Chapter 1THE OLD LADY AND THE DEAL

RACHELLE'S POV

I sigh deeply as I finished the last surgery scheduled for today. I had to admit that working as a surgeon is exhausting however, once you see that smiles of the families after giving them the good news. Because their loved ones are safe is quite… satisfying? No delightful maybe? I'm not sure. To be honest however the idea of saving lives is worth giving everything I had.

Those thoughts remained as I walk along the white-painted halls of the hospital, to approach the parents of the little girl I just operated on. Even though I'm still a few feet away their stress is visible with crumple clothes and red eyes with bags underneath. I could feel their uneasiness, the anxiety, the worry, the horrible thought that their little angel might not see another day.

It was quite unfortunate really, one moment the family was on their merry way to the mall. Then out of nowhere robbers showed up, the police came and the next thing they know they are in a crossfire. And now their daughter was on the verge of death.

My steps became lighter and lighter as I draw near, I flashed them a small smile and in a quick moment, the thick atmosphere vanished. Their eyes glitter with hope, awaiting the good news.

I remained silent for a moment. Then said, "Hello, I'm Doctor Rachelle Heartford and I'm pleased to inform you that your daughter is now in a stable condition." They both sighed in relief.

"However we still have to wait, since she's still in post-anesthetic care. Also, we need to watch her close in case any post-surgery complications occur."

With that, the father said how grateful he is, while on the other hand, the mother is crying out as she keeps saying thank you.

All I did was nod and smile to them one last time before saying my excuses and leave, heading to finish more paper works.

As I turned my heel I caught a glimpse of an old lady, looking at with a smile. But it wasn't a warm smile nor is it kind, if anything it was like she was mocking me. However, when I looked back she wasn't there anymore, nothing more than a wide empty space and the couple making their way to the lobby.

I decided to shrug it off maybe I was just seeing things due to fatigue. I just finished a long surgery after all. Yes, maybe… I'm just tired.

The day went as quickly as it started, before I knew it my shift was over and I could finally go home and take some well-deserved rest.

After my final rounds, I went to the locker room to gather my things to head out in the parking lot.

As I was walking along the dark and dull parking place to find my car, I saw the security guard checking up on something. And as he finished what his doing, he raised his head and saw me. He nodded as he recognized my presence, while I smiled at him to return the gesture.

Reaching my car I was ready, excited even to go home and have some rest.

However, before getting any closer I saw the old lady again, the very same old lady I saw in the corridor outside the operating room.

I have to be honest I'm quite scared this old lady could be some kind of psycho for all I know, although still I gathered my courage and stepped a little closer. I asked, "Hello Madam, may I help you?"

She chucked "Absolutely not"

With a short pause, she spoke again "but on the other hand, I…can help you"

After saying those words she quickly took a step forward.

My heart jumped from the sudden movement and I was almost tempted to sprint from fear and shock. However, I gathered my composure and calmly ask "with what ma'am?"

"I can help you find the person you are looking for"

I knitted my brows in confusion.

"But I'm not looking for anyone-"

"But of course you are, he's missing after all", she said cutting me off before I have the chance to finish.

I hesitated for a moment, as I tried to make sense of her words.

But then like a train hitting a car, it occurred to me.

My father had been gone for a very long time now, could it be that this old lady knows something about his whereabouts.

I opened my mouth to speak but couldn't find the right words to say therefore I just closed it again like a gaping fish out of the water.

Then I relived the horrible memory twelve years ago, about the ship my father was working on sank. After the incident we never saw him again, not a shadow, not a body, not even a piece of clothing reached home. Just a piece of dreadful news, broken hearts, and tears stained eyes of his friend brave enough to tell us the events that occurred. However because my father's body was never found, my mother and I hold on… to the tiniest glimmer of hope. That my father is alive and is yet to find his way home, but after the years I knew everything was true and we are just yet to let go.

A small chuckle brought me back to reality, as I look at the old lady all my hope and longing from a past long forgotten one again resurface. She could be the answer we've been seeking, the miracle that we've been waiting for.

After a few more moments of silence, shock, and realization: I finally spoke again.

"Where is he? Is he alive? Is he alright? Why did you wait for this long to tell us?"

