I was the perfect wife. For three years, I built my husband's empire, gave him my love, my loyalty, my designs. And how did Victor Hale repay me? He stole my womb. He stole my daughter. He stole my freedom. That was the day Aurora Hale died. Now I live as Rhea Ashford — and I want blood. One reckless night, I mistake Damien Voss, a ruthless crime-lord biker with a wicked smile, for his powerful CEO twin brother. One bed. One touch. One unforgettable sin. When Damien discovers who I am and what I want, he makes me a deal: marry him, and he'll give me the power and protection to ruin the man who destroyed me. It's easy. He wants me, so I become his bride. I want revenge, so he becomes my weapon. But Damien isn't just temptation in leather and ink. He's dangerous. Addictive. A man who plays by no rules but his own. And in this contract marriage tangled with lust and lies, I can't tell if I'm the one using him— Or if he's already claimed me as his. BOOK 1 OF THE PRINCES OF SIN TRILOGY ******* Excerpt: "I'm looking for my kitten," he says. "She ran away this morning." "She's about this tall." His hand lifts, stopping exactly at my height. Of course it does. "Brown fur. Hazel eyes. Very pretty little thing." His mouth curves. "Sharp mouth. Bad attitude. Thinks she's smarter than everyone in the room." I hate that my body answers anyway—pulse spiking, thighs pressing together under the table, heat blooming low and treacherous. "I might have," I repeat, calm and clear. I uncross and recross my legs. "She didn't look lost," I say. "She looked… disappointed." "Disappointed," he repeats, faintly amused. "Yes." I lift my chin. "She realized she'd picked the wrong brother."

Where did she go? How can he make her his? Will it even matter when a dark family secret involving both families could threaten any chance of happiness?

"I, Valerie Ava Montrell…reject you, Alpha Ronald Ewan, and the Blood Moon Pack as my pack!" "Don't you dare, Omega! You will regret it," Ronald seethed, clutching his chest in pain as the bond snapped. Before he could reach me, Alpha Niklaus stepped forward, lifting me into his arms and striding out. "Keep the girl down, Alpha Niklaus." Niklaus only tightened his hold on me, his gaze sweeping over them. "Valerie is no longer a member of this pack," he declared, before cupping my face with surprising gentleness. "And I am not leaving here without her, because she is my mate." "You are f*ck*ng lying!" Ronald bellowed, a growl vibrating through his chest."Prove to us that she is your mate." My new mate let out a low chuckle. "And how do they prove the mate bond? Will a kiss do?" His eyes locked with mine, asking for permission. My heart raced, but I found myself nodding. Niklaus closed the distance between us and captured my lips in a kiss. My knees went weak instantly, the mate bond surging to life and intensifying what should have been a simple kiss. Mates are supposed to protect each other—but why do mine keep tearing my soul apart? As Alpha Ronald's mate, I thought I'd hit the jackpot. But time proved that it was the worst thing that could ever happen to me. I was left wondering if even the goddess herself had forsaken me. Just when I had given up on everything, the impossible happened: I found another mate, another Alpha. Would he be my salvation—or my downfall? Would he treat me with the care I'd longed for, or would he turn out to be just like the one before him? With my heart still fragile from the abuse I had endured, trusting again seemed impossible. Yet something about this stranger pulled me in, making me wonder: could I finally have the love I deserve, or am I about to face an even greater monster in disguise?

