Permen Aurora

"I, Hailey Moreno, reject you, Jude Castellan, as my mate." The words tasted like poison, but not as bitter as finding him in bed with my twin sister. Hailey's world shattered when her mate betrayed her with the one person who should have protected her—her own twin, Lucy. The broken mate bond nearly destroyed her wolf, but from the ashes of that pain, something darker was born: revenge. Her plan is simple and ruthless—seduce Alpha Lucian, Jude's powerful father, and make her ex-mate watch as she takes everything from him. But Hailey doesn't know that the lonely Alpha has been watching her, wanting her, for far longer than she realizes. What starts as revenge becomes something neither of them expected. Now Hailey must decide: Is she strong enough to want something real again? Or will her thirst for vengeance destroy the only chance she has at true happiness? In a world where wolves mate for life, some bonds are meant to be broken—and others are worth fighting for.

Mein dreijähriger Sohn Ethan verirrte sich in das Gebiet der Rogues und wurde dort auf grausame Weise ermordet. Als mich die Nachricht erreichte, wurde mir schwarz vor Augen. Als ich wieder zu mir kam, hielt mein Alpha-Gefährte Alexander meine Hand fest umklammert. Seine Stimme war heiser vor Schmerz. „Ivy, ich schwöre dir, ich werde Ethan rächen. Ich werde diese verfluchten Rogues mit meinen eigenen Klauen zerreißen.“ Doch drei Tage später, bei der Beerdigung, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Alexander und seinem Beta Marcus. „Alpha, ich verstehe das nicht“, sagte Marcus verwirrt. „Warum haben Sie den Rudelarzt Ethan nicht retten lassen? Er war nur lebensgefährlich verletzt. Wenn wir rechtzeitig gehandelt hätten...“ „Es war Lucas“, Alexanders Stimme war von Schmerz durchzogen. „Er hat Ethan aus Versehen in Richtung des Rogue-Gebiets gestoßen. Lucas ist nur ein Kind. Er kannte die Grenzen der Rogues nicht. Er hat es nicht absichtlich getan.“ „Hätte ich den Arzt Ethan retten lassen, hätte der Junge allen die Wahrheit erzählt. Sophia wäre ins Gefängnis gekommen, und der Rat hätte Lucas zum Tode verurteilt. Das konnte ich nicht zulassen“, fuhr Alexander fort. „Und was ist mit dem Erben des Rudels?“, fragte Marcus besorgt. „Das spielt keine Rolle“, Alexanders Tonfall wurde wieder unheimlich ruhig. „Sobald Ivy sich beruhigt hat, hole ich Lucas zurück. Wir sagen, er sei ein adoptiertes Waisenkind, und der nächste Alpha wird von Ivy selbst großgezogen.“ Also war derjenige, der meinen Sohn getötet hatte, sein unehelicher Sohn mit seiner Geliebten. Mein Sohn hätte gerettet werden können, doch Alexander opferte meinen Ethan für seinen Bastard. Ich wählte eine Nummer, die ich seit fünf Jahren nicht mehr angerufen hatte. „Papa, ich bin es. Ivy.“ „Ich habe meine Meinung geändert“, sagte ich kalt und gefasst. „Ich komme zurück, um das Königliche Rudel zu erben.“ „Und was ist mit dem Mondstein-Rudel?“ „Ich will, dass das Mondstein-Rudel vollständig von der Welt ausgelöscht wird.“

