Esme believed in this saying for as long as she could remember. These words gave her the strength and courage to live each day as it came until she eventually became tired of making those lemonades and wished for something else. Something—different. But that only seemed wishful thinking. Born as a noble and made an orphan after a rogue attack, Esme became the unwanted pack member of NightCrawler Pack. The once daughter of an alpha became nothing but a slave who answers to the new alpha’s family’ every beck and call. The pack that had once adored her now ridiculed her and laughed at her mistreatment and misery. They seemed to have forgotten how her family had fought for the safety of the pack and the kingdom and even lost their lives for them. But in all this, Esme remained silent. Silently enduring and hoping that one day, her knight in shining armor would come and rescue her. He will show up one day and take her away from the once happy place that has now become her hell. When that day eventually came, she was rejected without a second thought, and she watched as her world came crashing. Hard. Her heart caved in and lost all hope of ever finding happiness again. Or even leaving the pack. After all, what could a wolfless shifter do? Amidst her misery, a ray of light appeared. She was blessed with a second chance, mate. One whose outstretched hand she was hesitant to take, especially after knowing who he was.

Phoebe traveled to the Firebricks Pack with her cousin Joana, who is newly mated to the Gamma there. Upon meeting Alpha Hudson, she realized that they are mates. He avoids her but she is defiant to know the reason. He ditches her for a month and never expected that she would be waiting for his return at his pack. When she finally is able to confront him, the secret he holds leaves her flabbergasted. What on earth could be keeping the Alpha from his mate? Will Phoebe be able to handle the secret he unfolds, or will she turn her back on him? He didn't give her a choice because he rejected her. The moon goddess interfered and now he has to chase after her, but she has no memories of him. Has she already moved on? If her memories return, will she be able to forgive him? Is there a happy ending for this fated couple? ****** I opened the door on my side and exited the vehicle as well. "Why are you so upset?" The back and forth pacing halted at the sound of my voice. The anger he was fuming hadn't dissolved yet. "You were whoring around with another man!" "Whoring?" I retorted, "Looks who talking?" "You have no right to be kissing anyone else," he came around to the other side of the car. "You are my mate, for fuck's sake!" "You mean the mate that you don't want!" I shouted at him, "All you do is neglect me, and I have needs. If you get to fuck someone else, then so do I." The growl he emitted echoed across the hills. He lifted the car and slammed it down. I gulped down my fears and observed the raging Alpha. ********************** All rights reserved

Bonnie Anderson hat Jahre damit verbracht, für eine Zukunft zu sparen, die ihr betrunkener, nutzloser Vater in einer einzigen Nacht zerstört hat. Verzweifelt und ohne Optionen folgt sie einem gefährlich reichen Fremden aus einem Club, in der Hoffnung auf Hilfe. Sie bekommt das Geld und rennt weg, aber manche Entscheidungen lassen dich nicht einfach gehen. Sie wurde im Dunkeln von etwas angegriffen, das nicht menschlich war. Bonnie hätte sterben sollen, bis derselbe Mann, vor dem sie geflohen ist, auftaucht und sie mit einem Biss rettet, der alles verändert. Jetzt, von einem verfluchten König gezeichnet, den sie nicht versteht, beginnt ihr Körper, sie zu verraten. Er nennt es Schicksal, während sie es Wahnsinn nennt, weil es unmöglich ist, dass ein einziger Biss sie an ihn bindet, unmöglich, dass er ihr Leben an seines knüpft, und ganz sicher unmöglich, dass es bedeutet, dass sie etwas in sich trägt, das nicht existieren sollte. Er will sie nicht, und sie vertraut ihm nicht, aber die Bindung zwischen ihnen wird stärker und viel gefährlicher, als sie beide erwartet haben. In seiner Welt werden Gefährten nicht gewählt; sie werden beansprucht, und wenn dich ein König markiert, gibt es kein Entkommen.
