"I hate you, Jace. I wish we had never met. I want you to leave me alone, forever." Jace's eyes narrow, his lips pressing into a thin, hard line. His hand tightens around my neck, just enough to send a cold shiver down my spine as I struggle to catch my breath. I avert my gaze, focusing anywhere but on him, desperately trying to steady my nerves.
"You don't hate me, Anabella..." His voice trails off as he grips my jaw, forcing me to meet his eyes. "In fact, I bet you're aching for me right now." He whispers, his voice dripping with seduction.
Anabella had always dreamed of living on the West Coast. A few months after turning 23, she makes the leap and moves to San Diego, California, following a tough breakup with her long-term boyfriend. She lands a well-paying job as a barista and, to her delight, finds a best friend-something she had always deeply craved.
Then, she meets her best friend's cousin, Jace Easton. By day, Jace runs a successful business, but by night, he's a thrill-seeking street racer. Anabella promises herself she'll stay away from him, but the magnetic pull of his dangerous allure makes it impossible. Jace, on the other hand, has his sights set on her-and only her. What Anabella doesn't realize yet is that she's falling for the devil himself. And sometimes, you can't help who you're drawn to.

"Why are you following me actually?..." I ask as look at the man in front of me with a worried expression. "Because I want you as mine and whatever you say won't stop me." He says sternly. "And what if I say no?" I ask. "Then I'll have to take you by force, despite your screams and pleads" he says still staring into my eyes. "By force it is then."

The Dark Pact 1
"Why are you late?" He questions, sounding exactly as I remember "You know, traffic." I apologize, making a turn to trudge to him majestically. "If you say so," he nods, the night preventing my view of his face "Thank you, Azazel," I mutter, my tone neither high nor low. "Why did you want to see me?" He polls, his voice resounding through the dark abandoned warehouse. "Yes Azazel," I smirk and try to hide the slight fear of reject nagging at the back of my head. "What is it about?" He implores his arm going to rub his prominent chin as he fixes a stare at me. "I want my soul back," I inform, matching his gaze with mine. "How do you plan on getting it back?" He quizzes, stepping a few inches my way into the light. "With a deal Azazel, or more specifically, a pact," I tell using all my energy to stop my feet from moving backward. "That is very difficult Xander, you sealed your vow with a drop of blood," he argues, the moonlight falling more on his face as he tilts his head upwards. "And I'm here to make and seal another," I converse awaiting a reply. "No, you got what you wanted, to be rich, famous, and loved, what else do you desire?" He asks, his supernatural blue eyes having a scary glint to them. "My soul," I repeat. "Plus I know you love making deals Azazel, no matter how you try to hide it, I see the excitement and mischief you try to conceal." "Same way I see the little fear of rejection bubbling within you, I detect it in your eyes, I hear it in your heartbeat, and the blood pumping through your veins," he sneers in response, squaring his wide shoulders to come off as intimidating. "Hence we understand each other well, we know you've got more to win than lose, and I've got more to lose than win," I confess. "You are right," he lets out in a husky tone, his red lips curving into a hint of a smile. "So what do you say demon, you in?" I invite, my eyebrow raised "I am," he gleams. "What's this pact about?"Complete
My Alpha Mate
"I now pronounce you husband and wife," Said His Father Smiling. I sat and wept in The back of the whole congregation. I watched as they leaned forward to kiss each other. It wasn't over yet. "Now for your final words to the congregation? " His father asked. Jace scoped the crowd until his eyes landed on me. He had a devilish grin plastered on his face. I knew what was coming next. "I Jace Hunter, REJECT my mate Jade Smith," He said without hesitation. I felt a disconnection. I began to beg the fates to stop him from doing this, but they even cheered for the two. He picked her up off Her feet and walked towards the doors. I could feel my heart racing, then slowing down rapidly. I couldn't breathe. Everyone was cheering for the two, then they all looked at me and laughed. Like I was just a joke like I was nothing but a fool. I don't know why I showed up. I stood up to leave and I felt sick to my stomach, and like I was slowly dying. I fell to the floor and I cried and cried. Everything was happening so fast. I knew he was in bed with her already, I could feel it, but I felt the opposite of what people described as the opposite sensational feeling. I felt pain, with every stroke. I felt like my insides were being torn out of my body. I lied there, in immense pain as everyone laughed. Their laughter was growing louder and louder. I didn't think it could get any worse than this. Then he mated her.. I could feel my world slowly crashing as my hips went ablaze and my insides felt like they were on fire. This is what hell feels like. It was supposed to be me! Not her, but she won. She got exactly what she wanted...Complete

It wasn't until he took a step towards her did the gravity of situation descended upon and even then she couldn't do anything but shake in fear. She knew making a run for it won't do a thing, calling was not an option and if she screamed...she opened her mouth to shrill but a meek plea came out. Her body's lack of response terrified her, tears gathered in her orbs with horrible anticipation. With his each step nearer she gripped the frame of her window tighter hoping to keep her balance. It took him three steps to be inches away from her body. He slowly took his suit jacket off, making himself comfortable as he amusingly watched her shaken face. She was so horror-stricken to even look at his face. She gulped as his hand cupped her neck in a gentle grip, guiding her eyes to his. His eyes slipped from the hold of her eyes to her lips in a second. She grew self conscious all over again. His heated gaze on her lips was unwavering. In the moment of bewilderment and growing self awareness her tongue unconsciously wiped her lips wet and it was all it took for him to descent on her lips.

He paused, rolling my stiff nipples between his fingers, tugging them lightly. "Done it in front of a man?" I gasped sharply.
