Chapter: CHAPTER 90NatashaThe house was in absolute chaos, which meant it was a perfectly normal Sunday afternoon in the Volkov household, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.I watched our four children tear through the main room in some elaborate game that seemed to involve a lot of shrieking and laughter."Mama, tell Viktor he can't change the rules halfway through the game!" Anastasia complained, her hands on her hips in a gesture so reminiscent of me that Mikhail had laughed the first time he saw it."Viktor, stop changing the rules." I called out from where I was setting the table for dinner, knowing full well he wouldn't listen because our oldest was as stubborn as his father."The rules are fine!" Viktor protested. At sixteen, he was nearly as tall as Mikhail and spent most of his time training with the other young warriors, but he still loved playing with his younger siblings when he thought no one was watching."The rules are terrible." Twelve-year-old Dmitri announced, and then the arg

Chapter: CHAPTER 89NatashaThe pain started just before dawn. It was a deep cramping in my lower back that woke me from restless sleep, and I knew immediately what it was even though this was my first child. I was a healer and I had helped deliver enough babies to recognize the signs. I reached over and shook Mikhail's shoulder, trying to keep my voice calm even though my heart was racing."Mikhail, wake up. It's time."He was on his feet in an instant, looking around wildly as if he could fight the labor pains off for me. "Time? Already? Are you sure? What do you need? Should I get Elena? The midwife? Both?""Breathe," I told him, even as another contraction rippled through me and I had to grip the edge of the bed. "Yes, get Elena and the midwife, and maybe some clean towels and water, but don't panic. We have time."He pulled on his clothes in a rush, nearly falling over in his haste, and I would have laughed if I wasn't trying to breathe through another wave of pain. "I'll be right back. Don't hav

Chapter: CHAPTER 88MikhailI noticed every change in Natasha’s body, cataloging each one like a treasure, and I couldn't help but stare at her constantly.Pregnancy made Natasha even more beautiful than she had been before and I hadn't thought that was possible. The first sign was her breasts, growing fuller and more sensitive, and then came the soft rounding of her belly that started so subtle I might have missed it if I wasn't paying attention, but I was always paying attention to my mate."You're staring again." She said one morning as she dressed for work, catching my eyes in the reflection of our small mirror."Can't help it," I admitted, moving behind her to wrap my arms around her waist, my hands settling on the small swell of her stomach. "You're carrying our pup. How am I supposed to not stare at that?""Most men don't find their pregnant wives so fascinating." She said, but she was smiling and leaning back into me."Then most men are idiots," I said, pressing a kiss to her neck. "You're glowi

Chapter: CHAPTER 87NatashaIt started with my morning tea tasting wrong, and then the smell of the healing herbs at the center making my stomach turn in ways they never had before.I thought perhaps I was coming down with something, except I was a healer and I knew I wasn't sick. My breasts had been tender for days and sensitive enough that even Mikhail's gentlest touch made me wince.I had brushed it off as lingering effects from my heat until I realized my heat had been nearly a month ago and these symptoms were getting worse, not better.I was standing in the healing center's supply room when it hit me and I had to grab onto the shelf to steady myself because suddenly, everything made sense.I couldn't breathe properly and my hands were shaking as I pressed them to my stomach."Natasha?" Elena's voice came from the doorway. "You look pale. Are you alright?""I think—" I started, then stopped, because saying it out loud would make it real and I wasn't ready for that yet. "I need to check something. C

Chapter: CHAPTER 86NatashaMy heat hit me in the middle of a healing session and it was a wave of need so intense I nearly collapsed. One moment I was treating a sprained ankle and the next my entire body was on fire, every nerve ending screaming for one thing and one thing only. Mikhail."Are you okay?" My patient asked, concern in his voice."I—I need to go," I managed, already stumbling toward the door. "Elena! Elena, I need—"She took one look at me and understood immediately. "Heat. Go. I've got this."I barely made it out of the building before the next wave hit, and I grabbed onto the wall for support, my legs trembling. Through the bond, I felt Mikhail's immediate response. I felt his alarm, then understanding and pure hunger.I'm coming, He sent through our connection. Hold on, love. I'm coming.He found me five minutes later, having abandoned his training session mid-drill. The moment I saw him and smelled him, every rational thought fled my mind."Mikhail," I whimpered, reaching for him desp

