I have a secret.

A secret that no-one besides my boyfriend, my mother and I know. A secret from my past which has me trapped in a relationship from hell.

Refusing to tell a soul, I've kept it balled up inside for the past few years, trying to seem composed for the world while my reality was the complete opposite. I gave up on any hopes of a different life. A life where love and happiness existed. Alex, personally saw to it himself. He made sure it was drilled deep within my brain. This was the hand that life had dealt me. The life I learned to accept.

Until the day I bumped into Nick.

A gorgeous man who's haunted my thoughts and awakened my desires. A man, whose persistence turned my world upside down, more than it already was. The same man who also happened to be my boss and had a secret of his own. A secret that I couldn't decipher, even when it stood right in front of me. A secret that would blow me away.

My name is Tara and this is my story.

My Destined Alpha Mate by KaseyG94

I was walking down the hallway when all of the Sudden I feel a hand grab me and pull me into a janitors closet . I let out a scream , not knowing who had pulled my arm .

"Mate" "What's your name beautiful " - Souline ... Souline Mikealson - "Beautiful " He just started at me for who knows how long , not that I could look away ... his god like features stopped me from looking away . He leaned down to my neck and I could feel he's breath on my neck causing me to shiver , I turned my head to give him more access. He kissed my neck causing me to let out a quiet moan . He looked at me in the eyes and then walked out . ........................................

Entwined ✔️ by omaomagad

They took everything from her ...the damned Werewolves. Her mother, her coven, her freedom. And then, she found out she was the mate of the Alpha prince whose father destroyed her life as she knew it. She was the one. She was fated for him, but could she handle all that being his mate would entail? Could she handle the politics? The jealously? The sex? 〰️〰️〰️ I was determined to ensure he couldn't ignore me. Looking around nervously to make sure everyone was still preoccupied, I removed my flats from my right foot. Then I leaned closer and found his leg again. I ran my stockinged toes over his ankle, moving it up, slowly. He looked at me again, sharply, his eyes darkening. I gave him an innocent smile and looked away. I continued to move my foot up, higher and higher, ignoring his eyes. Soon, my foot found his already hard erection. Good goddess, he was always ready. Gently, I pressed the curve of my foot against him, feeling the fast pulse of his erection. I heard his sharp intake of breath and glanced up at him. His eyes were now black with arousal but he was looking at me intensely, like he wanted me to stop. Tough luck. 〰️〰️〰️ Started: 25 June, 2020 ...... Rated R

Hiding from my Mate (COMPLETED) by alw_13

When your mate is an Alpha and you're the rogue that causes all the trouble, you can't exactly go up to him and say "How's it going big guy! Even though I've been causing trouble in your pack and school, I'm sure you'll love to know that I'm your destiny for the next fifty years until you end up 6 feet under." So no. I wasn't going to tell him that I was the future Luna of his pack. Who in their right mind would do that? Unfortunately, matters of the heart is something the brain doesn't seem to understand. ** © alw_13 All rights reserved *Cover picture found on Google images, edited.
