Above The Time

When Laila got pregnant with the child of her adoptive brother Jason—the young Alpha of her pack—she thought she might finally have a reason to claim a place in his world. But when Jason returns home with his fated mate by his side, Laila learns that she was nothing in Jason’s eyes. Expelled with nothing but heartbreak and the tiny life growing inside her, Laila disappears into the human world, determined to protect her child in her own way. Six years later, Laila—now Vanessa Harper—is no longer the fragile, wolfless girl. She’s powerful, respected, and completely looks like a different person. She believed she could live her new life with her daughter Ava peacefully without seeing Jason ever again, until fate forces her back into Jason’s life. Old lies, pack politics, and the truth about her daughter all collide— and this time, Jason won’t let her walk away easily.

“As within, so without, as above, so below, as the universe, so the soul.” - Hermes Trismegistus. This philosophical perspective outlines the idea that who we are on the inside will be created in the world around us.

Once Damon and Misha find one another, a threat emerges that could alter their fate. Learn how Damon and Misha evolved to deliver a Christmas in Hell that no one would ever forget.

Before the pack's Winter Solstice festival, I was given a Moonwater Mirror, forged from the waters of the Moon Goddess Spring. But the face staring back at me wasn't my own. It was my face, but younger. The girl I was eight years ago. Her eyes were bright with a joy I hadn't felt in years. When she realized I was from her future, she practically vibrated with excitement. "Our fated mate, Alpha Owen, he confessed today! He's going to plant moonflowers around the lake cabin. He'll stay with me for every full moon. He promised to make me his one and only Luna forever!" Her voice was full of hope for the future. Her joy was a bitter reminder of what I'd lost. I listened quietly, only managing a faint smile. My reaction must have given me away. Her excited chatter died. Her gaze drifted over my shoulder, taking in the cold, empty penthouse behind me. "Wait... where's Owen?" Her smile faltered. "We're happy, right? After eight years?" I didn't say a word. I just slowly, deliberately, turned the Moonwater Mirror toward the terrace. There, my Alpha mate, Owen, had another she-wolf pinned to the railing. Their mouths were fused, their breaths mingling in the cold night air.

Three months into the silent treatment from my Alpha mate, Samson Holt, he holds a grand ceremony befitting of a Luna for the return of his beloved Leia Harton. Because of this, I—the real Luna—am now the laughing stock of the entire pack. "Sharon's just an orphan wolf with no real lineage. How could someone like her be our Luna?" "Exactly! Leia's the one who truly deserves to stand beside the Alpha." Ignoring them, I take up a silver blade and slash it hard across my throat. They never knew that I wasn't truly one of them. I wasn't a wolf at all, but a human from another world. And the Moon Goddess just told me that if I die in this world, I can finally go home and reunite with my family.

The day I was supposed to win the biggest award of my career, I walked in on my boyfriend, Ethan, in bed with another woman. He sneered, calling me a face-blind, scent-deaf bore in bed. I planned to expose his ass at the award ceremony. Instead, he and his lover mowed me down with their car. Next thing I knew, I woke up with them in an S-class horror survival game. Mortality rate: over 95%. We had to survive ten days in a haunted manor to be revived. Hit 100 on your Anxiety Level, and your soul is obliterated. Chloe, Ethan's lover, sneered. "Sensory defects? You can't recognize ghosts or smell danger. In a horror game, that’s a death sentence. You might as well just die." The others heard her and scrambled to team up. Me? I walked straight into the lair of the manor's final boss. The most powerful demon in the game wanted to devour my soul. I couldn't really see him. I just thought he was a cosplayer. I lunged forward, poked his abs, and pointed at the glowing crack in his chest. "Wow, you're really committed to the role. This getup must've cost a fortune."

Le jour d'Union, Avery a surpris son petit ami Ryan en train de la tromper avec Zara, sa demi-sœur, sous ses yeux, alors que c'était le jour où Ryan devait la choisir comme compagne choisie.

Son père l'a menacée de mort si elle ne trouvait pas un mari prêt à l'accepter malgré tout.

Until her ninth birthday, Iris lived a charmed life—until the Tyrant Zavan shattered it. She watched in horror as his Lycan forces slaughtered her entire pack.

Pendant longtemps, j'ai été la fille parfaite aux yeux de mon père. Celle qui a accepté d'épouser l'Alpha Alexander pour préserver les intérêts de ma meute natale, même s'il refusait de me marquer et répétait que notre mariage n'était rien de plus qu'un contrat. Puis, je suis devenue la Luna parfaite pour mon Alpha. Au fond de moi, j'espérais encore, naïvement, qu'un jour je finirais par gagner son affection, et que nous deviendrions enfin de véritables mari et femme. Tout a basculé le jour où l'on m'a annoncé que ma louve était entrée en dormance. Le médecin m'a prévenue sans détour : dans l'année, Alexander devait me marquer ou me rejeter. Sinon, je mourrais. Pourtant, ni mon mari ni mon père ne se sont souciés de m'aider. C'est dans ce désespoir que j'ai pris une décision. J'ai cessé d'être la fille docile qu'ils voulaient que je sois. Très vite, tout le monde s'est mis à me traiter de folle. Parfait. C'était exactement ce que je voulais : être rejetée, être libre, mettre fin à ce mariage. Ce que je n'avais pas prévu, en revanche, c'est que mon mari, autrefois arrogant, finirait un jour par me supplier de ne pas partir...
