Chapter 1
Miro el reloj por centésima vez esta noche, ya casi es hora de cerrar. Me deslizo para atender a mi último cliente, que también es mi habitual favorito.
—¿Otra cerveza, Bob? —le pregunto en silencio, esperando que diga que no.
—Probablemente es hora de dejarte cerrar. Velvet, eres un tesoro —dice mientras saca su billetera y deja una generosa propina para mí.
—Solo porque puedo atenderte a ti —le guiño un ojo, metiendo la propina en mi bolsillo.
Finalmente, es hora de cerrar. Suspiro mientras él sale por la puerta, saludando con la mano sobre su hombro. Mis pies están doloridos cuando termina mi turno, y estoy lista para alejarme del olor a cigarrillos rancios y el aroma de la cerveza.
Cierro rápidamente el bar y agarro mi bolso y chaqueta de debajo del mostrador. Básicamente corro hacia la salida.
—Velvet, ¿qué vas a hacer ahora que has terminado tu turno? —me pregunta Ian.
Ian ha estado intentando durante meses que acepte una cita con él, y repetidamente lo he rechazado.
En este punto de mi vida, no tengo espacio para nadie y no deseo hacer espacio, prefiero estar sola como he estado toda mi vida. —Oh, ya sabes, voy a casa con mi gato y mi cama —me reí.
—Estoy teniendo una pequeña fiesta, ¿te gustaría venir? —Me da su mejor mirada de cachorro, suplicándome en silencio que diga que sí.
—Me gustaría, pero tengo que estar en algún lugar temprano.
Estoy demasiado cansada para inventar una mejor excusa y Ian lo sabe también. Parece desanimado, pero no insiste, por suerte. Le digo buenas noches con la mano y salgo.
Aunque Ian es persistente, nunca he sentido nada extraño sobre su aura. Es un don, o tal vez una maldición, con la que siempre he lidiado, poder sentir instintivamente si alguien era bueno o tenía malas intenciones. Aunque me sentía como una rara, tener la habilidad de sentir me mantuvo a salvo durante mis años en hogares de acogida.
A veces, sentir la maldad de alguien podía hacerme sentir físicamente enferma. Su depravación golpea mis sentidos, haciendo que mi estómago se revuelva.
El aire de la noche se siente frío, y me ajusto la chaqueta más cerca del cuerpo. Típico clima de San Francisco. Hace frío por la noche, pero es hermoso durante el día.
Decidí tomar la ruta más fácil a casa y cortar por un callejón lateral. Elegí este trabajo principalmente porque podía caminar hasta allí.
Mientras camino, noto que todo el callejón está inquietantemente silencioso. Usualmente puedo escuchar el correteo de una rata o el maullido de un gato callejero. Los únicos sonidos son el clic clac de mis tacones sobre los ladrillos y mi respiración.
Podía sentirlo. Ojos sobre mí. Sentí que se me erizaba el vello de la nuca y me giré rápidamente, esperando que algo o alguien estuviera allí, pero el callejón estaba vacío y silencioso.
No podía sentir un aura y eso me dejaba inquieta.
Aceleré mi paso, porque si había alguien observándome, no me iba a quedar para averiguar quién era. Me maldecía a mí misma por tomar esta ruta, pero el cansancio de mi turno en el bar me obligó a tomarla.
Para cuando llegué a casa, la sensación de ser observada había disminuido, pero mi inquietud no.
Al abrir la puerta, pude escuchar a mi gata Jinx corriendo hacia la puerta maullando ruidosamente, el lindo cascabel en su collar tintineando. Me agaché para levantar a la gran gata negra. —Sí, Jinx, sé que tienes hambre —dije, rodando los ojos ante la gata que nunca se ha perdido una comida.
Acaricié suavemente a Jinx y miré sus ojos verde bosque que parecían saber demasiado mientras acariciaba su inusual cola plateada.
Elegí a Jinx porque, como yo, tenía una franja plateada en su pelo negro y también era una callejera.
Sin un verdadero hogar o familia.
Alimenté a Jinx y me dirigí a mi habitación. Al entrar, me desnudé inmediatamente y me puse mis pijamas favoritos, sintiendo la comodidad del algodón desgastado y descolorido. En la quietud de mi habitación, mis pensamientos volvieron al callejón y a cómo podía sentir ojos quemándome con su mirada.
—Debes estar volviéndote loca, Velvet —susurré a mi habitación vacía. Forzando los pensamientos a desaparecer, encendí la televisión y agarré a Jinx cuando saltó a la cama.
Me desperté de un sobresalto. Estaba respirando pesadamente y sudando. Soñé con un hombre de pie en mi habitación, sus ojos grises brillantes quemándome con su mirada, mirándome como si me poseyeran.
Un sentimiento de odio tan fuerte que me hizo contener la respiración y me puso la piel de gallina. Agarré mi teléfono. Miré la hora y vi que eran las 8:30 am.
Gemí y me cubrí los ojos con el brazo, porque sabía que después de ese sueño no iba a poder volver a dormir.
Todavía me siento aturdida mientras me levanto de la cama. Jinx se levanta inmediatamente y me sigue al baño, acostándose en la alfombra y acurrucándose.
Tal vez una ducha me ayude a despejar la mente. Pongo el agua al nivel más caliente posible y entro. Apoyo mi cuerpo contra los azulejos de la ducha.
Mi mente vuelve al sueño que tuve. Siento escalofríos en la piel a pesar del calor abrasador del agua.
La intensidad de esos ojos me va a perturbar el resto del día. Como si sintiera mi angustia, Jinx asoma la cabeza y maúlla.
Me saca de mis pensamientos, y rápidamente apago la ducha y salgo. Me envolví en una toalla grande y me miré en el espejo medio empañado.
Mirándome a mí misma, todo lo que veo es una mujer con ojos demasiado grandes y piel anormalmente pálida.
Tengo que trabajar de nuevo esta noche, así que me visto rápidamente y salgo de la casa para hacer mis recados antes de que comience mi próximo turno.
El transporte público de San Francisco es bastante bueno, así que puedo moverme sin necesidad de un vehículo fácilmente.
Entré en el tren subterráneo, tomé asiento y me acomodé para el viaje. Sentada en silencio durante unos minutos, nuevamente tuve la extraña sensación de que alguien me estaba observando.

