Lookism Crystal

Riven, mi compañero destinado, era el Alfa de una manada patética al borde del colapso. Durante cinco años fui su sombra, su estratega. Levanté su manada de la nada hasta que la Alianza nos reconoció, y estábamos listos para trasladarnos a las tierras fértiles. Riven prometió que celebraríamos nuestra ceremonia de unión en cuanto nos instaláramos en el nuevo territorio. Sin embargo, durante el banquete de celebración, la noche anterior a la mudanza, me arrojó a una celda. Anunció públicamente que Jenna, la loba que llevaba a su cachorro en el vientre, sería la Luna de la manada. No podía dar crédito. Le grité, pero él me hizo una mueca de desprecio y señaló un cristal que vibraba con magia oscura. —¡Jenna ya tiene pruebas de tu traición! Te acostaste con otros Alfas para conseguir su apoyo. ¡Me das asco! Le supliqué. Pero él me cortó la mejilla con el borde de plata de la carta de disolución de vínculo, apartándome formalmente de su lado. Pero él no sabía quién era yo en realidad. Soy la hija del Rey Alfa. Las estrategias, el poder, las alianzas... nada de eso era suyo. Todo era mío. Así que lo recuperé todo.

Crawl over, and get what you want, that is the least you can do for how hard I intend to fuck you.” ******************** Just like everyone else who ends up in college with their curiosity spiking up the ceiling, Claire's was no different from them. A text confirming her boyfriend was at a fraternity party making out had her racing out, until she met the one person she would have never expected to cross paths with. Under the influence of aphrodisiac, she had given herself to him, with no recollection of who he is or where he was from until fate brought them together. With her working in his startup firm as an assistant, and his claws deep in her, Jerald wasn't ready to let her go, and she wasn't ready to do so as well, not even when she found out he was her boyfriend's elder brother. He made her feel things she hadn't felt before, and touches her in places she wouldn't have expected was possible, what awaits them when it seems their luck had run out? And the world suddenly seems to be against them?

As the heir to the North's most powerful pack, I must choose my mate from the three rival Alphas. My heart had already chosen. Alpha Ethan. He was my destiny. Our mate bond was a roaring fire, impossible to ignore. But just days before the Mating Ceremony, we were ambushed by rogues. Everything went black. When I woke up, a new wolf was howling in my soul. Nyx. She claimed to be from my past life. And she was screaming in my head, begging me not to choose Ethan. "He'll kill you! Him and that bitch Clara. They'll steal everything you have! Arthur is the one you have to choose!" Arthur? The cursed Alpha doomed to die before he turns twenty-five?

Dexter, mi compañero destinado, se convirtió en el Rey Alfa cuando su hermano murió. No solo heredó la corona y el poder, sino también a Jenica, la viuda de su hermano. Todo porque yo, por ser una mestiza, no había podido darle un heredero de sangre pura en todos estos años. Me dijo que tenía que marcar a Jenica y sentí que el alma se me partía. Aun así, me abrazó con fuerza, secó mis lágrimas con sus besos y juró que su lobo y su destino solo me pertenecían a mí; que yo siempre sería su única Luna. Le creí. Pero, a pesar de sus promesas, él seguía pasando cada noche en la cama de ella. Entonces, Jenica quedó esperando cachorros. Mientras la manada celebraba, Dexter me obligó a dejar la suite de la Luna; quería que su cachorro naciera bajo el aura lunar más pura de la manada. Sentí cómo nuestro vínculo se deshacía dolorosamente, hilo por hilo, así que le envié un último mensaje en clave a un amigo del mundo humano. “Sácame de aquí en cuatro días”. Esa noche tomé una decisión. Mi tiempo como su compañera había terminado.

Nací sin espíritu de loba, una carencia que Arabella aprovechó para convertir mis años en la academia en un auténtico infierno. No fue sino hasta mi graduación que mi loba finalmente despertó, dotándome de un poder de curación excepcional; en ese momento, creí ingenuamente que mis pesadillas habían terminado. Fue entonces cuando conocí a mi compañero predestinado, Tristan, el Alfa imponente y poderoso que me prometió el cielo y las estrellas. Sin embargo, la misma tarde que planeaba anunciarle mi embarazo, la verdad me golpeó con una crueldad devastadora. Quien compartía mi lecho no era Tristan, sino su hermano gemelo, Ronan; aquel Alfa errante que años atrás había renunciado a la manada para arrastrarse entre los humanos. Se valió de un bloqueador de aroma para infiltrarse en mi habitación y embarazarme, orquestando un plan retorcido diseñado únicamente para pisotear mi dignidad en mi gran día. Buscaban venganza por Arabella, quien me había acusado falsamente de acosarla con tal de destruir mi reputación. Cegada por la rabia, irrumpí en el estudio dispuesta a desenmascararlos y exigir una disculpa; en lugar de eso, fui encerrada. Mediante un ritual de magia negra, me despojaron de mi loba para entregársela a Arabella. Sentí cómo drenaban mi esencia vital y arrebataban la vida de mi pequeño antes de que pudiera nacer, sumiéndome en una agonía que acabó por consumirme. De pronto, abrí los ojos. Me encontraba de nuevo en el día en que descubrí mi embarazo. Me llevé las manos al vientre mientras una lágrima recorría mi mejilla; esos miserables iban a arder por lo que me hicieron.

