Elijah Mikaelson Shirtless

The Day my Family betrayed and Killed me, was the day everything changed. ___________________________________ Rhiannon Blackwood was the Brains behind the success of the True North Pack. She had dedicated her life for the Pack's benefit, but one day everyone turned their back against her and everything she built was handed to her twin sister. But it doesn't ends there - her beloved family and mate destroy her life and kill her at the end. As she dies, she promises vengeance to those who did this to her. When she woke up again and realized she had been gifted a second chance, Rhia would make sure not to make the same mistakes as before. Even if it meant joining hands with the enemy of the True North Pack, Elijah Reigns, the Alpha of the Timberfang Pack, a man who not only appears to be carved from the shadows, but who sets her heart ablaze with one glance. What happens when she realises the second chance given to her isn't just for revenge, and there's something even bigger in store for her? What happens when she comes to understand why she was Wolfless all this time? What happens when she has to make a difficult choice, after learning that Alpha Elijah is the definition of a 'Forbidden Fruit' ?

On my sixteenth birthday, everything changes. One moment I'm your below-average girl—the next moment, I’m a monster. A werewolf. As a danger to society, and with my parents' refusal to help me, I have no other choice but to go to the werewolf place. Nothing prepares me for what waits for me inside the Academy of the Moon. Not only do I learn that the horrid tales I’d been told about werewolves were not true—but that I am different from the others. This results in my being a scapegoat for condemnation. What’s even worse is that the boy who marked me might be a murderer. He’s on the loose. Will he come back for me? Am I turning into an evil beast, like him? And then, there’s Elijah Ledger. The future alpha—a gorgeous werewolf who appears to be bearing dark secrets from everyone. I’m drawn to him. But he’s a magnet for misfortune, and his secrets start to unveil themselves. While I’m dealing with an array of problems, including a jealous girl who can’t stand my newfound attention from Elijah—one by one, students are getting attacked at the academy. The big question is: who is it? And why are they doing it? Things get ugly—and I am caught in the middle of it.

Betrayed. Rejected. Forgotten. Elvira was born to be Luna, but on the night of her mating ceremony, her step-sister takes her place, and her step brothers—Beta Eric and Beta Elijah made sure she was never seen. Branded a murderer, unworthy of love, they break her, chain her, and leave her for dead. But fate isn’t done with her yet. Elvira has one choice, stay buried in their lies or rise to destroy and take back her place.

Lily is a Warrior Wolf who hates fighting. Her mate is the Alpha of the most fearsome pack around, and he rejects her - she's not fit to be his Luna. Lily goes on the run, leaving her pack behind to seek a cure for lycanthropy, so that she never has to shift on a full moon again. That's when she meets Elijah, her second chance Alpha mate with a fierce streak and gentle heart, who would do just about anything to protect her from the dangerous creatures she seeks.

After going bankrupt, I do the unthinkable for my gravely ill younger brother, Ricky Ashford, and climb into the bed of Damien Blackwood, the notorious mafia boss. When his smoldering gaze sweeps over my shirtless body, I stay perfectly still. The reason is that I'm afraid to set off this infamous man in front of me. However, the next instant, his lips are everywhere on my skin, and the night dissolves into a wild, reckless blur. For three years, I endure every torment in his bed. Thoughts of escape and even suicide cross my mind, but the fact that my brother is fighting for his life in the ICU keeps me going. One day, I accidentally overhear him speaking with his childhood friend, Chloe Sterling. "How long do you plan to toy with your enemy's daughter? You're not falling for her, are you?" "Don't be absurd." "And what about her sickly brother?" "He died long ago." The last thread holding me together snaps. Now, there is no reason left to live. As I prepare to end my life by burning charcoal, tears well up in his eyes as he pleads for me not to leave.

I try seducing my fiance, Vernon Floyd, 999 times. But even when I'm shirtless, his only concern is whether I'm cold. I assume that Vernon is a traditional guy, who wants to do it until we're married. But on the day of our anniversary, I discover that he has secretly booked a hotel famous for couples' getaways in the city. That night, I arrive at the VIP suite full of hope. In the end, all I see is Vernon and his childhood sweetheart passionately kissing each other as the crowd cheers. I wait outside the VIP suite for a long time. Finally, I understand that he doesn't love me. After leaving the hotel, I call my family. "Dad, I don't want to marry Vernon anymore. I want to marry Dylan instead!" Dad spits out his coffee and says, "Avril, Mr. Walker got into a car accident a few years ago. I heard that he's impotent. If you marry him, you won't have any children!" By then, I am already disheartened. "It doesn't matter whether I have children or not."

