LOGINEmberleigh, a 21-year-old woman, became an outcast when her parents were killed by the most powerful wolf pack when she was thirteen. She is a human and her mate, Maximus, is an Alpha with a large pack. He arrives with his three best friends three weeks before he and his chosen mate, Tiffany, are due to be mated. Emberleigh is pure, even though she works as a dancer at a local club and is one of the most popular dancers there. When he sees her, he feels the mate bond pull. Feeling rage and jealousy of other men watching, he orders a private dance for himself. She is wary of the wolves and despises them. She believes that the wolf pack, which happens to be Maximus', is the reason she has been orphaned. He must win her trust, her heart, and end the ceremony with Tiffany. Tiffany, heartbroken and enraged, seeks revenge against the human who replaced her as the pack's Luna. In order to tarnish Emberleigh's reputation, she is resorting to hiring external sources outside the pack. When she is left for dead in the middle of the forest, Maximus arrives just in time, finding Emberleigh unconscious and injured. With a mixture of fear and desperation, he carries her back to his pack's territory, vowing to protect her at all costs. As Emberleigh slowly regains consciousness, she finds herself torn between her lingering distrust for wolves and the undeniable connection she feels towards Maximus, who is determined to prove his love and loyalty to her.

Prólogo Mis manos tiemblan incesantemente. Se casa; mi sultán se casa con su kuma. La hará su segunda esposa. Para herirme es capaz de todo: reconocerá públicamente a su bebé y yo… yo quedaré en el olvido. No puedo soportarlo; haga lo que haga, nunca me ganaré su corazón. El suelo bajo mis pies parece tambalearse. Los murmullos alegres de los invitados en el gran salón, celebrando el compromiso de mi sultán y su «gran amor», son como dagas en mi corazón. Todos los apoyan, llenándolos de felicitaciones, mientras yo me sofoco. Todo me da vueltas: las risas, los brindis, el lugar… todo retumba en mi cabeza. —¿Alicha? ¿Alicha, estás bien? La voz de mi prima Alara llama mi atención. En ese momento me detengo frente a la feliz pareja, que interrumpe su plática para mirarme. Todos me miran. —Alicha, no vayas a hacer un escándalo —exclama Armando con evidente molestia. Lo miro con frialdad, inquebrantable, aunque por dentro me esté muriendo. Lo observo fijamente a los ojos, con la respiración agitada y el corazón latiendo como un tambor. —Mi querido sultán: me divorcio, me divorcio, me divorcio. Los murmullos resuenan en el salón; incluso la música se detiene de golpe. —No puede ser… acaba de declarar la ley del talaq thalatha. Armando me mira incrédulo, con esos ojos azules que son mi perdición abiertos de par en par. De repente, suelta a su amada —quien intenta detenerlo sin éxito— y se acerca a mí. —Alicha, ¿qué es lo que estás diciendo? —Querías a tu amada, tienes mi bendición. Vas a tener un heredero y yo no puedo darte ninguno. Tienes una familia con ella, la amas… entonces yo sobro en este matrimonio. Vamos a divorciarnos, Armando Málaga. Te dejo en libertad. Retrocedo sin más, intentando alejarme de él, pero me detiene con firmeza. —No acepto el divorcio. Capítulo 1. El Acuerdo. POV Alicha. —Te lo ruego, padre, concédeme esta petición… —Me arrodillo frente a él—. Te lo ruego, papá. Me enamoré de él hace mucho tiempo y me duele verlo perderlo todo. Te lo pido, permite este matrimonio; quiero que nuestra unión traiga abundancia a nuestro hogar. Sabes que él es bueno. Ayúdalos, dame tu bendición. Me quedaré arrodillada aquí, en el templo, hasta que me lo concedas. Lo quiero como mi esposo, padre. —Alicha, él no es un juguete, ni un auto, ni una casa. Además, su familia está pasando por una crisis financiera muy fuerte; tendría que hacer una inversión muy grande y ellos no tendrían nada para darte como dote. —¿Y de qué serviría el dinero? Padre, no me importa la riqueza. Quiero darle la mitad de la herencia que me dejó mi abuelo; quiero apoyarlos. Por favor, solo pido ser su esposa. Si voy a casarme, quiero