Desires Die Hard Novel

Ich hatte zugestimmt, mit Lucien die Zentrale Wolfsakademie zu verlassen. Weil er behauptet hatte, dort schikaniert zu werden. Mit achtzehn noch immer ohne Erwachen war er an einer Akademie, an der Blutlinie und Stärke über allem standen, von Anfang an ein Außenseiter. Also flehte er mich an, mit ihm zu gehen und an eine gewöhnlichere Schule zu wechseln, an der Herkunft nicht über das ganze Leben entschied. Einen Tag bevor wir die Versetzung endgültig festmachen wollten, suchte ich ihn auf. Kaum stand ich vor der Tür, hörte ich drinnen Stimmen. Einer seiner Beta-Gefährten lachte spöttisch auf. „Respekt, Lucien. Du hast ihr echt vorgespielt, dass man dich an der Zentralen Akademie schikaniert, nur damit sie für dich von dort verschwindet.“ Eine andere Stimme klang zögernd. „Ihr seid schließlich zusammen aufgewachsen. Willst du sie wirklich einfach so gehen lassen?“ Lucien antwortete ohne zu zögern. Seine Stimme klang gelassen, beinahe amüsiert. „Sie geht ja nicht sonst wohin. Ihr wird schon nichts passieren.“ Dann wurde seine Stimme kälter. „Seit wir Kinder sind, hängt sie an mir wie ein Schatten. Langsam ging sie mir auf die Nerven. So werde ich sie auf einmal los. Ist doch praktisch.“ Ich stürmte nicht hinein, um ihn zur Rede zu stellen. Ich drehte mich einfach um und ging. Zurück in meinem Zimmer öffnete ich den Versetzungsantrag noch einmal. Ich strich den Namen der gewöhnlichen Werwolf-Akademie, die er angeblich so dringend brauchte, und trug stattdessen den Namen jener Schule ein, auf die meine Eltern schon vor Jahren bestanden hatten. Offenbar hatten alle eine Sache vergessen. Ich bin die einzige Erbin des Blutmond-Rudels. Lucien ist nichts weiter als der geduldete uneheliche Sohn des Silberkamm-Alphas. Ohne eine offizielle Bindung an mich würde er in diesem Leben niemals den Alpha-Thron besteigen. Eines Tages würde er begreifen, dass er nicht nur meine Zuneigung von sich gestoßen hatte.

In der Nacht vor meiner Hochzeit zerbrach mein Leben auf die brutalste Weise. Ich kam früher nach Hause als erwartet und fand den Mann, den ich heiraten wollte, im Bett mit meiner eigenen Cousine. Verraten, gedemütigt und mit gebrochenem Herzen rannte ich davon — ohne zu wissen, wohin ich gehen sollte. In derselben Nacht führte mich das Schicksal zu einem mächtigen, unantastbaren Mann mit kalter Ausstrahlung und einem gefährlichen Blick: seinem Chef, einem gefürchteten und hoch angesehenen CEO. Was als ein einziger Fehler begann, wurde zu einem Wendepunkt, den ich niemals rückgängig machen konnte.

(Completed) He rolls his eyes, "Quit acting like you aren't absolutely aware of everything you have been doing with your eyes for a while now." "I'm not," I insist, my eyes trying to stay focused on him "lusting over you is different from doing the deed, and I haven't forgotten what you have done." He makes his way over to me and stops only when his body is a few inches away from mine and I can literally feel the heat coming off of his as I try to stay still. "Then punish me, chain or tie me up, whip me with whips, slap me, kick me, scream and call me names if you want and take your frustration out on me. Let me try to make it up."

I was eighteen when I left Italy for Chicago. My brother Leo handed me over to his most powerful ally for “protection.” Don Damien Volkov. His eyes locked on me the first time we met. They never looked away. By day, I was his private doctor. By night, I was the only thing in his bed. His seduction was a slow, deliberate hunt. The way his body brushed against mine during an exam. A stray kiss that landed behind my ear. The weight of his hand resting on the small of my back. I fell fast and hard for his dark charm. I gave myself to him, letting him claim me, again and again. For four years, our affair was a secret hidden in the shadows. In that time, he sculpted my body, teaching it to crave his touch, molding me into his perfect obsession. Then she came back. Isabella, his exiled ex-fiancée. He sent his private jet for her. I swallowed my pride and crashed his reunion. An hour ago, his hands, still smelling of blood, gripped my chin. He forced his kiss on me. But now, right in front of me, he was stroking another woman's hair. "Elara, you're the one who climbed into my bed four years ago." "You act like a whore, but you expect me to treat you like a Donna?" The way he looked at Isabella was so tender. The way he looked at me was pure scorn. Shame burned through me. Head down, I sent my brother a coded text. Accept the Moretti proposal. I looked up. A smile bloomed on my face. "Fine. Then this is goodbye, Damien."

“She is our mate. We’d like to see who dares to touch her!” The words seemed to ring in the air, fierce and absolute, as if marking me with a shield stronger than any I could ever forge. In that moment, I could feel their possessiveness, their fierce loyalty weaving into a protective wall around me. My heart hammered wildly, torn between the thrill of safety and the overwhelming realization of what lay between us. That, and fear. — Fiona never asked to be different. Born an omega, she was left orphaned, only to be adopted by the Luna of a powerful pack. What should have been a blessing quickly turned into a nightmare. For years, she was tormented by four alphas—Jin, Lyn, Soren, and Kai—each stronger, fiercer, and more unrelenting than the last. Their presence became a dark shadow over her life, teaching her to live with her head bowed low and her spirit all but shattered. But when a scandal erupts, threatening the four alphas' status, they’re forced into exile, leaving Fiona in peace for the first time in years. The scandal dies down and Fiona begins to rebuild her life, free of their oppressive influence. Until one day, a revelation shakes her to the core—a destiny she never wanted, one that intertwines her with the very men she despises: she is their mate. Now, Fiona must confront the past she had tried so hard to bury and navigate an uncertain future with the four alphas who once made her life unbearable. Caught between hate, fear, and an undeniable bond, Fiona faces an impossible choice: accept the twisted fate that binds her to the alphas or risk tearing apart the fragile peace she’s finally found.
