Chapter: Book 1: PrologueIt was a bright and sunny day, and if there was one person who appreciated it even more than anyone else, it was Helen Knight. No matter how little time she had spent in jail for a crime she had actually committed, the resentment in her was still just as fresh as the day she had been arrested.It had no

Chapter: Bonus Chapter TwoIt had been two weeks since Gail had suddenly appeared in our lives. By our lives, I meant, my life, Cory's life and the pack members' lives! She had made her presence known like any other Luna would've; going about introducing herself to all the members of the pack, smiling and playing with the kids, socialising with the teenagers and the adults around her age, and reassuring everyone else.Everybody loved her. Everybody. Except me of course, with obvious reaso

Chapter: Bonus ChapterThis is another book. I'll upload three chapters and you let me know if I should continue***I stood in the midst of everybody else, watching the Alpha speak. I smiled as I looked at him. He was muscular, not too much, but was just brawny enough. His red hair shone and even though I couldn't see his eyes from where I stood, I knew those blue orbs of wonder to perfection.I smiled again. I wondered what he had to say that necessitated a pack meeting. Until I

Chapter: EpilogueJax stared at Reine with a fascinated look on his face. There was no more pretending that he was not completely obsessed with this woman. And the more the days went, the more he felt like she was made for him. It was a few weeks after their truce and after a dinner home, they had ended up in the bedroom. Reine was standing naked in front of him and he had apologized beforehand because he didn’t think there was going to be anything gentle about the sex they were about to have. Jax placed his cold fingers on Reine’s aching nipples. Reine gasped and looked up at him. "Jax?" she let out breathlessly. "Shhh," Jax said, then bent his dark head and slipped one nipple into his mouth. Reine arched her back involuntarily and clutched at Jax so she wouldn't stumble and fall.

Chapter: Chapter Twenty-OneJaxI stared at the expectant look on Reine’s face. I didn’t know what exactly she was expecting me to say but I knew she thought it was nothing good. For what seemed like the thousandth time, I wondered who exactly had hurt her to the point where she didn’t trust anybody at all. I stared at her in silence for a while, marveling at her beauty.I couldn’t even deny it at this point. I had feelings for this woman, no matter how much I had tried to turn them off. I hated the fact that she was keeping secrets from me and I had wanted to punish her for it by being distant.I didn’t know how to even start asking all the questions I had. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. There was a clearly questioning look on her face, and I knew she expected me to speak.

Chapter: Chapter TwentyI almost couldn’t believe my ears. After I had spoken out for him, defended him, even though my heart had been racing, he was treating me so coldly. I was beginning to hate the fact that I had growing feelings for this man. I was a little numb. Rejection had never had me feeling this way. If anything, before I had been used to it so it was never something that I particularly dreaded. But with how Jax’s tone switched when we got into his office, I wondered just how much I had attached myself to him, how much importance I had given him. Because the way my heart had shattered in that moment was not healthy. I was definitely going to cry tonight. I had pushed the tears away enough. It wasn’t even healthy at this point. Honestly, I couldn’t explain why exactly I was so hurt by Jax’s rejection if anyone asked. It wasn’

Chapter: Chapter NineteenJaxI stared at Reine as she stood next to my desk, my mind racing. I didn’t know what to make of her demands of the previous day. Of course, it was part of the contract that she got whatever sum of money she asked for, so long as it was a reasonable sum.For some reason I couldn’t explain though, yesterday had put things into perspective. No matter how great the relationship between us was, it was still business. She and I were using each other to attain our objectives.I had no idea what she needed the money to do and after the previous night, I had almost given in to the temptation of calling Dylan and getting him to send over what he had found on her. But I had told Reine I wouldn’t pry into her life and I was going to respect that promise.She looke

Chapter: Chapter EighteenThe next morning was terrible. Sandra had come to check on me and I had muttered something to get her to leave. I wanted to be alone. I had sent the money to my dad as soon as Jax had sent it and there hadn’t been as much as a thank you.I had called him and he had confirmed that he received it.Jax on the other hand, I had texted him and told him I had received the money, with a thank you attached to the text. I don’t know what I expected after his sudden change of attitude but it was not for him to ignore my message so blatantly. I felt so embarrassed.But I asked myself why exactly he had kissed me.I had to admit that my mind had gone to the kiss more times than I wanted to process. It had been very short, with minimal contact. Just his lips and the tip o

