Introduction
Dou de ombros, incapaz de conter um sorriso. "Tente e veja."
Então ele tenta. Owen se inclina e me beija, e fico surpresa com a rapidez com que o fogo percorre meu corpo. Eu não percebi o quanto estava esperando por isso, mas assim que seus lábios tocam os meus, eu o beijo de volta e enlaço um braço ao redor de seu corpo para segurá-lo mais perto.
Quando a camisa dele está fora, não consigo evitar passar os dedos pelo seu peito e abdômen, traçando as linhas de seus músculos antes de deixar minha mão deslizar mais para baixo. Com um sorriso maroto, acaricio-o por cima do jeans—e Owen rosna novamente, me empurrando de costas e segurando minhas mãos contra a cama...
*Como novo Alfa da Matilha, Owen apareceu em nossa pequena vila, certamente com a personalidade dominadora e irritante para combinar.
No entanto, ele ignora um detalhe importante, que é que, para metamorfos como ele, a bruxaria e as energias mágicas prevalentes na área representam uma ameaça.
Desde que o conheci, meu corpo começou a experimentar coisas estranhas... Será que ele pode desbloquear o meu verdadeiro eu?*

Chapter 1
Asya
Você sabe qual é a minha maneira favorita de acordar?
É quando meu cachorro empurra seu focinho molhado no meu ombro e me cutuca para fora do sono, abanando o rabo assim que eu abro os olhos. É infinitamente melhor do que o toque do despertador me arrastando para a manhã. Talvez porque isso signifique que hoje eu não tenho que acordar para um turno matinal.
"Vai embora," murmuro do travesseiro e aceno com a mão para o farejar persistente do Teddy. Mas nós dois sabemos que eu não estou falando sério, e em um minuto ele já está subindo na cama comigo, pisando nas minhas pernas.
Bom dia para mim.
Por alguns minutos, faço o meu melhor para voltar a dormir, mas com um spaniel rude, roncando e muito fofo debaixo dos meus joelhos, é muito difícil (embora não impossível, eu já verifiquei). Então, no final, eu desisto e me viro de costas, empurrando o Teddy para fora do seu sono e recebendo um olhar muito desaprovador no processo.
"O quê?"
Eu aperto os lábios para ele, e por um momento nós apenas nos encaramos até que Teddy desiste e se arrasta mais perto da minha mão. Ok, ok. Quão cruel seria não dar a ele uma sessão de carinho matinal? Eu dou risada quando Teddy se vira de barriga para cima e graciosamente me dá acesso à sua barriga. Mas se ele quer sair para passear, é hora de levantar e brilhar, então eu me espreguiço na cama e me levanto.
Quando eu troco para meu conjunto de corrida e saio do meu quarto, Teddy já está me esperando na base da escada, olhando para a porta como se me lembrasse de me apressar. Ainda não vi a vovó, então acho que ela já está lá fora — e assim que abro a porta, vejo suas costas. Ela está agachada perto de seus preciosos arbustos de camélia, verificando o solo ou cantando serenatas para eles, quem sabe? Nunca fui tão obcecada por jardinagem quanto ela.
"Bom dia, vó," chamo para ela, parando no meio do caminho para me alongar enquanto Teddy corre em círculos ao redor dos canteiros de flores queridos da vovó. Ela lança um olhar para ele — ela o ama, de verdade, é só que eles têm uma guerra silenciosa pelo jardim — antes de olhar para mim.
"Bom dia. Ah, Asya, não está muito frio para esses shorts?"
Eu dou a ela um olhar desapontado. "É junho." E, caso ela não tenha notado, aponto para o sol brilhante da manhã bem acima de Raywald. Há nuvens correndo sobre as montanhas, mas elas não tornam o dia mais frio.
"Tudo bem, não me olhe assim." Vovó ignora, acenando com a mão e apertando os lábios, e eu dou risada. Ela tenta fazer parecer que não foi ela quem começou. "Você vai trabalhar?"
"Sim, às cinco," grito, já a caminho dos portões, e a vovó acena com a cabeça e se vira para seus sacos de fertilizantes. Teddy fareja ao redor dela com o rabo abanando, mas eu o chamo, e juntos corremos para o nosso caminho na floresta.
As árvores estão de um verde brilhante e quente, o farfalhar das folhas mal é ouvido acima das vozes dos pássaros, e a vida parece pacífica aqui. A linha de árvores das florestas montanhosas é tão próxima de Raywald que metade das casas aqui tem seus quintais enterrados na mata. Essa é uma das coisas que eu amo sobre minha cidade natal, para ser honesta. Todos os dias, eu acordo com a vista das Montanhas Fox e Rabbit se erguendo acima de Raywald, suas encostas cobertas pelas florestas que eu costumava explorar quando era criança. Você não verá nada parecido em nenhum outro estado ou grande cidade — e eu aprendi isso na prática.
Meus pais deixaram Raywald há quase oito anos, quando eu tinha dezessete, sonhando com uma nova vida sem o tédio lento e quieto de uma cidade pequena. Eles me levaram com eles para Kansas City, Missouri, e eu não protestei — se não fosse apenas pelo meu espírito rebelde — esperando ver e experimentar as verdadeiras cores da vida. Você pode imaginar o quão decepcionada eu fiquei?
O que posso dizer, a vida na cidade grande é uma droga. Pelo menos, é para mim.
Mamãe e papai ainda estão lá, então acho que funcionou melhor para eles. Mas eu não consegui me acostumar com as ruas barulhentas e as multidões agitadas de Kansas City. Percebi que preferia Raywald bem rápido, mas obviamente não era um motivo bom o suficiente para meus pais arrumarem suas coisas e voltarem. Eles achavam que eu mudaria de ideia — e eu mudei algumas vezes, me encantando com os lados bons da vida na cidade. Mas no final, nada poderia substituir as panquecas da vovó, os rostos familiares e a paz de espírito que eu só encontrava em Raywald.
Sim, depois de cinco anos em Kansas City e dois anos de faculdade, peguei o Teddy Bear e voltei para casa.
As ruas de Raywald, nossa casa de dois andares e, claro, a vovó me receberam com a mesma atmosfera acolhedora e calor de lar que eu lembrava. A vovó não precisa de muita ajuda — ela está tão forte e saudável como sempre, a menos que esteja chovendo — então eu peguei um emprego de garçonete na lanchonete local. Till Dawn pode não ser o destino dos sonhos para todo viajante, mas é agradável, assim como tudo por aqui.
Já se passaram três anos desde então, e eu realmente não tenho do que reclamar. Gosto do meu trabalho, gosto de morar com a vovó, e sinto que estou no lugar certo. Mas às vezes... bem, às vezes, não posso deixar de me sentir um pouco solitária aqui. Não me entenda mal, eu tenho minha melhor amiga Rorie, a vovó, e o Teddy, e conheço metade das pessoas de Raywald pelo nome, então não é que eu não tenha com quem conversar. Mas você sabe como é. Às vezes, só conversar não é o suficiente.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.

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.

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.
