Chapter 1
Un año antes
Kassio observó el pétreo rostro de su padre, casi parecía que solo estaba durmiendo. La última vez que lo había visto, antes de viajar a Londres hace casi una semana, él se veía bastante bien, quizás no como el hombre fuerte y lleno de vitalidad que había sido alguna vez, pero tampoco notó en él ninguna evidencia de que fuera a morir pronto. Y, aun así, allí estaba, recostado dentro de su ataúd.
—Mis condolencias, hijo —le dijo uno de los amigos de su padre parpándose junto a él—. Tu padre fue un hombre ejemplar y todos lo extrañaremos. Él estaba muy orgulloso de ti.
Kassio lo sabía, aunque su padre nunca se lo había dicho. Su relación no era lo que se llamaría cercana. Maxim Volkov había tenido un orden de prioridades en la vida y el trabajo siempre había estado en la cima de la lista, mientras que criar a su hijo estaba casi al final. Pero no fue un mal padre. Se aseguró de darle la mejor educación posible, cubrir sus necesidades y nunca lo había maltratado.
Iba a extrañarlo.
—Gracias por venir —dijo antes de alejarse con Domenico, su mejor amigo, siguiéndolo de cerca.
Varios de los socios y amigos de su padre se acercaron a él para darle su pésame. Kassio soportó la siguiente hora con una expresión inalterable.
—Creo que esos han sido todos —comentó Domenico.
Vagó su mirada por el salón y casi hizo una mueca al ver que su madrastra fijaba su atención en él. La vio disculparse con los que estaba hablando y caminar en su dirección. Había estado evitándola desde que llegó, pero al parecer no podía seguir escapando de ella.
—Señora —saludó Domenico, inclinando la cabeza levemente hacia Nastia—. Volveré en un rato —le dijo a él y se alejó.
—Pensé que no llegarías, pero me alego de que lo lograras. El abogado de tu padre quiere reunirse con nosotros después del entierro para leernos el testamento de tu padre.
Una sonrisa irónica apareció en su rostro.
—¿Tan pronto?
—No tiene sentido esperar —dijo su madrastra con suavidad. Era tan buena fingiendo—. Además, es mejor ahora que estás aquí. Siempre estás de viaje.
—Trabajando. Algo que debe ser extraño para ti. —Colocó las manos en los bolsillos de su pantalón y se alejó en dirección a la puerta. Necesitaba algo de aire fresco.
—¿Escapando? —Domenico lo alcanzó cuando estaba llegando a la puerta—. No es que pueda juzgarte. Esa mujer me da escalofríos cada vez que está cerca.
Kassio sonrió levemente. Era reconfortante tener a su amigo a su lado en un día como ese, no es que se lo fuera a confesar.
—Nastia me acaba de informar que hoy leerán la herencia de mi padre.
—Vaya, eso es pronto.
—Tengo un mal presentimiento sobre eso.
Los dos se quedaron silencio allí hasta que alguien se acercó a informarle que había llegado la hora de empezar con la ceremonia de despedida.
Un par de horas después, Kassio entró a la casa de su infancia. Hace tiempo que no vivía allí y solo la visitaba una vez al mes para comer son la familia. Ahora, con su padre muerto, no tenía planes de regresar más.
—¡Hermanito! —Maxim, su hermano, nombrado así en honor a su padre, estaba de pie en las escaleras El niño de oro tenía la apariencia de haberse pasado la noche bebiendo.
—Maxim.
—Veo que sigues siendo tan reservado como siempre.
—No te vi en el entierro.
—Estaba un poco ocupado, pero llegué justo a tiempo para despedir a papá.
—¿Natasha? —preguntó mirando a su madrastra, parada detrás de Maxim.
—Está en su habitación, esta no es una reunión a la que deba asistir.
—Señores —saludó el abogado.
Su madrastra los condujo a todos hasta la sala y se acomodó en el sofá largo. Maxim se sentó a lado de ella y el abogado en el sillón. Kassio se quedó de pie en un rincón, con la espalda apoyada en la pared y los brazos cruzados sobre el pecho. El abogado le lanzó una mirada como si esperara que se uniera a ellos, pero debió deducir que no lo haría, ya que al final solo sacó los papeles de su maletín y empezó a leer el testamento.
—El señor Volkov dejó sus acciones, esta casa y otras propiedades que se mencionan a continuación a su esposa, la señora Nastia Volkova.
La decisión de su padre lo tomó por sorpresa. Era demasiado sospechoso que su padre hubiera decidido dejarle la totalidad de sus acciones a Nastia y por consiguiente a Maxim. El muchacho, a sus veinte cuatro años, era un especialista despilfarrar dinero más que en ganarlo y si su madre lo ponía al mando de la empresa, destruiría el legado de su padre tan rápido que nadie podría hacer nada para frenar la caída.
Miró su madrastra con curiosidad. Nastia estaba llorando sujetando un pañuelo cerca de sus ojos. La esposa abnegada. A su lado Maxim tenía una sonrisa comemierda mientras lo miraba como si acabara de ganar alguna especie de competencia.
Había algo raro e iba a descubrirlo.
—A mi hijo mayor le dejó la propiedad en las islas y … —Kassio dejó de escuchar la lectura mientras pensaba en lo que venía a continuación. Su padre lo había entrenado para ocupar su lugar cuando se retirara, pero con su madrastra en posesión de la mayoría de las acciones, eso ya no parecía una posibilidad.
Tenía un plan de respaldo. No se llegaba a los treinta y un años con la reputación que había conseguido si no estabas preparado para cualquier percance. Sin embargo, no podía permitir que Nastia y su hijo destruyeran la empresa que su padre había llevado al éxito con tanto esfuerzo.
—Eso es todo —dijo el abogado.
Enderezó la espalda y se dirigió hacia la salida.
—Kassio, espera —lo detuvo su madrastra cuando casi había llegado a la puerta principal. Él se detuvo y se dio la vuelta.
—Convocaré a una reunión de la junta para nombrar al nuevo CEO. Quiero que ocupes el cargo.
Inclinó la cabeza hacia un lado intentando descifrar lo que su madrastra estaba tramando.
—Por supuesto —continuó ella—, tendrás que hacer todo lo que te diga.

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.

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.

Goddess Of The Underworld.
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.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha
William—my devastatingly handsome, wealthy werewolf fiancé destined to become Delta—was supposed to be mine forever. After five years together, I was ready to walk down the aisle and claim my happily ever after.
Instead, I found him with her. And their son.
Betrayed, jobless, and drowning in my father's medical bills, I hit rock bottom harder than I ever imagined possible. Just when I thought I'd lost everything, salvation came in the form of the most dangerous man I'd ever encountered.
Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
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."
Danielle Harris is the daughter of an overprotective police chief and has led a sheltered life. As a kindergarten teacher, she's as far removed from the world of Harleys and bikers as you could get, but when she's rescued by the sexy and dangerous Austin Carver, her life is changed forever.

Will Booker be able to find the source of the threat before it's too late?
Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
My Marked Luna
"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.
"Hmm," But suddenly, they are gone. I cry as he leaves my body aching for him. He switches our position within a second, so I'm under him. My breath is shallow, and my senses are incoherent as I anticipate his hardness in me. The feeling is fantastic.
"Please," I beg. I want him. I need it so badly.
"So, how would you like to come, baby?" he whispers.
Oh, goddess!
