Crystal Blake

Nací siendo una omega frágil, pero mi don de profecía me convirtió en la Santa de las Manadas del Norte. El Consejo de Ancianos exigió que eligiera un compañero entre los Alfas de las grandes manadas. El Alfa que elegí estaba destinado a guiar al Norte a la victoria y ser coronado como el Rey Alfa. Entonces, elegí al Alfa Kane sin dudarlo. Me había salvado la vida una vez. El día de nuestra ceremonia de unión, me sonrojé y temblé cuando clavó sus dientes en mi cuello. Pero en el momento en que nos unimos, su verdadero amor, Scarlett, quien también era su Beta de la infancia, enloqueció de celos. Ella intentó envenenarme, y por su crimen, los Ancianos la exiliaron. Murió en el camino. ¿Y yo? Usé mis profecías para ayudar a Kane a ganar la guerra, para llevarlo al trono. Pero, tras su coronación, clavó una hoja de plata en mi corazón. Él me asesinó. —¡¿Por qué no la salvaste?! ¡¿Por qué no la salvaste?! Solo entonces lo comprendí. Él me había odiado desde siempre. Abrí los ojos de nuevo... y había regresado. Regresé al día en que tuve que elegir a mi compañero Alfa. Él estaba de pie frente a mí, arrogante como siempre. Pero no perdió la cabeza hasta que se dio cuenta de que había elegido a un Alfa maldito. Lo vi arrodillarse, implorando por mi perdón. Pero en esta vida, no habría profecías de mi parte para él. Veamos cómo sobrevive a la guerra ahora.

Right before our Mating Ceremony, my mate, Alpha Damien, told me he had to temporarily mark an Omega from our pack, Seraphina. He claimed she had the Moon Sickness and would die if he didn't mark her. I fought him on it, but the next day, he moved Seraphina right into the penthouse of the Pack House. The suite meant for the future Luna. My suite. To calm me, he even got on his knees, his eyes red as he promised, "Once she's safe, I'll remove the mark. You'll still be my only Luna." But then, Seraphina found me, a medical report in her hand. Six weeks pregnant. They'd already held their marking ceremony long before Damien ever came to me. My heart shattered into ash. My pen dug into the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our Mating Ceremony. Then, I opened my laptop and replied to the email from the European Laurel Healers' Guild. "I accept your invitation. I leave on the day of the Mating Ceremony."

The night of the Blood Moon Hunt, our pack was ambushed. We were being slaughtered. Yet my mate, Alpha Ridley, chose to save his first love, Yolia, without a second thought. He told me to stay behind and hold the line, claiming it was my duty as Luna. He claimed his precious Yolia was a vital warrior who needed to be protected. Even my own son, Leo, stood by Yolia's side to defend her. I was captured by the rival pack, tortured with a silver dagger until I was on the brink of death. Just as I was about to give up, a voice echoed in my mind. "The blood of the Luna Prime flows through your veins. You have three days. Let your life end before the eyes of your fated mate, or the one you love most, and you will be reborn." A power surged inside me, calling to me. I ran toward that glorious death, embracing it. But as I drew my last breath, I saw Ridley and our son, Leo, fall to their knees, howling my name, begging for a return I would never grant them.

“Our marriage is never going to be a real one,” Irina said, looking at the Rogue who was betrothed to her. “As long as you fulfill your part of the deal, it doesn’t have to be.” Alpha Kai said, his eyes hardening as he took a step back. “I’ll see you walking down the aisle. Until then, I suggest that you think wisely of your choices…” *********************************** Forced to marry a rogue at the ripe age of twenty, Irina finds herself stuck between two choices. Either give the Rogue Alpha a child and be loyal to him or her save her family from the wrath of the Medici who was more than willing to get his revenge from her father over a debt of years.