"It's normal for an Alpha to have two mates, Winter. A few months ago, I realized Crystal is also my mate—and I can't ignore that." Kallias said calmly. He looked at me with that same arrogant certainty. "I won't release you as my Luna. I'll make history, Winter—one Alpha, two Lunas." For a moment, I could only stare at him. Then I smiled bitterly. "I, Winter Ashbane of the Winterwood Pack, reject you, Kallias Thorn, as my mate. From this moment on, you are nothing to me." I thought my life was perfect—an Alpha's wife, loved and cherished, destined for a happy future. Until the healers told me I could never bear a child. My maid and closest friend, Crystal, offered to be our surrogate. I believed in her kindness… until the night of the attack. She pushed me into the fire, and my husband chose to save her instead. When I woke from the flames, I learned she was carrying his child—and he called it fate. He said it was natural for an Alpha to have two mates. He said he would build a pack with two Lunas. The woman who once lived for love died that night. Now, I am no longer the gentle Luna they once adored but a broken soul burning with vengeance. I will give anything—do anything—even if it means striking a deadly bargain with Valtor North, the Rogue King feared by every Alpha. But fate is cruel. A dangerous, forbidden desire ignites between me and the man I should hate—the sworn enemy of my kind. Torn between duty and desire, I face the ultimate choice: conquer the storm… or let it consume me whole.

He lifted his hand and brushed a strand of hair from my face, fingers grazing too gently. I snapped, "How many times do I have to tell you not to touch me?" His mouth curved, the faintest smirk. "You walked in here looking like a f*ck*ng temptation. And you think I'm not supposed to touch you?" I tilted my chin, refusing to back down. "Funny. I thought you said I didn't look good." He leaned closer, voice low, eyes burning through me. "You don't look good. You look dangerous." My chest tightened, heat crawling under my skin.

My name is Katia; I want to find my fated mate and live a peaceful life raising our pups. The problem is I have holes in my memories and don’t understand who or what I am. I know I am a werewolf, but I am also something else. Rejection is the last straw! I am not worthy is the reason he gives. The pain doubles me over; my wolf is whimpering in my head, and tears are running down my face. I whispered my acceptance of his rejection and took off running. I ran through the pack house out across the green manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me, and our life has been difficult. She whispers," It's not your fault, Katia." I don't know how long or far we ran, but we came to a cliff with a waterfall. The pain from the rejection is unbearable, and the hurt keeps pounding at me. I know I am missing something. Aza, my wolf, feels it, too; she says we are more than regular werewolves and are here for a reason. We cannot remember the reason. I stand staring at the water running over and down, creating the fall. I wonder what the reason is for the millionth time. Why can I or Aza not remember? Does it have something to do with the way others treat us? The way we have been sent to live with different people since the death of our parents? Does it have something to do with why my fated rejected me? I am tired of figuring out why our memories do not make sense. My sweet girl and I want peace, but we do not know how to obtain it. I stand staring into the oblivion of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. So I stand there rejected, half a wolf, speaking with my Wolfie, my nickname for Aza, debating what we should do next. Someone was yelling my name from the direction I ran. I do not want to go back there. I hear laughter. Turning, I glance down over the cliff. There is another pack having a barbecue. The adults are laughing and watching the pups play. What looks to be the Alpha, beta, and gamma of the pack are in the water playing Marco Polo with some of the children. They look so happy and carefree. I want that. I wonder if Aza and I ever have a life like that.

"I, George Brooke, Alpha of the Moonchasers Pack, reject you, Lily Rain, as my mate and Luna of this pack," I heard George's voice reach my ear and a single tear ran down my left cheek as it felt like my heart was being ripped out of my chest. Why me? Why am I always on the receiving end of bad things? What have I ever done to deserve this? I wanted to scream and shout at him. I'm his mate, his fated one and he's rejecting me because I'm the runt of the pack? More tears ran down my cheeks and I saw him smile at my misfortune. "I, Lily Rain, accept..." I did not finish my sentence before he held me up by my throat and snarled in my face. His eyes had already changed colors so I knew his wolf was in charge. "You will not reject me, sl*t. I am your owner and I tell you what to do and when," he slapped me across the face and threw me on the ground. I struggled to catch my breath and tears ran down my face freely. I shouldn't have been born, I haven't done anything to deserve this at all. ***************************************** Lily's life is turned upside down after the death of her parents. Once an alpha, she is stripped to an omega in her own pack and is made to live miserably.
