This book is a Standalone, you don't need to read the first book to understand what happened, though I do recommend it for small details. Book Two in the Bloodlust series. “Her passing this will be impossible Nikolay” Kiara said looking at her husband, her eyes wide as she looked at his little sister being part of this project. “She has made her choice Kiara, I tried stopping her from getting herself into trouble, time and time, she chose to contact my enemy, she will suffer the consequence” Nikolay said coldly looking down at his sister through the glass podium.

Minha irmã, Lily, foi despedaçada por renegados. Eu soluçava, implorando ao meu Companheiro Destinado, o alfa Ethan, que encontrasse seus assassinos. Ele nunca encontrou. Um ano depois, no aniversário da morte dela. Fui procurar Ethan, pronta para contar que estava grávida. Em vez disso, o encontrei abraçando outra ômega, Bella. — Não se preocupe — ele a consolava. — Ninguém vai descobrir que você derrubou o escudo mental da alcateia e causou a morte de Lily. Assim que Harper abrir mão do título de Luna na cerimônia, você será minha única. Meu coração se despedaçou. Então era isso. Ele nunca me marcou, nunca me rejeitou… ele queria que eu desistisse por conta própria. Ele estava protegendo a assassina da minha irmã. Ele queria torná-la Luna. Invadi o lugar gritando, mas Bella de repente tossiu sangue e desmaiou. Envenenamento por Acônito, ela alegou. — Ela foi envenenada me salvando! Me dê o sangue do seu coração! É a única coisa que pode salvá-la! Ethan me olhou com mais nojo do que se eu fosse lixo. — Estou grávida! Vai matar o bebê! — implorei. Mas o Comando alfa dele me atingiu. Meu corpo já não era mais meu. Só pude assistir enquanto a agulha grossa perfurava meu peito, bem sobre meu coração. Sangue dourado escorreu. Uma dor aguda e dilacerante rasgou meu estômago… Ele tinha matado meu bebê. Minha loba se despedaçou dentro de mim. Fechei os olhos, alcançando uma conexão proibida no mundo dos lobisomens. — Rei Lycan Rogan. Amanhã, preciso que me ajude a destruir tudo na Alcateia Blackwood. Incluindo o alfa Ethan.

I bought my daughter Aria an island when her wolf spirit awakened. My mate, Alpha Kael, was supposed to come with me. We were going to hold our daughter’s coming-of-age ceremony on her new island. But he never showed. And he took half the Pack’s guards with him. I had no choice. I took Aria to the island myself. Just as we were about to land, we were attacked by rogues. A silver bullet tore through my daughter. She collapsed in my arms, screaming in pain. I screamed for Kael through our mind link. I called his phone. Nothing. My daughter died. I collapsed into Kael's arms when he finally showed up, sobbing. His eyes were red. "A Pack emergency held me up… I'm so sorry…" I thought he was grieving with me. Until I found his first love, Isabella, curled up in his arms. "You're so clever, Kael," she purred. "Since you never made Selena the official Luna, she had no authority over the guards. She couldn't protect that powerful daughter of hers." Kael kissed her forehead. He soothed her. "Aria's powerful wolf will cure the sickness in your son Leo's spirit. Her death was worth it. And this island… now that Aria's gone, it's the perfect recovery gift for Leo." My wolf howled in grief. My legs gave out. Tears streamed down my face. It was all a plan. He’d planned it all for his first love. I turned my back on him. I severed our mate bond. But then? He dropped to his knees, begging me to forgive him. Fine. I'll forgive him when he brings my poor Aria back. Can he do that?

J'étais une gamine des bas-fonds quand je suis tombée amoureuse de Damon Vitale, le Parrain le plus redouté de Paris. Pendant cinq ans, j'ai été à lui. J'ai encaissé neuf balles pour lui. Il embrassait mes cicatrices pendant que je me vidais de mon sang pour lui. Il me serrait contre lui. Il passait le collier de la reine autour de mon cou. Puis, une fois remise, il me baisait jusqu'à me faire perdre toute notion de moi-même, avec une passion qui donnait l'illusion de l'éternité. Je croyais que nous passerions nos vies ensemble. Je pensais qu'il m'épouserait. Mais lors de notre neuf cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième nuit ensemble, il m'a annoncé qu'il était fiancé. À Bianca, une princesse de la mafia issue d'une famille rivale. J'ai avalé mes larmes. Il s'est contenté de m'attraper par le menton, de souffler la fumée à mon visage et de rire. « Tu n'as quand même pas cru que tu pourrais m'épouser, n'est-ce pas, Nora ? Soyons clairs. On baise. C'est tout. Tu n'es pas une partenaire. Tu es une œuvre d'art que je collectionne. Une chatte qui m'appartient. » Une chatte. C'est tout ce qu'il a jamais voulu que je sois. Alors j'ai attrapé un téléphone jetable. « J'accepte ton offre. Trois jours. Sors-moi de Paris. »