Lita's Love for the Alpha
"WHO did that to her?!" Andres asked again, still staring at the girl.
Her injuries were darkening with the passing of each minute.
Her skin even seemed paler in comparison to the deep browns and purples.
"I called the doctor over. You think it's internal bleeding?"
Stace addressed Alex but looked back to Lita, "She was fine, I mean flustered and bruised but fine, ya know. And then boom, she was passing out. Nothing we did would wake her up..."
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO HER?!"
Cole's eyes shifted deep red, "It's not your fucking concern! Is she YOUR mate now?!"
"See that's what I mean, if she'd had THAT man protecting her, maybe this wouldn't have happened," Stace yelled, tossing her arms into the air.
"Stacey Ramos, you will address your Alpha with his due respect, are we clear?"
Alex growled, icy blue eyes glaring at her.
She nodded quietly.
Andres also lowered his head slightly, showing submission, "Of course she's not my mate Alpha, however..."
"However, what, Delta?!"
"At the moment, you haven't rejected her. That would make her our Luna..."

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.

My Dominant Boss
Mr Sutton and I have had nothing but a working relationship. He bosses me around, and I listen. But all of that is about to change. He needs a date for a family wedding and has chosen me as his target. I could and should have said no, but what else can I do when he threatens my job?
It is agreeing to that one favour that changed my entire life. We spent more time together outside of work, which changed our relationship. I see him in a different light, and he sees me in one.
I know it is wrong to get involved with my boss. I try to fight it but fail. It is only sex. What harm could it do? I couldn’t be more wrong because what starts as only sex changes direction in a way I could never imagine.
My boss isn’t only dominant at work but in all aspects of his life. I have heard about the Dom/subs relationship, but it isn’t something I ever thought much about. As things heat up between Mr Sutton and me, I am asked to become his submissive. How does one even become such a thing with no experience or desire to be one?

I never expected the one thing I knew nothing about would be the same thing to open up an incredible brand-new world to me.
Four or Dead
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry to tell you this but he didn’t make it.” The doctor says offering me a sympathetic look.
“T-thank you.” I say with a trembling breath.
My father was dead, and the man who killed him was standing right beside me this very minute. Of course, there was no way I could tell anyone this because I would be considered and accomplice for even knowing what happened and doing nothing. I was eighteen and could be looking at prison time if the truth ever got out.
Not long ago I was trying to get through my senior year and getting out of this town for good, but now I have no idea what I will do. I was almost free, and now I would be lucky to make it another day without my life completely falling apart.
“You’re with us, now and forever.” His hot breath said against my ear sending a shiver down my spine.

Hell on earth is the only way I can describe the life I have lived.
Having every bit of my soul being stripped away each and every day by not only my father but by four boys called The Dark Angels and their followers.
Tormented for three years is about all I can take and with no one on my side I know what I have to do...I have to get out the only way I know how, Death means peace but things are never that easy, especially when the very guys who led me to ledge are the ones who end up saving my life.

He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.

Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem)
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
