Kilalanin si Avianna Stusick. Isang spoiled brat, impulsive and uncontrollable seventeen- year old girl. Ginagawa niya ang lahat ng gusto niya sa kahit na anong paraan.

Everyone envied how my best friend and I mated to the Alpha twins of the Creek Pack. But the pack didn't know that Victoria, their widowed stepmother, was the one the Alpha twins truly loved. My best friend Cathy and I planned to run away, but the night before our escape, she poisoned herself with wolfsbane. I called her mate Damon, but he sneered, "Luna, my brother says, your and Cathy's little tricks are getting really old. Are you going to jump off Silver Cliff tomorrow?"

On my wedding day, my arranged fiancé abandoned me and chose my sister instead. As I became the laughingstock of every elite guest in attendance, my business partner James Crawford shocked everyone by publicly proposing to me with a passionate declaration of love. After we married, he was incredibly attentive, especially during my pregnancy when he catered to my every need. I thought my suffering had finally ended. Until I overheard his confession to my sister: "I've only ever loved you." James's voice carried a passion I'd never heard him use with me. "Marry her? I was only after her resources, connections, and her talent for making money. She's nothing but a useful cash cow." "Now that she's pregnant, even better." His tone was coldly calculating. "With the baby, she'll be even more dependent on me, more devoted. She'll never leave." Everything I had treasured—our love, our marriage—was all a lie. Learning the truth, I turned and walked away without a word. I was done with this charade. Everything that belonged to me, I would reclaim with my own hands.

My twin Alpha brothers believed that I have deliberately hidden the vast inheritance left by our Alpha parents so that our adoptive sister Sophia couldn’t by the medical equipment to treat her silver poisoning. For the sake of our adoptive sister, my twin Alpha brothers dragged me before the Council's tribunal. They accused me of stealing pack assets and deliberately harming pack members. If the charges stuck, the Alpha Council would strip away my Alpha power to treat Sophia. My brothers had no idea that years ago, I'd nearly died protecting them. If I lost my Alpha bloodline strength, I would die. In my own brothers' eyes, I was already a criminal beyond redemption. But when the Council used ancient magic to extract my memories for judgment, everyone wept for me. And when my brothers learned the truth, they fell to their knees, begging my forgiveness.

*Please be aware this is technically books 1 and 2* Laura was convinced for the longest time that Xander, her pack's future Alpha, was her destined mate. Even if it was against the current Alpha (Clide) and Luna's (Ashly) wishes she was certain they would be together. Well, that all changed the day Alpha Victor arrived and she learned her fate. She was to marry this Victor, whose cruel, terrifying, and mean reputation seems true. To make matters more complicated Laura learns the truth behind the so-called rouge attacks that have been plaguing her pack since her birth, not only killing her own parents but many other innocent people. With the help of her best friend Ellen, adoptive big brother Domini, and Bella will she be able to handle her arranged marriage and fight off the looming threat?

Le jour où j'allais accoucher, une meute de loups renégats m'a encerclée. Ils m'ont éventrée et ont réduit mon enfant en lambeaux. Mon compagnon Alpha, Marcus, est devenu fou. Il m'a conduite d'urgence au centre de soins et a ordonné aux guérisseurs de sauver ma vie. « Si quelque chose arrive à ma compagne, vous le paierez de vos vies », a-t-il crié. Alors qu'on me transportait vers la table d'opération, j'ai entendu sa conversation avec son Bêta. « Alpha, ces loups déguisés en renégats ont déjà été relâchés en secret de la Prison d'Argent. » « Tant qu'on obtient sa lettre de pardon, le Conseil des Alphas ne poursuivra pas l'affaire. » « C'est juste que… à la fois Luna et Mlle Céleste portent vos enfants. N'est-ce pas un peu cruel envers Scarlett… » Le ton de Marcus s'est glacé tandis qu'il a lancé un regard d'avertissement à son Bêta. « Scarlett ne peut pas donner naissance à cet enfant ! Mon héritier ne peut naître que de Céleste. Je lui ai promis que son enfant serait l'héritier Alpha. » Son Bêta n'a pas osé contredire, il a seulement contenu son mécontentement. « Mais… il y avait d'autres moyens. On n'était pas obligés de laisser Mlle Céleste engager des renégats pour littéralement déchiqueter l'enfant de Luna… » « La louve de Luna est restée endormie depuis le début de sa grossesse, ce qui l'a privée de ses capacités de guérison. Les guérisseurs disent qu'elle pourrait ne pas survivre. » Marcus est devenu froid, mêlé d'impuissance. « Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'ils soient aussi brutaux. » « Monte la garde. Assure-toi que les guérisseurs la sauvent. S'il lui arrive quoi que ce soit, ils savent ce qu'ils risquent. C'est tout ce que je peux faire désormais. Plus tard, je lui offrirai toutes les ressources de la meute en guise de compensation. » Les portes du centre de soins se sont refermées lentement, coupant à jamais mon amour pour Marcus. Quand je me suis réveillée, il ne restait que la douleur lancinante dans mon bas-ventre, et un amas de chair et de sang…

