a rabbit down in a bite

To the Valencia family, love is a weakness that cannot be accepted, and happiness is just an illusion that can be bought with money. This was the way Ashley was brought up, and she has to follow this way of the Valencia’s because expecting love or happiness is like she is trying to be ungrateful to her family since they adopted her when she was just 3. What will she do when the self-made billionaire and CEO of Stone Tech Ltd., Liam Abbot, wants her? She has been so used to shutting everyone off that she doesn’t know how to deal with the fact that someone actually wants her even if he only wants her contract marriage with her. Will she give in to him or is her quiet and lonely life as the Valencia's adopted daughter too good to pass up?

My mother was a traitor. To my pack, I am no better. I'm used to being overlooked. I've been unwanted from the time I was born, and my pack, River Crest, made it abundantly clear every chance they could that I was not welcome. No one and nowhere was safe. I've spent my entire life alone, with no family, no friends, and now, no mate. At 24 years old, unmated and unwanted, I've accepted that I must be one of the mateless. Wretched, forsaken wolves who are cursed to live out their lives alone. Or worse. The legends and histories claim that being a mateless wolf is worse than death. They suggest choosing a mate and forming a bond before madness sets in or the pack rejects me. But I've been rejected. I'm used to the feeling. I thrive in it. Because the more they push me away, the less pain and humiliation I have to face. If I can make it another year unmated, I could face banishment, and I'll finally be free. That's my goal. And I'll be damned if I let anyone get in my way. Even my mate.  

A war . . " War does not determine who is right - only who is left. " A rivalry . . . " Tension, in the long run, is a more dangerous force than any feud known to man. " A lesson learned . . . " Everything does not happen according to a plan, and you learn your lessons the hard way. " That maybe sometimes, just sometimes, things are better left alone than changed. ------ The werewolves and vampire ( all of whom are, naturally, ridiculously sexy ) have been at war for centuries. The only end to this war is death. Unfortunately, the vampire crown prince, AKA the teenage dirtbag of his clan, and the alpha werewolf's daughter, the not so sweet-heart of her pack, have been meeting in secret to fight and show off along with the other teenagers in their groups. In the process, their mutual hatred/little rivalry turn into something more. But it is forbidden, unheard of, taboo, and very much unnatural for that to happen, well according to their parents.

"My plan was reckless but simple: find a pure-blooded werewolf, seduce him, and let him mark me. TONIGHT."

But on their anniversary, he shattered her heart, choosing his fated mate over her. With time slipping away, Flora makes a desperate choice. One night. One stranger. One bite to break the curse for good. But the werewolf she seduces isn’t just anyone—he’s Alaric Blackwood, the powerful Alpha of Moonvalley Pack. When he marks her, the curse vanishes… only to return three days later, stronger than before. The Moon Goddess has punished her, but for what? Now, with her life hanging by a thread, Flora must uncover the dark truth behind her curse before it’s too late. But as she searches for answers, Alaric refuses to let her go. Why does he act like she’s his? And what if the one destined to save her… is the one she’s trying to escape?
