Damien Priest Height

Lira is the weakest Omega of the Moonblessed pack, where wolves are blessed with special gifts under the full moon. She failed to shift and this has made her an outcast. When war breaks out against their sworn enemy, the ruthless Alpha Damien of Blackthorne pack, the Moonblessed pack are defeated. To save themselves they agree to his demand of a sacrifice. Lira's father does the unthinkable and condemns her to death before the pack. Worst of all, it is her own mate Ronin who offers her up as a sacrifice. Betrayed by her father and pack, Lira thinks she is destined to die. But exile from her pack leads her into the arms of Alpha Damien, a man whose love she doesn't expect. He marks her, unlocking the gifts that are buried deep within her, revealing the strength of a powerful Luna. Will she use her new found power to take revenge on the pack that left her for dead or will she uncover a darker truth about herself that would cost her everything she has just gained?

Three years after Alpha King Damien Caldwell marks me, Drake Whitaker finally remembers I exist. Turns out he really believes I'll "wait for him forever." Twenty black SUVs clog the private road into Ridgefield pack territory, trunks crammed with moonstone jewelry, old talismans, and rare herbs. Drake steps out of the tricked-out Hummer, wearing a smug smile and clutching a stack of parchment contracts. "Aria," he calls up, like some medieval knight, "I told you once the Silvermoon Coalition was official and Kenneth's supply lines were stable, I'd bring you to my pack. "The High Council finalized five packs yesterday. I came first thing this morning to show you I mean it." I sit in the upstairs study, watching a video Damien just sent of him playing with our son, then glance through the blinds at the ridiculous scene unfolding below. Drake lifts his face toward the second floor. "I know you're upset, but Kenneth controls the biggest timber in the Eastvale region. I had to mark Isabella. It was politics. You get that. Feelings don't need a mark anyway. I'll treat you better than a Luna." His words made my skin crawl. I pressed the intercom button on the desk. "Clear the drive. Tell security someone's trespassing." What a day! I've just taken my son to the medical center for his one-month checkup. Damien sends me back to Ridgefield pack for a week to rest. Instead, I get this mess on my doorstep.

Seraphina Ashford was born to kill supernatural creatures. A deadly assassin, she had spent years hunting vampires and werewolves, wiping them out without mercy. But beneath her ruthless exterior lay a woman who had suffered too much, a former wolf now trapped in a human body. By day, she lived as a high school teacher, blending into the human world. By night, she was a relentless predator, taking revenge on the creatures who destroyed her life. She despised them—every last one. But fate was cruel. On a school trip deep in the forest, her world shattered when she met *him*. Damien Alexander Blackwood. Alpha of the Blood Eclipse Pack. A monster feared by all. He was not just a wolf—he was a hybrid, a deadly fusion of vampire and werewolf, making him nearly unstoppable. His pack was infamous for their brutality, treating mates as nothing more than possessions. Damien was the worst of them all, a merciless ruler who crushed anyone who defied him. And now, Seraphina was his mate. She hated him. She wanted him dead. But Damien did not accept rejection. He wanted her—body, mind, and soul—and he would have her. When she defied him, he bared his fangs. When she resisted, he found a way to break her. And when she shut her eyes to avoid his hypnotic gaze, he forced them open. A sharp pain tore through her neck as his fangs sank deep, sealing her fate. Her blood coated his lips, his crimson eyes locking onto hers with a victorious smirk. She had fallen into his trap. And now, she knew—there was no escape. She was his. Forever.

Acababa de aparearme con mi compañero, el Alfa Damien, cuando él trajo a la manada a una huérfana para pagar una "deuda de vida". Desde ese día, pasé a un segundo plano frente a la loba, Lila. Siempre. Lila me tendió una trampa, afirmando que la obligué a perder el control de su loba. Por eso, Damien me encerró en las celdas de plata durante tres días y tres noches. —¡La plata te enseñará a cómo ser una Luna tolerante! El envenenamiento por plata es tortura. Mi loba se marchitó. Supliqué por misericordia, ahogándome en la agonía. Lila simplemente se acurrucó contra él, con su voz destilando una preocupación falsa. —Serena es tu compañera, después de todo. Cuando ella siente dolor, tú sientes dolor. Me duele verte sufrir. Más tarde, para hacer feliz a Lila, Damien le entregó públicamente mi asiento en el Consejo de la manada, a ella, una loba que no sabía nada. Esa vez, no dije nada. Simplemente corté nuestro vínculo de compañeros. Días después, mientras él se retorcía en la agonía de nuestro vínculo roto, finalmente escuchó las noticias. Yo me había unido a la unidad de élite de la realeza, The Talons. Y nunca iba a regresar. Él se hizo pedazos.

