Chapter 1
Erika P.O.V
"Senhora, está na hora," minha secretária me informa e eu olho para o relógio de parede no meu escritório, nossa! Já são quase 21h. O tempo passa mais rápido quando você ama o que faz. É um grande hobby meu esquecer onde estou quando estou imersa no meu trabalho. Nunca fui tão abençoada por trabalhar em um lugar onde posso utilizar meu tempo completamente sem nenhuma interferência. Eu amo meu trabalho e, acima de tudo, amo como ele faz o tempo passar mais rápido, assim não preciso pensar na casa vazia ou na minha existência vazia.
Sorrio para Sarah. "Você pode ir, eu tranco tudo quando terminar." Sorrio para ela e ela me dá um olhar preocupado, eu conheço esse olhar. Ela tem me dado esse olhar há quase quatro anos. Ela acha que vou me matar de tanto trabalhar, ou pelo menos pensa que sou uma workaholic, o que pode ser verdade às vezes. Eu realmente trabalho muito mais do que as pessoas ao meu redor. Eu costumo me perder quando me sento nesta cadeira e trabalho no meu computador.
Sarah está na casa dos quarenta, com cabelo loiro, olhos azuis e um sorriso amigável sempre estampado no rosto, talvez não agora, mas ele está sempre lá. Eu a conheci há alguns anos e agora ela é a pessoa que me conhece mais do que eu mesma. Ela é como uma irmã que às vezes eu gostaria de ter. Uma irmã carinhosa.
Sorrio para ela novamente. "Vou sair em 10 minutos, eu prometo." Ela sorri de volta, ainda preocupada, mas vai embora mesmo assim. Suspiro e volto ao meu trabalho. É difícil, trabalhar para uma empresa de TI também como gerente geral, mas trabalhei duro para essa posição e vale a pena. Nunca duvidei de mim mesma quando se trata das minhas escolhas de carreira. É a única coisa que me mantém sã.
Eu arrumo tudo em 10 minutos, como prometido, e tranco minha sala. Caminho pelo corredor até o elevador e aperto o botão para o estacionamento. Caminho até meu Aston Martin preto e dirijo até minha casa ou NOSSA casa. Suspiro e estaciono na nossa garagem, mas a encontro vazia. Não é surpresa que eu esteja sozinha em casa mais uma vez e sei que tem sido assim há quatro anos, mas ainda dói. No começo não doía, mas agora dói. As pessoas sempre me disseram que casar com a pessoa errada terminaria em desastre, mas ninguém nunca me disse o que ou como lidar com um casamento onde não há amor. Eu gostaria que alguém me dissesse como devo reagir nessas circunstâncias. Um casamento sem amor e uma vida sem significado são duas coisas muito sem sentido neste mundo.
Pegando minha bolsa do carro, eu saio. Pressiono meu dedo indicador no scanner e abro a porta. Ser uma pessoa de TI tem suas vantagens, instalei toda a tecnologia de ponta na minha casa. Todos deveriam investir em segurança como essa, não só beneficia sua pessoa, mas também ajuda a entender como é importante cuidar das pessoas ao nosso redor.
Entro na casa de dois andares, completamente silenciosa. Não tenho empregadas porque raramente estamos em casa. Troco para shorts de algodão confortáveis e uma das camisas de Dimitri e vou para a cozinha fazer meu jantar ou pelo menos preparar algo comestível para a noite.
Quem é Dimitri, você pergunta?
Dimitri é meu marido, meu legítimo esposo há quase quatro anos e meio. Nos casamos sob circunstâncias diferentes e agora todos esses motivos não importam mais. Não importa, porque isso vai acabar muito em breve.
Olho para minha bolsa e dou uma longa olhada triste e saudosa. Eu não queria que terminasse assim, mas é assim que deve ser. Já se passaram quase cinco anos e nosso tempo acabou. Tudo tem uma data de validade, isso se aplica aos relacionamentos também. Terminar as coisas no momento certo é sempre benéfico para ambas as partes, mas não sei por que dói tanto. Dói de uma maneira que não consigo explicar.
Balanço a cabeça para afastar esses pensamentos e me concentro em fazer o jantar. Continuo a cortar, ferver e fritar legumes e frango até que estejam cozidos. Janto em silêncio e coloco a louça suja na lava-louças. Estalando um pouco o pescoço rígido, volto para o meu quarto para um sono muito necessário. É o maior cômodo da casa, com um banheiro anexo, um closet, penteadeira, sofá duplo, mesa de centro e uma cama de casal com lindos criados-mudos. A única coisa que falta na casa perfeita, no quarto perfeito, é a pessoa com quem eu deveria compartilhá-lo.
Eu deveria me sentir ótima com todo esse luxo, mas não me sinto, nem um pouco. Não importa quanto isso custe, mas dinheiro sozinho nunca é suficiente. Não doeria tanto se fosse só eu, mas ser casada e estar sozinha é meio triste e deprimente. Sei que não tenho o direito de reclamar, já que concordei com isso, mas não importa quantas vezes eu me console, simplesmente não consigo me livrar desses sentimentos.
Como esperado, o sono não veio facilmente, não importa o quanto eu tente apenas apagar. Eu simplesmente não consigo. Continuo olhando para o relógio no criado-mudo e ele marca 2:30 da manhã.
Ele ainda não está em casa.
Ele deveria estar aqui, ele nem está em outro país como costuma estar. Ele estava em casa, mas ainda não está aqui. Isso sempre me faz pensar na primeira vez que fiz isso, esperando por ele, quero dizer. Sempre vai parecer assim.
Às vezes me pergunto por que concordei com uma coisa dessas, mas então penso na minha adorável família. Os rostos sorridentes deles me fazem esquecer que vivo assim. Vale a pena, porém, o pacto com o diabo, vale a pena.
Mas eu gostaria de ter me mantido fiel ao contrato como ele fez, não me apaixonar pelo seu charme, não pensar em seu paradeiro, não esperar por ele na mesa de jantar, não me sentir tão estúpida por me sentir assim. Às vezes me amaldiçoo por sentir isso, e o que mais odeio em mim mesma é que me apaixonei por ele.
Talvez seja a ideia dele, ou o fato de que, não importa o quão rude ou cruel ele seja comigo, compartilhamos a mesma razão para nosso casamento.
Ele fez isso pela família dele e eu fiz pela minha, mas a diferença é que deixei minhas emoções se envolverem e isso é algo que ele não deixou acontecer. Ele permaneceu fiel ao contrato e eu me sinto uma idiota por não ter feito o mesmo.

“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.

From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

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.

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.
