Chapter 1

Isang palanggana ng malamig na tubig ang tumama sa mukha ni Zoey King, dahilan upang siya'y manginig at biglang magmulat ng mata. Pakiramdam niya'y parang nasagasaan siya ng trak, at nagkaroon ng ingay ng mga malalakas at galit na boses sa paligid niya.

"Walang hiya ka! Paano mo nagawa ito kay Ginoong Scott?"

"Zoey, paano mo nagawa ito? Ikaw ay magpapakasal na!"

"Kahihiyan! Ikinahihiya mo ang Pamilya King!"

Sumakit ang ulo ni Zoey sa lahat ng ingay. Tumingin siya pababa at napansin niyang naka-underwear lang siya. Ang leeg at balat niya ay puno ng malalaking kiss marks.

Nagsimulang bumalik ang mga alaala habang minamasahe ni Zoey ang kanyang sentido, hanggang sa maalala niya ang mga nangyari noong nakaraang gabi.

Na-drug siya ng isang aphrodisiac sa bar at nilabanan niya ang mga creepy na lalaki sa abot ng kanyang makakaya.

Sa kanyang pagkalito, napadpad siya sa kwartong ito. Ang sunod na alam niya, nasa mga bisig siya ng isang lalaki.

Sa kanyang pagkalito, hindi niya maalala ang itsura ng lalaki. Ang naaalala lang niya ay hinawakan niya ito, at naramdaman ang mga kamay nito sa kanyang katawan.

Pagkagising niya, wala na ang lalaki, pero nagtipon-tipon na ang maraming tao sa pintuan.

Tumingala si Zoey at malamig na tinitigan ang pamilyar na mukha sa karamihan—si Luna King, ang kanyang kapatid, ang utak sa likod ng lahat ng nangyari noong nakaraang gabi.

Kung hindi pinakialaman ni Luna ang kanyang inumin, hindi sana napunta si Zoey sa kwartong ito at nawala ang kanyang pagkabirhen.

Napansin ni Luna ang madilim na titig ni Zoey, kaya umiwas siya ng tingin at hinawakan ang braso ng seryosong si Brian Scott.

"Brian, patawarin mo ako. Si Zoey ay laging pasaway, at ilang beses na namin siyang pinagsabihan. Hindi ko inakalang magiging ganito siya kapal at babalewalain ang inyong engagement at makikipagtalik sa ibang lalaki. Kasalanan ng Pamilya King na hindi namin siya nadisiplina..." Namula ang mga mata ni Luna at kinagat ang kanyang labi.

Sa likod niya, galit na galit din sina Timothy King, ama ni Zoey, at Hazel King, ang kanyang ina, na parang gusto siyang lapain ng buhay.

"Zoey! Halika rito at humingi ng tawad kay Ginoong Scott!" galit na sabi ni Timothy habang nagngangalit ang mga ngipin.

"Sabi ko na nga ba, hindi natin dapat siya binalik. Dapat iniwan na lang siya sa mahirap na baryo na iyon!" galit na galit na sabi ni Hazel habang pinupunasan ang luha, na parang hindi si Zoey ang kanyang tunay na anak kundi isang mortal na kaaway.

Napangiti si Zoey ng mapait, pero nanatiling malamig ang kanyang puso. Ito ang mga magulang na ipinilit ng kanyang master na balikan niya para parangalan.

Pinapahalagahan nila si Luna, ang ampon nilang anak, na parang isang kayamanan, habang pahirap ng pahirap ang buhay ng kanilang tunay na anak.

Ngayon, pinagsisisihan na ni Zoey ang pakikinig sa kanyang master at pagbabalik upang magpabusabos sa mga taong ito.

Anim na buwan na ang nakalipas nang magpadala ng mga tao ang Pamilya King sa Whispering Pines Village upang kunin siya, sinasabing siya ang matagal nang nawawalang tunay na anak ng Pamilya King.

Ayaw sana ni Zoey na makipag-ugnayan muli sa pamilyang ito, pero pinilit siya ng kanyang master, si Saul Pena, kaya pumayag siya.

Simula nang bumalik siya sa Pamilya King, lagi siyang nakararanas ng panghahamak. Hindi gusto nina Timothy at Hazel ang anak nilang lumaki sa probinsya, pero labis nilang pinapaboran si Luna. Sobrang favoritism!

Isinuot ni Zoey ang kanyang damit, hindi pinapansin ang halos galit na mga tingin mula sa mga tao, at tumayo nang kalmado.

Isang hakbang pasulong si Brian, ang kanyang mga mata'y naglalagablab sa galit. "Zoey, iniisip mo ba talaga ang tungkol sa ating kasunduan?"

Tiningnan siya ni Zoey, may mapang-asar na ngiti sa kanyang mga labi. "Brian, hindi ba dapat ikaw ang tinatanong ko niyan? Ano ang ginagawa ninyo ni Luna sa bar kagabi? Akala mo ba hindi kita nakita?"

