"You're just a maid, you may have been something once upon a time." Candace sneered at me. She sipped her drink and then proceeded to dump it on my head. Drenching me while her guests laughed. "Instead you opened your legs to any guy in school and ended up pregnant. You're just a dropout. Go clean yourself up sweetie." I wanted to throw my tray of drinks at her. The rage simmered beneath the surface but I knew I couldn't do that. They had to continue to believe I was weak, their time would come though and when they were sifting through the ashes of their fallen kingdom. I will be there to pick up the pieces and dangle the little nuggets of their once-luxurious lives in front of their noses. I smiled sweetly as champagne stung my eyes, I was always waiting in the shadows. They never knew how their dirty laundry was aired, they never knew how their fortunes were lost. No one ever suspects the maid and that was fine by me.

Madison thought she had the perfect life and was married to the Alpha of the Smoky Mountain pack. Things were going her way until betrayal cut deep when she found her Alpha husband in bed with his "true Luna, " her best friend. Madison could feel the Alpha bond shatter, tearing a piece of her soul to pieces. She was grateful that he was not her mate, that would have literally killed her. Fleeing the city and Smoky Mountain Pack Territory, Madison harbored her own secrets as she moved to another pack territory and started her life over. Keeping a low profile Madison, knew she would never trust another Alpha again. She had to keep her heart and her secrets safe.

I had to start over at some point in my life, it has been months since Alexei passed. I know rationally that we weren't married in a church. He was still my husband, that will not change. Gregor has a woman in his life, but that is fine. She could deal with the drama that comes with being a Mackenzie. I just worry though, no one has heard from him since he went to America with Dahlia. I never knew he was a trust fund baby, until that day we had lunch at his family’s estate, meeting his mother left a foul taste in my mouth, along with a distaste for the Mackenzie clan. They left Sully feeling like he was disgusting. I missed Gregor, we did have some good time but I also couldn't shake the feeling that something was horribly wrong with him.

When I turn eighteen I'm leaving this place, no looking back and no regrets. This was my mantra throughout my senior year at the elite Blairsville Academy. The school for the rich, elite, and beautiful sons and daughters of the region's packs. These should be the best years of my life. Zachary, Valek, Anson, and Axel are the bane of my existence. They are the reason I want to run from this academy. Bullied, tormented, and left a broken wolf. I would rather leave the pack than be their pawn. That was until my eighteenth birthday. I went from having no power to all the power in the world and the hearts of the four biggest and worst Alphas. The Moon Goddess sure is a trickster, but can I run away from my fate?

In a world where Omegas were hunted to extinction, I managed to survive and hide my true identity. Blessed by the Moon Goddess I was the most powerful Omega in existence and everyone wanted my power. I have remained hidden until I crossed paths with Dante Alvarez. A ruthless Alpha and ex-Navy Seal he set his sights on me and now I am in his crosshairs. It was a unfaithful missing person's case that had our paths crossed again. Will I be able to survive the hunt from the ruthless Alpha or will the Moon Goddess have other plans for me? I refuse to be hunted into extinction, and if I succumb to my desires I will be a slave to an Alpha who will shackle me to the rules of a wolf pack. Disdained by the wolf pack Desired by the Alpha

How long have we been stuck in the mineshaft? It seemed like days but I was sure it had only been a few hours. Time was either dragging or seemed like it was going too fast. Why weren’t there people looking for us? Why were we kidnapped in the first place? Sighing I leaned against the door to the mine and thought I heard people outside talking. At one point there was a bright light but mother said it was just a trick of the mind. I stared at her form in the darkness and wondered why she was not worried about any of this. I wanted to explore our surroundings but mom also said to wait until daylight. I just scoffed at her and wondered how she would know that it was daylight. There did not seem to be any light penetrating the darkness. “Just trust me, Marie. This is not my first time being locked in a small dark space.” When I pressed her for more answers she just let out an exasperated groan and told me to shut up. She never scolded me or became irritated with me, I just seemed to get on her nerves no matter what now. Maybe she was just stressed because of the situation. I lay back against the cold stone and also tried to ignore the smell permeating from deep in the mine. I must have dozed off but something squeaking woke me up and I was trying not to scream. I saw the mine was a little brighter, so it must be daylight outside. Mom was right about seeing better in the daytime. I looked around and didn’t see her worry gnawing at my stomach and I stood up so quickly I banged my arm on a rocky outcropping. Hissing in pain I saw I had torn the sleeve of my shirt and I was bleeding.

When I moved to Scotland, I expected more Outlander, romance, and men in kilts. Instead, I ended up with Fatal Attraction and Lisbeth Salander. I wouldn’t mind so much if Claire really did look like Lisbeth things might not have been so bad. Claire was humming to herself and holding her stomach with a dreamy look on her face. The man that was with her seemed to tread lightly around Claire. I did not blame him one bit, the throbbing in my head and the woman seemed to be a ticking time bomb.

"Why does he hate me so?" I pulled the covers around me and stared at my reflection in the mirror. I was rejected by the dire wolves, I was a halfling. They did not want a fae blood among their kind. "Because you are a half blood." The woman sneered at me and I shrunk in on myself. Cadence was supposed to be my mate. "We had the ceremony." The woman looked down her nose at me and shook her head. "It means nothing now little halfling. You have been marked by the dire wolves for death." Howls sounded outside. The snow was piling up and I knew my time was limited. "You have fifteen minutes before I toss you out." She slammed the door, I belonged nowhere, I didn't even belong in fairie.

I wasn’t sure how many times I was going to have to start over but I was getting tired of starting over. It is like playing a video game and not having Autosave enabled. The big bad boss kills me and instead of being able to head right to the big bad boss again, I have to start from the top of the mountain to fight through all the minions. “Shall I get your tiara, your highness?” Jer gave me a side hug and even though he moved from the states to be here with me and his boyfriend. I missed Sinclair and Eugenia; I missed the people in the village I would visit that was a half-hour away from my old home. I put a hand on my stomach and the sinking guilt crept over me again.

Annabelle caught her fiance cheating with her best friend and her small town treats her like she is the problem.
