I accidentally stumbled upon numerous explicit videos on my husband's computer while tidying up his desk. The videos showed him in bed with my unmarried best friend. The relationship between my husband and me had been platonic ever since I gave birth 40 years ago. His reason was that he was no longer capable of physical intimacy. Now, it felt like my entire life had been a sham, despite all my efforts for my family.

Drei Jahre Ehe - und ich war zufrieden mit meinem Leben. Mein Mann, Felix Weber, war nicht nur attraktiv und wohlhabend, sondern auch unglaublich liebevoll, geduldig und immer ausgeglichen. In all den Jahren hatten wir nie wirklich gestritten, nie ein böses Wort miteinander gewechselt. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem ich ihn sah - den sonst so ruhigen und kontrollierten Felix. Er hatte eine Frau, offensichtlich seine große Liebe aus der Vergangenheit, an die Wand gedrängt. Mit einer Stimme, die vor Zorn und Schmerz bebte, „Du hast damals selbst entschieden, einen anderen zu heiraten! Mit welchem Recht kommst du jetzt zu mir?“, fragte er sie. Erst da begriff ich: Wenn er jemanden wirklich liebt, dann tut er das mit einer brennenden, ungezähmten Leidenschaft. Ich zog mich zurück, ließ mich scheiden und verschwand - spurlos. Bald darauf hörte ich Gerüchte, dass Sebastian den Verstand verloren haben soll. Angeblich habe er jede Ecke der Stadt durchforstet, als würde er die ganze Welt auf den Kopf stellen, nur um mich zu finden. Dieser selbstbeherrschte, disziplinierte Mann, verrückt - und das ausgerechnet wegen mir, seiner unscheinbaren Ex-Frau? Es schien absurd. Doch dann traf ich ihn wieder. Ich stand an der Seite eines anderen Mannes, als er plötzlich vor mir auftauchte. Ohne Vorwarnung packte er mein Handgelenk, seine Augen voller Verzweiflung, fast wahnsinnig. Mit einer Stimme, die kaum noch zu ihm zu gehören schien, flüsterte er: „Lena, ich habe einen Fehler gemacht. Bitte komm zurück zu mir.“ Und in diesem Moment wurde mir klar: Die Gerüchte hatten nicht übertrieben. Sebastian war wirklich außer sich.

Das Unternehmen von Anna Krügers Vater stand kurz vor dem Bankrott. Daher verheiratete ihre Stiefmutter sie mit einem einflussreichen Mann – Felix Bauer. Das Problem: er lag im Koma. Alle warteten darauf, dass sie Witwe wurde und die Bauers sie vor die Tür setzten. Doch schon bald erwachte Felix unerwartet aus dem Koma. Nach seinem Erwachen war er voller Wut über die Zwangsehe, düster und gewalttätig: „Anna, selbst wenn du mein Kind erwartest, werde ich es mit meinen eigenen Händen töten!“ Vier Jahre später kehrte Anna mit ihren hochbegabten Zwillingen – einem Jungen und einem Mädchen, ins Land zurück. Sie zeigte auf Felix' Gesicht in einer Wirtschaftssendung und warnte ihre Kinder: „Haltet euch von diesem Mann fern. Er hat geschworen, euch beide umzubringen.“ Noch am selben Abend hackte sich einer der Zwillinge in Felix' Computer und hinterließ eine Kampfansage: „Du Mistkerl, komm und krieg mich doch, wenn du dich traust!“

I opened my eyes to a dark, windowless room. Overhead, a voice crackled from the speakers. “Welcome to The Judgment Room. Each player will state the crime they committed. Do not lie. After all six of you speak, you will vote. The one with the most votes will be eliminated. “The game starts now.” In this deadly game, whose sins weighed the least?

The year I hit rock bottom, I got sucked into a game. The rule was to survive a week on 50 dollars, and the winner would walk away with one million dollars. Everyone else was desperate to win, but I was the only one trying to escape. What they did not know was that I was the previous round's winner, and killing me meant they could steal my 500 million dollars.

(21 years ago) It was the darkest of all nights and the hunt had begun. The glorious light of the moon was shining bright, spreading its silver glow throughout the forest and not a single animal moved, for they all knew what was about to happen. The ground shook as the park tore through the forest and emerging first through the shadow was the Alpha. His amber eyes glowed and his snout twitched as he breathed in the damp fresh air. He growled a loud howl and in response a hundred other roars were heard. Then beside him another wolf appeared, blue eyes and the whitest fur – his mate and the Luna of the pack. Both wolves shared a glance and as their eyes met they shared a conversation. In the midst of the hunt Alexia finds a human baby kept in a carton barely covered and left to be killed by the cold or wild animals. WHAT WILL SHE DO WITH THE BABY?

Twenty-three-year-old Samantha Peters has been a good girl her entire life. She's never broken the rules, never did anything crazy, and never stood out in any way. When her best friend conveniences her to go to New York for the weekend, she has her first one nightstand. No big deal, right? No one back home will ever know and she'll never see him again.

Rashel, an overly supportive wife and Luna to Alpha Seth, who helped her husband build his pack to become the envy of all, thought her life was finally about to take the best turn she had always hoped for. But nothing prepared her for the fall from grace to grass fate had for her. It is tradition that any Alpha without an heir at age 35 would lose his pack to the next best contender. And in this case, Alpha Seth's younger brother, who was an archenemy, was the next best available contender, and he was willing to do just anything to make sure his brother, Seth, lost the pack to him. Disgraced and forced out of her pack after her husband found out he had a second fated mate, Rashel left with the one thing Seth needed to retain his pack – Her pregnancy. She was given a second fated mate, who turned out to be the Alpha King, Jethro. The one man who held the entire werewolf nation in his palm. Rashel thought that life had given her and her baby a second chance, since Alpha Jethro loved her to the moon and back. But what she didn't know was that her misery had only just begun, because not only did Seth regret letting her go, but now he desperately needed her and his child—the heir to his pack—back in his life. But this would be over Alpha Jethro's dead body. Rashel is caught in the middle of an impending war between the man she once loved and the man with whom she gradually built a new life. Now, she has to find out where her heart truly lies and whom she wants to spend the rest of her life with.
