Caught in a deadly game of betrayal, Emilia Montclair, wrongly accused of slaying Eldoria's Lunarborn alpha, must evade relentless pursuit in the vibrant streets of New York. Just as hope dwindles, fate intertwines her path with Liam Greywood, a mesmerizing Lycan Halfing. His offer of aid comes at a steep price: the reins of the feared Lycan hunter army. United by necessity, Emilia, Liam, and the enigmatic ex-assassin Catherine forge an unlikely alliance. As Diana's vengeful fury threatens to consume all, can they defy the shadows of Liam's cryptic history and rewrite destiny itself? The salvation of a world teetering on chaos hangs in the balance, but secrets rarely stay buried, and trust is a fragile currency.

The Huntress and The Dark Halfing Chapter 1 Prologue

Emilia's POV.

Amidst the echoing chaos of the scintillating city of New Orleans, I ran through the streets, the echo of Diana's men boots thudding behind me.

"Stop running Emilia, just surrender and face your punishment"

I needed darkness to conceal myself but the light in the city was never ending. Before the men got to close I took cover in one of the labyrinthe alleyways and ran into Liam's unfinished skyscraper.

"I didn't think you'd find me so soon Kaden!" I yelled.

He broke off from the remaining men and followed me into the building.

"Oh, but I always find my prey," Kaden said.

Kaden pulled his pistol and shot at me but I deflected it with my sword.

"You know I'm innocent so why are you still doing this!" I asked.

"I don't care about justice Emilia" He chuckled, "I enjoy the thrill from hunting weak little things like yourselves"

"You're insane!" I yelled.

"Insanity? Perhaps. But what fun is life without a little chaos"

He changed his walking speed from a speedy walk to a full on sprint as he charged towards me. I dodged his tackle and scurried up the stairs. Without hesitation he started running after me.

"Emilia, don't run from me!" He taunted, firing off stray bullets into the air.

I fled with every fiber of my being, but my body betrayed me. I stumbled on the stairs, falling flat on my face, with Kaden just a few steps behind me. He reached for my ankle and grabbed it tightly.

"Why are you running darling?" Kaden snapped. I could taste the stench of decay on his breath. With a desperate kick to his face, I broke free, dashing to the rooftop, but he wasn't too far behind.

"Leave me alone!" I yelled at the top of my voice.

"Who's gonna help you Emilia?" Kaden asked, "You're a wanted criminal, even the police would probably shoot you on sight"

Underneath the glow of the moon, I raised my sword and aimed it at Kaden's head.

"Take a step closer and I'll take your head off!" I yelled but all he did was burst out into uncontrollable laughter.

"Is this funny to you!" I shouted.

"You still don't get it do you?" Kaden said.

He pulled his pistol from the holsters once more. I yothought he wanted to shoot me but instead he threw it off the building.

"Is this some kind of game to you Kaden?" I asked.

"Do you know why I chased you up this building instead of killing you earlier?" Kaden ranted. "It's because Diana wants you alive. She threatened to end me if I dared to take your life," he continued. "But rest assured, I won't take your life, you'll just tragically stumble off this ten-story building and splatter onto the unforgiving sidewalk."

The world around me blurred, it was like I suddenly realised how high up we were.

"Even if you pushed me, shed still know you were responsible."

"Who said anything about pushing?"

The building trembled. I peered over the edge to witness explosions rippling through its foundation. Soon, the structure began to tilt.

"So you'd kill yourself just to kill me?" I marvelled, "You truly are mad!"

"Oh you forget Emilia, you and I are infinitely different!"

Kaden's Bones cracked and his flesh contorted, as his form shifted. His eyes glowed with an eerie light, as his teeth elongated into razor-sharp fangs. Fur erupted from the skin, engulfing him and his monstrous, bloodcurdling howl filled the night air.

"Shit!"

Kaden leapt off the building and latched onto another one nearby, leaving me to plummet to my doom.

