Life’s Spiced Up with Some Werewolf Reads
Jessica thought Alpha Johan was finally going to claim her—until she overhears a mindlink revealing his shocking secret: he already has a mate, and it’s her cruel half-sister, Suzette. Betrayed by the man she trusted to save her, Jessica refuses to remain a pawn. With her past trauma resurfacing, she accepts a mysterious offer to join the Silvercrest Healing Dominion. But will leaving Johan be the end of her story—or the beginning of her revenge?
Jessica’s POV Alpha Johan cupped my jaw gently, thumb brushing the corner of my lip before he lowered his head and murmured, “Jessica, are you ready to be marked tonight?” “Y-Yes.” I nodded faintly, smelling our mixed arousal. I had been waiting for this night, clinging to his promise that he would finally claim me.…
As I threw on a shirt and leggings, I couldn’t help but ask this: Why would he mark me if he already had a mate? I chuckled bitterly. Of course it was because of LunaSkin. I was the mind behind his empire, the hidden pulse that made his name shine among the packs. It was…
“Isn’t LunaSkin the Vale empire’s flagship perfume?” “The girl seems like she couldn’t do such a thing,” another voice whispered. “She looks too innocent to be accused of stealing.” Suzette’s fury boiled over. “Fine!” she shouted, turning toward the crowd. “Let me enlighten you all. This woman’s name is Jessica, the bastard daughter of my…
I grabbed what was left of my moon-silver dress, ripped and useless, and tore it away from my body. Gasps erupted instantly. My undergarments clung to my body, but what truly caught their eyes were the lash scars painting my back and legs like a grotesque mural. The hall swelled with murmurs. “Oh moon goddess,…
Next, the back corridor outside the study. A mounted boar’s head fixed on the wall. Suzette’s whisper was sharp. “If she begs, ignore it. Tie her. Feed her enough to live. I want her quiet until I decide.” Another cut. Jessica’s father, still Alpha then, stepped in laughing with his warriors. Lydia and Suzette snapped…
I let the present close back around me. Suzette trembled at my left. She tugged at Johan’s sleeve like a child. “Fake. All of it. She edited this. She is nobody, cast out by our family. How could she be Sunny?” Her voice climbed into panic and cracked. Even Johan looked thrown. He had expected…
Something in his expression sharpened; his grip at my wrist roughened by a fraction, more wolf than gentleman. “That is the best plan I’ve heard in years from a woman who’s about to rise.” To rise? His words was a strange kind of comfort. Heat flooded me so fast I almost swayed when he found…
Tears slid hot and fast. I sat close. She gripped my sleeve. I kept my voice level. “You are not dying. I will not let you. I sent teams to find the best healers. Price does not matter.” “I do not want to die.” She pressed her face to my chest and shook. I held…
He grabbed my wrist and pinned me against the wall shelf, eyes burning. “Say it.” I met his stare. “I regret ever believing you loved me.” Something inside him snapped. His claws flexed but didn’t strike. “From the moment I pulled you out of that hell, you became mine. We were close to being bonded.…
“Yes, Alpha.” Alpha? I stared at him. “You can’t just take me wherever you want! I’m not yours!” He didn’t even blink. Just sat there, face stone cold, looking ahead like he hadn’t just kidnapped me in broad daylight. Behind us, the wrecked car was drawing a crowd. Humans. Police. Flashing lights. I turned back…
