“No,” I heard myself say as I stood. “It’s going to be okay.”

Elena tipped her head back as I drew closer, shaking her head. “It’s not going to be okay!” she fired out, throwing her hands up. “You don’t understand at all!”

“I do,” I murmured, crouching down beside her.

My hand fell on her filthy, faded jeans, the feel of her slender thigh beneath my fingers sending shivers through me.

Easy, Jeff. Down, boy…

My own internal warning was useless. I made no move to adjust my fingers.

“I get it,” I insisted. “Ernest is a pig. His collection of virgins is disgusting, I am not even one but he still have his interest in me and my friend.”

“All my friend wanted was to heal me and not marry us,there was no wedding deal, he just use it against us.”

I recoiled, my hands falling back at the revelation. My mind’s eye saw Selina pinned and unclothed beneath Ernest’s body, unable to escape. Again, my reaction was visceral.

“What?!”

Selina shook her head, the golden strands falling over her face.

    SelinaI had told Ernest so many times that I am no virgin, but he was too enamored with the idea of just having us as his wife or at least, he was choosing to ignore me. I didn’t push the issue, anymore, the insult to his ego might have catastrophic consequences for Agnes, me and my son.He might kill us, if only to save face.But for what I am sure about, I had never been in the presence of a man before even though I can’t remember how it happened back then.I couldn’t even remember them not when his mouth consumed me, stealing not only my breath but what felt like my entire life force.I had been on top of him, but somehow, in the passion of the moment, I found myself pinned beneath him on the cold, thin carpet of the office floor, my hands splayed above my head. His kiss grew harder, more determined, his eyes half-closed as his breaths became heavier on my face. My heart pounded so furiously, I could feel it in my throat.What had changed? He had been so determined not to touch me,

  • THE ALPHA KING’S WRONG MATE & THE SECRET BREEDER    IT WAS A MISTAKE

    My actions took him by surprise, and he fell into the wall as I crashed into him, my lips finding the small of his throat, licking out to taste his Adam’s apple.“STOP!”The thunder in his single word froze me on the spot, and my arms fell to my side.He was serious.“We can’t do this,” he muttered, running a hand through his hair before he again avoided my confused stare. “It was a mistake.”And just like that, my security crumbled again, the world falling down around me. I wrapped my arms protectively around my naked body. I felt rejected , I felt I was never going to know my past.JEFFSelina’s pain might as well have been mine. Her perplexity was obvious, naked, and shattering. Those big, damn eyes locked on me, demanding an explanation I still couldn’t give her.Even though I’d fucked it all up already. I’d gone too far, hadn’t I? It was already too late.“What are you talking about?” she demanded, the uncertainty on her face breaking my heart.She was waiting for me to crack a s

    “I’ll be right back,” I snarled, turning away.I hoped that a few minutes alone would give her the time she needed to clear her thoughts and calm down. Maybe I should tell her about the curse and the reality of why I couldn’t involve myself with her and her sister.Bring back tonight’s pay, too!” Selina yelled after me. “I’m not coming back.”I whipped back around to look at her.“You didn’t do anything tonight.”She scoffed.“I came here, didn’t I? It’s not my fault if you didn’t let me work.”The anger was laced with hurt, but I swallowed again and nodded.“You know, you’re no better than Ernest, Jeff.”I reeled around, stunned and infuriated by the comparison.“What?!”“You say you will help me one second and then redact it the next. You say that we can’t do…” She motioned between us. “Whatever this is, and then you go down on me until I scream,” she muttered, blinking furiously. “At least Ernest is upfront with what he wants from us. He’s made his intentions clear.”I inhaled shar

    No, I had enough dragons to slay without bringing more into my world.“Is that enough?” he asked, his tone even and tender. “Or were you expecting more?”I said nothing, tucking the money into my back pocket as I turned away. The ringing in the room was starting to grind on my nerves.“There are messages for you,” I mumbled, reaching for the door.I half-expected him to grab my arm, to make some effort to stop me, but he didn’t. Instead, he dug his hands deep into his own pockets, like he was deliberately trying to stop himself from physically touching me again. He smelled of soap as I drifted past him, and I realized he’d washed me off him. The understanding made my heart sink more.He's already trying to forget about what happened between us. I’ll make this easier on him.Doing my best to keep my head up, I sailed out of the basement office.“Thanks for the opportunity,” I barely managed to crack.“Selina…”I hesitated, but didn’t turn around.“You don’t have to leave like this. You

    Virgil carefully avoided me when I entered the office, although I caught her sneaking me sidelong looks.“If you have something to say, say it,” I barked at her.“Did you touch that girl?” she demanded bluntly.I wished I hadn’t given her the opening to ask.“What?”“You heard me, Jeff.”“You have no right to question me about my personal life.”“Oh, gods,” Virgil moaned worriedly. “How far did you go with her?”I fixed my eyes on the computer, pretending her words didn’t drive into me with every syllable.“Nothing will happen,” I told her flatly. “That curse is outdated, and who knows the virtue of its validity?”Virgil scoffed loudly, folding her arms over her chest.“Are you denying that Gabriel was a powerful fae in his own right? That he had magic that could destroy your empire?”“If he wanted my empire to fall, why didn’t he just do it?”“Because he wanted to leave something for his own bloodline!” Virgil fired back. “You were partners, in case you’ve forgotten.”I tilted my hea

