“I’m done with you, Aurora Fernandez—if that’s even your name.” Mia’s voice trembled with rage as she turned for the door. “You’ll regret refusing me,” Aurora snapped behind her. Mia's hand touched the knob—just as it turned on its own. The door creaked open. Her heart dropped. Standing in the doorway was a face she never wanted to see again. Lucius Lovato. The cold, merciless CEO of the department store where she'd once worked. His eyes swept over her with visible disdain. “Who is this little thing, Eva?” he asked, his voice hoarse and biting. And just like that, Mia knew—she was trapped again. Wrongfully accused. Publicly humiliated. Betrayed by the only man she ever loved. Mia Simpson thought she'd hit rock bottom. Then came the offer—escape prison and start over, under one terrifying condition: seduce and marry Lucius Lovato, the mafia heir with a heart of ice and a soul no one dares touch. But Mia isn’t the fragile girl the world thinks she is. She agrees to the deal—on her own terms. Behind her innocent eyes burns a thirst for revenge, and the deeper she steps into the dark world of power, blood, and secrets, the more dangerous she becomes.

She is the legacy of something much greater… and much more feared. He was her mission. She was his undoing. But in the underworld, love might just be the most dangerous weapon of all.

The sound of footsteps was what rented the room, it was coming from a tall figure, his gaze never left the man that was tied down on a chair with both his hands chained down on the table The figure held a sharp silver colored knife in his hand, twirling as if it was his play toy, a vicious smirk playing on his lips Every step he took instilled fear and panic inside the man that was tied down. “Boss please forgive me! I was drunk so I thought she was one of the clan's whóre I swear I didn't know she was yours" The man begged like his life depended on it. "Which hand did you use to touch her" Aurelio spoke calmly. "My.. My.. L-Left-" He wasn't chanced to finish his sentence when Aurelio cut off his left hand completely. Blood splashed on his cheek as it began bumping out of the man's hand. "Aargh!!!" The agonizing cry from the man echoed in the room as he peed on himself. Aurelio turned to Amour who looked horrified with the scene she just witnessed. His hands found his way to her neck and he gripped it tightly, bringing her face close to his so he could have a clear view of the terrified look on her face. "This Is just the highest level of my kindness compared to what I can do. Remember this, you're mine! Mine to touch, mine to f**k, mine to do whatever I want with... No one else... But me"

Meine beste Freundin Ada hatte Mitleid mit mir, weil ich seit acht Jahren in Theo verliebt war. Als unsere Wölfe einander als Gefährten erkannten, gab Ada mir einfach ein krafterhöhendes Kraut und schickte mich in Theos Bett. Berauscht von meinem Duft, hat Theo mich wie ein Besessener beansprucht. Als ich am nächsten Morgen aufwachte, erklärte er kühl, dass er der Markierungszeremonie zustimmte. Doch schon kurz nach der Markierung reiste Theo immer wieder zu Rudeln nach Europa und blieb ganze fünf Jahre lang weg. Ich zog unseren Sohn Alex allein groß und wartete im Rudelhaus auf seine Rückkehr. Aber er kam nie zurück und sagte mir nur, dass er keine Welpen möge. Bis zu Alex’ Geburtstagsfeier, als ich ein Video sah, in dem ihm jemand eine Frage stellte: „Theo, was war dein glücklichster Moment?“ Er antwortete gleichgültig: „Letzte Woche in Europa, nachdem ich Marcus ins Bett gebracht hatte, habe ich Claire mit an den Esstisch im Wohnzimmer genommen.“ Zwischen Pfiffen und Jubel wurde mir plötzlich eiskalt an Händen und Füßen. Claire war seine Ex-Freundin, Marcus ihr Sohn. Man erzählte, Theo habe die letzten fünf Jahre mit ihnen in Europa gelebt – also stimmte alles. Mein Herz war vollkommen gebrochen. Ich reichte beim Alpha-Rat die Auflösung der Gefährtenbindung ein und verließ Nordamerika mit meinem Sohn. Unsere Rudelregistrierung ließ ich löschen.

Laurens Leben wurde auf den Kopf gestellt, als ihr erwählter Gefährte von zehn Jahren sie für seine Schicksalsgefährtin verließ. Eine Gefährtin, die ihn einst für einen mächtigeren Alpha abgewiesen hatte. Mit ihrer Rückkehr in ihr Leben wurde Lauren alles genommen und sie blieb mit nichts zurück. Gebrochen und niedergeschlagen ging sie fort, unfähig den verzehrenden Schmerz des Verrats zu ertragen. Die Umstände zwangen sie zur Rückkehr, und sie fand einen unerwarteten Verbündeten in Alpha Sebastian. Ein Mann, der gleichermaßen gefürchtet wie verehrt wurde. Ein König ohne Thron, der sowohl über die Menschen- als auch die Wolfswelt herrschte. Er war außerdem der Erzfeind ihres ehemaligen Gefährten. Ihre Verbindung war ungewöhnlich. Er war zu kalt und sie entsprach nicht seinem Typ. Liebe stand nicht auf ihrer Agenda. Warum durchfuhr sie dann dieses Kribbeln, wenn er sie als seine bezeichnete? Und warum sah er sie an, als wäre sie seine Erlösung? Es stellte sich heraus, dass ihre Feinde ihre geringste Sorge war. Nicht wenn die wahre Gefahr im Feuer lag, das zwischen ihnen entfacht. Das Feuer, das sie in Liebe und Leidenschaft entflammen oder sie zerstören konnte. Hinweis: Dieses Buch ist eine Zwei-in-Eins-Ausgabe.
