When Clark's entire pack got assassinated, she managed to escape death. Running through the woods, Maggie found Clark and got her to safety. Gaining Clark's trust, Maggie finally told her that she needed Clark to get pregnant with Rowan's pup, ensuring the continuity of their bloodline, seeing as only an Alpha can carry Rowan's pup. Eventually, after going through a brutal pregnancy, Clark gives birth to twins - one boy and one girl. Rowan and Clark come to an agreement that he would keep the first born pup (the boy) and Clark would keep the girl, and head their separate ways.

Clark waits at the bar only to see that Rowan is with her friend, they were dating. Immediately, Clark stands up and leaves, not being able to look at him.

Chapter 1 My Arrival

Clark P.O.V

Dream

Run! Just run Clark! You need to get away – I kept repeating in my head over and over again. I knew that they were out there and that I would likely meet the same fate as the rest of my pack ... death!

No! No! No! They were getting closer. I did the first thing my father taught me ever since I was able to walk, always run in a non-straight line, this will confuse anything that might be chasing you. I gave one last look behind me before all of a sudden I stumbled into something hard, making me fall down to the ground

End of dream

I woke up in a pool of my own sweat, panting and desperately needing air to infiltrate my lungs. I clutched the blanket and furiously looked around myself. Where was I? That was when it finally hit me – I was supposed to be in my safe heaven. "Took you long enough" I heard a rough voice say next to me, making me jump up into a defensive stance. I looked back at the most handsome wolf I have ever seen. He had a powerful aura basically beaming off of him, making my wolf want to submit, thankfully that didn't have to happen seeing as I am an Alpha's daughter – Correction, I was an Alpha's daughter.

"Who are you" I said, narrowing my eyes at him. I couldn't take my eyes off his. They were emerald green and honestly, the most attractive quality of him, besides the muscles that were threatening to tear through his two sizes too small shirt. He just chuckled as he took another sip of his whiskey, crossing his legs and sitting back in the seat. "Feisty one you are" he said in a heavy Scottish accent – goddess help me! I just stared at him, waiting for the answer to my question.

"Okay then, seeing as you are one of the serious types. My name is Rowan Black, Alpha of the Bloodstone pack. You are Clark Hudson, Alpha's daughter of the Midnight pack. You were found and saved by my mother, Maggie, in the forest. You were running from whoever assassinated your entire pack. She brought you here for safekeeping and you have been on and off sleeping for the past week I would say" Rowan said, just staring back at me with his head cocked off to the side.

I stared at him with wide eyes. Holy shit! How did he know who I was and what happened?! Did the news manage to spread so far in such a short time period?! I just slowly nodded my head. Seeing as I was basically now classified as a rogue, I was at Rowan's mercy. "Something for the shock?" Rowan asked me as he passed me a glass of whiskey. I idnt really feel like trusting him. What would be the catch of me being here and they were just okay with it. Anyone knows that another wolf from an Alpha bloodline can challenge any Alpha and then take over their pack.

"Fine, then if you won't take it, then tell me ... why were you running? Do you know who you were running from?" he asked in a more serious tone. This was his Alpha coming through. I just snorked. "My whole pack git assassinated and you are seriously asking me why I am running? For goddess sakes, I would have throught that it would have been quite obvious!" I said rolling my eyes. I could hear a growl coming from him. "Then I will leave you to it!" Rowan said as he abruptly stood up and left the room, properly slamming the door shut behind him.

***

A knock on the door managed to wake me up. I sat up quickly, ready to defend myself. An older woman walked into the room with a warm motherly smile on her face. For some reason I felt like I could trust her, but I didn't know her. "Oh, I see you are awake. How are you feeling, dear?" she asked me. I just slowly nodded my head. "I guess I feel okay, I feel a little bit groggy but I am sure that it would pass" I said. She smiled and nodded her head before placing a tray next to me on the bedside table. "Some tea?" she asked, although I think she actually told me since she was already pouring it. I smiled as she gave me the cup before pouring one for her and sitting down on the bed.

"Now, I guess you are wondering why I have brought you here?" she asked, taking a sip of her tea. Confidence radiated from her in a way I only saw it happen once, my mother radiated confidence like her. "I would really like to know. The Alpha was here earlier" I said, trying to choose my words wisely. Goddess knows what would happen to me if I managed to offend him in a way. I was sure that Rowan was more than capable of ripping my head off or something. Yikes!

"Ah, Rowan ... he can be a bit of a grump when he wants to. Don't mind my son, once you get used to him, you will learn to like him" she said. Wait ... if Rowan was her son ... and she was the one who brought me in, surely it would have been at his request? "Anyway, I am Maggie. Your mother and I were close friends. We would host each other for tea each month or so. When I came across you in the woods, I immediately recognized you and I could see you were running from someone. I couldn't just leave you there" Maggie said. She knew my mother? I never really noticed my mother leave the pack. But then again, I would be out training with my father for most of the day.

