Nací sin espíritu de loba, una carencia que Arabella aprovechó para convertir mis años en la academia en un auténtico infierno. No fue sino hasta mi graduación que mi loba finalmente despertó, dotándome de un poder de curación excepcional; en ese momento, creí ingenuamente que mis pesadillas habían terminado. Fue entonces cuando conocí a mi compañero predestinado, Tristan, el Alfa imponente y poderoso que me prometió el cielo y las estrellas. Sin embargo, la misma tarde que planeaba anunciarle mi embarazo, la verdad me golpeó con una crueldad devastadora. Quien compartía mi lecho no era Tristan, sino su hermano gemelo, Ronan; aquel Alfa errante que años atrás había renunciado a la manada para arrastrarse entre los humanos. Se valió de un bloqueador de aroma para infiltrarse en mi habitación y embarazarme, orquestando un plan retorcido diseñado únicamente para pisotear mi dignidad en mi gran día. Buscaban venganza por Arabella, quien me había acusado falsamente de acosarla con tal de destruir mi reputación. Cegada por la rabia, irrumpí en el estudio dispuesta a desenmascararlos y exigir una disculpa; en lugar de eso, fui encerrada. Mediante un ritual de magia negra, me despojaron de mi loba para entregársela a Arabella. Sentí cómo drenaban mi esencia vital y arrebataban la vida de mi pequeño antes de que pudiera nacer, sumiéndome en una agonía que acabó por consumirme. De pronto, abrí los ojos. Me encontraba de nuevo en el día en que descubrí mi embarazo. Me llevé las manos al vientre mientras una lágrima recorría mi mejilla; esos miserables iban a arder por lo que me hicieron.

Her downfall came hours after her birthday when she found out that she was the mate of the very monster she hunted.A father, tormented by the grief of the past, could do nothing until he found someone like-minded and formed the Alliance to fight those who took away the love of his life. He fought behind the screen while his daughter did what he never could - she killed the big bad wolf. The years passed, and she followed her father's vision until an ill-advised mission led her to imprisonment under the command of an Alpha. Little did Enya know that misfortune would reveal too many secrets. Will Enya ever find herself in a tangle of lies, or will she perish with those who led her astray?

After the death of the Alpha couple, Olivia had to face the ruthless truth about her upbringing. With nothing left to hold her down, she ran to escape the memories that weren't hers. But this time, she didn't run with nothing; she ran with his mark burning as deep as her soul. *** The crowd of wolves gasped in horror. Some screamed, and many women burst into tears while their Alpha licked the blood from Olivia's skin. Olivia shivered when his disgusting lips left her neck. Noah's hand ran through her hair, grabbing a fistful of her snow-white curls; he pulled her against his body and whispered, "Good luck avoiding me now, rogue." ***

Once upon a time, I believed all Alphas were as sick and twisted as my adoptive father, but the Vincent triplets proved me wrong. Because of them, for a moment, I believed I had a chance at happiness, a real family, and a brighter future. However, while we excitedly expected our own child and reunited the packs, the forces of evil watched over each step we took. The greatest happiness turned into a nightmare. We're risking so much, putting so many lives at stake, and I fear our attempts might fade into nothingness. Perhaps I'm asking for too much. My utopian family never existed, and it never would. Everything will crumble and fall before my eyes, and there will be nothing I can do to stop the damnation- the same as I can't stop him from leaving me. BOOK TWO IN THE ALPHAS SERIES can be read as a stand-alone, but for a better understanding, I highly recommend you read book one first. The series: Caught by the Alphas Claimed by the Alphas

Ma famille a été attaquée par des loups sauvages lorsque nous avons pénétré sur leur territoire. Ma louve a été gravement blessée, et finalement, c'était moi qui ai sauvé tout le monde. Alors que je m'effondrais, épuisée, personne n'est venu vers moi, ils ont tous couru vers ma sœur adoptive, Félicie, en se souciant de quelques égratignures superficielles. Lorsque les membres de la meute m'ont transportée à l'infirmerie, le guérisseur m'a annoncé la terrible nouvelle : ma louve avait été frappée par un poignard d'argent et que le petit d'un mois que je portais dans mon ventre ne survivrait pas. Pourtant, mon compagnon, Luc, a donné à Félicie le seul traitement qui pouvait sauver la vie. N'ayant pas d'autre choix, j'ai refusé les remèdes du guérisseur et j'ai soulagé la douleur de ma louve avec des herbes rudimentaires, sachant que cela ne nous donnerait que trois jours avant la mort. Au cours de ces derniers jours, j'ai tout laissé aller. J'ai donné à Félicie toutes mes possessions et l'argent de l'assurance, tandis que mes parents souriaient en signe d'approbation. J'ai signé sans hésiter l'accord de rupture de lien que Luc m'a glissé sur la table. Luc était satisfait, convaincu que j'étais attentionnée. Kévin, mon frère, a hoché la tête lorsque je lui ai dit de donner ma chambre à Félicie. Même mon fils Jérémie, quand je lui ai demandé d'appeler Félicie « maman », s'est écrié joyeusement. Personne ne m'a demandé pourquoi j'avais donné toutes mes affaires à Félicie, et leurs regards approbateurs en disaient long : « Bien. L'ancienne Emmanuelle est de retour. » Mais à mesure que le temps passait, une pensée me hantait : « Quand ils trouveront nos corps, celui de ma louve et celui de mon petit à naître, cette satisfaction se transformera-t-elle en regret ? »

