He was a beast. Composed of nothing but sheer brutality, masculinity and power. A mate was the last thing on his mind. . . until he laid his eyes on her. [ influenced by the story of Hades and Persephone ]

"River, I...I didn't realize..." I say, and before I can form the rest of my sentence, he strides towards me. I immediately step away and feel the rough bark of one of the nearby trees press into my back. One of his hands grips my jaw, so firm that I wouldn't be able to turn my head away; even if I wanted to. My whole body thrums with desire, his other hand planting itself on my waist. His onyx brown eyes bore into me; it's like being peeled back to my very inner layers, like he can see every part of me. I feel my core light up with want, my breath catching as he stares down at me, angry, lustful, intense. "You are mine." He growls, his tone rough and thick with possessiveness. I'm not prepared for what happens next. MATURE CONTENT 18+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What do you do when everyone and everything you know is destroyed in front of you?

A dark instinct thundered through Hunter and he claimed what was his from the beginning. The Centauri family has been a strong threshold for all werewolves to follow as an example. Their territory was the safest and largest; women could walk alone at night and kids could freely play without having to look over their shoulder. These five siblings stood united and that's because they always trusted each other, and more importantly, they loved each other... even more than their own father. However, behind that prestigious name hid many secrets and bloodshed. Hunter Centauri was a beta and a brother. That was all that was required from him, until his mate appeared in front of his eyes. Hunter didn't know that this is what he longed for years; a woman just for him to claim. He craved her beyond anything else and he would make her his. Hailey Swan moved to the Centauri pack a year ago. She loved her job at the institute for wolves and admired the Centauri family. A family is what she craved beyond anything else since she was left all alone from a young age. And then Hunter Centauri stole her breath away but was she ready to face the secrets that family held.

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*

" Get up and try to look somewhat nice, you waste of space," says Alpha Dean. I just received my daily beating, how am I supposed to cover up my cuts and bruises. As if he read my mind Alpha Dean comes in and throws a bag of makeup at my face. I get up, being careful not to hurt my newly forming bruises, and get in the shower it automatically relaxes me. I put on a simple pink dress, braid my hair, and start working on my makeup. It was hard to say the least, but when I get done it doesn't look that bad. I walk in the ballroom just as I heard Alpha Dean say"Ladies you have been asked here today, because my friend Alpha Clayton is looking for his mate," whispers spread around the ballroom," so stand in line, and let the search begin." My wolf, Elle has been on edge lately, which is surprising because she usually rarely speaks, due to the lack of food. When Alpha Clayton walks in, it was like the world stopped. He was so fine, he had chocolate brown skin, straight white teeth, chiseled face, and an 8 pac you could see through his shirt. Man, whoever gets him as a mate is lucky. Each time he would pass by one of the women they would cry out or just walk away trying to hold in tears. As he kept getting closer to where I was standing, he stopped at the women next to me. A wave of disappointment hit me, just as I was about to walk away. Someone grabbed my arm and said the words I thought id never hear, "Mine".

She was destined to be Luna... until the past walked back into the room. On the night she is meant to finally bond with her Alpha, everything falls apart. The girl who once stole her childhood-who stole her family's love, who abandoned her to die-returns and instantly becomes the center of everyone's world again. And in one heartbreaking moment of hesitation... she sees the truth. She will never be anyone's first choice in this pack. So she makes the bravest decision of her life- she walks away. No more begging. No more proving herself. No more breaking just to be seen. But the moment she chooses herself, the world she leaves behind turns chaotic. The Alpha who wavered becomes desperate to claim her. The family that ignored her wants her back. And the girl who once destroyed her life returns with new manipulations and old lies. For the first time, she's done being silent. Done being replaced. Done being the sacrifice. If they want their Luna back, they'll have to earn her. But even if they do... will her heart ever trust them again?

I let his fingers slip between my lips and taste myself once again. "This is what you will do with me" he whispered looking at my lips. "You will wrap your lips around it" I followed his instructions and wrapped my lips around his two fingers. I looked at his eyes and I immediately found his gaze which was torn between my lips and eyes. He inhaled again before continuing speaking. "You will slowly lick and suck it" he winked with a grin. "And you will try your best to fully take me in your mouth like this" he said, pushing his fingers even more inside my mouth. He grabbed my chin with his free hand. "Isn't that right, Rea? You will try to take me all?" He slowly asked and I nodded bringing my own fingers to my clit, trying to touch it the same way he did. He looked down to what I was doing and grinned. "Good girl, but I will continue with that" he told me, removing his fingers from my mouth and grabbing my wrist to stop me. *** Finding a wounded man in the middle of the wood was the last thing Rea had imagined to see during her stroll. She had never thought her innocent gesture of rescuing and healing him would have turned her life upside down. He claimed her as his mate. A ruthless predator that enjoyed the kill and shedding blood around for his own purpose. He was part of a species her whole family told her to stay away from. Werewolves. And she discovered soon how she was mated to one of the strongest one. Callendon. Her personal nightmare. MATURE CONTENT - ONLY 18 + FOR MATURE AUDIENCE

This is book one of the series. Jordan shifts slightly in my lap so she can see my face. "Liam, I want you to mark me." She bluntly states and exposes her neck to me, so I can mark her. A wave of confusion comes over me and I tilt my head looking at her. "Are you sure that is what you want?" I look at her neck where my mark should be and feel my canines extending. Jordan simply smiles and nods her head. I readjust our bodies, so she is underneath me. I lean down and softly kiss her lips. The kiss burns my lips and not in the normal mate bond way. I pull away and rub my lips trying to get the sensation to go away. Jordan stares at me with her eyes squinted. I look her over and see nothing short of the perfect mate I am used to, however, something isn't right. Jordan pulls me down closer to her and starts leaving little kisses all over my body. Every place her lips touch immediately burns. I push her away and move towards the bottom of the bed. She sits up and moves to come closer to me. I move away again. "Liam, don't you want to mark me? Don't you want this?" Jordan looks at me pouting. This is when I realize what is going on. I smile and move to her. "Of course, I want to my queen," I coo at her and grab her wrists and pin them behind her head. My hands are burning from touching her, but I fight through it. I start leaving kisses all along her neck and pause where my canines are supposed to sink into her neck. Jordan lets out a throaty moan and I can smell her arousal. I kiss up and towards the middle of her throat. My canines extend and I bite into her throat and rip it out. Her eyes fill with pain and she struggles before the life is finally drained out of her. I drop the muscle and flesh from my mouth and let out a howl of victory.

"Get out." A voice suddenly boomed coming down the stairs, Rachel. What is she doing here? I thought Hunter had banished her. "Rachel." I whispered as soon as she was now face to face with me. "Babe." That voice. That deep alluring voice I had miss so much. I couldn't help but smile when I saw him walking down the stairs. He was walking towards us and once he reached me, I was going to throw my arms around him that is until he threw his arms around Rachel giving her a lingering kiss on her lips which only made my lips burned. My jaw droped and Rachel's lips smirked glaring at me. What the fuck is going on? "Hunter!" I yelled. Pulling him away from Rachel, Hunter glared at me with cold emotionless eyes. I didn't or couldn't see an ounce of sympathy towards his mate. "TY." He spoke my name coldly, "What are you doing here?" Is this some sort of joke. He asks me what I'm doing here? I thought since we never seen each other for a month he would be glad to see me, instead I find him lip locking with another she-wolf. "What the hell is this?" I growled. "What is what?" He asked confused. "Don't play stupid Hunter, this. You are kissing Rachel in front of me, your mate." Hunter chuckled, "My mate? You must be mistaken but Rachel is my mate."
