Holy Crystal

Des renégats m'ont enlevée alors que je protégeais mon compagnon, l'Alpha Arthur. Je suis revenue trois ans plus tard, pour trouver Arthur accouplé à ma sœur, Caroline. Mon fils, Léo, ne me reconnaissait pas. Pour lui, Caroline était sa vraie mère. Brisée, j'ai forcé Arthur à bannir Caroline avec le soutien des Anciens, en utilisant mes contributions passées comme levier. Mais elle a été tuée dans une meute isolée et faible, empoisonnée. Après sa mort, Léo me détestait pour cela. Arthur ne m'a jamais fait de reproches. Il m'a dit que tout irait bien. Mais quand notre meute a été attaquée à nouveau, il m'a jetée à nos ennemis sans hésiter, m'a laissée mourir. Alors que j'agonisais, je l'ai entendu grogner en serrant les dents. « Si tu n'étais pas revenue, Caroline aurait été ma compagne pour la vie ! » Mon cœur s'est transformé en cendres. Puis, j'ai ouvert les yeux. J'étais de retour, au jour de mon retour après trois ans d'absence. Cette fois, je regardais Arthur qui protégeait Caroline, et Léo qui s'accrochait à elle. « Je romps notre lien de compagnon. A partir de ce jour, j'en ai fini avec vous tous. »

My mate, Nolan, is the Alpha heir. He promised to return before the Moon Goddess Festival. We were supposed to have our mating ceremony. I promised him the Heart of the Pack. My parents’ legacy. It's the key to controlling our elite warriors—the Dire Wolves. It was to be my mating gift to him. But he came back with a rogue bitch draped all over him. A she-wolf with wild, hungry eyes. I waited for him at the festival, ready for our prayer. Instead, I watched him with her. Skylar. They were by the bonfire, nipping and teasing each other like no one else existed. I told him his behavior was improper for an heir. He laughed in my face. “Old-blood nobles are so boring. Not raw and real like Skylar.” He thinks getting the Heart of the Pack gives him the Dire Wolves. He has no idea. The Dire Wolves answer to my bloodline. Without me, the Heart of the Pack is just a rock.

She rules her world,she sets the pace. Pretty poison. Driven by revenge and the never quenched hunger for blood and vengeance. She's a one woman army, and the Mafia Bosslady. But will the iron lady ever bend?

Juste avant la cérémonie d'accouplement, mon compagnon, Alpha Claude, m'a dit qu'il devait marquer temporairement une Oméga de notre meute, Fabienne. Il a prétendu qu'elle avait la maladie de la lune et qu'elle mourrait s'il ne la marquait pas. Je me suis disputée avec lui à ce sujet, mais le lendemain, il a installé Fabienne dans le penthouse de la Maison de la Meute. C'était la suite destinée à la future Luna. Ma suite. Pour me calmer, il s'est même mis à genoux, les yeux rougis, et m'a promis : « Quand elle sera en sécurité, j'enlèverai la marque. Tu resteras ma seule Luna. » Mais ensuite, Fabienne m'a retrouvée, un rapport médical à la main. Elle était enceinte de six semaines. Ils avaient déjà fait leur cérémonie de marquage bien avant que Claude ne vienne me voir. Mon cœur s'est brisé en cendres. Mon stylo a creusé le calendrier, gravant un X vicieux sur la date qui était censée être celle de notre cérémonie d'accouplement. Puis j'ai ouvert mon ordinateur portable et répondu à l'e-mail de la Guilde Européenne des Guérisseurs du Laurier. « J'accepte votre invitation, je pars le jour de la cérémonie d'accouplement. »

Rogues took me while I was protecting my mate, Alpha Arthur. I came back three years later, only to find Arthur mated to my sister, Calista. My son, Leo, didn't recognize me. He only saw Calista as his real mother. Broken, I forced Arthur to banish Calista with the Elders' support, using my past contributions as leverage. But she died in a weak, outlying pack. Poisoned. After her death, Leo hated me for it. Arthur never blamed me, though. He just kept telling me everything would be okay. But when our pack was attacked again, he threw me to our enemies without hesitation. Left me to die. As I lay dying, I heard him snarl through gritted teeth. "If you hadn't come back, Calista would have been my mate for life!" My heart turned to ash. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back. Back to the day I returned after being gone for three years. This time, I looked at Arthur shielding Calista, with Leo clinging to her. "I sever our mate bond. From this day on, I am done with all of you."

