Introduction
Mi tirĂČ davanti a sĂ©, e mi sembrava di trovarmi di fronte a Satana in persona. Si avvicinĂČ ancora di piĂč, il suo viso era cosĂŹ vicino al mio che se mi fossi mossa, ci saremmo scontrati con la testa. Deglutii mentre lo guardavo con gli occhi spalancati, spaventata da quello che avrebbe potuto fare.
"Faremo una chiacchierata presto, va bene?" Non riuscivo a parlare, lo fissavo con gli occhi spalancati mentre il mio cuore batteva all'impazzata. Posso solo sperare che non fosse me che stava cercando.
Althaia incontra il pericoloso boss della mafia, Damiano, che viene attratto dai suoi grandi occhi verdi e innocenti e non riesce a togliersela dalla mente. Althaia era stata nascosta lontano dal pericoloso diavolo. Eppure il destino l'ha portato da lei. Questa volta, non permetterĂ mai piĂč che lei se ne vada.

I could feel him standing in front of me. He grabbed my legs and in one single move thrusted into me.
âFuckkkâ, I couldnât help but scream.
âYou need to learn to be obedientâ he said as he kept thrusting into me. When I felt his hands on my clit my body shook.
âAsher please, itâs too muchâ.
âNo. if I really wanted to punish you, I would give you all of meâ, he said against my ears and my entire body froze. Suddenly he moved and I was standing again. This man was insane.
I felt him behind me. âTen Lashes for your disobedienceâ, he said
âAsher pleaseâ,
âNoâ. His voice was cold and void of any emotion.
Asher was what I wanted , what I truly craved until it was too late. An orphan should never fall in love with someone out of their reach. I thought loving him was the right thing to do until he revealed his true identity and Ruined me. I was ruined for everyone one else . I could still feel his touch, it was as if it was etched into my skin. I tired to avoid him but fate wouldn't let it happen.
The Sterling's were the most powerful in Havenwood and Dorian Sterling was off limits.
As an orphan finding out you still have people looking for you is hard to take but when it turns out to be people of wealth and standing I took the other road and ran, but running led me right back to the place I was avoiding and the person I was avoiding.
Asher and Dorling Sterling one and the same. When his first love shows up and along with everyone that has set out to ruin me, I prayed that he could protect me.

âI thought you said you were done chasing me?â Gen mocked.
âI am done chasing you.â
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
âYouâre soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?â his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. âWeakness?â

Rise of the Banished She-Wolf
1.5m Views · Completed · Lily
"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been gloryâblood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend meâhe sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrenderâdive into the waves and never surfaceâbut the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precisionâbecoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding strangerâand my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me payâand take back everything that was stolen from me.

"Tell me to stop, and I will," he murmured against my ear. "But if you don't..."
He didn't finish. He didn't need to.
I didn't tell him to stop.
Instead, my fingers curled into his shirt, clutching the fabric as though it was my only anchor. Something in him snappedâsomething he had been holding back for too long. His mouth found mine in a kiss that wasn't tender, but hungry, desperate.
I gasped into him, his hand sliding up to cup my jaw, holding me as if afraid I might vanish.
"You drive me insane," he breathed against my mouth, his lips trailing to my throat. "I can't lose you, Ella. Not you."
My head fell back, a soft sound escaping me as his fingers memorized my waist. My anger melted beneath his desperation.
"James..." I whispered, more plea than protest.
His hand caught mine, fingers threading together tightly. "I'll bring him back. I swear it. Just... don't turn away from me. Please."
The word pleaseâlow, ragged, almost brokenâundid me more than anything else could have.
