Cole Grey, the fearsome leader of a powerful werewolf clan, insists that having a mate would weaken him and swore off the idea...until he received a bride – the feisty, rule-breaking Dove Summers. Dove Summers is a curse to her pack. Bullied and ostracized, she finds strength in the Moon Goddess and swears to a life of a priestess, serving the deity. But to save her father's life, she becomes the unwilling bride of the clan's leader and enters a new life that forces her to turn her back on the Moon Goddess. While Dove tries to save the souls of the Whispering Moon Pack, she will unknowingly melt the icy heart of her striking husband and discover a passion that she never knew existed. The Alpha's Weakness is created by Noko Simkin, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 1 : My Life or My Father's

[Dove]

"Nooo!"

A long piercing scream. One of a broken heart and shattered dreams. It could have been mine, but it wasn't. I watched on quietly as an angry finger shot at me like a silver bullet.

"Not her! Anyone but her!" A sweet voice that matches the beautiful face continued in its deafening shriek.

That face turned to me, its pretty features crushed in pure anger and disgust. "Cole is mine! You--."

She was pulled away instantly. Twisting and kicking, she screamed curses that echoed into the background. The names I was called behind my back were not being screamed in the open. 'Burden', 'b*tch', 'slut'.

Everyone heard but no one cared. They acted like I deserved them.

I knew about them all along. Beautiful face and her chummies didn't bother to hide their mocking expressions, sneaking half-covered smiles whenever I was near. Their private discussions were all about me - my background and my body parts.

Silence again. Except for the whispering amongst the pack. Someone whispered, 'Here she goes again. Ruining lives.' Their eyes were digging my grave. I could feel their sharp teeth and angry breath near my pale skin.

A familiar commanding voice boomed over the angry whispers. "So what do you say, Dove?"

I tilted my chin towards our leader, Abe, the oldest, fiercest and filthiest of us all. Despite all that had happened, I inhaled quietly and drove the confidence in my voice. "What about our agreement?"

"What agreement?" He sounded bored.

I refused to give in. "You agreed to let me serve the Moon Goddess. You agreed that I am of age now. I am ready."

The spiteful whispers erupted once more.

'What! Our priestess? She? Abe agreed to let her serve our divine Moon Goddess? We'll be doomed!'

'Who does she think she is? Is she crazy? She's just a cub!'

'Abe won't allow it! He can't allow it! He mustn't!'

'She drove her mother away! She will drive the Moon Goddess away!'

I clenched my fist tighter, feeling the bite of my nails to remind myself to stay strong. I must be strong. No matter what they say, we did nothing wrong. It was my mother who left us. She gave birth to me and left the next day, not wasting a second. Not a word from her ever since.

Father was soon demoted. Once the leader's right-hand man in combat and battlefields, he was suddenly reassigned to watch over the Omegas, toiling in the fields and going about their daily chores in the main house. No reason was given. No one knew why. And no one cared. They only bothered to name him 'Dan the mutt' or 'Dan the Watchdog'.

A cold hard chuckle and then a hyena laugh. "Dove," Abe looked at me, amused. "I'm sure you know what'll happen should you reject the marriage proposal."

My chest tightened. I knew they would gladly hand my father over to the Whispering Moon Pack and let them have their way with him. My father would rather die than to leave the pack - he would kill himself if he were banished. The pack is his pride, his everything.

But they don't care.

My nails cut through my skin. I could smell my blood and my resistance. I inhaled again. "But he did it for you, Abe." I shouldn't have said it, but something told me to.

"Lies!" The calm mask finally collapsed into its true ugly form.

"My father is not a cheater." I stood my ground. My nails drove through my flesh. Fresh anger boiled through my veins. Intense heat shot up my spine. My long hair instantly shone in pure silver.

The crowd pulled back and burst out of control. The sight of anything silver frightens them. To them, I am a walking curse - a bad omen - because of my silvery white hair. Anything I touch would go to hell. I used to wear a wig to avoid the unwanted attention. But the Moon Goddess encouraged me to embrace it. It is the glow of the moon and I should feel proud wearing it.

When beautiful face and her chummies dumped me into the icy waters that dark winter night, her comfort and strength pulled me out. I felt reborn. I felt loved and cherished. I knew then, I wanted to serve her.

That has been my only goal in life. For twenty years I waited. But tonight, my dream has shattered.

Abe's voice sounded again, this time heavier and colder. "There is no doubt your father insulted Cole Grey. The Whispering Moon Pack will not let this slide. Cole is their respectful leader. They will want to wage a war against us if they are not appeased."

As if on a cue, Abe's Beta folded his arms and sneered. "Our pack doesn't deserve this war. Your father started it. He should pay for it."

Abe held up a hand and interrupted, "Unless, of course, you agree to help him."

"I am not marrying some werewolf I know nothing of." I kept my chin high. "I only serve the Moon Goddess."

Mutterings broke out. 'Crazy b*tch' and 'She doesn't deserve Cole''. But I stared ahead.

"Then we'll have to hand Dan over." Abe sighed, then leaned back in his seat. "I can't afford to put the others in danger." With newfound confidence, he emphasized. "They are innocent."

Deep down I know he was right - this is the only chance of redemption for my father. He can finally recover his previous pride and glory. Those rumors may even disappear overnight.

At this point, Abe straightened up and said. "I will reassign him." I widened my eyes at him, lured by his words, and he bit on it. "He can return to combat." A slight pause and he added. "If he still has what it takes."

Another empty promise. Yet I really have no choice. I have to believe it. My father waited for years for this. I hate it. But, once again, I'm at its mercy. I'm at their mercy.

When I looked up again, I saw the smirking faces and my heart fell into the darkest depths. I croaked in defeat. "I'll do it."

Abe's serene mask was back in its place as the doors crashed open.

A towering figure stepped in.

The crowd divided in quiet obedience as he strode through, his dangerously handsome and arrogant eyes fixed on me. As he moved closer, his wild black hair rustled proudly against his firm broad shoulders, reflecting streaks of metallic blue in the moonlight.

And then I caught it - the scent of fresh mint and rain. It was the most divine scent I had ever experienced, yet it did not stop my shudder of fear.

Looking at the divorce papers my lips curled up into a mocking smile. 'How big fool I am? How can I think that he will give a chance to this marriage? How can I forget that I was nothing more a tool in his eyes to vent his anger until his beloved Tara is back. Since, she was back, how can he let me stay there?' "After you will sign these papers, you will receive 100 million dollars as alimony." the lawyer added. Because of his words, I came back to my senses took the pen from him, and signed the name. I have also gotten exhausted from this marriage both physically and mentally. Even though I had wanted my child to be born into a complete family, I didn't want my child to have a stepmother and live miserably like me for the rest of his life. After taking the papers from my hand, the lawyer gave me the bank card, turned around, and was about to leave when he paused at the door. He then turned around and added, "Mr. Carter said that he hoped that you won't pester him, or you have to bear the consequences." The lawyer's words were like a knife stabbing in my heart, but I still nodded. Anyway, I also don't plan to have anything to do with him anymore. I just want to live a good life with my children. After the lawyer left, the ward fell into silence. I placed my hand on my belly and said to my children, "Baby, I am sorry, Mommy can't give you a complete family! But I promise you, I will do my best to give the love of both mother and father." 'As for giving one of my child, I will never do that. They are my babies and my alone. I and I will give birth to all of them and raise them no matter what.' Four Years Later... Anya came back to the country with her three kids, to inherit the company left by his grandfather...

MY MASTERS

MY MASTERS

Mercy Kay

For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?
