Introduction

Han drog mig framför sig, och jag kÀnde mig som om jag stod inför Satan sjÀlv. Han lutade sig nÀrmare mig, hans ansikte var sÄ nÀra mitt att om jag rörde mig skulle vi stöta ihop med huvudet. Jag svalde hÄrt och tittade pÄ honom med stora ögon, rÀdd för vad han kunde göra.

"Vi ska ha ett litet samtal snart, okej?" Jag kunde inte prata, jag bara stirrade pÄ honom med vidöppna ögon medan mitt hjÀrta slog som galet. Jag kunde bara hoppas att det inte var mig han var ute efter.

Althaia möter den farliga maffiabossen Damiano, som dras till hennes stora oskyldiga gröna ögon och inte kan fĂ„ henne ur sitt sinne. Althaia hade hĂ„llits gömd frĂ„n den farliga djĂ€vulen. ÄndĂ„ förde ödet honom till henne. Den hĂ€r gĂ„ngen kommer han aldrig att lĂ„ta henne lĂ€mna igen.

Chapter 1

Althaia

Jag stod i mitt hotellrum och gjorde mig redo för min kusins förlovningsfest. Jag har alltid stÄtt Cara nÀra eftersom vi i princip vÀxte upp tillsammans i samma hushÄll dÄ vÄra pappor drev ett företag ihop. Kort sagt, jag fick reda pÄ att min far och farbror drev en maffia, och eftersom de alltid var upptagna med vad de nu Àn gjorde, tillbringade Cara mestadels tiden med mig och min mamma. TyvÀrr dog Caras mamma nÀr vi var barn och min mamma uppfostrade Cara som om hon vore hennes egen dotter. Annars var vi en ganska lycklig familj.

Eller sÄ trodde jag.

Det finns saker man bara inte mÀrker nÀr man Àr barn, för varför skulle man nÀr man Àr för upptagen med att vara barn, eller hur? Min far, Gaetano, var alltid en upptagen man men han kom ihÄg att spendera tid med mig dÄ och dÄ, inte sÄ ofta som jag hade velat, men det var bÀttre Àn inget.

En dag var Cara och jag nyfikna som alltid och försökte tjuvlyssna pÄ mina förÀldrar eftersom det lÀt som om de brÄkade. Vi hade smugit ner för trappan för att fÄ en bÀttre blick och höra vad som pÄgick men vi kunde inte höra nÄgot.

Det som hÀnde sedan chockade oss bÄda.

Min mamma, Jacinta, gav min pappa en örfil den kvÀllen. Vi stod stilla, chockade över att bevittna vad som just hÀnt innan vi sprang tillbaka till vÄrt delade rum och lÄtsades sova för att inte bli upptÀckta.

NÀsta dag hade min mamma packat vÄra vÀskor och vi lÀmnade. Jag minns att jag grÀt sÄ mycket den dagen eftersom Cara inte följde med oss, min mamma försökte ta henne med oss, men farbror vÀgrade lÄta henne gÄ. Det smÀrtade min mamma att lÀmna Cara bakom sig pÄ det sÀttet och jag var sÀker pÄ att hon hade sina skÀl att lÀmna, men orsaken till det Àr fortfarande okÀnd. Min far och jag höll inte kontakten efter det Àven om jag försökte ringa honom eftersom jag saknade honom, men han ringde mig aldrig.

Vi flyttade flera timmar bort frÄn vÄrt gamla hem och jag trÀffade Cara nÀr det var möjligt, men det blev svÄrare för henne att lÀmna huset ju Àldre hon blev eftersom hennes far blev strÀng som fan. Han blev en förÀlder frÄn helvetet. Han var alltid pÄverkad av alkohol och droger, en mycket farlig blandning som gjorde honom galen och han slog Cara nÀr han var sÄn.

Att sÀga att jag var nervös att vara runt dem alla för första gÄngen pÄ evigheter var en underdrift. Jag visste inte vad jag skulle förvÀnta mig och tÀnkte stÀndigt pÄ om min far skulle vara glad att se mig efter sÄ lÄng tid.

"...KrÀks inte." sa jag till mig sjÀlv nÀr jag tog ett djupt andetag eftersom jag kÀnde mig illamÄende, sÀrskilt nu nÀr jag var helt uppklÀdd.

Jag bestÀmde mig för att ha pÄ mig en lÄng svart rygglös sidenklÀnning med tunna band, framsidan hade en djup V-ringning som visade en hel del av min urringning. KlÀnningen var tight upptill och blev lite lösare frÄn höfterna med en lÄng slits pÄ höger sida som stannade mitt pÄ lÄret. Jag avslutade looken med ett par svarta stilettos med öppen tÄ och remmar runt ankeln.

Jag tog en sista titt i spegeln, och jag var nöjd med det arbete jag hade gjort. Mitt lÄnga vÄgiga och tunga bruna hÄr nÄdde slutet av min rygg, och pÄ höger sida hade jag satt en hÄrklÀmma med strassblad för att lyfta bort lite av hÄret frÄn ansiktet. Jag gjorde en enkel brun sotig ögonskugga som kompletterade mina gröna ögon vÀl och formade dem för att bli mer kattliknande.

"LÄt oss gÄ." suckade jag för mig sjÀlv nÀr jag var klar och begav mig ner till lobbyn.

