Introduction
He was sat beside her in nothing but a pair of loose shorts, that left nothing whatsoever to the imagination, and now Sammy was nervous, he was so close, and he smelled surprisingly good.
His stare was intense as he looked into her blue eyes. She was clearly annoyed and uncomfortable, and he feared he may be the cause. But, even so he couldn't walk away.
This beautiful woman was his mate, and he had to fix this, because her current opinion of him, was killing him.
****The Blue Valley Pack, came close to being discovered late one October evening. They were practicing for a haunted house. Ever since, they found people ask less questions if they know a little, and they find that little out, under the pack's control. So, every Halloween since, they open the doors to their pack house and orchestrated a show.
It all went fantastically for six years, until, the beta's mate walked in.... She's human.
Sammy is a sweetheart, she works as a vetinary ranger at a wildlife sanctuary. She rarely goes or sees anyone outside of work, preferring her quiet life.
Then her work mate's buy her a ticket to go with them to see the most amazing haunted house ever.
Her life was much less quiet after that...

Chapter 1
The wet grass had completely soaked through Sammy's work trousers now, leaving her cold and uncomfortable as she walked away from the wolf enclosure, towards the offices.
The Fall air was decidedly cooler now, and as it was the end of the day, she breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of a long hot shower, and relaxing evening of nothing.
She was just, scribbling down her medication notes in the calendar, when Susan, her boss and close friend walked into the office
"Girl, you look like a drowned rat," she laughed.
"I feel like a drowned rat," Sammy laughed back. "I've given the pack their wormer today, but with the severity of the outbreak, we should probably give them another dose in a fortnight." She filled Susan in. "And now, I'm off for a hot shower."
"That's great, but you better make sure it's a quick one," Susan smiled, calculating.
Sammy stiffened, "Why?"
"Because, you are coming with Tom and I to the haunted house," she concluded, "And, no, you have bailed on us for the past two years, so we bought you a ticket. This time you're coming. No excuses." Then she added wickedly, "Or I'm putting you to clean out the skunks till Christmas."
Sammy's face widened in alarm, "Alright, alright. I'm coming. Jeeze, no need to go homicidal on me." She laughed, while grabbing her car keys, "What time, and send me the directions, I'll meet you there."
Susan jumped with excitement, "Consider it done, Sugar."
A few hours later, Sammy was driving up through a long and very dark alley of trees. Giant pine trees loomed up and over the road, if it weren't for her head lights she would have been in complete darkness, all the light from the moon hidden from view.
It was another fifteen minutes before she felt like she was back in the land of the living. She had reached Armitage, the local town from which the the Animal Sanctuary she worked in, got most of its supplies.
It was a town that Sammy herself was moving to next week, and she couldn't wait to get out of the trailer she had spent the past two years in, on site at the Wildlife Sanctuary she worked in.
Yes, she would still be required to stay there for the occasional night shift if an animal was sick, but to have actual permanent walls around her and decent plumbing and heating, that would indeed be a luxury that couldn't come quick enough.
The street lights in this part of town however, seemed to be dimming, the closer she got to the end of Susan's directions. Until she pulled up into a darkened driveway, of a gigantic mansion.
Spotting Susan's lone truck, she pulled her small car up beside it, and jumped out.
But without the headlights, the only light available was a single dull porch lamp, badly illuminating a whole four metres around itself.
Grabbing her cell she first went to look for her torch application.
"Aaarrghhh!" Came a thunderous roar, as two large hands dropped onto her shoulders.
Before she could stop herself, Sammy grunted, spun around and punched her assailant in their ghoulish mask.
"AOW, you fucker! Christ Sammy, over react much?" Came the softly lilting Irish accent.
"Tom?" Sammy began to smirk, "What on earth did you think you were doing?"
Susan suddenly started guffawing, behind her truck.
"That was priceless!" She spluttered between laughs.
"That's the last time I give in to your ideas, Sue!" Tom complained, "Fuck, if it weren't for the mask you'd have broken my nose."
"Sorry, Tom," Sammy smiled, "I guess you shouldn't sneak up on women then."
"Yeah, whatever. Just remember, this is meant to be fun and at no point should you be punching the actors," Tom grumbled, throwing his mask into the back of the truck.
"I'll do my best," she laughed back, linking arms with Susan as they headed towards the dull light.
"Where exactly is everyone?" Sammy asked, feeling apprehensive.
"Oh, it's just us." Tom replied.
"What?" Sammy replied, confused.
"They only allow one group at a time, enhances the experience and allows them to reset the illusions. Now come on." Susan stated, pulling Sammy up the small steps to the doorway.
Sammy felt her nerves were on fire with apprehension, and she definitely couldn't shake the feeling she was being watched. Pulling her red hood closer up about herself, she swallowed her nerves and watched as Susan pushes the door open with an audible creak.
A wolf howl sounds somewhere close by, as the door slammed closed behind them.
While the howl didn't startle Sammy, the loud unexpected bang did.
The strange house was pitch black, and deathly quiet.
"Now what?" Sammy whispered apprehensively..
"Now, we wait..." Susan's voice returned, ending in a scream.
"OOOMPH," came Tom's exhale of breath.
"Guys? Guys?" Sammy called, but her friends were gone, she was alone.
Her heart rate picked up, as the sound of scratching, reached her ears. It was coming from above her. Sammy's spine started to tingle with awareness as she backed towards the door, straining her eyes in an attempt to make out anything around her.
She was closer to the door than she first thought, but it was warm, and breathing?
Before she could react, two arms encircled around her and the scratching sound stopped.
"You're mine, Little Red," came a growl beside her ear.
Despite her bravado by the car, she froze. The arms about her were like steel, and the breath on her neck was sending a quiver of fear throughout her body.
Suddenly, she was hoisted up and blindfolded.
"GET OFF ME," she screamed, causing the man to laugh.
"A pretty little thing like you?" He challenged her, "Not a chance in hell."

funny at first. last chapters not so. not believable as Sammy is only half werewolf. she is not stronger than Shane or Henry as to aura or wit. her anger towards Henry is baseless, the latter did not do anything bad to her.

This seems like a really good story, my only qualm would be that it’s ongoing and I do not know how often it is being updated and if it’s gonna be a 500 chapter story, but other than that it has peaked my interest, I have added it to my library. #whatsapp

I love that I could see into the characters mindset and read exactly what they were feeling when they thought out situations. Her thoughts flowed well and moved the book along very quickly; Sammy is serious at times, but also very witty, which makes for an engaging read. #whatsapp

Invisible To Her Bully
Crossing Lines
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

A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.

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.

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.

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 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.
