Después de mi chequeo médico, estoy por salir de la enfermería de la manada, que se encuentra en el territorio de mi primo, cuando una sanadora toda maquillada me sujeta del brazo. —¡Ni un paso más! ¿En serio crees que puedes romper algo en la enfermería e irte así como si nada? ¡Ni lo pienses! Miro su cara desconocida y parpadeo, sintiéndome confundida. —¿Qué fue lo que rompí? Señaló los frascos de cristal de las repisas y arrugó la nariz con un gesto exagerado de asco. —¡Apestas! Tu olor contaminó todas las pociones y ahora no sirven para nada. El Alfa Xander las compró carísimas; todo vale quinientos mil. También me tienes que pagar por el daño emocional que me causaste, que son otros doscientos. —En total son setecientos mil. ¿Vas a pagar en efectivo o con tarjeta? Mi olor es una mezcla de violetas y ámbar. Es distinguido y elegante, como un atardecer de invierno. Entiendo que no a todos les guste ese aroma, ¿pero cómo puede decir que es contaminación? ¡Por favor! No entiendo por qué la enfermería en el territorio de Xander funciona como si fuera una red de extorsión. Me río de puro coraje y le digo: —Soy la prima del Alfa Xander. Yo no pago ni un centavo en su territorio. Si alguien tiene un problema con eso, que venga él y me lo diga a la cara. Pero la sanadora solo puso los ojos en blanco. —Ay, por favor. ¿Crees que con esos trucos tan baratos vas a llamar la atención de mi Alfa? ¡Ya quisieras! Si no pagas ahorita mismo, te voy a desnudar y te voy a aventar a la calle para que todos huelan lo asquerosa que eres. No tiene idea de a quién está amenazando. Respiro y me pongo en contacto con mi Beta. —Dile a Xander que, o destierra a esta sanadora de la manada, o yo lo desterraré a él.

On the day Yara Cullen was released from prison, it was raining. A chilly wind carried the drizzle, striking her as the media swarmed the prison gates. "Ms. Cullen, in the Crestwood Estate sexual assault case, your client lost the lawsuit and took her own life six months ago. Her mother is demanding accountability. Do you have anything to say?” "Ms. Cullen, your attorney's license has been revoked, and your mentor was forced to retire. What are your thoughts on this?" No matter how the reporters pressed, Yara kept her head down and pushed forward, forcing her way through the crowd. A black G-Wagon was parked by the roadside, where Westley Langston leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette. Beside him, Elena Cullen tugged at his arm. He turned, glancing toward the prison gates.

Born an Omega, Sorrell came into the world with very few prospects in life but refused to let those stand in her way. For as long as she could remember she has dreamed of being a pack warrior, wanting to fight for her pack and prove that Omegas are more than just servants. Determined to not let anything stop her, she holds firm despite catching the eye of the new Alpha. She can't understand why the obnoxiously good-looking Alpha has taken such an interest in her, but it all makes sense when on her 18th birthday she learns they have been fated. Sorrell was ready to become a pack warrior but becoming a Luna to a pack who definitely don't want her is not something she was ready to sign up for.

Il lui a offert Paris, le luxe et l’illusion d’un amour absolu. Elle lui a donné ce qu’elle avait de plus précieux : un cœur sincère. À 25 ans, Evestine pensait avoir enfin trouvé l’homme capable de l’aimer sans la blesser. Dans les bras de Canus, riche, élégant, fascinant, tout semblait avoir le goût d’un destin rare. Il connaissait les bons mots, les bonnes attentions, les silences qui séduisent. Avec lui, chaque nuit ressemblait à une promesse. Mais Canus n’a jamais été honnête en amour. Quand les mensonges commencent à fissurer leur relation, Evestine comprend que derrière le charme de cet homme parfait se cache un être incapable de fidélité émotionnelle. Trahie là où elle se croyait en sécurité, elle s’effondre. Pourtant, de cette douleur naîtra une nouvelle femme : plus forte, plus froide, plus libre. Canus croyait pouvoir la perdre et la retrouver quand il le voudrait. Il ignorait qu’un jour viendrait où le cœur d’Evestine n’habiterait plus chez lui. Dans le Paris des apparences, des secrets et des passions qui consument, jusqu’où peut aller une femme blessée ? Et que vaut le regret d’un homme qui a détruit l’unique amour vrai de sa vie ?

