When Evelyn returns to the forest she fled decades ago, she expects memories-grief, regret, and the ache of a past she never truly buried. What she does not expect is the land itself to recognize her. The forest remembers. As an ancient power awakens within her, Evelyn becomes something the packs have not seen in generations-a Luna bound not only to an Alpha, but to the wild itself. Leo, the Alpha sworn to protect his people at all costs, is torn between his duty and the woman fate has placed in his path. Their bond grows in the shadow of rising threats, pack politics, and a rival territory willing to start a war to claim Evelyn's power. Chosen by forces older than any pack law, Evelyn must learn to control the wild magic stirring in her blood before it consumes her-or destroys everything she loves. Because when the forest chooses its Luna, it does not do so gently. And it never makes mistakes.

The Luna the Forest Chose Chapter 1 The Forest Stirred When I Returned

Evelyn's POV

The forest shouldn't have known my name.

Yet the moment my boots crossed the rusted boundary marker of Silver pine territory, the wind shifted-sharp, sudden, deliberate. Leaves hissed across the ground like whispers cut too close to the ear, and the hairs along my arms lifted as if I had stepped into someone else's breath.

Welcome home, Evelyn.

I stopped walking.

That was impossible. Forests didn't speak. They didn't remember girls who ran away with nothing but grief and guilt stitched into their ribs.

And yet... my chest tightened, the same way it used to when I was a child hiding beneath the elder oak, listening to secrets I never understood.

I swallowed and forced myself forward.

Silverpine hadn't changed. Not really. The same towering trees. The same winding path that led deeper into pack land. But I had. I could feel it in the way the ground resisted my steps, as though testing whether I still belonged.

I hadn't planned to come back like this-alone, unannounced, dragging twenty years of buried history behind me like a carcass. But the letter had been brief. Urgent.

You need to return. Things are changing.

No signature. None was needed.

Only one person would dare summon me back here.

Leo.

My pulse stumbled at the thought of his name. I hadn't spoken it aloud in years, and hadn't allowed myself to imagine what he looked like now. The boy who once promised me the forest would always protect us had grown into something else entirely.

An Alpha.

I reached the edge of the clearing just as voices cut through the air.

Angry ones.

I froze, instinct screaming.

"-trespassing, and you know it," a male voice snarled.

Another laughed, low and mocking. "Your borders are weak. Just like your Alpha."

The words sent ice through my veins.

I crept closer, heart pounding, until the clearing opened before me-and so did the truth.

Three wolves stood at the treeline opposite two Silverpine warriors. They weren't trying to hide their scents. They wanted to be seen.

Blackridge.

My stomach dropped.

The largest of them stepped forward, his posture arrogant, his grin sharp. "Tell Leo we're getting tired of waiting."

One of our warriors bristled. "You step one paw further and-"

"And what?" the Blackridge wolf interrupted. "You'll bleed on land that already belongs to us?"

I should have turned back. I should have run.

Instead, something hot and furious coiled in my chest.

Before I realized what I was doing, I stepped out of the trees.

"Get away from them."

Every head snapped in my direction.

The warriors stared at me in shock. The Blackridge wolves inhaled sharply-and then smiled.

"Well," the largest said slowly, eyes raking over me, "this is unexpected."

I lifted my chin, though my knees trembled. "You're on Silverpine land."

"And you are?" he asked, amusement dripping from his voice.

For a heartbeat, I didn't know how to answer. I wasn't packed. I wasn't a warrior. I wasn't anything here anymore.

But the forest answered for me.

The wind surged, sudden and violent. Branches groaned. The ground beneath our feet shuddered.

The Blackridge wolf's smile faltered.

"I said," I repeated, my voice steadier than I felt, "get away from them."

"What trick is this?" he growled, stepping back as the earth cracked beneath him.

I stared at my hands.

They were glowing.

Faintly-green and alive, veins of light pulsing beneath my skin like roots finding water.

Panic exploded through me. No. No, this isn't happening.

I hadn't meant to do anything. I hadn't called for power. I didn't even know I had any.

But the forest didn't care about my fear.

The ground erupted.

Roots burst upward, thick and ancient, wrapping around the Blackridge wolves' legs, their arms, their throats. They howled, struggling as the forest held them fast-not crushing, not killing.

Restraining.

The Silverpine warriors stumbled back in horror.

"What in the Moon's name-" one of them whispered.

I couldn't breathe. My heart hammered so hard I thought it might split me open.

Stop, I begged silently. Please-stop.

The roots obeyed.

They stilled, tightening just enough to keep the wolves trapped.

The Blackridge Alpha's emissary stared at me now, fear finally bleeding through his bravado. "What are you?"

"I don't know," I whispered.

Then the pressure vanished.

The roots sank back into the earth as if they had never existed. The wolves collapsed, gasping. Without another word, they shifted and fled, vanishing into the trees with terror sharp in their scent.

Silence crashed down over the clearing.

The Silverpine warriors turned to me slowly.

One dropped to his knee.

"My Luna?" he said uncertainly.

The word hit me like a blow.

