Synopsis

A woman destined for glory and the goddess determined to see her fall from grace.Arachne of Hypaepa was born to be a weaver. Known as the best in all of Lydia, she leads a charmed life, full of fame and fortune. But her circumstances soon take a turn for the worse when she offends the goddess of craft with her hubris.Confident in her abilities, Arachne brazenly challenges Athena to a contest: Whoever impresses the townsfolk of Hypaepa will hold the title of best weaver among mortals and the divine. Athena agrees to the competition, and the two women go head-to-head, putting their talents to the test. When Arachne catches a glimpse of Athena’s otherworldly design—a reminder to mortals of their place—her sure-fire victory turns to crumbling ash.Angered by the slight and desperate to prove herself, Arachne devises a new plan: Defeat the goddess by weaving a scene depicting the hypocrisy of the gods in jaw-dropping detail. When the tapestries are finally revealed, it’s clear Arachne has prevailed over Athena, using not only her skill but her cunning, another attribute Athena credits to herself.Enraged by her audacity, Athena unleashes her fury on Arachne, tearing apart not only her greatest work but her unshakeable spirit. Humiliated and broken, Arachne must find a way to save all that her act of defiance has cost both her and her family.The Weaver and the Web is a retelling of the myth of Arachne, the tragic tale of a woman ensnared by pride and caught in the tangled web of a jealous goddess.This retelling contains themes that some may find distressing, including physical assault and suicidal ideation.

    "The first night I saw you I fought every emotion, every instinct and I was a fool for doing it. The moment I laid eyes on you I should have claimed you, thrown you over my shoulder and brought you up to our room to mate and mark you. You should already be wearing my mark and officially be known as the Luna of this pack but I didn't do any of that. Instead, I walked away like a fucking idiot and worst of all I hurt you when I had no right to. Every day I wish I could go back to that day and change how I reacted but I can't, and so now I have to pay for my behaviour and that means waiting until you are ready to accept me as your mate and my Luna, until you are ready to wear my mark."
     
    In Book 2, secrets about Tony’s mother, Adrian’s fate, and the rogue Alpha’s disappearance begin to unravel—revealing a truth far darker than they ever imagined. As Alpha Nicholas and Bonnie’s bond deepens, they must face not only their own fears and desires, but a growing darkness that threatens to tear them apart. Will their love be strong enough to survive, or will it be consumed by the shadows closing in around them?

    They came in and wiped out my pack, leaving me an orphan at the age of fifteen, but then Alpha Declan came in and saved me, bringing me into his own pack. I've been living with the Storm River pack for three years now, training and learning how to fight, so when the time comes, I can kill the Alpha that took my family and pack away from me.But what do you do when you start to fall for the one who saved you to begin with? The one that took you under his wing when you had nothing left? The one who kissed you first, and made you feel things that you didn't feel before? I shouldn't be with him; he isn't my mate. I've yet to scent my mate, but Declan is too delicious to pass up. He's already saved me once, but can he save me from falling for him when I know my Goddess-given mate is out there somewhere?
     
    I feel us moving and then I’m being placed on the hood of his Tesla. This puts me so my core is up against his hardness, and oh my Goddess, he feels monstrous! It’s a good thing that I’m not his mate, because I don’t think I’d be able to take it. It doesn’t stop me from rubbing against it, though, as tingles begin to form, and I moan.“That’s it, sweetheart, rub yourself against me and come for me. I want to see what you look like when you fall apart in my arms.” His command washes over me and I come instantly.
