Ele me provoca com um dedo na entrada.
Não quero brincar agora. Estou prestes a gozar.

Quando você ama alguém, tem que deixá-lo livre e, se for para ser, ele deve voltar, certo? Mas e se você amar duas pessoas? Não apenas duas pessoas quaisquer... Irmãos gêmeos! E um deles é seu chefe?
Cassie sabia que isso não ia acabar bem, mas qual seria o pior que poderia acontecer?

Chapter 1
Ela sabia que havia algo extremamente errado quando ouviu o barulho vindo do andar de baixo naquela noite, mas não conseguia identificar exatamente o que era. Cassie sabia que sua única esperança seria chamar alguém, qualquer pessoa, mas lembrou que estava completamente sozinha. Estar sozinha era a pior sensação do mundo. "Gritar para o andar de baixo deve ser a coisa mais ridícula que eu poderia pensar", sussurrou para si mesma enquanto se esgueirava pela enorme casa vazia, procurando a origem do barulho em vez de fugir para salvar sua vida.
Cassie estava cuidando da casa de sua melhor amiga extremamente rica, Alexis Winters. Alexis tinha viajado para ver seus pais durante as férias de inverno. Cassie contou a Alexis seus planos para o feriado, como estava contente em ficar sozinha em seu apartamento, fazer mais horas de estágio no trabalho (não que ela precisasse), colocar a leitura em dia e talvez até adiantar a leitura do próximo semestre. (Sim, Cassie era esse tipo de garota), aluna nota A, oradora da turma, votada como a mais provável a ter sucesso no anuário do colégio. Ah, se eles a vissem agora, encolhida em uma mansão enorme e vazia com um chinelo na mão para se proteger, procurando um barulho no escuro, HA! Ela era a protagonista típica de todo filme de terror...
"Por que eu concordei com isso?" perguntou a si mesma. "Eu não poderia simplesmente ter dito não quando Alexis me pediu, poderia? Agora, estou sozinha nesta casa assustadora seguindo um barulho estranho, me perguntando de onde diabos ele vem". Cassie já tinha esgotado todas as opções procurando por esse barulho misterioso quando, de repente, 'BANG', do nada, o lixo caiu no chão. Ela olhou ao redor para ver o que poderia ter causado a queda, espiou dentro e viu o gato de Alexis, Tabitha, saindo correndo. "Coisa estúpida", gritou enquanto levantava o lixo.
Correndo de volta para o quarto onde estava dormindo, "Eu deveria ter aceitado a oferta de Jericho e feito mais estágio na editora, estúpida, estúpida Cassie". Ela chegou ao quarto e fechou a porta com um estrondo, ainda xingando o gato Tabitha baixinho, quando percebeu que seu telefone estava iluminado. Isso só poderia significar uma de duas coisas: 1. Alexis estava ligando pela milésima vez para verificar se ela estava bem e não muito assustada por estar sozinha naquela casa gigantesca e glamourosa, ou 2. Era Jericho perguntando quando ela iria estar disponível para revisar os manuscritos com ele. Ela podia ouvi-lo agora, "A propósito, Srta. Knox, é seu trabalho como minha estagiária estar aqui, independentemente de planos ou promessas a outras pessoas". A segunda frase favorita de Jericho para Cassie sempre foi "Você sabe quantas pessoas matariam por uma oportunidade como a que você tem agora?". Era sempre o trabalho de Jericho fazer Cassie sentir que estava na área errada de especialização.
Ela corre rapidamente em direção ao telefone, como se fosse Jericho. Ela não tinha ideia de quanto tempo ele havia enviado a mensagem, e certamente não queria deixar sua majestade esperando por uma resposta. Felizmente, era apenas Alexis. Ela havia enviado quatro mensagens para Cassie desde o momento em que ela começou a seguir o barulho, que pertencia ao gato monstruoso de Alexis, até agora. Cassie respondeu com uma mensagem simples, mas direta: "Tudo bem aqui, e a família?" Esperava que isso fizesse Alexis perceber que Cassie estava, de fato, viva e respirando, e talvez até recuasse um pouco, mas todos sabiam que isso nunca iria acontecer. Então, ela se jogou na cama mais confortável em que já havia dormido, com os lençóis de maior contagem de fios que ela já conhecera, e esperou que o sono a dominasse, o que aconteceu em poucos momentos.
Ok, então deixe-me me apresentar antes de começar minha história. Meu nome é Cassandra Amelia Knox, Cassie para os íntimos, se não se importar. Tenho 19 anos e sou estudante de Literatura Inglesa em Berkeley. Faço estágio em uma das editoras mais prestigiadas do mundo, que é propriedade do homem mais rico do nosso século, e meu chefe, o maior babaca de todos. Jericho Théodore Dean. Minha melhor amiga se chama Alexis Winters, ela é rica, tipo ridiculamente rica, tipo mistura de Daddy Warbucks com as Kardashians rica. Espera! Acho que ela conhece as Kardashians; vou ter que verificar isso. Enfim, perdi o fio da meada, ela é rica. Ela está se formando em Estudos de Gênero, não que ela precise trabalhar. Acho que todo mundo precisa de um hobby, certo? E claro, dinheiro para financiar esse hobby, senão, como ela teria entrado em Berkeley em primeiro lugar? Não, não estou falando mal dela pelas costas! Ela deixa todo mundo saber que não estaria aqui se não fosse por seu papai rico, claro, fazendo uma ligação para o reitor sobre sua querida filha. Sim, você adivinhou, o pai de Alexis é um ex-aluno de Berkeley. O que significa que ele coloca dinheiro na escola. Ah, e mencionei que ele também tem um assento no conselho de diretores? 'Ding Ding, Ding'. Você acertou de novo, a Princesinha do Papai não teve que fazer nada além de aparecer no primeiro dia, incrível, eu sei. Não me entenda mal, Alexis é inteligente. 'Não conte a ela que eu disse isso, ela me mataria'.
Eu queria que fosse tão fácil para mim. Tive que tirar todas as notas A e acima em todas as matérias no meu último ano e, além disso, tive que manter uma média de 3.0 ou mais para Berkeley sequer me considerar. Depois de todo esse estresse, ainda tive que descobrir como iria pagar meus três anos aqui. Não podia contar com bolsas de estudo para cobrir tudo, então acabei trabalhando em três empregos sem futuro como garçonete só para conseguir o suficiente para o meu primeiro ano. Então, adicione isso ao fato de estudar o tempo todo, você provavelmente pode imaginar como foi meu último ano, "Chatoooo." Nada de festas de fim de ano para mim. Não, senhor, mas eu não trocaria isso pelo lugar onde estou agora. Eu amo estar aqui. Toda a experiência universitária mudou minha visão da vida, e agora não parece tão sombria. Bem, ok, se você quiser adicionar a carga de trabalho, o cronograma de aulas, então sim, de uma perspectiva externa, pode parecer assim. "Por que você se incomodaria?", é isso que você está pensando, certo? Mas para mim, isso é tudo o que eu sempre quis, e trabalhei muito para chegar aqui. Enfim, isso é o suficiente sobre mim e minha história chata de como cheguei aqui. Ah, sobre Alexis também. Que tal eu avançar na minha história sórdida e voltar para a história? Você provavelmente está morrendo de vontade de saber o que vai acontecer? Eu sei que estou.

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."

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

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."
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.
