Amber J Liu

After ten years of being mated, I discovered my aloof Alpha mate had been keeping a sunshine-like Omega lover. That Omega could bring warmth and light to everyone she meets. My Alpha mate, Dominic, who had spent his childhood in the doldrums, was easily attracted by that kind of pure warmth. That very night, I presented him with a mate bond severance agreement. Dominic sneered coldly as he tore up the agreement, throwing a psychiatric evaluation at me instead. "Sign this. Admit you have delusional disorder, and I'll send you to the best mental hospital to live out your days. I know all about your dirty little tricks. I won't give you any chance to hurt her." So, all these years… every little thing I’d done to protect him? To him, it was just despicable scheming. I refused to sign. Dominic had me bound and tortured with silver powder, watching coldly as I convulsed in agony. He even had our two five-year-old pups hung from the bow of massive ships about to collide. "Either sign, or watch them get crushed to pulp. Your call." I dropped to my knees on the deck, banging my head against the wood like a madwoman, begging him to let me sign. But it was too late—I watched helplessly as my pups' small bodies got torn apart by metal shrapnel. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I discovered he was keeping that girl. I decided never to love him again. But after I left him, Dominic suddenly went mad searching for me everywhere.

À la veille de notre cinquième anniversaire d'union, je m'apprêtais à lui annoncer mon héritage : la meute de mon père Alpha. C'était alors que je les ai surpris, lui et la louve qui jadis m'avait tant humiliée, échangeant un baiser passionné. « Cinq ans à jouer cette comédie, il est temps d'y mettre fin. » « La voir accourir comme un chien obéissant était si ennuyeux. Quelle idiote... Se laisser berner par un faux certificat d'union ! Croire qu'une orpheline pourrait devenir la Luna de la Meute de l'Ombre Lunaire ? Si elle n'avait pas eu un minois acceptable, je n'aurais même pas daigné jouer ce rôle. » Chaque mot m'a transpercée comme une lame de glace. Un tremblement incontrôlable m'a parcouru l'échine. Cette lumière dont je croyais avoir été sauvée des ténèbres du harcèlement... n'était qu'un leurre perfide, un mirage d'infidélité... Dans ce cas, je rejetterais sans regret cette comédie mensongère !

Trahie et tuée deux fois par le même homme, Miranda est tombée amoureuse de la mauvaise personne : l’Alpha Lorenzo. Au début, il était doux et attentionné, et elle croyait qu’il était son âme sœur, l’amour de sa vie. Mais en réalité, elle s’était offerte au diable. Il s’est servi d’elle, l’a brisée et trahie. À chaque vie, elle l’aimait de tout son cœur, mais lui, il la tuait sans aucune pitié. Mais cette fois, c’est fini. La déesse de la lune lui a offert une seconde chance, et elle est revenue pour s’assurer que l’Alpha Lorenzo regrette d’être né.

I was a she-wolf in heat. During this cycle, I needed release multiple times a day, or the ache became unbearable. Every morning, I woke up soaking wet, my panties clinging to my slick entrance. Even the slightest movement made the emptiness feel maddening. My Alpha mate, Ethan, was supposed to be home taking care of my needs, but he’d been away on pack business for over two weeks. After patrolling the territory, I couldn't suppress the urge any longer. Panting heavily, I ducked behind a secluded thicket and began to touch myself. Just then, a rough, large hand grabbed my ass from behind, squeezing hard. A shiver ran through my entire body. I intended to snap at the intruder, ready to tell him to fuck off, but when I turned around, my face burned with a blush. It was Liam—Ethan's brother who had just arrived at the pack. He was a tall, handsome Alpha with rock-hard muscles and eyes burning with lust. He hadn't recognized me; he thought I was just some random she-wolf in heat and continued to grope me shamelessly. "Let's see who we have here," Liam murmured, his voice low and teasing. "Just a little she-wolf in heat, acting like a bitch in need." His Alpha pheromones enveloped me, driving my inner wolf wild with the heat. My slick coated my thighs as the wetness increased. My muscles tensed, and my nipples hardened to the point of pain, aching to be pinched by him. Embarrassment warred with desire. I knew this was wrong—he was my mate's brother. What if Ethan found out? But my body wouldn't listen. My hips rocked back and forth of their own accord, chasing the pressure of his fingers. But just then, my phone buzzed. It was Ethan……

My Alpha brother's Omega assistant had always wanted to be Luna. She didn’t know my identity and she mistook me as a rival trying to steal her place. She framed me for theft and tortured me without mercy. As I lay dying, it was my old companion—Rex, the Siberian war dog who had fought beside my brother and earned the highest military honors—who sacrificed his life to protect me. She dragged me by my hair, smugly satisfied, and threw me before the crowd like refuse. In her hands, she flaunted her "gift" made from Rex's fur. She had no idea she was about to face the fury of the entire werewolf world.