    “More people?” I echoed, wondering how many had fallen already.He nodded somberly. “Please. Let me do my job. You need to do yours now and lead.”Without a choice in the matter, I backed away, the screams of terror flooding my ears as I ushered my terrified guests out of the casino, confusion overwhelming me.A bomb. In my casino.This was all because of what I’d done with Selina. It was the only explanation, I was sure. How could I have been so damn careless?It was too late now for regret. Now I had to clean up the mess that I had made.SELINAI watched my son improve day by day. The morning after I quit working for Jeff, Agnes sat up for more than an hour in bed and took a few steps with my assistance around the room. The second day, he was strong enough to let me take him outside while Anna was also ready for the escape.“You have to be able to reach the gate and climb it,” I whispered to both of them as we walked arm-in-arm with Anna “I have a little money. We can run.”She star

    “You never did end up telling me Why you stop working,did he chase you away”She asked as we lay on the bed together.I blushed, the feel of Jeff on my skin was still too much for me to forget. Every night, when I tried to sleep, I closed my eyes and saw him there, behind my lids, his eyes blazing with passion as he took me to heights I’d never again see. I liked to think I was over the hump of forgetting him, but Agnes’s words showed me that I was nowhere near that place.“You don’t need to trouble yourself with what I’ve been up to.”Agnes snickered lightly. “I’m living vicariously through you. It’s no trouble at all.”I grinned and snuggled back against hers.“I stopped working for Jeff due to some misunderstanding.Misunderstanding? You should have stayed back and settle whatever differences you have with him.I looked away, thinking of the generous cash payment still sitting hidden under our shared mattress.“I’m really attracted to him.” I blurted it out so fast, I didn’t even ha

    “I know.”“Do you?”“What do you want from me, Virgil? The girl is gone. She’s clearly not coming back. Why are you beating that dead horse?”“You’re the one sending our guards after her.”My teeth cracked. “I didn’t send anyone after anyone,” I corrected her. “I just want to make sure she wasn’t caught.”“And what if she was?” Virgil barked with uncharacteristic anger. “Are you going to swoop into the compound and save her? Throw away the rest of your empire now?”My jaw dropped at her tone. Never had she spoken to me like that.“Nothing else has happened since the fire,” I offered awkwardly.Virgil’s eyes blazed indignantly. “Not yet.”“If something else were going to occur, it would have by now,” I said with too much confidence.I wondered if I wasn’t cursing myself further by saying those words, but I also understood the magic behind it well enough to know I wasn’t speaking from an uneducated place. If I had, in fact, opened the floodgates, one casino down would be the least of my

    “I can’t stop thinking about Selina,” Emilia said wistfully.King turned to face her. “Truthfully, I had also not expected her to do that.”“I was moved by the fact that Selina apologized.”“That’s true,” King agreed. “To be honest, she was the last person I expected to apologize to you.”After Emilia had saved Selina’s life, she had come to apologize to her. It was quite a show of humility as she had gone down on her knees and bowed to the ground before Juniper. Juniper had pleaded with her to get up, but she’d refused to get up until she had said her piece.“I’m sorry for how I treated you growing up,” Selina had said, with teary eyes. “You were right. You never killed Dad. I was always so angry at you for that night, but I never thanked you for saving me that night. And that sucks.“So thank you, Selina. Thank you. Twice you saved my life, and all I ever did was hate you and bully you. I wish I could turn back time and do things differently, but I can’t. Do you think you can forgiv

    He let out a sigh of relief, then collapsed on the bed again. His thighs burned something furious and he was afraid of moving too suddenly. He couldn’t deal with a cramp right now.Emilia’s breathing started to level out after five minutes. She had the energy of five people in bed, and no matter how tired King thought she was, she was always ready for another tumble.Her intensity and desire scared KIng, but it was still one of the things that he loved the most about her. She matched his energy in so many different ways and their time together always ended up looking like one of them had a point to prove to the other.She turned to look at him, beaming. “That was….”“Amazing?” King finished for her, chuckling.“I was going to say scary, but amazing works as well.” Emilia smiled. “Really, I thought I was going to burst an artery for a moment there.”“Lucky you,” King teased. “I think I heard a few pop.” Emilia laughed as he leaned forward to kiss her forehead, and then her lips.“Poor

    With tears in her eyes, she admitted what she had been holding back from admitting for so long. “I love you too, King.”King smiled wider and put his arms around her waist. He pulled her close, gently, and kissed her softly. Juniper melted into his embrace and forgot all about her pain and fear and frustration. She wrapped her arms around King, happy that she could hold him again.She had been so afraid of losing him. She had been so afraid of dying. And yet…here they were. She gripped him tighter, wanting to make sure he was real, not another sliver of her creative mind, a figment of her imagination. Yes, he was real. This was real.She was startled to hear voices and broke the kiss abruptly. The entire pack approached them, whooping and cheering loudly. She blushed slightly with embarrassment. She had completely forgotten all about them, and with good reason.“Wow!” Articus said. “What you did? We have never seen anything like it before. Where did you learn that from?”Emilia blinke

