Cool Crystal Names

Meine Schwester Lily wurde von Rogues, abtrünnigen Wölfen, in Stücke gerissen. Ich schluchzte und klammerte mich an meinen Schicksalsgefährten, Alpha Ethan, und flehte ihn an, ihre Mörder zu finden. Er tat es nie. Ein Jahr später, an ihrem Todestag. Ich suchte Ethan auf. Ich war bereit, ihm zu sagen, dass ich schwanger war. Stattdessen fand ich ihn, wie er eine andere Omega, Bella, in den Armen hielt. „Keine Sorge“, flüsterte er beruhigend, „Niemand wird je erfahren, dass du den mentalen Schild des Rudels fallen gelassen hast und damit Lilys Tod verursacht hast. Sobald Harper bei der Zeremonie freiwillig ihren Luna-Titel abgibt, wirst du meine Einzige sein.“ Mein Herz zerbrach. Also darum ging es. Er hatte mich nie gezeichnet und mich auch nie offiziell zurückgewiesen... und er wollte, dass ich von selbst zurücktrete. Er beschützte die Mörderin meiner Schwester. Er wollte sie zu seiner Luna machen. Ich stürmte in das Büro und schrie sie an. Bella hustete plötzlich Blut und brach zusammen. Eisenhutvergiftung, behauptete sie. „Sie wurde vergiftet, als sie mich gerettet hat! Gib ihr dein Herzblut! Das ist die einzige Chance, sie zu retten!“ Ethan sah mich an, als wäre ich weniger wert als Dreck. „Ich bin schwanger. Das wird das Baby töten!“ Ich flehte. Doch sein Alpha-Befehl traf mich wie eine unsichtbare Wand. Mein Körper gehorchte mir nicht mehr. Ich konnte nur zusehen, wie die dicke Nadel in meine Brust eindrang, direkt über meinem Herzen. Goldenes Blut strömte heraus. Ein scharfer Schmerz riss mir durch den Unterleib. Er hatte mein Baby getötet. Meine Wölfin zerbrach in mir. Ich schloss die Augen und suchte nach einer Verbindung, die in der Welt der Werwölfe streng verboten war. „Wolfskönig Rogan. Morgen brauche ich deine Hilfe, um alles im Schwarzholzrudel zu zerstören, auch Alpha Ethan.“

“Don’t flatter yourself. In my bed, there’ll be no pleasure for you—only pain. Mate bond or not, I’ll ruin you before I ever love you.” That was the promise I got on my wedding night. Being forced to marry the Alpha who hates me? That wasn’t part of the plan. I’ve spent years plotting the downfall of the pack that took everything from me. But when heat came unexpectedly, fate bound me to Lord Lucan—cold, ruthless, and devastatingly powerful. I didn’t choose him. The bond did. To him, I’m nothing but the daughter of traitors. A stain on the pack and a reminder of everything he lost. To me, he’s the son of the enemy who wrongly condemned my family. When he dragged me to the altar, it wasn’t love—it was revenge. When he touched me, it wasn’t passion—it was punishment. He didn’t mark me out of love. He did it to cage me. Now I’m trapped in his bed, his territory, his rules… while he swears to make my life a living hell. But hate is a dangerous line to walk— Especially when his touch burns hotter than fire, and his kisses steal the breath from my lungs. I was determined to destroy his pack. He was determined to destroy me. Only one of us will win this game—and it won’t be the one who falls first.

" Don't say anymore word than you already have, don't..." I stuck a finger out at him, sauntering away on my heels when a hand wrapped itself around my arm. Breathlessly he whispered, "You know that I do love you and...fine, what exactly was I supposed to do?" "Protect me and stand up for me. That is what you do for someone who you claim you love!" ************ Out to spite her ex-boyfriend after he had broken up with her on her birthday, Daphne slept with a stranger who turned out to be his uncle while trying to rebuff his words that she was unwanted by others.

Meu companheiro destinado, Dexter, tornou-se o Rei Alfa quando seu irmão morreu. Ele herdou a coroa, o poder… e a companheira viúva do irmão, Jenica. Tudo porque eu, uma mestiça, falhei por anos em lhe dar um herdeiro de sangue puro. Ele me disse que precisava marcar Jenica, e a dor quase me despedaçou. Mas ele me segurou nos braços, beijou minhas lágrimas e jurou que seu lobo, seu destino, havia escolhido apenas a mim. Que eu sempre seria sua única e verdadeira Luna. Eu acreditei nele. E, ainda assim, ele passava todas as noites na cama dela. Então, Jenica engravidou. Enquanto a alcateia comemorava, Dexter me expulsou dos aposentos da Luna, tudo para que o filhote dela nascesse envolto na aura lunar mais pura da alcateia. À medida que eu sentia o nosso vínculo se desfazer, fio por fio doloroso, enviei uma última mensagem codificada a uma amiga no mundo humano. [Em quatro dias, me tire daqui.] Naquela noite, eu fiz uma escolha. Meus dias como companheira dele haviam acabado.

