Tugging. The tugging at my body made my mind swirl.What was going on?As soon as I forced my eyes open, my heart almost jumped out from my chest with horror–Derek loomed over me half naked with a lustful smile. What was he doing to me?!!Then I realized where I was… on my bed, and my clothes were a
"This pure virgin body will soon be underneath the most ruthless of Alpha's. Do you honestly think he will take one look at you as a maid, and not want to f*ck you and make you scream? I already want that, and I don't know if I should let you go without trying you first."Derek's words pulled me out
Beeping. Low, steady beeping.Why did I smell chemicals?I was trying to understand where I was, but my eyelids were too heavy to lift.My hand rested upon my head. The throbbing was ever so present. It hurt to even think. The fatigue had finally set into my body, and even moving the slightest made

My father lied to me. I wasn't sold as a maid. How naive I was to believe what he said?A BREEDER!What does being a breeder even mean? Carrying a child…? No… no…No matter how difficult my life had become, no matter how desperate I was, I had always still prayed that one day I could find my mate. S
**Talon's POVLooking at Vicky, I nodded for her to take over the situation.Ethan was done with the girl for the night.Vicky and Estrella still needed to get Rosalie to eat something and take some rest. There wasn't much need of me in the hospital at the moment, thus I followed my Alpha out.Ethan

The entire family had gathered in the dining room and was chatting amiably over a very impressive spread that had been laid out by the kitchen–two prime rib roasts, a honeyed ham, and three roast ducks were the centerpieces of the table, all of which were being enjoyed liberally by everyone.George
RowanMom ran her fingers across Selene's head, admiring her fine white hair. She looked every ounce the doting grandmother instead of a ball of uncertainty, like Maeve. Maeve was pacing back and forth near the fall wall of my bedroom, her arms folded across her chest and her head bent as she tried
Kacidra joined in the conversation. "Maeve is right, Rowan. We need to know what's happening with you and Hanna, or else we'll never be able to help."Rosalie's voice was calm and supportive as she asked, "Is it Hanna that's troubling you, son? Is she doing all right?My first instinct was to tell t
Gemma and Ernest had flown down with my parents and their son George, who was just two months older than Maeve's sons.A moment later, the library door opened and more of our family members poured in, as if they were fully aware of the thoughts I'd just had and I'd summoned them. I pushed aside my n

Maeve–Four Months LaterSuntra was not what I was expecting. I had become accustomed to the seemingly endless white-sand beaches of Avondale, where the sand grit was so fine it felt like powdered sugar as you walked barefoot in the surf. Suntra's sand was coarse and golden and dappled with tidepool
I straightened up a bit, shifting Oliver's weight in my arms as I narrowed my eyes back at him, sizing him up. A man roughly my father's age came bounding out of their house, waving at me apologetically as he leaned to whisper harshly in the ear of the man I assumed was his father.Whatever his son
