The server paused as he realized I was right. Worry and even a glimmer of fear flickered within his eyes as he forced a smile. “A-Another, Luna?”I didn’t look at Caius as I said, “Yes, if you will.”Like most men, my husband wasn’t one for being ignored or disobeyed. Since I refused to look his way
Anastasia If you were to have asked me to pinpoint the moment my life fell apart and the world that I knew came crashing down in an explosion of shattered hopes, wishes, and dreams, I would’ve said it started the day my father called me into his office. As the Alpha of our large pack, located alon
Anastasia Three Years Later “Butterfly, you’re up!” Neeve, tonight’s manager, called from within the club. I stood from my dressing table and leaned across the sea of eyeshadow pallets, lip glosses, stage paint, and body sprays, to check my make-up in the mirror. A shimmery azure powder coated m
Anastasia The car’s engine was a low hum, a purr that skated along my skin and left me tingling as I cruised down the highway. Or maybe it was the adrenaline. I hadn’t started my career as a dancer by lifting cars and robbing my customers. It was something I sort of fell into. A hobby, if you wi
Anastasia I froze time for a fraction of a second, long enough for me to skirt around them and get a head start. The warmth of blood trickled from my nostril as time resumed. “What the f—” One of them grunted. I didn’t bother looking back to see who it had been. Something agonizingly cold wrapped
Anastasia Goddess, he was beautiful. “Focus, woman!” Ziva snarled. Right! Not beautiful. He was ugly. Disgustingly hideous with his tousled hair and rippling muscles, tanned to utter perfection. And he was towering over me, pressing me into the dirt with that large body of his nestled between my
On that note, the brute grabbed me by my arm and began to drag me to the door, which is exactly how I ended up back in that dingy interrogation room. I took one look at the metal cuffs bolted to the chair and cringed, “Can we maybe skip the bondage part? It gives me the worst rash.” “That’s becaus
Anastasia If there were three things I was good at it was stealing, stripping, and lying my ass off. Jasmine, my old roommate, liked to say that I was a professional bullshitter. Other than Evangeline, she was the only one who truly knew me. We’d met a year ago on the busy streets of San Francisc

This was all likely just my daddy issues rearing their ugly heads.“I mean he did buy us stuff, protect us from bad guys, take us on dates, and gave us lots of orgasms. Plus he rubs our feet and checks out our ass when he thinks we’re not looking.” Ziva said. If she had fingers I knew she’d be ticki
Anastasia“She’s been found North of Vancouver by two hunters who veered off path. Unable to tell her condition. It’s been difficult getting in contact with Canadian authorities. They’re taking her into custody.”What they didn’t say was if it were Fallon or Fallon’s corpse.Within an hour we were s
Ditzy? I was not ditzy.Kicking back against his tree-trunk legs I leaned forwards and shot back with all of the momentum I had. I braced for pain and …“R’AAAGH!” Caius’s roar shook the halls.Stars danced behind my eyes, laughing at my agony. It spread across my skull as it smashed into Caius’s no
AnastasiaI could taste my husbands anger in the air as I ran from him.The dark laughter of his family faded into a silence that had me holding my breath. Caius wasn’t running after me the way I thought he would. He must’ve been keeping it together well enough. That was unfortunate.I wanted him br
On Sunday I came down to breakfast wearing a silk pajama set. It was a deep red, like the color of spilled wine, and matched my freshly painted toes. I yawned and waved at everyone as I headed over to the breakfast table.There was a platter of various omelets surrounded by smaller plates full of fr
AnastasiaI crawled back into bed feeling both disturbed and oddly satisfied. Obviously watching Knight violate my husband’s pillow was not the satisfying part, but I could handle it because it meant I got my revenge for the hair dye fiasco.At least he waited until after the wedding…Curling up ben
Knight grumbled something under his breath and clung to the pillow a bit tighter. I turned away with a laugh. Evangline really would send Peter here if I didn’t say something. It was tempting, though. Caius would be pissed if he woke up on some deserted island.“Very badass, but I have to decline. I
Evangeline liked to claim she was only attracted to women, but that was a lie. She was just incredibly picky when it came to men. It was on her eighteenth birthday that she told me she’d never even dated one before. Wasn’t surprising though given her mother.Point was, she could deny it all she want