"You know ... when you were born, your parents and us made a promise that our eldest son, Rowen and you, would one day get married and unite our two packs. Your mother fully supported it. I knew she valued how Rowen treated you when you were still a pup" Maggie said, trying to test the waters. I just stared at her, my mouth completely agape. An arranged marriage? To that asshole? There was no way in hell!

"Obviously, this might come as quite a shock to you, and don't worry ... I won't force you into anything, all I want for you is to be safe and recover here with us" Maggie said. For some reason, I didn't trust her words, she had to have a motive for taking me in just like this. I just smiled and nodded my head. "I guess I have a lot of things to think over" I said with a smile just as there was a knock on the door. Maggie turned around and to my disgust, Rowan was standing there in front of me. "Mother" he said with a curt nod. Maggie just rolled her eyes at him before getting up and leaving the room.

A few days have managed to pass, and surprisingly enough, will all of my sarcastic comments toward Rowan, he hasn't yet thrown me out on my ass. I was walking in the gardens, taking in the beautiful scenery. I had to at least give this to him, his gardens were like something I have never seen. I walked passed a gazebo and I heard Maggie call out to me. Ever since I came here, she has been the most supportive and I have come to start to trust her. I smiled as I walked over to her. She was sitting in the shade having her afternoon tea. I took a seat next to her as she poured another cup. I could see that something was clearly bothering her, but I didn't know how to ask.

"Are you alright? You seem a bit down today?" I asked before I could even filter it. Maggie just smiled at me sadly and placed her hand on top of mine. Just as she was about to speak, we saw Rowan walking past of with some girl hanging on his arm. She just gave me a snide look for some reason. I looked back at Maggie with a confused look on my face. Maggie just sighed and shook her head. "That is what's wrong" she said. I was still unsure of how that could be wrong, I mean ... her son had a girlfriend, that was supposed to be good news to any mother.

"I'm not sure I'm following?" I said. Maggie sat back in her chair. "With that one, I wont be able to gave any grandchildren, and this pack would not have a next in line blood Alpha. You might not know this, but in our pack, the only way our Alphas are able to produce children, is that they have to mate with another Alpha. And she ... well lets just say she is more than welcome to be disposed off with the trash!" Maggie said with a scowl on her face. I couldn't help but giggle at her remark.

Maggie also started laughing as soon as I did. We sat there giggling like we were school children. "That is also the reason why I want you to stay here as long as possible, hopefully, Rowan would come to his senses and realize that you are the one he should be looking at and not at her." Maggie said. Wait ... what? Was that the only reason that I was still here?

"I wont ask you ... because I know that it would completely unreasonable. But, I must say that my wish is for the two of you to mate. I want the lineage of this Alpha bloodline to continue. And besides, you don't have to marry him or something. I heard that co-parenting is a thing nowadays" Maggie said. I knew she said she didn't want to ask me, but I knew that it was expected of me. If Rowan's parents and my parents had this planned years ago when I was born, then this was supposed to happen all along. I just nodded my head.

"Fine, I will help you ... it is the least I could do for my parents. But ... I'm going to have to need time" I said to Maggie. I could see she was relieved the moment those words came out of my mouth. "Believe me, time won't be a problem. Rowan already told me you were driving him crazy on the inside for some reason. Something tells me that his wolf is pining for you" Maggie said, making my mouth hang open in pure shock.

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.

"Carroll Brown is dead! But you have to marry him in your sister's name." My mother said to me in a cold tone. My sister was engaged to the hottest billionaire. It should have been a perfect marriage. Unexpectedly, Carroll was dead in an accident. My sister didn't want to become a widow, so she forced me to marry her dead fiance. And I had no right to refuse her. Actually, I was the biological daughter of the Smith family. My sister was an adoptive one. My sister and I had been swapped at the hospital when we were just born. My parents had already had a deep relationship with her. So they chose to sacrifice me. On the wedding day, I was taken to the mourning hall. "Ma'am, please keep Master company and let him feel warm." The housekeeper said with a cold expression. I couldn't help but look up at the portrait above the coffin, and my heart skipped a beat at this glance. The man in the portrait was more handsome than the superstars in Hollywood. Carroll Brown? My dead husband? Wow, he was really handsome! I didn't know how long had passed when my stomach began to rebel. After one glance at the coffin, I swallowed my saliva and then begged with my fingers crossed. "Mr. Carroll, I'm starving! May I eat your pastries? You don't mind, do you?" "I do." "Ah!" Scared, I broke out in a cold sweat. My legs went limp, and I fell to the ground. I shouted, "Ghost!" Carroll curled his lips, leaned over, and touched the black coffin. "Mr. Carroll has risen from the dead. What do you think of this headline tomorrow?"

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...
