Chapter 1 . Nightmares

A dark room, Dan can barely see anything. He tries to move and realizes being bound to a chair and gagged. He struggles to free himself to the point where the metal wires are cutting into the flesh. Dan looks around. He is bound to metal chair, this looks like an unused room, cobwebs everywhere. The windows are shaded, broken furniture scattered. The floor is dirty, and rug has more holes than you can count. There is an overhead bulb, but not bright enough for him to clearly make out things.

He seems to be at one end of the a very large room since he could not see much beyond and there was no sign of a door. As he struggles to move, he hears a metal door opening and footsteps approaching. Suddenly the lights go out and in the darkness he realizes a dark figure is walking up to him. It stops in front of him, and he sees a large bloodied hand extending towards him.

Dan suddenly tries to grab something in the air, as he woken up from his dream, sweating profusely. He is sitting on his bed and his breathing is rushed, took him couple of minutes to calm down. A girl was sleeping soundly next to him, with her back exposed. He could see the hickeys he left on her, proof of the wild night. He gets down from the bed, wears his boxers and walks to kitchen to get a glass of water. He grabs a bottle from the fridge and sits down on the sofa. The same nightmare again. It's been a while since it last happened. Why now?

Dan checks the time, its 5am. He couldn't believe that he had slept for just a couple of hours. The nightmare seemed to last an eternity. Last night was crazy, it was his friend's bachelor party. He reached home just after midnight, early by his standards, but what followed kept him awake till early hours. Doesn't matter. He would not be able to sleep anymore. He goes to his gym in the basement to start with his morning routine. After an hour, he comes up to the guestroom to find the girl still sleeping. He doesn't bother waking her up and goes to his bedroom, washes up and leaves for office. His maid should be in soon, and knows how to do with his one night stands.

It doesn't take him long to reach office, since it is still early. There are very few people in the office.

"Good morning, Mr. Anderson" he is greeted by his chief of security, Eric Summers as he enters into the building.

"Good morning, Eric. Everything good? How is Irene?" Dan nodes at him.

"Yes, Mr. Anderson. Irene started college last week. She is enjoying it." Eric softens up at the mention of his daughter.

"Good, take care" Dan says before entering into the elevator.

Eric and Ryan, Dan's secretary, are probably the only people to whom Dan would talk informally. To others, he is the arrogant, cold and ruthless CEO, Daniel Anderson. Eric has known Dan since he was boy. Dan used to play in Eric's cabin sometimes, when he visited his father. Not to mention, he is one of the youngest recipients for the Businessman of the year award at 26, and the most richest in the country.

At 6'3, his handsome chiseled face exudes a devilish charm.

Daniel Anderson is the young CEO for the Andersons and Sons Ltd. The youngest and only son, he took over the business from his father at 22, when it one of the top five companies in the country. Within four years, he has made Andersons is number one company, with branches all over the world.

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?
