Gorgeous cover by @DNB2k16 There comes a time when you get used to the pain. You don't feel hurt nor surprised anymore. You just stop caring altogether. I don't know what other's think of it, but to me it's convenient. It's good that I don't act weak anymore and bawl my eyes out at every twitch. I feel content because I can make the people who hurt me pay back for it with interests. I used to be innocent and forgiving but now, my eyes have opened. I have experienced it several times that some people do not deserve mercy, but I chose to look the other side. However, as they say, there comes a time, a person in your life who changes everything. You love them. You adore them. You act your best to please them and on the dark side, you can't forgive the ones who put even a scratch on them. That person came in my life too, but this time, I couldn't look the other side and forgive and forget those who took him away from me. My only strength. My only warmth. My only person. I may be obsessed, but I don't care. For me that person has always been more than a soul mate and a beloved. He is my LIFE. And what do you when your life is endangered? You do not sit still. You strive to survive and if instincts call for it, then you attack! I learned my lesson. I'm not going to simply let it go. I'm not going to be merciful. I'm not going to value stupid sacred bonds of my race. I'm not going to think about my mission. I'm only going to do what I'm supposed to do to get him back. I'm not going to hold back anymore and if the situation arises then I'll go against anyone even if he is the King of Werewolves. I will use anyone if it means I can get one step close to him. I don't mind shedding blood anymore because I can overcome any fear, but not the fear of losing him. I won't let any bond hold me back anymore. The only bond I care about is with him. The one I chose for myself. The bond of pure love and hope. "The day will come soon when we'll reunite again. I promise."

Anna Rafferty left New York two years ago to find herself. Not because she was running. Not because she was afraid. But because somewhere between the violence, the secrets, and the trauma that changed her life, she'd lost herself. For two years, she built a life on her own terms. She traveled. She healed. She learned to preserve things most people considered beyond repair, restoring rare books and forgotten stories while trying not to think about her own. Because some trauma isn't dealt with. It's buried. Returning to New York was supposed to be simple. Be closer to her family. Purchase the rare bookstore she'd fallen in love with years ago. Continue building the future she'd fought so hard for. The only complication... Julian Mercer. The powerful, devastatingly handsome and infuriating Don of New York, a man she should stay far away from. A man her sister can't stand. A man she hasn't seen since the night she left the city. Unfortunately for her, Julian Mercer has never forgotten a debt or Anna. What starts as a favor quickly becomes stolen moments, lingering glances, and a connection neither of them seem capable of walking away from. The problem? Julian is a man built from secrets and Anna has spent the last two years burying her own. When a string of brutal murders rocks the city-random, violent, and seemingly unconnected-every road somehow leads back to one person. Anna. As detectives begin circling, asking questions she can't answer and digging for secrets she can't share, Anna finds herself caught between the life she's carefully built and a past determined to drag her back. And the closer the danger gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the man she's spent two years trying to forget. Because Julian Mercer has always been dangerous. The difference is that now Anna has something to lose. Not her safety. Not her freedom. But her heart.

The Goddess of the moon, Diana, originally created the Lycans. Seven of them; two females and five males. They were meant to rule over the earth, with peace and harmony. Diana soon realized that something with that much power couldn't possibly stay peaceful. No, the Lycans soon became power hungry. They took over the seven continents, creating seven kingdoms. They ruled over the humans but that wasn't enough for them. They wanted to rule each other. Diana became angered with her children. She took away the originals ability to breed. She also recreated them but with less power, the werewolves. While the originals could no longer breed, their children could. The only problem was for a female Lycan, the most powerful and rare Lycan, to be born is of two Lycan parents. Maria and Belinda, the two original female Lycans, were each mated to a male Lycan. Both reproduced one child before they could no longer. Anastasia Kingston, daughter of Harold and Maria Kingston, is the last female Lycan. Xander Valentino, son of Marco and Belinda Valentino, is the most powerful male Lycan. He is feared by many and loved by his pack. Anastasia has been on the run for centuries, hiding from those who hunt her. They seek her power. Many male lycans search for her, wanting her offspring as their heir. Wanting her power for their own. No one has been able to find her. Ever.

Soul Mates A bond stronger than any other. A bond forged with love and resilience, respect and care, in immortality and for eternity. Soul mates are your other half. The one made exclusively for you. The one that completes you and your existence. The one who makes you believe in love at first sight and cheesy forevers. The one perfect love story. But not all tales end with 'Happily Ever After'; some end in rejection and tragedy. Like the rejection by a particular Alpha. Like the tragedy the Alpha inflicted. All upon one person - his soul mate. All for one crime - for being his soul mate. However, some stories end simply for new ones to emerge from the ashes. A new story of renewed hope, trust, loyalty, and friendship. A story of two lost souls, trapped in darkness, alone and afraid. A story of courage. Of determination. Of a connection that transcends all bonds and pain. A story shaped in the crucible of suffering, and destined to endure. It's a story of true love.

Mia Cherie X Aaron Valentino I gasp into his mouth, my hands fisting in his soaked shirt, pulling him closer, needing him closer and needing to feel every inch of him against me. His tongue sweeps into my mouth, and I moan, my knees going weak. But he doesn't let me fall. His arms wrap around my waist, holding me up, grounding me, anchoring me to him. The rain pours down around us, but all I feel is heat, his body pressed against mine and his hands in my hair, on my back, everywhere. When he finally pulls back, we're both panting, our foreheads pressed together. "You're mine" he murmurs, his voice rough and possessive. "Say it." "I'm yours" I whisper. "Say it again." "I'm yours, Aaron." Tropes: Badboy x Goodgirl Rich mmc x scholarship student fmc Kill anyone who touches her (literally) 👀 HEA

Best ratings: #1 in #ya, #sexscenes and #mates, #4 in #romance - - - - - PLOT: LILA KING is somewhat notorious in her old wolfpack - as a child she led a rebel crew of delinquents who caused havoc in the reserve and fought vampires. She was one of the best fighters in the pack, but following her best friend's death at 18 she left the pack to live with humans. For her 25th birthday, she finally returns, but only to introduce her werewolf family to a human fiance. What no one expects, though, is that at the party her family throws...she will encounter her destined mate. He is no other than DARIUS CARTER - the new alpha of the biggest wolf-pack in the region, holding a bad rep for killing the former alpha to assume his righteous position. But there is much more to him than just a pretty face and a fabulous six-pack... Can Lila fight destiny? Does she even want to? And why are those vampires starting to appear again with her return? ---EXCERPT: I hear people saying my name through the muffled sounds of my heartbeat banging in my ears. Then suddenly everyone in the room disappears and there are no voices. The only sound is that of his footsteps and the only scent is the most beautiful, sensual, masculine smell I have ever felt. Darius approaches me slowly at two feet away but doesn't stop. As everything seems slow-motioned, I try to step back to avoid a collision, but my feet won't listen. Instead, I take a step forward and we meet at only an inch apart. He looks at me so intensely, so passionately, that I feel devoured. Then he speaks. "Hello, mate." ____________ previous name: *ALPHA CARTER*
