Introduction
이제 셀린 대신 디미트리는 셀린의 오빠인 로난과 결혼해야 한다. 로난은 알파 늑대인간으로서 강하고 지배적이며 자신의 무리를 강하게 보호하는 성격을 지녔다. 두 남자 모두 서로에게 굴복할 생각이 없다. 둘 다 자신의 무리를 지휘하는 데 익숙하고 자신만의 방식으로 살아왔기에, 그들을 기다리고 있는 강렬한 감정적, 신체적 싸움에 준비되지 않았다.
필요에 의해 태어난 이 결혼은 단지 서약만으로는 충분하지 않다. 고대의 계약은 그들이 결합을 유효하게 하기 위해 결혼을 완성해야 하며, 그들의 운명을 함께 묶어야 한다고 요구한다. 하지만 두 알파가, 둘 다 자존심이 강한 그들이 원하지 않는 결속을 강요받는다면 어떻게 될까?
디미트리와 로난이 증오와 원망의 감정과 싸우는 동안, 그들의 경쟁은 복잡한 춤이 된다... 서로 통제권을 쥐기 위해 싸우고, 서로의 취약점을 마주하게 된다. 그러나 그들의 민족의 생존이 그들의 성공에 달려 있는 만큼, 그들은 어려운 질문에 직면해야 한다: 둘 중 어느 한 명이라도 진정으로 다른 사람에게 굴복할 수 있을까, 아니면 그들의 자존심이 모두의 죽음이 될 것인가?

Chapter 1
한국어 번역
로난은 자신의 방에서 왔다갔다 걸었다. 부츠 아래 차가운 돌바닥이 빙빙 도는 그의 마음을 붙잡아주고 있었다. 며칠 동안 그의 뱃속에는 배고픔이나 갈증보다 더 깊이 파고드는 갉아먹는 느낌이 있었다. 설명할 수 없는 무거움, 점점 커지는 무게감이었다. 그리고 지금, 그의 뱃속에는 메스꺼운 느낌과 어지러움, 가슴의 이상한 통증이... 모든 것이 그 안에서 끊임없이 쌓여가고 있었다.
그는 이전에 이런 느낌을 경험한 적이 없었다. 전투에서 몸이 시험받거나 훈련에서 극한으로 밀려났을 때도 이렇지 않았다. 하지만 이것은, 이것은 달랐다. 그의 몸이 그를 배신하고 있었다.
처음에는 열병이라고 생각했다. 아마도 마지막 전투의 독이 그의 피부 아래 남아있는 것일지도 모른다고 여겼다. 또는 이끌어야 한다는 지속적인 압박, 그가 결코 원하지 않았던 왕관을 짊어져야 한다는 압박에서 오는 피로감일 수도 있었다. 하지만 징후들은 이제 더 명확해지고 있었고, 부정할 수 없었다. 그의 체온은 변동이 심했고, 그의 기분은 뚜렷한 이유 없이 격렬하게 오르내렸다. 그리고 나서... 부정할 수 없는 진실이 왔다.
치유사의 편지를 펼치자 그의 숨이 멎었다. 치유사의 조심스러운 필체가 그가 두려워했던 것을 명확히 적고 있었다.
'임신.'
그는 분노가 혈관을 타고 흐르며, 그가 싸워왔던 열병보다 더 뜨겁게 타오르는 것을 느끼며 종이를 구겼다. 이것은 불가능했다. 그럴 수 없었다. 그는 알파였다, 적어도 그가 그렇게 생각했었다. 강하고, 지배적이며, 이끌고 정복하기 위해 태어났다. 번식 용기가 아니었다. 그는 왕자였다... 그의 혈통은 순수했다.
하지만 진실은 그곳에 있었고, 야생 짐승처럼 그를 갉아먹고 있었다. 그 징후들. 그 무게. 어떤 부정도 지울 수 없는 명백한 증상들.
어떻게 이런 일이 일어날 수 있었을까? 그의 마음은 그 밤, 그 저주받은 밤으로 돌아갔다. 그를 삼켜버린 열기. 페로몬... 그의... 공기 중에 퍼져 디미트리를 더 가까이 끌어당겼다. 로난의 심장은 그의 마음이 그 이미지를 그려낼 때 가슴 속에서 쿵쾅거렸다. 뱀파이어의 입이 그의 목에 닿았고, 날카로운 이빨이 민감한 피부를 표시했으며, 그의 몸은... 끊임없었다. 어떻게 그가, 알파가, 그렇게 통제력을 잃을 수 있었을까? 어떻게 디미트리가 그토록 원초적인 방식으로 그에게 끌릴 수 있었을까?
그 밤은 중요하지 않을 예정이었다. 그들의 결혼은 정치적 동맹에 불과했다. 생존의 게임. 그 이상은 아무것도 아니었다.
하지만 디미트리... 디미트리는... 미끼를 물었지, 그렇지 않은가? 뱀파이어는 항상 너무 오만했고, 자신의 힘에 너무 자신감이 넘쳤다. 그 밤에 디미트리가 그를 조종한 것일까? 아니면 로난 자신이었을까, 그의 페로몬이 이 저주받을 실수를 풀어놓은 열쇠 역할을 한 것일까?
로난은 주먹을 꽉 쥐었고, 분노가 다시 타올랐다. 아이. 그럴 가치가 있을까? 이 세상에, 편의를 위한 결합에, 이... 광기 속에 생명을 가져오는 것이 가치 있을까?
그는 이 모든 것이 싫었다. 그는 이 모든 무력함이 싫었다. 그의 몸이 그를 배신했다는 사실, 그가 통제할 수 없는 무언가에 얽매여 있다는 사실, 그의 계획의 일부가 아닌 무언가에 얽매여 있다는 사실이 싫었다.
하지만 무엇보다도, 그는 디미트리... 그 뱀파이어가... 어쩐지 이 모든 것과 연결되어 있다는 사실이 싫었다.
그에게 말하는 것에 대한 생각... 아니, 그는 하지 않을 것이다. 아직은. 그는 할 수 없었다.

“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.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
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.”

A weeklong wedding in New Hope. One mansion full of guests. And a very bitter maid of honor.
To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.

Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
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.
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.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

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."

Will Dani finally give her heart to a man who's everything she's been warned about?
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.
