Kasha has always felt like an outsider in her own pack, living under the harsh rule of her stepfather, Takri, and carrying the weight of her father's tragic death. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she must find a mate to avoid banishment from the wolf community, but the odds seem stacked against her. When Kasha is invited to a prestigious party, she hopes for a fresh start, but instead finds herself mistaken for a servant, and her encounter with the stunning and powerful Adri Hobart shatters any hopes of happiness. Despite the instant pull she feels towards him, Adri's cold rejection only deepens her pain, forcing Kasha to confront her own worth and the painful truth of her situation. Will she find the strength to embrace her true self, or will the weight of her past crush any chance of a future with her mate?
"Attention! Kasha, it's your coming-of-age ceremony in a short while, and until then, you must get ready."
I had just walked in the door when I heard my stepfather, Takri, yelling at me.
"Kasha, you really disappoint us, this is the seventh time you have failed this month."
My mother, Tina, also expressed her utmost disappointment in me.
As a werewolf, before choosing a mate at the age of eighteen, I must prepare a gift to let my mate know that I'm not a useless werewolf.
But I may be the exception.
My real father was an Alpha of the Dusk Moon wolf pack, but he died in a territorial battle three years ago, who lost at the cost of his life.
And the winner became my stepfather, also known as Takri.
My mother Tina submitted and married Takri to protect me and became his wife.
Takri didn't really like me and kept me around just to get a free maid.
If I couldn't find my mate before I'm eighteen, I'd be banished by the wolves.
My mother hoped that I would find an eligible mate who could protect me until then.
"I will succeed till the end."
I walked toward my room and closed the door behind me.
The sound of my mother and stepfather talking came from outside the door.
As I lay in bed, staring out the window at the sun, I thought of my father.
He was a powerful yet gentle Alpha.
What I remembered most was what he would always say to me.
"Little Kasha, hide behind me, I will protect you."
In fact, he could have escaped in that battle three years ago. But I was chased by Takri's wolves to the edge of a cliff, and he traded with Takri to save me. He was pushed off the cliff by the wolves, and I survived.
I was the one who got him killed.
Takri also did not treat my father's wolves well, but made them do all the dirty and tiring work. He always punished them for the slightest mistake, even abused them.
During the night, I still couldn't sleep and wanted to go out for a walk.
"Kasha, you'd better read this." My mother stood in the hallway and handed me a letter.
It was signed by the Hobart family.
The letter was an invitation to a party they were holding, and since I was about to turn eighteen, I also wanted to take the opportunity to be able to choose my own mate.
"I don't want to go." I replied as I shoved the envelope back into my mother's hand.
"But we have promised that you will appear at the party on time." My mother said to me seriously.
"You guys committed to them without even asking me if I wanted to go?" I got a little angry, too.
"No matter what, you must attend tomorrow, or else you will be banished by the wolves and wander alone." My mother raised her voice and said to me. "Okay, I'll be there." I replied moodily, and only then did my mother turn around and go back to her room.
Early the next morning, I was on my way to the Hobart family.
Hobart family was not new to me, for when I was young, my father used to take me to a few parties.
Despite this, I had only been there two or three times.
"This young lady, if you don't have a letter of invitation, please leave here immediately."
As I stood in front of a lavish castle, a middle-aged man in a black suit stopped me.
I took the letter of invitation out of my pocket and handed it to him.
"Level 1 invitation letter, hah, you can go in."
The butler and the soldier next to me both laughed and handed me the envelope.
I didn't understand why they laughed at me or what the first-class invitation letter meant.
When I walked into the hall, there were already many people inside.
The smell of perfume made me dizzy, and I reluctantly found a corner to sit down, just hoping the party would be over soon. "Why won't you let me attend the banquet? I'm a member of the family too!"
A sound of arguing came and I looked over sideways.
It was a middle-aged man and a young man who looked like they should be father and son.
"Adri, you should know that I don't want you to mess up my party, so you can't attend." The middle-aged man said.
The young man was the future Alpha wolf leader, Adri Hobart.
I was afraid of being seen by them and hid under the table.
"But they killed my mother, can this be pretended as if it never happened?"
Adri questioned angrily, as his eyes turned red and his hands were clenched in fists.He had blond hair, blue and sharp eyes like an eagle, and he was a head taller than me. He was so handsome that made my heart beat faster.
On his neck, a totem mark from the Hobart family could be vaguely seen.
Any family that had a certain status among the wolves would have a seal that represented their family, and that seal, which was usually given by the family elders at the coming-of-age ceremony, would be given.
But I was confused as to who killed his mother.
"Okay, Adri, you need to calm down, I can allow you to attend the party, but you have to promise that you won't mess everything up, and I won't just let it go with what happened to Kailin." The middle-aged man said as he patted the young man on the shoulder.
Adri's clenched fist was then loosened.
I was also about to stay away from this place from under the table.
"Who are you? Why are you doing hiding there?" Adri's voice came from behind me.
I froze and slowly turned my head to look at Adri, who was standing in front of me and glaring at me.
"I'm here for the party, I dropped my stuff on the floor and I just picked it the table and stood up and explained nervously because I had lied.
"Who's your master that brought you here?" Adri questioned.
"I was invited to the party, I'm not a servant." I explained again, and I thought I had made myself clear.
"Which family are you from?" Adri asked, staring hard at me.
"The Nader family, my father's name is Kanas." I replied with my head bowed.
"You're the daughter of Alpha Kanas?" Adri looked at me in shock.
"Yes." I replied, he didn't seem to know that my father had passed away.
"Kasha! You are really here! Don't you know that you are the servant of this party? We're so busy now! Come with me!" The butler at the door just now walked up to me and said.
"The servant?" I didn't understand what he meant, I was here for the party, how could I be a servant?
"Yes, the level 1 invitation letter represents the temporarily hired servants, I will never misread it." The butler replied seriously.
I lowered my head, I didn't think I was coming to the party as a servant. Without speaking, Adri turned to leave.
I was so embarrassed that my face burned.
"Hey, is this Kasha?" A woman's voice came from behind me.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
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.
