ARRANGED MARRIAGE: LOVING THE MASKED ALPHA.
"Alpha Richard, my Alpha's bride just escaped. Karen is gone." He announced, glaring down at my father like an evil Ogre.
"W-what, how is that possible?" My father stuttered, and for the first time in my life, I saw true fear in his eyes. Karen escaped, the bride to-be.
"Guards!" The man continued, his dark, cold, uncanny black eyes flitting towards me.
"Seize the princess. If we can't find Karen, she'll be the replacement."
***
On her eighteenth birthday, Princess Andrea's world is turned upside down when her sister, who was set to marry, escapes her impending nuptials. Her father, the pack's leader, makes a fateful decision: Andrea will take her sister's place at the altar.
Yet, Andrea's heart already belongs to another, until she finds her lover in bed with another woman. Saddened and enraged Andrea accepts the arranged marriage and a husband she doesn't know with open arms.
As the new bride of Alpha Ronin, she discovers that he, too, is not what he seems. Cold, distant and wanting nothing do to with their marriage, he is not at all the husband Andrea envisioned beside her.
Secrets and hidden desires begin to unravel as their journey takes a dangerous turn.
As they navigate the treacherous path of deception, Andrea's heartache and Ronin's conflicted feelings bind them together in unexpected ways. Just as the pack's elders, powerful alliances, and envious lovers threaten to tear them apart.
Amidst the turmoil, Andrea faces the challenges of her new role as Luna, determined to break traditions and empower the she-wolves in her pack.
Ronin, burdened by a dark history, wrestles with the truth about his past and the uncertain future that lies ahead.
But will they be able to protect their newfound love? Or will forces beyond their control rip them apart forever?

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY NINE. -CHAPTER 39-VALERIE.The ripple of shock that ran through me when he had said that froze me for a moment. I couldn't understand what was happening. I was more than shocked as he deflected my plea and came up with the same old bullshit of making sure that he doubled the security and made sure that they guarded me at all times. What had the security he had employed to guard done when I had gone out there in the woods and faked it all without any of them seeing me or stopping me before I did it. I watched as he made his promise of going to look for whoever had done this time and tracking them down. He had no idea that he was being sent into a wild goose chase. I was happy that he would come back with no single proof or track as to who had done it. He would come back tired and frustrated. And that was exactly the same way he looked when he came back the next morning to talk to me and see how I was doing. He was tired and he looked quite frustrated like the whole thin

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT. -CHAPTER 38-RONIN.Shocked was too weak a word to describe the way I felt the moment I laid my eyes on Valerie who was sprawled on the ground. Her form painted a clear picture of vulnerability and it hit me like a freight train. I was so confused and shocked as it began to sink in that she had been attacked. But how? By who? How was that even possible and what was she doing in this part of the woods away from the Packhouse? I guess she came around to have some fresh air and reconnect with nature. It wasn't far from the Packhouse so I shouldn't be so concerned. My protective instincts immediately surged to the forefront and I cared immediately while giving orders to the guards who were beside me now. I couldn't stand the sight of her lying down there, asking the guards to move away from her. "What happened to you?" I asked, moving close to her but I berated myself immediately for asking her the question. It was clear that she was hurt and wouldn't be able to answer the question.

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN. -CHAPTER 37-VALERIE Anticipating his visit tomorrow made me so excited and I could not stop wondering how my planned spectacles would change basically everything about us. But first I had to make sure that I planned everything meticulously and there was not a single chance that anything fishy would be detected. I set up for many hours that night thinking about what I was going to do to make him know that the Threat was real and I could fall in danger even when it seemed impossible. Unfortunately I had to sleep off that night with nothing planned because I was so excited that I found it hard coming up with a very good plan that would help me facilitate my mission.I eagerly continued to await his arrival while consequencing what the impact of my carefully crafted performance would do between the both of us and also his relationship with that bitch. I simply could not wait. My maid had already taken care of everything when I got up the next morning, just as he had p