Chapter: Chapter SeventeenReineI stared at Jax then looked away. I didn’t know how exactly I was going to tell him I needed money. I had thought about it a thousand times and still no damned idea. The best thing was to just ask directly. If the esteem he had for me, if he ever had any at all, dropped, I was going to have to accept it. Just like I had accepted every other terrible thing that had happened to me.“Jax…” I started.He furrowed his brows and leaned towards me. There was worry written all over his face and I felt it was genuine.“What’s wrong? Talk to me,” he said.I resisted the urge to let out a bitter chuckle. In that moment, I could not explain how much I hated my father. I had never imagined t

Chapter: Teaser"Your mate? You found your mate?" Dimitri asked with wonder in his voice.Finally.He was going to stop suffering. He was going to stop denying himself the one thing or person he needed the most, stop denying himself happiness. He was finally free."You've found your mate," Dimitri said again then he closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair."She's sick, Dimitri," the voice on the other side of the line said, "She's dying."Dimitri sat upright suddenly. She was dying. Did that mean that all his sacrifices were for nothing? That he had been just one big fool?She was dying...

Chapter: Chapter FiveDimitri’s POV Willow left. But not before I saw the stubborn tears that had finally escaped. I sighed and closed my eyes. I hated what I was becoming. I hated how callous and unfeeling I was being. I hated that I had to hurt my own mate because of some stupid rule that my ancestors had created. I sighed and closed my eyes, so weak all of a sudden. All of this was aping all of my energy. Resisting Willow… fighting my body’s urge to mate with her. I was fighting against every instinct that had been keeping me alive for this long. I was going against my wolf. He didn’t care that I was doing all of what I was for the greater good of everyone. All he wanted was his mate. And I was the one thing standing between him and her. I went behind my desk and sat. When Willow had barged into my office, I had been tempted to go to her and just take her sweet scent in and fuck the consequences. I wanted to hold her. I scoffed bitterly. I had never held my mat

Chapter: Chapter FourI had been sitting in my car for twenty minutes.My hands were shaking so much that even opening the car door to get in and find refuge had been a huge struggle. My heart was beating so fast. The events were a blur. In fact, me standing up and hightailing the fuck out of that place was so blurry. I had acted on pure instinct when I woke up and ran out of the house. I didn’t even think I had locked Dimitri’s front door.But if I was being honest, that was the last thing on my mind. He had all the top security in the world. He was going to be fine. The person who wasn’t going to be fine here was me. I was still traumatized and I knew it was more likely that I would call an Uber because my hands were still shaking so badly.Calling an Uber would imply that I would have to come back here and with how my heart jumped at that thought, I knew that was not a possibility. I kept on looking up scared that the wolf (or whatever that creature was) was goin

Chapter: Chapter ThreeThree days later.The atmosphere with my boss had been weird for the past three days. He would not look me in my eyes and it had been a while since I had heard him scream my name. It was weird. I mean, I was glad that he wasn’t being as overbearing anymore. But for some reason, I knew that it was not going to last long.And I was right.The following week, Dimitri Rustanov was back to his default settings. The asshole tendencies, the screaming, the making me feel like I needed to quit this job but it was my entire livelihood. I closed my eyes as he called me into his office, dreading whatever he was going to say.I stood from my desk and walked in, making sure to keep my pace normal because I knew he was

Chapter: Chapter Two6 am.I was standing in my boss’s office, shivering a little. It was one of those overly chilly fall mornings and it didn’t help that my boss had cranked up the AC to the coldest. If that wasn’t confirmation that this man was weird, I didn’t know what was.I stared at him as he worked, ignoring my presence. Why did he command me to come to his office at 6 am when he was just going to keep me standing and staring at him while he did whatever he was doing on his computer?As if he had read my thoughts, Dimitri looked up at me. Staring into this man’s eyes was always a heady experience for me. No matter how he treated me, I couldn’t deny that he had a weird appeal. I fought the urge to look away as he scrutinized me. He stared at

Chapter: Chapter One“Willow!”I shook as I heard my name being shouted. Of course it was my boss. Of course the intercom was right there, but the odious man chose to scream like we were in some kind of medieval horror movie. I sighed and walked to his office, making sure to make my expression neutral.I had been working here for five months and I was contemplating leaving… The pay was extremely good, but from the first day this man hired me, he had been nothing but a dickhead to me. I was sincerely tired and I didn’t know how much longer I was going to cope in this aggressive environment.“You called, sir?” I said, with the most professional tone I could muster.“What the hell is t