Eu tinha acabado de formar o vínculo de companheiros com meu companheiro destinado, Alfa Damien, quando ele trouxe para casa uma órfã para pagar uma “dívida de vida”. A partir daquele dia, eu sempre fiquei em segundo lugar. Atrás da garota, Lila. Sempre. Lila me incriminou, alegando que eu a tinha forçado a perder o controle da sua loba. Por causa disso, Damien me trancou nas celas de prata por três dias e três noites. — A prata vai te ensinar a ser uma Luna tolerante! O envenenamento por prata é uma tortura. Minha loba definhou. Eu implorei por misericórdia, afogando-me em agonia. Enquanto isso, Lila apenas se aninhava ao lado dele, com a voz pingando falsa preocupação. — Serena é sua companheira, afinal. Quando ela sente dor, você sente dor. Dói em mim ver você sofrer. Mais tarde, para fazer Lila feliz, Damien publicamente entregou a ela o meu assento no Conselho da Alcateia — a uma garota que não sabia absolutamente nada. Desta vez, eu não disse nada. Eu apenas rompi nosso vínculo de companheiros. Dias depois, enquanto ele se contorcia na agonia do nosso vínculo rompido, ele finalmente ouviu a notícia. Eu havia me juntado à unidade de elite real, The Talons. E eu nunca mais voltaria. Ele desmoronou.

I moaned out his name. "Damien, you are not trying hard to get me, yet .." He smirked and whispered to my ears. "I like being hard, Not "trying" hard." His hand grazed mine, sending a shiver straight to places I didn’t know I could feel. Damien’s smirk was wicked, his eyes dark with desire, and my body betrayed me with every glance. I wanted him, yet my heart longed for someone gentler, someone who could love me without burning me alive. Ethan’s soft voice behind me made my chest ache, reminding me there was a different way to feel alive...a way that felt safe, tender, and real. Torn between lust and love, every heartbeat became my dangerous game.” *** When Lila Sinclair’s mother is sentenced to life in prison, her world collapses. The only person who can take her in is her mother’s past lover, Sebastian Blackwood; a wealthy, commanding man with a family of his own. Adopted temporarily into his household, Lila finds herself living with two stepbrothers who will change her life forever: Damien, the dark, irresistible older brother who ignites every forbidden desire...and Ethan, the sweet, caring younger brother who makes her heart feel at home.But time is against her. Her adoption isn’t legal, and after one year, Lila must marry one of them to remain in the country. With 365 nights of temptation, passion, and secrets ahead, she must choose between the fire of lust and the warmth of love, knowing that every choice could shatter her world...