The wolves of our pack are different from most. At five years old, every pup must undergo their first shift. But my son Ash was born with a broken wolf. He couldn't complete the shift on his own. The healer said the only way to stabilize him was for my Alpha mate, Kael, to transfer fifteen percent of his power to Ash. Otherwise, Ash would die during the first shift. The Five Packs Alliance summit was approaching. Any loss of strength could put Silver Fang at a disadvantage in negotiations. Kael weighed his options and decided to postpone. He said Ash could hold on through this moon cycle — they'd do it after the summit. I begged him to perform the ritual as soon as possible. Kael gave me his word. But the summit kept getting pushed back. First, Kael's childhood sweetheart Nora said her daughter Lily had a fever and she couldn't manage alone. Kael dropped everything and stayed with them for two days. Then Nora asked to take Lily to the Northern Frost Pack's Bonfire Festival. She said Lily had never had a father, had never attended a single pack celebration, and wanted Kael to go as family. When Ash was losing his breath in my arms, I called Kael. He said: "Lily's first shift ceremony is in three days. I have to stay and guide her. Don't worry — I'll be back as soon as it's over. Ash isn't urgent. Didn't the Elder say there's still a month? Stop overreacting." Three days later, Kael rushed home. All he found was Ash's cold body.

Eu soube desde a infância que estava destinada a me casar com Kaden, o herdeiro Alfa da alcateia Moonstone. Como a única com a linhagem de sangue Abençoada pela Lua, eu era a única pessoa capaz de quebrar a maldição que assombrava a linhagem Alfa da Moonstone por gerações. Há um século, o ancestral da Moonstone insultou publicamente uma Alfa caída durante seu funeral. Ele zombou dela, dizendo: — Ela é apenas uma loba. Por que um funeral tão extravagante? Como uma loba poderia proteger a nossa espécie? Ela provavelmente subiu ao topo dormindo com alguém. A Deusa Selene ficou enfurecida. Ela lançou uma maldição perpétua: cada herdeiro Alfa direto da alcateia Moonstone desenvolveria traços femininos em seu décimo oitavo aniversário, regredindo a um Ômega de baixo nível. Somente ao acasalar com uma loba Abençoada pela Lua a maldição poderia ser desfeita. Eu estive apaixonada por Kaden por anos e não queria nada além de salvá-lo. Maya afirmou que também possuía a linhagem de sangue Abençoada pela Lua. Kaden tentou se casar com ela, mas eu expus a mentira dela e o impedi. Forçado por seus pais, Kaden finalmente me tornou sua Luna. Depois que ele me marcou, Kaden não regrediu a um Ômega, mas também não despertou sua linhagem de Rei Alfa. Naquela mesma noite, Maya, de coração partido, foi caminhar sozinha na floresta, onde foi encurralada por um grupo de lobos renegados e despedaçada. Meus pais e Kaden me odiaram por isso. Eles alegaram que eu era uma fraude cuja linhagem era impura, e que por isso Kaden nunca ascendeu verdadeiramente. Eles estavam convencidos de que Maya era a verdadeira Abençoada pela Lua. Acreditaram que meu ciúme e minhas mentiras a mataram e roubaram de Kaden sua chance de se tornar o Rei Alfa. Em uma noite de lua cheia, Kaden rasgou minha garganta na frente de toda a alcateia. Ele jogou meu corpo em uma piscina de prata para deixá-lo corroer. A última coisa que ouvi foi o seu rugido: — Sua vadia mentirosa! A morte de Maya está em suas mãos! Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava de volta ao dia em que Kaden chegou à alcateia Silver Moon para propor o casamento.

I have known since childhood that I was destined to marry Kaden, the Alpha heir of the Moonstone pack. As the only one with the Moon-Blessed bloodline, I am the only person capable of breaking the curse that has haunted the Moonstone Alpha lineage for generations. A century ago, the Moonstone ancestor publicly insulted a fallen female Alpha during her funeral. He mocked her, saying, "She’s just a she-wolf. Why such an extravagant funeral? How could a woman ever protect our kind? She probably slept her way to the top." Goddess Selene was enraged. She cast a perpetual curse: every direct Alpha heir of the Moonstone pack would develop female traits on their eighteenth birthday, regressing into a lowly Omega. Only by mating with a Moon-Blessed wolf can the curse be lifted. I had been in love with Kaden for years and wanted nothing more than to save him. Maya claimed she also possessed the Moon-Blessed bloodline. Kaden tried to marry her, but I exposed her lie and stopped him. Forced by his parents, Kaden finally made me his Luna. After he marked me, Kaden didn’t regress into an Omega, but he didn't awaken his Alpha King bloodline either. That same night, a heartbroken Maya went for a walk in the woods alone, where she was cornered by a group of rogues and torn to pieces. My parents and Kaden hated me for it. They claimed I was a fraud whose bloodline was impure, which was why Kaden never truly ascended. They were convinced Maya was the real Moon-Blessed one. They believed my jealousy and lies had killed her and robbed Kaden of his chance to become the Alpha King. On a night of the full moon, Kaden tore my throat out in front of the entire pack. He tossed my body into a silver pool to let it corrode. The last thing I heard was his roar: "You lying bitch! Maya’s death is on your hands!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Kaden arrived at the Silver Moon pack to propose.

