I’m trapped, trapped in a mate bond I hate. Will I ever escape its hold on me? “I, Than Sable, Alpha of the Amber Desert Pack, reject you Kaia Glace as my Luna.” I remember his cruel cutting words as if they were only yesterday. Our mate bond is non-existent. That’s a lie, it exists but Than doesn’t allow himself to get close to me…to be alone in a room with me. It’s as if I disgust him. He has reduced me to nothing. A shadow of a mate and I hate him for it. I can’t keep living like this, waiting… I am Kaia Glace, the rightful Luna of the Amber Desert pack. Yet my mate, Alpha Than, refuses to let me rule by his side. I feel cheated by the mate bond, unwanted by my own mate. Years I’ve spent trying to get him to love me…to see me…but how can I? When he has another…. I can’t stay, it isn’t safe for me anymore or my unborn child. A child created by force. I have to leave…to runaway and find my Father. He is the only lifeline I have. However, he was last seen at the enemy pack, the Dark Phantom pack. A notorious pack with a cold and scheming Alpha, who doesn’t take kindly to outsiders. It is said, those who enter the pack are never seen again. But I have no choice…into the enemy pack I must go to rid myself of my mate bond. Only, I myself find another. Another that dooms me to the same trickery of the mate bond.

My best friend, James Swift, went back to the day he was supposed to reconcile with his extremely wealthy birth parents. He was unwilling to be a puppet controlled by the rich, so he was unwilling to return to his birth parents. Hence, he asked me to be his replacement without any hesitation. I looked at his mother, who was wearing a lot of diamond rings, and his father, who was dressed in old-money clothes. I immediately replaced James’s position. It was as if any hesitation would be a huge disrespect to this unexpected wealth. Five years later, James showed up with a DNA report and asked me to leave the Swift family. However, he was too late. After five years, I was no longer just a replacement for him. I was already the right-hand man of Swift Corporation. No one would threaten my status in this family.

Ashamed by how she ran out on her family in their moment of need, Libby has managed a new start and made friends that also have their own reasons for being in a remote location. Libby finally feels safe but a friend isn’t as they seem, and was sent by her own brother, the Alpha King, to track her down. One thing that Libby refuses to accept is that she is a human-werewolf hybrid and already has a mate. A mate she struggles to recognise due to her own personal struggles with accepting her true identity. Unaware of the death of her own father, her family aren’t the only ones now looking for her and it is now a race against time to find her first. She may be living life as a rogue in a remote farm, but one thing she also keeps secret is she is an heiress to a multimillion human empire..all she needs to do is find the inner strength to claim it back.

Evelyn war seit zwei Jahren die Luna des Rotstein-Rudels. Eine arrangierte Machtehe, um das Rudel ihres Vaters zu schützen. Sie hatte keinen Moment damit gerechnet, Gefühle für den kalten Alpha-König zu entwickeln. Aber in den zwei Jahren an seiner Seite sah sie eine Wärme in Reuben, die er verbarg. Nach einer leidenschaftlichen Nacht, die Reuben ihr gegenüber klar als Fehler bezeichnete, erfuhr Evelyn, dass sie schwanger war – mit der lang ersehnten Zukunft des herrschenden Rudels. Doch Evelyns Freude über die Nachricht währte nur kurz, als die große Liebe seines Lebens zurückkehrte, die selbst das Attentat auf ihr Rudel nur knapp überlebt hatte. Schon bald erkannte Evelyn, dass Vicky nicht so unschuldig war, wie sie tat, und es dauerte nicht lange, bis diese ihre Krallen nach Reuben ausfuhr. Nachdem sie seine Ex konfrontiert hatte, wurde Evelyn Opfer eines gezielten Versuchs, ihrem Kind zu schaden. Sie musste eine Entscheidung treffen, um die Zukunft des Rudels vor Vicky und dem Vater ihres eigenen Babys zu schützen. Aber würde der kalte, gnadenlose Alpha-König sie so einfach gehen lassen? War er etwa für den brutalen Überfall auf ihr Familienrudel verantwortlich, der Evelyns Seele brach? Hatte Evelyn Reuben endlich so erkannt, wie er wirklich war – einen Menschen jenseits aller Rettung?

