Introduction
La vita sembrava un sogno finché un giorno si trasformò in un incubo. Quel giorno, Aife scoprì che la bestia feroce di cui gli anziani parlavano per spaventare i bambini non era solo frutto dell'immaginazione di qualcuno.
Uscì dall'ombra per dimostrare che era reale: il branco era sotto attacco, i guerrieri cadevano ai suoi piedi e lei fu costretta a fare una scelta che avrebbe distrutto la sua realtà. *“Lei. Datemi lei e lascerò vivere i rimanenti. Datemela volontariamente o la prenderò dopo aver finito di massacrare i pochi membri del branco che vi restano.”*
Per salvarli, Aife accettò di andare via con l'uomo che aveva massacrato il suo branco. Poco sapeva che la sua vita sarebbe stata alla sua mercé dal momento in cui lui la gettò sulla sua spalla. Nel giro di poche ore, Aife perse il titolo di futura Alpha e divenne la proprietà della bestia.

Chapter 1
Punto di vista di Aife
Quando mi sono svegliata oggi con una strana sensazione nello stomaco, non ci ho dato molto peso. Anche quando la sensazione si è intensificata e si è trasformata in un presagio di terrore, che incombeva su di me come un'ombra oscura e pericolosa, l'ho comunque ignorata.
Avrei dovuto prestare attenzione. Avrei dovuto avvisare mio padre che qualcosa non andava.
Ma non l'ho fatto. Ho lasciato che questo 'qualcosa di sbagliato' accadesse. E non era solo una stupida sensazione viscerale. Era l'inizio dell'inevitabile rovina del nostro branco.
Una volta che le urla e i ringhi si sono lentamente affievoliti e si sono trasformati in un silenzio pesante e mortale, sono sgattaiolata fuori dalla casa del branco e ho corso intorno ad essa, verso il cortile. Mai nella mia vita avrei pensato che ignorare una sensazione viscerale avrebbe portato a conseguenze tanto orribili quanto il massacro a cui stavo assistendo.
Corpi, tutto ciò che potevo vedere erano corpi, sparsi come giocattoli rotti. L'erba verde e lussureggiante, una volta bellissima, era diventata un brutto dipinto di rosso scuro.
Le mie mani tremavano e il vomito mi saliva in gola mentre facevo i primi passi all'interno dell'epicentro del massacro. Da qualche parte, fuori dalla mia vista, un altro combattimento iniziava, avvisandomi della mancanza di tempo che avevo.
Ogni passo sembrava più pesante del precedente, ma mi sono costretta ad andare avanti. Se c'erano sopravvissuti, avevano bisogno di cure mediche immediate.
Anche con un obiettivo chiaro nella mente, non potevo ignorare i corpi che giacevano in pozze del loro stesso sangue, ora mescolato con il sangue delle loro famiglie e amici.
Sopravvissuti. Dovevano esserci sopravvissuti qui. Nessuno attaccava i branchi in questo modo, nessuno arrivava al punto di spazzare via secoli di linee di sangue continue solo perché ne aveva il potere.
Quando finalmente mi sono fermata, non ho potuto trattenere le lacrime mentre la realtà si faceva strada nella mia mente. Non avevano risparmiato nessuno, ogni persona, ogni guerriero una volta abile era stato fatto a pezzi e lasciato a marcire.
La cosa peggiore di tutte, mentre tutto ciò che potevo fare era stare lì e guardare le conseguenze dell'attacco feroce, altri dei nostri guerrieri venivano massacrati.
Volevo aiutare, fare qualcosa, qualsiasi cosa, ma come potevo farlo, se il mio corpo si rifiutava di muoversi anche quando lo desideravo con tutte le mie forze?
“Aife! Aife, cosa stai facendo lì?” ho sentito gridare mio padre, ma nemmeno la sua voce, la disperazione e la paura che la riempivano, mi hanno aiutato a muovermi.
I miei occhi erano incollati sui corpi, sullo spargimento di sangue, occhi ancora spalancati, e l'espressione di puro orrore sui volti dei caduti.
“Rientra in casa! Subito!” Ha urlato a squarciagola proprio in tempo con un ringhio che scuoteva il terreno, proveniente dalla copertura della foresta.
Avevo sentito molte volte come le persone descrivevano una sensazione così terrificante, che le uniche parole che riuscivano a trovare erano 'congelante il sangue', una sensazione che non avrei mai pensato di provare.
Ma l'ho provata.
Il ringhio conteneva così tanto potere, che tutti si sono congelati, persino i nemici che stavano strappando e tagliando gole solo pochi istanti prima si sono fermati.