J'étais autrefois la Bêta la plus forte de la meute. J'ai brisé ma louve en sauvant mon compagnon, l'Alpha Damon. J'ai perdu l'ouïe. J'ai perdu notre lien mental. Mais Damon ne m'a jamais traitée comme si j'étais handicapée. Il a appris la langue des signes pour moi. Il s'est assuré que toute la meute me respecte en tant que leur Luna. Notre fille était adorable et parfaite. Elle me montrait toujours à quel point elle m'aimait. Puis un jour, c'est arrivé. J'ai retrouvé l'ouïe, le lien mental s'est rétabli. J'étais tellement excitée. Je voulais l'annoncer à Damon et Lily lors de la cérémonie de la pleine lune. Au lieu de cela, je les ai entendus. Lily, ma précieuse fille, parlait à Damon via notre lien. « Papa, l'infirme porte toujours mon frère. Quand pourrons-nous ramener maman Elara à la maison ? Je veux qu'elle soit notre vraie Luna ! » C'est là que j'ai compris : ma fille, le fils dans mon ventre, ils ne m'appartenaient jamais. Ils appartenaient à Elara. Elara était une oméga métisse. Elle ne pouvait pas porter les petits d'un Alpha. Je n'étais qu'une mère porteuse, une incubatrice vivante. Damon m'a donné du poison pour me rendre stérile. Puis il a utilisé la magie noire pour implanter l'enfant de son amante en moi. J'ai tremblé, les larmes coulaient sur mon visage. Damon m'a trahie et j'allais réduire son monde en cendres. Ensuite, je disparaîtrais à jamais de sa vie.

When my father asked me to choose between the two Lewis brothers I had grown up with to get married to, I chose Joseph Lewis. He was the man I had secretly loved for 13 years. But on the day of our wedding, his stepsister, Jessica Lewis, leaped off the rooftop of the hotel. She left behind a letter written in blood, blessing Joseph and me with a lifetime of love and happiness. It was only then that I learned that the two of them had been secretly in love for years. At the wedding, Joseph lost control in front of everyone, declaring that he would no longer be concerned with any worldly affairs. I was left standing helplessly in place. For the rest of his life, he lived in guilt, keeping vigil beside Jessica's grave. I resented his deceit, yet stubbornly clung to our marriage, and we tormented each other for years. This went on until we were kidnapped one day. To save me, he perished together with the kidnappers. Before he died, he looked at me and said, "Evelyn, it was wrong of me to keep it from you. But now that both Jessica and I are gone, that should settle the debt, shouldn't it? If there's a next time, don't choose me again." Then, I reopen my eyes to see that I have returned to the day when my father asked me to choose my fiance. This time, I will firmly choose his elder brother, Theodore Lewis.

What will you do if your fiancé betrays you, with someone you are completely unexpected and, in fact, really love about? I ran away, to a club owned by a handsome billionaire who was heartbroken and ended up in his bed. Not stopping there, I continued my escape all the way to Italy, with the fetus in my stomach. I thought, after all that chaos, I and I had finally found a new, peaceful life in a place that no one would ever know about. However, the billionaire found me and was determined to take me back, especially after he found out that there were a pair of twins with me. The problem was, I was determined never to come back, and that man also had a fiancee. What should I do?

I fell for Don Lorenzo Moretti the second I saw him. Hard. As a mafia princess, I wasn't supposed to chase anyone. But for him, I swallowed my pride and made him my mission. A year later, he finally had me, pinning me to the bed as he moved inside me. His eyes were pure fire, and in that mo ment, they saw only me. For ten years, we were electric. We fucked in five-star hotels all over the world. We just fit. I was his lucky charm at the poker table. I took shots for him until I bled from my stomach. I even took a bullet for him. Then came our engagement party. Lorenzo left me standing there alone. Said something "came up." I went back to our apartment, only to find him kissing my stepsister, Juliana. That’s when I knew. He had always loved her. I was just a stand-in. He tried to explain, words tumbling out in a panicked rush, promising a bigger, better party to make up for it. A laugh, cold and hollow, died in my throat. I turned my back on him, pulled out my phone, and called my mother in Sicily. "I'll marry into the Romano family."

“Let. Me. Go!” She said, trying to run away from the man who now had her cornered. A familiar scent filled her nostrils, but she could barely find it in her to speak let alone call for HIS help. “You are mine now,” he glared at her, his eyes filled with rage. Her heart raced, and she tried moving away from his tight grip as he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her. “I will show you what it is to try and run away from your Alpha.” Her breathing ragged, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head before the man’s hand loosened around her neck. His green eyes met hers in the darkness, and it was seconds later before his tattooed arms wrapped around her, holding her to his chest. “And that is what you get for messing with my MATE, Stefano…” ********************************* What if everything was nothing more than a lie? What if what you know was not more than a game? What if what you held onto was the one thing that was to drop you? When Alpha Diego is given a task by his father, he is forced to play the ONE game he hates most. The game of love. And the one thing that makes it even worse is that he forced to play it against the one person that he is supposed to cherish. His mate, Lea Auditore…