Los rebeldes me tomaron mientras estaba protegiendo a mi pareja, el Alfa Arturo. Volví tres años después, solo para encontrar que Arturo estaba de pareja con mi hermana, Calista. Mi hijo, Leo, no me reconoció. Solo veía a Calista como su verdadera madre. Rota, forcé a Arturo a desterrar a Calista con el apoyo de los Ancianos, aprovechando mis contribuciones pasadas. Pero ella murió en una manada débil y apartada. Envenenada. Después de su muerte, Leo me odió por ello. Arturo nunca me culpó, sin embargo. Solo seguía diciéndome que todo estaría bien. Pero cuando nuestra manada fue atacada de nuevo, me lanzó a nuestros enemigos sin dudar. Me dejó morir. Mientras yacía muriendo, lo escuché gruñir entre dientes apretados: —Si no hubieras vuelto, Calista habría sido mi pareja de por vida. Mi corazón se convirtió en cenizas. Entonces, abrí los ojos. Estaba de vuelta. De vuelta al día en que regresé después de haberme ido por tres años. Esta vez, miré a Arturo protegiendo a Calista, con Leo aferrado a ella. “Rompo nuestro vínculo de pareja. A partir de hoy, he terminado con todos ustedes.”

My best friend, Maya, flew in from Miami for my bachelorette week. My last days of freedom. She insisted on a girls' night in to celebrate, ordering all my favorite takeout. She asked me to hold her mobile phone and wait.Then her phone lit up. A message from some guy. A shirtless pic. Text: I need you tonight. Another photo buzzed through. Sex toys. Bondage gear straight out of a movie. My face burned. My heart hammered against my ribs. I’d just stumbled into her secret life. But the next image made my blood run cold. A close-up of the man's chest. A jagged scar I knew better than my own reflection. It belonged to my fiancé, Luciano Carbone.

Juste avant la cérémonie d'accouplement, mon compagnon, Alpha Claude, m'a dit qu'il devait marquer temporairement une Oméga de notre meute, Fabienne. Il a prétendu qu'elle avait la maladie de la lune et qu'elle mourrait s'il ne la marquait pas. Je me suis disputée avec lui à ce sujet, mais le lendemain, il a installé Fabienne dans le penthouse de la Maison de la Meute. C'était la suite destinée à la future Luna. Ma suite. Pour me calmer, il s'est même mis à genoux, les yeux rougis, et m'a promis : « Quand elle sera en sécurité, j'enlèverai la marque. Tu resteras ma seule Luna. » Mais ensuite, Fabienne m'a retrouvée, un rapport médical à la main. Elle était enceinte de six semaines. Ils avaient déjà fait leur cérémonie de marquage bien avant que Claude ne vienne me voir. Mon cœur s'est brisé en cendres. Mon stylo a creusé le calendrier, gravant un X vicieux sur la date qui était censée être celle de notre cérémonie d'accouplement. Puis j'ai ouvert mon ordinateur portable et répondu à l'e-mail de la Guilde Européenne des Guérisseurs du Laurier. « J'accepte votre invitation, je pars le jour de la cérémonie d'accouplement. »

Des renégats m'ont enlevée alors que je protégeais mon compagnon, l'Alpha Arthur. Je suis revenue trois ans plus tard, pour trouver Arthur accouplé à ma sœur, Caroline. Mon fils, Léo, ne me reconnaissait pas. Pour lui, Caroline était sa vraie mère. Brisée, j'ai forcé Arthur à bannir Caroline avec le soutien des Anciens, en utilisant mes contributions passées comme levier. Mais elle a été tuée dans une meute isolée et faible, empoisonnée. Après sa mort, Léo me détestait pour cela. Arthur ne m'a jamais fait de reproches. Il m'a dit que tout irait bien. Mais quand notre meute a été attaquée à nouveau, il m'a jetée à nos ennemis sans hésiter, m'a laissée mourir. Alors que j'agonisais, je l'ai entendu grogner en serrant les dents. « Si tu n'étais pas revenue, Caroline aurait été ma compagne pour la vie ! » Mon cœur s'est transformé en cendres. Puis, j'ai ouvert les yeux. J'étais de retour, au jour de mon retour après trois ans d'absence. Cette fois, je regardais Arthur qui protégeait Caroline, et Léo qui s'accrochait à elle. « Je romps notre lien de compagnon. A partir de ce jour, j'en ai fini avec vous tous. »
