Introduction

Blaze trazó sus nudillos a lo largo de su rostro y la vio asombrada por su toque. Continuó arrastrando su mano hacia abajo hasta que llegó a su cuello. Sus manos la rodearon con tanta ligereza que se convirtió en un tormento, Juliette no pudo evitar jadear ante su toque, su respiración aumentaba ligeramente.

«Blaze». Su voz era un susurro en un mar de emociones.

«Qué tímido». Él le dio la orden y ella solo pudo quedarse callada, ni siquiera sabía qué decir.
Sus manos no pararon de moverse, hasta que se posaron por encima de su corazón. Él la miró y supo, por los latidos de su ritmo cardiaco, cada vez mayor, que ella lo quería casi tanto como él la quería a ella.

«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado, Juliette?» Su voz es aguda.

«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado?» Preguntó, poco a poco se le estaba acabando el aliento, con tan solo tocarlo. Este hombre la volvería loca.

«¿Cuánto tiempo ha pasado desde que te tocaron de esta manera?» La miró fijamente a los ojos como si se tratara de una conversación normal que pudiera mantenerse en cualquier momento o lugar.

Blaze notó su expresión y adivinó: «Era él, ¿no?» Juliette asintió en señal de confirmación

«¿Te importa si cambio eso?» Preguntó

Chapter 1

Juliette se sentó detrás de su escritorio, terminando diligentemente sus informes, y luego hizo una nota mental para enviar recordatorios al resto de los empleados sobre la gran presentación programada para el próximo mes. Puede parecer mucho tiempo, pero con todo el trabajo que se estaba realizando en la empresa, todos necesitaban recordatorios de que el día se acercaba rápidamente porque aún quedaba mucho trabajo por hacer.

Todavía estaba escribiendo cuando el teléfono en su escritorio comenzó a sonar. Dando una última ojeada a la página, levantó el teléfono, sin concentrarse del todo.

—Oficina del Sr. Blaze Matthews, ¿en qué puedo ayudarle? —habló cortésmente al teléfono—. Sí, Sr. Crane, ¿puede esperar un momento, por favor? —Puso la llamada en espera y marcó para su jefe.

—Sr. Matthews, el Sr. Crane ha llamado para confirmar su cena de negocios a las ocho de esta noche —habló firmemente al teléfono y simplemente recibió un breve—. Dígale que está confirmado —y la línea se cortó.

—Sr. Crane, el Sr. Matthews se reunirá con usted allí —esperó mientras el hombre hablaba y luego dio una despedida final—. De nada, que tenga un maravilloso día —y la llamada terminó.

Ser secretaria consumía mucho tiempo, siempre había algo que hacer en la empresa: archivar, organizar citas, reclutar y capacitar, y una serie de otras tareas, pero no le importaba, le gustaba su trabajo.

Juliette estaba en medio de escribir cuando el teléfono sonó, solo pudo sonar una vez ya que respondió rápidamente. Tan pronto como contestó, una voz calmada pero disuasoria resonó.

—En mi oficina ahora —la llamada terminó, Juliette colocó el teléfono y se levantó sin prisa, alisando su vestido negro y sencillo de manga larga hasta la rodilla que se ceñía a su cuerpo.

No estaba lejos de la oficina de Blaze, de hecho, estaba ubicada justo enfrente. Abrió las puertas dobles y entró, vio que él estaba sentado detrás de su escritorio, obviamente trabajando. Juliette siempre admiraba eso de Blaze; su fuerte ética de trabajo, pero al mismo tiempo le daba lástima, nunca se le veía con una mujer que no pareciera una modelo, siempre mujeres delgadas, hermosas y con piernas largas. Mientras que Juliette medía apenas un metro sesenta y tenía la figura de un reloj de arena.

Se paró a solo quince centímetros de su escritorio y esperó, él le hablaría cuando estuviera listo. Finalmente, él levantó la vista y la miró, sus ojos azules se fundían casi demasiado perfectamente con su traje. Ella trató de no pensar en cómo el azul le recordaba al mar, lleno y capaz de enormes emociones, o en cómo su mandíbula dura y su cuello fuerte se enfatizaban con la fusión de los azules.

—¿Has enviado los recordatorios a los trabajadores? —preguntó, y fue recompensado con un breve—. Lo he hecho, pero dudo mucho que me hayas llamado aquí para preguntar eso —replicó ella.

—¿Cómo lo sabes? —preguntó una vez más y se sintió incómodo al ver que ella parecía mirar directamente frente a él. Juliette nunca lo miraba como lo hacían otras mujeres, y no se sentía como un objeto decorativo a su alrededor, pero, sin embargo, el hecho de que ella no pareciera importarle en absoluto lo incomodaba, pero, por otro lado, eso era lo que la hacía la mejor mujer para el trabajo.

—Podrías haberme preguntado por teléfono —sonrió cortésmente. Normalmente, él despediría al hombre que tuviera el valor de hablarle así, pero ella era diferente. Había tenido sesiones uno a uno con ella para discutir presentaciones y conceptos, ella lo desafiaba, lo hacía mejor en lo que hacía; ¡y él ya era el mejor! Ella era una joven inteligente. Con solo veinticinco años, era una excelente secretaria y manejaba su trabajo con facilidad.

—Tienes razón, como de costumbre —respondió y se sintió internamente nervioso al ver que ella no mostraba ni un atisbo de emoción, la mayoría de las mujeres sonreirían seductoramente si él les dijera eso—. Necesito un favor —dijo, levantándose de su escritorio para caminar al frente de este; apoyándose en él, cruzó los brazos sobre su pecho.

Juliette lo miró con igual intensidad e hizo un gesto para que continuara, apartando su mirada de él una vez más.

—Mi hermana se casa en un mes y pronto haré un viaje a casa.

—¿Entonces quieres que programe la fecha, ponga recordatorios? —preguntó Juliette antes de que él pudiera continuar.

—No exactamente, me gustaría que... fingieras ser mi novia —respondió, observándola intensamente, esta vez su mirada se dirigió directamente a él para mirarlo a los ojos, fue la vez que más tiempo sostuvo su mirada desde que entró, continuando así, respondió.

—¿Qué? —su voz pequeña y ligeramente indignada, pensó Blaze.

Left at a pack border with a name and a stubborn heartbeat, Envy grows into the sharpest kind of survivor, an orphaned warrior who knows how to hold a line and keep moving. Love isn’t in the plan…until four alpha wolves with playboy reputations and inconveniently soft hands decide the girl who won’t bow is the only queen they’ll ever take. Their mate. 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.

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
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
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.

“You think I’d share my mate? Just stand by and watch while you fuck another woman and have her kids?”

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“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.

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.

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.
