Introduction
«¿Quién eres? No te conozco», respondió Pearl con miedo. Acarició la impecable piel de Pearl con la punta de los dedos y luego la agarró por la mandíbula. Pearl abrió mucho los ojos de inmediato. Su respiración se detuvo. Esta vez, morirá.

Chapter 1
*Su respiración rugía más cerca, asustando aún más a Pearl. El hombre se acercó a Pearl hasta que la punta de su nariz casi tocó la de ella. Pearl contuvo la respiración como si fuera a morir. Sus ojos marrón dorado cautivaron a Pearl, impidiéndole empujar.
El hombre entonces siseó:
—Deja de retorcerte, muñequita. No te dejaré ir —sin parpadear, asustando a Pearl mientras la sujetaba.
—¿Quién eres? No te conozco —respondió Pearl con miedo. Él acarició la piel impecable de Pearl con la punta de sus dedos, luego le agarró la mandíbula. Pearl abrió los ojos de par en par de inmediato. La respiración se detuvo. Esta vez, va a morir.
—Me conoces bien, muñeca —continuó el fuerte siseo del hombre. Pearl seguía negando con la cabeza, pero el hombre sonrió ampliamente.
—Eres mi compañera, y ahora disfrutaré de tu cuerpo.
—No, por favor no. ¡Déjame ir! —Pearl hizo un esfuerzo por gritar. Sin embargo, su voz no parecía querer salir. El hombre se alejó y de repente se transformó en un monstruo horrible. Pearl cerró los ojos de golpe. Él mordió dolorosamente el cuello de Pearl cuando ella gritó a todo pulmón.
—¡No!*
Su hermana Briana vino a sacudir a Pearl. Apareció debido al grito de Pearl en medio de la noche.
—¡Pearl, Pearl! ¡Despierta! Pearl, ¿qué te pasa? —Pearl estaba luchando con algo en su sueño mientras Briana le gritaba. Finalmente, al despertar, lloró. Pearl resopló al despertar. Rápidamente abrazó a Briana. Briana también estaba asustada al ver a su hermana teniendo una convulsión mientras dormía.
—¿Qué pasó? ¿Tuviste una pesadilla? —preguntó Briana mientras soltaba a Pearl de su abrazo. Pearl aún jadeaba por aire. Su rostro seguía pálido de miedo.
—Un hombre apareció en mi sueño y me estranguló. Se convirtió en un monstruo terrible y luego me mordió el cuello —dijo Pearl, tratando de contar su sueño. Mientras se frotaba la cabeza, Briana también miraba preocupada a Pearl.
—Tengo mucho miedo —suspiró Pearl de nuevo, cubriéndose la cara con las manos.
—¿Soñaste lo mismo otra vez? —preguntó Briana con tono preocupado. Pearl asintió, luego bajó la mirada.
—No te preocupes, solo fue una pesadilla. No te pasó nada, Pearl —Pearl asintió, luego respiró hondo. Se siente más tranquila después de regresar al mundo real.
—Sí, espero que ese sueño desaparezca. Se siente realmente mal.
Pearl tenía que seguir descansando ya que aún era de noche. Briana también durmió en la habitación de Pearl para acompañarla. Sin embargo, las pesadillas de Pearl la mantendrán despierta para siempre. ¿Quién es el hombre que se convirtió en un monstruo? Pearl no quiere recordarlo más. Su rostro permaneció atrapado en la mente de Pearl todo este tiempo, aunque no lo conocía.
Por la mañana, Pearl recibió una notificación de correo electrónico sorpresa. Cuando leyó el correo electrónico de una gran empresa, sus ojos se abrieron de par en par.
—¡Oh Dios mío, esto es increíble! —chilló Pearl tan felizmente. La mala sensación de la pesadilla de la noche anterior desapareció. Pearl salió corriendo, gritando desde la habitación.
—¡Papá, papá, mira! ¡Lo conseguí! ¡Conseguí la pasantía de Excellor!
John se levantó de su silla de inmediato y miró el correo electrónico en el celular de Pearl. Sonriendo ampliamente, le dio un abrazo de felicitación a Pearl. Keith, Briana y John también sonreían ampliamente.
—¡Oh, felicidades, cariño! Lo lograste. ¡Oh, estoy tan orgulloso de ti! —dijo John, abrazando a Pearl. Pearl estaba emocionada y agradecida cuando, después del programa de pasantía, fue contratada por Excellor Enterprise para un excelente puesto.
—¡Eres increíble, querida! —Keith se unió a los elogios hacia Pearl. Pearl recordó abrazar a su hermano mayor.
