Chapter 1
POV de Elona
Os raios dourados do sol da tarde filtravam-se pelas altas árvores que ladeavam a rua enquanto eu caminhava pelo caminho familiar até a casa de Crislynn. Crislynn tem sido minha melhor amiga desde que tínhamos seis anos. Moramos na mesma rua, e eles foram muito acolhedores quando meu pai e eu nos mudamos para cá naquela época. Era um bairro luxuoso, mas as fachadas reluzentes das mansões não eram nada comparadas aos sonhos que fervilhavam dentro de nós. Com o coração acelerado, aproximei-me da casa familiar com sua arquitetura elegante e jardim bem cuidado. Levantei a mão para bater na porta, borboletas dançando no meu estômago.
A porta se abriu revelando Crislynn, seu cabelo ruivo caindo em ondas sobre os ombros. Seus olhos verdes brilhantes tinham um toque de travessura enquanto ela sorria para mim. "Elona, você está na hora certa. Entre!"
Nos acomodamos na cozinha. Sentei-me no banquinho do balcão da cozinha enquanto Crislynn nos servia suco de uva. Estamos no último ano do ensino médio. Ainda vamos embarcar em um novo capítulo de nossas vidas no próximo ano. "Meu pai saiu para algumas reuniões, então eu estava entediada," disse enquanto ela colocava o suco na minha frente. Meu pai trabalha com imóveis, mas sempre sou grata pelo tempo que ele ainda dedica a mim. Temos uma ótima relação de pai e filha que eu não quero nunca quebrar.
"Eu estava pesquisando sobre faculdades para frequentar," ela disse enquanto colocava o suco de volta na geladeira e depois se virava para mim. "É muito difícil escolher para qual faculdade se inscrever. Jornalismo é meu sonho, e eu não quero deixar meu pai aqui. Eu me preocupo com ele," disse com um toque de preocupação.
Eu senti pena dela, ela também era muito próxima do pai. Quando me mudei para cá, tive o privilégio de conhecer sua mãe, Estelle. Crislynn se parecia com a mãe, mas tinha os olhos verdes floresta do pai. Sua mãe faleceu há três anos, e tem sido difícil para os dois. Minha mãe faleceu quando eu tinha cinco anos e, neste momento, eu não queria nem pensar nisso porque eu deveria estar animando minha melhor amiga.
"Tenho certeza de que ele gostaria que você vivesse sua vida e se divertisse." Sorri fracamente para ela.
"Você viu como ele se enterra no trabalho e eu sugeriria que ele começasse a namorar novamente, mas duvido muito que ele o faça," ela soltou um suspiro pesado.
"É uma escolha dele, afinal," tomei um gole do meu suco. Tenho que admitir que tenho uma pequena queda pelo Sr. Crane, mas não o suficiente para realmente querer algo com ele.
"Acho que você tem razão," ela disse.
"Tenho pensado em algo que talvez eu possa seguir como escolha de carreira," disse enquanto mantinha minha mão no copo.
"Por favor, conte!" ela sempre estava tão ansiosa para saber.
Sorri nervosamente. "Bem, tenho pensado muito sobre meu futuro ultimamente. Quero seguir uma carreira de modelo."
Os olhos de Crislynn se arregalaram, uma mistura de surpresa e empolgação. "Uau, Elona!" ela ficou surpresa. "Você tem a aparência e a confiança para isso, sem dúvida. Mas você ainda é tímida de certa forma."
Não pude evitar corar com suas palavras. "Obrigada, Crislynn. É que eu tenho pesquisado agências e conversado com pessoas, e realmente acredito que posso conseguir. Nunca saberei se não tentar e talvez essa timidez desapareça. Ainda estou pensando nisso, mas por enquanto, por favor, não conte a ninguém até que eu tenha decidido e falado com meu pai sobre isso."
O sorriso de Crislynn se alargou. "Eu prometo, não vou contar a ninguém. Não tenho dúvidas de que você será ótima, Elona. E você terá meu apoio em cada passo do caminho."
"Isso significa muito e você sabe que farei o mesmo por você," sorri.
"Claro. Agora, só falta convencer meu pai a voltar a namorar," ela disse. Ouvimos a porta da frente abrir e fechar, e eu sabia quem era. Meu coração disparou no peito com essa súbita sensação de nervosismo e excitação.
De repente, fiquei tensa quando ouvi a voz do Sr. Crane atrás de mim, "Boa tarde, meninas," ele disse, e Crislynn sorriu para ele por cima do meu ombro.
"Oi, pai. Você chegou bem cedo," ela disse. O Sr. Crane apareceu ao meu lado enquanto eu o vislumbrava. O Sr. Crane era inegavelmente atraente, com traços marcantes e um carisma que parecia irradiar sem esforço. Era como se ele estivesse acostumado aos holofotes, mesmo dentro de sua própria casa.
"Como você está, Elona?" Ele olhou para mim com aqueles olhos verdes floresta que às vezes me assombram nos sonhos. Limpei a garganta.
"Estou bem, Sr. Crane." Sorri e olhei para o meu suco. Sentia o calor subindo para minhas bochechas. Nunca me senti assim nesse nível antes.
"Que bom saber," ele respondeu, e sua voz era muito aveludada. "Você tem pesquisado para qual faculdade quer se inscrever?" ele perguntou a Crislynn enquanto ia até o armário e alcançava o topo para pegar um copo. Notei seus músculos definidos através do terno preto Armani de três peças. Isso não ajudou em nada.
"Sim, tenho olhado, mas também temos dever de casa. Temos um ensaio para escrever. Tudo bem se a Elona ficar para o jantar? O pai dela está em reuniões e é uma noite de sexta-feira. Posso pedir pizza para nós," ela disse.
Quando meus olhos encontraram o Sr. Crane novamente, ele estava bebendo água do copo enquanto me observava atentamente até parar de beber. "Por mim, tudo bem, enquanto isso, tenho algum trabalho para colocar em dia no escritório," ele disse enquanto se virava e colocava o copo vazio na pia e se afastava.
Meu coração disparou, e pela primeira vez, eu realmente o vi, não apenas como o pai de Crislynn, mas como um homem. E quando seus olhos encontraram os meus por um breve momento, percebi com um choque que minha pequena queda por ele era muito mais do que isso.

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 mafia princess return
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“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.
Well, here goes everything.
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.
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.
