Alice
Jag rusade ut från byggnaden där skridskoåkarnas träningsrum låg, desperat försökte jag lämna klubben utan att gråta. Alla hade alltid varit så underbara mot mig. Jag fick ett vackert halsband från mitt lag som en påminnelse om den tid vi tillbringade tillsammans.
Att lämna var otroligt svårt. Mina tränare hade stått vid min sida i många år, men att skiljas från min bästa vän, Lucas, var det svåraste. Vi hade åkt skridskor tillsammans sedan vi var fyra. Vi tävlade i vårt första juniormästerskap tillsammans, och sedan dess har vi alltid deltagit i tävlingar. Vi försökte åka paråkning några gånger och blev snabbt vana vid varandra. Våra tränare föreslog att vi skulle försöka tävla som ett par, men jag var lyckligare som en soloåkare.
"Alice, vänta!"
Jag slöt ögonen när jag hörde honom ropa efter mig. Jag vände mig om och såg honom springa mot mig. Hans blonda hår var rufsigt, och hans blå, tårfyllda ögon speglade hans sorg.
Han försökte hämta andan. Jag visste att han hade varit kär i mig ett tag, och nyligen hade jag börjat tänka på honom mer när jag övervägde att bli hans flickvän. Han var den enda pojken jag någonsin kommit nära, och jag gillade honom mycket. Jag kunde se mig själv bli kär i honom, kanske en dag.
Men det var för sent att överväga att starta ett förhållande med honom. Jag visste att bråk med min styvfar kunde leda till allvarliga konsekvenser, och det skulle vara jag som fick lida, inte han. Jag hade inget val; jag var tvungen att gå.
"Tänkte du inte på att stanna? Det finns många utmärkta universitet i Stockholm. Varför tror du att ett amerikanskt universitet är bättre?"
Jag kunde inte hitta orden för att svara honom. Istället steg jag närmare, kramade honom hårt och höll fast vid honom så länge jag kunde.
När jag hörde bussen närma sig släppte jag honom, kysste hans kind och skyndade mig in i fordonet.
Jag valde en plats på andra sidan av bussen. Jag visste att om jag såg hans sorgsna figur stå där och hoppas att jag skulle ändra mig, skulle det bryta ner mig helt. Jag torkade bort mina tårar och försökte se den bekanta utsikten genom mina tårfyllda ögon, men jag kunde inte se något.
Jag gick av bussen en hållplats innan min gata. Jag ville gå en liten bit, i hopp om att det skulle rensa mina tankar, men jag kände mig fortfarande likadan när jag kom hem.
När jag steg genom ytterdörren hörde jag min mammas röst. "Alice, är det du? Kom och ät middag."
Jag sa inte ett ord. Jag var inte säker på om hon hade gjort middag till oss alla, men jag gick till matsalen och satte mig. Tre tallrikar med lagad mat väntade på oss.
Jag var inte förvånad över att se min styvfar redan sitta där.
Jag hatade honom. Han hade aldrig rört mig fysiskt, men jag hatade honom för de år av psykisk misshandel han utsatte mig för och för den emotionella och fysiska skada han orsakade min mamma, vilket ledde till hennes sjukdom. Men nu, efter att han hade förstört min framtid, kände jag att jag kunde tortera honom till döds. Jag förblev tyst när jag hörde honom tala.
"Alice, jag pratade med familjen Andersson om dig. De har inget emot att du fortsätter med konståkningen och har accepterat din begäran att studera på universitet. De sa att du är fri att välja ett, och de kommer att betala för det."
Jag svarade inte. Han förblev tyst medan min mamma satte sig ner också.
"Jag skickar dig till ett bra ställe, Alice. De är en av de rikaste familjerna i Stockholm. De kommer att ge dig allt som vi aldrig kunde."
När han fortsatte lade jag ner besticken. Jag behövde hålla mig tillbaka från att säga något.
Han suckade medan jag kände hans blick på mig. "Du vet att vi inte har något annat val. Jag önskar att vi hade det," sa han smärtsamt.
Det var nog. Jag kände att min ilska skulle sluka mig om jag förblev tyst. Jag reste mig plötsligt och slog i bordet.
"Charles, är du medveten om vad du har gjort mot mig? Hur vågar du säga att du inte hade något annat val? Jag är din styvdotter. Är det här vad du uppfostrade mig för? Att sälja mig när du har ont om pengar?"
Jag skrek åt honom, mina händer skakade.
"Ta det lugnt, Alice. Du kommer att få allt du vill ha, och de skulder och tjänster jag är skyldig dessa människor kommer att lösas. Detta avtal är fördelaktigt för oss båda."
"Vad har jag att göra med dina skumma affärer? Varför jag? Är du medveten om att du tvingar mig in i ett äktenskap? Inser du ens att detta är mot min vilja? Det är mitt liv, för sjutton. Min karriär, mina drömmar — allt hårt arbete sedan jag var liten var förgäves."
Han bara tittade bort, som om han inte brydde sig. Jag sneglade på min mamma, som sänkte sitt huvud. Slutligen vände sig Charles till mig.
"Du kommer att få ett bra liv," sade han.
"Ett bra liv? Tror du verkligen att jag är så naiv att jag inte kan se vad detta handlar om? Vem köper en människa i dagens samhälle? Ska de köpa mina inre organ? Planerar de att använda mig som prostituerad eller som husdräng?"
Den här gången skrattade han.
"Var fick du den idén ifrån? Du kommer att bli en medlem av deras familj. De kommer att ta hand om dig."
"Jag ska ingenstans!" skrek jag. "Hör du mig? Du är en förlorare, en idiot. Jag tänker inte låta dig tjäna pengar på mig. Jag har mitt liv och min karriär, och jag kommer att fortsätta leva här — även om det innebär att gå till polisen och anmäla dig."
Jag pekade på honom, men rädslan hindrade mig från att säga mer när han reste sig och tryckte mig mot väggen. Han grep tag i min hals. Jag kände för att gråta, men jag ville inte visa någon svaghet.
"Håll käften, din lilla skitunge! Du åker imorgon. Tvinga mig inte att upprepa mig om du vill stanna hel!"

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.

But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.

Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
