Shattered Heart: My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back
Talentless and lackluster in academics, Christen McGuire is nothing more than a disappointment in her family’s eyes. As the youngest daughter of McGuire Lighting, she married Forrest Riverdale, billionaire and owner of one of the top corporations in the world, and the only man who accepted her as a person.
Or so she had thought, when upon marrying him, noticed they rarely did anything a normal couple would, and tried to change herself for the better. Thankfully, Forrest never showed any interest in women; it was only a matter of time until she finally wins his heart over. Until one day, she caught sight of him getting along with another woman. Looking content with that person, showing much emotions Christen never knew he could make.
Adding the divorce on top of that? It was a punch in the face for Christen, as she gave in to fate. Tearful and disheartened, she signed the agreement, and left.
***
Elated to be out of the marriage with who may as well be the most useless woman on the planet, words cannot express the joy Forrest felt to be with his true love once more. After he had gotten exiled out of his pack on false accusations, he worked his way up to success in the human world, and became a fitting man and werewolf to be with his mate. And yet, despite finally having it all, something still seemed to be missing in his life.
Coming to realize the one thing that was missing- she who had actually become an important part of his life, more than the mate he thought he loved- Forrest sought to have Christen back. Will the werewolf find the human he pushed away? Will he be able to mend the heart he shattered?

Chapter: For My Family"What do you mean ‘you don’t know what’s wrong with her’?” Fenris demanded the healers, after spending hours watching them do their jobs, constantly checking Christen’s condition and comparing notes with one another, and even overheard them coming up with various theories as to what became of her. Theories shot down but the other healers.“Exactly as we mean it, Alpha. We checked over as many things as we could, and even took blood samples to see if there was anything wrong. Unfortunately, as far as we could tell, there was nothing wrong with her at all,” one of the healers explained.“‘Nothing wrong with her’ would mean that she would have no problem with waking up. Yet, she hasn’t so much as respond to our call to her one bit. You cannot be telling me that this is all nothing,” he demanded. “Check her again. Use every method you can think of to find out what is wrong with her. Try to get her to wake. And if I see so much as a scratch on her, I will hold all of you accountable. Is th

Chapter: Emergency Return HomeFenris ran in the snow in his werewolf form on all fours at full speed like his life depended on it. Desperate to get to his house in the Diamante-Krawler Pack as quickly as he could. Only it was not his life that needed the saving, but Christen’s, who was strapped to his back with the blanket. Body practically limp on him.“You’re going to be just fine, Christen! I promise you, you’re going to be okay!” he shouted to her, not receiving any response from her at all.‘How could this have happened?! Right after I promise her!’ he frantically questioned. That indeed. How could it be possible? He had just woken up from the nap he was having with her, feeling refreshed, and wanted to make some light meal to have with her. By the time he woke, she was still asleep, not that it bothered him. And since her body was warm- a sign that she was still alive- Fenris just thought to let her sleep peacefully a little longer while he was getting lunch ready for them. While her appetite may not drasti

Chapter: Reaching Out to the FutureFenris was shocked enough with everything he had found out that involved Christen. The way she so nonchalantly accused him of being like the other guys who toyed her really took the cake. “I would never play you like they did!” he exclaimed.Christen was unfazed by the shout, though, as she shook her head. “Of course you wouldn’t. You’re not human like my customers are; maybe you have a different preference in games, too. And now that you’re married, maybe this game you’re playing is one that your wife would be okay with. So long as it ends with my blood being spilled or something.”Shell shocked, Fenris did not know what to think or say about this. “How could you have so little view of yourself? Of me?” he could only ask.“Like I said. It wouldn’t matter what I say. Not to anyone else. Only Christian- my own son- cared, but now he’s gone. With a much better family, who would give him more than I ever could.”“You really think I don’t care? When I saved you from death, cared for you,

Chapter: Identity Already RevealedFenris did not know what to think at this point, when he saw Christen crying for her son’s leave. Not out of sadness or desperation for him to come back, but accepting the leave? Accepting that he was happier with another family? But what about him? When he didn’t even know he had a son until now? Not that it was her fault, he supposed…“So… That was our- uh… ‘Your’ son I saw?” he asked.“Yes. And he’s happier with another family,” Christen answered, not daring to look at him, as she only sat on the bed, hugging her legs close to her, with the blanket wrapped around her body.Running a hand across his face in an attempt to calm himself down from this revelation, he asked, “And you know that. How?”“Because I was with him at the time.” The response confused Fenris. She was with Christian when he was with his new family? He had thought that once a child is given to another family, the original would not be allowed to see the kid. Then again, it was not as though she lost custody over hi

