Chapter: Chapter FiveBlakeTwo years later.Two years ago was the last time I saw my mother. I remembered it like it was yesterday. The bouts of torture Cody had put her through. The diagnosis that came after. The way he loaded her into that convoy with the single promise that I would see her again once I married one of his sons. He meant every word of it. Since the day he drove off with her, I had not heard from him, from my stepbrothers, or from my mom.Two years on, it still hurt like a fresh wound. I had not given up. I would find her. I knew, somehow, that she was still alive.But those two years had changed me in ways I never expected. The morning after Cody disappeared with my mother and his sons, I walked out of the pack mansion and never looked back. I shed everything that tied me to that life, the pack, the bond, even my own wolf. I locked her away somewhere deep inside me and refused to let her out, no matter how hard she clawed at the inside of my chest in those first months. Eventually she we

Chapter: Chapter FourBlakeBy the next morning, I woke up in my bed with a pounding headache. The party was over. At some point, I must have passed out, because I had no memory of getting back to my room. I was still wearing the tight silver dress Leo had forced me into.The memories from last night came crashing back. The humiliation. The laughter. The way Mason, Gaige, and Leo had treated me like a toy in front of the entire pack. And Shawn, the one person I thought would stop them. My former best friend had stood there and watched. Worse, he had kissed me. The memory alone made my lips burn, and I squeezed my eyes shut. How had everything become such a mess? A few weeks ago, Shawn had been the one person I trusted most. Now he was no different from the rest of them.I pushed the thoughts away and grabbed my phone. I needed to focus. The Canadian Art competition was my only chance. If I won, I could leave this pack forever and take my mother with me, far away from Alpha Cody, far away from his sons, far

Chapter: Chapter ThreeBlakeI sat there at the dining table, texting Mary like my life depended on it. I wanted to explain everything and beg for her forgiveness for what had happened yesterday. I had no idea how Shawn had known I was heading to that art event. I needed that visa, I needed to win. But after yesterday I was afraid I had been disqualified. Not even forgetting the fact that he had shot a man's leg in the process of carrying me out.I sent multiple text messages to Mary, apologising and hoping she could give me another chance. Hoping I could still compete after my stepbrother had ruined the signings.But it ticked double with no response. Out of frustration I slammed my phone on the table, pressing my head against the table, thinking of how to get over this.I thought of my mom, how this was meant to free her. And now we might get stuck here. Oh, if I saw Shawn right now I would give him a piece of my mind.I checked my phone and Mary hadn't responded. I crashed on the chair in frustration.I

Chapter: Chapter TwoBlakeMy mom was transferred to another room after the alpha found out I saw her, he torture my mom and wanted to do it in a way only Him can enjoy. I had to get my mother out of this pack, she doesn't deserve this. The thought sat on my chest As a heavy burden.News was also going round the pacl that the two remaining sons of the alpha would be returning today, and something about that made me feel uneasy. Because meeting just the two of my stepbrothers made me me feel a draw I couldn't explain My wolf was weak. At least, that's what everyone said. So why did my chest tighten when shawn and Gaige walked into a room? Why did I feel drawn to them in a way I couldn't explain? I just hoped it wouldn't be the same feel with the remaining two. I felt so much pressure I just wanted to get my mom and leave this pack.My phone then buzzed, I exhaled slowly and reached for the phone, hoping to get any good news on my explain plan. And it was A notification from Mary, my art instructor. I ha

Chapter: Chapter OneBlakeI could not believe the guy I once had a huge crush on back in high school was now my stepbrother. Honestly I could not believe I would have any brothers at all after spending twenty-one years as my mom's only child.And now my life was about to change entirely. Mom had married Cody Evans a week ago, a cold and ruthless Alpha who ruled the BloodMoon Pack, and I hated every part of it.She had moved in with him a week ago, but I had refused to so much as step foot in that pack house. Not necessarily because of him, but because his late mate had given him four sons.Four boys running around the same house, and me being the only girl did not sit well with me at all. But after a week of resisting, I finally moved in with my mom. And right now I was standing at the dining table, completely frozen, because Gaige was right there in front of me, and something in my chest pulled toward him before I even understood why.Gaige had always been my crush. Tall, blue eyes, messy black hair tha

FAKE DATING THE HOTTEST BOXER
Renata has three problems: a sick mother, an unpaid rent notice, and a dream she refuses to let die.
A self-taught boxer with raw talent and no formal backing, Renata has been training in secret for months with one goal in mind — winning the city's most prestigious boxing tournament and using the prize money to keep her family from losing everything. The only problem is that Coach Peterston won't let her near the roster. She's a girl, she's untrained on paper, and the rules aren't built for someone like her.
When her best friend Edwina reveals that Drent Ardent — the legendary boxer behind the tournament and the most magnetic man in the city — is quietly in town ahead of the finals, Renata sees her only opening.
She doesn't expect Drent to see through her in under two minutes.
She especially doesn't expect him to be that beautiful.
Drent Ardent has everything the world can see and nothing he actually wants. The heir to his family's boxing empire, he's been handed an ultimatum by his father's board — produce a visible, credible relationship before the year ends or forfeit his inheritance. He has come to this city to breathe, to escape the suffocation of expectation, and to run a tournament that was supposed to be simple.
Drawn to her in a way he can't explain and unwilling to examine too closely, Drent makes Renata an offer she has every reason to refuse.
What begins as a clean transaction between two people who need something from each other refuses to stay clean. Drent is used to wanting things and acquiring them. Renata is used to surviving and nothing else.
One year. One deal. One fight that will change both of their lives.