Forzando giù il nodo che si era formato nella mia gola, ho stretto i pugni e mi sono girata lentamente sui talloni per guardare la foresta. Forse non avrei visto nulla, forse era un tentativo di richiamare i guerrieri nemici, ma nel profondo, sapevo che non poteva essere così.
E non lo era.
Un uomo completamente nudo, massiccio e sporco è emerso dalla copertura del bosco. Anche da così lontano, potevo vedere che era impressionante - sovrastava i pochi che lo seguivano, il suo corpo più definito di quelli dei suoi seguaci. Doveva essere il capo degli attaccanti mostruosi.
Gli occhi del feroce sconosciuto erano puntati su di me mentre iniziava a camminare in direzione della casa del branco, rifiutandosi di distogliere lo sguardo anche per un solo istante mentre i miei occhi cercavano disperatamente mio padre.
Quando lo notai, trattenuto da due uomini, volevo correre in suo aiuto, ma il tentativo fu fermato prima ancora di iniziare con una sola, tagliente parola.
“Fermati!” ringhiò lo sconosciuto.
Quando il mio sguardo tornò su di lui, trovai immediatamente la forza di indietreggiare. Sembrava omicida. Il modo in cui si avvicinava a me come un vero predatore mi fece quasi fermare il cuore.
Non era più lontano di un paio di passi quando scivolai sul sangue e caddi all'indietro, atterrando su una pila di corpi.
Quando si avvicinò, notai che l'uomo aveva occhi così neri e vuoti, sapevo che erano gli occhi di un assassino. Occhi che avevano visto tanta sofferenza, dolore e paura, eppure non avevano mai risparmiato un'anima sul loro cammino. Il suo sguardo da solo mi fece venire i brividi lungo la schiena.
Eppure, anche se tutti potevano vedere come lottavo per strisciare via, lui continuava ad avvicinarsi.
“Fermati!” ringhiò.
Lo feci. Non potevo crederci, ma seguii il suo comando e mi bloccai completamente. Non muovevo nemmeno la mano che ora copriva il volto di uno dei guerrieri caduti.
Il mio cuore batteva così forte nel petto, che sembrava volesse uscire e correre il più lontano possibile dal mio corpo.
“Stai lontano da lei! Stai lontano da mia figlia! Mostro, stai lontano da mia figlia!” sentii mio padre urlare.
Ero sicura che se avessi osato guardare nella sua direzione, lo avrei visto dimenarsi contro gli uomini che lo trattenevano, ma non potevo distogliere lo sguardo dal predatore davanti a me.
“Silenzio!” Un altro ringhio terrificante uscì dallo sconosciuto mentre si fermava proprio davanti a me.
Più a lungo mi fissava, più piccola mi sentivo. Sembrava che se ne fosse accorto perché presto, l'angolo della sua bocca si contrasse, come se stesse cercando di reprimere un sorriso. Io, per una, non potevo immaginare un mostro come lui capace di sorridere. Capace di emozioni...
Potevo ancora sentire la voce di papà in sottofondo finché le parole non si trasformarono in un confuso miscuglio. Sembrava che qualcuno gli avesse messo una mano sulla bocca per zittirlo.
“Un'altra parola e potrei cedere alla tentazione di fare cose indicibili a tua figlia, proprio davanti ai tuoi occhi,” annunciò il bruto mentre il suo sguardo finalmente si staccava da me e si concentrava su mio padre.
Non ero sicura di cosa fosse peggio, ma per il breve istante di libertà, lo godetti egoisticamente.
“Togli la mano, Soren. Il vecchio dovrà sprecare il fiato su questo,” parlò di nuovo, girando lentamente la testa e inchiodandomi di nuovo con il suo sguardo.
Il mio labbro inferiore tremava, così lo catturai rapidamente tra i denti per nascondere quanto fossi terrorizzata. Probabilmente poteva percepire la mia paura a chilometri di distanza, ma ero troppo testarda per mostrarla apertamente.
“Cosa vuoi da noi? Cosa abbiamo fatto per meritarci questo? Perché stai massacrando la nostra gente?” Le parole di papà risuonarono ma caddero nel vuoto.
Lo sconosciuto puntò il dito verso di me e ringhiò. “Lei. Dammi lei e lascerò vivere i rimanenti. Dammela volontariamente o la prenderò dopo aver finito di massacrare i pochi membri del branco che ti restano.”

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 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.

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.
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.
