Elena Weiß führt seit fünf Jahren eine Beziehung, die in der feinen Gesellschaft jeder kennt: laut, dramatisch, in aller Munde. Am Tag der Eheschließung lässt ihr Verlobter sie jedoch einfach sitzen. Elena macht da nicht mehr mit. Sie schwört, alle Bande zu ihm zu kappen. Aus ihrem Verlobten wird endgültig ihr Ex. Nach einem einzigen Telefonat lässt sie sich aus Trotz auf etwas Verrücktes ein und geht zum Standesamt, um Felix Stein zu heiraten. Den Mann, zu dem sie immer ein kühles, distanziertes Verhältnis hatte, nämlich den älteren Bruder ihres Exfreundes. --- Felix Stein ist als Erbe eines einflussreichen Familienclans bekannt. Im Ausland hat er ein eigenes Finanzimperium aufgebaut, ein gefürchtetes Schwergewicht in der internationalen Finanzwelt. Nach der Hochzeit verwöhnt er Elena bis ins Mark und lässt ihr nahezu alles durchgehen. Als ihr Ex Elena öffentlich demütigt und sie als völlig wertlos hinstellt, schlägt Felix ihn mit einem einzigen Hieb zu Boden. „Meine Frau ist mein größter Schatz, mein Ein und Alles. Ganz gleich, wie sie ist, ich stehe zu ihr. Wenn du sie noch ein einziges Mal beleidigst, verschwindest du aus dem Stammbaum der Familie Stein!“ Erst viel später erfährt Elena, dass der Mann, vor dem sie sich damals so gefürchtet hat, sie seit zehn Jahren heimlich liebt und diese Liebe lange vorbereitet hat...

Ethan, mi cachorro de apenas tres años, se metió por error en territorio errante y lo mataron de forma brutal. Cuando me dieron la noticia, perdí el sentido. Desperté y vi a Alexander, mi pareja Alfa, apretándome la mano con fuerza. Tenía la voz ronca por la tristeza. —Te juro que voy a vengar a Ethan. Voy a despedazar a esos malditos errantes con mis propias manos. Pero tres días después, en el entierro, escuché por casualidad una conversación entre Alexander y Marcus, su Beta. —En serio no entiendo. —Marcus sonaba confundido—. ¿Por qué no dejó que el sanador de la manada ayudara a Ethan? Estaba herido de gravedad, pero vivo. Si hubiéramos actuado a tiempo... —Fue Lucas. Empujó a Ethan hacia territorio errante por accidente. —Alexander sonaba dolorido—. Lucas es solo un niño y no conocía las fronteras. No fue su intención. —Si hubiera dejado que el sanador lo salvara, el niño le habría contado la verdad a todo el mundo. Sophia terminaría en la cárcel y el Consejo condenaría a muerte a Lucas. No podía permitir que eso pasara —continuó Alexander. —¿Qué pasará con el heredero de la manada? —preguntó Marcus, preocupado. —Eso no importa. —El tono de Alexander recuperó una calma—. En cuanto Ivy se tranquilice, traeré a Lucas. Diremos que es un huérfano adoptado y ella misma se encargará de criar al siguiente Alfa. Así que el que mató a mi cachorro fue el bastardo que tuvo con su amante. Mi cachorro pudo haberse salvado, pero Alexander sacrificó a mi Ethan por su bastardo. Marqué un número al que no había llamado en cinco años. —Soy yo. Ivy. —Cambié de opinión. —Yo sonaba firme y no mostraba ninguna emoción—. Voy a regresar para heredar la Manada Imperial. —¿Y qué pasará con la Manada Moonstone? —Quiero que la Manada Moonstone sea destruida.

At my mating ceremony, Alpha Derek's stepsister Victoria arrived wearing the $30 million Luna ceremonial gown he claimed our pack couldn't afford. Victoria pushed me into the ceremonial fire, and as the flames scorched my skin, Derek shouted at me for ruining the ceremony and embarrassing him in front of everyone. They left for our honeymoon together—the one I paid for with my own money. Wolves from the rival pack surrounded me. My wolf couldn't shift because of pregnancy. Through our mind link, I begged Derek for help. He blocked me while kissing Victoria on a Maldives beach. As the rival Alpha's claws tore into my womb, my unborn child died in pieces. Derek returned with tears, begging forgiveness. Like a fool, I gave it. What he doesn't know: I am the Alpha heiress of the Northern Territories' most powerful pack. Severing our mate bond isn't enough. I will take everything from him.