Ich war gefangen, gefangen in einer Gefährtenbindung, die ich hasste. Würde ich jemals ihrem Griff entkommen? „Ich, Than Sable, Alpha des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels, weise dich, Kaia Glace, als meine Luna zurück.“ Ich erinnerte mich an seine grausamen, schneidenden Worte, als wären es erst gestern gewesen. Unsere Gefährtenbindung existierte nicht. Das war eine Lüge. Sie existierte sehr wohl, aber Than erlaubte sich nicht, mir nahezukommen, geschweige denn, mit mir allein in einem Raum zu sein. Es war, als wäre ich ihm ein Ekel. Er machte mich zu nichts – zum Schatten einer Gefährtin, und ich hasste ihn dafür. Ich konnte nicht so weiterleben. Warten… Ich war Kaia Glace, die rechtmäßige Luna des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels. Doch mein Gefährte, Alpha Than, weigerte sich, mich an seiner Seite herrschen zu lassen. Ich fühlte mich von der Gefährtenbindung betrogen, von meinem eigenen Gefährten unerwünscht. Jahre hatte ich damit verbracht, seine Liebe zu gewinnen – gesehen zu werden… Aber wie konnte ich das, wenn er eine andere hatte… Ich konnte nicht bleiben. Es war nicht mehr sicher für mich oder mein ungeborenes Kind. Ein Kind, das durch Gewalt gezeugt wurde. Ich musste gehen… weglaufen und meinen Vater finden. Er war mein einziger Rettungsanker. Allerdings wurde er zuletzt beim Feindesrudel gesehen, dem Dunkelphantom-Rudel. Ein berüchtigtes Rudel mit einem kalten, berechnenden Alpha, der nichts von Außenseitern hielt. Es hieß, die, die das Rudel betraten, wurden nie wieder gesehen. Doch ich hatte keine Wahl… Ich musste ins Feindesrudel, um mich meiner Gefährtenbindung zu entledigen. Doch dort begegnete ich einem anderen – einem anderen, der mich demselben trügerischen Spiel der Gefährtenbindung auslieferte.

Evelyn had been the Luna of the Red Stone Pack for the past two years. An arranged marriage of power to protect her father’s pack, she didn’t for one moment expect to develop feelings for the cold Alpha King. But in the two years ruling by his side, she sees a warmth to Reuben that he keeps hidden. After a night of passion that Reuben makes clear to Evelyn was a mistake, she finds out she is pregnant with the longed future for the ruling pack. However Evelyn’s happiness at the news is short lived when the love of Reuben’s life returns only just surviving the murder of her own pack. Evelyn soon realises that Vicky isn’t as innocent as she makes out and doesn’t take long for her to get her claws into Reuben. After confronting his ex, Evelyn is a victim of a deliberate attempt to harm her child. She must make a decision to protect the pack’s future from Vicky and the baby’s own father. But will the cold ruthless Alpha King refuse to let her go so easily? Will he be responsible for the brutal attack on her family pack, leaving Evelyn’s soul broken? Has Evelyn finally seen Reuben for what he is, beyond salvation…

After an unexpected miscarriage, I left my ward in search of Victor. I saw him inside the doctor’s office. Just as I was about to knock on the door, I overheard their conversation. “Give my wife a hysterectomy. I don’t need her to bear me any children.” Victor Gayes pulled the woman beside him to face the doctor, his hand rubbing her belly. “The baby inside her belly will be my only child. You must protect it no matter what.” I knew the woman very well. She was Victor’s secretary of three years, Rachel Aniston. Victor reminded the doctor again and again, sternly and anxiously. “You have to give her the best medicine. I won’t allow anything to go wrong with this baby!” I pulled my hand back, all my blood running cold. To think Victor would do something so heartless to me, just after I lost our baby. To think my faith in him would become a dagger, stabbed straight into my heart. If love had another face, it would probably be letting these feelings go with a smile.