que sea con él. —Alicha, no seas terca, hija. Están casi en la ruina. Fueron buenos tiempos cuando fuimos socios, pero ahora no podrán levantar la cabeza. No quiero un hombre así para ti; mereces más. Mereces a alguien como George; él sí te admira y te quiere como esposa. —No, no me gusta él. Me enamoré de Armando cuando era tan solo una niña. He soñado con el día en que se cumpliera la alianza que una vez le prometiste a su padre; dijiste que quizás nosotros, en un futuro, pudiéramos unir fuerzas. —Eso fue cuando tenían dinero, estatus y poder. Ahora están en un rango inferior al nuestro. —No, no es así. Para mí, él es mi sultán. Sabes que tiene raíces de príncipe; yo quiero ser su princesa. Siempre esperé su regreso, y ahora que ha vuelto para pedir tu apoyo, es mi oportunidad. —Alicha, hija mía… —Me acaricia la mejilla mientras las lágrimas recorren mi rostro—. Él ni siquiera se acordaba de ti. No te ama. —Dijiste que entre mamá y tú todo comenzó con una alianza. Tú musulmán, ella mitad musulmana y mitad latina… un matrimonio difícil, según dijiste, pero todo funcionó. Quizás, si volvemos a conectarnos, él y yo logremos ese amor tan bonito como el tuyo y el de mamá. Tengo veinte años, padre; tengo edad para casarme y quiero hacerlo con el hombre que amo. Dime qué debo hacer para que me des tu bendición. Me quedaré aquí tres días y tres noches, de rodillas ante Allah, hasta que aceptes. Me mira con una expresión indescifrable y los ojos llenos de tristeza. Él piensa que es un capricho, pero yo anhelo ser la esposa de Armando desde hace mucho tiempo. Quiero que sea mi sultán. —Arriba, levántate. Vamos, niña… está bien, está bien. —¡Oh, gracias, gracias, padre! —Lo beso y lo abrazo. —Espera, aún no confirmo nada ni te prometo nada. —Gracias, papá. Allah escuchó mis oraciones. Él será mi sultán y yo su sultana. ¡Ah! Tendremos muchos hijos y haré que se enamore de mí, tal como mamá hizo que tú la amaras. Seremos felices. Me alejo bailando de felicidad. Mi padre me observa desconcertado; jamás se habría imaginado que yo amaría a alguien de esa forma. Sé que conseguirá que me acepte. Esta unión será dichosa. —¡Mamá, mamá! —Corro hacia ella, tan feliz que no puedo ocultarlo. —¡Por Allah, Alicha! —Me recibe mientras yo la beso emocionada. —Mamá, ha llegado mi momento. Es mi oportunidad. Papá me ayudará a unirme a Armando. Por fin podré estar con él; lo he esperado tanto tiempo… Sabía que volvería después de graduarse. Ahora podremos estar juntos. —Alicha, cariño, calma. No te apresures. Espera a que tu padre organice todo; debes mantener la cordura. Si te rechazan, podrías sufrir mucho. —Sé que no me va a rechazar, mamá. Lo vi en su mirada, en su sorpresa al volver a verme. Sé que me aceptará. Si no se ha comprometido en todo este tiempo, es una señal. El destino nos cumplirá, ya verás. nota de autor: Holaaa mis lectoras, ya estoy de vuelta con ustedes. vamos a iniciar esta nueva aventura, ¿que les parece hasta ahora? déjenme saberlo en los comentarios. 😉 ahora si, iniciemos.I watched him disappear into the dimly lit room, his gesture leaving a trace of warmth lingering on my skin. As he stepped forward, I inhaled deeply and settled my nerves before stepping inside the bedroom with him, closing the door behind me. The soft glow of the bedside lamp illuminated the room, casting a gentle warmth over every surface. My heart raced as I crossed the threshold, anticipation and uncertainty intertwining within me.I knew that we couldn’t join as one, yet, even though I want to, more than anything. I wanted him to take me.I yearned for him to find solace nestled between my legs, completely consumed by my aura, eagerly desiring release. I craved the electrifying sensation of his lips and fingers meticulously exploring every intimate part of me, unraveling my essence.Oh, how I longed for him above all else. Nothing has ever felt so perfect. Even with my exes, I couldn't bear their touch, but I yearned for his. When he was near, every fiber of my being felt alive an
