You ever wonder how your life can change so drastically in a matter of minutes? I once thought that I had the best life. I was surrounded by friends who protected me, a mother who loved me with all she had, and all the happiness in the world. All of that changed the day my mom announced that she was getting married. To a member of the Inferno Demons motorcycle club. It wasn't that I didn't like the club, or my stepfather. In fact, I was the reason that they had met in the first place. It was what came after that shocked my world. I thought being step-siblings with one of the people I was closest to would be the best thing to ever happen to me, but it was the exact opposite. Overnight my life changed. My five biggest protectors and closest friends started shutting me out. I was ignored, forgotten, and pushed aside. But I never said a thing. I just took it all, hoping that things would go back to normal. Maybe they grew sick of me. Maybe I just didn't fit in with this biker lifestyle. I was growing accustomed to my new life, sort of, when things changed again. A father that I knew nothing about, haven't seen since I was too young to remember had suddenly popped into my life. He was a stranger. Granted, he tried to visit me while he fought my mom for custody of me. I wish I had known that he had a snowball's chance in hell of winning that custody battle. I was promised I'd get to come home to see my mom. I was promised that my being forced to leave wasn't the end. I was promised that two years would fly by, and I might even have a little fun. I was promised a lot of things. And all of them ended up empty. Nobody cared. Nobody checked on me. Nobody called, texted, visited. Not that they would have been allowed to. My sperm donor (as I like to call him), had lied. Straight threw his teeth. To all of us. Me, my mom, the judge, everyone. And he got away with it. For over a year I endured pain and abuse. I was beaten into submission. I was turned into someone that wasn't me. When I escaped the first time, I finally realized why no one had checked up on me. I thought that my mom would have been riddled with guilt, but... that wasn't the case. The lies my stepsister spread about me had gotten worse after I was forced to leave. Everyone took her side, including my mom. Of course, I was found again. Or rather, given back to avoid more drama. My own mother handed me back to the man who was responsible for the black eye I had, the welts on my back, the... nightmares that I had. She handed me over like I was an object, and that was when I realized that there was no hope left for me. That was the day that the first crack formed in my heart. Despite all that I had been through, I still thought I had people who loved me. I thought I had five protectors who were waiting for me, I thought I had a mother who would have given her life for me, I thought that I had somewhere safe to go. But it was all a lie. I had been looking at life through rose-colored glasses, and now they were officially off. That crack spread slowly, oh, so slowly, but it was there. It started. It was too late. I had officially given up, but not in the docile sense. No, if anything, I became more of a problem. And that was what I wanted; to be a problem for everyone. Until I met him. For once, the noise in my head was quiet, the pain in my chest eased the slightest, and for the briefest of moments, I felt safe. He made me realize that's what I had been craving. Safety. And he handed it to me on a silver platter. I should have chucked those rose-colored glasses the moment I took them off instead of holding onto them with the last sliver of hope I possessed. Maybe I would have saw the signs sooner. Maybe I would have picked up on the lies before that ring was on my finger. Maybe I could have avoided another disappointment in my life. But that would be too easy. That would be too nice. That would be... apparently, not what I deserve. However, I was not going down this time. I was done being made a fool. I was done being abused. I was done being forced. So, I took one last shot. Just one more. If I died because of it, so be it, but if I survived... If I could really get far enough away... I could live. I could really live. I could start over. I could be free. But freedom always comes at a cost. I should have known I would be caught. I shouldn't have let five years of freedom get to my head. I should have been more careful. Because now I'm found again, but this time it wasn't my sperm donor who had found me, or my husband, or my mother. It was Karma, the president of the Inferno's Demons MC, the boy who used to wipe my tears and bandaged me up when I scrapped my knees, and he looked pissed to see me. Why did Karma have to steal me away from my quiet life? Is he going to send me back to my sperm donor and husband? Does he know what I've been through? Do any of them even care? And why is he so pissed about a promise that they broke first?

Ten years ago, I fell in love with the wrong man. Three years ago, I married him. Now, I'm trying to survive him. On our wedding anniversary, I was supposed to celebrate with my husband, Adrian "Knox" McVale, the ruthless President of the Night Howlers MC. Instead, his mistress showed up at my door with my anniversary gift: a pregnancy test with two bold red lines. She offered to drive me to Knox so I could see the truth with my own eyes. Our car crashed before we reached him. As I lay trapped in the twisted, bloody metal, I saw him. Knox. Through the haze of my own blood, I watched my husband frantically tear the wreckage apart to save her. His large, strong hand—with my wedding band mirrored on his finger—gripped Becca fiercely, pulling her from the brink of death. He never even looked my way. In that fleeting moment, the brutal truth of my marriage finally clicked. Knox had never truly been mine. Becca was right. In the end, it was always going to be just the two of them. Something inside my chest suddenly loosened. It didn't break. It didn't shatter. It was just... completely, utterly let go. With a final, quiet sense of release, I closed my eyes and let the darkness swallow me. Then, my eyes snapped open. I was back in the past. Given a second chance at life, I didn't waste a single breath on tears. The first thing I did was slap the signed divorce papers on his desk and walk away without looking back. I finally opened my eyes to the man who had been silently standing in my shadow, protecting me for ten long years. Realizing what he had lost, the ruthless MC President completely lost his mind. "Zara, I was wrong. Please... just look at me. Come back to me." "You already chose her, Knox." I simply smile, tightening my grip on my new fiancé’s arm. "So this time... I'm choosing him."
Iva, daughter of her pack’s Gamma, has spent her entire life being “not enough”—not strong enough, not fierce enough, and certainly not the son her father always wanted to inherit his legacy. No matter how perfect her grades were or how hard she trained until her muscles burned, his eyes never softened, and his praise never came. Her mother loved her, yes, but even that love was always torn in half, stretched painfully between her chosen mate and child. In a world where chosen mates rarely bless their families with more than one child, Iva’s birth was a miracle—and a disappointment. And with werewolves becoming increasingly immersed in human society, fated mates had become nearly impossible to find, a punishment from the Moon Goddess for drifting away from their roots. Only the gift of a Messenger, a rare wolf able to sense true fated bonds, kept hope alive for the future of their kind. But on Iva’s eighteenth birthday, when her wolf finally awakens, she discovers two impossible truths: She is the next Messenger. And her fated mate is Nick, the future Alpha. This should be the miracle that could change her entire fate and give her the acceptance she always craved, except … no one believes her. The pack mocks her, her father calls her a disgrace, and Nick— the boy raised to be the next Alpha —laughs in her face and labels her a desperate liar reaching for a Luna crown she could never deserve. Humiliated, heartbroken, and betrayed by the people she spent her life trying to please, Iva makes the only choice she has left: she rejects Nick and leaves the pack, determined to survive on her own terms. But fate is far from done with her when, during the winter holidays she needs to attend the mandatory Mating Ball where she catches the attention of someone unexpected. Because there are others who know exactly what a Messenger is worth. And once they discover what Iva truly is, the hunt begins. Will Nick regret pushing away the only girl the Moon Goddess ever chose for him? Will he get a second chance of redemption? Will Iva’s power save her… or destroy everything she touches? Her story begins with rejection. But it might end with a war.
