Having been betrayed once by the people that mattered the most to her and nearly lost all by reacting drastically as a result of the blinding agony, Chloe Monroe vowed to make sufficient use of the second opportunity offered to her by the moon goddess. She was going to live for herself and close her heart to love. Alpha Xander Cletus noted the shift in his mate and he wondered what may have caused it. He sensed the sudden barrier she had created around herself and it both perplexed and disturbed him like nothing rarely did. He was irritated when she refused to tell him what the problem was but he was prepared to do everything within his power to make things go back to way they used to be no matter how tough his mate was being. Would they pass through this phase of struggle in their love match made in heaven or would the unknown forces attacking them prevail?
As I walked back home from a visit to one of the pack members who had given birth, I thought of Xander and I smiled. We had been together for two years now but it felt like yesterday since I met him. Things have been going perfectly fine for me and Xander after we mated and I became his luna. He is caring, loving, protective, and respects me. I love him so much.
He is what I call a perfect gentleman. He listened to me, he made my family his family. He had become friends with the people of Sapele village. Six months ago when my parents' cabin burnt down with Emily who was sleeping inside, she usually was a deep sleeper but she had managed to escape with some bruises which healed fast.
When I told Xander that I wanted Emily to come to stay with us in the pack house since she had nowhere else to go, he agreed. While we had not been able to find the people who had set the house on fire, Xander had started its reconstruction.
I got inside the house, it was a mansion mostly covered by trees but had a clear path. All the other pack members lived in cabins, not because they couldn't afford a house as big as this but because they felt there had to be a distinguishable difference between the Alpha's house and theirs. Xander wouldn't mind if anyone built a house bigger than this but they wouldn't hear of it. I opened the door to our bedroom and froze.
My eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing. On the bed lay a sleeping Xander and Emily, they were both naked. I felt a sharp piercing pain as I continued to look at them, I moved slowly toward the bed but stopped. What would I do if I got there? I slowly backed away. Once I was outside the door, I turned and started walking slowly towards the stairs. This had to be a dream, what I saw couldn't be real but the pain in my chest couldn't be imagined. I heard Emily call out my name then I stopped walking.
"Chloe!"
I stopped but I did not turn around. I vaguely heard footsteps approach me and then suddenly, she was standing in front of me wearing Xander's shirt and nothing under it. The pain I felt seemed to multiply at that sight.
"Why?" That was all I could think to ask.
"Why?" Emily repeated as she laughed." Because I want you to feel pain, the same pain I felt every time you steal my shine.
"What?" I wasn't following.
"Oh please cut the crap. You're always the goody two shoes, perfectly nice. I saw Xander first, I wanted him first and yet you found a way to bewitch him as you do to everyone else. Well, he has finally realized his mistake in choosing you instead of me. Do you know what he said while we were having mind-blowing sex? That it was the best sex he has ever had. You're slow at everything. I've always had a deep resentment for you Chloe and I'm glad he now sees you for what you are, nothing." Emily said with a sneer.
I had been friends with this lady for ten years. I took her to my house when he parents died. I clothed and fed her for ten years. I thought the beaming smile on her face was real but I must realize that they were all fake. Always did my best to see her happy and comfortable and it was all a lie on her path. How didn't I realize this earlier?
"For old time's sake, I will give you a warning and a spoiler. When Xander wakes up, he's going to gather the pack, he plans to tell everyone that he no longer wants you as his mate. So save yourself a little integrity from the disgrace to come and make sure you have your things packed before then." With that, Emily walked back into the bedroom slamming the door behind her leaving me more heartbroken than I was before.
I don't know how long I stood in the hallway feeling bereft until I heard someone call me.
"Luna?"
I looked up to see Brianna, a fourteen years old Omega looking at me with a worried expression.
"Are you okay, Luna?"
I nodded, swallowing the lump in my throat. I kept on walking. I passed Smith on my way down the stairs and he said something to me but I didn't quite catch what he said. I just kept on walking. I felt like I was floating, totally lost.
