What happens when she discovers this Alpha was her second chance mate? Is she finally going to be happy or has fate tricked her yet again?

Aleena Martins was never one to believe in the supernatural. To her, they were merely a folktale fantasy in which humans feasted, trying to make excuses for the pitiful life in the hope that a deity out there might hear their prayers and come to their heed. She had ignored every warning that told of his coming. Shut down every word that spoke about his claim on her. But all that changes, when a mysterious man shows up weeks after her eighteenth birthday, with one single aim. To take what was promised to him. What happens when two opposing worlds collide? When evil meets good, and innocence meets sinful. ◇◇◇ “You disobeyed me, Ares voaток. Why?” he whispered, stroking my hair. I nuzzled my face into his hand, my eyes closing in bliss from the simple contact. “Do I still need to remind you who you belong to?”

Davina had nothing else in her mind except to graduate high school, find a date to prom, save up enough money to attend college, get a job and make her parents' life easier.

Everything turned upside down when a loan shark crashed down her parents door and set his eyes on her, the single word that left his lips, changed her entire life forever.

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"

"Today, I, Alpha Carlos Vert of Crest Pack, reject you as my mate, Mavana." With a harsh and icy voice, Alpha Carlos said, generating mutters from the assembly. Mavana was confused and sad but all of a sudden, her face broke into a disparaging smile as she clapped back boldly, "I reject your rejection, Alpha; you can not do that." As the most despised Omega in Crest pack, Mavana shocked the assembled crowd. An Omega who has always been despised and detested. How could she respond to the Alpha with words of her own? What made her so fearless? Mavana grinned and grinned, rolling her eyes at the people's shocked expressions. "Rather, I, Mavana Fae of Crest Pack, decline your offer to be my mate, Alpha Carlos Vert." She sensed the mate bond being severed the instant the words left her voice cord.

"She doesn't remember getting married. Why? Sophia went to Las Vegas only to drink her pain away. Little did she imagine, she would end up becoming someone's wife. But who’s the lucky guy? Who knows? Even she doesn't remember. She was f*ck*ng intoxicated! All she has is a marriage contract with an expiry date and a bank balance big enough to pop her eyes out. Contractual terms: 1. Do not marry anyone else unless I permit you. 2. Try not to wh*r* around. Your mother-in-law wouldn't be happy. 3. If I request a live-in relationship. You have to comply. 4. S*x is optional. 5. Contract Termination? Sorry Honey... In my family, couples don’t divorce. PS: I was kidding. Let's catch-up after three years to end this sh*t and get more money. If there are rules against having s*x while drunk, there should be rules against getting married while drunk too. Because THIS isn't fair!"

"Faye, you need to get yourself together and accept that Alpha Timerante doesn't love you. It's the only way for you to get rid of him for good," my wolf said to me. In front of me, Timerante was holding his injured lover, blaming me for her injuries. He even demanded my blood and even my heart to save that despicable third party. How absurd! "I, Faye Martinez, reject you, Alpha Timerante Thompson, as my mate! Forever!" Upon hearing my words, Timerante seemed momentarily disbelieving, then sneered. "Faye, it is only I who rejects you. You have no right to reject me." "Is that so?" I looked at these detestable sh*t heads. Under my dominance, the mate bond between Timerante and me finally shattered. For the first time in over half a year, I felt free, as if I could finally breathe. And this time, it was Timerante's turn to look shocked. "Who... Who are you? How could our mate bond break without my permission?" "Moon Goddess, I, Faye Martinez, am willing to answer your call and become the Blood Priestess!" As I spoke, I looked at William. Flames appeared alongside my white wolf, accompanied by an even more powerful crimson light. Finally, I gazed at them and uttered indifferently. "Submit or die?"

