Her name was Brisa Dorsey. She was overjoyed at the upcoming marriage with her boyfriend, who she had been in love with for years. But just before they were to apply for their marriage license, she found out that her boyfriend had an affair with Brisa's stepsister. In a fit of anger, Brisa decided to pay a man to have sex with her. Drunk as a skunk, Brisa shouted orders to the owner of the club she went to that night, wanting to have sex with him. And when she woke up the next day, she found that everyone was calling her "Mrs. Johns". Shocked, Brisa found out she had got married! To whom? The terrifying "Cold-Face King" in New York, who was the head of the Johns family as well as the Johns Group! But rumor had it that he never hang out with women. Didn't he like men? Sure enough, those rumors were all just rumors...
Call her Moon child Dancing in the shallows of a river
Lovely Moon child
Dreaming in the shadow of the willow.
Talking to the Trees of the Cobwebs strange
Sleeping on the steps of a fountain
Waving silver wands to the Night-birds song
Waiting for the sun on the mountain.
She's a moon child
Gathering the flowers in a garden
Lovely Moon child
Drifting on the echoes of the hours.
Sailing on the wind
in a milk white gown
Dropping circle stones on a sun dial
Playing hide and seek
With the ghost of dawn
Waiting for a smile from a sun child.
-King Crimson; Moonchild

The tension in the air was thick.
Captured within the room and stuck there within the closed door as the few people present at the meeting sat staring at one another.
A tall man rose, dominant above the others, clearly the Alpha of the pack. He looked at the faces of horror that spread across the couple that were sitting holding hands tightly.
"John, you know I care for you and your mate and want the best for you both," The Alpha said, his deep, dominant voice trying its best to sound gentle at the moment.
The sitting down male nodded his stunned head, while the female- his mate- let a sob escape her mouth.
The man who sat across from them, an older gentleman who appeared to be in his late 40's cleared his throat, eyes downcast.
"I don't know what else I can do for you," the man said, eyes looking up to show a deep sorrow. "Twin pups are rare as it is, but the way they are positioned and the fact they are both of beta blood makes further complications. There is a high chance you won't survive if you go through with this Grace."
A snarl rose from Beta John's mouth as he took his hand away from his mates and paced.
A look of hurt crossed Grace's face over losing the comforting touch of her mate.
"What's the point of giving you these advance medical machines Doctor, if you can't even use them to keep my mate alive!" Beta John said with a fierce look in his eyes.
Doctor Schulman looked back down at the table in shame. "You both already know Grace is frail. Her body can only handle so much and this procedure is very strenuous."
"Whatever happens Doctor Schulman, I want my pups to come first," Grace said, her hands encasing her protruding, small belly, while her eyes looked on with love.
A sob rose to Beta John's lips. He fell to his knees, grabbing one of Grace's hands while putting his other on her stomach. The two broke down in sobs, wrapped in the sorrow of what the future held for them.
"Why would the Moon Goddess do this!" John said in anguish.
Alpha Jay and Doctor Schulman left the room, giving the two their needed privacy.
When the door was closed, Jay turned to the Doctor. "Is there no other way?" He asked.
The doctor looked with blank eyes past the Alpha, after a few seconds refocusing them on his leader. "I'll ask around- maybe there's someone who is more experienced than me."
Alpha Jay's shoulders fell. He and the doctor both knew Schulman was one of the best. "Maybe you can assemble a team? I'm willing to pay whatever to get doctors from other packs to come and help."
Doctor Schulman nodded his head slowly. "It's not a matter though of expertise. This is about Grace's body and how she can handle the procedure. Grace is already having complications, and she is just a few months along. I can't image what it will be like for her when she gets past the six-month mark."
"And she won't let the pups go," Alpha Jay said, feeling guilty for even voicing the obvious thought that was on everyone's mind.
Doctor Schulman sighed again, "Alpha I know you already know this, but please make sure Beta John takes his anti-anxiety medicine. He and his wolf are going through a hard time. On one hand, he wants to protect his pups, overcome by paternal instincts, yet, on the other hand, these pups could possibly be the cause for the death of his mate." The doctor and Alpha looked at each other with dread in their eyes.
"Please see if you can find someone, and let me know as soon as you do," Alpha Jay said in a whisper, before walking away down the hall and into his office.
The doctor watched the exit of his Alpha. He wanted to help his pack leaders as best he could. When he transferred to the Alba Rosa Pack thirty years ago he was already a well claimed medical mind. The Alba Rosa pack was well within one of the top five packs in North America- he was proud to serve such a prestigious pack. The doctor's mind clouded at the thought that after all his years of service, he wouldn't be able to save those who he had worked hard to protect.
He left the hall, silent except for the muffled sound of the couple crying in the next room. Their world-shattering.
New determination filled the doctor.
He would do whatever he could to save the pack.
The whispers said that out of bitter jealousy, Hadley shoved Eric's beloved down the stairs, robbing the unborn child of life. To avenge, Eric forced Hadley abroad and completely cut her off. Years later, she reemerged, and they felt like strangers. When they met again, she was the nightclub's star, with men ready to pay fortunes just to glimpse her elusive performance. Unable to contain himself, Eric blocked her path, asking, "Is this truly how you earn a living now? Why not come back to me?" Hadley's lips curved faintly. "If you’re eager to see me, you’d better join the queue, darling."

As a simple assistant, messaging the CEO in the dead of night to request shares of adult films was a bold move. Bethany, unsurprisingly, didn't receive any films. However, the CEO responded that, while he had no films to share, he could offer a live demonstration. After a night filled with passion, Bethany was certain she'd lose her job. But instead, her boss proposed, "Marry me. Please consider it." "Mr. Bates, you're kidding me, right?"
Trigger warning!!! Intended for mature readers who enjoy morally complex, slow-burn, poseesive, forbidden, dark romance that pushes boundaries. ***EXCERPT*** Blood everywhere. Trembling hands. "No!" My eyes blurred. His lifeless eyes stared back at me, his blood pooling at my feet. The man I loved-dead. Killed by the one person I could never escape - my stepbrother. *** Kasmine's life was never hers to begin with. Kester, her stepbrother, controlled and monitored her every move. At first, it was all sweet and brotherly until it began to turn into an obsession. Kester was the Alpha, and his word was law. No close friends. No boyfriends. No freedom. The only consolation Kasmine had was her twenty-first birthday, which was supposed to change everything. She dreamt of finding her mate, escaping the sickening control of Kester, and finally claiming her own life. But fate had other plans for her. On the night of her birthday, not only was she disappointed that she wasn't mated to the love of her life, but she found out that her mate was none other than him - Her tormentor. Her stepbrother. She'd rather die than be mated to a man whom she had known as her big brother all her life. A man who would do just anything to make sure she was his. But when love turns to obsession, and obsession turns to blood, how far can one girl run before she realizes there is nowhere else to run to?
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.
“Do I want a taste?” his voice deeper than he had ever spoken. His eyes pinned on me like I was the only thing that fascinated him. “What do I do?” I thought to myself as he moved closer to me, I wanted to run away, to resist him but I was pinned to the wall by him. “Gosh I hate this man so much” his scent, his body, his beautiful green eyes, he was driving me crazy. I know this is wrong, he has a fiancee and all but that makes me want him even more. “Get on the bed and spread your legs” his cold voice woke me up and then I remembered I was just a maid to him. “Yes master”.