Chapter: Revealing the SonFenris was shocked enough when Christen responded to him, then when she wanted him out of her life- when she wanted to have no further involvement in anything at all- but that last one? That one claim she made in her plea? Did he even hear her right?“Baby? What baby?” he asked, kneeling down to her side. As he was about to place a comforting hand on her shoulder, before he could even touch the blanket, Christen toppled over a bit, leaning against the door, with the blanket falling off her body. To his shock, astonishment, bewilderment, and all other words he could think of to describe the sight before him… Her belly was swelling. No, not ‘swelling’. “Pregnant… You were pregnant?” he asked her, looking to his mate and notice how pale she seemed. While he was no doctor, nor did he know much about pregnancy for human females, he could tell that it was not a good sign for the mother. Just as he was about to comfort her, the scene changed again. Not really the scene itself, as it was mo

Chapter: Werewolf SnappedIt took a while for Christen to calm down. Unlike the last time she had a panic attack, she was still awake. Just huddled against the corner with the blanket wrapped tightly around her. Her eyes were red and puffy from the frightful crying, and seemed very distant.Fenris walked to her, a cup of tea in hand. “Here. Something to warm you up,” he offered.Christen did not take the offering, much less acknowledge it. Her mind wondering around to other matters.Fenris did not know what to think or say now, as he licked his dry lips. He sat down by her with a light sigh, and brought his tail to her, hoping she would at least react to it. Even then, there was nothing. Fenris was at a loss. Why was his mate refusing to answer now? Was taking her out really that bad an idea? Then again, she was hesitant on coming out earlier.“Did you have some bad experience being outside? Maybe a kidnapping or something?” he asked. A question that was left unanswered, considering how unresponsive Christen h

Chapter: ReconcilingMaya's POVThe door opened, and Dorothy walked inside, a plate in hand, with a slice of cake resting on it.“Hi,” she greeted a bit nervously. “I brought some cake for you two. Thought you would like something sweet.”Generous as the gesture was, I couldn’t say I was in a mood for cake, nor did I want to be in the same room as her. Not after what she did. Sure, she was probably frightened when she saw the Rogues. Anyone would if they see a group of monsters like them. However, not only did she leave me behind, she led me to those Rogues. And going by Danielle and the others’ reactions, the fact that those guys- banished by their home packs- somehow made their way this deep in Preparatory Pack was unnatural, and thus very suspicious.For all I know, she led me to those wolves, and wanted to leave me there to die.“Not hungry,” Zeke spoke first, making his way to the door. “I’m using the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”At that, he left the room, leaving me with Dorothy. I avoided eye con

Chapter: Chapter 21 Lover’s DisputeMaya’s POV“Maya!” Zephyr cried out, as she and Danielle rushed to my aid. “Oh dear, what happened to you?!”Looking back down at myself, I noticed that I was covered in some dirt, with a few scrapes. No doubt from the fall earlier. I glanced up at Dorothy, noticing how she was avoiding eye contact from me. Looking guilty, if anything.‘Did she regret leaving me behind?’ I wondered. Only, that shouldn’t be the case. Why would she feel regret over this, when she did what anyone else would? Besides, she knows I’m just a fake girlfriend.Regardless, despite what happened, it was still her birthday today, too. It would be too cruel to ruin her day because of this.“I was feeling a bit stuffy in the castle and wanted to go for a walk,” I said instead, causing her to turn to me wide-eyed. “I didn’t mean to go far, but I encountered some Rogues in the woods.”The last part caused a commotion amongst the werewolves.“Rogues?! In our pack?!”“How could there be Rogues in our territory?!”“It h

