"Are you mad!!!!!"
The words cut through the night like a blade.
Naira did not turn. She stood at the edge of the river with her cloak pulled tight around her shoulders, staring at the black water as if it might swallow her thoughts.
Behind her, her sister stepped closer. "Do you know what you have done?"
Naira swallowed. "I know what I survived."
"That is not an answer."
The wind dragged dead leaves across the ground. Somewhere beyond the trees, wolves howled, their voices distant but watchful.
"You lay with the Alpha," her sister said again, slower this time. "After his brother rejected you."
Naira's fingers curled into fists.
"He did more than reject me," she said quietly. "He promised me a bond. He promised me a name. Then he gave it to another woman and told me to forget him."
Her sister scoffed. "And so you chose the throne instead?"
"I chose not to die poor and forgotten," Naira snapped.
Silence fell between them.
The Alpha's house rose on the hill like a scar in the dark. Stone walls. Iron gates. The center of all decisions.
"You will be called a mistress," her sister said. "They will spit your name like poison."
"They already do," Naira replied. "Even before this."
Her sister stepped closer. "What about the Luna?"
Naira looked away.
"She watches everything."
"And she will destroy you."
Naira pressed a hand to her stomach.
"She cannot touch what she does not know," she said.
Her sister froze. "What do you mean?"
The words came out like a confession and a curse.
"I am with child."
The night seemed to hold its breath.
"...Whose?" her sister asked slowly.
Naira lifted her chin. "The Alpha's."
A sharp breath escaped her sister's lips. "You have sentenced yourself."
"I have saved myself," Naira whispered.
"You think this will protect you?"
"It already has."
Her sister shook her head. "You should have left the pack. You should have run."
"And go where?" Naira demanded. "To starve among rogues? To be hunted like meat?"
"You would have lived."
"Living is not the same as surviving."
Her sister looked at her with something close to fear.
"What will you tell them?"
Naira hesitated.
"I will say the child belongs to his brother."
Her sister stared. "You will lie?"
"I will breathe," Naira said. "I will walk in daylight. I will not beg again."
The river whispered beside them.
"You will destroy him," her sister said. "The brother."
"He destroyed me first."
"Two wrongs do not make safety."
"They make silence."
Footsteps broke the night.
Both women turned.
The Alpha stepped from the trees, his presence bending the space around him. His cloak moved like shadow. His eyes were cold, unreadable.
"You should not meet here," he said.
"I belong nowhere else," Naira answered.
His gaze dropped to her stomach.
"You told her."
"Yes."
He studied her sister. "She will keep quiet."
Her sister swallowed but said nothing.
"No one must know," the Alpha continued. "Not the Luna. Not the council."
"And when the child is born?" Naira asked.
His jaw tightened. "The child will not carry my name."
"She will carry your blood."
"That is worse."
Naira stepped closer. "Then why did you touch me?"
"Because you were already broken."
The words struck deep.
"And because power does not refuse what comes to it."
The Alpha turned away. "You will live in the lower quarters."
"I will."
"You will be invisible."
"I already am."
"And the child-"
"She will be safe," Naira said. "Or I will burn this pack myself."
The Alpha's eyes darkened. "Do not threaten what you cannot control."
"I already control the truth," Naira replied.
He said nothing.
The wind rose.
"Go," he said finally. "Before someone sees you."
Naira bowed her head.
As she walked away, her sister followed.
"You are walking into fire," her sister whispered.
"I have lived in ashes," Naira replied.
And somewhere inside her, something small and unaware shifted - a life born from rejection, power, and lies.
A life that would pay for a secret made beside a river.

I found out my husband of three years had cheated on me and his mistress is the one who told me-because he didn't have the balls to do it himself.
I move out and get a new apartment, a job as a bartender, and try to move on with a broken heart. I wonder where it all went wrong, if I hadn't been enough for him, if I'd been stupid for marrying him in the first place.
I'm at work one night when he walks inside-the most beautiful man I've ever seen. He sits at the bar and a forest fire burns between us. I was depressed the moment before he entered, but the second I look at his blue eyes, I forget the dumpster fire that my life has become. I invite him back to my place and it's the most passionate night of my life. I expect to never see him again.
I just want him as an anti-depressant-but he wants me all to himself. I just got my heart ripped out of my chest so I want something easy and no-strings-attached, but he wants all the strings because he's hooked.
I don't get much of a say in the matter, and that's not surprising when I learn why-because he's the Butcher. The crime lord of all crime lords, the boss that overshadows all of Paris, that makes everyone abide by his rules-or pay.
And now I'm his.

