Introduction
Kenna, la mejor amiga de Aidan, es una doctora que nunca ha encontrado el momento adecuado para el amor. Siempre ha estado tan ocupada con el trabajo que se olvida de su propia vida personal.
Ambos siempre han estado unidos desde que eran niños, después de un solo incidente que sucedió, haciéndolos inseparables al instante. A medida que crecieron, las cosas empezaron a cambiar, pero los mejores amigos son para siempre... sin importar las circunstancias.
¿Qué sucede cuando Aidan establece un contrato y quiere que Kenna sea parte de él?
Chapter 1
Hace 20 años . . .
Kenna se sienta tranquilamente en el asiento trasero del coche, jugando con sus pequeños dedos mientras espera que su madre salga del edificio de oficinas que su padre posee. Ha estado esperando durante los últimos treinta y cinco minutos, y su madre aún no ha aparecido. Sabe lo mucho que su madre está apegada a su trabajo.
Justo cuando está a punto de soltar un suspiro profundo, una mujer familiar con cabello castaño oscuro y ojos azul claro comienza a caminar hacia el coche. Los labios de Kenna se curvan en una sonrisa al ver a su madre entrar en el coche, dándole una sonrisa de disculpa.
—Lo siento, Kenna. ¿Me perdonas? —dice su madre, haciendo que Kenna asienta con la cabeza. Aunque solo tiene seis años, entiende bastante sobre la ocupada carrera de sus padres. Ha escuchado suficientes excusas.
De hecho, Kenna tiene un corazón blando, conocido por el chófer de la familia, Jeffrey. Se encariña fácilmente con alguien y los perdona a la velocidad del rayo tan pronto como buscan su perdón... por eso Jeffrey le tiene cariño.
—¿Directo al jardín de infancia, señora? —pregunta Jeffrey, mirando por el espejo retrovisor mientras sus manos se aferran al volante.
Jeffrey ha trabajado para la familia desde que salió de la escuela secundaria. Tiene aproximadamente la misma edad que el padre de Kenna, si no un par de años más. Aunque no se llevan muchos años, Jeffrey tiene una arruga visible cerca de los ojos y en el medio de la frente, lo que lo hace parecer mayor de lo que debería.
—Sí, Jeffrey —responde la madre, aplicando otra capa de lápiz labial rojo en sus labios antes de cerrar el espejo compacto y guardarlo en su bolso de cuero.
Kenna observa a su madre, fijándose en la forma en que se sienta con gracia y elegancia, definiéndose como una mujer. Su cabello castaño oscuro cae rizado sobre sus hombros, haciéndola lucir profesional pero casual al mismo tiempo. Incluso siendo alguien que pasa más tiempo en la oficina que en casa, nunca ha pedido un descanso ni se ha quejado.
—¿Emocionada, cariño? Conocerás a nuevas personas y harás amigos —dice, girándose para mirar a Kenna y ver que ha estado jugando con la goma para el pelo en su mano. Siempre la lleva a donde quiera que va, ya que es conocida como su goma de la suerte, algo no fácil de lograr.
—¿Y si me odian? ¿Y si no hago nuevos amigos? —pregunta Kenna, su voz lo suficientemente alta para escuchar pero bastante baja si su madre estuviera más lejos.
Su madre agarra su mano, apretándola como señal de apoyo antes de sonreírle. —Kenna, cariño, eres la niña más maravillosa del mundo. Eres inteligente, hermosa, talentosa, divertida... tenemos que trabajar un poco en la parte divertida, pero eres capaz de todo —tanto Kenna como su madre se ríen, felices de que su madre esté aumentando su nivel de confianza para que haga nuevos amigos.
El coche se detiene, y Jeffrey se gira para mirarlas con una sonrisa en cuanto sus ojos se posan en ella. Luego, Kenna y su madre salen del coche y caminan hacia la entrada del jardín de infancia, de la mano.
—Hola, usted debe ser la señora Roosevelt —una mujer comienza a acercarse a ellas mientras están en el medio. —Soy la señorita Cooper. Es un placer finalmente conocerla —continúa diciendo la mujer mientras la madre de Kenna le da la mano, dejando a Kenna con una ligera sonrisa.
—Igualmente, señorita Cooper —reafirma la madre de Kenna.
La mujer conocida como 'señorita Cooper' se gira para mirar a Kenna, sus ojos marrones brillan con diversión. —Tú debes ser Kenna —dice, agachándose a la altura de Kenna. —Hay un par de niños que también se están registrando hoy, Kenna... ¿por qué no te unes a ellos en el patio de juegos? —se gira para señalarle el patio de juegos que se puede ver desde el interior a través de la ventana de vidrio.
Los ojos de Kenna se encuentran con los de su madre mientras asiente. —Vamos, Kenna. Haz algunos amigos —dice su madre, haciendo que Kenna camine directamente hacia el patio de juegos después de mirar dos veces a su madre, quien actualmente está hablando con la señorita Cooper.
