Um die drei wichtigsten Männer in meinem Leben zu retten, hatte ich einen Handel mit der Mondgöttin geschlossen. Mein Leben im Tausch gegen ihre drei. Wenn ich es schaffen würde, dass auch nur einer von ihnen mich innerhalb von fünf Jahren wahrhaftig liebte, dürfte ich weiterleben. Doch als der letzte Tag der Frist kam, hegten alle drei immer noch nichts als Ablehnung für mich. Den Regeln zufolge war ich gescheitert. Ich würde sterben müssen. „Mondgöttin, darf ich noch eine letzte Nachricht senden? Einen allerletzten Versuch?“ Vielleicht aus Mitleid gewährte sie mir diesen letzten Versuch. Diese Nachricht war meine letzte Chance. Ich drückte die Sprachnachricht-Taste in unserer WhatsApp-Gruppe und kämpfte darum, meine Stimme ruhig zu halten. „Könntet ihr mich vielleicht ein kleines bisschen lieben? Ich werde wirklich sterben.“ Nach einem Moment der Stille kam ihr gnadenloses Gelächter. „Du tust echt alles, um mit Lidia um Aufmerksamkeit zu konkurrieren, oder?“ „Hör auf zu lügen. Dadurch hassen wir dich nur noch mehr.“ „Wenn du so unbedingt sterben willst, dann mach es halt.“ Mission gescheitert. Ich gab ihnen genau das, was sie wollten. Doch als ich kurz davor war zu sterben, drehten sie alle durch.

He pressed our hands together, mixing our blood as he spoke the words that sealed my fate. “I, Alpha Kayden Maxwell of the Blood Moon pack, reject Leah James as my mate.” The words hit me like a punch to the chest, knocking the air from my lungs. The pain that followed was unbearable, like my soul was being torn in two. I gasped and clutched my chest as the bond between us snapped. “I… I, Leah James, accept your rejection.” Kayden turned away from me as if I was nothing more than a nuisance. “Now that that’s done, I have another announcement. Selena will be my mate. She has all the qualities of a future Luna.” The crowd erupted into cheers. Their approval for Selena was loud and clear. I watched as she stepped forward. She leaned into Kayden as if to mark her territory. The sight of them together made my stomach turn. ********************************* Leah’s world shatters when her fated mate, Alpha Kayden, rejects her for another. Heartbroken, she discovers that she is not just an ordinary wolf. In fact, she is the last heir to a powerful bloodline. As dark forces rise and her hidden powers awaken, Leah must face the truth about her past and the dangerous future ahead. With a prophecy threatening to destroy everything, Leah is forced to choose between love and power. Can she and Kayden stop the coming storm or will her destiny tear them apart forever?

Ava Lynn, a 17 year old Vampire, meets Rob Maxwell, an 18 year old werewolf. Ava Lynn and Rob Maxwell's love is forbidden, they're hardest to stay away from each other, but after a day without each other they wind up back in each other'sarms. His pack doesn't approve.

To save his childhood sweetheart suffering from a congenital heart condition, my mate Ethan—the storm pack’s Alpha—forced me to remove my heart to be given to his beloved. "Don't worry, you are the rarest white wolf with the strongest healing ability. I have prepared an artificial heart for you, and you will be fine." Ethan said. I tried to explain to my mate Ethan that my healing ability has become very poor in the past year, so that transplanting my heart would kill me. My mate snarled at me with disgust, "Selene is so gravely ill, and here you are, jealous and fighting for attention! She saved my life when I was suffering from silver poisoning a year ago! You won't die anyway, so why can't you help her?" Under the mandatory order of my mate, I was sent to the pack healer for the heart transplant. He didn’t know that I was the one who had exchanged my rare white wolf's healing ability with a witch to save him from silver poisoning. In the end, with my healing abilities gone, I died miserably in a forgotten corner of the empty healer's cabin.

The day my daughter Aria was discharged from the hospital, my Alpha mate Marcus returned from his two-week business trip with his Omega secretary Vivian. My daughter was hospitalized due to nut allergy, but she gave Aria nut chocolate as a gift. I suppressed my anger and refused, but Marcus frowned and scolded me:"Serena, Vivian meant well. She didn't know about the allergy." After sending Vivian away, Marcus sent me and my daughter countless expensive gifts to compensate, which I silently accepted. Marcus breathed a sigh of relief, thinking I would continue to play the role of his obedient Luna. But when he learned that I, who was 3 months pregnant, had gone alone to the Alpha Council and submitted a mate bond dissolution application, the powerful Alpha broke down and begged me to come back.