"How did it come to this?" I whispered before shutting my eyes.( ....before darkness took me)

HONEY MULLINS

Six years ago, I was a naive girl sold by my father to the powerful Sanders estate, only to be tossed onto the streets after a brutal assault they labeled "marital infidelity." I fled the country pregnant and broken, hiding from the shadow of a husband I had never even met. Now, I've returned to New York with my triplets to sign the final divorce papers and disappear forever. But Archibald Sanders-the man I was told was a crippled recluse-intercepted us with the cold precision of a predator. He didn't see the woman his family destroyed; he saw a gold-digger who had shamed his name. His security team hunted us to a grimy motel, using tactical force to snatch my children away and drag me to his glass-walled empire. In his office, he loomed over me, demanding a DNA test and threatening to throw me in prison while my babies were lost to the foster system. He was convinced I'd cheated, yet he stared at my sons with a haunting confusion, unable to ignore the stormy blue eyes that were a perfect mirror of his own. I stood there, paralyzed by his scent-the sharp tang of rain and expensive leather that triggered the icy dread of my worst nightmares. How could he accuse me of betrayal when he felt exactly like the monster who had shattered my life in that dark hotel room? "I'll sign anything," I sobbed, "just give me my kids." But the game changed when my five-year-old son hacked the tower's security, holding the skyscraper hostage to save me. In the chaos, a fragile, silent boy-Archibald's secret son-wandered into the room and reached for me as if I were his missing soul. Archibald's face turned to stone as he tore up the agreement and locked the doors. "Until I find out why my son is looking at you like that," he growled, "you aren't going anywhere."

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

The Silent Bride's Billion Dollar Contract

Landslide

My bank account showed exactly $42.18, and my student loan notifications were flashing red. I lived in a sweltering Queens apartment with my Aunt Lydia, where the air was thick with the smell of stale frying oil and the constant threat of being homeless. Lydia handed me a grainy photo of a man twice my age and told me she had already "sold" me to him. He was a dry cleaner looking for a wife, and in exchange for my hand, he would pay off her credit cards and my debt. If I didn't show up for the date that night, my boxes would be on the curb by midnight. I arrived at the cafe in a state of panic, my selective mutism making it impossible to even breathe. In the crowded room, I accidentally sat at the wrong table. Instead of the man from the photo, I found myself facing Gerhard Holcomb—the cold, terrifyingly handsome billionaire whose family owned the very museum where I worked. He didn't send me away; instead, he studied my trembling hands and offered me a different deal: a two-year contract marriage, a two-million-dollar payout, and a strict clause forbidding any children. I signed the papers and moved into his Park Avenue penthouse, thinking I was finally safe. But when I went back to the old apartment to retrieve the only memento of my dead parents, Lydia lashed out, leaving me bleeding from a head wound. Gerhard’s retaliation was absolute—he had her arrested and her building foreclosed on within hours, claiming he was simply "protecting his assets." As I recovered in his silent, glass-walled home, I saw a call from a famous socialite flash on his phone, and a cold truth settled in my gut. I wasn't just a wife; I was a placeholder, a silent shield used to fend off the women from his past. I looked at the massive pink diamond on my finger and realized the silence I had lived in my whole life was about to become my most expensive prison. I had traded a life of poverty for a high-stakes game of shadows, and now I had to survive the man who claimed to own me.

He Thought I Was A Doormat, Until I Ruined Him

SHANA GRAY

The sterile white of the operating room blurred, then sharpened, as Skye Sterling felt the cold clawing its way up her body. The heart monitor flatlined, a steady, high-pitched whine announcing her end. Her uterus had been removed, a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding, but the blood wouldn't clot. It just kept flowing, warm and sticky, pooling beneath her. Through heavy eyes, she saw a trembling nurse holding a phone on speaker. "Mr. Kensington," the nurse's voice cracked, "your wife... she's critical." A pause, then a sweet, poisonous giggle. Seraphina Miller. "Liam is in the shower," Seraphina's voice purred. "Stop calling, Skye. It's pathetic. Faking a medical emergency on our anniversary? Even for you, that's low." Then, Liam's bored voice: "If she dies, call the funeral home. I have a meeting in the morning." Click. The line went dead. A second later, so did Skye. The darkness that followed was absolute, suffocating, a black ocean crushing her lungs. She screamed into the void, a silent, agonizing wail of regret for loving a man who saw her as a nuisance, for dying without ever truly living. Until she died, she didn't understand. Why was her life so tragically wasted? Why did her husband, the man she loved, abandon her so cruelly? The injustice of it all burned hotter than the fever in her body. Then, the air rushed back in. Skye gasped, her body convulsing violently on the mattress. Her eyes flew open, wide and terrified, staring blindly into the darkness. Her trembling hand reached for her phone. May 12th. Five years ago. She was back.