Chapter: Chapter 20 Trouble in the WoodsMaya’s POVI ran after Dorothy in the woods as fast as I could, looking around for any sign of a human-like girl or a wolf-like creature in the area. I would’ve brought backup, but aside from not wanting to waste time in the search, I did not want to cause a commotion in having people know that something was wrong with the birthday girl.Thankfully, though I was no werewolf, I was taught how to find tracks by my parents when we went camping one time, and Dorothy left quite an abundance of them. Be they footprints on the ground or grass, or some disturbance in the trees.I soon followed the tracks to a pond, with a small waterfall falling into it. Right by it was Dorothy, who still seemed to be suffering, with her body shifting still. Eventually, she began changing completely, as her body grew bigger, with brown fur growing out of her. Her nails elongated, turning into claws, and even her face shifted, turning longer and wolf-like. A tail also poked out of her dress, which got torn dur

Chapter: Chapter 19 Childhood FriendsMaya's POVMy suspicions were gradually getting realized as Dorothy gave me a tour around her home. At first, it seemed like a friendly tour, with a bit of boasting here and there. However, as it continued, I was starting to catch hints of hostility from Dorothy. Particularly when she questioned me about things like artwork or musical pieces in the werewolf world or anything historic- things I wouldn’t know about. “My goodness, if you have such little knowledge about our world, I now wonder if you are truly capable of being an appropriate Luna for the Red Nights,” Dorothy stated, still going on with the tour. Although she made that statement in disappointment, I could sense a hint of amusement in her tone.“Sorry,” I could only say in response, not wanting to do anything to upset Dorothy. Or at least, not in a way where she would make a fuss.Dorothy only sighed. “For someone like you to be selected in pretending to be Zeke’s future Luna, just what is Miss Zephyr even thinking?” I w

Chapter: Chapter 18 The Birthday GirlMaya’s POVIt had been a few days since I regained consciousness. Not only that, but my recovery ended faster than it should’ve. I wasn’t sure if it was because of whatever herbs or meds the werewolves used on me, but I could’ve sworn I needed to stay in recovery for another few weeks, at least. And yet, according to the doctor who treated me, I turned out to be fit as a fickle. And now?“Do you see that town over there? That’s my friend’s pack, Preparatory Pack,” Zephyr introduced, pointing to an area the driver was taking us to up ahead.My eyes widened at the sight of it, as it looked more like a city back home in the human world. “Whoa… I didn’t know there were packs like that,” I breathed out in awe.We were in a limo, being driven down the expressway to the pack for Zephyr’s friend’s granddaughter’s birthday. I sat there, a bouquet in hand, holding back my excitement as we were being driven there. It had been far too long since I last went on a trip to anywhere, the last one I h

Chapter: Chapter 17 Chatting with GrandmaMaya’s POVI awoke to the feeling of a rough hand on my cheeks. Opening my eyes, I was visibly surprised to see Alpha Zeke looking down at me. “What’s going on?” I asked, unsure how to take this situation. Or even what to think of it.The bed I was on was extremely soft. Softer than anything I’d ever laid on. I slowly got up, my body feeling somewhat sore. The blanket slowly slid off me, but I paid it no mind, as I rubbed my temple with a groan, feeling a slight headache coming on. As I did so, I noticed something odd about my sleeve. That being how big it was, as it slid down my arm, revealing an IV tube in me. I looked down at myself, noticing I was in a white oversized button-up shirt- a man’s shirt, no less!- with some of my breasts being revealed from the top. My eyes widened, a terrible feeling rising in me, as I slid my other hand down to my lower body under the blanket…Not even underwear.I gasped in embarrassment, and brought the blankets up, covering my chest completely.

Shattered Heart: My Owner is the Mafia Alpha
Sequel to Shattered Heart: My Ex-Husband Wants Me Back. Abused by her only drunken father, isolated by her many schoolmates and teachers, Rebecca's life could not have gotten any worse. Not when she was already struggling with her studies, and make whatever she could in her part-time jobs.
Or so she thought, when she found out her father owed much money from a mafia group, and offered to sell herself away to pay it off. All this time, she had been honoring her mother's wish to not leave her father alone, and this was what she got in return? To be sold off to some horrible men who will undoubtedly have their way with her?!
"Since you offered yourself to this, you need to take responsibilities for your action."
She did not expect, however, for her new owner to be him. To be the one man who was the only person who never treated her with disdain. Nor did she ever think she will find out things about him she was better off not knowing.
Christian Riverdale. Son of Forrest and Kiara Riverdale. By day, he is the star athlete of Dayton High. Popular, and untouchable by even the teachers and principals, and police officers. Come night, on the other hand...

