Introduction
Volevo ridere alla vista, ma il silenzio mi zittì. Stavo per girarmi, ma improvvisamente un braccio possessivo mi avvolse la vita e mi tirò più vicino al suo corpo caldo.
Potevo sentire un misto di colonia e muschio che era sia allettante che intimidatorio. Il mio cuore batteva forte mentre cercavo di capire chi stesse parlando e chi mi stesse tenendo.
Ma prima che potessi capirlo, una voce gelida ruppe il silenzio e mi fece venire i brividi lungo la schiena.
"Posso sentirti, ragazza."
La voce sembrava quella di qualcuno che aveva fumato per anni, il tono basso, rauco e minaccioso. Era calda e umida. Prima che potessi reagire, aggiunse, "Finalmente ti ho trovata, mia compagna."

Chapter 1
Punto di vista di Maddie
"Ehi, signorina! Quando pensi di pagare l'affitto? Quando sarò pronta a mettere piede nella tomba?!" Fui svegliata bruscamente da un urlo forte. "Se conto fino a tre e non esci, farò sfondare la porta a questi uomini! Uno!"
Oh no, è di nuovo il padrone di casa!
Saltai giù dal letto e mi misi a correre. Senza battere ciglio, con i capelli arruffati che potevano rivaleggiare con i serpenti di Medusa e un alito mattutino che poteva stendere un cavallo, mi precipitai verso la porta senza perdere un colpo. Aprii la porta e vidi il padrone di casa che sembrava arrabbiato e sorpreso.
La salutai timidamente, "Buongiorno, signora Rossi! È passato un po' di tempo—"
"È passato un po' di tempo da quando hai pagato l'affitto! Cosa c'è di buono in questa mattina se devo svegliarmi presto solo per ricordarti di pagare?!" sibilò, allungando la mano per il pagamento.
Le feci un'espressione di scuse, ma in realtà non la stavo ascoltando. Sembrava arrabbiata, ma non mi importava. Dopotutto, era ancora presto e tutto quello che volevo fare era dormire. Tuttavia, sapevo che la mia situazione abitativa era pessima e presto avrei perso il tetto sopra la testa.
"Um..." cominciai a grattarmi la testa. "Beh, signora Rossi, sa, ho appena iniziato a lavorare e non ho ancora guadagnato un centesimo, né posso andare a chiedere un anticipo... Posso avere un po' più di tempo per pensarci? Giuro che pagherò appena—"
"Non c'è modo che ti dia un altro mese! Hai causato problemi al mio business per cinque mesi di fila! Mi sono sforzata di aiutarti durante questi mesi, ma ho raggiunto il mio limite! Se non hai soldi, allora vattene!" Se ne andò rapidamente, accompagnata dai due uomini.
Sospirai.
Dove dovrei andare ora?
Sono Maddie Ziegler, una diciannovenne sfortunata che fatica a sbarcare il lunario. Una ragazza con più problemi di quanti ne possa gestire. Da quando mia zia mi ha voltato le spalle un anno fa, sono rimasta senza alcun supporto per pagare l'affitto. Ho fatto domanda per lavori cinque mesi fa, ma nessuno mi ha assunto perché non ho un diploma di scuola superiore.
Per fortuna, ieri ho avuto un colpo di fortuna e ho trovato un lavoro, ma sembra che la fortuna abbia deciso di mettermi i bastoni tra le ruote e di disturbare la mia pace. Ora, devo dire addio al mio appartamento confortevole senza sapere dove andrò dopo!
Non avevo altra scelta che lasciare il mio appartamento, così raccolsi le mie cose. Per fortuna, non c'era niente di importante tranne il mio guardaroba. Iniziai il mio viaggio puntualmente alle 20:00.
Mentre trascinavo il mio bagaglio per la strada buia, non potei fare a meno di lamentarmi, "Perché tutto va storto per me?" Proprio quando pensavo che la sfortuna mi avesse già lasciata, il mio stomaco brontolò rumorosamente. "E adesso, fortuna?"
Cercai nelle tasche, sperando di trovare qualche soldo, ma tutto ciò che trovai fu sporcizia e involucri di caramelle. Non avevo mangiato per tutta la mattina perché ero stata impegnata a chiedere aiuto ai miei amici, ma nessuno era disposto a darmi una mano.
Proprio mentre stavo per continuare il mio cammino, mi fermai quando sentii delle donne ridere nelle vicinanze. Stavano parlando eccitate di qualcosa, e presto scoprii di cosa si trattava.
"Hai sentito? Il cibo è gratis! Possiamo mangiare quanto vogliamo!"
"Che fortuna! È da un po' che non mangio cibo gratis!"
Non potei ignorare quello che avevo sentito, così mi avvicinai rapidamente alle donne. "Scusate," dissi imbarazzata. "Non ho potuto fare a meno di sentire che parlavate di quel... ehm... posto. Potete dirmi dov'è?"
Le due donne mi guardarono con simpatia, come se capissero cosa avevo passato oggi.
Dopo avermi dato un'occhiata veloce, indicarono verso il lato più animato della strada, non troppo lontano da dove ci trovavamo, dove c'era una folla vivace e una moltitudine di luci.
"Grazie, ragazze! Vi devo un favore!"
Dopo aver espresso la mia gratitudine, si affrettarono a dirigersi lì, e io non esitai a seguirle. Quando arrivammo, i miei occhi scintillarono e il mio stomaco brontolò ancora più forte. Senza perdere tempo, iniziai a selezionare il cibo, e con mia grande gioia, era perfetto! Non costava nulla!
Scelsi con cura i miei piatti preferiti e ne conservai anche alcuni di nascosto per dopo. In questo modo, avrei avuto anche una deliziosa sorpresa da gustare nei giorni a venire. Sebbene fosse una situazione difficile da accettare, non avevo altra scelta che affrontare la realtà e essere umile. Tuttavia, mentre mi preparavo a partire, non potevo scrollarmi di dosso la sensazione che qualcosa non andasse in quell'area.
Notai che le persone non stavano mangiando, ma stavano invece uscendo da un luogo scarsamente illuminato. Incuriosita, mi avvicinai lentamente verso dove si stavano dirigendo.
Ero piena di curiosità quando vidi una coppia in piedi davanti a una vecchia signora, tutti e tre coperti di garza bianca. La folla intorno a loro era completamente silenziosa, creando un'atmosfera inquietante.
L'uomo dichiarò, "Io, Ambrogio Rita, accetto Yulia Henzi come mia compagna!"
Volevo ridere alla vista, ma il silenzio mi fece chiudere la bocca. Stavo per girarmi e indagare di più. Tuttavia, improvvisamente, un braccio possessivo mi avvolse la vita, tirandomi più vicino al suo corpo caldo. Potevo sentire un misto di colonia e un odore muschiato che era sia attraente che intimidatorio. Il mio cuore batteva forte mentre cercavo di capire chi stesse parlando e chi mi stesse tenendo.
Ma prima che potessi farlo, una voce agghiacciante ruppe il silenzio, mandandomi brividi lungo la schiena.
"Posso sentirti, donna."
Sembrava la voce di qualcuno che aveva fumato per anni, con un tono profondo, rauco e minaccioso. Era calda e umida. E prima che potessi reagire, aggiunse, "Finalmente ti ho trovata, mia compagna."

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…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
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.
Aiden

A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.

I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
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.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
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."

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.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

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.
