Prologue
Rayne's pov
I have been a vet for 3 years now, and I love it. I just opened up my own practice a year ago. I love working with animals. It's people I don't like to much. I always wanted to be a pediatrician, but I didn't think I could do it. I chose to work with animals because they don't judge you.
I am a plus- sized woman. People look at me and laugh. I have been teased about my weight all my life. Those haunting words are what prevented me from following my dreams.
I am a good vet. I worked hard to get my own practice. This is where I was meant to be. I was all alone here. Just me and the animals. I liked it that way. I enjoyed being alone.
My family keeps saying I need to find a good man and settle down. Find me a man that doesn't care about my size, and maybe I will. Men don't want big girls. They want little twiggy models that doesn't know how to eat. My knowing how to eat, and loving food was a problem.
I dated before, but it never went anywhere. They were always embarrassed to be seen with me. They wanted to stay in the bedroom, and I wanted more than that. So, I stay single. Less chance of getting hurt that way.
My secretary was on lunch, and I heard the bell go off. Great that meant someone was here. I hated talking with people. Guess it's part of the job to talk to people though.
I walked out front and stopped dead in my tracks. There at the front desk was the sexiest man alive holding a little puppy. Now this was a site that would leave any woman panting.
"Hi, are you Dr. Rayne?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"I found this little guy outside my office, and my friend told me about this place. I will pay to have him checked out. If you can't find his owners, I would be happy to take him home with me."
"Okay I will look him over and see if he has a chip. Just fill out this, and I will let you know when I know anything."
I took the puppy from his arms. When our hands accidently touched, I felt like I was on fire. It's been a long time since a man has touched me. I got his information then he left. I took the puppy back and started to look him over when my phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hey Rayne, it's me Josie."
Josie and I have been great friends since high school. She was now married and had a little boy of her own. I was so happy for her.
"Hey Josie, how are things going?"
"Well, I was wondering what you were doing Friday night."
"I have nothing planned. Why what's up?"
"Well, there is this doctor that works with Brantley that I would love for you to meet. It's not a date just come over for a cookout please."
I hated being set up. It never worked out. But I could never tell Josie no.
"Fine what time should I be there?"
"Oh, yay be here by 7. This is going to be great Rayne just wait and see."
We hung up, and I felt panicked. I knew this wasn't going to end well. Men just didn't like a woman with curves.
Kane's pov
I loved being a pediatrician. I knew since I was a kid that I would always be a doctor. But lately I felt like it wasn't enough. All I ever did was work. I was lonely. I wish I had a wife and child to come home too. All my friends are already married with kids.
Every time we went out, I was always the 5th wheel. So, I just stopped going out. I was doing a house call for one of my patients today. He wasn't doing very well, and I knew he needed to be hospitalized. This is the part of my job I didn't like.
Once I had everything set up for my patient to get to the hospital I headed to my practice. When I was walking up to the door, I heard a whimper from a box in front of the door. I ran over to it and saw a small frail puppy. I called my buddy Brantley and asked if he knew any good vets in the area. He told me to go to his wife Josie's friends vet hospital.
I picked up the little guy and took him there. I walked in but didn't see anyone. Then a beautiful woman came out from the back.
"Hi, are you Dr. Rayne?"
"Yes, how can I help you?"
"I found this little guy outside my office, and my friend told me about this place. I will pay to have him checked out. If you can't find his owners, I would be happy to take him home with me."
"Okay I will look him over and see if he has a chip. Just fill out this, and I will let you know when I know anything."
Our hands touched and it felt like an electric current went right through me. I left and wasn't in the car only a second when Brantley called me.
"Hey."
"Hey, did you find the vet hospital okay?"
"Yea thanks."
"So, what did you think of Rayne?"
"Honestly, she was gorgeous, but why are you asking?"
"Well Josie wants to play matchmaker. She invited Rayne over for a cookout. You interested."
"What time?"
"Be here about 6:30?"
"I'll be there."
"Okay see you later."
I hung up and hurried of to my practice. I wanted to be done on time so I could see her again. Maybe I wouldn't be lonely for long.
Nakia was the kind of woman other women thrived to become. She had a successful career and a beautiful home that she bought, and she was always on point. At thirty years old, she thought she had it all figured out, but boy was she wrong. Her mama always taught her that you need to be the woman a man wants and not the woman you want to be. Every day Nakia lives to prove that theory wrong. Through her so-called weakness, she has found a strength she never knew existed. Don't ever let someone's negative opinion of you become your reality.
What would you do if your father hated you so much that he sold you off to a group of alpha werewolves? That's the very thing that happened to poor little human Fiona. Now she is forced to live with six sexy shifters and sleep with the four remaining single brothers and whoever gets her pregnant first not only gets land, but they will also become her mate. Who even does that? There was no way she wanted to be a part of any of this...