Chapter: Stories Had to Come From SomewhereRebecca woke up to her neck and back aching a bit. Opening her eyes, she found that she had woken up in bed, in Christian’s room. Sitting up, she rubbed the aching spot on her neck, trying to ease the pain.‘Ow… I must’ve slept funny last night,’ she thought. A thought that gave her a pause, as she realized one little thing. ‘Wait… When did I fall asleep? Or did I never wake up the first time?’She could remember it well enough, the scene somewhat fresh in her mind. How she and Christian found out that Retchet knew about his mother- and potentially where she may be- to the guy changing… into a monster. But, that can’t be real. Her waking up in bed proves that. It had to be a dream.‘Yeah, of course it was a dream,’ she thought, feeling somewhat relieved now. ‘Think about it, myself. A monster? A person turning into a werewolf? There’s no way that can ever be real. Stuff like that is only fiction. Works of fantasy.’The more she told herself that, the more it made sense to her. She did

Chapter: Wolf RevealThere were many impossible things that happened in Rebecca's life. Things that should not have happened- never happened to anyone else- yet for her, it all came to be. Because of that, she didn't think she would have a good, normal life anymore. Not even when Christian admitted his mistake towards her and promised to treat her better.Never, however, did she ever think her life would get any weirder. Any worse than it already has. Not when she was standing there, before a real monster… hovering over her.“A… A werewolf…?” she uttered out, resulting in a harsh growl from Christian.Not wanting her to be in any danger, nor for her to witness anything that will come next, see what can never be unseen, Retchet hastily got up and slipped past Christian, landing a firm karate chop behind her neck. One clean hit, and she was knocked out cold. Before she hit the floor, the Beta werewolf managed to catch her and gently set her down.“Milord, please, wait!” he pleaded, resulting in another snar

Chapter: Revelation of TerrorRetchet had often imagined this day to happen. The day when young Alpha Christian would find out about his little secret. That he knew where his mother was resting. And yes, he had imagined the boy enraged upon finding out that he hid such truth from him. Perhaps even to the point of wanting to murder him with his own two hands.He did not think such a day would come so soon- all because the secret was accidentally slipped to him by another he had hinted out the secret to- as he was practically dragged to Christian’s office. The boy whose strength, at times such as this, becomes insanely powerful, more than that of an adult Alpha, as he tossed the Beta to a desk and slammed the door shut.“You have a lot of explaining to do, Retchet!” Christian demanded. “How the hell do you know about her?!”Perhaps he wanted to cling on to that small hope that he can hide the secret a little longer, or perhaps it was the small habit of needing to keep that secret on Alpha Fenris’s command, but rathe

Chapter: Not Supposed to Know Unless...Rebecca was quite surprised with the words that left his mouth. There were others who already know about the true reason for the mafia’s existence? More than that, Retchet was not supposed to be one of them who knew?“Well… Sure, maybe he shouldn’t be knowing about it, but like I said, he could have overheard the intention from you at some point, or one of those other people who know,” she reasoned, trying to make sense with what she was told.“Neither of those could be possible,” Christian denied once more. “Not once have I said a word about my mother to anyone, or that I was looking for her. Any mentions about her were far too vague. Even my investigation board for her, I never mentioned her relationship to me.”Rebecca grew more shocked and confused when those words left his mouth, as she glanced at the board. As he said, though there were some details on the several notes on there about a missing person they said nothing about who, exactly, that person was. Not to Christian, at le

Chapter: Different Sides of HimWhen Rebecca next woke, she found herself lying in bed. Feeling groggy, she sat up and rubbed sleep out of her eyes… when she came to realize something.‘When did I fall asleep?’ she wondered, looking around the room.Rebecca was undoubtedly in Christian’s room- that much she knew and remember. However, she did not remember falling asleep on the bed.‘Let’s see… What did I do beforehand…?’ she wondered, trying to remember what happened last. She turned her head to the side, where she saw some slips of paper placed on a desk. From what she could see from the bed, they were not notes for Christian’s investigation board. They were handwritten, for one, and the papers were quite big to be put anywhere on the board.Her eyes widened as she recalled the events last night. ‘Oh that’s right. I was jotting down ideas on what the bedroom should look like for Christian’s mother,’ she remembered. ‘I dozed off several times, too. Tried to keep myself awake. Guess I ended up falling asleep at some