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SIX. CHAPTER 36-RONIN.I started for her immediately, but I also had it in mind to keep my space and not approach her too much. I stood behind her, watching her every move as she began walking around. "I don't think i have all day, Valerie." I said to her, wanting to leave this place. I could no longer weather the way I felt right now. I just wanted to leave and have some moment of rest, away from the troubles that plagued me right now. I just wanted to go, but she was making sure that those feelings got more intense. As soon as I had said the word to her, she turned around immediately with a sly smile on her lips and began to approach me. She didn't say anything, which only made me more angry. Did she think I was here to make jokes with her or play games? I didn't want to voice out my anger at this moment because she would have enough reason to rant that I was not caring enough or that I was desperate to kick her out of my life, which wasn't what I wanted to hear. It was horrible when

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FIVE. RONINValerie's room felt a bit suffocating as I made my way through the door. I had no idea if it was because of the work I had been involved with all day or if it was because of the emotions that choked me the moment I remembered that I had made a terrible mistake and she was capitalising on it.I couldn't let her down, so I had to play by her rules now and see where this would take me. Her eyes brightened as she looked up at me, instantly acknowledging my presence. "Hey, you came!" She said excitedly with a radiant smile which was a sharp contrast to what I felt inside. I also knew that the way she presented herself now might not be the way she truly felt inside, sometimes I felt it was just one of her weak attempts to manipulate me into actually caring. I nodded before flashing her a very weak smile. "Yes." I said, releasing a weak sigh before walking to the bed where she was sitting. She got up from the bed and gave me a hug which I forcefully and awkwardly gave her back befo

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR. CHAPTER 34-RONIN."Tell me you're going to do something about this." She said, looking me in the eye as she spoke to me. I returned her gaze, not wanting to lie to her that I was going to do something about it when it was clear that she wasn't saying what I wanted to hear. It might not be true what had happened, so I wasn't going to do anything unless I had found out if she was telling the truth or not. By the way, doing something about it didn't mean punishing Andrea to her taste. I nodded and flashed her a small smile before brushing back her hair behind her nape. She gave me a sweet smile before I said. "I will, you don't have to feel sorry for yourself about it. I want you to take care of the baby and visit the hospital often so they can update you on things you need to do. I'll be here to offer any sort of assistance if you need me to." I finished and watched as she nodded her head, smiling happily from my promise. The most important thing was that she was happy. It didn't l

ENSNARED THE ALPHA'S PET
It’s amusing what two drops of aphrodisiac can do to a man. Just two cups into the stillest mead, and he’s done for.
Sexually raged, like a curse, and willing to empty his pocket for pleasure.
******
As an orphaned omega who spent her time working herself off at the age of 18, life wasn’t much to write home about for Maya.
That is, until she’s set up by her boss who drugs and locks her up to please a Lycan Alpha who’s under the influence of aphrodisiac.
“If you’re in this room,” Leo says huskily, his breath fanning Maya. “It can only mean one thing.”
“And what can that be?” Maya’s heart skips a beat.
“To pleasure me,” Leo responds, bringing his lips lower to Maya and says against her lips, “And it’s not a request.”

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY EIGHT Chapter 38: Maya. The day of the party arrives like a storm—fast, loud, and impossible to ignore. I stand near the large kitchen doorway, watching as people buzz around the estate like frantic bees. Servants rush past with trays of food, clinking glasses, and floral decorations that seem far too grand for what should just be another celebration. I pull my shawl tighter around me, feeling smaller with every passing minute. These kinds of gatherings, with their shimmering gowns, confident laughter, and overindulgence, are not my world. I feel like an intruder. A shadow among the light. The grand hall transforms into something unrecognizable, filled with chandeliers that glitter like a thousand stars. The air carries the thick scent of roasted meat and expensive perfume, a suffocating mix that settles in my throat. I move quietly, keeping to the edges, where no one will notice me. Today, Alpha Leo’s pack will celebrate some political milestone—one I didn’t ask about. One I don’t belon