To help my "destitute" husband pay off his debts, I scavenged for scraps for five years. My son and I survived on expired canned food. That changed on my son's birthday. I saw him in a bespoke suit, spending millions to celebrate the birthday of the woman he truly loved. That was the moment I realized he was actually the most powerful billionaire on Wall Street. To please the love of his life, he let our child be injected with unknown drugs, leaving him on the brink of death. He even forced me to drain my own blood to save her son. Later, I became someone he could no longer reach. I linked arms with a man far more powerful than him and walked away. That once arrogant man ended up kneeling in the Arctic snow, clutching a photo I had burned, weeping like a stray dog.

Mi hermana adoptiva, Sophia, la última loba blanca de raza pura de la manada Grell, fue violada y torturada hasta la muerte por un lobo renegado desconocido. Su nota de suicidio contenía solo una frase: [Lina vio su rostro.] A partir de ese día, me convertí en la mayor pecadora de la manada. Porque yo sabía quién era el asesino, pero guardé silencio durante cinco años. Hasta que mi hermano adoptivo, Damien, el Alfa más poderoso de Norteamérica, regresó. Trajo consigo el Dispositivo de Visión del Alma y extrajo a la fuerza recuerdos de mi alma de loba. Todos los hombres lobo a los que se les había aplicado el Dispositivo de Visión del Alma murieron o se volvieron locos. Mi loba fue torturada repetidamente en el dispositivo, pero Damien reprimió el dolor en sus ojos y rugió: —Cuando encuentre la verdad, te enviaré a ti y al asesino al infierno juntos. Pero cuando finalmente descubrieron la verdad, Damien enloqueció.

Nachdem meine Eltern gestorben waren, wurde ich völlig unerwartet vom Alpha und der Luna adoptiert – und war damit der einzige Mensch im Rudelgebiet der Werwölfe. Zwanzig Jahre lang überschütteten mich ihre Zwillings-Nachfolger, die künftigen Alphas, mit Zuneigung. Ihr Werben und ihre Bevorzugung machten alle rasend vor Neid. Doch als ich mir einen von ihnen als Gefährten wählen wollte, wiesen mich beide als Gefährtin zurück. Kane sagte: „Ich will mich zuerst darauf konzentrieren, unser Rudelgebiet zu erweitern. Ich will noch nicht so früh eine Gefährtin finden.“ Liam sagte: „Menschen können Alpha-Blut nicht ertragen.“ Am nächsten Tag, bei meinem Geburtstagsbankett, machten beide gleichzeitig der Tochter einer Omega-Bediensteten einen Antrag. Um sie glücklich zu machen, zwangen sie mich, die Spirituose „Blood Flame“ zu trinken – etwas, das kein Mensch je hätte aushalten können. Ich war völlig am Boden zerstört. An dem Tag, an dem ich aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde, rief ich meine Adoptivmutter an. „Ich bin bereit, den Vampirkönig zu heiraten.“

My Alpha mate Cain's childhood sweetheart Vivienne had returned from her overseas training in healing. She'd made a bet with the other healers that she could use the deadly wolfsbane to cure patients. Every senior healer told her it was absolutely impossible. But she ignored the warnings and injected a massive dose of wolfsbane extract straight into my mother Iris's body. My mother fell into a deep coma after her wolf was killed. My brother Ethan, enraged at the Moonlight Gathering, demanded a Trial by Blood from Vivienne, demanding her life. But Cain had Ethan imprisoned in the Silver Prison before the gathering. I was trembling with rage, wanting to tell everyone the truth at the gathering. But Cain stopped me. “When you go up on stage, tell everyone that what happened to your mother was an accident.” I froze, tears streaming down my face. I was his mate, after all. A flicker of guilt crossed Cain's eyes as he gently wiped away my tears. “Don't cry, baby,” his voice was low and gentle. “Vivian and I grew up together. She saved my life when we were little. She's a good person. She would never intentionally use Wolfsbane to harm your mother. It was an accident.” “You just need to admit it wasn't Vivian's fault,” Cain said, “and I'll get the best healers to treat your mother.” He paused. “Ethan will be released immediately too.” I closed my eyes. “Okay…” Since Vivienne was so important to you, then I would grant your wish. I turned and staged my death, leaving with my mother and brother. But the powerful Alpha broke down, searching the world for me and begging me to come back.

My best friend Seraphine had not one drop of blood left in her body when they found her. Her skin was translucent. There were two dried trails of blood from the corners of her mouth, like she had wept herself empty long before the end. She left one note. One sentence: "Vera saw his face." From that day forward, I became the Covenant's greatest sinner. Because I knew who did it. But I said nothing. For ten years, I said nothing. Then Lucian came back. He was the one who had turned us, raised us, given us the only home we had ever known. He set the Soul Prism in front of me. "Tonight," he said, "you give me the killer." His eyes hadn't changed. That was the worst part. After ten years of exile, of stones and fire and nights that never got warmer, I looked at him and he was still exactly who he had always been to me. "Or you disappear from this world along with him." He didn't know. The reason I had chosen exile and starvation and a Blood Oath that had been eating my soul core alive for a decade — was him. All of it, always, had been for him.