The old lady chucked once more as if testing my patience, then she spoke "His alive and doing quite well, TOO well if I may. However, I'm not telling you where he is"

At that moment I almost have had enough and snap "WHAT?! BUT YOU SAY YOU'LL HELP ME?!" I shouted furiously.

The old lady only wiggled her right index.

"Ah… but the help was by telling you his alright and that he is alive. His location however is another matter"

She's playing with me and I know it, therefore I decided to stay calm and wait.

"But of course I could lead you to him, for a price of course" she finished.

Of course, why am I not surprised.

"Name your price" I answered as I took out my check from my handbag.

She eyed me and said "Don't mock me, girl… Money is not what I'm after"

I scoffed "Then what? Ask away and I will give it to you"

"The payment is not to be collected at this moment, however in due time I will and when that moment comes I do hope you are ready," she said almost victoriously. She stepped closer and extended her bony right hand "shake my hand to seal the deal"

With helpless longing and a judgment clouded with pride and anger. I shook her hand.

I knitted my brows and said "It's a deal then"

"Here, take this locket and the person you're looking for have the same one" she handed me a locket with a red teardrop-shaped gem in the middle.

Confused I looked up to the old lady, only to find out that she was gone.

Suddenly the all of the cars in the parking lot started blaring and with their flashing lights and loud noise. I closed my eyes and covered my ears.

I felt myself collapsing...

And when I finally came to, I was laying on the ground.

As I stand back up, for a moment I stood in silence and shock. I can't help but think either I'm dreaming or am I drunk.

It took a moment for everything to register in my mind.

I… I'm in a totally different place.

I'm no longer in the parking lot. It would seem that I'm in a different country.

But something is telling me that, that wasn't the case. The people around me are wearing either a fine suit or an extravagant gown.

I could only bit my lips in confusion, worry, and a question in mind.

What in the world have I gotten myself into?

Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Eighteen-year-old Trinity is unlike any other werewolf in her pack. For one, there were unusual circumstances surrounding her birth, for another, she is the only pack member to never shift into a wolf form. So now she doesn't quite belong anywhere. Not quite human and not quite wolf. She thought she would be able to live her life how she wanted when she had turned eighteen. Go to college, make some friends, have some fun. But what is she to do when the dangerously sexy Alpha literally falls right into her lap? "I am not human, and I am not a wolf. I don't belong anywhere..." "...we both know that no one is going to mate with me, and even if they did, they would just reject me anyway." What is the sexy, brooding Alpha going to do? The elders are making him hold these ridiculous parties to search for a mate. He doesn't want a mate, but he knows he needs a mate to finish the Alpha Circle. Without a mate, a Luna for the pack, his people would suffer. And what is he going to do when he stumbles across the girl that fate has chosen for him and he finds out she has no wolf? "This cannot be!" I roared. "There is no way that I can mate with a girl that does not even have a wolf. She will be too weak. She will be inferior. She will not be strong enough to be a Luna." "I simply could not accept her as my mate. Not fully. It wasn't safe for her. She would get herself killed. And she would bring my pack down with her." When these two meet, sparks will surely fly. But will it be from passion, or their constant fighting? Neither of them wanted a mate. Neither of them wants the mate that fate chose for them. And neither of them can make that mate bond go away. What are they going to do now that they're literally stuck with each other? ***Rating Warning*** Adult Language Violence Strong Sexual Content THIS BOOK IS UNDERDER AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT AND IT IS NOT TO BE POSTED OR PUBLISHED ANYWHERE ELSE.

