Chapter 1

ليلة واحدة فقط

وجهة نظر ألكسندر

كان الهواء باردًا بشكل لاذع الليلة، وكان مزاجي سيئًا بما يكفي ليطابقه. هبت رياح عاتية عبثت بشعري، فتنهدت بامتعاض وأنا أمرر يدي خلاله قبل أن أمد يدي إلى جيبي الأمامي وأخرج سيجارتي. "لا، ألكسندر، ليس لدينا وقت لذلك. نحن متأخرون بالفعل! لقد فاتنا نصف العرض اللعين"، قبل أن أتمكن من إشعال السيجارة، دفعني شريكي في العمل، نيكولاي، على كتفي واستمر في المشي نحو المسرح.

يا إلهي، كنت أريد فقط سيجارة. لعنت في داخلي قبل أن أتبع نيكولاي.

"إذا فاتنا هذا الباليه السخيف، فقد نفقد فرصة الحصول على دعم العمدة ونحن بحاجة إليه للتوسع"، توقف نيكولاي عن الحديث عندما وصلت إلى جانبه ومد ذراعه للإمساك بمرفقي. "ألا تريد أن ترى التوسع ينجح، أليس كذلك؟"، سأل.

"يا لها من سؤال غبي. بالطبع أريد"، أجبت بحدة، وأنا أزيح ذراعه. "لا تلمسني. لو لم تكن عمي، لكنت ضربتك على ذلك"، تابعت بغضب. ضحك نيكولاي وفرك بطنه. "لا تتحدث معي بهذه الطريقة، يا فتى. أنا الذي أدخلك إلى هذه الشركة، تذكر؟"، ضيق عينيه نحوي.

"مهما يكن"، واصلت المشي. كانت حذائي الإيطالي الجلدي ينقر على الرصيف ونحن نسير بجانب النافورة أمام المبنى. تجاهلت نيكولاي، وأخرجت سيجارة لأخذ بضع سحبات قبل أن نتسلل إلى مقدمة المسرح. الاجتماع مع العمدة للتنافس على قطعة أرض لتوسيع أعمالنا ضد منافسنا كان يرهق أعصابي. نفثت الدخان ونحن ندخل من باب ونسير عبر السحب.

العمدة كان مجرد رجل مشغول في بدلة، لكنه كان منافسنا... ذكي جدًا بما فيه الكفاية لمصلحته. كنا بحاجة للحصول على موافقة العمدة الليلة بينما هو في هذا الباليه. قبل أن يتمكن أي شخص آخر من ذلك. كانت هذه فرصتنا ولهذا السبب أراد عمي نيكولاي أن نلتقي به.

الأضواء الساطعة أضاءت فوقنا من خلال الجدار الزجاجي الذي يشكل واجهة مسرح ديفيد كوش. كانت تلك الأضواء ساطعة للغاية، وكل شيء كان شاحبًا، كل سطح بدا وكأنه يتلألأ بالذهب. جعلني ذلك أتدحرج بعيني، كنت أكره مثل هذه الأماكن. "يجب أن يذهبوا إلى الاستراحة الأولى في أي لحظة الآن. يجب أن نتمكن من اللحاق بالعمدة هنا ونتظاهر بأننا كنا هنا طوال الوقت"، فرك نيكولاي يده على جبهته، مما أبرز التجاعيد التي تحيط بعينيه.

كان بإمكان نيكولاي وأنا سماع الموسيقى تتلاشى من القاعة حيث انتهى الباليه للاستراحة الأولى. حتى مع تلاشي الضوضاء، لم يتوقف رأسي عن النبض، فركت صدغي وتأوهت. بصراحة، لم أكن أحب مثل هذه الأماكن. "هل أنت بخير هناك، يا فتى؟" كان نيكولاي مركزًا على المهمة الموكلة إلينا ولكن كان هناك نبرة قلق خفية للعائلة يمكنني التقاطها.