—Muchas gracias, hermano. Siempre me apoyas. —Keith sonrió ampliamente, luego abrazó a Pearl una vez más. Briana y Keith intercambiaron abrazos y luego rieron juntos. Ver a sus tres hijos hizo muy feliz a John. La notable inteligencia, generosidad y logros de Pearl especialmente emocionaban a John al verla.
Después de leer el correo electrónico nuevamente, Briana dijo:
—Escuché que la empresa también ofrece becas para programas de maestría para aquellos que pasan las pasantías allí. —Pearl sonrió ampliamente y asintió.
—Sí. Siempre ha sido mi sueño entrar allí. ¡Oh, estoy tan feliz! —dijo Pearl, emocionada. Incluso derramó lágrimas. Su sueño de convertirse en una diseñadora de interiores reconocida se hará realidad. Excellor es una empresa famosa hoy en día. Abrirse camino a través de un programa de pasantía es un honor.
De repente, Sandra vino a regañarla.
—¿Qué pasa? —Sandra frunció el ceño, no le gustaba ver a Pearl feliz. Sin embargo, Pearl aún mostró una actitud diferente, aunque su madrastra no la quisiera.
—Mamá, mira. Excellor me aceptó como pasante. ¡Estoy tan feliz! —Pearl sonrió ampliamente y luego le mostró a Sandra el correo electrónico que recibió. Sandra hojeó el correo electrónico y luego miró a su esposo, John, quien seguía sonriendo.
—¿Sabías todo esto? —Sandra reprendió a John. Pearl inmediatamente se quedó seria. Asimismo, Briana y Keith necesitaban una explicación.
—Sí —respondió John brevemente con una cara seria.
—¿Y simplemente la dejas ir? ¡No puede trabajar allí ahora! —dijo Sandra, sorprendiendo a Pearl. Pearl necesitaba una explicación. Su ceño se frunció en incomprensión.
—¿Qué quieres decir, mamá? ¿Por qué no puedo trabajar allí? —preguntó Pearl perpleja. Sandra medio arrojó el celular de Pearl sobre la mesa del comedor como si estuviera enfadada con la situación. Se volvió hacia John. Él no dijo nada.
—John, dile lo que tiene que hacer —ordenó Sandra a John tensamente. John miró a sus hijos uno por uno. La alegría que había aparecido antes ahora desapareció instantáneamente.
—¿Qué está pasando, papá? —preguntó Pearl a su padre.
—Es que... —John parecía dudar en decirlo. Mientras tanto, Sandra cruzó los brazos, presionando a John para que hablara con más claridad. John no tuvo otra opción.
—Mañana por la noche, Pearl tiene que asistir a una cena de gala. Tu futuro esposo se presentará. —John finalmente habló. Pearl y sus dos hermanos estaban tan sorprendidos.
—¿Qué? ¿Qué quieres decir, papá? —Pearl jadeó incrédula. Sandra entonces agarró el brazo de Pearl porque quería acercarse a su padre.
—Hemos decidido casarte ahora.
—¡Pero voy a Excellor, mamá! ¡No puedo casarme ahora! —Pearl negó, rechazando el inesperado compromiso. Sandra negó con la cabeza, luego miró fijamente a Pearl. No perderá la oportunidad de convertirse en parte de la familia de su futuro yerno.
—Tienes que hacerlo. Esta es la decisión de tu padre, y lo obedecerás.
—Pero...
—Deja de lado esta idea inútil de Excellor. ¡Si te casas con él, nunca tendrás que trabajar por el resto de tu vida!

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."

What? No—wait… oh Moon Goddess, no.

But she's not. I can feel her excitement bubbling under my skin, while all I feel is dread.
We turn the corner, and the scent hits me like a punch to the chest—cinnamon and something impossibly warm. My eyes scan the room until they land on him. Tall. Commanding. Beautiful.
And then, just as quickly… he sees me.

"Fuck no."
He turns—and runs.

While he tries to refuse to acknowledge that he has met his mate his world is turned upside down after guards catch two she-wolves running through his lands.

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.
“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...

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."

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.
