Crystal Shoes

Ich wurde in dem Jahr wiedergeboren, in dem der Vampirkrieg ausbrach. Meine erste Tat: Ich machte den Welpen los. Den Welpen meines Gefährten. Des Alphas Lucas. In meinem letzten Leben deckte er seine Jugendfreundin Sarah, als sie sich mit einem Vampir verpaart hatte. Er nahm meinen reinblütigen Welpen und tauschte ihn gegen ihr halbblutiges Mischlingskind aus. Sie brandmarkten mich als Verräterin. In einem silbernen Verlies quälten sie mich zu Tode. Mein eigener Sohn — von Sarah gegen mich aufgehetzt und verbogen — stand über meiner Leiche und wünschte mir, ich möge in der Hölle verderben. Als ich wieder die Augen aufschlug, war ich drei Monate schwanger. Ich zögerte nicht. Ich ging direkt zur Hütte der Hexe und trank das Gift, das sie mir gegeben hatte. Als mir das Leben entwich, öffnete ich eine weitere Flasche: einen teuren Täuschungstrank. Er täuscht den Herzschlag eines Welpen vor. Er verbreitet den Geruch einer schwangeren Frau. Lucas braucht ein Kind, das für Sarahs Verbrechen herhalten muss. Gut dann. Ich werde ihn täuschen. Dieses Mal habe ich keine Schwäche.

Mon compagnon destiné, Dexter, est devenu le roi Alpha lorsque son frère est mort. Il a hérité de la couronne, du pouvoir… et de la compagne veuve de son frère, Jenica. Tout cela parce que moi, une hybride, n'avais pas réussi pendant des années à lui donner un héritier de sang pur. Il m'a dit qu'il devait marquer Jenica, et la douleur m'a presque brisée. Mais il m'a serrée contre lui, a embrassé mes larmes et a juré que son loup, son destin, ne m'avait choisie que moi. Que je serais toujours sa seule et unique Luna. Je lui ai cru. Et pourtant, il passait encore toutes les nuits dans le lit de Jenica. Puis, Jenica est tombée enceinte. Alors que la meute célébrait, Dexter m'a forcée à quitter la suite de la Luna, uniquement pour que son petit soit né dans l'aura lunaire la plus pure de la meute. Alors que je sentais notre lien se déliter fil par fil douloureusement, j'ai envoyé un message codé à un ami dans le monde des humains. « Dans quatre jours, fais-moi sortir. » Cette nuit-là, j'ai fait un choix. Mon temps en tant que sa compagne était terminé.

“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…

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.