"لقد كانت أسبوعًا طويلًا. أريد فقط مشروبًا وسيجارة"، قلت بحدة. "لقد عملنا على هذا الخطة لفترة طويلة جدًا حتى تنهار الآن. إذا سارت الأمور على ما يرام، سأشتري لك مشروبًا"، ضحك وضربني على ظهري. التفت لأقول شيئًا آخر، لكن باب القاعة فتح واندفع الناس للخروج للاستراحة.

"وفقًا لمعلوماتي، العمدة دائمًا يأخذ كأس ويسكي قبل العودة إلى زوجته. هو لا يحب الباليه أكثر منك، لكن زوجته تتحكم فيه"، هز نيكولاي رأسه بأسف كما لو أنه ليس في نفس الموقف مع عمتي. "إذن دعنا نجد الرجل ونحضر له ويسكي، أريد واحدًا أيضًا"، قلت بتنهد في النهاية.

"لا مشروبات لك بعد. أحتاجك واعيًا وعلى أهبة الاستعداد لهذه الصفقة"، أدار نيكولاي رأسه وحينها من طولي فوقه استطعت رؤية البقعة الصلعاء التي بدأت تظهر في مؤخرة رأسه. "أعتقد أنني أراه على يسارك. لنذهب"، دفعت كتفه ثم توجهت مباشرة نحو العمدة. الرجل كان نحيفًا يرتدي بدلة، وقد أمضى على الأقل خمسة عقود من حياته تسببت في شيب شعره وتجاعيد وجهه. ضغط إدارة نيويورك كان يثقل عليه ويشد جسده بشكل دائم إلى كرة من التوتر. كان كأس الويسكي في يده قد شرب نصفه بالفعل.

"سعادة العمدة، من الجميل أن نلتقي هنا!"، فاجأ نيكولاي الرجل العجوز وأغرقه في القصة الخيالية لعرض عملنا. وقفت جانبًا أقدم مدخلاتي عند الحاجة، لكن في الغالب كنت أستمع بينما كان عمي يقنع العمدة.

لم يمض وقت طويل حتى بدأت الحشود تتناقص وعادوا إلى الداخل لمتابعة الفصل الثاني من الباليه. التقيت أعين عدة نساء يرتدين فساتين لامعة مبالغ فيها على ذراع بعض الرجال المسنين المتجعدين. حتى أن واحدة منهن تجرأت على أن تومئ لي عندما كان رفيقها في المساء يدير ظهره.

ابتسمت بتهكم وأومأت لها. كنت بحاجة إلى مشروب وامرأة في سريري. وبسرعة.

"واو، هذا عرض كبير. أود أن أسمع المزيد عن هذا، لكن حان الوقت للعودة إلى العرض"، بدا الرجل العجوز مترددًا في الدخول. نيكولاي كان دائمًا محترفًا في جذب انتباهه.

"نحن أيضًا سندخل. أنا وابن أخي نحب الباليه!"، أشار نيكولاي برأسه لي لأتبعه وابتسمت للعمدة ابتسامة عريضة متكلفة. بدأ الرجلان في السير إلى الداخل واستمروا في الحديث حتى وصلنا تحت الأضواء الخافتة في القاعة.

"زوجتي وأنا لدينا بعض المقاعد الخاصة. لماذا لا تأتي أنت وابن أخيك للجلوس معنا ونواصل هذه المحادثة بسرية؟"، انحنى العمدة ليهمس.

"سيكون شرفًا لنا!"، رد نيكولاي. لم أستطع منع نفسي من تدحرج عيني بسبب حماسه المزيف. وضعت يدي في جيبي وتبعتهم. كانت هذه الليلة ستكون طويلة حقًا.

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates

Ongoing · Jaylee
Soft hot lips find the shell of my ear and he whispers, "You think I don't want you?" He pushes his hips forward, grinding into the back of my ass and I groan. "Really?" He chuckles.

"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."

I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.

Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.

"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

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.

“Take off your dress, Meadow.”

“Why?”

“Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.”

••••••••••••*
Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance.

One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring.

Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel.
He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch.

Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed.
She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge.
But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming.

Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything.
