Leur histoire devient une lutte silencieuse contre l’ordre établi, une quête d’absolu dans un monde où aimer peut condamner. Lorsque la révolution gronde, leur amour devient flamme et sacrifice.

Born as the daughter of the Skybound Alpha King, Anastasia Zyaire was born to rule, trained with Luna etiquette, duty, and expectations , but not love.

Imagine waking up in the arms of the Lycan King and you try to sneak out but just as you're about to step out, you find him watching you with darkened eyes. “Go on.” He said with a shrug. “You will find that my territory stretches for hundreds of miles and it is easy to get lost here or to go in the wrong direction. One wrong turn, and you could be at the mercy of wild animals…" He paused. "... or a very angry beast.” His eyes darkened again at those last words and a chilling shiver ran down my spine. Deep down, I knew the ‘angry beast’ he was referring to in this statement was himself and that added to my unease. “Did you possibly think that there was anywhere you could run that I would not find you?” He said in a voice that wasn't entirely human. **************************************** In an unexpected twist, Zora Sparks becomes the chosen queen of the Lycan king, Nox Rider, and decides to get her revenge against her ex-mate and his Luna.

Nachdem meine Zwillingsschwester Harper gestorben war, hasste mich mein Alpha-Gefährte zehn lange Jahre. Ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang war ich seine Luna, und ich versuchte auf jede erdenkliche Weise, gut zu ihm zu sein. Eines Tages sagte er zu mir: „Wenn du mich wirklich um jeden Preis zufriedenstellen willst, dann stirb doch einfach.“ Als also ein Lastwagen auf mich zuraste, rührte ich mich keinen Zentimeter. Ich hätte niemals erwartet, dass Noah mich im letzten Moment zur Seite stoßen würde, um mich zu retten. Er wurde dabei schwer verletzt. Kurz bevor er starb, sah er mich an und flüsterte: „Charlotte, wenn ich dir nie begegnet wäre, wäre alles besser gewesen.“ Zu Noahs Beerdigung kamen alle Ältesten und sämtliche Mitglieder des Rudels. „Ich hätte Noah Harper als seine Luna wählen lassen sollen. Ich bereue es, ihn damals gezwungen zu haben, dich zu nehmen. Du hast ihn getötet!“ Noahs Mutter war von Trauer überwältigt. Auch Noahs Vater sagte: „Weißt du eigentlich, dass Noah dir dreimal das Leben gerettet hat? Er war ein so gutherziger Alpha. Warum bist nicht du gestorben?“ Alle auf der Beerdigung starrten mich voller Vorwürfe an. Am Ende wurde ich von der Trauerfeier hinausgeworfen, verloren und völlig verzweifelt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mithilfe einer Hexe durch ihren Zauber in die Vergangenheit zurück. Dieses Mal hatte ich eine Entscheidung getroffen. Ganz gleich, was passiert: Ich würde niemals wieder Noahs Luna werden.

My boyfriend, Christopher Linden, was short of 20 thousand dollars for his medical treatment. To get the money as soon as possible, I participated in a rich man's game onboard a lavish cruise. I didn't bat an eye as I jumped into the ocean to search for a bracelet one of their female companions had dropped in the water. As I choked on the ocean water, I heard the man in the lead mock me, saying, "I've seen plenty of the dirty things people are willing to do for money, but you take the cake. You're even willing to give up your life for it." Someone teased, "Your girlfriend doesn't like money and is willing to forgo everything to care for you. Do you love her?" He snorted. "She's just a peasant from the countryside; I'm only fooling around with her. You have no idea how coarse her hands are—they disgust me whenever she touches me. How could I possibly fall for her?" I turned ashen at his words. He was Christopher, who was supposed to be wheelchair-bound. He was also supposed to be too broke for surgery. The peasant from the countryside he was talking about was me.

Nachdem ich wiedergeboren wurde, war ich diejenige, die den Namen auf meinem Blutbund mit Prinz Mortlock änderte. Ich schrieb „Isabella“ hinein – die andere Vampirin, die er immer schätzte und stets beschützte. Als Isabella die Rubinkette wollte, das Zeichen der Gefährtin des Prinzen, ließ ich sie ihr. Das Hochzeitskleid, das Mortlock für mich vorbereitet hatte, gab ich ebenfalls Isabella. Ich tat das alles, weil sich in meinem früheren Leben mein Wunsch erfüllte. Ich wurde Mortlocks Gefährtin, doch ich lebte jeden Moment im Schatten von Isabella. Am Ende, während eines Kampfes gegen Vampirjäger, lief Mortlock zuerst zu der verletzten Isabella. Ich war diejenige, die den Silberpfahl durchs Herz bekam. Also beschloss ich dieses Mal, sie einfach gewähren zu lassen. Ich hielt mich weit von Mortlock fern. Doch diesmal weinte der sonst kalte und distanzierte Prinz und bat mich, wieder seine Gefährtin zu werden.

I was sold to the Devil. Rider Thorne. The Alpha King. A man whose name alone makes grown wolves tremble. My stepfather cleared his gambling debts by trading my life for a stack of cash, handing me over with a single, chilling instruction: Give the King an heir, and you go free. I accepted my fate. I prepared to be nothing more than a vessel, a temporary fixture in his cold, luxurious prison. I told myself I could survive his cruelty, his indifference, and his icy glare. But the moment he walked into the room, the universe played a cruel joke. The scent of rain and dark chocolate. Mate. The cruelest Alpha of all time is my soulmate. The sad part? He doesn't know. Or worse—he doesn't care. To him, I am just a tool. A breeder to secure his lineage before he discards me like trash. Heartbroken and realizing he will never look at me with love, I made a choice. I will give him what he bought, but he will never have my heart. But when I discover I’m carrying not just one heir, but three, and that my life is in danger, I did the unthinkable. I ran. Now, the Alpha King is tearing the world apart to find me. He realizes too late that the "tool" he bought was the other half of his soul. But he’s not chasing a submissive girl anymore. He’s chasing a mother protecting her cubs. Run, Bailey. Run.
