"You're not attracted to me? You were all over me just a second ago, before you realized who I am.” I replied. "I… I have a guy back home that…” She paused, trying to find the words to say. “I would only tarnish your good reputation.” Is this her excuse to get me to leave her alone? “You think I’m too good for you?” I laughed. “What the hell Willow? We haven't seen each other in 10 years. You don't even know me.” I grabbed her waist and pulled her into me. Smiling when I noticed her heart rate increase. I leaned down so she could feel my breath caress her neck. My lips grazed the skin of her ear, and she shivered as I whispered, "I'll show you just how good I am.” She didn't have time to protest when I moved to connect our lips. She gasped, and I slid my tongue into her mouth. Her will to resist me failed, and she kissed me back, charging our attraction and electrifying our kiss. Getting the reaction that I wanted, I reluctantly pulled away. Still high on her, I breathlessly stated my claim. “F**k this other guy!”

Giovanna (Gina) Akir has a reputation that she's proud of. She's worked hard for years to cultivate this reputation, so why is she Going Rogue? "I pride myself on my reputation. I know that probably sounds strange coming from someone who is known as the pack s**t , but I’ve worked for a few years to establish myself as the woman who can help you deal with your stress and pain without adding to it. Becoming the pack s**t was never a goal of mine, and honestly, I hate the title, but it won’t deter me from what I do. My position in the pack does not mean that I’ll sleep with just anyone for any reason. I think of it like a service. I offer physical comfort to those in need, and although I don’t receive money for what I do, I like to think that I add value to the pack by helping our warriors to get out of their own head so they can do what they need to do." ***This is the story of a side character from my first book "Second Chance Luna" Each book will have some spoilers for the other, but you do not need to read either one to understand the other.***

"Bind her up," I heard a woman's stern command. They roughly shoved me to the ground, placing my arms on a bench and tying them with ropes. "It’s an honor for you to be a surrogate candidate for our King! HOW DARE YOU try to escape?! Now you’ll pay the price!" As his partner handed him a pair of pliers, he flashed me a purely evil smile. My heart sank into my stomach. The king? Surrogate?! I had no idea what he was talking about... "NO PLEASE! Listen, you’ve got the wrong person..." They didn't even let me finish before they pulled out the nail on my index finger. "Ah-----" I thought I knew pain, but his actions proved I didn't. I had never experienced such torture; my helpless screams filled the entire dungeon. Tears streamed down my face, and my hands were soaked with innocent blood. The woman sat not far away, legs crossed, smiling at me. Soon, she raised her hand to signal everyone to leave and then crouched in front of me, slowly untying the ropes around me. "I know it's not you, but a she-wolf escaped. We'll use you to replace her. So, if you want to survive here, shut your mouth and do as you're told."
