Reduce Reuse Recycle

Vampires exist.  But they aren't the etheral,  seducing types that we are taught about.  They slither and scheme, kill and reduce to ash all that is around them and even worse,  One has claimed my heart as theirs.  Only, he doesn't know I'm not the woman he thinks I am.  I'm not his lover, nor do I want to be.  Kidnaped and forced into proximity with the King of the Dead I learn one thing, nothing is as it seems at first sight.  Hades is a man with power, but Thomas saved me from death.  One is human and the other is close to a God. A greater threat looms in the distance, the humans I wish to stand with are under attack. The Vampire's war is not mine to fight, but can I truly stay on the side lines and watch everyone I have come to care about perish?  And can I truly find love in the arms of a cold detached  man, when warmth and happiness lays in wait for me with Thomas?

Rejected. Burned. Left for dead. Thalia was nothing more than an omega in the shadows—until Catastrophy strikes their park and kills her mother. They label her as cursed and reduce her to a slave. The first daughter of the Alpha king. Her mated Alpha whom she loved publicly rejected her and chose her sister as his Luna. Her father ordered Thalia’s execution by death in the flames. They thought the fire would consume her. But the fire doesn’t kill a phoenix. It awakens her. Now, Thalia has returned—reborn with power no pack has ever seen, cloaked in mystery, chosen by the moon goddess and bound to a darkness that answers only to her. She’s not back for love. She’s back for vengeance, revenge. But when fate ties her to the Lycan prince with secrets of his own, she is armed with power and authority. She could choose to go solo and destroy everything in her path as she returns to Greenwood Park for revenge or she could give herself to this new found burning desire that could destroy her. Thalia is here to stay and no mated Alpha can take what rightfully belongs to her. Not when the moon goddess has not ordained it.

Vexyiana, a 19-year old lady who was kept in the dark by her mother, afraid from judgements, hate—Because of her ability that she cannot control. An ability that can reduce your sanity. An ability that can kill you in a second. A powerful ability that came from her ancestor. Her ancestor that is herself. Her ancestor that was reincarnated. She would enter an Academy where she’ll meet new people. Folks who’ll help her shape her ability. The Academy where she’ll find friends, new relationship, trust, and faith. The Academy where she got to experience a love triangle-- Where she got to experience another betrayal. After her parents were abducted by the ‘FLAXED’, her grandparents took her in. Nourishing her with love and care she deserved. She had lived on a nightmare ever since she was little. She watched her parents being attacked, and taken away from her. But thankfully, she was guided by her grandparents. ‘SHE WAS UNEXPECTEDLY GIVEN A CHANCE TO BE ALIVE AGAIN AND SEEK FOR REVENGE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HARMED HER.

His hot breath fanned my ear and I nearly died the moment the straps of my dress fell away. Revealing a part of myself that left me vulnerable to his hungry gaze that moved over me. I pride myself on decency, to always be appropriate but the way he clenched his jaw and ran his large hands on my thighs made me go. . . to hell with decency. Reaching out, the need to touch him no longer bearable, I traced the outline of his torso through the fabric of his shirt. But even that wasn't enough as my hands moved underneath the fabric to trace the muscles there. He shifted slightly away triggering a fear in me that I had done something wrong. However, the fear diminished when he removed the fabric- granting my eyes the chance to feast on seeing more of his skin. He moved forward peppering light kisses all over my neck and torso only to latch onto my nipple tugging gently on the hard nub. I cried out at the movement of his teeth and tongue as his hands kept me close hindering any chance to reduce the contact to damn near impossible. Reducing the contact was the last thing I wanted, especially considering how far we had come. . .

Pétrolier de profession, Xavier Xamie est un homme solitaire au regard profond, marqué par une blessure que le temps n’a jamais su guérir. Célibataire endurci, il a troqué les promesses d’amour contre les ronronnements de son camion-citerne. Son moteur ? La route. Son seul compagnon fidèle ? Son mastodonte de métal, avec qui il sillonne le pays pour le compte de son entreprise. Mais derrière cette façade d’homme fort et calme se cache un cœur généreux, prêt à battre à nouveau… s’il en trouvait la raison. Et cette raison, il la trouve un jour, sur une route poussiéreuse, isolée du monde. Là, au détour d’un virage du destin, il croise seraleonne Palmarès — une jeune femme métisse, élégante, au regard fatigué mais déterminé. Récemment divorcée d’un homme infidèle, elle tente de reconstruire sa vie, seule avec son petit garçon de trois ans, silencieux mais profondément attachant. Ce jour-là, la mort aurait pu les prendre. Le destin aurait pu les briser. Mais au lieu de cela, il les a réunis. Dans ce chaos, une main tendue, un regard échangé, un enfant accroché à sa mère comme à la vie… et le cœur de Xavier s’est remis à battre. Lentement. Doucement. Mais pour de vrai. Parfois, l’amour naît là où la douleur croit régner. Et c’est sur cette route, au goût de bitume et de rédemption, qu’il a commencé à rouler… vers son cœur.