Mon Alpha fiancé m'a fait boire une potion de mémoire de sorcière le jour de notre cérémonie d'union pour qu'il puisse s'unir à ma demi-sœur. « Sylvie est sous une malédiction vicieuse. Seul un lien avec un Alpha puissant peut la briser. » « Aria, tu es la seule que j'aime. Je ne veux pas te faire de mal, alors si tu bois cette potion de mémoire, tu oublieras temporairement la personne que tu aimes le plus. Une fois que j'aurai aidé Sylvie à briser sa malédiction, tu pourras prendre l'antidote et retrouver tes souvenirs. » « Ensuite, je romprai le lien avec Sylvie et je ferai de toi la Luna la plus honorée de notre tribu. » Je n'ai pas hésité. J'ai bu toute la potion d'un trait. Mais il ne savait pas que la sorcière n'avait jamais créé d'antidote correspondant. Dans sept jours, je l'oublierais pour toujours.

La primera decisión que tomé tras renacer fue rechazar el rito de marca con mi compañero Alfa, Ethan. En mi vida anterior, cuando Ethan intentó aplazar nuestra ceremonia de unión por trigésima segunda vez, lo amenacé invocando las leyes sagradas de la Diosa de la Luna. Al final, Ethan cedió. Para apaciguar mi furia, juró que nada volvería a interrumpirnos. Sin embargo, esa misma noche murió Ivy, su amante Omega. Desde aquel instante, Ethan me odió con cada fibra de su ser. Cuando le confesé que estaba esperando cachorros, me ahogó en las aguas gélidas del Mar del Norte. —Tú y la abominación que llevas dentro merecen morir por lo que le pasó a ella. Me escupió las palabras mientras me hundía la cabeza bajo el agua. Morí sumida en la desesperación. Pero al abrir los ojos, me encontraba de nuevo frente al altar. Ethan lucía impaciente. —A Ivy le duele el pecho... Tenemos que posponer la ceremonia de unión otra vez. Esperaba que le suplicara. En lugar de eso, me desabroché el collar ceremonial y se lo arrojé a la cara. —Ve con ella. Yo me largo. Ethan hizo una mueca de desprecio. —Deja el drama. Sin mi aroma, vas a regresar arrastrándote de rodillas en una semana. No sabía que, una hora más tarde, yo estaría tocando a la puerta de su enemigo mortal: Damon, el Tirano del Norte. Cuando publiqué una foto luciendo el anillo del Alfa Winterborn en mi dedo, con la leyenda “Un Alfa Mejor”, Ethan enloqueció...

My Alpha mate secretly marked me for three years. I helped him manage the pack as a Beta and even helped him successfully run for Alpha King. But after the successful election, he publicly announced that his Omega assistant Scarlett was the one who helped him the most. "I'm announcing that 15% of our territory will be placed under Stella's management. From today forward, Stella's position in the pack will be second only to mine." With two simple sentences, he'd erased twelve years of my efforts. But my mate thought I was making a mountain out of a molehill. "I just showed a little extra care for the pack's Omega," he said dismissively. "My body never strayed. You're acting like I committed some unforgivable sin." I turned and left, aborted our child and proposed a mate bond severance agreement. Then, I called a number that I hadn't contacted for 12 years. “I regret it. I am willing to be the Alpha of your pack.”
