A queridinha de infância do meu marido, a doce e intocável Carla, sofreu queimaduras com água fervente. E, como castigo pelo que ele acreditava que eu tinha feito... Ele me trancou viva dentro de uma câmara de vapor, pequena demais pra eu sequer me mexer. Aumentou o fogo ao máximo. — A dor que a Carla sentiu, você vai sentir mil vezes pior! — Ele gritou, com os olhos cheios de ódio. Presa naquele espaço sufocante, o ar ficou pesado, quase impossível de respirar. O calor queimava por dentro, como se estivesse me cozinhando viva. Eu chorava, implorava por piedade: — Eu vou morrer! Por favor, me tira daqui! Mas ele... Ele apenas segurou Carla nos braços e saiu sem olhar pra trás. — Fica tranquila. Você não vai morrer... Mas só assim vai entender o que ela passou. Meus gritos de desespero ecoavam abafados dentro da câmara. A água borbulhava sob meus pés, lançando respingos ferventes contra minha pele. A dor era insuportável. Minha voz foi sumindo... Engolida pelo calor. Enquanto isso, ele curtia uma viagem internacional com Carla, sorrindo como se nada tivesse acontecido. Uma semana depois, ao voltar, lembrou de mim como quem se lembra de uma encomenda esquecida: — Aquela vagabunda já deve ter aprendido a lição. Podem soltá-la. O que ele não sabia... É que dentro daquela câmara abafada, onde a água já tinha secado e o vapor cessado, o que restava de mim... Já estava sendo devorado por vermes.

—Vete —ordené, orgullosa de que mi voz no sonara ni la mitad de temblorosa de lo que me sentía por dentro. —¿Eso es lo que realmente quieres, Keera? —preguntó en un susurro. Antes de que pudiera responder, tomó mi mano y la levantó lentamente, llevando mis dedos hasta su nariz. Los mismos dedos que habían estado dentro de mí hacía apenas unos minutos. Mi corazón golpeó con fuerza en mi pecho. No apartó los ojos de los míos mientras inhalaba el aroma de mi deseo, y luego llevó mis dedos a su boca, pasando su lengua por ellos y lamiéndolos con lentitud hasta dejarlos limpios. ⸻ Keera No deberían existir. Era imposible. Eran errores de la naturaleza. Eso fue lo primero que pensé de los hombres lobo. Y durante años creí tener razón, porque todos los que conocí no hicieron más que herirme. Especialmente él. Me sentí atraída hacia él desde el primer momento en que lo vi. Antes de darme cuenta de que me odiaba. No quería admitirlo, pero él fue quien reforzó mi odio hacia los hombres lobo. No tenía ninguna obligación de ayudarlos. Pero lo hice. Y vi cómo mi vida se desmoronaba. Crucé cada límite que alguna vez me impuse al involucrarme con él, hasta descubrir que era mi pareja destinada. ⸻ Grayson La odiaba antes incluso de conocerla en persona. Nuestra relación era prohibida. Los hombres lobo no podían emparejarse con humanos. Ni siquiera creía que fuera una posibilidad. Pero eso fue antes de ella. Descubrí que era mi alma gemela. Y en ese momento supe que no podía dejarla ir. No me importaba renunciar al título de Alfa si eso significaba estar con ella. Porque, le gustara o no, ella sentía lo mismo por mí.

"What the fuck, Kamila?" he snapped. "Why the hell did you send these divorce papers?" Kamila sighed, "Can't you read, Mr. Cadet? It's a simple instruction. Sign them." ** On the day Kamila tragically loses her unborn child, it's the final straw. She's done being her husband Mark's doormat, enduring his constant infidelity and public humiliation. This time, she's fighting back. What Mark didn't know, however, was that his wife was no poor helpless orphan. Kamila was actually a hidden heiress to the powerful Smithson family - a secret weapon she was about to unleash. Mark launches his campaign to run for governor, but Kamila decides to run against him! She’s also got her loyal Smithson brothers backing her up, and she's ready to take her sweet revenge on that cheating husband of hers.

"He thinks he can get me now that he has money?! Absolutely not! He's a manipulator, narcissist, and an ex-convict! I will never beg him like before!” I hissed as I looked at Alpha Archer, who was playing dolls with my child, Rosie. He looked up at me and flashed a devilish grin. “I can hear your thoughts, baby.” *** Katrina's life was destined for perfection, poised to become the next Luna of the Hawthorn Pack. She believed her fated mate would be her long-term boyfriend and the future Alpha, Damien. But when she meets Archer Ellington, a lowly omega in her pack, her world is turned upside down by the cruel twist of fate. Archer, manipulated and cornered, takes the fall for a murder Damien was involved in. Imprisoned under Damien's identity, he serves his time and vows revenge on those who framed him. Katrina abandons her job and family to start anew in a small pack after a tragedy that happens when Archer gets out of prison. Years later after hiding, she meets Archer again in the New Moon Pack. He looks powerful and wealthy now. What will she do when she finds out that her mate is the Alpha of the pack? Will she take him back or make his life a living hell?

I walked into that pack with one goal, catch a killer. Not fall for the one man I swore I’d never see again. Grayson. Alpha. Arrogant. Dangerous. The same man who hated me for years… and now looks at me like I belong to him. The second our eyes meet, something inside me ignites. The mate bond. A cruel, twisted joke from the universe. Because he’s a werewolf, I’m human, and this kind of bond is forbidden. But when he’s close, logic burns away. His scent seeps under my skin. His touch makes it impossible to breathe. And the way he growls my name… it’s a sin I crave more than air. We’re supposed to be enemies. Instead, we’re tangled in a fire that could ruin us both. The pack is dying. A killer lurks in the shadows. And the Alpha I hate might be the only one who can save me… or destroy me completely. I came to stop a monster. I didn’t expect to fall for one.