  • THE ALPHA KING’S WRONG MATE & THE SECRET BREEDER    WALK

    She walked slowly to the side, keeping herself on his blind side as she approached. She tried to levitate off the ground but couldn’t. All her powers had manifested physically into the spear in her hand.The only mana left in her was what powered her to move and function. She had to strike, and quickly, or she would be dead before she realized it.King had seen her get up, had seen the spear form in her hand. By some miracle, he had managed to keep his expression neutral and his eyes on the vampire.The vampire landed softly in front of him and pulled his blood spear out of the air. “So, this is how it ends.” He grinned wildly. “You fought well.”King held his gaze. “Don’t patronize me. Do what you have to do. Do you remember your promise? My life for theirs. No harm comes to my pack or my mate.”“Why the rush to die?” The vampire shook his head in mock sympathy. “Such a naive little boy. I made you no promises, fool. But I will promise you this. When I kill everyone you love and dest

    The vampire threw his head back and laughed maniacally. He held the whole town hostage. He was judge, jury, and executioner, and he had all the power. Worst of all, he wasraving mad.He formed another spear in the air and it hovered beside his head. He shoved Emilia casually, ever so absentmindedly, to the ground. She crashed into the ground and bumped her knees as she fell.Pain lanced through her. Her palms felt like she wielded two balls of fire, and she couldn’t feel her legs. She stretched out on the ground, taking stock of her injuries. She never suffered any real damage from injuries, thanks to her powers, but she still felt pain.She watched the vampire as he floated toward King. Her chest squeezed with fear when she looked at the long, thin spear that moved before him. He had a look of pure evil on his face.King, on the other hand, looked resigned to his fate. He looked like someone who was waiting to die. He looked ready for it, like he had been waiting his entire life to d

    He saw the vampire hovering high in the sky, watching the people. King had a sinking feeling in his stomach as he watched the still vampire.The vampire spread his arms to the side. At first, nothing happened. And then, the air around him shimmered. Thin, red objects appeared in the sky. Thousands of them, pointed like needles.King let out a wordless cry when he recognized the pointed objects floating in the sky. Blood spears. This was why the vampire had spent his time killing and discarding of so many animals.This was blood magic on an unprecedented scale. Cold realization washed over him. The vampire was going to wipe out the entire pack in one attack, and there was nothing that he could do to stop it.King clambered up to his feet, feeling defeated. How many of those could he block? How many people could he have saved today? He arrived at one inevitable answer. Not enough.As he had feared, the spears were turned toward the pack. His mouth ran dry and he watched wordlessly, awai

    His body trembled from pain and he could feel a few broken ribs. He got up shakily and the pain lacerated through him, even as his body started to slowly knit itself back together.Still disoriented, he looked up just in time to see a fist flashing toward his face. The vampire’s bony knuckle connected solidly with King’s jaw and sent his head reeling backward.The force of the blow caused a shock wave to spread out around King and the vampire. He went flying backward, crashing into the ground several times before he came to a stop several yards away.He got up slowly and felt a hot, white pain in his jaw and knew that it had been shattered. He limped, his front legs faltering as his shoulder had not fully healed. The vampire floated toward him slowly as he felt his jaw. The vampire grinned at him and licked his lips with a pale tongue. “My turn.”King had no idea how to escape the blows that rained down on him. He ducked as furiously as he could, but half the strikes connected, and he

    Fannar drilled Selina about what she had seen, and asked for details about her fight with the vampire.Selina cackled drily. “Fight? That wasn’t a fight. That was a beating. I barely managed to get my hands up before it ripped into me with the force of a bear and the speed of a fox. I have never seen anything like that in my life before. I think we are in big trouble.”The room fell silent and the alphas exchanged glances with each other. Asher spoke up first. “Did he give any indications why he took your sister?”Selina gave him an incredulous look. “If he did, I didn’t notice. I was too busy picking pieces off my ass off the curb.” She sighed and slumped into her seat. “What do we do?”The question hung over the room like a thick cloud of black smoke. No one had an answer to Selina’s question. No one knew how to find the vampire in the woods with powers like she had just described.Worse, they had no idea if Juniper was still alive. King didn’t want to think about what could have ha

    He frowned and narrowed his eyes at her. She shriveled under the scrutiny. He looked down at her stomach and she covered herself reflexively in horror. Knowing how he felt about the wolves, she was afraid of what he would do to her unborn child.A look of realization settled on his face. “You’re carrying a wolf child in your womb…” His voice sounded as soft as the wind rustling through leaves, barely a whisper.He let go of her wrist and took two steps back. He looked hurt and upset. “How could you? How could you allow your womb to be tainted by wolves?” And then, his eyes turned as cold as ice and his voice hardened. “I will wipe them all out. I will start with Moonwood, and then I will wipe every last one from the Starlight Valley and wider.”Emilia started to plead but he just walked backward, with a look of cold resolution on his face. Without another word, he turned around and sped off into the woods, heading toward the town.Without thinking, Emilia started running. From the den