Cara sÄg till att skicka en bil till mitt hotell för att eskortera mig till herrgÄrden. Mitt gamla hem. Mitt hjÀrta började slÄ lite snabbare vid tanken pÄ att vara dÀr igen efter sÄ lÄng tid, och se om det hade förÀndrats mycket genom Ären. Min pappa skaffade sig en ny fru inte lÀnge efter att vi lÀmnade, och har till och med en son. Inte biologiskt eftersom det var frÄn hans frus tidigare Àktenskap, men han behandlade honom som sin egen. Jag skulle ljuga om jag sa att det inte störde mig enormt eftersom han behandlade nÄgon annan mer som sin egen Àn mig.

Cara hade genast skvallrat om det och sagt att min pappa verkligen hade nedgraderat. Hon sa att jag skulle förstÄ vad hon menade nÀr jag kom dit, och jag var redo att ge onda ögat till vem Àn min pappa hade gift sig med.

I hissfÀrden ner till lobbyn kÀnde jag mig mer nervös och mina hÀnder fipplade runt den lilla presentasken jag hade med mig. Det kÀndes som om min mage var i tusen knutar, vilket gav mig magont.

"SkÀrp dig, Althaia. Vad Àr det vÀrsta som kan hÀnda? Det Àr bara familj." Jag andades ut och försökte lugna mina nerver.

NĂ€r jag nĂ„dde lobbyn öppnades hissdörrarna, och jag tog ett sista djupt andetag, hĂ„llande den lilla förlovningspresenten i mina hĂ€nder. Det var inget storslaget, bara tvĂ„ champagneglas med texten 'Mr. Right' med en mustasch, och den andra 'Mrs. Always Right' med röda kysslĂ€ppar. Det fick mig genast att tĂ€nka pĂ„ Cara eftersom hon alltid trodde att hon hade rĂ€tt. Även i situationer dĂ€r hon inte hade det, hade hon det Ă€ndĂ„ enligt sig sjĂ€lv. Hon Ă€r lite kaxig ibland.

NÀr jag nÀrmade mig mitten av lobbyn stannade jag mitt i steget nÀr jag fick syn pÄ den lÄnga blonda mannen i en grÄ kostym som satt perfekt pÄ hans kropp.

"Michael?!" sa jag chockat. Han vÀnde sig om och log mot mig nÀr han fick syn pÄ mig.

"Althaia. LÀngesen vi sÄgs." sa han medan han gav mig ett perfekt leende, visande sina perfekt vita tÀnder. Det har gÄtt sÄ lÄng tid sedan jag senast sÄg honom, min första förÀlskelse nÄgonsin. JÀklar, nu minns jag varför jag var besatt av honom. Han hade de vackraste blÄ ögon jag nÄgonsin sett, en skarp kÀklinje och ett rent rakat ansikte. Hans smutsblonda hÄr var stylat till perfektion, vilket gav det 'jag brydde mig inte om att försöka'-utseendet, vilket bara gjorde honom hundra gÄnger sexigare.

Vi dejtade faktiskt nÀr vi var yngre. Han visste bara inte om det.

Jag stirrade bara pÄ honom, min mun var lite öppen eftersom jag inte kunde tro mina egna ögon.

"JÀklar, Althaia, ta en bild om du bara ska stirra pÄ mig sÄ dÀr." Han skrattade, och jag kÀnde genast vÀrmen sprida sig över mina kinder. JÀklar, han har fortfarande den effekten pÄ mig.

"Flirta inte för mycket med dig sjÀlv, Michael. Jag blev bara överraskad att se dig hÀr." Jag skrattade, hoppandes att han inte mÀrkte mina rodnande kinder.

"Ja, jag rÄkade höra Cara sÀga att du skulle komma, och att hon skulle skicka nÄgon för att hÀmta dig. Jag kunde inte tro att den Althaia skulle komma, sÄ jag sa att jag skulle komma och hÀmta dig." Han log och stoppade hÀnderna i fickorna pÄ sina byxor. Hans ögon skannade lÄngsamt frÄn mina ögon och ner över min kropp, och sedan upp igen för att möta mina ögon, vilket gav mig ett slött leende i processen.

"Kan inte sÀga att jag Ängrar beslutet. Du ser lika fantastisk ut som alltid, Althaia." Hans vackra blÄ ögon blev en nyans mörkare nÀr han drack in mig med blicken. Mitt hjÀrta slog lite snabbare av sÀttet han tittade pÄ mig.

"Och du ser lika stilig ut som alltid, Michael." sa jag med ett leende nÀr han lÄngsamt gick upp till mig med ett sexigt flin pÄ sitt ansikte.

Oj, det hÀr skulle bli en lÄng natt.

until four alpha wolves with playboy reputations and inconveniently soft hands decide the girl who won’t bow is the only queen they’ll ever take. Their mate. The one they have waited for. Xavier, Haiden, Levi, and Noah are gorgeous, lethal, and anything but perfect and Envy isn’t either. She’s changing. First into hell hound, Layah at her heels and fire in her veins. Then into what the realm has been waiting for, a Goddess of the Underworld, dragging her mates down to hell with her. Then finally into lycan princess, stronger, faster, the moon finally answering back, giving her exactly what she needs to protect her family.

When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armor, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a reverse harem, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.

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.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
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.

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
