In which a beautiful young girl's life is forever changed and turned upside down, all because she couldn't stay away.

Blurb:  Five years of marriage. A life of deceit. Gianna Nelson poured her heart and soul into Marino—her love, her trust, or even her goals of motherhood, all snatched away with the aid of his overbearing mom. In the give up, they discarded her like trash, leaving her shattered. But Gianna isn’t the same female they as soon as trampled on. She’s again, more difficult, wiser, and hell-bent on making them pay. With a powerful new best friend by her side, she’s set to dismantle the empire that Marino and his circle of relatives cherish, piece by piece. As Marino’s existence starts to fall apart, lengthy-hidden secrets and techniques come to moderate, and the lady he believed he had destroyed becomes his worst nightmare. Revenge is a dish first-rate served cold, however when the stakes get lethal, will Gianna’s thirst for justice consume her—or will she rise from the ruins of her past and capture her triumph?

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.

Right before our Mating Ceremony, my mate, Alpha Damien, told me he had to temporarily mark an Omega from our pack, Seraphina. He claimed she had the Moon Sickness and would die if he didn't mark her. I fought him on it, but the next day, he moved Seraphina right into the penthouse of the Pack House. The suite meant for the future Luna. My suite. To calm me, he even got on his knees, his eyes red as he promised, "Once she's safe, I'll remove the mark. You'll still be my only Luna." But then, Seraphina found me, a medical report in her hand. Six weeks pregnant. They'd already held their marking ceremony long before Damien ever came to me. My heart shattered into ash. My pen dug into the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our Mating Ceremony. Then, I opened my laptop and replied to the email from the European Laurel Healers' Guild. "I accept your invitation. I leave on the day of the Mating Ceremony."

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.

“Please don’t hurt me, I will do anything you want me to, I will not tell anyone anything. I swear on my life, I don’t want to die please” I pleaded, it was the least I could do in a situation like this. After all that I had seen, I knew I was nothing to him than just another body that he could drop dead. I closed my eyes hoping and praying that he would spare my life. “Anything?” I hear him say and I open my eyes immediately. Was he accepting my offer, was he going to spare my life. He was already standing in front of me, I had to tilt my head backwards a great deal to catch a glimpse of his face. “Yes anything” I nodded my head.

Minha melhor amiga, Maya, veio de Miami para passar a semana da minha despedida de solteira. Meus últimos dias de liberdade. Ela insistiu numa noite só de garotas para comemorar, pedindo todos os meus pratos favoritos por entrega. Ela me pediu para segurar o celular dela e esperar. Então o telefone acendeu. Uma mensagem de algum cara. Uma foto sem camisa. Texto: Preciso de você hoje à noite. Outra foto chegou em seguida. Brinquedos sexuais. Equipamentos de bondage, como saídos de um filme. Meu rosto queimava. Meu coração martelava contra as costelas. Eu tinha acabado de tropeçar na vida secreta dela. Mas a imagem seguinte fez meu sangue gelar. Um close no peito do homem. Uma cicatriz irregular que eu conhecia melhor do que o meu próprio reflexo. Pertencia ao meu noivo, Luciano Carbone.