Chapter: Chapter Seventy Four : Bomb came EarlyMarcusDakota picked up on the first ring."Tell me something good," I said."I have it." Her voice was low, the way it got when she was somewhere she shouldn't be and knew it. "Everything we discussed. I have it and I know exactly what to do with it."I laughed. from genuine satisfaction. "The fight is tomorrow, Dakota. You understand that. Tomorrow.""I understand.""Which means tonight. Everything has to be in place tonight.""I know the timeline, sir." A pause. "I do need to say something first.""Then say it quickly.""The venue." She hesitated, which Dakota rarely did, and the hesitation told me she had been sitting with this for a while before deciding to say it. "There will be a great number of people there. Staff, crew, people setting up from the morning. Spectators by the afternoon. If we go through with this the way you've outlined, the blast won't discriminate. It will take out whoever is standing in the wrong place at the wrong time and that includes people who have nothi

Chapter: Chapter Seventy Three : Sink Or swim.DrentSir Khabib's office was the kind of room that had been designed to remind you of how much money was in it. Heavy furniture, the kind of art on the walls that existed purely to signal taste, and a view of the city that said everything about where the man who sat behind that desk had positioned himself in the world.He stood when I came in, which was a courtesy he extended to very few people, and we shook hands and sat and his assistant poured coffee that neither of us touched."We're looking forward to this fight," he said. As he swung his chair slightly. "The attention it's getting is significant. More than we anticipated, frankly.""I appreciate the investment," I said. "Both of you coming on board early meant a great deal."He nodded, accepting this, and then he leaned forward slightly and the warmth in his expression adjusted itself into something more direct."I'll be plain with you, Drent. We have a great deal of money behind this. Not just on the event itself but on the ou

Chapter: Chapter Seventy Two: H BombMarcusMy door crashed open with the kind of bang that turned heads immediately. I swung my chair around to see Dakota walking in, her hands clutched tightly around a flyer, a mischievous grin spread across her face.I stood up, towering over her as she stopped in front of me."What is this all about?""Whatever do you mean, Master Marcus?" she said, leaning forward on my desk."Banging into my office. I've told you to only do that when you had a way I could eliminate my brother and get the empire.""That is exactly why I'm here, sir." My mood lifted, but I didn't let it show on my face. Dakota had a plan. A lead. And she never once disappointed me with her plans.I had sat all day in my chair making calls, trying to find loopholes to get to my brother, but all had come to nothing. And here was Dakota standing in front of me with a plan.I couldn't hide my smile.I folded my arms and sank slowly into my chair."I'm listening, Dakota."The next thing she did was slam a flyer on my desk

Chapter: Chapter Seventy One : The loosing Game.Drent"I want everything on Marcus by Friday," I said. "Movements, contacts, whoever he's been meeting with since he got back. I don't care how you get it."Javier's voice came through the phone even and steady. He had been with me long enough to receive instructions like that without needing them softened. "Understood. I'll have something to you by Thursday night.""Good."A brief pause on the line. "There's something else.""Say it.""The boxing match." I could hear the careful neutrality he was putting into his voice, which meant he had an opinion he was deciding whether to share. "It's been getting attention. Sponsors are talking about it. People are watching how you handle it.""I know.""Renata's been training hard. Word is she's serious about this.""I know that too.""So what's the plan?""The plan is I win," I said. "Same as everything else."I ended the call and set the phone face down on the desk and sat back.The room was quiet. Outside the window the city did what it alwa

Chapter: Chapter Seventy : A must winRenata"Is he always that dramatic?"Drent didn't look up from the documents spread across the desk. "Yes. Because that's who Marcus is.""He was flirting with me." I crossed my arms. "Right in front of you.""I know." He set the papers down and looked at me then, and there was something flat and certain in his eyes. "That's exactly what he was doing. Stay away from him, Renata.""I wasn't the one who walked up to him.""I'm not saying you did. I'm saying don't engage. Don't give him anything to work with." He leaned back in his chair. "Marcus isn't doing any of this because he finds you interesting. He's doing it because he wants the empire and he wants to use every angle he can find to get under my skin. You're an angle."I didn't say anything, but something about hearing it put that plainly stung more than I expected."Which is why," he continued, "we need to be more careful. He's watching us now. If our arrangement starts to look like what it actually is, he will use it. We need t

Chapter: Chapter Sixty Nine: New Prize to ClaimMarcusI couldn't hold my smile seeing Drent this way, seeing how he crumbled knowing I was here for the same thing he had fought so hard to get. Seeing him flinch when he saw me with the woman he loved and quickly pulling her away from me, because he knew I could take her if I wanted.Drent bitterly left the party after that and before he left, he shot a last warning glance at me.I knew that look. This was far from over and he was ready to take me out.I stayed for the entire party, making sure I was beside my father, trying to prove I was the good son who remained when Drent was not interested in staying.And after the whole event I was so tired. My bones cracked, my body ached and I needed a massage from a spa expert in my bedroom.In thirty minutes, Dakota came and attended to me, massaging my bones and soothing my skin in the way that relaxed my body completely.Dakota had been my personal assistant since I had pitched her my plan of taking over my father's empire.She had encou
