Auroraaa

On her 18th birthday, Adeline was supposed to shift into her wolf and be claimed by the Alpha she loved. Instead, he threw her into the cursed forest to die.

A masked stranger saved her but before vanishing, he made a vicious promise: “I’ll haunt you forever.”

Soon, when she was dragged back by the Alpha, Adeline hoped for his  love. What she got was humiliation, betrayal, and him parading his mistress all over her shattered heart. 

When he schemed with his mistress to let his subordinates enjoy her body, Adeline faked her death and vanished. 

Now hidden among humans, Adeline enrolls at an elite academy, hoping for peace... and a normal life. 

But soon she hears rumors: The Alpha has gone feral, tearing through packs to find her.  
And the masked man? She realizes that he is still watching her. 

That's fine... That's fine... As long as they don't find her, all will be good—

"Have you seen the new students? They are sinfully gorgeous!" the students howl when two new ‘students’ join the academy. 
Adeline winces. She wants to scream that they were only the first part: SINFUL. 

While she is dreading their presence in the academy, Adeline stumbles onto a secret. The Academy is not normal at all. And neither is she.  

As old magic stirs and secrets unravel, Adeline must join hands with the men she ran from. But this time, she refuses to be their prey.

"What—What did you say?" Drystan flinches as if the mere thought of it is inconceivable to him. 

Before I can utter another word, a strong arm wraps around my waist, "Missed me, Little wolf?" Warm lips trail greedy kisses down my neck, right in front of Drystan. 

I shove the masked man away from me, "Miss you? You hid your identity from me. You manipulated me... you used me... Now, I am done with you both. This time, I will have a normal life and a normal boyfriend." 

"DON'T YOU DARE!" 

I hear both the men scream yet my footsteps do not falter as I walk away from them.

The Alphas' Secret Addiction

My heart jumps. He brought me back?

I try to sit up, but my ribs protest. Pain shoots through my spine, yet it's nothing compared to the fragile hope trembling in my chest.

He came for me yesterday. He didn't leave me to die.

I swing my legs over the side of the bed, ignoring the sting, and pull the blanket tighter around my shoulders.

His jacket still rests on the chair, discarded carelessly like he always does. There's a barely drunk glass of wine on the side table.

A smile dares to bloom on my lips.

Determination blooms in my chest. I want to tell him everything I haven't said to another soul. How Dad used to treat me, what his orders were, what he threatened me with…

Even if he doesn't believe me, I just want to try.

My feet pads against the cold floor as I stand but I have barely taken a step when—