Zusammenfassung Eleanor Hayes hatte alles – Reichtum, Eleganz und eine perfekte Ehe. Oder so schien es zumindest. An ihrem sechsten Hochzeitstag demütigt ihr Ehemann Marcus Hayes sie öffentlich, lässt sich vor der Elite von New York von ihr scheiden und stellt dabei seine Geliebte Cassandra Steele zur Schau. Als „verstoßene Ehefrau“ gebrandmarkt, verschwindet Eleanor aus der Öffentlichkeit – doch sie ist alles andere als besiegt. Was Marcus nicht weiß: Eleanor ist die Tochter von Alexander Hartwell, dem reichsten Mann Amerikas, und sein Imperium wurde durch die stille Unterstützung ihres Vaters aufgebaut. Entschlossen, ihre Macht zurückzuerlangen, kehrt Eleanor als eine ernstzunehmende Kraft zurück und nutzt ihre verborgene Expertise in der Cybersicherheit, um Marcus’ Leben Stück für Stück zu zerstören. Ihr Weg der Rache nimmt eine unerwartete Wendung, als sie Damien Blackwood begegnet, einem zurückgezogen lebenden Milliardär mit einem gefährlichen Ruf. Gezwungen, eine Scheinehe einzugehen, um einen riskanten Geschäftsdeal zu sichern, bewegen sich Eleanor und Damien durch ein Geflecht aus Täuschung, Verführung und Geheimnissen. Doch Damien ist mehr, als er zu sein scheint. Er steht in Verbindung mit Der Schleier, einer geheimnisvollen globalen Organisation, von der Eleanors Vater enthüllt, dass sie dazu bestimmt ist, sie eines Tages zu führen. Während Eleanor Marcus’ Verbrechen und Cassandras Intrigen aufdeckt, entdeckt sie ihre eigene verborgene Identität und die Macht, die sie schon immer in sich trug. Während Marcus ihren Untergang plant, Cassandra giftige Angriffe startet und die Feinde von Der Schleier näher rücken, muss Eleanor eine Entscheidung treffen: Damien vertrauen und ihr Schicksal annehmen – oder sich abwenden und ihren eigenen Weg gehen. In einem Strudel aus Verrat, Rache und Erlösung erhebt sich Eleanor aus den Trümmern ihres zerstörten Lebens, um ihren rechtmäßigen Platz einzunehmen – nicht als verstoßene Ehefrau, sondern als Königin aus eigener Kraft.

L’amour n’est jamais une ligne droite. Il est capricieux, imprévisible, parfois cruel, souvent brûlant. Il naît dans les endroits les plus inattendus, entre des âmes qui n’étaient pas censées se rencontrer, ou qui, au contraire, semblaient destinées l’une à l’autre. Mais que vaut le destin face au désir ? Sophie n’avait jamais cherché à tomber amoureuse. Séductrice par nature, elle savait jouer avec les cœurs sans jamais se laisser piéger. Mais Damien… Damien était différent. Il l’attirait autant qu’il la déroutait. Entre eux, c’était un jeu d’attirance et de provocation, un ballet enivrant où aucun des deux ne voulait céder le premier. Pourtant, quelque chose de plus profond se dessinait sous leurs joutes taquines, quelque chose d’inavouable… quelque chose qui effrayait Sophie autant que Damien lui-même. Elena, elle, pensait avoir trouvé l’amour aux côtés de Lucas. Doux, attentionné, toujours là pour elle. Mais alors pourquoi son cœur battait-il différemment lorsqu’elle croisait Damien ? Pourquoi cette envie dévorante de lui appartenir, même si elle savait qu’il ne lui était pas destiné ? Et Lucas… Lucas, fidèle et patient, se trouvait soudain face à une réalité qu’il n’avait jamais envisagée : l’amour ne suffisait pas toujours. Son cœur blessé allait-il s’accrocher à une femme qui ne pouvait l’aimer pleinement, ou s’ouvrir à l’inconnu, à une autre possibilité, un autre avenir ? Dans cette histoire, les cœurs s’égarent, les corps s’attirent, les âmes se tourmentent. Entre passion et raison, entre interdits et tentations, chacun devra faire un choix. Car au bout du chemin, une seule vérité demeure : l’amour est une flamme indomptable… et personne n’en ressort indemne.

Quand Élise, une oméga endetté aux yeux de saphir, rencontre Damien, le milliardaire alpha le plus redouté de Wall Street, leur compatibilité explosive débouche sur un contrat scandaleux : 10 millions pour un an de compagnie. Mais peut-on vraiment contrôler son cœur ?

BLURB Olivia Chen signed a contract to play wife to a grieving CEO for two years. The job was simple: help his traumatized son heal, then disappear when the time was up. But Damien Ross made one thing clear—she would never replace his perfect dead wife. She tried to accept that. Until he brought a surrogate into their home to carry his late wife's child, making it clear Olivia was just a temporary stand-in. When the contract expired, Olivia left without a word—and without telling him about the baby she carried. Five years later, Damien tracks her down with a desperate plea. His son is dying, and only Olivia's daughter—the child he never knew existed, can save him. He claims he's a changed man. That he finally sees what he lost. But Olivia isn't the naive woman who signed that contract. And this time, she holds all the cards.