“Marry him or forget that you were ever part of this family” “So I’m just a pawn now?” “No zara,you are the price we pay for peace “ Zara Tunde had one dream: to model for the world’s biggest fashion houses and one day walk the runway in Paris. She was ready to chase that dream—until her father shattered everything with a single demand: marry Regan Kareem, the son of a man she despised, or lose everything, including her family. But Zara wasn’t going down without a fight. On one condition, she agreed: the marriage would last only one year. If love didn’t happen by the end of the year, they would walk away. No strings, no regrets. Regan Kareem, the enigmatic son of the powerful Chief Kareem, wasn’t looking for love either. He had his secrets—some dark, some dangerous. He saw the marriage as a means to an end, a way to fulfill family expectations and cover truths that could destroy his father’s empire. What started as cold tolerance slowly ignited into something neither expected. Beneath the mansion walls, deals were made, lies unraveled, and eyes watched from the shadows. When Zara begins to uncover a past linked to her own pain—the disappearance of her baby sister years ago—everything she thought she knew crumbles. In a world where loyalty is tested and betrayal hides behind perfect smiles, Zara must decide what matters more—revenge or love.u Because in this vow, someone’s not making it out unscathed.

“Our marriage is nothing but a signature on a contract” he said glaring at her. “Don’t flatter yourself too much, Romanov. I don’t want this marriage either, however, if it would benefit my family; then I would sign the bloody paper” she said glaring back at him. ******************** He was a ruthless Russian Pakhan, and she was an English Don’s daughter, and their marriage was the ONLY way to ensure peace between the two rivaling families.

My best friend, Maya, flew in from Miami for my bachelorette week. My last days of freedom. She insisted on a girls' night in to celebrate, ordering all my favorite takeout. She asked me to hold her mobile phone and wait.Then her phone lit up. A message from some guy. A shirtless pic. Text: I need you tonight. Another photo buzzed through. Sex toys. Bondage gear straight out of a movie. My face burned. My heart hammered against my ribs. I’d just stumbled into her secret life. But the next image made my blood run cold. A close-up of the man's chest. A jagged scar I knew better than my own reflection. It belonged to my fiancé, Luciano Carbone.

"Our marriage would end the ongoing war of Lycans and wolves." She said, looking the Alpha dead in the eye. "As long as you know to mind your limits, I am sure the two of us will not be having a problem." He said coldly. ********************** In a time when the wars of Wolves and Lycans seemed to be endless. The elders and Alphas were forced to take action. A marriage bond was to bind both. But with no mating bond involved, would the Capo dei Capi, Alpha Arturo de' Medici, accept his wife and Luna Sienna Moretti? Or would the neverending wars start again?

Fui la Beta principal del Alfa Damon. Durante seis años, fui su mano derecha y su compañera en la cama. Cuando anunció nuestro ritual de unión, la manada entera lo celebró. Mi sueño estaba a punto de cumplirse. Pero entonces, afuera de su salón de trofeos privado, lo escuché presumir sobre sus Pruebas de la Luna. Y en ese momento, supe la verdad. No era la única para él, sino una de treinta candidatas. Había pasado un mes con cada una de nosotras, calificando nuestros cuerpos, nuestra sumisión y nuestro desempeño. Mi calificación fue más baja que la de una Omega. Más baja que la de Lydia. —Lydia fue increíble. Apenas y podía separarme de ella. Y luego veo a Elysia… tan tiesa, siempre tan controlada… y la verdad es que… me aburre. La conmoción me paralizó. Dejé de sentir el cuerpo. Seis años de lealtad. Incontables noches entre sus brazos. Al final, todo significó menos que un capricho momentáneo y una loba que sabía arrodillarse. Mi dolor se convirtió en una resolución inquebrantable. Le envié un mensaje a un Alfa que me había pretendido tiempo atrás. “Adrian, dijiste que tu oferta de ser mi compañero seguía en pie. ¿Estás seguro? Ya terminé con Damon.”