His cum dripped down my chin, mingling with my tears, a stark reminder of his dominance, his control. ***** I came to ruin my ex. I never meant to kneel for his father. I came back to ruin Caleb Vane. I had a plan that was cold, sharp, and merciless. But then I met Malric Vane. The man doesn’t flirt. He commands. One glance and my legs trembled. One word and I was on my knees. He’s the Lycan every wolf fears. The man no one touches. And now I wake up in his bed, spread wide, bite-marked, and dripping for more. He says I wasn’t born…I was made. Made to obey. Made to please him. And the worst part? He’s right. Because every time he calls me good girl, I forget my revenge. I just want to be ruined all over again.

Dalawang puso ang tumitibok at naglalayong magpaalab ng sumibol na pag-ibig sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon at panahon. Ang pag-ibig na hindi mapapantayan ang inaalay ni Brael Montegarde at Hasumi Mitsunabi sa isa't isa. Ilang beses na pinaghiwalay ng tadhana subalit muling natatagpuan ang mga sariling tapat na sumisinta sa isa't isa at pinipiling iraos ang pag-ibig na pilit hinahadlangan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Isang trahedya sa nakaraan ang muling binabalikan ng kasalukuyan. Ang madugong pagpatay sa mga magulang ni Brael at ang bangungot na patuloy na gumugulo kay Hasumi ay tila ba konektado.  Sa pagsiwalat ng katotohanan ay magugulantang ang mga pusong nagiibigan. Ang pumatay sa mga magulang ni Brael ay ang babaeng minamahal niyang si Hasumi.  Layunin ni Brael Montegarde ang maghiganti sa taong pumaslang sa mga magulang niya. Subalit guguluhin ng pagmamahal niya ang paghangad niya ng hustisya.  Kaya niya bang paslangin ang babaeng mahal niya? O mananaig ang pag-ibig na napunla sa mga puso nilang lubos na nagmamahal sa isa't isa?

“They begged for mercy,” he said coldly, his eyes distant. “But mercy died the day they killed her.”he snarled, his eyes cold as steel. “They killed the only woman I ever loved, and for that, you’ll suffer.” Love died in him the day his lover was taken by a family of hunters. As the ruthless Alpha of the Bloodmoon Clan, he has spent years hunting the Crescent Hunters, the family of werewolf slayers who killed his lover. Revenge is his only purpose-until he discovers his fated mate is the daughter of those very hunters, his plan to annihilate them is turned upside down. Will he use her to destroy her own family? Or will she be the one to melt the heart he thought he’d buried long ago? Can he kill the family that took everything from him, even if it means destroying the woman he's bound to protect?

To celebrate our daughter's eighteenth birthday, my husband, James Miller, decided to go nude cycling. I told him he was too old for that and would embarrass himself, but he looked at me with disdain and said, "Liliana, your life is so boring. You refuse to embrace new things." Then he brought the dog belonging to his first love, Sophia Lewis, and placed it before me. It was then I realized it was Sophia who had organized the nude cycling event. I felt my anger boiling beneath the surface as our son, Thomas, took the leash and handed it to me. "Dad, you can go have fun with Sophia. Mom will take care of the dog," Thomas said. But when the dog lunged at me later, Thomas protected it. Meanwhile, my daughter, Alice, fought to shield me. In the end, both Alice and I were bitten to death. James didn't even take us to the hospital. Instead, he dragged our bodies straight to the crematorium. Just before I turned into a wisp of smoke, I saw Alice rolling in the flames. During that time, James and Thomas were comforting Sophia. At that moment, I felt a deep rage—rage at myself for being so naive and for causing my daughter's death. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day when my son handed me the leash. This time, I was determined to make them all pay.
