“I, Alpha Damon Lockwood, reject you, Sienna De Luca as my mate and Luna.” He said, looking her in the eye as she stood in front of the entire pack, waiting for him to acknowledge her as her mate. She froze for a moment, not knowing what to say before she took a deep breath. Her eyes meeting her mother’s who shook her head, who was telling her not to do this. However, she knew not to stop. “I, Sienna De Luca accept your rejection alpha Damon…” ******************************** Shocked and embarrassed, Sienna finds herself being forced to leave the pack before anyone stopped her from doing so, before she embarrasses her family more than she already believes she has. She took one glance at the test, which was inside her purse, before she took a deep breath and just walked out. Knowing that things were going to be different. Knowing that things were going to be hard. However, when the alpha finds her nine months later, things decide to take a different turn…

"An...thony... Please save me... I'm dying..." While my fiancé was walking down the aisle with my sister, I was here, soaked in blood, gasping for breath, and fighting for not only my life, but that of our unborn baby. "Don't be petty, Sophie. Are you doing this to make me stop the wedding?" "Let's talk when I get back." Then the line went dead... My heart stopped with it. When I opened my eyes, I was back to four years ago when everything started. The day I got engaged to Anthony. Then I saw him... His uncle. The man who held my cold body and cried desperately after my death. Why was my death so personal to him? The question rang in my head. There was only one way to find out and also get my revenge on everyone... Marry him...

Was he the cruel man who took advantage of me that night?

Adopted by the Stewart family, Brianna grew up knowing she wasn’t chosen out of love, but out of usefulness. She never expected to be the main character of any story, until her sister Emily, the golden child, fled her own arranged marriage leaving Brianna to take her place. Adrian Maserati’s reputation precedes him: the brutal, cold-blooded CEO who runs the entire state. Brianna braces herself to become just another shadow in his house, a sham marriage wearing her sister’s name. Instead, she’s met by a man whose eyes light up just for her, who tells her she was always the one he wanted, whose gaze draws out emotions she never knew she had. As their marriage blooms into an unexpected slow burn, Brianna starts uncovering truths she was never meant to find: fragments of a forgotten childhood, the shape of her adoption, a husband who somehow knows her better than she knows herself. The deeper she digs, the clearer it becomes. Now she has to decide: is the man she’s falling for really in love with her, or has she just traded one cage for another? Excerpt “But.. why the pet names. You’ve never called my name out loud before.” I questioned before I could stop myself. “I thought you didn’t know my name.” “Oh.. baby,” he murmured, his thumb brushing the lone tear filling the side of my eyes. “I never called you by your name for a reason.” “As much as I love your name,” his gaze softened even more, “‘Baby’ just sounds way better. And so does the many more pet names I have on my belt. How do you like ‘my angel’?”

“You have to reject her.” Amelia heard her twin say to her boyfriend. As the ignored daughter of the Alpha, Amelia has been bullied by her twin since little.

"For years, I belonged to him. Not his mate. Not his love. But his bedmate. His Gamma. His shadow in the night. Alpha Calhoun made sure no man dared touch me, no wolf dared look at me. I was his possession, his secret, his sin wrapped in skin. And I endured it all—his rough hands, his dark devotion, his kisses that tasted like fire and chains because at least, for a while, he was mine. Until she returned. His destined mate. His so-called true love. And suddenly, I was nothing. Cast aside, silenced, left to wither in the shadows of a love that had never been mine to claim. But the thing about being claimed by a man like Calhoun… is that he never truly lets you go. ""Try to leave me, Elodie,"" his voice had been a snarl against my throat, his grip bruising my waist. ""I'll burn down every border, tear apart every wolf that stands in my way, until you crawl back to me. You're mine, even if the Moon Goddess herself wants to rip you away."" He didn't know then that I already had one foot out the door. And when I finally left his pack… I took more than just my broken heart with me."

"Aria Kingsley never asked to be Luna. A forced heat, an accidental pregnancy, and a Council mandate locked her into a marriage with Luca Stormbourne, Alpha of StormRidge Pack, the man every wolf expected would claim another she-wolf as his mate. Two years later, Aria decides she’s done with his indifference, Ivy Castemont’s constant taunts and bullying, and being an outsider of her own pack. She wants one thing: severing their bond. But the moment Aria tries to leave, everything she thought she understood starts to unravel. The dying Old Alpha calls her to his bedside and murmurs a truth that turns her world inside out. Every clue that Aria uncovers pushes Luca closer instead of farther. His wolf turns possessive, his scent shifts toward hers, and the man who once hurt her now swears he won’t let her go. But love isn’t the only danger rising. Someone is willing to destroy the Stormbourne line and Aria before the truth comes to light. When love and betrayal clash, will Aria choose to run from Luca, or will she ruin anyone who dares to come between them? And the most terrifying question of all, if fate didn’t go wrong… what if fate finally went right? A Luna born to be rejected… becomes the most powerful of all."