I was a stray pup. At five years old, several elite warriors captured me and threw me in front of the Alpha heir, Lucas. I heard his wolf talking to Lucas in his mind. "Lucas, this damn little thing is a hybrid of a werewolf and an evil witch. The prophecy shows she will be extremely vicious in the future, even killing your Mate. For the Moon Goddess, you must kill her now to protect your future Luna." Lucas agreed carelessly. But when he saw me, he froze. "Seriously? Dude, you’re saying this tiny thing is a homicidal maniac? How vicious can she be? Cursing the future Luna with a lollipop?" I tugged the corner of Lucas's expensive shirt, and looked up. "Big brother, I'm so hungry." He looked at my body, starved to just bones, and hesitated. "Anyway, the mate hasn't appeared yet. Might as well let her eat first. Even when we execute rogues, we usually let them eat their fill before killing them." His wolf replied, "Makes sense... but after she's full, you can't hesitate again!" From that day on, he raised me, this mixed-race brat, like a little sister in his pack. For over a decade, he and his wolf plotted countless times how to kill me, but always found various excuses to postpone the execution. Until I was 16, my brother was injured and lying in the healing center, but his wolf, having lost its will to live after being rejected by its mate, was unable to heal itself. The healer said my brother was going to die. I didn't try to stop him; I just found that playboy from school who had harassed me. I forced him to send my brother a mind link. "Alpha, I just wanted to say, Emma's body is really... really banging. I'll take good... care of her for you." I even chimed in through the mind link with a flirtatious whine. "Jason, don't be like that, Lucas will get mad... stop it." Less than half a second later. An earth-shattering roar came. "Son of a bitch! Jason, get the fuck away from her!" "If you touch a single finger on her, I'll tear you to shreds!"

"Bu Santi Tania, apa Anda yakin ingin mengakhiri pernikahan dua puluh tahun ini dan menyerahkan hak asuh anak?" "Ya. Ajukan saja permohonan perceraian. Saya sudah memutuskan," ucap aku dengan tenang melalui telepon sambil menggosok noda minyak di meja dapur granit. Selama dua puluh tahun, aku telah menyerahkan seluruh hidup aku untuk keluarga ini. Aku mengurus segala urusan rumah tangga, memastikan pendidikan anak-anak berjalan dengan baik, dan selalu berada di sisi suami aku, mendukungnya hingga ia berhasil naik ke puncak karier di sebuah konglomerat besar tanpa ada sedikit pun keluhan. Tapi suami aku, Arif Winata, malah membawa adik perempuan angkatnya, Chintya Winata, ke dalam sebuah wawancara media, lalu berkata dengan lantang, "Kesuksesan saya hari ini semua berkat bantuan saudara angkat saya." Bahkan anak-anak aku sendiri pun merendahkan aku. Mereka menyebut aku sekadar ibu rumah tangga yang biasa saja dan kasar. Mereka pun lebih memilih berpihak pada “Bibi” Chintya, wanita yang selalu ada di rumah itu, seolah-olah dia adalah nyonya rumah yang sesungguhnya. Jadi aku menandatangani surat perceraian dan pergi meninggalkan mereka, membiarkan mereka menjadi "keluarga yang sempurna" seperti mereka inginkan. Namun, sejak kepergian aku itulah, keluarga itu mulai panik ….

Minha irmã adotiva, Sophia, a última loba branca puro-sangue da vila Grell, foi violentada e torturada até a morte por um lobo rebelde desconhecido. A carta de suicídio dela continha apenas uma frase: “Lina viu o rosto dele.” A partir daquele dia, me tornei a maior pecadora da alcateia. Porque eu sabia quem era o assassino, mas permaneci calada por cinco anos. Até que meu irmão adotivo Damien, o Alfa mais poderoso da América do Norte, retornou. Ele trouxe de volta o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma e arrancou à força as memórias da minha alma de loba. Todos os lobisomens que tiveram o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma usado neles morreram ou enlouqueceram. Minha loba foi torturada repetidamente dentro do dispositivo, mas Damien reprimiu a dor nos olhos e rugiu: — Quando eu descobrir a verdade, vou mandar você e o assassino para o inferno juntos. Mas quando finalmente descobriram a verdade, Damien enlouqueceu.

The enemies of my adopted sister's parents mistook me for her and kidnapped me. Before the rogues killed me, they gave me three phone calls for help. If anyone was willing to give me three hundred dollars, I could live. For the first call, I dialed my father. Father didn't listen to a word I said. He immediately unleashed a torrent of curses. "Where the hell are you? Get your ass back home right now for your sister's birthday!" For the second call, I dialed my brother. My brother listened silently to my plea for help, then hung up with a cold snort. "You're never around when the pack needs you. Who's going to fall for this act now?" For the third call, I dialed my fiancé. He didn't even answer. When I called again, I'd been blocked. The rogue wolf laughed at me. "Looks like being the eldest daughter of the Ashwood family doesn't mean much, does it?" After he tortured me to death, he stuffed my body into a suitcase and threw it in the river.

Uma semana antes da nossa cerimônia de marcação, eu disse a Ethan Stormwind que queria terminar com ele durante a festa de um amigo dele. Todos riram. Todos sabiam que, nos últimos seis anos, o objetivo da minha vida tinha sido me tornar a sua marcada Luna. Faltando apenas uma semana para a cerimônia, como eu poderia querer terminar? Até Ethan achou que eu estava sendo irracional. — Só porque eu preciso levar Selene ao curandeiro para o retorno no dia da nossa cerimônia, você está fazendo birra querendo terminar? — Nós dois somos adultos. Dá para agir com mais maturidade? Você pode simplesmente remarcar a cerimônia. Por que insiste exatamente nesse dia? Eu não tenho tempo para seus joguinhos de ciúme. Eu apenas assenti em silêncio. Sim, algo precisava mudar. Mas não era a data da cerimônia. Era ele. Eu iria aceitar a marca de outra pessoa.
