Finding Ryder by istrazivanje81

Jessica West is a rarity in her world, an alpha female blessed with sight. She has never been able to detect her own mate bond and believes she is mateless. Until she meets Ryder, an alpha heir from the neighboring pack, and her fated mate. The only problem is Ryder has a secret. Can the bond forged in the magic of fate and moon overcome the choices our past self made? excerpt: Anchoring into my skin, I slowly back away from my so-called mate. Distance is necessary. More necessary than breath. In fact I should stop inhaling his f***ing essence that clouds my head and entrances my wolf. "Answer me!" I whisper-scream at Ryder. "Yes." a pregnant pause hangs between us before he speaks again. "I am sorry Jessica. I didn't know. I didn't think it could be like this." His hands move between us, grasping for the invisible bond that ties us through the magic of our existence. His voice is pained. As if it hurts him to speak these words to me. How can he be in pain? How can a wolf choose another, it is beyond comprehension. It goes against our very nature. My mind is reeling. The inside of me is a mass of hurt, anger, frustration and arousal that won't go away. "What did you think? You would just come here, find your mate. Mark and mate her. Me! Mark and mate me, and then what, walk away?" I speak bitterly, spitting my words at him. The look on his face is a sharp slap on mine. A slow realization sinks in, cutting my soul irreparably. Ryder needed to mark and mate his fated mate to transition to full adult male. Without marking and mating ME he would forever stay juvenile in body. He couldn't inherit his alpha title. "Yes." it's a whisper, and yet his voice is so loud in my head, I choke on his spoken word.

The Bound Princess (Dark Romance) by AlizaJabri

"Strip." I felt like I misheard him, but his hardened features said otherwise. I gulped down the lump in my throat and moved my hands to my back to unzip my wedding dress. "Princess, I suggest you to hurry," his golden eyes bore into mine, making the bottom of my stomach drop. I turned my back to him as I pulled down the zipper, but his growl made my hands tremble, "Keep facing me." I turned to face him, suppressing my tears and holding onto what was left of my dignity. "When I said strip, it meant not a stitch or piece of cloth on your body," he said as I stepped out of my dress that pooled around my feet. "Why are you making me do this?" My voice came out shaky, and my chin wobbled. "I own you, remember, Princess?" He reminded, rolling his tongue, with an evil smirk on his face and a predatory glint in his eyes.
