Forced into a loveless marriage at an early age, she was widowed and exploited by Johan, her childhood crush turned tyrant. And later, coerced into a surrogate arrangement by her cunning and desperate sister, Natasha-Johan's wife. Aveline thought her life ended the day she died in that cold hospital room, her babies forcefully taken away from her, abandoned by those she trusted. She prayed for fate to intervene. Reborn years later as Elara, she was given the chance to reclaim her life-and her children. With a burning desire to uncover secrets and revenge on her mind. Determined to protect her new identity, She goes through the dark and complicated circles of the ruthless royal court, where power was everything and love was only a game. Will she be able to handle the battle of wits and survival to rewrite her story, or will the universe play her again? But, in the grand scheme of things, was falling in love with an Alpha King old enough to be her father also part of the charade?

Un-Broken: A Moonlight Rebirth Story Chapter 1 Prologue

AVELINE

"The moon goddess cannot mate you with Alpha Johan, he is too good for you!"

I raised my head to take a glance at my stepmother's face and as expected, it was there. The cold, hateful glare, the indifference, the undiluted hatred.

"You are nothing but a low-life bastard," she continued, slapping me hard across the face. "You should have never been born. Just imagine whatever made you think you could be married to the Alpha King's son!"

"But he is my mate, I felt the connection when we stood by each other."

I did not know how I found the voice, but the words were out before I realized it. And before I could take them back, another slap landed, this time on my right eye, blurring my vision.

"How dare you talk back at me!" She screeched, grabbing me by the hair and pulling me with it. "Have you lost your mind! Or do you have a death wish? You have a desire to die a miserable death, like your wretched mother, or don't you!"

I tried to respond, but a thick lump of pain had formed in my throat, rendering me voiceless and hopeless.

The kitchen floor was already soiled with the blood from the wounds I had just sustained. It would be stupid to underestimate what she would do to me next.

She would have killed me if she were opportune to and most times, I wondered what was keeping her from doing so.

Especially when I grew up listening to gossip from the pack servants that she was the one who killed my mother so that she would be able to move into our house with her illegitimate daughter.

"Now listen," Lunar Jillian said, jolting into my thoughts. "The mate bond does not work with poverty and uselessness. Your father and I have discussed it with the royal family, and they are going with my daughter instead. " she inhaled sharply before proceeding.

"Natasha will be getting married to Johan, the alpha prince. Not you. It will be advisable now for you to stay away from the prince. You know very well that it will cost me nothing to take your life and that nobody will question my decision.

"This is a call to actio. It is not an ordinary threat; it is also a warning. Your life is at stake, be careful." With those last words, she pushed me aside and stormed out.

I grew up that night. For the first time in my life, I saw things for what they were. I understood the meaning of hatred, I understood the meaning of privilege.

Understood what little power destiny has. Standing on the porch of our three-story mansion that night, I looked at the stars and cursed the moon goddess.

Every good thing I had was taken from me and despite my prayers, she could do nothing to help me. My mother, my fatherly affection, and now, my fated mate. The only man who desired me and gazed at me with love in his eyes.

As the minutes passed, the cool breeze began to penetrate my skin and tingle the fresh wounds on my face. What if I jumped? Something whispered to me, a soft dreamy voice in the wind.

I could end it all here and find peace in the clouds, and solitude in the world beyond. None of them would mourn.

At least it would be better than having to watch my step-sister marry the man I had planned a future with.

"The Silver Rain pack needed the alliance with the royal family," my father had said, "Natasha has the looks and the standard. You didn't even finish high school."

I didn't. I spent the whole of my high school and college years cooking and cleaning. I schooled with the palace maids whom I was not any different from. I was not up to par, Natasha was the standard.

I could not bring myself to jump, neither could I bring myself to hold back the tears which flooded my face as my sister and my fated mate stood across each other the next morning, gracing the moon temple.

"Is there anyone who is against this union, speak now or forever be silenced."

That was my chance. I could tell the world the truth. Natasha was not Prince Johan's mate, it was me.

