Chapter 1
Emily
L'aereo atterra ed è finalmente ora di tornare a casa. Avrei dovuto essere a casa entro la fine della settimana, ma le mie riunioni sono state rimandate. Ho deciso di tornare prima e fargli una sorpresa. Sono stata preoccupata perché non ha risposto al telefono, ma potrebbe essere occupato.
Sono entrata in casa che mio marito e io abbiamo comprato insieme sei anni fa. L'emozione che provo è travolgente. Ho preso un po' di tempo libero dal lavoro. Voglio portare mio marito in una seconda luna di miele. Non ci siamo divertiti molto durante la nostra prima luna di miele. Damian si è rotto una gamba il secondo giorno e io ho avuto un'intossicazione alimentare per tutta la settimana. Ho passato la mia luna di miele in ospedale.
Cammino lungo il corridoio e sento dei gemiti provenire dalla nostra stanza. All'inizio ho pensato che Damian fosse in dolore, ma avvicinandomi ho capito che era lo stesso rumore che fa quando facciamo l'amore.
Mi sono appoggiata al muro, sperando che quello che stavo sentendo fosse sbagliato. Mi avvicino il più lentamente possibile, desiderando che tutto questo sia solo un brutto sogno dal quale mi sveglierò da un momento all'altro.
Apro la porta con un colpo. La porta si scheggia e si rompe con la forza con cui colpisce il muro. Damian e la donna urlano spaventati. Il mio sangue si gelò appena vidi chi era la donna, la mia migliore amica. Come ha potuto?
La mia vista si annebbiò di lacrime mentre mi dirigevo fuori dalla casa. Inizio a correre per la strada. Sento Damian chiamarmi in lontananza. Non mi importava più. La pioggia scendeva sul mio viso mescolandosi con le mie lacrime. Riuscivo a malapena a vedere, ma tutto ciò a cui riuscivo a pensare era di andarmene da lì.
Ho continuato a correre per quello che sembrava essere ore. Mi sono fermata solo quando non avevo più energia per andare avanti. Sono inciampata in un vicolo e mi sono seduta. Ho tirato le gambe al petto e ho continuato a singhiozzare.
Non so per quanto tempo sono rimasta lì a sentire il mio cuore spezzarsi ancora e ancora. Questo dolore finirà mai? Sento dei passi avvicinarsi sempre di più. Alzo lo sguardo e vedo un giovane che si avvicina a me. Inizio a pulirmi le lacrime freneticamente, cercando di nasconderle.
"Non preoccuparti per le lacrime. Le ho già viste." Mi ha dato il sorriso più gentile che abbia mai visto. Non mi sono mai sentita così imbarazzata in vita mia. È per questo che sono entrata nel vicolo, per non essere vista da nessuno. Stavo cercando di nascondere il mio dolore a quest'uomo, ma lui poteva vedere attraverso la mia facciata.
"Perché non vieni con me? Fa freddo fuori. Possiamo prendere una tazza di caffè caldo dentro." Quest'uomo gentile mi ha aiutata ad alzarmi e ha messo la sua giacca di pelle sulle mie spalle. È la prima volta che mi sono resa conto di essere uscita di casa senza prendere qualcosa di caldo.
Abbiamo girato l'angolo e ho visto che eravamo al mio bar preferito. Santa Rosa è il tipo di posto che mi ha sempre portato gioia. Non è una sorpresa che, anche quando non sapevo dove stavo andando, sono finita qui.
Siamo entrati e tutti i soliti camerieri erano lì. L'odore del caffè ricco entra nel mio naso e riporta così tanti ricordi. Questo è un posto in cui venivo ogni giorno da quando ho finito la laurea. Era la mia seconda casa. Ho celebrato qui tutti i miei traguardi importanti.
Mi sono seduta al tavolo che era riservato solo per me. Sì, è così che venivo qui. Passo le mani sulla tovaglia rossa. Doveva portarmi conforto, ma in questo momento mi dà solo dolore. Questo è esattamente il posto in cui Damian mi ha chiesto di sposarlo. Dove abbiamo pianificato il nostro matrimonio insieme. Tutto è andato in fumo. Sento di nuovo le lacrime scendere sul mio viso.
"Emily, sei tornata presto." La proprietaria di Santa Rosa mi ha tirata su e mi ha abbracciata. Questo mi ha fatto solo piangere ancora di più. Rose è stata una madre per me da quando i miei genitori sono morti poco prima che finissi l'università. Mi ha spinta un po' indietro e immagino che abbia potuto vedere la tristezza nei miei occhi. Non mi ha dato alcuna pietà, per la quale sono grata. Mi ha spinta di nuovo nel tavolo e si è seduta accanto a me.
Le ho raccontato tutto quello che è successo da quando sono entrata in casa. Abbiamo continuato a parlare finché la mia mente non si è allontanata dal fatto che mio marito mi stava tradendo.
Sono uscita dal bar sentendomi più leggera di prima. L'uomo gentile è scomparso non appena Rose si è seduta.
Fuori pioveva ancora, così mi sono avvicinata al marciapiede per prendere un taxi. Sento una mano sulla mia spalla. Mi giro e vedo Damian dietro di me. La mia rabbia e il mio dolore sono tornati in piena forza.
"Possiamo parlare, per favore? Voglio spiegarti tutto." Damian ha chiesto, sembrando colpevole come il peccato. So che farà solo delle scuse. La più evidente sarà che non gli ho dato abbastanza attenzione. Lo so perché questa è stata l'escusa che ha usato il marito della mia amica.
"Sì Damian, possiamo parlare, ma non voglio parlare delle tue spiegazioni. Niente di quello che dici può migliorare le cose. Parlerò con te solo del divorzio." Mi giro verso il taxi che si è fermato. Salgo senza guardare indietro a Damian.

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.”

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.

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.

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.

Noah
I was here to prove myself—

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
