Chapter: Six Years GoneNeither of them said a word since leaving the curb. Enoch kept both hands on the wheel, his knuckles white against the leather. The radio was off. The only sound was the hum of the engine and the tires against the road. Anna kicked off her heels and let them drop onto the floorboards. The champagne was still warm in her veins. She was tired of him pretending, tired of him staring straight ahead as if she weren't there. "You don't get to be angry," she said. Enoch's grip tightened. "I beg your pardon?" "You heard me. You're furious. Don't act like you aren't." He let out a short, dry laugh. "Anna, you're drunk." "And you're making me feel stupid." He turned his head. A quick, sharp glance. "You kissed him," Enoch said. "Right there in front of everyone. In front of me. What did you think was going to happen?" Anna looked out her window at the streetlights blurring past. "I panicked. It was stupid." "No." His voice dropped. "You don't get it." She turned in her seat to face h

Chapter: Perfect InterferenceENOCHHe slammed the door of the penthouse behind him, the sound echoing through the empty space like a gunshot.Daniel. That smug bastard actually thought he stood a chance with Anna. The memory of her kissing him played on repeat in Enoch's mind, especially the satisfied look on Daniel's face.Did she want him?The question gnawed at Enoch as he paced the living room. He had barely held it together on that stage. He spoke completely on autopilot, his mind entirely consumed by the memory of her in that red dress, and then of her lips on Daniel's.He poured himself a drink but didn't touch it.She was supposed to come home. They needed to talk. Really talk. No more running. Enoch had been patient. He had given her space. But tonight she had pushed every limit he had.Thirty minutes passed. Then an hour.He called Marcus."Where are you?" Enoch asked, voice tight.A pause. "Sir… they wanted to go to Lumina. Miss Maya insisted."Enoch's grip tightened on the phone. "And you let them?""

Chapter: Midnight RecklessnessANNATwo hours and several glasses of champagne later, the gala had become a distant, glittery blur.It was entirely Maya's fault.After Enoch left, they were coming up with a plan, and next thing Anna knew, Maya was accepting an invitation from some tech heiress she'd befriended near the silent auction to continue the night at an exclusive club downtown. "At this point, the only responsible thing to do is tequila," Maya had declared, already pulling Anna toward the exit.The driver Enoch had arranged for them was a quiet, serious guy named Gregory. He had tried to protest when they piled into the car. "Mr. Wade specifically asked that I take you straight home, Miss Anna."Maya had waved him off with a dramatic flourish. "We're not imposing on Enoch tonight. Take us to Lumina. We'll be good, promise."Gregory looked like a man who valued his life. He eventually relented, muttering something about damage control, and drove them to the club.The bass hit Anna the second she stepped ins

Chapter: AftermathANNAMaya was near the dessert table, laughing with some women, when she spotted Anna. Her smile dropped instantly. She excused herself mid-sentence and cut straight toward Anna, grabbing her elbow and steering her behind a tall floral arrangement."Please tell me you didn't just start a war." Maya hissed, eyes wide."You saw that?""The entire room saw you kiss that man on the dance floor. Who is he? Tell me you were possessed.""I panicked, okay?"Maya laughed sharply. "Anna, I've seen murder trials with less tension. Enoch looked like John Wick when someone shot his dog."Anna's chest squeezed. "Can you not compare my love life to organized crime for five seconds?"Maya stared at her and folded her arms."He kept asking questions and Enoch kept looking at me… God, I don't even know why I did it." Anna exhaled shakily. "Trust me, I didn't mean for it to happen like that."Before she could say more, the tension in the room shifted. Enoch was walking toward Daniel, who had followed An

Chapter: Photogenic KissANNAShe had barely taken three steps toward the canapé table when Daniel appeared at her elbow, sharp smile already in place. He had clearly been waiting for the exact moment Enoch's hand left her back."You are simply the most gorgeous woman I have ever set my eyes on tonight."The laugh burst out of Anna, and she couldn't stop it. Not that she tried. Her ribs were squeezing tight as a result."You always know exactly what to say, don't you? It's almost suspicious.""Only around you. Everyone else gets the corporate version." He chuckled."Flattery at a charity gala. Are you having fun, Daniel?"His grin widened as he offered his arm. She took it. Refusing would only feed the gossip mill, and the entire room was still watching them. His sleeve felt warm under her fingers. Safe. Predictable. Everything she had written on that stupid list.They drifted along the edge of the dance floor. He talked about the Mercer account and cracked a rehearsed joke about the string quartet while his t

