Kate Collins is a renowned architect seeking independence, even though she comes from a wealthy family. Her brother, worried about her workload, decides to hire an intern to help her. It is then that Henry comes into her life, a talented and attractive young man. However, as Kate and Henry become involved, a new element emerges: Taylor, Kate's brother's best friend, who becomes the new shareholder in her company. An unpredictable and forbidden attraction forms between Kate and Taylor, leaving Henry furious and triggering a dangerous obsession.

Chapter 1 01.Prologue: Memories

I remember as if it were yesterday that tumultuous time when Taylor entered our lives. From the moment I first saw him, I felt an inexplicable aversion. It was as if he were stealing the attention of my brother, Andrew, and sidelining me.

We were at a family dinner, and he was seated at the table, smiling and chatting animatedly with Andrew. I couldn't contain my irritation and decided to confront him.

"So, you're Taylor..." I said, crossing my arms and giving him a cold look.

He smiled gently, trying to ease the tension in the air. "Yes, that's me. It's a pleasure to finally meet you, Kate."

I couldn't disguise my disdain for him. I always saw him as an intruder, someone who stole my brother's attention and left me aside. And now, there, face to face with him, I couldn't hide my feelings.

"Pleasure? Sorry, Taylor, but I can't share that sentiment. On the contrary, since you entered Andrew's life, I feel he's growing more distant from me," I said. He seemed surprised by my frankness but didn't back down.

"Kate, I understand how you feel, but I assure you it was never my intention to cause any separation between you. I'm just a friend, someone who stands by your brother when he needs support."

I let out a sarcastic laugh. "That's precisely the problem, Taylor. You're always there, occupying a space that should be mine. You've become so close to Andrew that it feels like there's no room for me. And I won't accept that." He looked into my eyes, with a calm and understanding expression.

"Kate, I understand your concern and insecurity, but you need to realize that your brother and I have been friends for a long time. He's important to me, just like you are. I don't want to cause problems between you; I just want to be a part of my friend's life."

My hands clenched in fists, controlling the anger that was about to explode. "Well, Taylor, you may want to be part of my brother's life, but it doesn't mean I have to like it. I suggest you understand your place and step back a bit. I won't allow you to take up more space than you already have."

He lowered his gaze for a moment, as if contemplating my words. When he looked up again, there was determination in his eyes.

"Kate, I won't step back just because you don't like me. I'll continue being Andrew's friend, and I hope that one day you can overcome this dislike and see me differently."

I stared at him for a few more moments, my aversion still present in every cell of my body. But I knew that, for the sake of my relationship with my brother, I needed to at least try to accept Taylor's presence in our lives.

"We'll see, Taylor. We'll see. But know that it won't be that easy."

I left the dinner determined not to accept any kind of approach from him. And so it remained until then.

Devoted To The Alpha

Werewolf

*18+ only. Contains mature themes* Adelineā€™s world gets flipped upside down when a neighbouring Alpha takes over her pack. Heā€™s ruthless, rumors being said that he even killed his father for the Alpha position, yet Adeline canā€™t help but drop to her knees whenever heā€™s nearby. Convinced that Alpha Jaxon has been cursed by the Moon Goddess to never have a true mate due to his violent history, he takes a compatible mate of choice instead, a woman who's strong enough to help lead the pack, unlike Adeline who looks meek at the first sight. However, Adeline discovers thereā€™s more than lust pulling her to Alpha Jaxon. How will she be able to resist? **** ā€œIā€™m not sure if thatā€™s how one should greet their Alphaā€, he uttered inches away from my lips. I paused for a second in an attempt to compose myself, adrenaline free flowing, as my wolf and I took in the comfort of being so close to him again. ā€œHmm, that may be true except you arenā€™t my Alpha yetā€, I challenged him back in a seductive tone that came off naturally. Our faces were so close together that the warmth of our breaths was clashing, I so badly wanted him to give in and close the distance between us. ā€œYou feel that, donā€™t you? Your wolf is squealing inside to have me mark youā€¦ rightā€¦ hereā€¦ā€, Jaxon nipped at my neck ever so lightly. I felt as if my legs were about to let out under me at any second. He moved his hand just under my sweater on my back pulling me closer into his hardness while his other hand glided across the side of my face, caressing my jaw softly. Crisp electric sparks shot through my body at his touch, ā€œShh Adeline, soon Iā€™ll have you completely submitting to me. Youā€™ll be begging your Alpha to stretch that tight, wet pussy and fill it entirelyā€, lowering his hand and lightly swiping between my legs.