For ten years, Isaac was my fated mate. My Alpha. My future. Then, on the eve of his Alpha Ceremony, he chose another she-wolf to be his Luna, Chloe. His reason? She was wild and free...everything I used to be. "We are FATED MATES!" I screamed, my hand flying to the mark on my neck. "How can you defy the Moon Goddess? How can you just throw me away?" My wolf howled through our bond, trying to make him feel my pain. The backlash should have crippled him. But he didn't even flinch. It wasn't a real mark. Just a lie, painted on with magic. A trick to chain me to his side. My legs gave out. I hit the floor, a raw sob tearing from my throat. When the tears dried, the grief turned to ice. I stormed the Elders' Council and demanded they sever the bond. Then, I did the unthinkable. I chose his cursed uncle, Vincent. Isaac laughed. He thought it was a pathetic game to make him jealous. He had no idea. The Elders had already named his uncle the new Alpha. He didn't understand his mistake until he saw me crowned Luna on Vincent's arm. Only then did he come crawling back, begging for a forgiveness I would never give.

"What's in it for me?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "You become the Alpha of Alphas" she answered, crossing her arms over her chest, holding her stance despite her racing heart. The necklace around her neck glowing under her shirt, catching the Alpha's attention. "And what's in it for you?" He asked, growing a bit more interested in her offer. Eyeing the dim light under her black shirt. "I get my revenge. So, what do you say, Alpha? Do we call it a deal?" She asked, extending her hand to shake. He stared at her hand for a second, before extending his, shaking hers. "Deal, piccolo lupo" he said, tightening his grip "only we'll play this, MY way" ************************* Having lost her family in the hands of Lycans, Lia Elica finds herself seeking help from the one and only, cold, ruthless, and heartless Capo dei Capi, Alpha Ezra D'Caprio...

“Why, Caspian?” Valerie Belmont asked her husband, staring at the divorce papers on the table. “What did I do wrong?” “Sign them, Valerie,” he said, his voice as cold as his icy gaze. Her heart sank as she glanced at her purse, mind racing with thoughts. He watched as she picked up the pen and signed the papers, her hand trembling. “It’s for her, isn’t it?” she asked, ignoring the tight, aching clench in her chest. He didn’t respond, but his silence was all the confirmation she needed. Setting the pen down, she exhaled shakily. “Goodbye, Alpha Caspian…” *************************************** Loyal, devoted, obedient. Valerie Belmont, the daughter of the Pakhan and an Alpha herself, is forced to accept a divorce she never wanted. But when Capo dei Capi, Alpha Caspian Ashford, discovers that she’s carrying his child, their story takes a turn neither of them could have foreseen…

I was born wolf-less. At the academy, Arabella made my life hell for it. By the time I graduated, my wolf finally awakened, gifting me powerful healing abilities. I thought the nightmare was finally over. I met my fated mate Alpha Tristan. He was powerful, gorgeous, and promised me the world. But the day I went to tell Tristan I was pregnant was the day I discovered his devastating lie. It was never Tristan in my bed. It was his twin brother, Ronan. The rogue Alpha who’d abandoned the pack years ago to slum it with humans. He used a scent-mimicker to crawl into my bed, to get me pregnant. It was all a twisted plot to humiliate me on my big day. They wanted revenge for Arabella, who lied and claimed I was the bully. They wanted to crush me. I stormed into the study to confront them. I told them I’d expose everything and demand an apology. Instead, they imprisoned me. They performed a dark ritual, siphoning my wolf into Arabella. They drained my life force and murdered my unborn pup. I died in agony. Then I opened my eyes. I was back on the day I found out I was pregnant. I clutched my belly, a single tear tracing a path down my cheek. Those bastards were going to burn for what they did.
