El-Ruth

Warning: Matured Scenes 18+ A slow, dangerous smile curves his lips. “No. It will be in my bed.” His gaze drifts to my mouth, heat blazing behind his eyes. “And when it happens… I’m taking my time with you.” He leans closer, his voice a husky whisper. “God, Naomi… I’m going to take all night.” Naomi has loved her Alpha for as long as she can remember. Vincent is everything a leader should be—powerful, ruthless, and dangerously irresistible. But he’s also the one man she can never have. Her best friend. Her protector. And completely forbidden. Tradition demands that an Alpha take a noble-born Luna, and Naomi is far from it. She tells herself it’s for the best… until the line between friendship and desire shatters, and she becomes his secret mistress. But loving Vincent comes with a dangerous price. For years, Naomi has hidden a secret that could destroy everything—including the bond between them. Vincent sacrificed his heart long ago to become Alpha. Duty always came first. His pack. His legacy. His throne. So marrying for love was never part of the plan. But denying his feelings for Naomi—the woman who has always been at his side—has been the hardest battle of all. When danger closes in around her, he claims her as his mistress to keep her safe… even if it means breaking every rule he once lived by. Yet as enemies close in and the noble women meant to become his Luna begin turning up dead, Vincent is forced to make impossible choices. Choices that could save his pack… —or destroy the only woman he has ever loved.
