Goblin Queen's Journey Deck

The carnivorous ways of the Aswang leave little room for love - much less a forbidden one between a queen and human girl. Little did Aswang Queen Catarina know, soon, her life would be changed by a plucky American biologist. A blue eyed, blonde adventurer, Rose Smith from California, who would make Catarina question all she knew, and want to make a human Her Aswang Woman King. ___ Catarina Rosales Marquez, 26, is the Aswang Queen of the Domminga Mountains, but she abhors eating humans. She has genetically engineered the fruits of her goddess Ikapati to produce human proteins in order to bring peace to Mindanao - but the Aswang do not trust this revolutionary, peaceful Queen - and are wary of the American biologist she has taken under her wing. Rose Smith is a German-American biologist doing her dissertation on the elusive, endangered Phillippines Eagle. Having studied the Tarsier in her undergraduate semester abroad in Manila, she fell in love with chicken adobo, pandesal - and Filipina women. Eager to be the first American biologist to do a longitudinal study of the Phillipines Eagle, she sets out into the Domminga Mountains on a bus with a one-way ticket - not afraid of the local's warnings of the rabid Iktapati Aswang Clan that eats humans, and roving bands of Tikbalang werehorses that stampede trespassers to death. When Catarina and Rose collide, it is oil and flame. Catarina, expected to marry a King, finds herself questioning the very cosmos of relationships - can she take a Queen, and a feisty American grad student at that? And can Rose come to terms with the elusive, seductive courts of the Vampiric Aswang? When the Iktapati clan rebels, the Tikbalang war, and the wind spirits coquette, Rose and Catarina must team up to save the humans of Mindanao - and the Phillipines eagle!

There were certain people who were always less than kind, like the Alpha Heir and his stuck-up friends. As far as she could tell his only problem was he felt she was below him and did not fall at his feet like the other females in the pack. She was a strong fighter, who beat even the ranked members at practice, and the Alpha and Luna were proud to have such a strong warrior in their pack. The Luna being best friends with Rayne’s mum always hoped that their children would one day be mated as she thought Rayne would make a strong and caring Luna.

Aluna grew up in a pack that never truly wanted her. Feared since childhood for a strange gift she could not control, she was branded cursed and treated as an omen of misfortune. Still, she clung to the hope that one day she would belong. That hope shattered on her sixteenth birthday. While others awakened their wolves and found their destined mates, Aluna was left with nothing. No wolf. No bond. In front of the entire pack, Wilson, the Alpha’s son, revealed she was his mate—only to reject her publicly and choose her sister, Grace, as his future Luna. The humiliation stripped her of the last shred of safety she had. From that moment, cruelty became her daily reality. Starved, overworked, and degraded by both pack and family, Aluna endured a life designed to break her. What none of them realized was that every act of suffering was awakening something ancient within her. Her power was not a curse. It was dormant. A hidden prophecy spoke of a coming Blood Moon that would threaten all supernatural beings. Only the child of the Moon Goddess could stop it. Aluna’s parents knew this truth—and believed her pain was preparation. When she is later traded in a political exchange to a ruthless Alpha, Aluna begins to lose all hope of survival. Everything changes when Dalton, the son of the King of Wolves, arrives. Cursed with uncontrollable bloodlust during every full moon, Dalton had long abandoned his search for salvation. Until he meets Aluna. As fate draws them together, Aluna must choose whether to save a world that never showed her mercy—or finally choose herself.

The wedding's in half an hour, and my fiancé's assistant, this woman, just hands me this paper. Rule number one: No physical contact with him outside, not unless he explicitly permits it. Rule number two: Intimacy is to occur only when he initiates it. She is obligated to satisfy his desires at least once a month. Rule number three: He can demand his due at any time, any place, and she cannot refuse. ... After I finished reading this entire two-page contract, I had to fight to keep a smile on my face. Swallowing the fire in my gut, I called my fiancé. "Marcus, what the hell is this?" "What do you mean, 'If he fathers a child, she must raise it, no matter who the mother is'?"

"Rael, what's this?" "An anklet, since you don't want an ankle monitor." "I'm not your pet!" "No, you're not." "Then, get this thing off me!" "It's either that or I'll tatt my name on your wrists and over your sweet mounds so the whole world knows you're mine." ~~~ They called me a murderer. I became a rogue to survive. And when my wolf finally surfaced, she came with blood on her hands. Now I’m bound to him—Rael, the Lycan King cursed to die alone. Our bond shouldn’t exist. He’s the descendant of the Moon Goddess, Lycans who are forbidden to mate with werewolves. But fate doesn’t ask. It takes. It binds. It burns. He says I belong in his cage. I say I’ll burn it down. The war between us will either break the curse... or destroy us both.