My Alpha mate has canceled our carefully planned honeymoon trips fourteen times for his Omega secretary. The first time, because of the secretary's phone call about "lost territorial maps," he didn't hesitate to abandon me at a strange Nordic airport. The second time, because of the secretary's plea for help, he drove back alone to the pack's core territory, leaving me alone in the dangerous hunting grounds. For four years, I carefully planned fourteen honeymoon trips, but each time my mate would abandon me to choose to accompany his Omega secretary. Finally, I stopped insisting and decided to give up this mating relationship that was never firmly chosen. But when I joined the Alpha Council's secret research project and decided to leave forever, he cried and searched the whole world for me.

Dans notre meute, chaque loup avait une seule chance dans sa vie d'utiliser un élixir d'amélioration pour renforcer ses capacités, mais cet élixir ne fonctionnait que s'il était préparé par soi-même. Dans ma vie précédente, même si j'étais une simple Oméga, j'avais passé mes journées et mes nuits à préparer mon propre élixir pour devenir la Gamma de la meute. Mais, le jour de la sélection, dès que je me suis transformée, j'ai totalement perdu le contrôle. Ma louve s'est aussitôt prosternée aux pieds de Victoria, la petite-fille du Bêta actuel. Sous les acclamations de toute la meute, Victoria est devenue la nouvelle Gamma. Moi, on m'a battue et humiliée. Tout le monde disait que j'avais volé l'élixir de Victoria, et c'est pour ça que je ne contrôlais plus ma louve. Ils m'ont coupé les deux mains et m'ont jetée dans une mine d'argent. J'ai souffert d'une douleur insupportable dans cette fosse, mes os rongés par l'argent. Jusqu'à mon dernier souffle, je n'ai pas compris… Comment mon propre élixir avait-il pu faire plier ma louve devant Victoria ? Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue une semaine avant la sélection du Gamma. Cette fois, j'ai renoncé à participer et je suis partie seule dans la forêt pour m'entraîner au combat. Le Bêta Richard est resté planté dans l'embrasure de ma maison, me demandant par notre lien mental pourquoi je partais à un moment si important. Pendant ce temps, j'ai retiré mon amulette protectrice, puis je me suis transformée seule en louve pour aller affronter les loups errants sur leur territoire.

My Alpha brother's Omega assistant had always wanted to be Luna. She didn’t know my identity and she mistook me as a rival trying to steal her place. She framed me for theft and tortured me without mercy. As I lay dying, it was my old companion—Rex, the Siberian war dog who had fought beside my brother and earned the highest military honors—who sacrificed his life to protect me. She dragged me by my hair, smugly satisfied, and threw me before the crowd like refuse. In her hands, she flaunted her "gift" made from Rex's fur. She had no idea she was about to face the fury of the entire werewolf world.

What happens when an assassin finds out that a bounty has been put on her high school friend and ex lover? What's more shocking? She finds out that he is in one of the most lethal Mafia groups. Would she protect him from the bounty hunters or join them