A Luna for Alpha Kieran

Alpha Kieran Never Took the Same Woman Twice... Until Her! Exiled. Betrayed. Broken. Autumn knew love was a luxury,a blunt lie...until the most ruthless Alpha in the realm claimed her as his mate… only to publicly reject and humiliate her before his entire pack. But when the moon rises, his hands tell a different story. Night after night, he drags her into his bed, his teeth grazing her throat as he growls: "You are my property, little thief.Never forget that!" Secrets lurk beneath his cruelty. Lies poison their bond. And when Autumn discovers her long dead sister is alive...and wearing Kieran’s mark.. she will have to choose - Trust fate, trust the Moon Goddess who never favoured her. Or trust her guts! [ Disclaimer : There might be scenes that resemble or are near r*pe scenes. But definitely not in the exemplary way. They are there for a reason in the story. It reflects some reality of the brutal world they live in. It unfolds as we move ahead. If it bothers you, please stay away. And please keep in mind, this is a story about a kickass female lead, despite all her suffering, she still kicks balls. So if you want someone whimpering, shy submissive...stay away from the book. One more thing to keep in mind is the fact that Alpha Kieran isn't our typical 'hero' material. He has a disturbing past, is morally gray sometimes, takes rash decisions... And is severely flawed... But definitely this creates a massive scope for growth and character arch ( you are free to hate him but give him a chance to tell his story as he lives through the highs and the lows) . PS : This book will gradually introduce you to other supernatural creatures and lores that might not be typically connected to werewolf books. Though the story primarily follows a single love story, it is plot driven. Which means you will be introduced to several supporting characters on the way. So keep an open mind and try to immerse yourself in the experience. ( keep a look out for bonus side stories too ) Now, if you are ready...grab your seat belts and lets go on a ride. #HappyReading everyone

My Alphas' Dark Desires

WARNING: MATURE CONTENT I was eight when my world burned. My family was slaughtered; my home was reduced to ash. And the ones responsible? Gone. All they left behind was a black bandana embroidered with a nightshade thorn—a symbol of death. For ten years, I trained in the shadows. I became a weapon. Now, my hunt leads me to Prestige Supernatural Academy (PSA), the most elite werewolf school in the world—a place ruled by four Alpha heirs with too much power, arrogance, and dark desires. The night I arrive, I cross paths with Dristan, Kai, and Axel—heirs to the East, North, and West Alpha Kings. Arrogant. Vicious. Gods among wolves. They see me as nothing. A weak, powerless stray. They humiliate me, taunt me, overpower me— making me want to rip them apart. So, I make a vow: I’ll destroy them before they ever get the chance to destroy me. Then, on the eve of my 18th birthday, the Blood Moon rises. My wolf awakens. My power surges. And fate? That cruel, twisted bitch shackles me to all three of them. Mates. I want to reject them. I burn for them instead. And when I meet Xade, the wicked, silver-tongued heir to the Middle Belt Alpha King, the final bond snaps into place. Four possessive, dominant, and dangerously irresistible alphas. One vengeful, unbreakable wolf. And a deadly secret tying them to my past. Loving them could destroy me. Hating them could kill me. But in the end… who will ruin whom? And, fuck—why does my traitorous body want all four of them to do it? *************** “Say it.” Dristan’s voice was smooth and controlled in a way that promised devastation underneath. I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering as he cornered me against the desk. Kai was behind me, his warmth pressing into my back, his breath teasing my neck. Axel leaned in, lips curved in a sinful smirk, his hazel green eyes dark with amusement. “Say it, sweetheart. Say you don’t want us and we’ll let you be—maybe.” I clenched my fists. I wanted to tell them to fuck off—but my traitorous body? It was already betraying me.  My skin burned. My heart raced. My thighs clenched against the insufferable ache they caused just by existing. I lifted my chin, ignoring the heat curling low in my stomach. “I don’t—” “Liar.” The single word came from Xade, who had been silent until now. He was sitting in the professor’s chair, his crystal blue eyes burning into mine. He didn’t have to touch me. His voice alone was enough to undo me. He smirked, tilting his head. “You can fight it all you want, little wolf. But we can smell it.” Axel’s fingers traced the pulse at my throat. “Your heart’s pounding.” Kai’s lips brushed my ear. “Your body’s betraying you, love.” Dristan exhaled slowly, his gaze locked onto mine like a predator savouring its prey. “Your scent doesn’t lie, mate.” Fuck. My entire body was on fire. My legs trembled. My wolf purred in my head, eager to submit. I wouldn’t. I couldn’t. So, I did the only thing I could—I shoved Axel back, spun around, and tried to escape. I didn’t make it. Kai grabbed my wrist, yanking me back into his chest. I gasped, my palms slamming against his rock-solid torso. His golden eyes burned into mine. “Where do you think you’re going?” Axel was behind me now, his fingers sliding under my jaw, forcing my head up. “We’re not done with you, sweetheart.” Dristan smirked. “Not even close, mate.” "We're just getting started," Xade drawled. I was trapped. Caged. And the worst part? I didn’t want to run. ***************** Disclaimer: Cover mine, kindly do not use or replicate.