My boyfriend, Jefferson, convinced me to give up my Yale scholarship for him. He was my secret, my escape from the shame of my mother's past, and I threw away my future for our love.
Then, at a gala, he publicly announced his engagement to Aubrey Carroll-the girl who made my high school years a living hell.
He trapped me in his mansion, forcing me to become her personal servant. She tortured me daily, culminating in her brutally killing our dog, Charlie, with a garden trowel.
When her friends arrived, they joined in, stripping me half-naked and live-streaming my panic attack for the world to see.
The man who once promised to protect me watched as they destroyed me.
But as I lay bleeding out on the floor, it wasn't an ambulance that arrived. It was the private security of Alexzander Stevens-my estranged, billionaire grandfather.
He revealed I was his sole heiress, and now, we were going to make them pay for every last tear.

One night of deception.
A lifetime of consequences.
A bond that cannot be broken.
Nadia Williams is an Omega living in the shadows of the pack she once called home.
Since her father's death, she and her mother, Estelle, have been treated as outcasts by her ruthless uncle, Alpha Edwards. When her mother is framed for theft, Nadia is forced into a deal with the devil.
To save her mother's life, she must become a virgin substitute for her cousin, Danielle.
Her aunt, Katerina, offers a devil's bargain to set her mother free: Nadia must spend one night in the bed of the most powerful man in the country, the billionaire; Alpha Conrad Bradley.
The catch?
She must swap places with her spiteful cousin.
Conrad demands a virgin bride to secure his royal bloodline, and Danielle, Nadia's cruel cousin, has already forfeited her purity.
What begins as a desperate night of passion in the dark spirals into a web of hidden identities and betrayal.
Nadia survives the night and disappears, hoping to bury the shame of the encounter forever.
But fate has a different plan.
Desperate for a fresh start away from her uncle's shadow, Nadia secures a high-level position at Bradley Group of Industries.
As Alpha Conrad unknowingly hires Nadia at his company, an undeniable connection sparks between them.
Conrad is haunted by the scent of the woman from that night-a scent that doesn't match his fiancée, Danielle, but seems to cling to his new, brilliant employee.
As they work side-by-side, Nadia finds an unexpected and beautiful second chance at a life she thought was lost.
Yet, buried secrets threaten to destroy everything.
When the Alpha discovers the woman he truly bonded with, the fallout will be legendary.

Nora's life turned into a nightmare after she was banished from her pack by her own husband. She was subjected to mockery, abuse and humiliation before being cast out with nothing.
Faced with the cruelty of a world that had never once been kind to her, the moon goddess decided to bless her with her fated mate.
The same man she watched slaughter others without a single trace of mercy. The man who was twice as cold and twice as ruthless as the husband who destroyed her.
Yet he would not let her go. She found herself stuck between the husband who used her and the ruthless mate who wanted her but refused to admit it. Two powerful men. One woman who was never supposed to survive any of it. And a moon goddess who was not done with her yet.

I single-handedly saved my family's corporate empire from a hostile takeover, securing our market share for the next decade.
But my grandfather didn't see me as a hero. He saw me as a flawed piece of inventory.
To calm the board and fix the reputation I supposedly ruined, he forced me into an arranged marriage, auctioning me off to the highest bidder.
Desperate, I turned to my childhood friend, Egnacio, the only person who ever promised to protect me.
But instead of saving me, he publicly humiliated me. He used my desperation as a networking opportunity, pitching my arranged marriage as a business deal to a ruthless private equity king named Dexter Mathews.
Later that night, I caught Egnacio holding my cruel cousin in his arms.
"What man wants to be with a woman who looks at you like she's planning a hostile takeover?"
Hearing him mock my pain shattered the last bit of hope I had.
I realized I was never family to them. I was just a sharp knife, used to cut down their enemies and then traded for cash before I got dull.
The heartbreak vanished, replaced by a cold, violent rage.
I didn't break, and I didn't run.
Instead, I got into the back of Dexter Mathews's car. He had watched my family tear me apart, but he didn't see a broken pawn. He saw a queen.
And together, we were going to burn their entire empire to the ground.

Not only was I drugged, blinded and assaulted. I was deceived into carrying a baby by a stranger I never knew. Then he appeared and took my child away.
I was sent to a militia by the father of my child. I thought I was rescued but I was recruited to be a weapon for killing. Who was manipulating me, I didn't know. The answers were far from what I knew.
Forced to blend into the world that I could never believe I would be to, a place where brutality reigned, kill or be killed was the only language. I have survived but he has to pay for everything he did to me, because I believed every phase of my life was set by him and him alone. Have I really survived?
Who would have thought, he existed twice in the same world? Do I really know who I should take revenge on? Him or the person I would sacrifice everything for?
Was my mother the one who orchestrated everything? What kind of pawn am I?