My three-year-old son, Ethan, strayed into rogue territory and was brutally murdered. When the news reached me, I blacked out. I woke up to my Alpha mate, Alexander, gripping my hand tightly. His voice was hoarse with grief. "Ivy, I swear I will avenge Ethan. I will tear those damned rogues apart with my own claws." But three days later, at the funeral, I overheard a conversation between Alexander and his Beta, Marcus. "Alpha, I don't understand," Marcus sounded confused. "Why didn't you let the pack doctor save Ethan? He was only critically injured. If we had acted in time..." "It was Lucas. He accidentally pushed Ethan toward the rogue territory," Alexander’s voice was laced with pain. "Lucas was just a child who didn't know the rogue borders. He didn’t mean it." "If I let the doctor save Ethan, the boy would have told everyone the truth. Sophia would go to jail, and the Council would sentence Lucas to death. I couldn't let that happen." Alexander continued. "But what about the pack's heir?" Marcus asked, worried. "It doesn't matter," Alexander’s tone returned to a chilling calm. "Once Ivy calms down, I'll bring Lucas back. We’ll say he’s an adopted orphan and have the next Alpha raised by Ivy herself." So, the person who killed my son was his illegitimate child with his mistress. My son could have been saved, but Alexander sacrificed my Ethan for his bastard. I dialed a number I hadn't called in five years. "Dad, it's me. Ivy." "I’ve changed my mind," my voice was cold and steady. "I’m coming back to inherit the Royal Pack." "And what about the Moonstone Pack?" "I want the Moonstone Pack erased from existence."

The night the Alpha King came to inspect Shadowfang Pack, my Alpha mate Cain was out chasing after his childhood sweetheart Vivienne, who'd thrown a tantrum and run off. In my past life, the Alpha King was attacked by vampires and poisoned. I contacted Cain through the mate bond. He rushed back, and I gave Cain the moonstone my mother had left me, asking him to rescue the Alpha King. To reward his loyalty, the Alpha King entrusted the entire northern territory to Cain's rule. But after I called Cain back through the bond, Vivienne was left alone. A straggling vampire found her. She died. Cain didn't say a word. The day I gave birth, he dragged me to the border of the rogue wolves' territory and shoved me into a pack of feral rogues. He looked down at me, his eyes flat and full of disgust. "If you hadn't sent that call through the bond, Vivienne wouldn't have been out there alone. Every second of pain she suffered—I'm going to make you pay it all back." When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn back to the moment Alpha King was attacked by vampires. This time, I didn't contact Cain through the mate bond. Instead, I gripped the Moonstone and stood in front of Alpha King. The Alpha position, was mine this time.

When the line between fake and real begins to blur, Jensyn is forced to play a game of survival. Because in this marriage, the risk isn't just about the contract or the shares to be lost. As she digs deeper... There's every probability she wouldn't make it alive. Because love wouldn't kill her... The person watching would.

My sister Emma and I were mated to the most powerful Alpha twins in the North—Evan and Lucas. After the marking ceremony, they spoiled us rotten. Every she-wolf in the Pack was jealous. But they didn't know that in my previous life, when I was five months pregnant and attacked by rogue wolves on my way to a prenatal checkup, my mate Evan was taking care of another sick she-wolf. I contacted Evan ten times through mind link, but he said impatiently: "Aria, how many more times are you going to play this trick? Sophia just had a premonition this morning that there would be no rogue wolf attack today! Sophia has already coughed up blood from overusing her precognitive abilities! As the Luna, you're not helping, and instead you're here being jealous?" Sophia was a she-wolf that he and Lucas rescued three months ago while patrolling the border. She was delicate and pitiful, claiming she could foresee the future. Soon, she successfully warned of several small-scale attacks. Evan and Lucas treated her like a treasure, doting on her. My sister Emma saw this scene on her way to pick up her three-year-old nephew Noah from school. She rushed forward without hesitation to save me. She and Noah begged Lucas for help, but Lucas was even colder: "You two sisters are really something. It's bad enough you conspired to put on a show to force us to come home, but you even taught a three-year-old child to lie!" Finally, the rogue wolf pack caught up with us. Three-year-old Noah was brutally bitten to death, and my child was ripped from my womb. When I opened my eyes again, Emma and I were back an hour before the rogue wolf attack. This time, Emma and I had only one thought: to sever the mate bond.

