Dr Sleep

On the day before the marking ceremony, my Alpha mate, Zev Briarwood, is wounded in a battle and loses his memory. He forgets everything… including me. To help him restore his memories and Alpha pride, I go all out. I seek out an evil witch to trade my precious heartblood and fangs for her magic, nearly dying in the process. I sketch jewelry designs day and night, selling them just to earn money and to find every possible memory cure. When I drag my battered body to visit Zev at the clinic, I overhear him laughing with his buddies. "Your acting's next level, Zev! Kira still hasn't figured out you're faking it, and you've delayed the marking ceremony!" A buddy snickers. Zev gulps his wine and grins. "I'm definitely winning the bet that I'd sleep with 100 women at parties. Once I've had my fun, I'll go back to her for my mate duties and complete that marking ceremony."

But in the mafia world, love comes with blood, betrayal, and deadly consequences. Will Mia surrender to the man she swore she would never love—or will her heart destroy them both? Read to find out.

For a year, I’d lived a double life. During the day, I am Lila Montgomery, the heiress of Montgomery Industries. At night, I am just Lila, the woman Ethan was falling for. Or so I thought.“Grace,” he’d murmured in his sleep one night, his arms tightening around me. “Don’t leave again.” That was the first crack in my fantasy. The final crack that ended our so-called relationship was when he accused me of wanting to trap him with a baby. Now just days later, my mother wants me to meet Nicholas Baldwin, Ethan’s uncle. “Might be exactly what you need to forget his nephew.” I ignored my brother’s teasing, walking past him. “I don’t need another Baldwin man in my life.” But seeing Ethan now in person and with Grace by his side… “Nick,” I whispered urgently, “I need a huge favor.” He must have heard the desperation in my voice, “Name it.” “Pretend to be my boyfriend.”

Ruby Sinclair has spent eleven years as a servant in the Gallagher pack, hiding her true identity as the last survivor of a slaughtered Alpha bloodline. Orphaned at seven when rogues destroyed her pack, she's endured relentless torment from the Gallagher quintuplets—five Alpha heirs who've made her life a living hell. To survive, Ruby has suppressed both her wolf and her deadly secret: she's a seer, the very ability that painted a target on her family. On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Ruby's carefully controlled world shatters. Her first shift triggers early, and all five brothers simultaneously recognise her as their fated mate. But years of abuse have left deep scars, and Ruby wants nothing more than to escape the men who tormented her—mate bonds be damned. When Dr Reeves, the pack's trusted physician, attempts to drug and deliver her to the rogues who murdered her parents, Ruby's dormant powers explode. She kills him with a thought and teleports away, terrified of what she's becoming. As the quintuplets discover recordings proving they were systematically drugged for eleven years to hate their own mate, they must somehow earn back the trust of a woman who has every reason to reject them all. But a carved symbol on a dead rogue reveals the true threat: the Shadow Alpha, an ancient corrupted Guardian who has hunted Ruby's kind for millennia. A mystical wolf spirit reveals Ruby's destiny: she's a cosmic Guardian, and her five mates are meant to be her anchors. Now Ruby must decide whether to trust the men who destroyed her, or face an unstoppable evil alone.

The bread knife stuck in Jon doe’s chest had an unusual pattern, I grabbed a camera from the nearest person and clicked a few pictures of the design “Email them to me.” I said as I was handing the camera back to them. It looked ancient and rare, not the usual bread knifes you’d find at our local stores here in Seattle. I looked up to find a detective watching my every move, it seemed that his one side of the face looked sunken in, similarly you only see this in people who don’t have teeth, which prompted me to look into his mouth, to find that all of his teeth had been pulled out. I sighed loudly and said “well, here goes our identification route of checking dental records, this body was left in the hopes that no identification will be made!” Craning my neck to have a look at the coroner who had just arrived on scene, I recalled working with her once before on another case when I first started as a rookie, Dr Leslie Adams is an expert in her field and one of the most professional and efficient woman. She looked down at me, and stated “Detective Rush you do know that the body you are looking at has been dead for more than 3 days, and also looks as if it was stored in a body freezer before being planted at this scene” I shook my head and realised that this is getting more intense by the second, “I hadn’t realised so Doc, that’s the reason we have you here, to help me solve the mystery “- I said whilst walking up to her, I held out my hand and gave her hand a firm handshake.