Emberleigh POVSo many people came up to congratulate Maximus and myself on him finding his fated mate. Everyone seemed so happy for us, it almost made me forget about the way Tiffany was glaring at me. She had stuck out like a sore thumb with her arms crossed and a hateful expression on her face. There was zero love on her face, just the scowl from the bitterness in her broken heart. Or so I had thought."Emberleigh, I want to introduce you to the individuals responsible for safeguarding you when I am occupied with important matters or unable to be by your side. Allow me to present Elisabeth, Justin, Marco, and Justine. Everyone, please welcome Emberleigh, my mate and your future Luna," Maximus announced. I felt myself blushing at Maximus's introduction, and my heart swelling with pride and anticipation as I extended a gracious smile to each of the individuals before me. I was very grateful for the support and protection they would offer in the days to come.They all looked at me and
The next day began with a delicious, hearty breakfast that was simply too overwhelming for me to finish. Shortly after, I had an important meeting with the Beta, Gregory, and his mate, Rachel. As soon as she saw me, Rachel warmly embraced me, brimming with excitement. With pure excitement, she eagerly told me about the approaching pack gathering and her eagerness for me to meet the rest of the group. The overwhelming sense of love and belonging filled me, assuring me that this was my rightful place. I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation building within me as Rachel spoke, her words painting a vivid picture of the close-knit pack community that awaited me. With each passing moment, my desire to meet the rest of the group grew stronger, knowing that this gathering would solidify my place among them.Leaving the dining hall, we were embraced by a refreshing breeze while the resounding chorus of voices from the crowd welcomed us, leading us towards them. As we neared the eleva
While lying in the vast bed all alone, I was surprised to realize that Maximus wasn't going to sleep with me. I listened to his gentle breathing from across the room and finally closed my eyes. The moment I shut my eyes, the persistent image of how I would look in my wolf form consumed my thoughts. I can still vividly recall the appearance of the wolves from when I was about ten years old and accompanied my family on a camping trip. I couldn't shake the curiosity about whether my wolf form would be diminutive or if I would appear as a regular-sized wolf. As I was thinking about my wolf, my thoughts soon drifted into my sleep and then led into my dreams. My dream was so very vivid. It was like I could actually smell the world around me. My wolf was running fast through the forest. The small tree branches were snapping in half as we barreled through them. As we reached a clearing, the intoxicating fragrance of the blooming wildflowers completely filled my senses. Stepping into the c
"No, you cannot stay. You have to go," I said firmly, grasping the doorknob. I struggled with it as if I somehow forgot how a doorknob worked all together. "I won't leave this room unless you leave with me," he declared."You have to go," I insisted, gazing into his mesmerizing eyes.He kissed me
Stepping into the room, I was absolutely mesmerized by Alpha Maximus, the gentleman who completely captivated me with his performance on stage.I was instantly captivated by his irresistible magnetism as he drew closer. His mere presence filled the room, surrounding me with an exhilarating storm of
I sat all my things down and walked to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of water. I took a small drink and let the coolness of the water slowly trickle down my throat. I took a few deep breaths and walked to stand in front of my mirror. I looked at myself and took another deep breath, telling mys
Lying in bed, I glanced at my bedroom window. I observed, despite the presence of my blackout curtains, that the sun still illuminated the sky. Shifting onto my side, I reached out for my cell phone on the bedside table. Enthralled, I gazed at the poignant collage I had crafted with the very last p
