Ma sœur adoptive Sophia, la dernière louve blanche de race pure du village Grell, a été violée et torturée à mort par un loup-garou égaré inconnu. Sa lettre de suicide ne contenait qu'une phrase : « Lina a vu son visage. » À partir de ce jour, je suis devenue la plus grande pécheresse de la tribu. Parce que je connaissais l'identité du meurtrier, mais je suis restée silencieuse pendant cinq ans. Jusqu'au jour où mon frère adoptif Damien, l'Alpha le plus puissant de Continent du Nord, est revenu. Il a rapporté l'Appareil de Vision des Âmes et a extrait de force les souvenirs de mon âme de loup-garou. Tous les loups-garous ayant subi l'Appareil de Vision des Âmes sont morts ou devenus fous. Ma louve a été torturée sans cesse par l'appareil, mais Damien a réprimé la douleur dans ses yeux et a rugi : « Quand je découvrirai la vérité, je t'enverrai en enfer avec le meurtrier. » Mais lorsqu'ils ont finalement découvert la vérité, Damien a perdu la raison.

Una semana antes de nuestra Ceremonia de Marcaje, en la fiesta de un amigo de Ethan Stormwind, le dije que quería romper con él. Al escucharme, todos se rieron, pues sabían que durante los últimos seis años, mi objetivo en la vida había sido convertirme en su Luna. ¿Por qué querría romper con él si solo faltaba una semana para la ceremonia? Incluso Ethan pensó que estaba siendo irrazonable, y me cuestionó: —¿Solo porque el día de nuestra ceremonia tengo que llevar a Selene al curandero para que le hagan una revisión, estás haciendo un berrinche y quieres romper conmigo? Después de una breve pausa añadió: —Los dos somos adultos, ¿puedes comportarte de manera más madura? Podrías reprogramar la ceremonia. ¿Por qué insistes en ese día en particular? No tengo tiempo para tus escenas de celos. Asentí en silencio. Sí, algo tenía que cambiar, pero no era la fecha de la ceremonia, sino él. Yo iba a aceptar ser marcada por alguien más.

My mate and my brother hated me for twelve years. They believed I stole their precious Sarah's herbal research and bullied her for twelve years into silence. At my marking ceremony, they exposed my "crimes" to the entire supernatural world. "She's nothing but a bully who torments her packmates and a thief who stole the herb formula from Sarah!" But Sarah smiled through her tears: "The formula doesn't matter anymore." "As long as it saved our wolves from silver poisoning, what does it matter who created it?" "I've already forgiven her." She became the pack's angel of mercy. I was condemned by thousands, until the very wolf I'd saved with my medicine poured silver water over my head. In my despair, I dragged Sarah down with me into death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in my second year of high school. Sarah was slicing her arm with a silver blade, smiling as she asked: "Have you thought about how you'll apologize to me?" Something in me snapped. My Alpha power surged forth, crushing her to her knees. I grabbed the blade: "Let me show you what real cuts look like."

Tras la gran guerra entre humanos, vampiros, hombres lobo y elfos, se hizo un acuerdo que estipula que una descendencia híbrida sería la designada a gobernar el mundo. Cada siglo, las alianzas matrimoniales entre humanos y esos tres clanes decidían quién sería el próximo gobernante. Quien diera a luz al primer hijo híbrido reclamaría el poder para su linaje. En mi vida anterior, elegí casarme con Jax, el hijo mayor de la manada de hombres lobo, conocido por su férrea lealtad. Di a luz a nuestro hijo híbrido, un cachorro de pelaje blanco al que llamamos Zeal. Nuestro hijo se convirtió en el próximo gobernante mundial, y Jax obtuvo un poder inmenso. Mi hermana había codiciado la belleza de los elfos y se había casado con alguien de su clan. Pero sucedió que el príncipe elfo se acostó con todas las hembras del bosque. Finalmente, mi hermana contrajo una enfermedad que la dejó estéril. Celosa y amargada, provocó un incendio que nos quemó vivos a mí y a mi cachorro. Y entonces, volví a abrir los ojos. Estaba de vuelta en el día de las alianzas raciales. Sin embargo, mi hermana ya se había acostado con Jax primero. Sabía que ella también había renacido. Sin embargo, lo que ella no sabía era que Jax se comportaba brutalmente salvaje con sus compañeras, habiendo destrozado a innumerables lobas en su cama durante su periodo de celo. Y lo que tampoco nadie se esperaba era que, en esta nueva vida, yo eligiera a mi prometido en el más infame de los clanes. Elegí desposar a nada más y nada menos que el Lord del clan de los vampiros.

“Are you reading my mind right now?” he asks me while coming closer. “No, I am not.” “I wish you were. So that you can know how you have consumed my mind, how much I think about you. How I want to hold you and care for you. This is what has been going through my mind from the first day I saw you at our border with a protruding belly.” *** Lyra thought marriage to the Alpha would be her salvation, a chance to escape her father’s suffocating control. But when she overhears a deadly plan—one that marks her and her unborn child as pawns in a sinister power play—she makes the only choice that can save her life. With nothing but a cloak to hide her secret and no one to trust, Lyra runs. In a world where loyalty is tested and alliances shift like shadows, Lyra finds refuge in a rival pack, only to uncover gifts she never knew she possessed. But as her powers grow, so do the dangers lurking in the dark. While Damian, her estranged husband, searches for answers about his missing wife and child, and the truth behind his parents’ deaths—an even greater threat looms over them all. Yet some secrets refuse to stay hidden.