I stared, I gulped, my heart skipped a beat, my stomach twisted and I can feel the butterflies, a linger and a cold chill ran and travelled through my vein, flowing through my blood like lava. The man before me was heavenly, I could barely look away. From the way his dark grey orbs stared back at me to the way his jet black hair fell spikingly on his shoulder, my whole body shuddered uncontrollably from the sensation growing in my system. My eyes trailed up to his sharp jawline, his straight pointed nose, his tick, long eyebrows and eyelashes to his sinful, tempting, luscious lips. Consciously, I ran a over my lips but the sound of my dad clearing his throat pulled me out from my trace as a slightly jerked, feeling electrified. "Tristan, I went you to meet my friend, Dr Sean" My dad introduced the sexy, demigod man with that sinful body of his. I quivered again. "Sean, meet my son Tristan" Dad introduced me but my eyes remained cemented on him and I could swore I saw a spark in those dark orbs but it was gone as soon as it came, making me doubt if I really saw it. I watched him run his over his reddish, luring lips while his ran down my body, making my inside burn with a sudden fire I had never felt before...and then, he spoke.... "Nice to meet you kitten" And from that moment no, I knew it was over for my heart. From that moment I knew I was in love with MY FATHER'S FRIEND!

"At a time when I needed you most, you ended our relationship. You claimed that I wasn't the one you loved, called me a whore, and said that I wasn't your type from the start. So what do you expect me to do?" "Beg!" Michael responded immediately. "I anticipate that you will plead for mercy." "You don't deserve my plea, Michael. You're not worth my tears..." She was about to say more when Michael forcefully kissed her, making it difficult for her to breathe. "Is that why you sold yourself to Kelvin?" He inquired after releasing her lips. Nora wiped her lips with her knotted hands. She looked at him fearlessly and replied, "Who I sell myself to is none of your concern. As the whore you called me, you shouldn't be keeping track of how many men I sleep with." Her response enraged Michael, and he pushed her and raped her, only to discover that she was still a virgin. If he begs for a second chance, will Nora ever forgive him?

Um die drei wichtigsten Männer in meinem Leben zu retten, hatte ich einen Handel mit der Mondgöttin geschlossen. Mein Leben im Tausch gegen ihre drei. Wenn ich es schaffen würde, dass auch nur einer von ihnen mich innerhalb von fünf Jahren wahrhaftig liebte, dürfte ich weiterleben. Doch als der letzte Tag der Frist kam, hegten alle drei immer noch nichts als Ablehnung für mich. Den Regeln zufolge war ich gescheitert. Ich würde sterben müssen. „Mondgöttin, darf ich noch eine letzte Nachricht senden? Einen allerletzten Versuch?“ Vielleicht aus Mitleid gewährte sie mir diesen letzten Versuch. Diese Nachricht war meine letzte Chance. Ich drückte die Sprachnachricht-Taste in unserer WhatsApp-Gruppe und kämpfte darum, meine Stimme ruhig zu halten. „Könntet ihr mich vielleicht ein kleines bisschen lieben? Ich werde wirklich sterben.“ Nach einem Moment der Stille kam ihr gnadenloses Gelächter. „Du tust echt alles, um mit Lidia um Aufmerksamkeit zu konkurrieren, oder?“ „Hör auf zu lügen. Dadurch hassen wir dich nur noch mehr.“ „Wenn du so unbedingt sterben willst, dann mach es halt.“ Mission gescheitert. Ich gab ihnen genau das, was sie wollten. Doch als ich kurz davor war zu sterben, drehten sie alle durch.

Janna: ,,Du wirst mich niemals bekommen! Lieber sterbe ich" ,,Oh Baby, du hast keine Ahnung. Ich werde dich niemals sterben lassen. Das schwöre ich dir" Er lachte rau und fuhr mit seiner Fingerkuppe über die nackte Haut meines Armes. ,,Dieser Körper gehört nur mir und ich werde alles damit tun, was ich will" Ich sehe ihn hasserfüllt an. ,,Mach was du willst, ich werde dich dafür immer hassen" wimmerte ich. ,,Das sagst du so als würdest du mich nicht schon bereits hassen Baby" er beugte sich runter und drückte mir einen dominanten Kuss auf den Lippen. ,,Bisschen mehr Hass schadet doch nicht oder?" lachte er. ,,Fick dich Tyler!" Ariana: Mein Vater wollte mich zwangsverheiraten? Nur über meine Leiche! ,,KOMMT EINEN SCHRITT NÄHER UND ICH SCHNEIDE MIR DIE PULSADER AUF!" schrie ich meine Schwester, ihren Mann und ihren Schwager entgegen. ,,Es tut mir leid Ari. Wir finden eine Lösung, bitte leg das weg!" weinte meine Schwester. Ich schüttelte traurig den Kopf. ,,ICH HABE VERDAMMT NOCH MAL KEINE WAHL!" schrie ich. ,,STOPP!" schreien alle, doch ich zog das Messer durch die Haut. ,,NEEEEIIIIN!" hörte ich Janna. Ich sah nur das ganze Blut und fiel in Damons Armen. Es war vorbei. Endgültig...
