“Father!” I gasped, “No!!!” “Lauren, stay alive…” I lost my entire family on the day I became an adult. It was also the day I was supposed to meet my fiancé. But all that happened was a bloody disaster! I will never forget the pain of being pressed to the ground and humiliated by the traitors. “I’m the one that should have been in charge of the pack! Your father is a loser!” “You’re a stain on my life, child, just like your useless father.” “Lauren, I am the real Alpha’s daughter and you’re nothing!” I never imagined that my uncle, mother and sister would betray my father. Their evil words still lingered in my mind. When I was pushed off a cliff, I thought my life was over. But someone appeared. He saved me and told me he’s my mate! “I can help, but we have to make a deal…” Filled with a burning hatred, my blood was boiling. All of the rebels will pay the price for this if it’s the last thing I do! But I developed a special affection for my rescuer. Was this another calamity for me?

En una fastuosa fiesta, el joven heredero del sector declaró que la mujer con la que realmente quería desposarse era mi hermanastra en vez de mí. Me retiré con iniciativa y me casé con Leonardo Pérez, quien me quería durante muchos años. Después de casarnos, éramos felices y amorosos...Hasta que, al estar embarazada con gran esfuerzo, descubrí que en la leche que él me daba cada noche había contenido anticonceptivos. Y el collar de diamantes que guardaba en la caja fuerte, superficialmente destinado a pedirme matrimonio, llevaba grabadas las siglas del nombre de mi hermanastra, Olivia. Resultó que yo siempre había sido solo un obstáculo que él intentaba eliminar para su verdadero amor. Durante años fingió ternura solo para allanar el camino a mi hermanastra. Por más ingenua que fuera, en ese instante desperté por completo: una autorización de aborto, un acuerdo de divorcio… Leonardo y yo nos convertimos en extraños.

Asher Blackwood, Alpha heir to the Frostmoon Pack, had two mate candidates. One was me. The other was Serena Walsh. We were both orphaned girls adopted by the former Alpha. In my previous life, Serena died tragically in a landslide when Asher officially became Alpha. I became his Luna. I spent my whole life helping Asher to develop Frostmoon Pack into one of the top five packs in the southern territories. But when Asher successfully won the Alpha King election, he publicly announced that the dead Serena was his only Luna. He even submitted a mate bond dissolution agreement to the Alpha Council and banished me from the territory. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day Asher chose his mate. But when I quit the competition and walked away, Asher and the whole pack were on their knees begging me to come back.

I dated Jacob, my Alpha, for five years. Yet on the day of our marking ceremony, he marked another she-wolf behind my back. “Molly is pregnant with my pup, your new heir!” Jacob proudly announced the news. Everyone cheered for them. I stood in the crowd and ignored the challenging look Molly gave me. When the ceremony was about to end, I turned around numbly. I knew that I was unnecessary here, so I went back to the house I shared with Jacob and packed up to leave. I had joined Jacob’s pack because I loved him. Since he no longer felt the same, it was time for me to leave.

…He caresses my check and I close my eyes and lean close so as to get more of his touch. "Catania, why is your pheromone doing this to me?" He asks calmly and this time around, I open my eyes. "Because… because you don't want to accept the…" my sentence is caught off by the feel of his lips colliding with mine. A thunder of emotions strike within me as he kisses me passionately, like he owns me, loves me. I return the kiss with all my might as I decide to forget everything that is going on and enjoy the moment. Without breaking the kiss, he gently pulls me into his big muscular arms and further intensifies the kiss. His lips are warm and soft. They are partly sighted, allowing my tongue to slip inside. Our bodies are pressed together heatedly as I our lips joined with each other's. I can taste our shared breath and feel the taste of our combined heartbeat. Warmth blossoms in my chest, igniting it as Alpha Nolan leans in close, with his lips brushing tentatively. This is my first kiss ever. The smell of his perfume is dizzying and it causes butterflies to dance in my stomach. My eyes are close and they seem to have gotten stuck. I want to open them, I want to get a better look at Alpha Nolan's dark brown eyes, I want to admire his crazy vampire hairline. I have the feeling this is never going to happen again and that this might even ruin what is left in my life, so I want to open my eyes and bear some witness but I can't, because I am so tired and his mouth is so soft… He cannot ignore the connection even if he wanted to…