My best friend Ada felt sorry for my eight-year crush on Theo. So when our wolves recognize each other as mate, Ada simply gave me a pheromone-enhancing herb and sent me to Theo’s bed. Intoxicated by my scent, Theo claimed me like crazy. When I woke up, he coldly agreed to hold the marking ceremony. But shortly after the marking, Theo frequently visited European packs, and stayed away for five years. I raised our son Alex alone, waiting for him at the pack. But he never came come and just told me he didn’t like puppies. Until Alex's birthday party, I saw a video where someone asked him: "Theo, what's your happiest moment?" He replied carelessly: "Last week in Europe, after putting Marcus to sleep, I took Claire to the dining table in the living room." Amidst the whistles and cheers, my hands and feet turned ice cold. Claire was his ex-girlfriend, Marcus was his ex-girlfriend's son. They say he'd been living with them these five years in Europe, so it was all true. I was completely heartbroken, submitted the mate bond dissolution to the Alpha Council, and left North America with my son, erasing our pack registration.

*BOOK 1: THE ALPHA KINGPIN TWINS* Navigating the harsh criminal underworld is no easy task, especially for women. Mira, an unwanted omega born from an Alpha's mistress, has experienced this reality firsthand. Deemed worthless, Mira is sold to the merciless Russian Alpha, Mikhail Popov, who subjects her to unimaginable cruelty. Forsaken by her family, Mira faces a life of suffering and violence under Popov's control. But Mira has a plan. On a fateful night, she seizes the opportunity to escape, taking with her secrets that could destroy Popov. Mira believes she has found freedom, but instead, she stumbles into the lair of Alpha Nikolaos Ioannides, a Greek Alpha with an even darker reputation. As a brutal pack war rages around them, Mira's options grow scarce. However, Alpha Nikolaos makes her an offer: her freedom and independence in exchange for one thing – giving him an Alpha heir. Mira is left with a crucial decision: is she willing to bear a child for the fearsome Alpha in exchange for her freedom? And perhaps more importantly, will she even have a choice? *** “You want to breed me?” He winces at the term, but nods.“Yes. I need an Alpha heir but in my position, I don't have time to go out looking for a mate nor do I want a Luna.” Mate; the one thing every wolf wants but no one seems to have. The Mate Bond is so obscure that many wolves have decided not to chase after it anymore. Would I even still be fertile after all the abuse I've suffered? What tests did the doctor run that she concluded I was fit to bear an Alpha's pup? *** Side Stories Included: Beta's Runaway Bride - Completed BITTERSWEET: The Gamma's Stories - Ongoing

It had been five years since my mate Ethan Blackwood secretly marked me. Then his brother, the Alpha of the Shadow Moon Pack, died in the territorial war. To become the next Alpha of Shadow Moon, Ethan inherited everything his deceased brother left behind. Including his widowed sister-in-law, Victoria. After every time Ethan shared Victoria's bed, he would hold me close and whisper reassurances: "Autumn, just wait a little longer. Once Victoria gets pregnant, we'll have our Mating Ceremony!" This was the pack's only requirement for him to inherit the Alpha position. In the six months since returning to Shadow Moon territory, Ethan had gone to Victoria's chambers countless times. From once a month in the beginning, to now almost every other day. Finally, after countless nights of sitting alone until dawn, news came that Victoria was pregnant. But along with this announcement came another—Ethan and Victoria would be holding their Mating Ceremony. "Mommy, is someone having a Mating Ceremony here?" my daughter asked. I looked around at the stark contrast to our sparse living quarters. The main hall was filled with flowers and balloons. People bustled about outside, everyone joyfully preparing for their Mating Ceremony. I pulled my innocent daughter into my arms: "Yes, sweetheart. Your father is having a Mating Ceremony with someone he loves, which means it's time for us to leave." Ethan didn't know that we wolves of the Silver Crescent Pack never cared about so-called Mating Ceremonies. In Silver Crescent, female wolves were revered. My mother was the current Alpha, and I only needed to bear an heir to the pack to inherit her position. I dialed a number I hadn't called in five years: "Mother, I already have an heir now. I'm ready to come home and claim your Alpha position."

Me estaba muriendo por envenenamiento por plata, todo por salvar a mi familia. Y ahora Marcus, mi prometido, el Alfa que había jurado nunca abandonarme, quería que le entregara mi riñón sano para dárselo a Celeste, la hija adoptiva de mis padres. A nadie le importa si vivo o muero. Así que rechacé el tratamiento conservador y me inyecté la poción de vida de una bruja. ¿El precio? En 72 horas, moriría de una falla total de todos mis órganos. En esos tres días, le entregué a Celeste mi centro de sanación privado, el que construí con mis propias manos. Mamá y papá estaban radiantes de alegría. —Qué bueno que por fin maduraste, mi niña. Ahora sí estás cuidando a tu hermana. Marcus quiso posponer nuestra boda para cuidar a Celeste. Lo acepté con calma. Me felicitó por finalmente ser comprensiva. Incluso le cedí a Celeste mi puesto como sanadora en jefe de la manada. Mis padres y Marcus estaban tan emocionados que planearon una gran fiesta para celebrarla. Invitaron a todas las personas importantes de la manada para festejar su nuevo cargo. Solo una cosa me daba curiosidad. Cuando muriera, ¿derramarían cuando menos una lágrima por mí?