Chapter: The Charity GalaANNAShe paused just inside the ballroom doors, Maya's arm threaded through hers like she was afraid Anna might bolt. The hall dripped with expensive perfume and fake laughter rising above the low murmur of people who had money and still needed everyone to know it.Then her heels hit the marble.The whole room turned, and conversations dipped as judgmental eyes slid over her. She knew it was not only because of who she was but also what she was wearing. The dress Maya had all but forced her to wear did all the talking, and it wasn't saying anything polite.Maya's breath brushed her ear. "Relax. If they're staring, you've already won."Anna didn't answer. Her stomach was already knotted tight enough to snap.Enoch was at the far end by the bar in a black suit like always, but tonight his collar was open. He was talking to two board members, but the second Anna stepped fully into view, his focus shifted. He hadn't seen her. Or he had. She couldn't tell anymore. Her eyes dragged over the

A Prey For My Enemy
Kain Morozov is the most dangerous cleaner in the European underworld and entirely without mercy. When the man that raised him murdered his pregnant girlfriend and tries to force him into their service, he responds the only way he knows how: he attends their dinner party and kills everyone at the table.
Everyone except the girl sitting across from him.
Tatiana Morozov is twenty-two, sheltered to the point of suffocation, sharp-tongued and completely unprepared for the world her parents kept her sealed away from. She is also the only person Kain has ever been unable to kill, because she looked up at him across a dinner table with blood on her face and his dead mother's eyes shone through.
He takes her to protect her. She sees it as kidnapping.
What follows is a slow, furious, devastating collision between a broken soul who doesn't know he's capable of gentleness and a naive girl who doesn't know the world she grew up in was built on bodies. Between them stands Julian Ashford, handsome, warm, attentive, everything Kain is not.

Chapter: The HunterThe rain is just pulverizing the rusted tin roof of this warehouse, sounding like a steady stream of machine-gun fire overhead.I’m standing in front of a wall of flickering monitors, my arms locked across my chest so tight my shoulders ache, my jaw clamped down until my teeth groan. Three days. Three fucking days since Tatiana vanished out of that manicured garden. Three days since Julian’s little playground went totally dark and left me staring at blank screens.Dmitri is hovering by my shoulder, his breathing heavy and sour. “We found the compound. It’s got deep underground levels, heavily fortified. We’re still trying to map the exact layout before we—”“I don’t give a shit about the layout,” I growl, not even looking at him. My eyes are glued to the last grainy frame of her on the screen. She looks tiny under those massive trees, her shoulders hunched, but there’s this raw, dangerous heat in her eyes.She’s alive. I can feel it humming under my skin like electricity.“Any word on

Chapter: Choose your CageTime just stops mattering in this concrete box.I’m measuring the days by the plates of lukewarm food they shove through the slot and the exact number of times my mother walks through that heavy steel door. She’s come twice more. Every single time, she’s totally calm, totally clinical, just picking at my brain with those cold eyes like she’s trying to figure out if I’m finally broken enough to cooperate.On the fourth visit, she brings a tiny velvet box and drops it on the metal table between us.She clicks it open. Inside is a delicate silver chain with a pendant that looks exactly like the one currently digging into my collarbone. Except this one is hollow. Empty.“A spare,” she says, her voice smooth and completely unbothered by the fact that she shot a kid in front of me four days ago. “In case the original is ever compromised. The ledger chip can be transferred. But only by you.”I don’t even look at it. I keep my hands flat on my knees so she won't see my knuckles turning white.

Chapter: Silence Between CagesThey left me in the secure wing for what felt like days.No windows. No clock. Just soft lighting that never changed and the faint hum of ventilation. Food appeared through a slot in the door three times a day. I ate mechanically. I slept in fits. Mostly, I sat on the floor with my back against the wall and turned the necklace over and over in my hands.The ledger.The reason my mother had faked her death. The reason Julian had died. The reason Kain had taken me in the first place.I didn’t know how to open it. I wasn’t even sure I wanted to. But it felt heavier now. Like it carried the weight of every lie that had shaped my life.On what I guessed was the third day, the door opened.My mother stepped inside alone. No guards. She was dressed in a crisp white blouse and black trousers, looking every bit the Matriarch—elegant, untouchable, and completely in control.She closed the door behind her and studied me where I sat on the floor.“You’ve always preferred the floor when you’re

