Ranking Of Wolves: The Victor Of His Heart
Werewolf He advanced to level our faces only inches away, his minty breath fanning my face, taking my own breath away.
I snapped my head sideways in a rush, I won't let him get what he wants. Not again!
"Artemis," He growls at my protest.
"Okay, I'll stay, but please don't get too near me!"
"That's not what I meant, I'll likely tie you on bed if I have to just to make you stay." Okay, let's just pretend that doesn't sound weird and scary of him at all.
"But, that's not what I really meant." He brought his hand up to cup my face and his thumb to caress my lips in deep longing. I looked at him to find him already looking at me-- or more like, at my lips.
"Oh..." Mouthing as realization dawned on me. My eyes flutters down, watching him bite his lower lip as if that act alone could restrain him from fighting off his desire.
"Well, fuck it..." I mumble lowly, yet he's already inches away from meeting our mouths and took my words the other way 'round as enough clarification for him to kill the existing distance and give a huge advantage for my fist.
And that's one point for Artemis.

Rabbit For two years, I was the Alpha's secret wife, a duty he resented. But the positive pregnancy test in my hand was a miracle, a blessing from the Moon Goddess. This baby, our heir, was supposed to be the bridge that finally mended our broken mate bond.
That night, he left without a word. I saw on a gossip site that he'd gone to pick up his ex-lover, Isadora. Reaching for him through our bond, I wasn't met with his usual coldness, but with her emotions bleeding through him-triumph and smug possession.
The next morning, I went to his office, ready to tell him about our baby, believing our child could fix us. But I stopped when I heard him talking to our Pack Healer about me.
The healer said I looked fragile, that he should care for his mate. My husband laughed.
"You seem to care for her more than I do," Demetri said, his voice dripping with ice. "Do you want me to give her to you? Take her. She's of no use to me."
My world shattered. I wasn't just unloved; I was a thing to be discarded. I looked down at the pregnancy report, the proof of the life inside me, and made a vow. He would never know about our child, and I would sever our bond myself.

Surviving it?

My Reborn Husband Didn't Choose Me? I Flash Married a Firefighter!
Sibeal Sallese For seven years, I drank the bitter tonic my fiancé, Alpha Adrian, gave me, believing it would cure my "wolfless" defect.
I was wrong. It was poison.
He wasn't trying to heal me; he was keeping me weak so he could replace me with my foster sister, Ariel.
When the fire consumed the Alpha's Wing, I was trapped under a burning beam, my legs crushed.
Adrian kicked down the door. I reached out to him, screaming for help.
But he didn't look at me. He looked at Ariel, who was lying on the floor in a silk nightgown.
He scooped her up, cradling her like she was the only thing that mattered.
I begged him not to leave me.
Instead of helping, he used his Alpha Command on me, his voice booming with supernatural weight.
"Stay put! I'll be back for you!"
It was a lie. He used his power to freeze me in the inferno and left me to burn alive.
I survived, only to watch him publicly reject me for her the next day, with my own father's blessing.
They called me a "genetic dead end." They thought I would crawl away and die in shame.
I didn't.
I limped up the mountain to the Neutral Lands to find the one man everyone fears-the exiled Alpha, Garth Morgan.
"I have the Gamma Bloodline Scroll," I told the massive figure emerging from the shadows.
"I don't want your gratitude," Garth growled, his eyes like storm clouds.
"I'm not here for gratitude," I replied, staring him down. "I'm here to make a deal with the devil."
