Minha melhor amiga, Maya, veio de Miami para passar a semana da minha despedida de solteira. Meus últimos dias de liberdade. Ela insistiu numa noite só de garotas para comemorar, pedindo todos os meus pratos favoritos por entrega. Ela me pediu para segurar o celular dela e esperar. Então o telefone acendeu. Uma mensagem de algum cara. Uma foto sem camisa. Texto: Preciso de você hoje à noite. Outra foto chegou em seguida. Brinquedos sexuais. Equipamentos de bondage, como saídos de um filme. Meu rosto queimava. Meu coração martelava contra as costelas. Eu tinha acabado de tropeçar na vida secreta dela. Mas a imagem seguinte fez meu sangue gelar. Um close no peito do homem. Uma cicatriz irregular que eu conhecia melhor do que o meu próprio reflexo. Pertencia ao meu noivo, Luciano Carbone.

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."

Suamiku, Darius Fontana, punya 99 kekasih. Akulah putri mafia yang diincar para lelaki hingga mereka rela mati. Di hari kami bersama, semua orang di sekitar kami bertaruh. Mereka bilang kami tidak akan bertahan tiga bulan. Namun kemudian, semuanya berubah. Demi aku, Darius menghapus semua kontak di ponselnya, membangun rumah mewah yang dilengkapi kebun mawar, dan berlutut di hadapanku. Lalu di malam pertama kami, dia bilang dia menginginkan pernikahan terbuka. "Tubuh kita boleh bermain-main," katanya. "Tapi kesetiaan kita hanya untuk kita berdua." Aku pun menyetujuinya. Lalu, datanglah kekasihnya yang ke-100, Shanti Rasyid. Shanti mengkhianati keluarga kami dalam perjanjian jual beli senjata. Ayahku hampir terbunuh karenanya. Namun, Darius melindungi wanita itu. Dia bahkan membawa wanita itu untuk tinggal di rumah kami. Jadi, aku melakukan apa yang akan dilakukan seorang putri mafia yang patah hati. Aku mabuk dan terbangun di ranjang pria lain. Aku hanya tidak menyangka kalau pria itu adalah paman Darius.

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.

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…

Mi hermana me envenenó. Todo porque su compañero del destino no le llegaba ni a los talones al mío. Ahora estoy de vuelta en el lugar donde todo comenzó. En la ceremonia de unión, hace cinco años. En mi vida anterior, Sarah y yo elegimos a nuestros compañeros en la gala de la Alianza de Manadas. Sarah eligió a Damon, el Alfa más poderoso y futuro líder de la Alianza. Pero nunca pudo darle un cachorro. Damon la despreciaba. La maltrataba. Incluso se volvía salvaje cuando perdía el control por su maldición y estuvo a punto de matarla. Me empujó hacia Liam, el Alfa de una manada en decadencia. Sarah nunca se imaginó que el poder de Liam estallaría, ni que un día le arrebataría el título de Gran Alfa a Damon. Entonces, el día de la coronación de Liam, Sarah me envenenó por puros celos. Abrí los ojos de nuevo. Estábamos otra vez en la ceremonia de elección de compañeros. Sarah habló con firmeza frente a todos los invitados. —Elijo a Liam. A mí me empujaron hacia Damon, su excompañero. Pero en ese momento escuché su grito interno. “Muérete, Elena. ¡Solo muérete! Tú y ese lobo rabioso de Damon pueden irse al diablo juntos. Liam será el Gran Alfa de todos modos y yo seré la Luna suprema”. Pero yo solo sonreí con burla mientras caía en los brazos de Damon. Sarah no tenía idea. El “compañero perfecto” que había elegido ya estaba planeando cómo devorarle hasta el alma.

Mi mejor amiga, Maya, voló desde Miami para la semana de mi despedida de soltera. Eran mis últimos días de libertad. Insistió en organizar una noche de chicas para celebrar y pidió toda mi comida favorita a domicilio. Me pidió que le cuidara el celular y esperara un momento. Entonces, la pantalla se iluminó. Era un mensaje de un hombre. Una foto sin camisa. “Mi arma está lista para ti esta noche”. Llegó otra foto vibrando. Juguetes sexuales. Accesorios de bondage que parecían sacados de una película. Sentí que la cara me ardía. El corazón me latía descontrolado contra las costillas. Acababa de tropezarme con su vida secreta. Pero la siguiente imagen me cortó la respiración. Era un primer plano del pecho del hombre. Tenía una cicatriz que yo conocía mejor que mi reflejo. Era de mi prometido, Luciano Carbone.

The century-long war was over. My sister and I were the Alpha's daughters. The strongest pack in the North. We were forced into a marriage alliance with the Evernight vampire kingdom. A witch prophesied a powerful hybrid would be born to our family. A child destined to be king. Soon, my sister and I were both pregnant. I didn't care about giving birth to the prophesied ruler. I just wanted my child to be safe and healthy. But I never expected what happened. My sister, Liliana, gave birth to the hybrid king. Her mate, the first prince, Damien, was immediately named Crown Prince. And me? I gave birth to a monster. A beast born in its feral wolf form, all fangs and fury. I was branded unclean. My mate, the second prince Kael, was executed for my "sin." Burned to ash. Only in my last moments did I learn the truth. The monster my sister had swapped for mine? It was hers. It was all a scheme. A plot she and Damien hatched to hide a defect in his bloodline and steal the throne. When I opened my eyes again, I was back. Back before everything went to hell. And my sister was walking toward me, a smile on her face, a glass of juice in her hand…