I fought with my husband, Alessio, the Don of the Moretti family, over the mistress who'd given him twin sons. The next day, he stormed into my bedroom and put a gun to my head. "Did you take my sons?! You vicious bitch!" While I was still in shock, he ordered his men to lock my eight-year-old daughter, Lucia, in the icehouse for three whole days of "training." He gave me an ultimatum: Lucia would stay there until I brought him his sons. Lucia froze to death in that icehouse. I returned with her death certificate in my hand, my heart a hollow stone in my chest, only to find him moving his mistress and their sons into the home we once shared. He was cheerful, dismissing the whole thing as a misunderstanding. He even had the audacity to tell me to go get Lucia to meet her "new little brothers." I just stared, tears tracking paths down my face, the life inside me extinguished. It wasn't until that thin piece of paper—the death certificate—fluttered to the floor that the color drained from Alessio's face. He finally realized Lucia was gone. Killed by his own blind, cruel pride.

I was Alpha Damon’s Head Beta. For six years, I had been his partner in bed and his second-in-command. When he announced our mating ceremony, the entire pack celebrated. My dream was finally within reach. But then, outside his private trophy room, I heard him bragging about his “Luna trials.” And just like that, I learned the truth. I wasn’t his one and only. I was one of thirty candidates. He’d spent a month with each of us, grading our bodies, our submission, our performance. My score? Lower than an Omega’s. Lower than Lydia’s. “Fucking Lydia was incredible,” he boasted. “I could barely pull myself away. Then I look at Elysia—so stiff, so in control—and I’m just… bored.” Ice flooded my veins. My body went numb. Six years of devotion. Countless nights tangled in his sheets. It all meant less than a cheap thrill and a wolf who knew how to kneel. My heartbreak hardened into ice. I sent a message to an Alpha who had wanted me long ago. “Adrian, you once said your offer to mate was a standing one. Does it still stand? Damon and I are over now.”

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."

My blood ran cold. Not just because of the words, they’d done worse than the scheme. They mocked me. Rewrote my pain as a punchline. Danced on the grave of my dignity like it was confetti. I staggered back from the door, suddenly aware of how my hands were trembling. Of how my chest rose and fell like I was still being dragged underwater. I could still feel it, the betrayal. The nights I cried myself sick. The baby. The blood. The gaslighting. The cold stares. The silence. No, this wasn’t just a memory. It was a resurrection. I pressed my hand to my chest, grounding myself. This body? This moment? It was mine now. Not theirs. Not his. If this was a curse, I’d break it. If this was a second chance? I’d weaponize it. Let them laugh. Let them bask in their borrowed joy. Because from this moment on, I’m not playing the quiet, obedient pawn. I’m the storm they tried to silence. The reckoning wrapped in silk and scars. They don’t deserve peace. Not after what they did to me. I’ll make them feel it. The same agony, the same betrayal. No, worse. Double. And the Kensingtons? Oh, they won’t be spared either. Their blood's just as soaked in my suffering. I lived by their rules in my last life. In this one? They live by mine. And mercy? Yeah, I left that behind in the last timeline.

My fated mate, Riven, was the Alpha of a pathetic pack on the brink of collapse. For five years, I was his shadow, his strategist. I built his pack from nothing until the Alliance finally recognized us, and we were set to move to the fertile lands. Riven promised we'd have our mating ceremony once we settled in the new territory. But at the celebration feast, the night before the move, he threw me in a cell. He publicly announced that Jenna—the she-wolf carrying his pup—would be the pack's Luna. I couldn't believe it. I screamed at him, but he just sneered and pointed to a crystal pulsing with dark magic. "Jenna already has proof of your betrayal! Sleeping with Alphas for their support. You make me sick!" I begged him. But he just sliced my cheek with the silver-edged rejection letter, formally casting me aside. But he didn't know who I really was. I am the Alpha King's daughter. The strategies, the power, the alliances—they weren't his. They were mine. So I took it all back.
