Finally it was time to give her the ring, and Sue didnt hide her disappointment when she saw it. "Told you," Justin whispered. Jake simply smiled and slipped it on her finger. "I now pronounce you man and wife," the preacher said. "You may kiss the bride." He lifted the veil and was struck that she would wear so little make up and still look stunning. She really does have simple but elegant taste. She"s going to throw a fit when she sees her new wardrobe. He already knew he would be assigning Mrs. Parker and her team of seamstresses with a new wardrobe. This time he would have to let Sue talk to her about what she wanted. He didn"t know whether to be relieved or annoyed. As he bent to kiss her on the lips, she gave a slight turn of her head so he kissed the side of her mouth instead. "Well honey, aren"t you full of surprises today," he teased. Having managed to catch her off guard, he wrapped her in his arms and gave her a long kiss on the mouth. She was too stunned to react in time to stop him. Several men chuckled and the single women sighed as if imagining he was kissing them. When Jake let go of her, he shot her a triumphant look. She looked flustered and then furious. They turned to the people as the preacher announced, "I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Jake Mitchell." She was reluctant to walk down the aisle with him so he gently led her by the arm. "We don"t want to disappoint the people. Remember, it"s only for six months." She sighed and started walking with him.

I was known throughout the Shadow Pack as the perfect, obedient she-wolf. So obedient, in fact, that when my mate David left me during our eighty-eighth Bonding Ceremony, I still chose to forgive him. Until that fateful day—our eighty-ninth ceremony—when an anonymous werewolf gifted us a wedding present worth five hundred million dollars. The screen meant to play our sweet memories suddenly switched to a live broadcast: Amy, auctioning off her virginity for exactly five hundred million dollars. In our Pack, the first night symbolizes the deepest loyalty and love between true mates. If a she-wolf loses her first night to someone other than her mate, she is shunned by the entire Pack—branded with shame and rejection. Tears shimmered in Amy’s eyes as she looked straight into the camera, like it was her final goodbye. “David, if I can’t be your mate, then my purity means nothing.” “I only hope… you’ll never forget me.” David didn’t even hesitate. He threw away our moonstone ring and bolted from the ceremony hall. The Pack murmured in stunned disbelief. Everyone knew one thing: I loved David—but David only had eyes for his so-called savior, Amy. Now, the only question anyone whispered about was whether we’d make it to the ninetieth Bonding Ceremony. But I knew the truth— There would never be a ninetieth. So I left, my heart shattered in silence. But later, I heard he had regretted everything he had done— And had been desperately searching for me ever since. Because the truth was, I was the one who saved his life—not Amy.

The day I decided to donate my body to science, my family gathered around my adopted sister, Hailey, celebrating her acceptance into a cutting-edge experimental treatment program. The one with brain cancer was supposed to be me. But Hailey used my husband Zane's position at the hospital to swap her healthy medical records with my terminal diagnosis, stealing the one chance I had to survive. And the worst part? Everyone cheered her on. The pain became too much. I fought to stay present, only to overhear the nurses whispering, "It's a good thing Dr. Zane secured that spot for Hailey. They said she only had three days left." So, in the last 72 hours of my life, I quietly let go of everything. When I gave Hailey the original manuscripts of my novels I had poured my heart and soul into, my father and brother gave me a satisfied smile. When Zane decided to grant Hailey her dying wish by marrying her, he handed me the divorce papers. I signed without a moment's hesitation. He sighed and praised me for finally being "so reasonable." And when I was the one who coaxed our daughter, Olivia, into calling Hailey "Mommy," Olivia gushed that her new mom was the best. "Don't worry," Zane soothed. "We're just keeping it safe for now. Once she's gone, it'll all come back to you." I gave Hailey everything I had, just like they wanted. So why, when they find out this was all Hailey's vicious lie, do they come crying, saying I'm the one they wanted all along?

“It’s not as simple as you think, Adolphus…. I am wolf-less…. This is the perfect reason that I can’t be your luna.” I tried to give Adolphus a reason why he should reject me, but my voice cracked. To be honest, belittling myself, and asking my second chance mate to reject me for the same reason that my first mate used stung badly. My heart was hurting badly, but I concealed my heartache and kept on looking at him with indifference. I saw his jaw clenching hard, and my body trembled, not in fear, but because of heartache. He was an alpha… Our future alpha…. He needs a strong she-wolf as his mate, not someone like me…. Who is wolf-less….. “So… you think th… that the Moon Goddess did a mistake by pairing us, huh?” he asked me, and I dug my nails deeper in my palms. I felt something hot seeping out of my fingers, but my eyes were still glued on him. “I don’t know about others, but there is no way that I will reject you, Madeline….. Both I and Onyx has no problem with you having no wolf because our goddess chose you for me…. So forget it about rejection, and you know me very well.” He announced his decision in a firm and cold tone, and before I could say a word, he stormed out of my room. I collapsed on the floor right after he left the room, and sobbed silently. I was relieved that I didn’t have to go through the pain of rejection this time, but I was sorry for Adolphus. I didn’t know why the Moon Goddess paired us, but I need to talk to his father, our present alpha.

Fingí ser mi hermano gemelo—y ahora tengo cuatro compañeros destinados luchando por mí Mi hermano gemelo, Phoenix, estaba en coma. Así que hice lo único que tenía sentido: me corté el cabello, tomé su ropa y me presenté en su academia de élite fingiendo ser él. Pensé que lo más difícil sería mantener mi secreto. Entonces mi loba empezó a GRITAR cada vez que me acercaba a mis cuatro nuevos compañeros de equipo. Hayden, el capitán frío y arrogante que me acorraló el primer día y me exigió que me mantuviera lejos de él. Ahora no puede dejar de ponerme las manos encima. Zion, el coqueto relajado que descubrió inmediatamente que yo era una chica y desde entonces no ha dejado de burlarse de mí por eso. Finley, el dulce y confiable que me hace sentir segura… y que acaba de marcarme como su compañera destinada. Adonis, el genio silencioso con un lado oscuro que solo aparece cuando estoy cerca. Ahora todos lo saben. Todos me han reclamado. Y la ex-prometida de Hayden acaba de filtrar mi secreto a los medios, y ahora todos quieren que me vaya. Pero hay algo sobre tener cuatro compañeros destinados poderosos— Cuando alguien amenaza a uno de nosotros, tendrá que responder ante TODOS nosotros.

Estaba a punto de formar un vínculo de sangre con otro lord vampiro. Pero mi pareja de un siglo, Kaelan, no tenía ni idea de esto. Él se encontraba demasiado ocupado encariñándose con su nueva asistente humana, Sylvia. Han pasado noches enteras en su oficina, bajo el pretexto de estar «investigando sangre sintética». Incluso convirtió nuestro aniversario de cien años en la fiesta de cumpleaños de ella. Ese día, frente a todos, Kaelan le presentó un pastel Selva Negra decorado con «Silver Bells». Ellos se reían, untándose glaseado el uno al otro. Se olvidaron que esas flores son un veneno mortal para mí. Mi poder se hizo añicos. La agonía me desgarró mientras las sombras se desataban, incontrolables. Los guardias de mi familia tuvieron que arrastrar mi cuerpo convulsionando. Y, mientras yo me recuperaba sola en la bóveda fría y oscura, Kaelan seguía en la fiesta, bañándose en los vítores para él y Sylvia. La sangre en mis venas se convirtió en hielo. Un siglo de amor y esperanza se redujo a cenizas. En ese momento, acepté el arreglo de mi familia. Sin dudarlo. Una unión con el lord del Trono de Obsidiana; un vampiro del que dicen que es la encarnación del poder.