Chapter: No One’s DaughterThe silence after the bang is so loud it makes my ears throb.Julian’s blood is just creeping across the stone, thick and shiny like oil under those buzzing lights. His eyes are wide open, staring at nothing, staring at the ceiling. The boy who used to make me laugh, the boy who promised he’d always keep me safe, the boy who lied to me every single second we were together—he’s just a pile of meat at my mother’s feet.I can’t stop looking at him. I want to look away, but my eyes are glued to his face.My mother shoves the gun back into her jacket with this smooth, practiced twist of her wrist, like she’s just putting away a pen. Then she turns around and looks at me, smoothing her face into this fake, soft, motherly look that makes my stomach turn.“You’ll get used to it,” she says, her voice completely calm. “Power demands sacrifices. Julian became a risk. He let his feelings cloud his judgment. That cannot be tolerated in our world.”Our world.The words make my skin itch, make me wa

Chapter: Blood and TruthMy mother doesn’t even try to hug me.She just stands there, drilling her eyes into my face like she’s looking at a piece of furniture she bought at an auction. Just appraising me. Cold. Totally detached, but with this tiny, nauseating speck of satisfaction in the corners of her mouth.“Come inside,” she says. “We have much to discuss.”The two guys with the rifles slot themselves right next to my shoulders, moving me forward like cattle. Julian slinks behind us, three paces back, completely silent. The smug, pretty-boy routine he’s been pulling for years is shattered. He looks like a dog waiting for a kick.They herd us down into that basement room. There’s no fake blood on the floor this time. No theater. Just pristine white marble gleaming under those aggressive, buzzing fluorescent lights.My mother slides into the chair at the head of the massive table. I don't sit. I refuse to sit. Julian just hovers against the far wall, trying to make himself look invisible.“You’ve grown into

Chapter: Breaking PointJulian’s suspicion is just hanging in the air, thick and greasy like kitchen smoke.The next morning, he’s watching me so hard I can feel it on the side of my neck. He’s still doing the smiles, but they stop at his teeth. His eyes are just dead. Breakfast isn’t breakfast; it’s an interrogation wrapped up in a nice little bow of fake affection.“You didn’t sleep again,” he says. He pours my coffee, getting the milk and sugar exactly right, like he’s trying to remind me how well he knows me. How trapped I am.I just shrug, keeping my eyes on the black liquid. “Nightmares.”“About Kain?”“About everything.”He nods all sweet and sympathetic, but I catch it. His eyes drop down to my throat, just for a fraction of a second, staring right at the necklace. The mask isn’t just cracking anymore; it’s sliding right off his face.I spend the rest of the day overcompensating. I sit in the library with a book I’m not reading. I take short, pointless walks.

Behind Enemy Lines: From Slave To Luna
Catherine Hale was wolfless and broken.
After her pack was slaughtered, she became a glorified slave to the cruel Crescent Pack. When the Alpha’s son, Ben, publicly humiliated on the mating ceremony night, shattered and numb, Catherine made a deal with the devil. She volunteered to become a spy in the rival Red River Pack.
But before then, on that same night and in a moment of vengeful rage, she threw herself at a dangerous stranger in the shadows.
She didn’t know he was Alpha Adrian, the same merciless alpha she was sent to destroy.
One night of angry, explosive passion changed everything.
Now trapped in enemy territory as the official treaty envoy, Catherine is playing the deadliest game of her life. Every touch from Adrian sets her on fire. Every secret she steals makes her question everything. And the more she tries to betray him, the deeper she falls into his bed… and his claim.
In a world of blood, betrayal, and war, one thing is certain:
Catherine will either return home with the power to destroy the Crescent Pack…
or she’ll burn it all down at the side of the ruthless alpha who refuses to let her go.

Chapter: EN ROUTE RED RIVER PACKBrian was waiting with a fresh horse and a smirk that said he expected to receive my corpse back within the week.I mounted it without looking at him. Did not take the hand he did not offer. Got one foot in the stirrup and swung up clean, settled my weight, checked the reins. The horse was good. Better than Brian deserved to own.The stranger's cloak was folded under the saddlebag. I had not been able to leave it. I had held it in my hands for a long moment before dawn, because it was warm.The gates creaked open slowly.Snow clung to the ground in dirty patches taking me back to the night my whole pack was massacred. Same thing I am sure Brian has planned for Red River’s pack. The road ahead was pale and empty. I nudged the horse forward and did not look back and felt my heart settle into something steady for the first time since I had watched my father's head roll across white ground.Half a mile down the road I felt it.The same weight I had felt at the bonfire.

