Chapter 3
Brooke's sharp nails raked across my face, warm blood trickling into my eyes, painting my vision red. Still not satisfied, she unhooked the leashes of the dogs, letting them loose. "Haven't eaten yet, boys? This she-wolf's your dinner!"
The moment the restraints were off, the slobbering hounds lunged at me, their foul breath hot in my face. I threw up an arm to block, but their teeth sank into my flesh, piercing through with a searing jolt of pain. Fear and agony gripped me, and a heavy ache bloomed in my belly. The IVF had been grueling, my pregnancy symptoms brutal. The healer had warned me: if I didn't take care, this pup wouldn't make it. Already, blood was pooling beneath me.
Someone in the crowd, nervous about the escalation, tried to reason with her. "Don't let this get deadly. Just toss her out."
Brooke snorted, but a lackey jumped in to butter her up. "Brooke's Jason's favorite. Last time someone outbid her for jewelry at the auction, they were groveling at her feet the next day!"
"Even if something happens, Jason's got her back. What's there to worry about?"
Tank, the ringleader, dragged me toward the gate, spitting vile insults. "Brooke's my cousin, and Jason's her mate! You homewrecking vixen, you deserve what's coming!"
My scalp burned as Brooke grabbed my hair, a flicker of jealousy in her eyes as she glared at my face. "His mate couldn't even outshine me. You, a side piece, think you can dream bigger?"
Her words hit like a slap. "You knew he was bound?"
She smirked. "Some washed-up she-wolf? Jason's been done with her for ages. Why else would he ship her off other packs?"
He hadn't told her I'd gone abroad to carry his pup through IVF. Before I could respond, her expression turned venomous. "You think you can claw your way up with a pup? You're not that lucky!"
She drove her foot into my stomach. The pain was blinding, dropping me to my knees. I could feel the faint pulse of my pup's life fading, and panic clawed at my chest. "This pup is Jason's! Get me to a healer, now! If this pup doesn't make it, he'll have your hides!"
The crowd stirred at the sight of my blood, but Tank roared back, "This is Holloway pack business! Anyone calls the enforcers, you're done!"
He pinned me to the ground, forcing my head up as he groveled to Brooke. "Go ahead, Brooke, let her have it. Don't stress yourself out."
Her slaps rained down, my face numb and swollen beyond recognition. She turned to the crowd, her voice dripping with menace. "This is what happens to side pieces! Anyone else tries to seduce Jason, they'll end up worse than her!"
She nodded to Tank. "Strip her and dump her on the street. If she's shameless enough to play the side piece, she doesn't need clothes!"
I clutched my collar, fighting with every ounce of strength I had left. "Let go! I'm not a side piece!"
As they dragged me toward the territory's edge, I shouted a number to the onlookers. "Anyone who calls this number and tells them what's happening, I'll pay you a million!"

Eden's eighteenth birthday was supposed to be her moment-the night she'd finally tell him. The boy she grew up loving. The one who kissed every girl but her. The one she saved her virginity for.
She's spent years dreaming of Liam, chasing his smile, starving for his attention. But tonight, all he sees is the next girl he can break. And Eden? She's not enough.
Desperate to change that, she does the unthinkable.
She turns to Hunter Cross.
Captain of the hockey team. Cold. Arrogant. Brutally sexual. The kind of man girls dare not fantasize about-but Eden does. She begs him to teach her how to flirt, how to kiss, how to touch a man until he forgets every woman before her.
Hunter agrees-but only under one condition.
"If I teach you how to seduce him, then for one month... you belong to me. Fully. No questions. There are no limits."
Now Eden is learning far more than she bargained for-lessons in pleasure, in control, in giving up her body piece by piece to a man who doesn't believe in love. Each touch Hunter demands pushes her deeper into the kind of sin she never imagined, the kind that leaves her shaking, soaked, and begging for more.
But the deeper she falls, the more dangerous the game becomes.
Because Hunter's not just training her for another man.
He's breaking her for himself.
And he has no intention of ever letting her go.
For fans of Haunting Adeline, Twisted Games, and Credence-this is a dangerously seductive enemies-to-lovers story with a filthy slow burn, a dominant hero, and an ending that will leave you breathless.
Warning: This book contains explicit adult content, power-play dynamics, rough language, and high-heat scenes intended for mature readers only.

At the family dinner, the waiter stumbled, sending a tray of boiling onion soup flying toward the table.
My husband, Marcus, moved instantly.
But not for me.
He threw his body over my cousin Chloe, shielding her completely in his arms.
I was left exposed. The scalding liquid hit my chest and arm, burning my skin instantly.
While I screamed in agony on the floor, Marcus was frantically checking Chloe for scratches, whispering, "Thank God it missed you. You are more important than her. Always."
In the hospital, he handed me a check for fifty thousand dollars.
"It was an instinct," he said, avoiding my eyes. "Don't make a scene."
He didn't notice my hollow expression.
He didn't ask why the doctors were looking at him with pity.
And he certainly didn't know that the shock and trauma had caused me to miscarry our six-week-old baby.
For four years, I had been his perfect doll. I dressed like Chloe, painted like Chloe, and waited for him to love me.
I thought I was his wife.
I didn't realize I was just a placeholder until he sacrificed our child to save his true love from a splash of soup.
When he left to comfort Chloe again, I pulled the IV from my arm.
I placed the signed divorce papers on the bedside table.
Underneath them, I left the medical report confirming the miscarriage of his child.
Then, I vanished.