Maddie Elyria, a young and fiercely independent rogue, finds herself bound to the ruthless Alpha Kaden of the Lykai pack. But when Kaden rejects her as his mate and attempts to reduce her to a mere mistress, Maddie refuses to be tamed. She escapes his clutches, only to fall into the hands of the infamous Alpha Lucien, the Alpha King and leader of the formidable Vulkar pack. Lucien, feared by all, is a force to be reckoned with. His power and dominance are unmatched, and his reputation for cruelty and ruthlessness precedes him. Yet, when he lays eyes on Maddie, he is drawn to her with an unrelenting passion. Despite his initial intentions to claim her as his own, Maddie's fear and determination drive her to flee, leaving Lucien to vow that he will stop at nothing to find his elusive mate. As Lucien searches for Maddie, their paths eventually cross once more, and he is determined to make her his. But their tumultuous relationship is put to the test as they face the threat of war and the dangers that lurk in the shadows of the werewolf kingdom. As Maddie navigates her place within the Vulkar pack, she begins to uncover secrets about her own past and discovers that she possesses magical powers that could be the key to saving their world. As the stakes grow higher, Maddie and Lucien must learn to trust each other and work together to overcome the challenges that lie ahead. But with the fate of the werewolf kingdom hanging in the balance, can their bond be strong enough to withstand the forces of war, magic, and their own troubled pasts? Or will their love be the very thing that destroys them?

"It's Mayor Montgomery's daughter, Anaïs...Beautiful and...virgin." At these last words, I could hear their cries of satisfaction rising like the cry of wild beasts, ready to do anything to devour me. “So gentlemen, place your bets. Bidding starts from 3 million.” And there...I watched them discuss my price as if I were an object. What had I done to get there? Well, nothing. My only sin was being the daughter of the mayor who has plunged the supernatural people into horror for over 15 years...Indeed, when the government discovered the existence of werewolves, they immediately made a chip that would reduce them to slavery but now that they have revolted, I am an enemy to them. The person they must vent their rage on since my father is now dead. "20 millions." 20 millions ? Still petrified and trembling, I looked up at the man who had just spoken....That scar on his face, that enigmatic look... No, not him. Denver. Slave #345... He was one of my father's five Alpha Slaves. He lived a martyr's life since my father had killed his entire family before bringing him into slavery... He stood out from the crowd because he spent a lot of time spying on me and he even saved my life. However, he was also the one who killed my fathers on the evening of the revolt. Swallowing, I knew that if he bought me it was simply to make me pay for my father's evil... “No…” I whispered, my eyes widening in horror. "20 million...20 million...20million. Awarded."

D'après le médecin, sans le nouveau traitement expérimental, il me restait seulement 72 heures à vivre. Mais la seule place pour ce traitement, Adrien Leroux l'a donnée à Éléna Lemoine. « Son insuffisance rénale est plus grave », a-t-il dit. J'ai hoché la tête, puis j'ai avalé les comprimés blancs qui allaient accélérer ma mort. Durant le temps qu'il me restait, j'ai fait beaucoup de choses. Au moment de signer, la main de l'avocat tremblait. « Vous voulez vraiment céder la totalité des actions ? Vingt milliards ? » J'ai répondu : « Oui. Donnez-les à Éléna. » Ma fille, Chloé, riait dans les bras d'Éléna : « Éléna m'a acheté une nouvelle robe ! » J'ai dit : « Elle te va bien. Il faudra bien l'écouter, d'accord ? » La galerie que j'avais fondée de mes propres mains porte désormais le nom d'Éléna. « Tu es magnifique, Camille », a-t-elle pleuré. J'ai dit : « Tu la géreras mieux que moi. » Même le fonds fiduciaire de mes parents, j'y ai renoncé. Et Adrien Leroux a enfin souri pour la première fois en toutes ces années. Un vrai sourire. « Camille, tu as changé. Tu n'es plus aussi agressive qu'avant. Tu es belle comme ça. » Oui. Moi, Camille, sur le point de mourir, je suis enfin devenue cette femme parfaite à leurs yeux - docile, généreuse, silencieuse. Le compte à rebours des 72 heures a commencé. Je me demande, à l'instant où mon cœur cessera de battre, qu'est-ce qu'ils retiendront de moi ? L'épouse exemplaire qui a enfin appris à lâcher prise, ou cette femme qui a choisi la mort comme ultime revanche ?

...“You can’t win this trial. The pack is against you. Your father is against you. Even your friend…” He paused. “Even she has betrayed you.” Kael’s eyes locked on mine, hard as iron. “So I’ll give you a choice. Trust me, and I’ll make sure you live.” “Trust you? You just claimed me like I was some prize to steal. You said you would kill me if I lost control.” “And I meant it,” he said, voice flat. “But I won’t let them tear you apart like animals. If you let me, I’ll fake your defeat. I’ll claim you fully... On the night of her eighteenth birthday, Lyra Vale’s first shift should have bound her to her pack. Instead, it marked her as the monster they fear most. Born under the cursed Blood Moon Oath, she is fated to either unite the supernatural world… or reduce it to ash. Now every faction wants her blood; the Vampire Courts whisper her name as the key to breaking their chains, while the Witch Sanctum swears she is a mistake of prophecy and her own pack and her family would rather see her buried than crowned. But fate is never merciful. Lyra’s soul is bound to a mate who is both her fiercest protector and her deadliest enemy. A boy who swore an oath that might kill her… and break her in ways no blade could. As betrayal coils tighter than love in a world where alliances shift like shadows and every truth has fangs, Lyra must decide: Will she chain the beast inside her or unleash it? This is because under the Blood Moon, even salvation tastes like blood, every choice bleeds and under the Blood Moon, will love be a weapon?
