He pulled me in front of him, and I felt like I was like facing Satan himself. He leaned in closer to me, his face was so close to mine that if I moved, we would bump heads. I gulped as I looked at him with my wide eyes, scared of what he might do.
āWeāll have a little chat together soon, okay?ā I couldnāt talk, I just stared at him wide-eyed while my heart was beating like crazy. I can only hope it was not mine he was after.

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festivalāchampagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. Iād slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasnāt Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt handsāurgent, scorchingāsearing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his faceāBrad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what Iād done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But Iām no wolf. Iām just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Bradās cold gaze pins me: āYou carry my blood. Youāre mine.ā
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

I woke up three years into a marriage I barely rememberedāpregnant with twins that weren't my husband's.
Those words should have destroyed me, but the truth was worse: I'd been used as a broodmare by the man who swore to love me, set up in a hotel room with a stranger because My husband Alexander Cross couldn't father children himself, and now I carried the secret babies of Damon Lesterāthe most powerful and dangerous Alpha in San Lorisāwhile my own family replaced me with the daughter they'd always wanted. But when that same stranger's doctor appeared at my door, when twenty million dollars exchanged hands over a fake perfume bearing my secret identity, and when Damon's gray eyes locked onto mine with recognition I couldn't afford, I realized my carefully hidden life as the legendary perfumer Vera was colliding with a pregnancy that could cost me everything.
Could I protect my babies from the husband plotting my death, hide my true identity from the Alpha who's been hunting me for years, and reclaim the freedom I'd buried along with my dreamsāeven if it means standing alone against the wolves who see me as nothing more than a womb to be used and discarded?
