Crystal Lookism

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.

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.“

Sequel to chasing my estranged wife; I want you back. ******** “ You promised me!’' I screamed. “You promised that you wouldn't hurt me, you made the vows that you would stand beside me, Ryan, and what did you do? You broke me into smithereens. I don't want anything to do with you anymore. When I said we were done. I meant it!” Falling in love with him had come in a whirlwind, she couldn't account for how exactly it had happened but what she knew was that she didn't want to let go once she was in. For Ryan, when he made a vow, he had meant it, but nothing had told him about marriage, that it wasn't just a bed of roses, but it had thorns in it as well.When secrets piled up between them and vows broken, they had no choice but to let go of each other, but years later, he wanted her back. Like the air he breathed, he chased after her, but she was gone. Left with the remnants of his actions, he is torn between getting her back and damning all consequences or letting go of her and his children, which would it be?

Je suis née sans louve intérieure. À l'académie, Arabella m'a fait vivre un enfer à cause de ça. Quand j'ai obtenu mon diplôme, ma louve s'est enfin éveillée, me dotant de puissants pouvoirs de guérison. J'ai cru que le cauchemar était enfin terminé. J'ai rencontré mon âme sœur, l'Alpha Tristan. Il était puissant, magnifique, et m'a promis la lune et les étoiles. Mais le jour où je suis allée annoncer à Tristan que j'étais enceinte, j'ai découvert son terrible mensonge. Ce n'était jamais Tristan dans mon lit. C'était son frère jumeau, Ronan. L'Alpha renégat qui avait abandonné la tribu des années plus tôt pour vivre parmi les humains. Ronan a utilisé un imitateur d'odeur pour se glisser dans mon lit, pour me rendre enceinte. Tout n'était qu'un complot pour m'humilier le jour le plus important. Ils voulaient se venger d'Arabella, qui avait menti et m'avait accusée de l'avoir harcelée. Ils voulaient me détruire. J'ai fait irruption dans le bureau pour les affronter. Je leur ai dit que j'allais tout révéler et exiger des excuses. Cependant, ils m'ont emprisonnée. Ils ont accompli un rituel obscur, transférant ma louve vers Arabella. Ils ont drainé ma force vitale et tué mon petit à naître. Je suis morte dans d'atroces souffrances. Puis j'ai ouvert les yeux. J'étais de retour au jour où j'avais découvert que j'étais enceinte. Je serrais mon ventre contre moi, une larme coulant sur ma joue. Ces salauds allaient payer pour ce qu'ils avaient fait.

For eight years, Elara Voss was the perfect ghost. She scrubbed floors, cooked silent meals, and endured the biting scorns of her husband, Ryan, and their eldest daughter, Chloe. To them, she was a boring housewife. A servant. An embarrassment to Ryan’s rising social status. They had no idea that the woman they belittled was Elara Hamilton, the reclusive titan behind Hamilton Global, the world’s most powerful tech empire. She had traded her throne for a marriage she thought was built on love. She was wrong. The breaking point comes at a high-society gala. In front of the city’s elite, Ryan publicly discards her, calling her a worthless weight around his neck. He thinks he is finally free. He doesn't realize he just declared war on the woman who secretly funded his entire life. That night, the housewife vanished. The CEO returns. Within forty-eight hours, Ryan’s world implodes. His contracts are canceled, his bank accounts are drained, and his reputation is in ashes. As the global markets reel from the return of the "Iron Queen," Ryan is forced to face a terrifying truth: he didn't just lose a wife. He lost the only person keeping him relevant. Now, Ryan is a man with nothing, chasing a woman who has everything. From the neon lights of Tokyo to the boardrooms of Manhattan, he must grovel at the feet of the woman he once stepped on. But Elara is no longer the devoted wife who stayed for the sake of the family. She is a queen reclaiming her crown, and this time, Ryan will have to prove he is finally worthy of the woman who no longer needs him to survive.

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…

College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires from a young age. Fascinated, however, doesn't mean Leesa believes in their existence any more than she believes in the Volkaanes, people who are said to live for centuries and whose kiss is lethal to both vampires and humans. But when her beloved older brother suddenly disappears, she is forced to confront all these and more. She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot, so why won't he kiss her? As Leesa draws closer to finding her brother, she faces some gut-wrenching decisions. Should she risk her mom's life trying to "cure" her? Should she continue seeing Rave, after he reveals his dangerous secret? And most terrifying of all, should she make the ultimate sacrifice — give up her humanity to save her brother?

“Let me leave!” She yelled, trying to fight off the men who held her down. “I am not going to…” “You are the Alpha’s property now.” They said, silencing her. “Only HE will decide what is to be of you…” ************************** There is one place in the world where you enter a slave and turn into a Luna. And that place is the Alpha’s estate. The Estate where dreams and nightmares can come true. For they say, it is you who draws your fate when it comes to the harem. For it can be both your heaven or hell. But what fate can one draw when they are claimed as slaves? It is the question that Alexandra asked as she came face to face with none other than her mate. The Alpha of Alphas. Alpha Damien…

As the heir to the North's most powerful pack, I must choose my mate from the three rival Alphas. My heart had already chosen. Alpha Ethan. He was my destiny. Our mate bond was a roaring fire, impossible to ignore. But just days before the Mating Ceremony, we were ambushed by rogues. Everything went black. When I woke up, a new wolf was howling in my soul. Nyx. She claimed to be from my past life. And she was screaming in my head, begging me not to choose Ethan. "He'll kill you! Him and that bitch Clara. They'll steal everything you have! Arthur is the one you have to choose!" Arthur? The cursed Alpha doomed to die before he turns twenty-five?

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.
