Bet On You

S. September

Max lives for the thrill of the chase, all charm, confidence, and a grin that usually gets him exactly what he wants. So when a reckless bet dares him to win a girl’s heart, he jumps in without a second thought. Easy, right? Until he meets her. She is grounded, sharp, and completely unimpressed by his usual tricks. Suddenly, the game feels different. What starts as playful pursuit shifts into stolen moments, real laughter, and feelings Max doesn’t quite know how to handle. The lines blur fast, and the stakes rise even faster. Because this time, it is not just about winning. It is about what happens when the truth comes knocking at the worst possible moment.

His bright eyes stared into my soul, and I felt like lightning had struck.

I knew at once what this meant. Who he was to me.

'Oh, fuck,' I thought. 'This isn't good.'

Centuries before the events of 'Taken By The Alpha,' Artemis Thorne has finally united the Wolfborn in a bloody war. Only the Borderlands Pack still challenges her crown. But what happens when she discovers that her mate is none other than the Borderlands' next alpha?
