My Billionaire Rebound
“Me?” I asked, a smile playing on my lips. “You already have me.”
His response was immediate, like he had been waiting forever to say the words.
“Not the way I want. Not the way that matters.”
********
I sat in a bar, determined to drown out every single one of my sorrows after my marriage came to a painful crash, but he strolled in, all seductive smiles and an accent that rippled through me.
Theon Murphy, a man made of dark chocolate, velvet kisses, and sin.
That one night wasn’t supposed to happen, and I wasn’t supposed to walk into my first day of work to find my one-night lover seeking a care nurse for his grandfather. Me.
Now we’re forced into a fake relationship that feels all too real, and every time he kisses me, the world stops and stills like a chaotic painting.
When he makes a declaration, expressing his need to love me for real; would I be able to take the tattered fragments of my heart and piece them into something that deserves his love, or would the external forces creeping in on us arrive before I can make up my mind?
My Billionaire Rebound is a book wrapped in layers of seduction, indecision and the crippling need to belong to someone trustworthy. Would Alina finally find her happily ever after? Or does fate have one more cruel twist up its sleeve?

Chapter: OFF YOU GO.THEON“Are you okay?” I asked, my eyes trained on her stiff back as she looked at the phone.Her arm had been raised to retrieve it, and now it hung in the air, her eyes just glued to the phone while it rang to a stop and then picked up again. She jerked at the sound of my voice, and turned to face me.“It’s…” The name of the caller seemed to be stuck in her throat. “It’s Zach.”The world came to an instant halt, and I felt rage start to shimmer in my bloodstreams. What the hell did that bastard want with my girl?I forced my voice to stay level as I asked. “Do you want to find out what he wants?” I sure as hell wanted to.Her eyes searched mine, as if she was looking for any clues that I was going to have a problem with her talking to him on the phone. I kept my face blank, like a canvass before it met an artist’s brush.“I don’t think that’s a good idea,” she finally answered, her voice merely a whisper.My body was moving before I could call it back into order, feet on the floor an

Chapter: SURPRISESALINAMy thoughts were all over the place, and it was evident in the way I laid facing the ceiling, my eyes drawing patterns through every single line like I was trying to create art – or drive myself crazy, depending on which one happened first.“You’re going to have to get some rest, princess,” Theon murmured, pressing his lips against my temple.I let him pull me into his arms, my head resting on his chest as he drew soothing patterns down my back. I didn’t want him to have to worry about me at a time like this, but…“Why didn’t you just drop the case?” I asked, my voice soft enough to carry only the curiosity that I felt. I would hate myself if he heard judgment in there somewhere.His chest rose with the deep breath he took. “Grandpa meant a lot to me, you know? I couldn’t just let his murderer walk away simply because.”“His death was an accident.”“It could’ve easily been you,” he countered. “Hell, it was supposed to be you.” His arms tightened around me as he said the words.I

Chapter: WELL, LEAVE.THEONThe shock on her face would have been fucking hilarious if my mind wasn’t still trying to piece itself together from the unhealthy fear that had racked it when I believed the guards would have been too slow to react.Just the thought of having her taken away from me in any way was enough to make all of my thoughts crash to a halt and be replaced by a feeling that wasn’t in any way safe.“What do you mean? What news?” She asked both questions in quick succession, and her best friend looked to me for help.My shoulders bounced in a shrug and her tear-stained face hardened before she turned back to Alina. “The major news outlets have been talking about the attempted assassination and kidnap at the funeral of Grandpa Murphy by the same people who had killed him.”Alina’s eyes moved in my direction instantly, her smart mind drawing the only conclusion that was plausible given the comments I made during the attack. I didn’t hurry with an explanation, I just watched her with a calmness