Nanigas ang mukha ni Brian, at naging hindi natural ang kanyang ekspresyon. "Nagsisinungaling ka tungkol sa akin! Ikaw ang nandaya, at ngayon sinisisi mo ako at si Luna? Napakababa naman niyan!"

Lumingon siya kina Timothy at Hazel, "Hindi ko na iniisip na dapat mangyari ang kasal na ito! Hindi kailangan ng pamilya Scott ng babaeng katulad niya!"

Agad na nataranta sina Timothy at Hazel. Pilit na ngumiti si Hazel, natatakot na mawala ang magandang kasunduan na ito. "Brian, huwag kang magpadalos-dalos. Kasalanan ito ni Zoey, at didisiplinahin namin siya. Matagal nang inayos ng mga pamilya King at Scott ang kasal na ito. Pakiusap, pag-isipan mo pa."

Tinignan ni Brian si Zoey, pagkatapos ay lumingon at maingat na hinawakan ang kamay ni Luna. "Timothy, Hazel, sa totoo lang, matagal ko nang mahal si Luna. Magkasama kami mula pagkabata. Ngayon na napatunayan ni Zoey na hindi siya tapat, sa tingin ko dapat si Luna at ako ang magkatuluyan."

Nagtinginan ang dalawa nang may pagmamahal, hindi pinapansin ang mga nagulat na mukha sa paligid nila.

Natapos na ni Zoey ang pagbibihis at tiningnan ang text message sa kanyang telepono: [Dr. K, handa na ang lahat para sa eksperimento. Inayos na ni Director Aaron Hill ang sasakyan para sunduin ka, at darating sila kaagad.]

Walang oras si Zoey para sayangin sa mga hangal na ito. Habang naglalakad siya papunta sa pintuan, hinawakan siya ni Luna. Paglingon ni Zoey, nakita niya ang mukha ni Luna na puno ng luha, parang labis na nasaktan.

"Zoey, saan ka pupunta? Galit ka ba dahil sa nararamdaman ko para kay Brian? Kasalanan ko ito. Hindi ko dapat siya minahal. Hindi ko hinihingi ang iyong kapatawaran, gusto ko lang na huwag mong hadlangan ang aming pagsasama..."

Isa pang pagluha. Sawa na si Zoey sa palabas na ito. Mula nang bumalik siya sa pamilya King, ilang beses na itong ginawa ni Luna.

Tuwing luluha si Luna, kakampi sa kanya ang buong pamilya King. Hindi naiiba ang pagkakataong ito.

Napasimangot si Zoey at hindi na nagpaawat na tanggalin ang kamay ni Luna. "Wala akong oras sa drama mo. Layas!"

Sa susunod na segundo, may narinig na sigaw ng gulat nang bumagsak si Luna at malakas na tumama sa sahig.

Agad na tumakbo si Brian para tulungan siya, tinitigan si Zoey nang may galit. "Nasiraan ka na ba ng bait?! Paano mo nagawang saktan ang kapatid mo?"

Galit din sina Timothy at Hazel.

Pero ngumisi lang si Zoey at naglakad papunta sa pintuan.

Narinig niya ang galit na sigaw ni Timothy mula sa likuran. "Walang hiya ka! Saan ka pupunta?"

Bahagyang huminto si Zoey, bahagyang lumingon, at ngumiti nang kalmado. "Pupuntahan ko yung gwapong lalaking kasama ko kagabi! May bago nang mahal si Brian, bakit hindi ako pwedeng magkaroon?"

Namutla ang mukha ni Timothy at nanginig ang kanyang mga daliri habang itinuturo ang papalayong pigura ni Zoey bago siya nawalan ng malay.

Hindi pinansin ni Zoey ang kaguluhan sa likuran niya at lumabas ng hotel.

Sa labas, isang grupo ng mga lalaking naka-itim ang nakapila nang maayos, naglalabas ng malakas na aura.

Paglabas ni Zoey, sabay-sabay na yumuko ang mga lalaking naka-itim, ang kanilang mga boses ay malakas at malinaw. "Maligayang pagdating, Dr. K!"

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”
“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.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”


As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

The one they have waited for. Xavier, Haiden, Levi, and Noah are gorgeous, lethal, and anything but perfect and Envy isn’t either. She’s changing. First into hell hound, Layah at her heels and fire in her veins. Then into what the realm has been waiting for, a Goddess of the Underworld, dragging her mates down to hell with her. Then finally into lycan princess, stronger, faster, the moon finally answering back, giving her exactly what she needs to protect her family.

When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armor, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.

"Will you continue to disobey me?" he asks, his gaze cool and hard.
"Yes,"
He exhales, raises his hand, and brings it down to slap my naked as again... harder than before. I gasp at the impact. It hurts, but it is so hot, and sexy.
"Will you do it again?"
"No,"
"No, what?"
"No, Sir,"
"Best girl," he brings his lips to kiss my behind while he caresses it softly.
"Now, I'm going to fck you," He sits me on his lap in a straddling position. We lock gazes. His long fingers find their way to my entrance and insert them.
"You're soaking for me, baby," he is pleased. He moves his fingers in and out, making me moan in pleasure.
