Chapter 1 One

"Lock up when you're done cleaning" a deep male voice echos and shuts the door.

"Sure boss" Phoenix replies sheepishly wiping the counter of the doughnut shop she works at, her ginger red hair is in a messy bun and she's wearing the shop's employee uniform, a royal blue tshirt with 'Jason's doughnut shop' boldly printed on it and beige pants. She removes the white apron on her neck so she can clean efficiently.

She picks up the mop after she finishes wiping the counter and dips the dry mop in the bucket of soap and water, she starts mopping the floor and gets water all over her black crocs. "Fuck" she mutters under her breath shaking the water off her crocs.

She zones out as she mops the floor, thinking about her whole life in and out of foster care and how she's going to take care of this month's rent for her tiny studio apartment a few blocks away from the doughnut shop.

"I can't believe I'm paying $600 a month for that piece of shit" she says out loud.

"All because I'm a minor" she sighs

She finishes moping and takes the mop and bucket to the closet at the back of the shop,she hears the sound of the door opening and shouts "We're closed"

She hears footsteps as they enter the shop anyway and the sound metal screeching of metal chair as the person pulls a seat, angrily she walks back to the front and sees a man staring at his phone, he's in his early 20s sitting on the metal chair at the right corner. He's wearing a dark blue Brioni single-breasted two-piece suit and a pair of black John Lobb skye lace-Up leather ankle Boots, his has his black hair slicked back and he has a slightly muscular build.

"Excuse me sir, we're closed" she says trying to hide the annoyance in her voice

"Yes I could see the sign" The man says still staring at his phone not bothering to look up at her. Hearing his reply makes her even more furious causing deep furrows in her brow. Just as she's about to say something he speaks again " Ill have a Boston cream doughnut, hurry up please I have somewhere to be" He looks up at her face this time and sees how angry she is, he smiles.

What the fuck, she thinks to herself. She stays in that same position and repeats herself with more anger in her voice "We're closed"

"I'll give you 500 dollars" he stares at her blankly and this time she sees his face properly, he has very thick long eyebrows, pale smooth skin,a small,slightly turned-up nose,big brown almond shaped eyes,pink heart shaped lips and a soft jawline. She almost refuses but that's more than enough to cover the rest of her rent this month.

He looks rich, let me rip him off, she says in her head.

"Make it 700" He complies and hands her 700 dollars.

"One Boston cream doughnut, coming up"

She runs to the back where the leftover doughnuts from earlier in the day were left off, she grabs a plate and napkin for that man and she puts the doughnut on it, she serves it to him and he shoves the whole thing in his mouth, she looks at him disgustedly while waiting for him to finish up.

He cleans his mouth with the napkin "That was delicious, thank you" he smiles

"You're welcome" He stands up heading for the door when another man enters. He's wearing the exact same suit but his is black instead and they have similar features but he had tan skin and he looks older, they're brothers she assumes. He's also in his early 20s

"We're closed, as you can see on the sign" She tells the man. He doesn't even acknowledge her existence, he turns to the other man "Let's go, it's late"

"Thank you" The first man says to me again.

"A tip would be nice too"

'Oh' he mouths and grabs 200 dollars from his pocket and gives it to her.

As they're leaving the second guy trips on one of the chairs making him fall to the ground, Phoenix rushes to him to help him up while his younger brother laughs. He looks at her this time and he's shocked, like he just saw a ghost, he gets up hurriedly and his brother stops laughing,suddenly everywhere's quiet and the lights randomly go off as he stares at her face. "Out, now" He tells his brother and he obeys.

He still has a shocked expression on his face as he stares at Phoenix. "Why are you staring at her like that?" His brother asks peeping his head from the door. He looks at Phoenix one last time and walks hurriedly out the door. The two brothers walk away and enter their car which is parked across the street. She looks closely and it's a red 2022 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class making her think she should have charged them them for more.

"You're a creepy bastard." His eyes smolder me and his answering grin is nothing short of beautiful. Deadly. "Yet you hunger for me. Tell me, this appetite of yours, does it always tend toward 'creepy bastards'?" **** Widower and ex-boss to the Mafia, Zefiro Della Rocca, has an unhealthy fixation on the woman nextdoor. It began as a coincidence, growing into mere curiosity, and soon, it was an itch he couldn't ignore, like a quick fix of crack for an addict. He didn't know her name, but he knew every inch of her skin, how it flushed when she climaxed, her favourite novel and that every night she contemplated suicide. He didn't want to care, despising his rapt fascination of the woman. She was in love with her abusive husband. She was married, bound by a contract to the Bratva's hitman. She was off-limits. But when Zefiro wanted something, it was with an intensity that bordered on madness. He obsessed, possessed, owned. There'd be bloodshed if he touched her, but the sight of blood always did fascinate him. * When Susanna flees from her husband, she stumbles right into the arms of her devilishly handsome neighbour with a brooding glare. He couldn't stand her, but she needed him, if she was ever going to escape her husband who now wanted her dead. Better the devil you know than the angel you don't. She should have recalled that before hopping into Zefiro's car and letting him whisk her away to Italy. Maybe then, she wouldn't have started an affair with him. He was the only man who touched her right, and the crazy man took no small pains in ensuring he would be the last.

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?