On the night of our eighth anniversary, I cooked everything Ethan loved. He didn't come home. I sat alone at the table until the food went cold. Then I did what I always did. I opened Selene's profile on the pack network. New post. One hour ago. A photo of Ethan, shirtless, building a fire in her den. Her hand on his shoulder. Her face turned toward the camera with a smile that showed too many teeth. The caption read: Grateful for old friends who drop everything when you need them. Even their marking anniversaries. I stared at it until my eyes burned. Then I liked it. Filed the bond-dissolution request. And started packing the trunk I'd kept ready for months. Ethan didn't believe it when he found out. "She's throwing a fit," I heard he told his packmates. "Give her three days." "I'll crook my finger and she'll come running back." "She always does." What he didn't understand was why I always came back. It was because I loved him. That was gone now.

Depois que o navio de cruzeiro colidiu com um recife oculto, passageiros em pânico acabaram me empurrando, junto com Kristen Langford, direto para o mar. Meu namorado, Elijah Jensen, era o capitão do navio, então ele se lançou na água sem hesitar. No entanto, em vez de me salvar, ele agarrou Kristen e subiu com ela para o último bote salva-vidas. Eu me debatia desesperadamente e gritava por socorro, mas ele bateu na minha mão, afastando-a com força. — Você sabe nadar. Pare de fingir para chamar atenção! — disse Elijah. — A temperatura corporal da Kristen estava caindo. Eu precisava levá-la imediatamente a um hospital! As águas ao meu redor estavam completamente escuras, e aquelas palavras soaram como uma sentença de morte. "Então foi assim que tudo terminou…" Quando a pulseira de rastreamento que eu sempre usava foi encontrada dentro de um tubarão, Elijah acabou mergulhando sozinho em águas infestadas por tubarões, procurando por três dias e três noites sem descanso. No fim, o brilhante capitão que um dia dominou os oceanos nunca mais poderá navegar.

Born a rogue, the lowest rank in her pack, Tatiana believed that she would have nothing to actually be able to hold on to as a future aside from that that was drawn to her, the same future that her parents had had throughout their lives. But when she is rejected by the one man that despises omegas more than anyone else, she finds herself being lost as Alpha Elijah kicks her out for being his mate, a lower rank. But Kieran is not what she expected. Tatiana assumes her life is over when she meets him, but instead of killing her, he sees something in her, something worth saving, something worth training. He takes her in, gives her a home, and pushes her beyond her limits, forcing her to break through the weakness that has held her down for so long. What Tatiana doesn’t know is that Kieran has a secret. He felt the mate bond the moment he saw her. And that was something that he intended to play with. To explore and to play was what Kieran planned on doing. Until, of course, he was able to get where he wanted. Until he got her heart to fall for him… But it is not only love that is waiting for them, it is also revenge. Not only does Tatiana plan her revenge on Elijah, but he too finds it in himself to want to ruin her for simply existing, for simply being the Rogue Alpha’s mate. And both will stop at nothing until that revenge is done…

Rae just wanted to lose her virginity and forget the name of the boy who ruined her first time. So when her wild best friend dares her to visit Club Obsidian - a secret invite-only pleasure club where older men pick submissive girls for one unforgettable night - Rae agrees. She expected nerves. She expected heat. She didn’t expect a hot and sexy tattooed stranger in his forties with a tongue piercing, three rings, and a voice that could melt bone. He didn’t ask for her name. He just whispered, “Dance for me, kitten.” And by morning, Rae was ruined - in the best way possible. But her world shatters when she walks into her mother’s house… and finds him standing in the living room. Because the man who owned her body last night? Is her stepfather’s brother. Her step-uncle. Now he’s living in the pool house, teasing her at dinner, flexing shirtless by the pool, and whispering filthy things when no one’s around. He says it was supposed to be one night. But the way he touches her? The way he stares at her like he’s starving? He doesn’t want to let go. And neither does she. Even if it means losing everything.