"I'm not-" I started, but my voice failed.

A new presence rolled across the clearing then-dominant, controlled, unmistakable.

Alpha.

I didn't need to turn around to know who stood behind me.

The forest had gone very still.

"Evelyn."

My name, spoken low and disbelieving.

I turned.

Leo stood at the edge of the clearing, taller than I remembered, broader, power etched into every line of him. His eyes-those same storm-gray eyes-were locked on me as if I were a ghost clawing my way out of his past.

And beneath his shock... fear.

Not for himself.

For me.

"What did you just do?" he asked quietly.

I opened my mouth to answer-

-and the ground trembled again, harder this time.

Somewhere deep in the forest, something ancient stirred.

And I knew, with bone-deep certainty, that whatever had awakened inside me was only just beginning.

I lay paralyzed on stiff white sheets, a prisoner in my own skin, listening to the rain lash against the window like nails on a coffin. My father, Elmore Franco, didn't even look at my face as he checked his clipboard. He just listened to the steady, monotonous beep of the heart monitor-the only thing proving I was still alive. Without a hint of remorse, he pulled a pen from his pocket and signed the Do Not Resuscitate order. My stepmother, Ophelia, stepped out from behind him, wearing my favorite pearl necklace and smelling of cloying perfume. She leaned close to my ear to whisper the truth that turned my blood to ice. "It was the tea, darling. Just like your mother. A slow, tasteless poison." She chuckled as she revealed that my fiancé, Bryce, had a two-year-old son with my sister, Daniela. My inheritance had been funding their secret life for years, and now that the money was secure, I was an inconvenience they were finally scrubbing away. As my father yanked the power cord from the wall, the beeping died, and the darkness swallowed me whole. I was being murdered by my own flesh and blood, used as a bank account until I was no longer needed. I died in that sterile room, drowning in the realization that every person I ever loved was a monster who had been waiting for me to take my last breath. Then, I gasped. I woke up in a luxury hotel suite surrounded by silk sheets, five years in the past-the very morning of my wedding. Next to me lay Basile Delgado, the "Wolf of Wall Street" and my family's most dangerous enemy. In my first life, I ran from this room in a panic and lost everything. This time, I looked at the man who would eventually destroy my father's empire and decided to join him. "I'm not leaving, Basile. Marry me. Right now. Today."

Phoenix Rising: The Scarred Heiress's Revenge

Xiao Hong Mao

I lived as the "scarred ghost" of the Stephens penthouse, a wife kept in the shadows because my facial burns offended my billionaire husband’s aesthetic. For years, I endured Kason’s coldness and my family's abuse, a submissive puppet who believed she had nowhere else to go. The end came with a blue folder tossed onto my silk sheets. Kason’s mistress was back, and he wanted me out by sunset, offering a five-million-dollar "silence fee" to go hide my face in the countryside. The betrayal cut deep when I discovered my father had already traded my divorce for a corporate bailout. My step-sister mocked my "trashy" appearance at a high-end boutique, while the sales staff treated me like a common thief. At home, my father threatened to cut off my mother's life-saving medicine unless I crawled back to Kason to beg for a better deal. I was the girl who took the blame for a fire she didn't start, the wife who worshipped a man who never looked her in the eye, and the daughter used as a human bargaining chip. I was supposed to be broken, penniless, and desperate. But the woman who stood up wasn't the weak Elease Finch anymore; she was Phoenix, a tactical predator with a $500 million secret. I signed the divorce papers without a single tear, walked past my stunned husband, and wiped the Finch family's bank accounts clean with a few taps on my phone. "Your money is dirty," I told Kason with a cold smile. "I prefer clean hands." The cage is open, the hunt has begun, and I’m starting with the people who thought a scar made me weak.

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.6

She hides behind ugly suits and fake names. He's done trusting women. When they meet in a masked sex club, neither realizes they've been fighting each other across boardroom tables for eighteen months. At Taylor Industries, she's Joy Smith-the frumpy CFO who drowns her curves in shapeless polyester and wearing a wig. At home, she's the forgotten wife of a cheating lawyer who hasn't touched her in so long she's starting to wonder if she's broken. When she finds hot pink lace panties stuffed in her couch cushions...definitely not hers, it's not heartbreak she feels. It's freedom. Grayson Taylor doesn't do relationships anymore. Not after walking in on his actress fiancée with another woman. Now he channels everything into hostile takeovers and board meetings, especially the ones where his overcautious CFO fights him on every goddamn acquisition. Joy Smith is brilliant, infuriating, and funny when he pushes all her buttons. But Honey is tired of being invisible. Tired of never having felt real pleasure. So, when her best friend gives her the details of The Velvet Room-Manhattan's most exclusive masked club-she promises herself just one night. One night to find out if her husband's right, if she really is frigid, or if she's just never been touched by the right hands. She doesn't expect the masked stranger who claims her the second she walks in. Doesn't expect the chemistry that ignites between them, the way he makes her body sing, or the orgasms that leave her shaking. Doesn't expect him to hand her an email address with one command: "Only me. No one else touches you."