She started to see a lady riding a horse down by the lake but no one else but her ex Ethan could see the woman so everyone called her crazy. Is she really going crazy or was it someone trying to warn her of incoming danger?
Niko has always strived to be nothing like his Mafia crime boss father even leaving and falling love with a woman and having a son he named Noah. His father hated that so much that he had the girl killed and kidnapped Noah all to bring Niko back to him. All Niko wants to do is get his son Noah and little brother Nikolas away from his father but he knows the only way to do that is a fight to the death....
Love is many things sometimes it comes into our life and saves us other times it breaks us. When we fall in love we lose a part of us because we become the person we think they want us to be. What happens when we build our whole world around that person and they leave? We are left to pick up the broken pieces of our shattered heart to give the next person what's left.
Eliana reunited with her family, now ruined by fate: Dad jailed, Mom deathly ill, six crushed brothers, and a fake daughter who'd fled for richer prey. Everyone sneered. But at her command, Eliana summoned the Onyx Syndicate. Bars opened, sickness vanished, and her brothers rose-one walking again, others soaring in business, tech, and art. When society mocked the "country girl," she unmasked herself: miracle doctor, famed painter, genius hacker, shadow queen. A powerful tycoon held her close. "Country girl? She's my fiancée!" Eliana glared at him. "Dream on." Resolutely, he vowed never to let go.
The night I discovered my husband's whore was carrying his heir, I smiled for the cameras-and plotted his ruin. Scarlett was born a queen-heir to a powerful legacy, Luna of the Dark Moon Pack by blood and by sacrifice. She gave everything to Alexander: her love, her loyalty, her life. In return, he paraded his mistress before their pack... and dared to call it duty. But Scarlett won't be another broken woman weeping in the shadows. She'll wear her crown of thorns with pride, tear down every lie built around her, and when she strikes, it will be glorious. The Alpha forgot that the woman he betrayed is far more dangerous than the girl who once loved him.
Abandoned as a child and orphaned by murder, Kathryn swore she'd reclaim every shred of her stolen birthright. When she returned, society called her an unpolished love-child, scoffing that Evan had lost his mind to marry her. Only Evan knew the truth: the quiet woman he cradled like porcelain hid secrets enough to set the city trembling. She doubled as a legendary healer, an elusive hacker, and the royal court's favorite perfumer. At meetings, the directors groaned at the lovey-dovey couple, "Does she really have to be here?" Evan shrugged. "Happy wife, happy life." Soon her masks fell, and those who sneered bowed in awe.
"My sister threatens to take my mate. And I let her keep him." Born without a wolf, Seraphina is the disgrace of her pack-until a drunken night leaves her pregnant and married to Kieran, the ruthless Alpha who never wanted her. But their decade-long marriage was no fairytale. For ten years, she endured the humiliation: No Luna title. No mating mark. Just cold sheets and colder stares. When her perfect sister returned, Kieran filed for divorce the same night. And her family was happy to see her marriage broken. Seraphina didn't fight but left silently. However, when danger struck, shocking truths emerged: ☽ That night wasn't an accident ☽ Her "defect" is actually a rare gift ☽ And now every Alpha-including her ex-husband-will fight to claim her Too bad she's done being owned. *** Kieran's growl vibrated through my bones as he pinned me against the wall. The heat of him seared through layers of fabric. "You think leaving is that easy, Seraphina?" His teeth grazed the unmarked skin of my throat. "You. Are. Mine." A hot palm slid up my thigh. "No one else will ever touch you." "You had ten years to claim me, Alpha." I bared my teeth in a smile. "Funny how you only remember I'm yours... when I'm walking away."
One year into marriage, Yvonne realized she was nothing more than a substitute for someone else's memory. When his true love reappeared, Julian tossed a divorce contract her way. "She's back. We're finished," he said flatly. The secret of her pregnancy stayed hidden. Yvonne fought the urge to cry, signed her freedom, and disappeared. Five years on, cameras flashed as Yvonne, radiant in red, strode across a film festival stage with her bright-eyed son. Julian's hands clenched as he watched. "Sir, the boy's four and a half," whispered his shaken assistant. Then, he rushed to the film set only to witness an A-list actor gently wrapping his arm around Yvonne's waist. "I've booked your favorite restaurant for tonight's celebration." The little boy blinked his innocent eyes at Julian, asking, "Who are you? One of my mom's crazy admirers?" He cornered her in the dressing room, his voice hoarse as he said, "Let's remarry." Her lips curled slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "The curtain's down; it's time to end this scene." But this time, he wasn't letting go.
Once the unwanted foster daughter of the Sawyer family, Briella endured chains, cruelty, and a betrayal that nearly cost her life. Everyone thinks she's long gone. But five years later, she returns as Skye-an elite designer, a mother of twins, and the silent force behind a storm that's about to break. She's not here to forgive. She's here to expose lies, ruin reputations, and make every last one of them pay.