I, Sulli, the wolfless werewolf, found myself exiled from my pack, the Nixx Pack. My parents' wrongdoing had cost them their lives and our pack dearly. Lost and with nowhere to turn, I ended up in the woods and got attacked by rogue wolves. I was unaware that I'd trespassed into the territory of the BrimeStone Pack, rivals of the Nixx Pack. Unable to defend myself, I ran until I reached a dead end. I thought all hope was lost when I heard a commotion. The rogue wolves were dropping dead one by one. I covered my ears and eyes, huddling in a corner. When the sounds ceased, I slowly opened my eyes, and they fell upon a tall, brooding stranger. The creature knocked me out. Upon waking, I found myself in a cottage. I got to find out the owner was Ron, a barbarian Alpha and protector of the BrimeStone Pack. I was terrified of him, but I had no other place to go. I had to stay with him, even though he didn't want me around and preferred solitude. I noticed he was cold, rarely spoke, and had a short temper. We argued over the smallest things. During our time together, I once ventured out and bumped into the Werewolf Prince of the BrimeStone Pack, Cole. He became utterly smitten with me and that's when life got more complicated. Why did I feel that Cole was my mate, despite Ron and I sharing the same birthmark on our chests?

“Who is she?" I asked, feeling tears well up in my eyes. "He met her at the Alpha training camp," he said. "She is a perfect suitor for him. It snowed last night, indicating that his wolf is happy with his choice." My heart sank, and tears made their way down my cheeks. Alexander took my innocence last night, and now he is taking that thing in his office as his Luna.

"You think you have a choice?" Vittorio squeezed my waist tighter with his other hand, and his voice was a deadly whisper drawing me closer. “ You were never going to be anyone else's from the moment I set eyes on you”. His words cut through me, making my chest tighten with fear "You're ours, kitten," he murmured, his gaze locking with mine, stealing the air from my lungs. "You will be claimed, controlled, and touched in all the ways I choose. Do you understand?" "I... I understand," I whispered, my resistance crumbling under the weight of his dark green stare. "You’ll lay before me, Katarina," he growled, "and show me just how desperate you are for me." Katarina’s world is broken when her brother Mateo dies trying to settle her crippling debt, a debt her father had bargained for by selling her to Mafia Don Giordano.

In the deadly rivalry between two mafia kings, Katarina is caught between vengeance, submission, and an undeniable lust for the man who now owns her, an attraction that may either destroy her or set her free.

“Please just kill me. Please.." with tears in my eyes I begged for my own death. I am not one to have suicidal thoughts but I could no longer bear the humiliating torture I was being subjected to any more. However my abductor smiled at my pain and suffering with joy. “You will surely meet your end but it will be when I decide your pu"*y is no longer of use to me and my men. But don't think that's the only terrible thing I can do to you. So you better apologize to me and my honored guest before I allow the dogs and horses to also get a taste of you too and make no mistake it's not going to be pleasant at all," he said wickedly and I felt so humiliated.. How did my life end up this way? Physically assaulted, starved, molested and made naked; being offered as an object of pleasure to his uncharacteristically attractive but intimidating guest? I used to have a perfect life. A family who cares for me and a man who loves and cherishes me. He only just proposed to me yesterday and I have been dreaming of raising a happy family with him. So where did it go wrong? Oh, I remember now. I was stabbed in the back by the person I love and trusted the most. I didn't know she has always been envious and jealous of my happiness. My best friend Gloria, she betrayed me and sold me out to a gang of ruthless thugs to be violated and murdered. However when it seemed all hope was lost the person I least expect to help me would be my savior.

"My fiancé cheated on me with my best friend, and I told him I'd sleep with any man just to call it even. So, will you sleep with me?" I spat. He took a step back, eyebrows raised."No strings attached? No cuddling, no phone calls, and no matter how good we f**k, we leave it at that." After a one-night stand with the Mafia god, Ace, Aubrey found out she was married to him and no memory of saying yes. But the real shock comes when she learns her ex-fiancé, Xavier—the man who cheated on her with her best friend—isn't just a liar. He's a drug lord. And a killer. Now caught between two dangerous men on opposite sides of a bloody war, Aubrey must navigate a world of secrets, lust, and deadly loyalty. Xavier wants her back—not out of love, but obsession. Ace? He says he doesn't do love. But the way he protects her, touches her, claims her… tells a different story. Torn between the man she thought she loved and the one who just might teach her what real love—and real pleasure—feels like, Aubrey must make a choice. Would Aubrey choose Xavier who she had loved all her life even after finding out he is a serial killer or would she give the Mafia god a chance to show that he can love her better and f**k her better?