Chapter: CHAPTER 85NatashaThe drive back to pack territory felt too short, the bubble of our honeymoon popping the moment we crossed the boundary. I felt the shift immediately. The awareness of other pack members nearby, the weight of responsibilities returning and the reality of what we were coming back to."You okay?" Mikhail asked, reaching over to squeeze my hand."Yeah," I said, though my stomach was doing nervous flips. "Just adjusting. It's different now, you know? We can't hide anymore. Everyone knows.""Is that a bad thing?" He asked carefully."No," I said quickly, and I meant it. "No, I'm tired of hiding. I just know it's going to be awkward. Some people are going to treat us differently.""Let them," He said firmly. "We have nothing to be ashamed of. The council approved our mating, Dimitri gave his blessing, and we're legally bonded. Anyone who has a problem with it can fuck off."I smiled at his protective tone, feeling it echo through our bond. "Easy for you to say. You're not the one w

Her Fiancé's Father's Obsession
I caught my fiancè fucking my best friend thirty minutes before our wedding. An hour later, I was riding his father in the back of his car, still in my wedding dress.
***
Hudson Armstrong had me trained and broken down into the perfect and compliant woman. He thought I would swallow the humiliation, paste on a smile and walk down the aisle like nothing happened.
He thought wrong.
His father Julius? Dark-haired, cold-blooded and powerful enough to make grown men tremble. He was the kind of man who didn’t ask for permission. He just took what he wanted.
When he found me shattered by his asshole of a son, he offered me an escape. A filthy, savage and absolutely depraved way out.
I should have said no. Instead, I let him peel off my white lace, shove me against the leather seats and fuck me like I was his while his son stood waiting at the altar, clueless and humiliated.
One revenge fuck. One night to forget. One twisted mistake, except Julius won’t let me go. His hands, his mouth and his obsession is consuming me whole and the more Hudson tries to win me back, the deeper I fall into his father’s bed.

Chapter: CHAPTER 40JaneThe late afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Julius's office, casting golden light across the mahogany desk where we sat.A sea of financial reports and market analysis documents were spread between us. I had been working as Julius's assistant for weeks now, and every day felt like drinking from a fire hose, in the best possible way."Walk me through the Meridian acquisition again," Julius said, leaning back in his chair, his grey eyes fixed on me with that intense focus that still made my pulse quicken. "Why did their stock price drop after the announcement?"I pulled up the relevant documents on my tablet, my confidence growing as I organized my thoughts. "The market reacted negatively because investors were concerned about Meridian's debt-to-equity ratio. On paper, it looks like we're taking on significant liability, but what they're missing is the value of Meridian's intellectual property portfolio and their distribution network in emerging markets. The patents al

Chapter: CHAPTER 39JaneThe address Claire had texted me led to a modest apartment building in a quiet neighborhood about twenty minutes from the office. I sat in the car for five full minutes after parking, staring at the building's entrance, trying to calm the frantic beating of my heart.This could go so many ways, all of them badly.Claire could decide I was a liar and a manipulator. She could think I was using Julius for job security and career advancement. She could lose all respect for me and never speak to me again. The friendship I had just started to believe in could evaporate before I even had a chance to properly cherish it.My phone buzzed and it was a text from Julius: "How are you holding up?""Terrified," I typed back. "Sitting outside her building trying to work up the courage to go in.""You can do this. She cares about you. I could tell from the way she reacted earlier. She's not going to abandon you."I hoped he was right. I really hoped so.Taking a deep breath, I got out of the c

The zipper kept slipping from my fingers."Jane," Julius's hands covered mine, stilling them. "Breathe.""She saw us. Claire saw us," My voice cracked. "I have to go after her. I have to explain.""Let me help you first," He was so calm and steady, but I could see the worry in his eyes. He zipped up my dress with gentle efficiency, then retrieved his shirt from where it had fallen on the floor. "What do you want to say to her?""I don't know," I pressed my hands to my face. Everything was falling apart. The one friend I had made had just seen me half-naked on my boss's desk. What a nightmare."She's going to hate me.""She's not going to hate you," He buttoned his shirt quickly. "She's shocked. That's understandable, but if she's really your friend, she won’t hate you.""I lied to her," The realization hit me like a punch to the stomach. "All those