Chapter: WHAT NEWS?ALINA“I’m sorry, what?” I heard myself asking, even though fear was already camping prettily in my chest. “What does any of this have to do with me?”The men stepped forward again, one after the other, their guns raised to eye level. My gaze moved between them and Bryon who was still on the ground, one palm pressed over his injured shoulder.“Let the girl go, or we’d wade through your bullet riddled body to get her.” One of them threatened, his huge brown eyes flitting between me and Theon in an unspoken warning.The one with tattoos peeking out from underneath his sleeves flashed his teeth in a smile that was every level of predator. Fear sank its nails deep into my ribcage, making every attempt at a drag of air feel painful.“Trust me, we’d leave here with the girl. You only have to decide how much bloodshed you want before that happens.”My mouth moved on its own accord, spewing nonsense that I would never have thought of saying in a million years. “I’d rather die than go anywhere

Chapter: AN ATTACKALINA“I think you should stay at home today, baby. You’ve had a rough few days and I think the emotional weight needs to be laid off for a while.”Theon was standing just outside the door to the bathroom as I walked out, towel drying my hair. I paused with my hands in my hair and looked at him.His face was drawn tight in that way that announced that he was holding back a lot and my heart broke with the need to reach out to him and wrap my arms around him. The blankness in his eyes was causing an ache in my chest, his lips pressed in a flat line as he studied me, and his arms folded over his chest, the tailored black of his suit stretching with the movement.I took a step in his direction, securing the towel around my head and wrapping my arms around his waist. “I can’t just let you go there by yourself. You need someone by your side.”He tensed just before he pulled my arms down and stepped away from me. “I’ll be fine.”My arms fell rigidly to my sides. “But I won’t be. Grandpa was

Chapter: SUBTLE THREATS?THEONI stepped into the house feeling like shit. This was one of the homes I rarely ever used, and the switch from the one I loved, the one I had shared with Grandpa, to this was infuriating in more ways than one.My phone rang in my pocket, cutting through the silence of the empty space. I reached into my pocket and grabbed the device, clicking the accept button as soon as I saw the name on the screen.“Mr. Thompson. What a pleasure to hear from you again. How have your days of exile treated you?” my tone was mocking, but it was the least he deserved. I didn’t have to guess why it was that he was calling me, the timing already gave him away.“Theon,” he called back into the phone with a sigh. “We need to talk. It’s urgent.”I almost laughed at the tone of voice that he spoke in, but I didn’t want to let the stray thought of putting a bullet through him fester in my mind so I sighed.“Unfortunately, nothing of urgency would have first required your disappearance.”There was a long pa

CURSE OF THE HYBRID ALPHA
"Do you take me, Zedane Rhage, as your mate?"
"I do. One flesh, one blood, one pack, one magic and one lifetime."
****
When Kiena Vocci dumps her forced mate on the altar, she loses everything she once knew... family, pack, life.
Now she bumps into a hot stranger, one whose ruthlessness precedes every other part of his being, yet invokes the basest reactions from her.
It was supposed to be a quick escape from the chokehold of her father's pack, but it instead became a rapid growth of unwarranted feelings.
What happens when she realises that there are secrets being kept from her, and that Zedane cannot reciprocate the feelings she has for him despite their mating?
Would she connect with her wolf, or would she end up being just another outcast?

Chapter: SHE'S HERE!!KIENAWhat in the name of the moon goddess is that? I have seen wolves before, Alpha wolves as well, and while they might all have deathly fangs that can make you piss your pants in fright, this is different.There's something less animally about the fangs in the Zedane's mouth. They look more refined. More like they are meant for poking holes than shredding skin.The fear that slams into me this time is pure and undiluted, pushing my arousal down a drain I didn't even know existed until this moment.He notices the terror on my face, and I swear his smile broadens. “Don't fight me, little poison. It turns me on. And you don't want to see what happens when I am turned on by fear.”There's a hint of psychopathy in the way he utters those words. His red gaze travels over the skin on my neck.“Do you want me to bite? I know you taste good. I tasted you already.” He swipes his tongue over his bottom lip and releases a sound that could be considered a moan if it didn't vibrate through the w

