Whenever he asked why all he got was the same answer on loop. "I was merely a rabbit in the eyes of wolves. Any longer and they would've devoured me." Then she'd give him a broad grin. "What they didn't know is that I was the hunter hidden in the hide of a rabbit." 

~~~~~~~~~

She got away only to be forcefully pulled back. That horrid place she vowed to never return to. At the beck and call of their rules and expectations. She'd tear it apart before ever bending and breaking. 

Vasilías promised someone important she'd save lives, not take them away. But how far is she willing to go? Far enough if it meant they were safe. Someone who was untouched by the filth of the palace. They didn't deserve the life she was forced to live. Before taking a knife to her hair and crying out no more. If she was to return and there was no escape. She'd clean it of its corruption and rebuild everything anew. 

"If that's the case I'll take the throne. I'll become a son if I must."

Goddess of Ice, Alyja has always dreamed of the day she find her mate, but what happens when everything she had hoped for is the complete opposite? Requested by her mate's mother to aid her during illness, Alyja being the kind she-wolf she is can't reject the request.

Once she starts peeking through doors she shouldn't. What secrets will unfold? ************************************************************************************************** "I hate you!" "I hate you too!," he spat throwing the glass of liquor against the wall. Shattered glass spilled all over the wooden floor. I flinch from the sudden act I wasn't at all expecting from an alpha. Alphas are suppose to be mature, well behaved, and protective of their empire. Instead this alpha is the opposite of all these traits. "Why would the moon pair me up with someone like you? You're so mean," I mumble holding back my tears. "I suggest you go run to alpha Edon because I don't want you as my mate and never will!" With that said, alpha Luka turns his heel furiously exiting out of the room slamming the door shut leaving me frozen to the spot unable to speak as I process what he just said. Out of all the mean remarks he's thrown at me before. This one right here stabbed my fragile heart. What did I do to deserve such a mate like him? I may be the goddess of ice, but my heart isn't cold. • Book Two in the Alpha Series • (Not necessary to read the first book, Alpha Lysias. However, if interested it's available on my profile.)

BOOK 1 OF THE BIG BAD WOLF SERIES: "R-Roman, stop," He lingers on each kiss, teasing me with his tongue. Sparks erupt. "You make me so damn angry," He says huskily, fanning his warm breath on my neck, making another shiver course through me. He places a kiss right below my ear, and I visibly shudder. He notices. He starts attacking the spot with his lips, and I bite my lip hard trying hard to not let the moan escape me. I involuntarily close my eyes. Everywhere he touches me sparks erupt. He starts sucking on the spot. "R-Roman, pl-please, st-top," I push lightly on his chest, but he doesn't even flinch. I didn't want this to happen, not when he was just being a total asshole 2 seconds ago. "Roman," I practically moan out his name. He starts gently biting me, and I melt into him. I put my hands on his shoulders and push him again, slightly harder this time, but as he keeps attacking my neck, I feel as though all the energy has been drained from me. "You're mine," he says huskily in between kisses. I self consciously nod. "Only mine-" He starts kissing and sucking my jaw, and I refrain from letting out a moan. "And you'll never talk to Dimitri or any of the warriors again." I open my eyes wide at his comment, and I push him back with all my strength. *** They said the Big Wolf was bad... They said no one could tame him... That his heart was made of ice... That he couldn't love anyone and no one could love him. His pack was ruthless... Killed without a second thought. They said Little Red was Human.... They said she was shy and quiet.... They said her innocence was like no other... That she was pack less. Helped without a thought... At least... That's what they say... Let me tell you the real story... *** WARNING: THIS BOOK HAS STRONG LANGUAGE, SEXUAL THEMES, ABUSE, VIOLENCE, KIDNAPPING, DEATH AND HARASSMENT.

"𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐜𝐚𝐠𝐞, 𝐬𝐨 𝐢𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐞." He glared at her with a cold, harsh expression and said, "What am I supposed to do with you, my doll?" Fear washed over her, but she gathered her strength and begged, "Please let me go. My children need me. They're so young, and they can't survive without me, please." Tears streamed down her beautiful amber eyes, but she tried to hold back her emotions in front of him. The thought of her little ones made her feel suffocated and hopeless. The man seemed moved by her tears, but his face remained bitter as he said, "You should have thought about this before you ran away with that bastard." Shocked and hurt, she shot back, "Do you even hear what you're saying? Do you have any proof of these accusations?" She continued, "How could you think so little of me? We've been together for almost four years. I always believed you loved me." Tears filled her eyes as she added, "This isn't love-love is built on trust. I trusted you completely, never questioning why you came home late, why you seemed to hate me, or why you left me on our wedding night. Yet here you are, ruining my reputation without any proof." He ignored her desperate questions and tightened his grip on her neck, his eyes turning red with fury. "Trust? You talk about trust. It was my faith in love that kept you alive. If anyone else were in your place, I'd kill them without a second thought." She struggled to escape his choking hold, fighting desperately. Suddenly, he released her and walked away, his anger clear as he never looked back. Coughing and gasping for air, she lay there, her body trembling. Tears blurred her vision as she felt like a broken soul. The nightmare her life had become seemed overwhelming. 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤-𝟏: 𝐌𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