Chapter: GOOD BYE LENAHe tossed the documents onto the mattress.I looked at them without touching them. An identity that was not mine, printed in clean ink on credentials that would get me through a border I had no business crossing. The leather pouch landed beside them a second later. I pulled it open and found a silver dagger, blade no longer than my palm, handle wrapped in dark cord."The blade is for emergencies you might come across on the road." He said it as an afterthought. "Don't get ideas about running. Scouts will be on your trail until you cross into Red River's territory. After that you're on your own."I turned the dagger over in my hand once, testing the weight, then slid it into the hidden pocket I had sewn into the stranger's coat three hours ago while the camp slept. The pocket sat flush against my ribs. You would not find it unless you knew where to look, and Brian had never looked at me carefully enough for that to be a concern."Anything else I should know about the monster?" Brian's

Chapter: A SPY IN A CAGE"I'll do it. I'll be your spy. Please. Don't let them touch me."The words came out smaller barely above whisper as the guard stepped closer. Brian raised his hand and the guards left without being told twice, their footsteps crossing the floor, the door clicking shut behind them. The room didn't get quieter exactly, just more concentrated. Just the two of us and whatever he was about to say next.He crouched down to my level. I watched his face arrange itself into satisfaction. He thought he had broken me tonight. He had only seen what I built for him to see."Red River's monster expects an envoy the day after tomorrow. Noon. Treaty talk." He tilted his head. His hand moved into my hair, brushing through slowly, and that was worse than being hit. I didn't know how to hold my face against a touch that looked gentle. "I need eyes inside his walls. You walk in as my ambassador. Smile pretty. Listen to everything Adrian says. Send me weaknesses, guard rotations, who he trusts, who he's

Chapter: A CALCULATED SCREAMI stepped out of the trees wrapped in a stranger's cloak. The fabric was too large for me, pooling at my ankles, carrying a scent that wasn't mine. I kept my chin level and my eyes forward. My thighs ached with every step but I did not slow down. The ache was mine to carry. I had chosen it. The storage-room door stayed open. I noticed that first. The darkness beyond it was too still and my feet slowed, sensing the danger ahead. I took three steps inside, felt the cold of the room replace the night air, and then his voice slid out of the dark. "Smell that, boys? Our little wolfless whore finally got herself fucked." Brian sat on the same chair he always claimed whenever he came to play, his throne of rot and dominance, and a thin smile played on his lips. Two guards flanked him on each side, each pair of eyes already moving across my skin. My face stayed blank but my stomach dropped. Moon goddess. Not again. My blank face was not bravery. It was the only armor I had lear

Chapter: PLEASE HELP ME “Got her,” one guard snarled. They caught me before I made the corner. Two sets of hands slammed me against the stone wall and held me upright like I weighed nothing. I twisted, spitting blood. “Get your fucking hands off me. Rejected or not, Ben will kill you both if you touch what’s his.” The first guard, the one who had kicked me every morning for six months, chuckled. “Ben? That boy just found himself a real mate. She's a strong alpha blood from the northern pack. Pretty little thing with an actual wolf. They’re already in the tent. He gave us the go ahead before he even got her dress off.” My stomach dropped. “You’re lying.” The second guard leaned in close enough for me to smell the ale on his breath. “Hear that? Listen real close, wolfless.” I froze. Through the thin night air came the sounds. Moans. High, sweet, eager. Ben’s voice, thick with pleasure. “That’s it, baby. Louder. Let everyone know who you belong to now.” The new girl cried out his name like it tasted good

Chapter: COLD HEARTMinutes later the door opened.Brian stepped inside, closing it behind him with a soft click that sounded like a trap snapping shut.“Poor little Catherine,” he said softly, voice dripping fake sympathy. “Rejected right after being claimed. That must sting worse than the bite itself. To be honest I didn't think Ben had it in him. Such cruelty.”I didn’t look up. “Get out.”He chuckled and sat on the edge of the mattress. His hand landed on my bare thigh, fingers sliding up under the torn gown. “Ben was always impulsive. But me? I know how to appreciate a fine piece like you. I’ve waited six long months.”His touch crawled higher. I slapped his hand away and sat up despite the fire tearing through my ribs. “Touch me again and I’ll find a way to kill you in your sleep.”Brian grabbed my throat, squeezing just enough to make stars burst behind my eyes. “Still so much fire left. I love it. That’s exactly why I’m going to enjoy breaking you slowly. You’ll beg me to fuck you. You’ll call me
