Introduction
"Como foi ordenado," ele responde.
"Então, por que não me matou?" eu exijo, minha voz falhando, lágrimas escorrendo pelo meu rosto.
"Porque você era o preço," ele responde friamente.
Eu fui um preço para o assassino da Bratva, ele foi enviado para matar meu pai e me sequestrou no processo.
O que me assusta é que meu coração deve ter encontrado seu lugar amando esse vilão.
O que acontece quando ele é sequestrado e eu tenho que encontrar uma maneira de tirá-lo daquele inferno de cela?

Chapter 1
DANILL
O Pakhan sentado à minha frente levanta uma sobrancelha, seu olhar fixo em mim, aguardando minha resposta. Ele murmura um palavrão e pega seu copo de vodka, tomando um longo gole. Seus lábios se apertam em uma linha fina enquanto continua a me encarar.
Provavelmente está furioso com a quantia de dinheiro que estou pedindo, mas não me importo nem um pouco. Ele quer um trabalho feito, feito do jeito dele e feito direito. E ele sabe melhor do que ninguém o custo de fazer um trabalho da maneira certa.
"Entendo que você só responde a um Pakhan, e mesmo assim, sua lealdade é exclusivamente com a Bratva. Mas você deve me oferecer um acordo," ele diz.
"Devo mesmo?" Eu me recosto na cadeira e pergunto.
Estamos em um restaurante, o único lugar onde os negócios podem ser discutidos abertamente. O Pozhaluysta é o local designado para tais assuntos. A maioria dos homens sentados ao redor das mesas, murmurando entre si, são membros da Bratva envolvidos em várias negociações.
Embora possamos vir de diferentes partes da cidade, sob diferentes Pakhans e envolvidos em diferentes empreendimentos, todos somos Bratva. Este é um refúgio seguro onde podemos discutir confortavelmente a vida, os trabalhos ou qualquer outra coisa.
E é exatamente por isso que Fyodor me chamou aqui para almoçar.
Ele quer que eu elimine alguém.
Não qualquer um.
Não apenas um inimigo ou um associado de negócios. Ele quer que eu elimine alguém cujo desaparecimento chamaria atenção. É por isso que não posso aceitar nada menos do que o que mereço por uma tarefa tão significativa. Ele espera que eu faça parecer nada mais do que um suicídio.
"O que eu ganho com isso?" pergunto.
"Além do dinheiro?" ele retruca, levantando uma sobrancelha enquanto se recosta com sua vodka na mão.
"Sim, além do dinheiro. Veja, estou colocando minha vida em risco, não você. Simplificando, dinheiro não é suficiente."
Ele murmura em resposta. "Você disse que não haveria desconto, nenhum acordo para o trabalho. Então, você receberá dinheiro. Nada mais."
Balançando a cabeça uma vez, eu limpo a garganta. "Para recrutar os homens que precisarei para essa tarefa, terei que chamar favores ou adquirir novos. Isso me coloca em uma posição onde estarei utilizando meus recursos pessoais. Quero garantir que serei devidamente compensado."
"Belsky," ele adverte, usando meu sobrenome como se eu fosse uma criança.
Eu mantenho seu olhar, inflexível. Fyodor Davydov não me intimida. Nada nesse homem me intimida. Ele pode ser um Pakhan, mas não é meu Pakhan. Ele pode exercer poder, mas eu também. Estamos em um terreno quase igual, e embora eu o respeite, não preciso baixar a cabeça para ele.
"Davydov?" Eu respondo, usando o sobrenome dele também.
Ele me observa, seus olhos nunca deixando os meus, e então suspira. Reconheço isso como um sinal de rendição. Ele se inclina para frente, coloca sua vodka na mesa e levanta as mãos em resignação. A bandeira branca foi levantada. Um pequeno sorriso se forma em meus lábios enquanto espero ele continuar, porque sei que ele tem algo a oferecer.
"Tudo bem," ele cospe. "O que você quer?"
Levantando minhas mãos até o rosto, junto os dedos na frente da boca e do queixo. Sento-me de frente para ele, estudando-o atentamente, esperando que ele sugira algo que possa despertar meu interesse. Não tenho pedidos específicos, pois não estou certo dos termos.
Então, espero.
Desejo algo mais intrigante do que mero dinheiro.
Então, mantenho minha posição.
Então, vejo seus olhos se arregalarem, e seus lábios se esticarem em um largo sorriso.
"Acho que posso ter algo que você acharia intrigante. É algo que eu não sugeriria a mais ninguém."
"Eu posso lidar com isso," respondo com um sorriso. Um desafio soa divertido para mim.
Mal sei eu que minha vida está prestes a dar uma guinada dramática.
Isso é apenas o começo.
HOLLAND
Meu pai me encara do outro lado da mesa enquanto jantamos. Mal estou comendo, e estar aqui parece obrigatório. Eu preferiria estar fazendo compras, dançando ou tomando um drink. Qualquer coisa, menos sentar de frente para ele, fingindo ser civilizada.
"Você vai à festa de fim de ano. É vestido preto, como sempre."
Quase reviro os olhos. Todo ano, meu pai organiza uma festa de fim de ano pretensiosa, e todo ano, ele me obriga a comparecer. Não porque eu queira, não porque ele realmente queira minha presença, mas porque ele quer exibir nossa suposta família perfeita para o mundo.
Na minha chamada família, as aparências importam, nada mais... bem, exceto pelo dinheiro.
Até minha mãe voa de Paris para o evento, fingindo ser a esposa perfeita para os paparazzi e a elite de Los Angeles. Eu não poderia me importar menos.
Eu preferiria ficar longe de toda essa confusão, relaxando em casa de pijama com uma garrafa de vinho. Mas ele mantém meu presente de Natal como refém se eu não aparecer. E eu amo presentes de Natal. Ele também ameaça não pagar meu aluguel do ano se eu recusar.
"Você sabe que eu estarei lá," murmuro.
"Gostaria que você ficasse o fim de semana inteiro," ele acrescenta. "Por quê?" pergunto imediatamente.
Meu coração dispara em pânico ao pensar em passar o fim de semana inteiro com ele e minha mãe. Nós não nos damos bem. Eles não se dão bem. Quando estamos todos juntos, a toxicidade é tão palpável que me surpreende não brilharmos com a atmosfera.
Ele nunca quer que eu fique para nada. Normalmente, eu vou embora na noite da festa, ocasionalmente dormindo no quarto de cima. Mas na maioria das vezes, quero escapar daquele ambiente o mais rápido possível.
Então, por que, este ano, ele está pedindo para eu ficar? Deve haver uma razão. Deve haver algo em jogo.
Nunca confiei no meu pai, nunca, e não vou começar agora.
Ele é famoso, arrogante e acredita que é intocável. Ele se vê como algum tipo de deus, e eu não tenho paciência para suas besteiras.
Nunca.

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.

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.

In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?
From substitute to queen—her revenge has just begun!
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
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.

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.

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.