The events of the past few minutes kept flashing in my head as I walked to the lake, where I loved to stay and think. Not only had Xander betrayed and broken my heart, but he also planned to dish out the ultimate disgrace, rejection. I thought about the scorn I had seen in Emily's eyes, the smirks, laughter, snickers, and pity I would get from the pack and I knew I couldn't take it.
It was one blow too many. So Xander was cheating on me. And of all people, he chose Emily, my friend. How was I so dumb not to know? I was so lost in my thoughts as the excruciating pain kept piercing my heart like a two-edged sword that I didn't stop walking when I got to the edge of the lake, I continued.
I walked into the lake with tears and agony, I kept walking until I could walk no more. Then I let myself sink. I did not fight the water as it began to go into my lungs in place of air. I needed to end it here. It is better to die this way than get humiliated by Xander and Emily.
Just as my world was turning dark, I saw a shimmer of light. To my surprise, I was out of the water, a few feet away from the lake, coughing violently. As I coughed, I felt tears running down my cheeks, I tasted salt, whether, from the water or my tears, I couldn't tell. Strangely enough, my body was dry, devoid of water droplets.
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.
She was hurt. She was bullied and made fun of. And the only hope that kept her going was finding her mate. She has always been weak. Weak to the world. Why? Because she was a lantern. She didn't have a wolf. That's what everyone thought about her. When she found her mate, he wanted her to be his slut and not a wife. She might be an omega, but it doesn't mean she will take disloyalty and betrayal lightly. So she did something that no one in history ever did. She rejected an Alpha. "I, Alexis Clark, reject Brandon Sterling, the alpha of Black mist pack, and consider myself a free soul until I decide so."; Were her last words before she left that torturous place and became a rogue. A rogue that everyone was fearing and finding. Why? Because she was the rogue that has become one of the biggest problems of almost all the packs in the country. She was Alexis Clark. A rogue that rejected an Alpha, stealth food, kill other rogues, and more than that was living with humans and studying with them. What will happen when her case is given to the world's most dangerous alpha, Sebastian Sinclair, who has taken it upon himself to punish this rogue. The one who hated rogues and omega to a level that was beyond understanding. Why? Because his mate was an omega, who betrayed him with a rogue before dying. How will Alexis tackle this alpha, in whose College she was studying and living under hiding for almost a year? What will Sebastian do when he finds out the new girl he had been talking to is none other than the rogue omega that he had decided to kill? "To love you with all my might was my only wish, but you were the only one who gave me endless suffering. So today, I promise myself to not fall for anyone."; A simple saying that both Alexis and Sebastian had vowed upon. Will they be able to find their love amidst all these problems?

In their three years of marriage, Chelsea had been a dutiful wife to Edmund. She used to think that her love and care would someday melt Edmund's cold heart, but she was wrong. Finally, she couldn't take the disappointment any longer and chose to end the marriage. Edmund had always thought that his wife was just boring and dull. So it was shocking when Chelsea suddenly threw divorce papers at his face in front of everyone at the Nelson Group's anniversary party. How humiliating! After that, everyone thought that the formerly-married couple would never see each other again, even Chelsea. Once again, she thought wrong. Sometime later, at an award ceremony, Chelsea went onstage to accept the award for best screenplay. Her ex-husband, Edmund, was the one presenting the award to her. As he handed her the trophy, he suddenly reached for her hand and pleaded humbly in front of the audience, "Chelsea, I'm sorry I didn't cherish you before. Could you please give me another chance?" Chelsea looked at him indifferently. "I'm sorry, Mr. Nelson. My only concern now is my business." Edmund's heart was shattered into a million pieces. "Chelsea, I really can't live without you." But his ex-wife just walked away. Wasn't it better for her to just concentrate on her career? Men would only distract her—especially her ex-husband.