Chapter: CHAPTER 37JaneThree weeks at Julius’ company and I felt like I was living someone else's life.I was definitely living a better life now. A life where things actually worked out for me.I had just finished a presentation in front of the executive board alone, because Julius had encouraged me to take the lead and it had gone perfectly. Catherine had actually nodded approvingly at my analysis of the contract implications. Robert had asked follow-up questions that showed he was genuinely interested in my insights, not just being polite."Excellent work, Ms. Parker," Julius had said as everyone filed out, his tone professional but his eyes warm with pride. "You're a natural at this."And the amazing thing was, I believed him.For the first time in my life, I felt competent and valued. I felt like I belonged somewhere that actually appreciated what I could do. The imposter syndrome that had plagued me for years was finally, slowly starting to fade.Every morning I walked into the building with my

Chapter: CHAPTER 36JaneBy my third day at the company, I started to notice a pattern that made my stomach twist with an anxiety that was all too familiar.I didn't fit in and it wasn't that anyone was unkind. Everyone was professional, polite even, but there was an invisible barrier between me and the other assistants, the coordinators and the junior executives who clustered together by the coffee station or chatted in the hallways between meetings.I told myself it didn't matter. I was here to work and not make friends. Julius kept me busy enough that I barely had time to think about it during the day, but lunchtime was different.Julius had back-to-back meetings today, including a working lunch with the CFO, which meant I was on my own. I had brought leftovers from home, pasta from the dinner Julius had made last night and headed down to the employee cafeteria on the tenth floor.The space was modern and bright, with huge windows overlooking the city. Round tables were scattered throughout, most of

Chapter: CHAPTER 35JuliusI was losing my goddamn mind. It was only ten in the morning and I was already hard three times. Three fucking times! Like I was a teenager who couldn't control himself instead of a grown man who had built an empire through discipline and focus.But then, discipline and focus were remarkably difficult when Jane Parker existed.This morning, she wore a cream-colored blouse tucked into a pencil skirt that hugged every curve, and my first thought had been how quickly I could get her out of it. Very professional. Very appropriate.I tried to focus on the reports on my screen. I tried to concentrate on the emails that needed responses, but my eyes kept drifting to the open doorway between our offices, catching glimpses of her as she worked.The way she bit her lip when she was concentrating. The elegant line of her neck when she tilted her head to read something. The curve of her ass when she leaned over to grab a file from the lower drawer of her desk.I was obsessed with her. T

The Slave Queen's Awakening
For eighteen years, Sylvia Velmont survived as the lowest creature in the Crimson Moon Pack, a human slave whose parents were executed for trespassing on wolf territory.
When she is dragged to serve wine at the sacred Lunar Conjunction, the last thing she expects is to accidentally spill wine on the one person everyone avoids. Rowan Salvatore, the King’s blade. The cursed Alpha whose mates die before the bond completes.
She expects death, but instead, their eyes meet and the impossible happens. The mate bond ignites between a worthless human slave and the most feared warrior in existence. Humans cannot be mated to wolves. Unless… She isn’t human after all.
As the bond awakens something ancient in Sylvia’s blood, she discovers the truth. She is the last of the Lunar Blessed, a hybrid bloodline thought extinct. Her parents weren’t just trespassers. They were hunted. And Rowan’s curse isn’t what everyone believes. It is meant to kill him if he ever finds his true mate.
Now hunted by the pack that enslaved her, coveted by Alphas who want her power and protected by a warrior whose curse might kill her, Sylvia must navigate her transformation from slave to the most powerful she-wolf in generations, because the King who holds Rowan’s leash knows exactly who she is.
The daughter of the wolf emperor he murdered, the rightful heir to all five packs and the only one who can break the soul chain that binds Rowan as his weapon.

Chapter: CHAPTER 18RowanI woke to the sound of glass breaking and my body reacted before my mind fully caught up.I rolled out of bed, shifted halfway into wolf form, claws extending as I moved toward the source of the noise. Sylvia was already on her feet beside me, her new instincts just as sharp as mine."Stay behind me." I growled, but she ignored me, moving to flank my position instead.The scent of blood magic and rot hit me and underneath it all was a familiar stench that made my wolf snarl with rage."Hunter." I said, the name tasting like poison."That fucking coward," Sylvia hissed. "He came back?"We found him in the main chamber of my tower, surrounded by shattered glass from the window he had broken through.Dark symbols glowed on his skin, pulsing with sickly green light. In his hands he held what looked like bones carved with runes, and the air around him shimmered with magic that made my wolf recoil."Hello, bitch," Hunter said, grinning at Sylvia with blood-stained teeth. "Miss me?""

