I could feel his hot breath on my face as he stood over me making me feel small and scared "Mate" the alpha growled through clenched teeth I began to panic and he had to be wrong I was just a human I had no wolf "No I can't be you must be wrong It's impossible" The fear was thick I'm my voice "No! Your mine" alpha said grabbing me around the waist and pulling me flush against his chest He bent his face into the crook of my neck and inhaled deeply I shivered at the feeling of our bodies'electricity engulfing me and pulling a moan from my lips. "See little mate I know you feel it"

I felt his lips brush against my earlobe, a soft brush that suddenly made my toes curl. His breath lingered on my neck before he finally whispered, "I own you Crystal. The sooner you get to accept that the better for you. I'll make sure you submit yourself to me, be it the hard way or the easy way. And I'll break this ego of yours. I promise you" * * * * He was her beast and she was his beauty. He was addicted and she was his favourite drug. He was a sinner and she was his sin.

Blurb ~"Why is the best fruit always forbidden?"~ ALEC- I never came here searching for a mate. In fact I was running away from my miserable past and the shackles of what my fated future held for me. I just wanted to live a life of tranquility- a life away from my overbearing father and a too-perfect mother but that was not Fate's plan. For me, at least. It had prepared another hell for my icy heart and that hell happened to be my best friend's sister, Elristeya. The time we first met, all my primal instincts went haywire and I realized what had happened. They say I am the devil blessed with the face of an angel and cursed with the heart of a stone. One thing I am sure of is that I am the very devil Elristeya must not think of getting tangled with. One thing her brother had told me was that she was off-limits and I knew I could not trust my instincts not to cross that limit, at least not when she is my mate. ELRISTEYA- All I wanted is do is finish studies and move to the coasts to stay with my aunt who would help me in my future plans and maybe find the love of my life. But... I met him. The person I should not want to want. Heck, I should not even think of having. My brother's best friend, Alec Blackford. When the sparks shifted and a connection snapped into place between us, I figured I have a lot more to do like wanting to know the heart behind the icy exterior of the man I should not want or love and also finding out what secrets his eyes held. What secrets this adonis-like man had beneath his cold and brooding surface. They say when the fine line between love and hatred is blurred, what happens? Emotions are ruffled and pain is inevitable.

Ronan Callaghan is the devil of the city. As the leader of the Irish Mafia, he's ruthless to the core. But what I've been told and what I see are two vastly different things. This man is a cinnamon roll. And hes willing to burn the world to the ground, JUST. FOR. ME.

Broken. That's one word that can be used to describe Adrienne Knight. For her, life has no meaning. Made to believe she was no more than a piece of worthless property, Adrienne developed a rather grim outlook on life, and rightly so. Happiness seemed to elude her at every turn. From a mate that turned bad, to being tortured within an inch of her life by the same person she thought would protect her. She trusts no one and sees everything as a threat. When Alpha Lucas finds his mate, she isn't what he'd expected. She was a shattered puzzle he had to put together, piece by tiny piece. Some pieces are lost and he has to make new ones, making his job that much harder. It tugs at his heart when she flinches when he touches her, or when she braces for a hit at every movement of his. He wants to kill every person responsible for the mess that was his mate. But slowly, he manages to pull her from her downward spiral and into the light. Their love is one borne from darkness and pain and not even the joined forces of heaven and hell can tear them apart.
