Chapter 1
Vous connaissez ces histoires de rejetés indésirables dont les proches soit sont morts, soit les ont abandonnés pour dériver sans but à travers le monde ? Des personnes insignifiantes, presque invisibles aux yeux des autres. Il n'y a rien de spectaculaire chez eux, aucune ascension grandiose du néant à quelque chose à mesure qu'ils atteignent l'âge adulte.
Oui, eh bien, c'est un peu mon histoire.
Je m'appelle Alora Dennison, et je suis littéralement à quelques heures de ma Cérémonie d'Éveil à l'âge mûr de dix-huit ans, sans absolument personne qui se soucie de moi pour être là ; pas de soutien, pas de famille, et certainement pas d'amis. Je suis une épanouie tardive, je suppose. Ce n'est pas inhabituel dans ma lignée, car presque toutes les femmes de ma famille ne se sont pas 'révélées' avant d'avoir atteint la fin de l'adolescence, d'après ce dont je me souviens. Tout comme les autres à l'orphelinat, coincés ici avec moi. Une autre raison pour laquelle nous sommes snobés et laissés à nos propres moyens dans cet enfer qu'ils appellent une maison.
Ma cérémonie me bouleverse intérieurement et je fais les cent pas nerveusement dans la chambre que je partage avec Vanka. Elle est comme moi, bien que, en toutes ces années où nous avons partagé notre chambre, je ne peux pas dire que nous soyons devenues amies. Elle montre clairement qu'elle ne m'aime pas et, comme tout le monde autour de moi, ils gardent tous leurs distances. Nous nous tolérons, mais aucun de nous n'a jamais créé de liens.
Je suis une orpheline dont les parents sont morts il y a dix ans lors de la guerre contre les vampires. Elle aussi, mais cela ne l'a pas rapprochée de moi. Je suppose que c'est parce qu'elle vient d'une branche de la meute Santo, et ils détestent la meute Whyte depuis bien avant la guerre. Nous étions en conflit avant que les vampires ne nous unissent tous, et les vieilles cicatrices et rancunes ne sont pas quelque chose que les loups oublient rapidement.
Nous étions deux petites filles sans tuteurs de sang immédiats, placées dans cet endroit pour les louveteaux indésirables afin de vivre nos jours de manière insignifiante. Il aurait été plus gentil de mettre fin à notre misère à l'époque que de nous laisser vivre comme des parias parmi notre peuple, nos semblables. Rejetées parce que nous sommes la preuve honteuse que leurs meutes les ont abandonnées. Je ne pense pas qu'ils savaient quoi faire d'autre de nous. Tant de jeunes sans personne pour s'occuper d'eux et les élever selon nos coutumes, et vus comme maudits. Ils avaient honte des échecs de nos familles, et nous sommes celles qui portent ce fardeau comme une marque noire éternelle peinte sur nos visages.
Je suis étonnée que des enfants comme nous puissent même passer par la cérémonie. Je veux dire, c'est un peu un gros truc, et nous ne le sommes pas vraiment. Nous sommes un peu comme les enfants perdus du Pays Imaginaire, sauf que... aucun de nous ne veut rester ici, et grandir est le seul moyen de s'en sortir.
Votre Éveil est un peu comme une remise de diplôme, en un sens. Un passage de l'enfant à l'adulte et, généralement, là où vous trouveriez votre place, votre rang, dans la meute, et vous trouveriez un compagnon. Je n'ai aucune illusion que cela signifie quoi que ce soit de ce genre pour aucun de nous qui se transforme ce soir. Il y a quatre d'entre nous de la maison des indésirables, et j'entends peut-être trois des meutes environnantes. Juste une poignée d'enfants essayant de se libérer, de trouver leur chemin, et tout cela en la fabuleuse présence de tout le 'Packdom'.
Le Packdom, c'est-à-dire la douzaine de tribus de loups de l'État. Ils doivent tous se réunir à Shadow Rock pour te voir te transformer complètement pour la première fois sous la pleine lune de ton mois de naissance. Ce n'est pas difficile de savoir quand tu es prêt. Dans les semaines qui précèdent ton anniversaire, tu commences à changer de petites manières, et, bon sang, ça fait mal comme si tes entrailles étaient brisées et étirées dans des accès de douleur sévère et sans aucun contrôle sur ce qui se passe.
