Why Did Vanessa Blake Leave The Show?

I'm the only sister of Ronan Mooncrest, Alpha of Mooncrest Pack. For as long as I can remember, Cassian, our Delta, Orion, our Gamma, and Nikolai, our Beta, swore they'd die before letting anyone hurt me. When I wanted the moon, they built me a tower. When the river was freezing and I refused to go home, they carried me across on their backs. I was their princess—the wolf they spoiled rotten and loved down to the bone. And of course, I loved them too. I was sure one of them had to be my mate. Then Dana came to Mooncrest. An outsider she-wolf. Bold. Gorgeous. Untouchable. No joke cracked her. No stare made her blush. On her first day, she challenged our pack warriors one by one. After that, Cassian started saying I was spoiled. The first time he left me shaking in a storm just to walk Dana home, Orion and Nikolai snapped at him. "Cassian, you're choosing her. Don't cry when you regret it." But soon, Orion got pulled in too. At my birthday party, I looked at the only one still beside me—Nikolai—and my eyes burned. "Nikolai... is this my fault?" He kissed my hair. "Don't go there. They're idiots. They don't know what they're losing." Then I saw him put the moonstone crown he'd promised me on Dana's head. Just to make her smile. Eyes red, chest wrecked, I knocked on Ronan's door. "Mooncrest is sending someone to Frostfang in three days. Let it be me."

"Tell me Vanessa—does my brother fuck you better than I do?" Vanessa stared at her husband in shock, unable to comprehend the question he'd just asked her. She'd never even met Nicholas Lancaster, Sebastian's enemy and rival brother, let alone slept with him. But Sebastian didn't care about the truth as he shoved a sex tape in her face—a video showing a woman who looked exactly like her with the man she'd never touched. After losing their baby six months ago, Vanessa didn't expect her husband to call her barren and worthless, to tell her she couldn't give him the child he deserved. After three years as his secret wife, Sebastian threw divorce papers at her and demanded she disappear before his billion-dollar deal came through. Vanessa signed and left with nothing. Seven years later, she returned as Mrs. Nicholas Lancaster—married to Sebastian's brother and greatest enemy, ready to destroy the man who destroyed her. But she didn't return alone. When Sebastian's eyes landed on the six-year-old boy at her side, his world stopped. The boy looked exactly like him. What if the child wasn't Nicholas's son at all? What if he was his? Sebastian is determined to find out the truth about the boy's real father, and if the boy is his, he'll destroy everything Vanessa has built to claim his son. But Vanessa isn't the broken woman he threw away seven years ago—and this time, she's ready to fight back.

The most dangerous mistake a powerful man can make… is breaking the woman he cannot live without. Nash Blackthorpe is a billionaire playboy. As COO of Midas Media, he expands his father's empire on pure ambition, to prove himself against his half brother and inherit the CEO position. From early on women were just a commodity, his pleasures bought and paid for. He didn't entertain a relationship, all his liaisons were contracted. Then came Valentina...the anomaly...the only woman who didn't accept the contract he offered but negotiated. For one year, the arrangement was perfect, he came to her every weekend and their chemistry, the heat and hunger between them was off the charts. But then she did what every woman did, she over reached. Said she wanted more...and Nashian had one way of dealing with that...shut it down immediately. He was Nashian Blackthorpe - she was nobody. An orphan, living in a Penthouse he paid the rent on, receiving a generous monthly stipend for services rendered...she needed him...he called the shots. But his mistake was thinking that Valentina was like all his previous contracted lovers...because Valentina never wanted money or status...she had just wanted him. So she didn't wait to be rejected or replaced...she left him. And no woman has Ever left Nash and only then did he realise what he had actually lost.

The last person Cassie Adams expects to see sitting across the boardroom table is the man she left behind. Damian Voss. The man she never forgot. The man who never forgave her. Months ago, a broken heart sent Cassie running halfway across the world. Spain was supposed to be an escape a place to heal, reinvent herself, and forget the betrayal that shattered her life. Then she met Damian. What was meant to be a fleeting summer romance became something neither of them saw coming. Something intense. Addictive. Impossible to walk away from. Until Cassie did. Without an explanation. Without a goodbye. Now Damian is no longer the carefree man she fell for. He's cold where he once was warm, guarded where he once let her in, and determined to make her regret the heartbreak she left behind. He's powerful, ruthless, and one of the most influential men. Worse, her biggest career opportunity places her directly in his path, she discovers some mistakes never stay buried. Avoiding him isn't an option. Neither is ignoring the fire that still burns between them.

My executive boyfriend's newly hired assistant caused trouble again. All because a client mentioned he was afraid of snakes, she sent him a king cobra as "exposure therapy." The client was bitten and nearly died. Because of that, the company lost a multimillion-dollar project and had to pay two million in medical compensation. Following the board's decision, I fired her on the spot. My boyfriend did not object. In fact, he cooperated with me throughout the paperwork. One year later, at the celebration party for Grant Hale's promotion to CEO, I saw that same assistant again, dressed head to toe in luxury, standing beside him. Before I could react, Grant threw a termination agreement at me and announced in front of everyone that Chloe Vance would be taking over my position. His eyes were full of hatred as he gritted out, "Natalie, I have waited countless nights for this day. Didn't you love firing people? "How does it feel to be fired in public?" Everyone thought I would make a scene. Instead, I laughed, calmly removed my employee badge, and walked out. What Grant did not know was that the only reason he had been able to sit in the CEO's chair was because I had guaranteed him. The moment I left, every ounce of power in his hands would be revoked. His good days were officially over.

I'd been married to my vampire husband for three years, and he had always cherished me like a treasure. He held me close every night before I went to sleep. He never let go of my hand when we went out. He worried, always, that I might get hurt. A common cold was enough to make him cancel everything and stay up all night beside me. James told me no one in the world mattered more to him than I did. Everyone said he loved me to pieces. I believed it too. Until the day of the ceremony — the night he was supposed to turn me into a vampire. A woman who should have been dead walked back into his life. She had my face, tear-streaked, calling his name in a small voice. That was when I understood. I'd only ever been the stand-in for the woman he couldn't let go of. My stubbornness, my refusal to give up — all of it broke under the disappointment that kept piling up. So I gave up on him for good. I decided to keep our child to myself, and disappear from his world without a word. But later, he came back. Down on his knees, again and again, begging me to come home.