“I can’t believe you just said that!” I burst out, staring at Ethan like he’d sprouted twenty extra heads. “You want me to... to pretend to be your girlfriend? What, like, fake holding hands? Fake kissing? Fake everything?” He didn’t blink as his nonchalant gaze met mine, a hint of a smirk playing on those lips. “Yes, Riley. That’s usually how fake dating works.” All Harper Adams wanted was to get through one evening pretending to be her best friend on a blind date. But when her date turned out to be Ethan Reynolds—her infuriatingly handsome CEO—things quickly spiraled out of control. Now, she’s caught in a whirlwind of fake romance to help him dodge his family’s relentless matchmaking schemes. Between awkward office run-ins and public displays of “affection” at high-society galas, Harper is discovering that fake dating might be a lot harder than she thought—especially when her feelings for Ethan start to feel all too real. With secrets piling up and hilariously disastrous moments at every turn, Harper’s left wondering: can she survive this charade, or will her fake love life blow up in her face?

Mon Alpha fiancé m'a fait boire une potion de mémoire de sorcière le jour de notre cérémonie d'union pour qu'il puisse s'unir à ma demi-sœur. « Sylvie est sous une malédiction vicieuse. Seul un lien avec un Alpha puissant peut la briser. » « Aria, tu es la seule que j'aime. Je ne veux pas te faire de mal, alors si tu bois cette potion de mémoire, tu oublieras temporairement la personne que tu aimes le plus. Une fois que j'aurai aidé Sylvie à briser sa malédiction, tu pourras prendre l'antidote et retrouver tes souvenirs. » « Ensuite, je romprai le lien avec Sylvie et je ferai de toi la Luna la plus honorée de notre tribu. » Je n'ai pas hésité. J'ai bu toute la potion d'un trait. Mais il ne savait pas que la sorcière n'avait jamais créé d'antidote correspondant. Dans sept jours, je l'oublierais pour toujours.

Mon fils avait été enlevé par une meute de loups renégats. Deux jours plus tard, l'équipe de patrouille a retrouvé son corps. Ses membres étaient brisés, tout son corps était couvert d'ecchymoses, pas un seul endroit de sa fourrure n'était intact. Je tenais sa dépouille sans vie dans mes bras et je hurlais de douleur. Mon compagnon Damien, l'Alpha de la Meute Croc-de-Tempête, a juré que les coupables paieraient. Toutes les preuves ont pointé vers Sara, l'assistante Oméga de Damien - en réalité, sa maîtresse. En tant que Luna de la meute, j'ai révélé publiquement les résultats de l'enquête et les preuves devant tous les membres. Sous la pression de la meute, mon compagnon a été forcé d'exécuter son assistante Oméga. Un an plus tard, je suis tombée de nouveau enceinte. Mais pendant la cérémonie de mon dixième anniversaire en tant que Luna, mon compagnon m'a enfermée dans une chambre en feu pour me punir. C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai découvert la vérité : il me haïssait parce que je l'avais forcé à tuer son assistante Oméga. Il voulait ma mort, par vengeance. Dans les flammes, j'ai senti l'enfant dans mon ventre s'éteindre, et mes forces m'ont abandonnée. Après ma renaissance, je n'ai toujours pas pu changer le destin tragique de mon fils. Mais quand j'ai choisi d'abandonner mon rôle de Luna de la Meute Croc-de-Tempête, toute la meute est tombée à genoux, me suppliant de ne pas partir.