My throat began to itch, Instinctively I wiped a tear that had fallen on my cheeks.

"And with the power vested in me, I pronounce the two of you, husband and wife!"

The whole crowd rose immediately, the boisterous sound of congratulations drowning out my contradictory thoughts.

It was already done, gone with the wind. The only appropriate thing for me to do was to pretend to be joyous but I still could not find the strength. Everybody in the hall congratulated the man and wife, while I was lost among them like a pin in the sand.

As the head of the ceremony announced that it was time for the wedding feast, I knew it was my call to duty; this was what I had been hired to do. But I decided to make a stop at the restroom before joining the group of servants.

I lifted the long gown as I walked along to grant my shaky legs freedom. I practically kicked the door of the bathroom open crashing on the table.

I felt so empty that I could feel my insides echo. I leaned on the vanity table, letting the coldness of the mirror relieve the heat in my brain.

I must have been so engrossed in this space of mine that I did not hear the door open.

A thick aroma of perfume suddenly descended on the atmosphere, suffocating. I did not turn around because of this smell, rather, I sensed an additional presence, one which my spirit found familiar.

"Are you going to ignore your sister at her wedding? Is that how losers truly behave?"

I looked up until around instantly, my eyes widened in surprise."

"You're even trying to give the impression of the loving sister. I don't think that is a proper way to behave."

"Please go away, Natasha; I am not in the mood to speak to you.'

"Of course you are not," she sneered. "You find it more consoling to cry over spilt milk, not that, my handsome mate..."

"Alpha Johan is abusive." I completed it for her, sounding as insouciant as I could.

"I was just attracted to him because of the mate's bond. He is arrogant, cruel, and self-centred. He doesn't love anybody. You might enjoy being queen or princess, but I am grateful for not getting trapped."

Natasha looked like someone had punched her in the gut, and I had begun to feel victorious when she suddenly dropped the bombshell.

"I will surely be queen of the werewolf land one day but I will not be the wife of a poor cripple."

She twisted the corners of her lips into a smirk.

"Alpha Kane's family is here. Father will summon you any moment from now."

"Alpha Kane..."

My heart nearly exploded in my chest.

"Yes," she nodded. "You will be getting married to him in a fortnight."

'No! I won't.' I wanted to scream it out my lungs, but before I could even gather up my thoughts Natasha grabbed my chin.

A dirty sly smirk dancing on her lips as she forced our eyes to meet, ready to rip off the last thread of composure holding me together.

"For your sake, I'm hoping you're still a Virgin."

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.

For three years, I was the perfect, invisible wife to Bart Brown. On our third anniversary, I stood in the kitchen for four hours, preparing his favorite meal with imported truffles, only to receive a cold text command. "Crysta fainted again. Get to the hospital. Now." My rare Rh-negative blood was the only thing the Brown family valued. Bart didn't want a wife; he wanted a walking blood bank for his "sick" best friend, Crysta. While I was fainting from chronic anemia, Crysta was smirking in her hospital bed, clutching Bart's hand and mocking my "peasant" lifestyle. Even his mother treated me like a servant, demanding I vacuum the floors after I'd already offered my veins for the hundredth time. When I finally reached my breaking point and signed the divorce papers, they didn't let me go quietly. They filed a false police report, accusing me of stealing a multi-million dollar diamond necklace just to watch me crawl. I didn't understand how a family could be so heartless. I had cooked their meals, cleaned their house, and literally bled for them, yet they were determined to ruin my life the moment I stopped being useful. Did they really think I was a nobody with nowhere to go? Standing outside the hospital with a bruised wrist and nothing to my name, I didn't cry. I simply took off my cheap wedding ring and dialed a secure line I hadn't touched since the day I married him. "It's me, Dad," I whispered as a fleet of black Maybachs rounded the corner. "The extraction is a go. I'm coming home."

Sexy Behind The Mask

Sexy Behind The Mask

Ellie Wynters
4.5

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."