Tan pronto como Kenna sale al patio de juegos, se encuentra con un par de niños jugando cerca del arenero mientras otro niño juega solo cerca de los toboganes. Kenna frunce el ceño al darse cuenta de que solo hay niños en el patio de juegos... así que se dirige hacia el columpio, agarrándose fuertemente a los lados mientras se sube.
El columpio comienza a moverse hacia adelante y hacia atrás mientras ella mira hacia el cielo azul, que la atrae. Sus manos aflojan el agarre de los lados antes de que sus labios se curven en una pequeña sonrisa, disfrutando del canto de los pájaros en las ramas.
—Estás en mi columpio —dice un niño y, antes de que pueda girarse para reaccionar, se encuentra cayendo al suelo mientras intenta evitar golpearse la cara. Sus ojos vagan para mirar a la figura detrás de ella, viendo a un niño con cabello castaño y ojos marrones claros mirándola con un ligero ceño entre las cejas.
—¿Qué te pasa? —pregunta Kenna, sus ojos casi llenos de lágrimas, pero las contiene. Mira hacia otro lado, limpiando sus lágrimas mientras intenta levantarse antes de fijarse en el rasguño y el corte en su rodilla derecha.
—¡Aidan Gabriel Ashton! —una mujer desconocida sale hacia el patio de juegos con los ojos muy abiertos mientras se dirige hacia ellos apresuradamente. Agarra el brazo de Aidan mientras se gira para mirar a Kenna—. ¿Qué has hecho? —le pregunta a su hijo, quien simplemente pone los ojos en blanco, sin importarle.
—Ella estaba en mi columpio —responde Aidan, cruzando rápidamente los brazos.
La mujer camina hacia Kenna, sus ojos muestran preocupación antes de fijarse en la sangre en su rodilla. Sus ojos se agrandan mientras se gira hacia su hijo—. No debes actuar así con ninguna niña, Aidan. ¿Qué te dije...? —Justo cuando estaba a punto de hablar, Aidan la interrumpe.
—Es muy poco caballeroso lastimar a una niña y también es irrespetuoso lastimar a alguien sin razón, pero nunca lastimes a una niña —dice, de alguna manera aburrido de decir lo mismo más de una vez.
—¿Kenna? —los ojos de Kenna se dirigen a su madre, quien los mira a los tres con sorpresa antes de acercarse a ellos. Observa el rasguño en la rodilla de Kenna—. ¿Qué pasó? —pregunta, preocupada.
Así, Kenna se sienta sola en una de las aulas, sus ojos vagan por la habitación y se detienen en su rodilla, que ha sido vendada. Frunce el ceño al escuchar a su madre hablar sobre cómo se lastimó sin razón.
—Ahora mismo —dice alguien antes de que la puerta se cierre de nuevo, todo queda en un silencio absoluto, de inmediato.
En cuestión de segundos, Aidan aparece cerca de la puerta, lo que hace que Kenna lo mire, viendo que está jugando con la punta de sus dedos pero sus ojos están fijos en ella. Luego, toma asiento frente a ella—. Hola.
—Hola... —responde Kenna, lentamente.
Kenna y Aidan se miran el uno al otro con una expresión inexpresiva, pero como niños, no sienten nada excepto la atracción hacia la belleza del otro.
—Lo siento por empujarte del columpio —dice y Kenna mira hacia la puerta, viendo que su madre está allí con la madre de Aidan, observando también. Ella se agarra a sus propios pequeños dedos debajo de la mesa antes de mirar a Aidan de nuevo, quien parece estar pensando en otra cosa antes de ofrecerle su mano—. ¿Amigos? —pregunta.
Como sabe Jeffrey, Kenna siempre será la que perdone. Fue criada con modales y siempre los seguirá—. Amigos —responde, estrechando su mano.
—Tus ojos son realmente bonitos —dice Aidan mientras inclina la cabeza hacia un lado, lo que hace que Kenna sonría.
—Los tuyos también —responde Kenna y ambos comienzan a hablar de otras cosas, en las que Kenna se siente cómoda bastante rápido. Nunca se había sentido así antes, especialmente con alguien que la había empujado del columpio, pero por alguna razón, siente que serán amigos por mucho tiempo.
Ambas madres los observan con una sonrisa en sus rostros mientras se conocen. Ninguna de ellas sabía que, desde ese día... lograron ser los mejores amigos. Fue un viaje valioso y fue su viaje.

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.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
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? It will be a challenge for him and me because I don’t do well at being told what to do outside of work.
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.
They had me in their tight grip now and my life depended on them. How things got to this point it's hard to say, but here I was…an orphan…with blood on my hands…literally.
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.
They give me something I never thought would be possible...revenge served dead. They have created a monster and i am ready to burn the world down.

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.