Chapter: CHAPTER 17SylviaThree days had passed since my first transformation, and I still wasn't showing any signs of the curse. If anything, I was getting stronger. My senses were sharper, my reflexes faster, and the constant gnawing hunger that had defined my existence as a slave had finally disappeared. I was eating like a wolf now and my body was changing, filling out in ways that made me feel almost foreign to myself.Rowan's tower had become our sanctuary. The other wolves in the fortress were still adjusting to the reality of what I was, and the whispers followed me everywhere I went, so I stayed here, in his space, surrounded by his scent and the strange collection of artifacts he had accumulated over the years."What is all this stuff?" I asked, running my fingers along a shelf lined with odd trinkets, ancient coins, carved stones and what looked like pieces of armor too damaged to be useful.Rowan glanced up from the maps he had been studying. "Spoils of war, mostly. The King sends me to de

Chapter: CHAPTER 16SylviaI woke to the sensation of being completely surrounded. Rowan's scent enveloped me like a second skin and it made my wolf purr contentedly in the back of my mind. I still wasn't used to feeling her there. She was a presence that had always existed but had been locked away until Rowan's touch freed her.My body ached but it felt good. I shifted slightly and felt the pull of tender skin along my neck, my shoulders and my thighs.I didn't need a mirror to know they were bite marks. I could feel each one like a brand, claiming me as his.I should have been terrified. Everyone knew what happened to Rowan's mates. They died. Within days or weeks, the curse drained them until there was nothing left, but I didn't feel drained.I felt more alive than I had ever been in all my years of existence."You're awake." Rowan's voice was rough, and when I turned my head, I found him sitting against the wall across from the bed, as far from me as the room would allow. His eyes were fixed on me

Chapter: CHAPTER 15RowanMy legs were still shaking from the intensity of that orgasm, but the mate bond was far from satisfied. It pulsed between us, demanding more.I looked down at Sylvia, her lips swollen from sucking my cock, her eyes dark with lingering desire, and something primal took over."I need you on a bed," I said roughly, scooping her up before she could respond. She let out a surprised laugh, wrapping her arms around my neck as I carried her through the fortress corridors. "I need to lay you out properly and taste every inch of you before I finally bury myself inside you.""Rowan," She breathed, her face flushed. "We couldn't even wait to find a bed before.""I know, but now I want to do this right. I want to worship you the way you deserve." I kicked open a door, revealing a room in one of the few chambers that still had intact furniture, including a large bed covered in surprisingly clean furs.I laid her down gently, taking a moment to just look at her. She was still wearing my coat,

Chapter: CHAPTER 14SylviaI was still trembling from the aftershocks when Rowan's hand began sliding lower, trailing down my stomach slowly. My breath hitched as his fingers traced the curve of my hip, then moved inward."I need to touch you properly," He murmured against my ear, his breath hot and ragged. "I need to feel how wet you are for me. I need to make you come apart on my fingers.""Yes," I breathed, my hands clutching his shoulders as my legs threatened to give out again. "Please, Rowan, I need it.""I know exactly what you need," His fingers finally reached between my thighs and we both groaned at the contact. "Fuck, Sylvia. You're soaked."His fingers slid through my wetness, exploring and learning every fold and curve. When he found my clit and circled it slowly and I nearly collapsed against him as a sharp cry escaped my lips."That's it," He encouraged as his other arm wrapped firmly around my waist, keeping me upright. "Let me hear you. I want to know exactly what feels good."He circ

Chapter: CHAPTER 13SylviaSomething in Rowan snapped. One moment we were standing facing each other and the next, he suddenly pulled me even closer, his hands gripping my hips possessively.The coat fell open, showing my body and I should have felt exposed, but the way he looked at me made me feel powerful instead."Last chance," Rowan said, his voice strained as he stared down at me, his hands tightening on my waist. "Once I start, I won't be able to stop."Instead of answering with words, I reached up and pulled his face down to mine, closing that final distance between us. Our lips met and the mate bond flared so bright I could see silver light even with my eyes closed. Lightning raced through my veins, pooling low in my belly as warmth, need and want all mixed together into something overwhelming.Rowan groaned against my mouth, his tongue sweeping in to taste me as his hand slid up my ribs to cup my breast. I gasped at the contact, rising up on my toes instinctively. Every nerve ending in my bod
