St Thomas Blackbeard Castle

"You, my dear, will be going to help us to decide that. You will pick a king." "Say what now?" "I'm not going to repeat it since I know that you have heard me." "Fine! You want me to decide?! Nate!" I pointed to prince Nathaniel, if I remember correctly. He was slightly taken aback and a confused expression was replaced. "Do you want to be a king?" "I...uh...Yes?" He said. Unsure of his answer. It made me wonder if the expression on my face had forced him to say yes. "Good. Then you'll be the king. "What!? But that's not how you decide it!" PRINCE Ace said. "Fine! You're all kings. In fact, we ALL can be kings!!" **** She's Rosalie Amber Stan.

They called me "slave, whore, mistake." But he called me HIS. By day, I scrubbed floors while they laughed. By night, he took me to his bed and made me forget the cold. I thought that was love. I thought that being his mistress was better than being nothing. Until I begged him, “Clear my name, Logan. Let them know I’m not just the woman you touch in the dark.” He looked at me, and his jaw tightened, his eyes colder than I’d ever seen. “You knew what this was.” “Then make it more,” I whispered. “I need it to be more.” But he walked away, and broke me further. --- Reina Vale was accused of murdering her parents, and her life became worse than that of a slave, with even the loveliest servant spitting in her face.

Ihr Vater wurde gelähmt, als er den Alpha des Rudels beschützte. Cara war dazu bestimmt, Riks Wächterin zu werden, wenn er das Amt des Alphas übernimmt. Doch Rik wusste nicht einmal, wer sie war. Als der Alpha eines Nachbarrudels den Wunsch äußerte, sie zu seiner Gefährtin zu machen, geriet Cara zwischen die Fronten der beiden Alphas.

Als ein dritter Bewerber um Cara sie gewaltsam zu seiner Luna machen wollte, mussten ihre Alphas sie retten, bevor es zu spät war. Cara war dazu bestimmt, eine Luna zu werden – doch würde es durch Zwang geschehen, durch Schicksal, oder würde sie ihre eigene Entscheidung treffen? Dies ist das erste Buch der Wächter-Trilogie.

"On the table!" He ordered, leaving me fear-stricken as I scurried and positioned myself the way he had instructed earlier. Who was I to disobey the most callous Alpha King? "Part those legs!" He bellowed calmly, yet dangerously, emphasizing on every word. His voice sounded like the voices of many mighty men...authoritative, mysterious, deafening..like a thunder ready to strike. My eyes travelled up to the Moon that hung up in the sky, communicating to it as if telling it to send me a saviour. "There is no one coming to save you, Aurora. I am your new master. Now take off your clothes, I want to see the goods I purchased!" *** Aurora was supposed to be the Alpha's beloved daughter, but fate played a trick on her, making her serve as the pack's slave instead. Someone stole her life. Years went by, the truth got exposed, but when she was about to live her best life and assume her role in the pack, trouble rears its ugly head. Her pack was under attack.

What if plans changed and she finds not one, not two, but three Alpha Kings ready to claim her? Would she agree to become their breeder? How long would she be able to resist their charms?

Dark Romance Emilia Rossi führt ein ruhiges Leben zwischen Studium, Zukunftsplänen und klaren moralischen Vorstellungen, bis eine einzige Begegnung sie in den Einflussbereich eines Mannes zieht, dessen Welt aus Macht, Kontrolle und kompromisslosen Entscheidungen besteht. Dante Moretti ist nicht nur ein Name, der hinter vorgehaltener Hand geflüstert wird, sondern der skrupellose Kopf eines Imperiums, das auf Loyalität und Angst aufgebaut ist, und er hat sich seinen Platz an der Spitze durch Härte und strategische Kälte gesichert. Als Emilia ungewollt in einen Konflikt gerät, der größer ist als sie begreift, erkennt Dante sofort die Gefahr, die von dieser neuen Verwundbarkeit ausgeht, und entscheidet, dass sie in seiner Nähe bleiben wird, weil er keine offenen Flanken duldet. Was als Schutzmaßnahme beginnt, entwickelt sich zu einer intensiven Dynamik, in der Macht auf Widerstand trifft und Nähe zu einem Spiel aus Kontrolle und Verlangen wird. Emilia weigert sich, sich seiner Welt kampflos zu unterwerfen, während Dante feststellen muss, dass ihre Stärke ihn auf eine Weise herausfordert, die er nicht geplant hat. Zwischen Gewalt, Loyalität und einer wachsenden Anziehung entsteht eine Verbindung, die ebenso gefährlich wie unausweichlich ist, denn in Dantes Welt hat jede Entscheidung ihren Preis, und wer sich für ihn entscheidet, wählt nicht Sicherheit, sondern das Risiko, sich in einem Mann zu verlieren, der niemals halb liebt.

