Damien y su exesposa se divorciaron hace cinco años, y luego él se casó conmigo. Cuando nos casamos, él tenía una hija adoptiva de 13 años llamada Lily. Después de nuestro matrimonio, Damien me trató excepcionalmente bien y yo siempre traté a Lily como si fuera mi propia hija; incluso cuando en ocasiones ella mostraba hostilidad hacia mí, no me importaba. Eso es normal en una chica adolescente, después de todo. Hasta que mi padre fue accidentalmente atropellado por un coche y quedó en estado vegetativo. Fue allí que, por casualidad, escuché una conversación entre Damien y su asistente. —Jefe, no lo entiendo. ¿Por qué bloquear la craneotomía? —preguntó el asistente, sonando confundido—. Los médicos dicen que hay una alta probabilidad de que él pueda recuperarse. ¿Por qué insiste en un tratamiento conservador? —Él no puede despertar —la voz de Damien estaba contenida por el dolor—. Vio el rostro de Lily. Me cubrí la boca con la mano, clavando las uñas profundamente en mi carne. Lily es la hija adoptiva de Damien y de su difunta exesposa, Sarah. Sarah murió salvando a Damien, por lo que él siempre ha tratado a Lily con una mezcla de culpa y total indulgencia. Damien continuó, con un tono increíblemente conflictivo: —¡Pero Lily no lo hizo a propósito! Solo tiene trece años… Si obtiene antecedentes penales, su vida se acabará. El único deseo de Sarah antes de morir fue que yo cuidara de Lily y la viera crecer sana y salva. No puedo renunciar a ella. El asistente guardó silencio durante unos segundos. —¿Y qué hay de su esposa? —Voy a compensarla por esto —la voz de Damien se suavizó—. Le proporcionaré la vida más próspera y conseguiré la sala privada más grande junto con los mejores cuidadores para su padre, quien sufrió el accidente automovilístico. No me importa cuánto cueste. Mi corazón se hundió por completo. ¿Solo porque te sientes culpable con Sarah y Lily vas a sacrificar a mi padre? Con las manos temblorosas, guardé la grabación que tomé y le pedí a mi abogado que preparara los papeles del divorcio. Sin embargo, cuando desaparecí por completo de su vida, el una vez poderoso CEO se volvió loco.

My family is the oldest healing bloodline in the Frostmoon Pack, and I am the most promising talent to become the pack's Chief Healer. My destined mate, who promised to mark me on my 20th birthday, instead chose my stepsister Eliza on the very day that was meant to be mine. Then Alaric Blackwood, the legendarily powerful and cold Alpha of the Blackwood pack, openly pursued me after I was abandoned. For five years after becoming his mate, he treated me with tender care and bone-deep devotion. He told me not to work so hard as a healer and to focus on being his Luna. Until I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his loyal Beta. "Alpha, Eliza has already become Chief Healer. How long will you continue pretending to love Amara?" "It doesn't matter since I can't be Eliza's mate anyway. Besides, as long as I'm with Amara, she won't interfere with Eliza's happiness." Every night, he prayed to the Moon Goddess, and every word was filled with longing and love for Eliza. "May the Moon Goddess bless Eliza. May she find peace in body and spirit." "May the Moon Goddess grant Eliza all she desires, and protect all that she loves." ... "Eliza, we're not destined for each other in this life. I only pray we become fated mates in the next." Only then did I realize that my mate—his body belonged to me, but his heart belonged deeply to my stepsister. I've prepared a fake identity and planned a staged death at the hands of rogue wolves. From now on, we will never meet again, in this life or any other.