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN. Chapter 37. Leo's POV I don’t know how much longer I can endure this. Courtney's voice grates against my ears like nails scraping against glass. She’s been at it for hours—complaining, arguing, pushing her way into a place she doesn’t belong. My room. My sanctuary. “I’ve always shared this space with you before,” she huffs, standing at the edge of my bed with her arms crossed. The light from the lamp softens her sharp features, but I see the stubborn set of her jaw. “Why should tonight be any different?” Because you’re not my mate, I think bitterly. Because the very thought of you here now makes me want to tear through the walls just to escape. “I’m not sharing my bed, Courtney,” I say, my voice cold and measured. I’ve repeated myself three times already, yet she doesn’t let up. “Why not?” she challenges, tilting her chin up. “I’ve always been here for you. I’ve done everything for you! I’ve stood by your side when no one else did—” “And I’ve given you my gratitude for

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY SIXChapter 36: Maya POV. I do my best to make myself invisible in this house. It's a survival tactic I've perfected since arriving here—move quietly, avoid eye contact, stick to the shadows. The mansion is vast, its hallways endless, and its silence oppressive. I’ve memorized the routes to the few places I need to go: the garden for my short, doctor-ordered walks, the kitchen for a glass of water when no one else is around, and back to my room, my solitary refuge. It’s easier this way, avoiding people. Avoiding her. Courtney’s presence is everywhere, even when she isn’t. It’s in the way the staff glance at me when I pass, the way my footsteps echo too loudly in the hallways, the way the air feels charged whenever I step out of my room. I know she doesn’t want me here. The feeling is mutual. After my walk today, I head straight to the shower. The hot water runs over me, washing away the tension in my muscles. I stay under the stream longer than I should, letting the heat soothe the ac

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FIVECHAPTER 35 LEO Anybody could smell the festivity in the air. The Packhouse was crammed with a lot of activities as servants and maids went around preparing every single corner of the Packhouse for the party tonight. It had been a very long time since a celebration of this sort happened here. As I made my way down to the courtyard, I could smell the polished woods fresh scent of flowers that were being chopped and decorated. It felt like chaos, but the kind that was meant to make things better. It was controlled, but chaos nonetheless. I had a lot of things to do so I needed to shift the work to someone else. As soon as I was ready to have the information disseminated, I called for everyone and asked them to gather in the main hall. How was the only place that could contain every single servant here. They filed in quietly, knowing better than to waste time because a lot of things still needed to be done. Claudia was standing beside me and there was a slight

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY FOURCHAPTER 34 LEOWhen I walked into the courtroom the next morning, it was packed and I knew it was because of my announcement yesterday. I'd solved the problem that bugged them the most, but you could never just satisfy the council. The tension in the air was so thick you could slice it with a knife and every eye seemed to be watching. I was standing there, dressed in a dark suit with my jaw clenched. Silas was sitting across the room with his lawyers and he looked so hard and cold. I'd put him off many times, and I suspected that this day was going to come. I always knew he wouldn't go down without a fight, even when the answer was staring at him in the face. There was nothing he was going to do to get what he wanted, yet he still went after it. Once the judge entered, we all stood. I had only been to court once, and it had my heart pounding even though I knew I was going to win this. The hearing for the will contest soon started with both sides taking turns

Chapter: CHAPTER THIRTY THREECHAPTER 33 LEOI had decided to come out today, despite anything that might have wanted to day against that. It didn't matter to me because all I needed at the moment was to be outside again, feel the air on my skin and the sun on my back. I couldn't stop thanking myself for making that decision because it felt almost perfect. The warm sun against my skin as I slowly made my way through the pack gardens with Estelle standing beside me to make sure I was feeling okay. I trudged along the path, crunching the gravel beneath my feet and smelling the fresh scent of flowers that came my way. However, my mind was still somewhere else. It was almost impossible to shake the heaviness that had settled in my chest now. These past few days have been nothing but confusing and lonely. That's when my mind went back to what Leo had told me at dinner. We were mates but it didn't change anything. It made my heart twist with pain again, but I shook off the thought, looking awa
