Crystal Demon

This book is a Standalone, you don't have to read the first two to relate to what happened, though I do recommend it. Book Three of the Bloodlust Series “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion, waking up in the familiar podium where she once grew up watching people die in front of her as she herself fought for her own life. “I don’t know, but I don’t like this” Richard said from beside Kiara. The two were trying to process how they even got here to begin with. People around them started coming to their senses as they woke up inside the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Bloodlust Games, The final chapter” ************************* Re-entering the Bloodlust games was never an option in Kiara’s life. But when revenge is on the line and both she and Richard are forced into them, they have nothing to do but survive, for it was either play and live. Or die…

Betrayed by her fated mate. Claimed by his father. Claire White’s world shatters when the man destined to be her mate abandons her. Seeking escape, she drowns her sorrows in a bar—until a dark, magnetic stranger ignites a fire in her blood. Theo is intoxicating, dangerous… and her wolf reacts to him in a way it never did with her so-called mate. But fate isn’t done with her. When her father falls ill, Claire is left drowning in debt—and her ex, Adrian, cruelly offers to pay… if she becomes his mistress. Refusing means ruin, but surrendering means losing herself forever. Then comes her only lifeline—a high-stakes job working for the most powerful Alpha in the city. Theo. Her savior. Her boss. And Adrian’s father. Now, trapped between duty and desire, Claire must navigate a world of pack politics, forbidden lust, and deadly secrets. Theo is everything she shouldn’t want—older, dominant, and her ex-mate’s sire. But the pull between them is raw, primal, and impossible to deny. Will she risk everything for a love that could destroy them both?

Betrayed by her husband and abandoned by her pack, Eliza Carter vows to rise from the ashes of her shattered life. Once a cherished Alpha’s daughter, she’s now determined to reclaim her pride and make those who wronged her regret it. But fate has other plans. When Eliza severs her bond with the man who broke her, a magnetic Lycan prince steps forward—her fated mate. Bound by destiny yet scarred by betrayal, can Eliza embrace a future of strength, love, and vengeance?

My fated mate, Dexter, became the Alpha King when his brother died. He inherited the crown, the power… and his brother’s widowed mate, Jenica. All because I, a half-breed, had failed for years to give him a pureblood heir. He told me he had to mark Jenica, and the pain nearly shattered me. But he held me close, kissed my tears, and swore that his wolf, his fate, had chosen only me. That I would always be his one and only Luna. I believed him. And yet, he still spent every night in her bed. Then, Jenica became pregnant. While the pack celebrated, Dexter forced me from the Luna’s suite, all so her pup could be born into the pack’s purest lunar aura. As I felt our bond unravel thread by painful thread, I sent a final, coded message to a friend in the human world. “In four days, get me out.” That night, I made a choice. My time as his mate was over.

Ich war Alpha Damons leitende Beta. Sechs Jahre lang war ich seine Geliebte und stellvertretende Anführerin. Als er unsere Paarungszeremonie ankündigte, feierte das ganze Rudel. Mein Traum war endlich zum Greifen nah. Doch dann hörte ich ihn vor seinem privaten Trophäenraum über seine „Luna-Prüfungen“ prahlen. Und genau in dem Moment erkannte ich die Wahrheit. Ich war nicht seine Einzige. Ich war nur eine von dreißig Kandidatinnen. Einen Monat lang hatte er mit jeder von uns verbracht und bewertet: unsere Körper, unsere Unterwürfigkeit, unsere Leistung. Meine Punktzahl? Niedriger als die eines Omegas. Niedriger als die von Lydia. „Lydia zu ficken war unglaublich“, prahlte er. „Ich konnte kaum von ihr lassen. Dann sehe ich Elysia – so steif, so beherrscht – und bin einfach … gelangweilt.“ Eis durchströmte meine Adern. Mein Körper erstarrte. Sechs Jahre Hingabe. Unzählige Nächte in seinen Laken. All das bedeutete weniger als ein billiger Kick und eine Wölfin, die zu kriechen verstand. Mein gebrochenes Herz gefror zu Eis. Ich schickte eine Nachricht an einen Alpha, der mich schon lange begehrt hatte. „Adrian, du hast einmal gesagt, dein Paarungsangebot gelte uneingeschränkt. Gilt das noch? Damon und ich sind fertig.“

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?

Je suis née une oméga fragile, mais mon don de prophétie a fait de moi la Sainte des Meutes du Nord. Le Conseil des Anciens a exigé que je choisisse un compagnon parmi les Alphas des grandes meutes. L'Alpha que j'ai choisi était destiné à conduire le Nord à la victoire et à être couronné Roi des Alphas. J'ai choisi l'Alpha Kane sans hésitation. Il m'avait sauvé la vie une fois. Le jour de notre cérémonie de lien, j'ai rougi et tremblé lorsqu'il a enfoncé ses crocs dans mon cou. Mais au moment où nous avons été liés, son véritable amour Scarlett, sa Bêta d'enfance, est devenue folle de jalousie. Elle a tenté de m'empoisonner, et pour son crime, les Anciens l'ont exilée. Elle est morte sur la route. Et moi ? J'ai utilisé mes prophéties pour aider Kane à gagner la guerre, pour le mettre sur le trône. Après son couronnement, il a plongé une lame d'argent dans mon cœur. Il m'a assassinée. « Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! » C'est seulement là que j'ai compris. Il m'avait détestée depuis toujours. J'ai rouvert les yeux… et j'étais de retour. De retour au jour où je devais choisir mon compagnon Alpha. Il se tenait devant moi, arrogant comme toujours. Il n'a perdu la tête que lorsqu'il a découvert que j'avais choisi un Alpha maudit. Je l'ai regardé s'agenouiller, implorant mon pardon. Mais dans cette vie, il n'y aurait aucune prophétie venant de moi. Voyons maintenant comment il survivra à la guerre.

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.

“Crawl over, Claire. Crawl over, and get what you want, that is the least you can do for how hard I intend to fuck you.” ******************** Just like everyone else who ends up in college with their curiosity spiking up the ceiling, Claire's was no different from them.

And the world suddenly seems to be against them?
