Tear-stained cheeks, my mascara was now an ugly smudge after being ruined with all the crying I had been doing for the past hour. I could not recognize myself as I looked through the mirror. The more I stared at myself the more the tears. I could hear them in the next room. Their moans enraged me and made me feel like throwing up. I retched but nothing came out.  Disgust is what I felt. My life had turned out to be a chaotic mess and I wondered what I had done to deserve all that. I was a good person or so I believed. I smiled through the pain and thought to myself that everything was going to be okay. I did not believe that myself but I had to tell myself to keep going or I would be stuck in a loop with my past trying to set myself free...

At twenty years old she had thought that now her life had just begun. Her childhood had been everything but good. It could have been worse but she couldn't complain about it. What was she supposed to do? The moment her life began other things arose and she had no clue whatsoever on what to believe. Her life had been a lie all along and no matter how much she tried to make sense of who she was she couldn't. She was lost at sea with all the lies she had been told. She did not know who to believe anymore. She never knew that she had as much power as she had or that people were going to see her as a threat. All she over wanted was to be somewhere that she belonged but the more that she knew people the more she realized that she did not belong anywhere. Could she blame them for hating her though? She did not choose to be who she was and there was nothing she could do about it. As she turned into her wolf form she saw a figure approaching her and she was ready to pounce until she smelled his scent. Hades

PROLOGUE For centuries my brothers had dragged me wherever they wanted to go. They said that family was the strongest bond but in the same way it was the strongest bond it would destroy you in seconds. I don't know why it took me so long to realize it. Nothing would ever change with them. Elijah would go all over the world chasing Edmund so that he could save him. Why could he not see that Edmund couldn't be saved? He was obsessed with power and control there was nothing that he wouldn't do. We had done things in the past that we regretted but he was just something else. I don't think someone could be saved did they didn't want it to happen. Edmund had turned into the monsters that he once hated and he was so deep. that nothing would change it. Maybe love was the only solution but how could someone love if they didn't have a heart? Love was not something that existed in our world. Maybe I was foolish to choose my brothers every time they put me on the spot. But how could I not? They were the only people that I knew who would go to hell and back for me. That was the meaning of family no matter how much I hated them or whatever they did I would also choose them. It didn't matter that I was missing out on being with the love of my life but there was no happy ever after when it came to life. I would be miserable for the rest of my life when the person I loved died so where was the happy there. "You made the right choice ", said Edmund beside me pulling me out of my trance. "Yeah ", I said. I knew I was lying. It was not the right choice because no matter how many times we chose him nothing was going to change. He was still going to be the evil brother that I despised so much but if I didn't choose him he would make my life a living hell. "Don't come running to me when he disappoints you again ", said Mateo as he walked away. I knew he meant it this time around. One would only take you back a couple of times before they got tired of being treated like the second option. Maybe it was for the better this way. We would never be happy together. I would always have to choose between him and my family and there was no way he would win that war. "She won't ", said Edmund smiling down at me.

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.

"I want a divorce Noah", I said to him. My heart beating and knees weak. I was scared of how he would react. 'He should be happy right? I mean I am giving him a way out of the bondage of a marriage', I said to myself. Noah expression darkened and I could see his jaw tighten. He stood up and took slow steady steps towards me with both hands in his pocket. I immediately got scared and moved backwards.

Before approaching him for the request of divorce, I promised to be strong and not to let him intimidate me but... he is Noah Wellesley, the only man I have loved, and maybe still love.

"And what makes you think I would be happy if we divorce?", He uttered and my brows furrowed. What did he mean by that? I stopped moving and he soon caught up to me, his eyes dancing on my lips and I saw the hidden feelings in his eyes. 'Why is he like this?', I asked myself.