Three years into our marriage, I finally learned from my husband. I went looking for love somewhere else. Three years ago, when his family went bankrupt, I handed him every cent I had. I nursed his dying grandfather. To support his entrepreneurial venture, I accompanied investors in drinking until I suffered stomach hemorrhages—time and time again. In the end, he honored his grandfather's dying wish and married me. Then he got blind drunk on our wedding day and walked out before the vows were finished. He said he hated me. Hated me for driving his childhood sweetheart Seraphina away. Hated me for costing him the only woman he ever loved. Our marriage was his revenge. Until the day Seraphina came home, and I slid the divorce papers across the table. The man who swore he hated me went red in the eyes, staring at the kiss mark on my throat…

Luna Astrid had been a faithful and dedicated partner to Alpha Jarvis and the entire Emberclaw pack. She took care of the pack when Jarvis was away. She was happy when she learned that Jarvis would be coming home. She waited, only for him to come back with a lady he claimed was his fated mate. Astrid was torn apart. Yet, Jarvis assured her that bringing another woman to the pack wouldn't change anything between them. A situation occurred, and Astrid was accused of theft. She pleaded innocent, but no one listened. She was subjected to the walk of shame, forced to walk naked in front of the entire pack. With certainty that her world had come to an end, the twisted and dark alpha of the Shadowfen pack took her in. He trained her, and she became one of the best warriors in Veridian. When tragedy struck the Emberclaw pack, Jarvis ran to the Shadowfen pack to ask for help. "How dare you ask for my help after what you let them did to me?" Astrid demanded. "I'm sorry, Astrid. I was lost and following the pack orders. You should come home." Jarvis pleaded on his knees. "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Astrid belongs to me and to the Shadowfen Pack." Soren pulled Astrid to his side, not willing to let her go. Would Astrid go back to her pack, to the man she once loved or stay with the man that had saved her?

Nach dem großen Krieg zwischen Menschen, Vampiren, Werwölfen und Elfen wurde ein Abkommen geschlossen: Hybride Nachkommen sollten über die Welt herrschen. In jedem Jahrhundert entschieden Heiratsallianzen zwischen den Menschen und den drei Clans darüber, wer der nächste Weltenherrscher wurde. Die Blutlinie, die als Erste ein Hybridkind hervorbrachte, beanspruchte die Macht. In meinem letzten Leben entschied ich mich, Jax zu heiraten, den ältesten Sohn des Werwolfrudels, der für seine fanatische Loyalität bekannt war. Ich brachte unseren hybriden Sohn zur Welt – einen weißfelligen Welpen, den wir Zeal nannten. Unser Kind wurde zum neuen Herrscher der Welt, und Jax gewann unermessliche Macht. Meine Schwester hingegen war von der Schönheit der Elfen besessen und heiratete in ihren Clan ein. Doch der Elfenprinz ließ keine Gelegenheit aus und nahm sich jede Frau im Wald. Am Ende zog sich meine Schwester eine Krankheit zu, die sie unfruchtbar machte. Von Neid und Verbitterung zerfressen legte sie ein Feuer, das mich und meinen jungen Welpen bei lebendigem Leib verbrannte. Als ich die Augen erneut öffnete, war ich wieder am Tag der Rassenallianzen. Meine Schwester hatte bereits als Erste mit Jax geschlafen. Ich wusste, dass auch sie wiedergeboren worden war. Doch sie wusste nicht, dass Jax gegenüber seinen Gefährtinnen grausam und brutal war – während seiner Brunst hatte er in seinem Bett bereits unzählige Wölfinnen zerfleischt.

Después de que mis padres murieran, fui adoptada inesperadamente por el Alfa y la Luna, convirtiéndome en la única humana en territorio de lobos. Durante veinte años, sus gemelos, herederos Alfa, me colmaron de cariño, y su cortejo y favoritismo hicieron que todos me envidiaran con locura. Pero, cuando quise elegir a un compañero, ambos me rechazaron. —Quiero enfocarme primero en expandir nuestro territorio de lobos —dijo Kane—. No quiero encontrar un compañero tan temprano. —Los humanos no pueden soportar el linaje de sangre Alfa —añadió Liam, por su parte. Al día siguiente, en el banquete de mi cumpleaños, ambos le propusieron matrimonio al mismo tiempo a la hija de la sirvienta Omega, y, para hacerla feliz, me obligaron a beber licor «Llama de Sangre», algo que un humano era incapaz de soportar. Se me rompió el corazón por completo, y el día que me dieron de alta del hospital, llamé a mi madre adoptiva: —Estoy dispuesta a casarme con el Rey Vampiro.