Les signes sont assez clairs pour tous. Un peu comme la puberté pour les loups-garous, je suppose. Maturité, améliorations physiques, et une énorme augmentation de l'appétit et de l'agressivité. Des petits moments où tu commences à te transformer douloureusement, puis ça disparaît aussi vite, donc tu n'atteins jamais vraiment la première transition, mais c'est signalé, et personne ne peut le cacher. La douleur que tu sais venir avec la première fois, elle est réservée pour la pleine lune après ton anniversaire.
Certaines personnes ne passent pas par là avant plus tard dans la vie, et d'autres plus tôt. En général, c'est un signe de ta place dans la hiérarchie quand tu te transformes. Selon les anciens de Santo, plus ça prend de temps, plus ton ADN est faible, mais mes parents n'en ont jamais parlé quand j'étais jeune. Donc, avoir dix-huit ans me place très bas dans la hiérarchie et confirme que ma lignée n'était pas celle de guerriers ou assez forte pour être quelque chose d'important. Vanka a seize ans, et elle aussi se transforme ce soir, mais avec du sang de Santo quelque part dans ses veines, elle aurait dû se transformer bien plus tôt. Je suppose que le mélange qui est en elle est la raison pour laquelle ils la rejettent comme l'une des leurs.
Je veux dire, regarde les Santos. Ils sont la meute régnante de l'État, et tout le monde dans leur lignée de sang s'est transformé avant dix ans. Colton, le prochain héritier en tant qu'Alpha, a dix-neuf ans, règne sur tout notre royaume, et il court avec la meute depuis qu'il avait à peine huit ans.
Chaque membre de sa famille est revenu des guerres, ce qui en dit long sur la pureté de leurs gènes, leur force et leurs capacités au combat. Il est destiné à prendre la relève de son père en tant qu'Alpha un jour, et la façon dont les choses se passent, il ne sera pas seulement l'Alpha de la meute Santo, mais de nous tous. Quelque chose qui ne s'est jamais produit de notre vivant mais qui marquera un nouveau départ dans la façon dont les meutes vivent.
Santo n'est pas un gars sympa. Aucun d'eux ne l'est. Il se promène entouré de sa sous-meute, nous regarde de haut et ne fait jamais de contact visuel ni ne répond à personne en dessous de son rang. C'est comme ça que ça fonctionne ici. La domination et la force sont tout pour les loups. Il a l'arrogance de son père, et il sait que toutes les femelles atteignant la puberté rêvent de devenir sa compagne. Il n'a pas encore officiellement choisi ou marqué quelqu'un, et malgré le fait d'avoir toujours la même fille à ses côtés, il est libre jusqu'à ce qu'il le fasse.
D'une beauté sans faille dans ce style latino sombre, beau gosse avec un visage bien trop charmant. Il mesure plus d'un mètre quatre-vingt-dix de muscles et rayonne d'agressivité sans essayer, et est un loup rare à fourrure noire lors de sa transformation, l'un des plus grands parmi nous. Je pense que la seule fois où il a reconnu mon existence, c'est le jour où il m'a poussée hors de son chemin en passant. J'ai trébuché devant lui dans le couloir menant à la grande salle, et il n'a pas sourcillé ni manqué un pas en me repoussant agressivement comme si j'étais un déchet léger. Toutes les filles ont ri de moi quand je suis tombée sur mon derrière et ai glissé dans la poubelle, et j'ai veillé à ne plus jamais me mettre sur son chemin.

Accardi
“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

A weeklong wedding in New Hope. One mansion full of guests. And a very bitter maid of honor.
To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

Yet Alexander made his decision clear to the world: “Evelyn is the only woman I will ever marry.”

For Enzo, this is the ultimate security breach. But the fiery, unpredictable tattoo artist is the most intriguing thing to happen to him in years. To stop his crew from “neutralizing” the threat, he makes an impulsive claim: she’s his fiancée.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