Chapter: Renew Living Quarters Pt IIAs she entered Christian’s room, Rebecca found herself growing stiff once more. Each step she took felt heavier than the last, as she questioned why she was even in this situation. ‘What do I mean ‘why’? It’s all because of that idiot who borrowed their money and never paid them back. Then again, I had to open my mouth and offer myself as tribute instead,’ she thought, reminding herself how her situation even began, before shaking her head. ‘No. There is no use crying over spilled milk. Besides, if you can remind yourself of reality, reality of this situation is that Christian will not try anything to you. He’s not that sort of guy.’She managed to somewhat calm herself as she thought that, trying to put more belief in that thought than having some doubts in it. Something that is more difficult for her than anything else, considering the life she led and was led. Lifting her head up, her eyes caught sight of a familiar board hanging on a wall. One that got her in trouble once with Ch

Chapter: The Bittersweet Freedom“So that’s what he’s decided…” Ellie could only say, after being told of the punishment William gave her by Raymond.“Unfortunately, yeah…” the Alpha weakly said. “B-But hey. Look on the bright side. You’ll still live. You’re not going to die.”“Not now, at least,” Ellie solemnly added. “William may not have decided to kill me, but making me into a slave? You know as well as I do that that’s even worse than being exiled. And here I thought I wouldn’t be used as a tool ever again…”Slavery amongst werewolves… While it was not something common amongst any werewolf pack, it was still a well-known punishment amongst many. Usually done to werewolves who committed an unspeakable crime as irredeemable mutts, or members of a fallen pack’s Alpha’s family as trophies. Either way, once branded as a slave, no longer would that werewolf be seen as an equal. No longer would they be treated as a person. Instead… they will be treated as a tool they aren’t.Since slavery was a practice that was rarely

Chapter: The Blinded UnfairnessMeanwhile, at the Hermit Pack, days had passed since the encounter with the Nex Pack. After getting the time to personally grieve, it was now the day when the Hermit Pack was to move out and merge with the Devorare Pack. With news of Jengo’s passing already well known to all the werewolves in the Hermit Pack, the Devorare Wolves- well aware of their Alpha’s full feelings towards their late Beta- did not want to bother their leader with the preparations, and thus managed to get everything done in time.Of course, the preparations made were not just for the Hermit Wolves’ relocating, as one certain werewolf had just found out.“Alpha William… Tell me you are not serious about this!” Raymond requested.“I believe I made myself clear plenty of times these past few days, Alpha Raymond,” William said, looking over some documents. “Especially when I requested you to make such arrangements. You who is the only other person present at the time of Jengo’s death, in addition to being a fellow Al

Chapter: The Nex ReportIt was a cold night at the Nex Pack, as Lyra, Hayden, and the other juvenile werewolves knelt before their Alpha. Most of them were quite frightened being in his presence. Specifically since they gave in their reports about the mission.“Let me see if I got this right,” Drake spoke after taking in a breath. “Not only did you kids find your target and let her go free, you told her everything about herself. In the presence of two other nobodies, no less. Did I get that right?”“Nobodies they may be, Alpha, they are also someone close to the target,” Lyra corrected. She being the only one not fazed by the menacing aura he was emitting.Her casual response only served to increase Drake’s rage, as he personally rushed down to his stepdaughter and slammed her face down to the floor. “Do you really think this is supposed to be funny in any way at all?” he questioned. “You don’t seem to understand how severe the situation is here. In this pack, it is one thing if our target manages to escape

Chapter: Prisoner Once MoreThe next day, Ellie had regained consciousness and found herself in a very familiar room. One she could not believe she was in again. Only much worse than the last time.‘Again…? I’m in a cell again…’ she thought.She reached a hand out to the bars, hoping that the room she was in was not really what she thought it to be. Upon feeling her finger burn on contact, Ellie hastily recoiled and curled up in a ball.‘He… He really believed it all… He believed a bunch of strangers, who are also his enemies… over his own mate… Then again, when has he ever believed me in anything?’To say Ellie was in disbelief of her own situation- of the events that led to her current state now- would be an understatement. Regardless of how much William detests her, how could he easily believe in what other werewolves claim? More so when those very werewolves were part of the pack he insinuated to have a bad history with? She did not want to think what she went through last night was real, but here she was… S