Chapter: WHAT IN THE WORLD?KIENANothing says terror like the look on Zedanes's face as I stand in the doorway of his room. For once, I regret not listening to someone's advice.His eyes are a dark shade of red, veins pulsing from the hands he has clenched so tightly I fear they might snap. He inches one slow inch after another in my direction, and I retreat.“What are you doing, Zedane? Knock it out.” I admonish. “You're hurting the pack, and that's not how an Alpha should treat the wolves under his command.”A low growl emanates from his chest, vibrating through the air and causing fear to grip me like a vise around the throat.“My venom.” His lips part in a smile that sends chills racing along my spine.“Excuse me? What venom? Were you poisoned?”He shakes his head, as though he's trying to clear it, and he takes a step backward; face devoid of the lunacy I met when I first walked in.Tentatively, I walk in his direction, offering him support because despite my feelings towards the man, I know for a fact tha

Chapter: DEFINITELY PAINZEDANEEverything is wrong. Taste, smell, sight; all of it. A haze of madness cloaks my mind, pushing every last ounce of sanity out of my grasp. I shake my head in an attempt to clear the fog that’s sitting over my thoughts and everything else.The plate in front of me is swiped off the table with a violent growl that shakes the roof of the manor, sending terror through every nook and cranny. I hate losing control. It takes me back to a time where all I knew was vulnerability.My breaths come out in short pants, anger and helplessness struggling for dominance inside me. I can’t succumb to the feeling that is struggling to drag me under and spit me out only after it has had its way with me.“Are you okay, Alpha?” A voice I can vaguely register asks from somewhere around me, but I can’t force a response out for their sake – or mine.The winds howl in protest as I battle against the pull of insanity. The draw of lust on me is becoming more powerful with each breath I take and I let out

Chapter: ANGER OR PAIN?KIENAIt's been a whole month, one entire month since I got back to the pack, and that douchebag Alpha wolf, who should also be my mate, has been treating me to the coldest set of shoulders I've ever seen.He barely speaks to me, matter of fact, we barely even cross parts. But like the idiot that I am, I run outside hoping to catch a glimpse of him after I heard his enraged howl, but once again I'm met with cold eyes, curt words and an all round disinterest in anything that concerns me.I step out of the shower feeling even worse than I had when I stepped in. I don't even understand why my wolf is intent of not speaking to me, yet overpowering me with her excessive emotions. Like the very unnecessary guilt I'm feeling right now, even though he has made it clear that he was only concerned for his pack and not me.My head snaps in the direction of the door as a knock rings out. "Who's there?""Lina." The tiny voice on the other side of the door calls back.I sigh as I walk over and pull

Chapter: ROGUE ATTACKZEDANEIt's been a whole month since I found Kiena lying half-dead beneath the bushes that were cut into a makeshift tent for her. Whoever it was that took her wanted me to find her, and probably dead too.I can still taste the dangerous flavor of fear that had cloaked me after I found her in that position. It was something I had succeeded in preventing for well over a decade, almost two, but in a single moment, a woman was able to bring it right back."Are you even here?" Lunil asks along the bond we share with the pack.My eyes snap in the direction that his mental voice came from and our eyes lock on each other. I nod once to let him know that all is well and then pick up the pace, but he isn't far behind."You don't look like all is well with you. You've let the same rabbit run past you twice without so much as blinking in its direction, and that's very unlike you. You're an exceptionally skilled hunter, something has to be wrong if you're missing game like that."I cut him a glar

Chapter: BACK HOMEKIENAMy eyes feel heavy but I force them open, feeling the pressure in my head intensify as my body begins to stir awake. The endless dabble between consciousness and unconsciousness has left me feeling drained and weary.My mind vaguely registers the fact that Zedane is still sitting beside my bed. I wonder how long he has been in that position. He thrusts a glass of water in my direction. "Here. Have a drink."I close my eyes shut again. I can't stand the cold intensity of his gaze right now. I'm already in enough pain as it is, and the fact that I cannot even remember anything that happened after I was plucked up in front of the gates makes it all that worse."This isn't the time to play childish games, Kiena. Have something to drink, we need to have a talk." Just like his eyes, his voice is also steel hard and devoid of emotions, except maybe anger.I try to get into a sitting position after I manage to pry my eyes open, but a groan works its way through me an I slink back down,
