Q&a With Laurie R. King

Elena Ashvale was born cursed or so the wolves believed. A half-blood carrying both human and werewolf blood, Elena grew up as an outcast in Pack Blackthorn, enduring humiliation in silence while serving those who despised her existence. At nineteen, her fate shattered on the night of the full moon when Alpha Caelan Blackthorn rejected her without hesitation, declaring her unworthy to be his Luna. Broken and abandoned, Elena fled beyond the pack borders, unaware that her rejection had awakened something far more dangerous than exile. Lucien Noctyrr Valecrest, the Beast King, ruler of all living beings felt it the moment her bond was severed. At 25, bound by ancient laws that forbade him from ever taking a mate, Lucien recognized the impossible truth: Elena was his. A forbidden mate. A bloodline erased from history. And a power capable of healing even curses born from the Underworld itself. In a world where a King is not allowed to love, Elena becomes the one who threatens the laws of fate. Rejected by an Alpha. Claimed by a King. And destined to change the werewolf world forever.

Gianna Benton, a woman who came from a great family, a family with ancient history, had always lived a life that's overshadowed by her younger sister, Quinn. After her unfair death with her unborn baby at the hands of the man she loved, Gianna got reborn. Now with the opportunity to live again, Gianna rejects her mate and gives herself to alpha Axel, falling into an unexpected contract marriage. Both plans to use each other, and falling in love isn't part of the deal for them. Gianna plans to get her revenge on her former lover, alpha Nathan, who killed her in the past because of her younger sister, but surprisingly to her, alpha Nathan wants his mate back, and Gianna is determined not to let the past repeat itself. —------------------------------------------------ "Is this hell?" "Gianna, what's wrong with you? I know that you are excited, but you need to stop acting weird." Mom said. I reach out my hands to touch her face, but she slaps my hands away. This is real, I thought. Somehow, I have gone back in time to the day I got married to Alpha Nathan. "I need to take a picture of you, but I can't do it without your sister. Wait here for me while I go get your sister." Mom left the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts. My hands formed a fist in anger as I thought of Quinn and Alpha Nathan. I don't know how I have traveled back to the past, but I'm not going to let myself make the same mistake I did in my past life; I'm not getting married to alpha Nathan. No matter what, I need to put a stop to this wedding.

“Damien!!” I struggled against the cuffs, trying to free myself. “What the hell are you doing?” He leaned down, his face inches from mine, his voice calm. “Until you learn to behave, you’re staying exactly where I want you, Mon Cara.” *** Abandoned by her father to settle his debts, Tracey Luke never imagined her life would fall into the hands of the ruthless Mafia King, Damien Black.
