Chapter 1But I was at the beach!

"It feels so good to finally be here!" Anna took a deep breath as the cool breeze gushed through her hair making her hair dance in all the directions. The humid air and the smell of seaweeds filled her nose awakening all her senses. The golden sand and the sparkling light caused by the reflection of sunlight from water waves made it appear like a thousand tiny diamonds. The screeching of the seagulls and the sound of the waves splashing on the stones had a captivating effect on her. Anna held her arms wide open as if trying to take all the sand and the seawater in her embrace.

"Tie them in a ponytail, Anna. You have been here for long enough to make your scalp go all dried up", said Alira Campbell, Anna's support system-her best friend, while handing a hairband to Anna.

"Yeah, I'll do that in five minutes."

"Ahh- Don't be so childish Anna, C'mon. Take it."

"But I don't want them to-"

"Don't you even dare to give me your puppy face. I won't melt this time." Alira raised her eyebrows, emphasizing on her point.

"Please Alira, just look at the shimmering water. It's so relaxing."

"It's salt water, Ann..."

"And… Salt water is beneficial for the skin. It detoxes, treats wounds and also reduces swelling"

"On the other hand, staying here for too long can also cause osmosis, leaving dehydrated skin as a gift for you" Alira stated.

"Pfft! You are such a nerd!" Anna grumbled.

"You are such a child" Alira replied.

“This is no fun. I won't ask you to join me ever again. You are so-“before Anna could complete her sentence, a big-monstrous wave came in from the sea and splashed onto her, leaving her drenched from head to toe.

"Yeah... this is what I missed a lot." a smile formed on Anna's face while Alira couldn't stop laughing. "Just look at your face," Alira spoke while stifling her squeal. "Stop laughing and pass me my bag.". Alira looked for the bag and passed it on to Anna.

"Where is it?" Anna said while looking for something in her bag. "Have you seen my towel? I can't seem to find it.", she enquired.

"It must be in your bag only. Search properly" Alira replied while typing something on her phone.

"Got it." Anna took out the handkerchief and started wiping her face. "I don't know what is wrong with Alira. Why doesn't she like beaches?. I don't think she is having fun here." she closed her eyes and patted the towel on her eyes as well. "Hey, what's the time now?"

"....."

"Ali... what time is it now?" she asked again while the towel was still on her face.

"....."

"Alira what's wrong?"

"....."

Anna freezed on her spot. "Why isn't Alira giving any response?", she was constantly asking this question. Every second was making her heart hammer in her chest. With a great difficulty, she fought the rising panic and removed the towel to see what was the matter with her friend.

"What The fudge!" Anna's eyes widened and the blood swiftly started getting drained away from her face, leaving it look like ashes.

Utter darkness was all around her. The eyes dilated and her eyelids retracted but she couldn't see a thing. The smell of seaweeds, which earlier filled her nose awakening her senses, was now the odor of rotten eggs and decaying vegetation. The sound of seagulls screeching and the waves splashing on the stones could no longer be heard-there was dead silence. The cool breeze which made her hair dance in all the directions was no longer there.

"What place is this?"

"I was at the beach"

"How did I end up here?"

With shaking hands, Anna tried to reach for her phone in her pocket. Her eyes widened and her heart skipped a beat when she couldn't find her phone. "Where is it? What is wrong with everything?" A tear formed into the corner of her eye. "I want to go home" she wailed. She curled down on her knees and covered her face with her arms, hoping that everything goes normal again when she will remove her arms.

"God please, Help me!" She prayed. Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, she slowly removed her fingers from her eyes to see.

Nothing changed. The more she looked at the darkness, the more scarier it appeared to her.

"What are you doing here?" A familiar voice called out to her.

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!

Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas

Valerie, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Yellow Stone Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Luna wolf. Her mate, Tristan, was made the Alpha in her stead. After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate. She was caught in bed with a stranger, meaning that she would sell the pack out. The punishment for treachery is death,” Alpha Tristan announced heartlessly. The chants from the pack members and visiting Alphas who had come for the Alphas' conference attracted them to the judgment. No one thought that Alpha Denzel, whose name caused the hairs on their skin to stand straight due to his ruthlessness, would make it to the conference. Valerie found hope when she realized that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate, but painstakingly, she was rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was condemned to die by all the Alphas present. She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Denzel left and a warrior was ready to execute her. Everyone was shocked when Alpha Denzel suddenly turned around. “Stop! The treacherous daughter of a late Alpha should not be killed. More suffering awaits her,” he declared. Valerie’s heart dropped when she saw his dark look, which was like a bottomless pit, as she blacked out from exhaustion. A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

She couldn’t leave― there was nowhere else to go. Soleia desperately wanted her husband to return so he could offer her a helping hand. However, when he did, he returned with Elowyn, a woman he claimed was his true love.

Unknown to Soleia, a man more powerful than her husband had been watching her, waiting for the right time to snatch her into his gilded cage. Duke Elsher had been foolish to let go― but the crown prince of Raxuvia wouldn’t make the same mistake. *** [Excerpt] After two long years, Soleia's husband had finally returned home. But he was not alone. “Your Grace,” Soleia said, trying her best to maintain a calm tone, “welcome home. How were your travels?” The man remained silent as he stared at her. “Oh,” the woman that Soleia's husband had brought back said. “I was just wondering where the servants were. No one has come to greet you since your return. Could you please help us bring―” Orion tugged the woman back, protectively holding her in his embrace. His eyebrows furrowed as he glared at Soleia, his sudden action causing the woman to look confused at him. “Orion?” she asked, her hands on his chest to steady herself. “What’s the matter?” “That’s not a servant." In one swift motion, he threw the sword out at Soleia, only to be stopped by a flash of scarlet and the coppery scent of blood. *** Prequel to Stolen by the Rebel King.

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy.