“You want to sever our mating bond? Just because of a mistress, Jasmine?” Logan sneered, his eyes blazing red from anger. I couldn’t believe the monstrous man barking before me was the man I once cherished—my husband. “It seems you’ve forgotten my uncle is the Alpha of this pack. You can’t win this, Jasmine. Stay in this marriage and save yourself from the humiliation of being expelled.” —- Jasmine’s seemingly perfect marriage is on the brink of collapsing after she discovers a shocking truth: she’s not the only lover in her husband’s life. The betrayal cuts even deeper when she finds out her best friend is the secret mistress. This shatters the trust and loyalty that once held their mating bond. Determined to sever their bond and start anew, she serves him divorce papers. But nothing prepares her for a stunning reversal; her husband turns the tables, falsely accusing her of infidelity. She’s on the verge of facing the punishment that comes with infidelity in her pack—a shameful expulsion. Just as her hope wears out, the stark reality of her fate about to dawn on her, a potential savior emerges: her fated mate, who happens to be the powerful Alpha of their pack, in whose hands lies the fate of Jasmine. He must choose between loyalty to his bloodline and protecting his long-awaited fated mate. Will he save Jasmine from ruins? or will he protect his bloodline and turn his back against her? As this inspiring journey unfolds, Jasmine’s love, loyalty, and resilience are pushed to the limit while she struggles to find her feet again and fight those who wronged her.

Mi mejor amiga, Maya, voló desde Miami para la semana de mi despedida de soltera. Eran mis últimos días de libertad. Insistió en organizar una noche de chicas para celebrar y pidió toda mi comida favorita a domicilio. Me pidió que le cuidara el celular y esperara un momento. Entonces, la pantalla se iluminó. Era un mensaje de un hombre. Una foto sin camisa. “Mi arma está lista para ti esta noche”. Llegó otra foto vibrando. Juguetes sexuales. Accesorios de bondage que parecían sacados de una película. Sentí que la cara me ardía. El corazón me latía descontrolado contra las costillas. Acababa de tropezarme con su vida secreta. Pero la siguiente imagen me cortó la respiración. Era un primer plano del pecho del hombre. Tenía una cicatriz que yo conocía mejor que mi reflejo. Era de mi prometido, Luciano Carbone.

I fell for Don Lorenzo Moretti the second I saw him. Hard. As a mafia princess, I wasn't supposed to chase anyone. But for him, I swallowed my pride and made him my mission. A year later, he finally had me, pinning me to the bed as he moved inside me. His eyes were pure fire, and in that mo ment, they saw only me. For ten years, we were electric. We fucked in five-star hotels all over the world. We just fit. I was his lucky charm at the poker table. I took shots for him until I bled from my stomach. I even took a bullet for him. Then came our engagement party. Lorenzo left me standing there alone. Said something "came up." I went back to our apartment, only to find him kissing my stepsister, Juliana. That’s when I knew. He had always loved her. I was just a stand-in. He tried to explain, words tumbling out in a panicked rush, promising a bigger, better party to make up for it. A laugh, cold and hollow, died in my throat. I turned my back on him, pulled out my phone, and called my mother in Sicily. "I'll marry into the Romano family."

This book is a Standalone, you don't have to read the first two to relate to what happened, though I do recommend it. Book Three of the Bloodlust Series “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion, waking up in the familiar podium where she once grew up watching people die in front of her as she herself fought for her own life. “I don’t know, but I don’t like this” Richard said from beside Kiara. The two were trying to process how they even got here to begin with. People around them started coming to their senses as they woke up inside the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Bloodlust Games, The final chapter” ************************* Re-entering the Bloodlust games was never an option in Kiara’s life. But when revenge is on the line and both she and Richard are forced into them, they have nothing to do but survive, for it was either play and live. Or die…
