Sera Hazbin Hotel

Sera Quinn had one job. Marry a dying man, keep her head down, and wait. Nobody told her that Damien Voss did not die on anyone's schedule but his own. She was twenty two years old when her stepfather sat her down at the kitchen table and explained her options. Her mother was sick. The bills were swallowing everything. And the most powerful billionaire in the country was lying unconscious in a private hospital ward with his family desperate enough to pay a small fortune to any woman willing to stand beside him at the altar. All Sera had to do was say yes. She said yes. She had no other word left. She moved into his mansion and tried to be invisible. She talked to him in the dark of his room every night because there was nobody else and because she was sure he could not hear her. She told him things she had never told anyone. She told him she was scared. She told him she was pregnant. Then she overheard four words that changed everything and she ran before the sun came up. Four years later she had rebuilt herself from nothing. A career. A spine. Twin children with their father's eyes. A case file she had been building alone, one quiet hour at a time, that connected a road barrier report to a name that would put people in prison. She had one rule. Stay away from Damien Voss. Then her four year old daughter hacked into his private server and left him a message. Damien was already in his car before Sera found out what her daughter had done. He was not coming to talk. And Sera Quinn was finally done running.

But when a chance encounter leads her into the arms of Lucien Calder, the tech billionaire who was the last known person to see her sister, she makes a dangerous choice: infiltrate his world and expose the truth from within. Lucien is controlled, powerful, and hiding something behind every careful word. He offers her a deal: stay with him for one week, and he’ll give her what she wants. But the closer Sera gets to uncovering what happened, the more tangled she becomes in a web of secrets, emotional manipulation, and a slow-burning desire she didn’t see coming.

Sera Blackwood never thought her fated mate would reject her in front of the entire pack. But Alpha Thorne Ashford did exactly that, throwing her away for a political marriage like she meant nothing. Broken and humiliated, she runs into the one place no pack wolf should ever go. The Rogue territory. That's where the Rogue King finds her. Kade is dangerous, deadly, and everything she should fear. But instead of killing her, he sees what she didn't even know she was. A Silver Blood. The rarest, most powerful wolf alive. The kind the Council has been hunting down and killing for centuries. Now Thorne wants her back. His wolf is going crazy without her, and he'll destroy everything to get her. But Sera isn't that weak Omega anymore. Under Kade's training, she's becoming something terrifying. Something that could change the werewolf world forever. Something they'll kill to keep buried. Caught between the Alpha who broke her heart and the Rogue King teaching her to fight back, Sera has to choose to either forgive the mate who broke her, or stand with the dangerous man showing her just how powerful she really is. Because the Council is coming, War is building and her choice will decide everything that'll happen. They'll all learn what happens when you awaken a Silver Blood.

Ella estaba destinada a ser una Luna. Por eso juró que se convertiría en una Alfa en su lugar. Nacida en una poderosa línea de sangre Alfa, Seraphina "Sera" Nightbane pasó su vida preparándose para liderar. Pero en un mundo donde solo los Alfas varones gobiernan, su destino estaba sellado: un matrimonio arreglado con el despiadado Rey Alfa. En vez de vivir su vida en una jaula, Sera desapareció la víspera de su boda, disfrazándose de chico para ingresar a la Academia Lupina, un brutal campo de entrenamiento para futuros Alfas. Está decidida a demostrarse a sí misma. Es entonces cuando Ronan Volkstane entra en escena. Frío, dominante y peligrosamente perceptivo, Ronan es un depredador nato. Ve a Seth Darven como un desafío, como un rival… aunque algo en él le parece extraño. Está decidido a descubrir la verdad, sin importar el costo. A medida que las tensiones se encienden y los secretos se desvelan, Sera debe luchar por su lugar, por su libertad… contra el único Alfa que podría destruir todo lo que ha construido o reclamarla por completo.

Seraphina Ashford never knew her family carried a blood debt—until the night before her twentieth birthday, when she's sold to Crimson Hollow Academy to pay for sins three centuries old. Trapped in a Gothic vampire academy shrouded in eternal twilight, Sera discovers she possesses a rare and deadly gift: Truthsight, the ability to see lies, curses, and death itself. While others see an elite school training vampire nobility, Sera sees something far more sinister—a black rot spreading through the academy, slowly killing everyone inside. She's soon caught between two impossible men: Caspian Noctis, the beautiful, calculating vampire prince who bought her debt and is hiding devastating secrets, and Raven Thorne, the warm but dangerous dhampir who's been protecting her family for longer than she knows. Both want to save her.

The ninth bonding ceremony between me and the Alpha King, Thorne Ravencrest, is finally here. Yet once again, I failed to become his Luna Queen. Not because he broke his promise, but because I'm not qualified enough. The Elders made it crystal clear that every Luna Queen recognized by the Moon Goddess throughout history must cultivate 365 Moonlight Flowers using their own blood essence. But every year on the eve of the ceremony, no matter how careful I am, there's always one flower missing. This year, I nearly drained myself completely and barely managed to grow the right number. Ecstatic, I go to find Thorne, wanting to surprise him. Through the partially open door of the throne hall, I hear his Beta say to him, "Alpha King, Sera's been waiting for you for eight years now. Are you ever going to bond with her?" Thorne shakes his head. "I promised Willow we can't bond this year either." His Beta hesitates. "What if Sera actually manages to grow enough Moonlight Flowers?" Thorne goes silent for a moment, then claps his hands. A shadow wolf appears and melts into the darkness. Before long, a shadow wolf returns with a Moonlight Flower clamped in its jaws. He tears the flower into shreds and lets out a sigh. "Sera has plenty of blood. Forget one year. She could keep cultivating for another ten years and still be fine. "But Willow's been poisoned with wolfsbane. I'm all she has left, and she wants me by her side in her final days. "I can't bear to refuse Willow, which means Sera will just have to wait a bit longer." I bite my lip hard, barely able to believe what I'm hearing. So the Moonlight Flowers that kept mysteriously disappearing were all destroyed by him. Becoming Luna Queen has been my dream since childhood. But if he never intended to bond with me at all, then it's time I leave him.

I breathe heavily as he pins me to the wall, his hands wrapped tight around my throat I could barely breathe. ‘You hear me, Sera? I found you first. I noticed you first! I fell for you first. No one else, I mean, no one should put their hands on you, because if they do, I swear to God, Sera, I'll fucking break their arms and legs and serve it to you to eat!’ He growls. Seraphina Puckett is the perfect definition of trauma. A walking trauma. She tries to navigate her life, trying to bring in sunshine but as the world is determined to make it rain on her, what does she do? Does she get beaten in the rain or walk through it? When her abusive father gets out of prison and is out to get her, how does she face her fear?
