However, when long-held secrets come to light and old foes reappear, Audrey quickly realises that being with Damien might cost her everything, even her heart. Will she weather the tempest of loving a guy like Damien, or will they be torn apart forever by the perils of his world?

In the fifth year of loving Gabriel, he inherited his late brother’s title as Vampire Lord— along with his brother’s widow, Chloe, the former Blood Queen, and, by blood and law, my kin-by-covenant. Every time he returned from her chambers, Gabriel would hold me gently and whisper, “Isabella, Chloe is only my Chosen Consort. Once she carries and delivers the Scion of the Blazetooth Coven, I will bind myself to you through a Blood Bond.” He said it was the only condition his family demanded for him to ascend as Vampire Lord. During the six months after we returned to Blazetooth Coven, he answer her summons a hundred times. At first, once a month. Then once a week. And eventually, every single night. On the hundredth night I stayed awake waiting for him, Chloe finally conceived. The news arrived together with another announcement— Gabriel and Chloe would soon be bound by Blood. My son looked up at me, confused and innocent. “Mom… didn’t they say Dad would form a Blood Bond with the Blood Queen he loves? Why hasn’t he come to take us home yet?” “Because,” I said softly, brushing my hand through his hair, “the Blood Queen he loves was never your mother.” “But that’s all right,” I added. “I’ll take you home. Our own home.” What Gabriel never realized was this— as the only daughter of a reigning Vampire King, I had never cared for the title of Blood Queen of Blazetooth Coven at all.

Denied for 18 years, Grace finally got the approval of her father, Alpha Dean, to take a vacation. She had never left the safety of the Black Hallow Pack. What her father didn't know, she never had plans to return once her vacation was over. Grace had a secret that even her father didn't know about, and never planned on telling him. However, any plans she thought she had came to a quick halt. Grace had a knack for getting into unfavorable situations and that included her first night visiting the Boone Valley Pack. The bar fight might not have been her fault but the last thing she expected was to be handcuffed. To make matters worse, the person that came to collect them from the human police was her mate. How will her mate react to meeting her for the first time, while being handcuffed? Will he rescue her from the claws of her father? The biggest question, can he keep her safe once her secret gets out?

Im fünften Jahr meiner Liebe zu Gabriel erbte er den Titel seines verstorbenen Bruders als Vampirfürst, zusammen mit der Witwe seines Bruders, Chloe, der ehemaligen Blutkönigin, die nach Blut und Gesetz meine Verwandte durch den Zirkel war. Jedes Mal, wenn er aus ihren Gemächern zurückkehrte, hielt Gabriel mich sanft im Arm und flüsterte: „Isabella, Chloe ist nur meine erwählte Gefährtin. Sobald sie den Erben des Blazetooth-Zirkels empfängt und zur Welt bringt, werde ich mich durch ein Blutband an dich binden.“ Er sagte, das sei die einzige Bedingung, die seine Familie von ihm verlangte, damit er als Vampirfürst inthronisiert werden könne. In den sechs Monaten nach unserer Rückkehr zum Blazetooth-Zirkel folgte er hundertmal ihren Rufen. Zuerst einmal im Monat. Dann einmal pro Woche. Und schließlich jede einzelne Nacht. In der hundertsten Nacht, in der ich wach blieb und auf ihn wartete, wurde Chloe endlich schwanger. Die Nachricht kam zusammen mit einer weiteren Ankündigung: Gabriel und Chloe würden bald durch Blut gebunden werden. Mein Sohn sah zu mir auf, verwirrt und unschuldig. „Mama ... haben sie nicht gesagt, dass Papa ein Blutband mit der Blutkönigin schließen wird, die er liebt? Warum ist er noch nicht gekommen, um uns nach Hause zu holen?“ „Weil“, sagte ich leise und strich ihm durchs Haar, „die Blutkönigin, die er liebt, nie deine Mutter ist.“ „Aber das ist in Ordnung“, fügte ich hinzu. „Ich bringe dich nach Hause. In unser eigenes Zuhause.“ Was Gabriel nie begriff, war dies: Als einzige Tochter eines regierenden Vampirkönigs hatte mich der Titel „Blutkönigin des Blazetooth-Zirkels“ nie interessiert.

“I need your help to fake a private jet crash,” I said quietly. “It’s the only way I can ever leave Luca Moretti.” People said he’d given up the Mafia throne for me. They called him the man who traded power for love— the heir who walked away from blood and gold just to marry a waitress from the slums. For years, he made the world believe in us. He built empires under my name. He sent me roses every Monday. He told the press I was his salvation. But love doesn’t always mean loyalty. While I was busy believing in forever, he was building a second home behind my back— one filled with laughter, toys, and twin sons who had his eyes. The night I disappeared, his empire burned. He tore apart cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive just to find me. But by the time he did— I was already gone. And the woman he’d once died for no longer loved him enough to stay alive.
