Lexie is not a warrior. In fact, Lexie is a painter. Her hands are always covered in paint. Never coming off. Always there. For Lexie, painting is an escape. An escape from her pain. She paints to avoid the darkness that is in her soul. She paints to avoid looking at the bleeding wound inside her chest. She paints. To forget. But then Lexie meets someone. Her mate. He also hides a dark anger inside him. An anger at everything and the world around him. When two souls collide, how do you fix each other? Atlas isn't looking for a mate. He's seen the effect of women within his life, and how cruel they can be. But then he meets someone. Someone he doesn't want to meet. A painter soul. And a warrior's heart. How will the two collide? ***Note this can be read as a stand-alone story. Moon Child can be found on world_joy_ bio page - feel free to read it to get other characters background story.

There are certain things in life that everyone knows. When asked though, how they came to possess knowledge of this information, a confused look will enter their face. Because there are just certain things in life- certain facts and pieces of knowledge - that are universal. Fact number one. In order to be Alpha in the Alba Rosa pack, one must first challenge and defeat the Alpha. Fact number two. It's a trick. Because only one in possession of Alpha Blood has any hope of defeating the Alpha. Fact number three. No one challenges the Alpha. But there is another fact. An additional piece of knowledge that many know of, yet never express out loud. Fact number four. These three facts do not apply to someone like Soraya.

Belle Seleva and her father just moved to New York City so her father could start working at a international technology company, Beast Inc. Belle, more interested in her studies, visits her father purely to use the company's massive library on one of the top floors. It's in the library she first meets Elias Adams, the young CEO who inherited the company from his deceased father. What Belle doesn't know, is that Elias is close to losing his biggest benefactors if he can't find himself a wife to tie him, and his temper, down. He's angered more than a few people, including his workers. His wife would do more than keep his company's finances stable, it would pacify his workers if he had a woman at his side to help him lead the company. So when her father accidentally destroys a prototype and ends up in the hospital with a comma, Elias offers Belle a deal: Come work for me at my mansion, and I'll pay off your father's medical bills. Belle, not seeing another choice, accepts his offer and moves into his mansion. But another problem arises when Daniel Gaston, Elias's business enemy, tries to woo Belle into marrying him; bribing her with the medicine that could get her father out of the hospital faster. As she adapts into her role as part maid, part secretary, part business correspondent, she tries to battle the honor she feels towards Elias and the want to save her father, wondering if maybe there's a little more to the man who hides in his office every day. #399 in Chicklit November 19, 2017