Im dritten Jahr meiner Ehe mit Viktor Grau schickte mir seine Stiefschwester Nina plötzlich ein Video. Ich öffnete es und sah Viktor. Mit der Krawatte, die ich ihm gerade geschenkt hatte, fesselte er seine Stiefschwester am Bettpfosten fest. Sie lag nackt unter ihm und stöhnte immer wieder „Schatz“. Danach lagen sie eng umschlungen. Nina schmiegte sich an seinen Hals und säuselte: „Viktor, der Ring, den du mir geschenkt hast, gefällt mir nicht. Gib ihn doch deiner Frau – als Geburtstagsgeschenk von deiner kleinen Schwester.“ Am nächsten Tag saß ich in einem gehobenen Restaurant und starrte geistesabwesend auf den leeren Stuhl mir gegenüber. Plötzlich kam sein Vertrauter mit einer riesigen Torte auf mich zu. „Don hatte etwas Dringendes zu erledigen und bat mich, Ihnen Ihr Geburtstagsgeschenk zu überbringen.“ In der Schatulle lag genau der Ring, den seine Stiefschwester nicht gewollt hatte. Im selben Moment erreichte mich ein neues Foto auf dem Handy: Viktor war mit seiner Stiefschwester im Krankenhaus. Ich weinte nicht, machte keine Szene und unterschrieb ruhig die Scheidungspapiere – dann ließ ich eine Hochzeit vorbereiten. „Gnädige Frau, wessen Namen sollen für Braut und Bräutigam eingetragen werden?“ „Viktor Grau und Nina Grau.“ In sieben Tagen würde die ganze Welt erfahren, was der stets so unnahbare Don hinter verschlossenen Türen mit seiner Stiefschwester so alles trieb.

Mariée depuis deux ans, Pauline Morel a découvert la vérité le jour où elle a voulu refaire son livret de famille. Le document qu'elle chérissait tant n'était qu'un faux. Elle a voulu confronter son mari, Antoine Hérault. Mais ce qu'elle a entendu l'a glacée. L'homme qui la protégeait depuis six ans était en réalité marié depuis cinq ans à leur responsable pédagogique, une femme de six ans son aînée. Pauline n'était qu'un paravent. Accusée d'être stérile, elle avait même élevé, sous couvert d'adoption, l'enfant de son mari et de cette femme. Ravalant son dégoût, elle a appelé l'avocat qui l'avait contactée pour une succession. « Célibataire. Sans enfant. L'intégralité de l'héritage me revient. » Pauline a quitté la famille Hérault sans le moindre regret. Antoine, persuadé qu'elle n'avait nulle part où aller, a attendu tranquillement qu'elle revienne le supplier. Mais un jour, au détour d'une alliance annoncée dans tous les médias, il a vu son nom. Sous les projecteurs, elle apparaissait aux côtés d'un homme au sommet du pouvoir. Une fortune colossale. Un mariage qui faisait trembler le monde. Et toute l'envie, toute l'admiration, lui revenaient enfin...

The next day I woke up, I am now the fiance of the Duke of Dubois Castle, or known as Lemon. “I am a demon who lives by desire and greed, you have yielded with the contract that you have exchanged with your life?” “Then what do you want?” “I want the whole of you Veta Le Blanchet, not just your blood, heart and soul, it is the whole of you.” Theroux Claude, the third prince of the kingdom. “Lady Le Blanchet, just how can you stand still this demon duke? If you ever get tired of him, you are always welcome to my palace.” Another troublesome man, my childhood friend when I was at the academy, Durand Gagnon. “I have attained this nickname not just because I follow all his Majesty’s order, but because I want to have a stronghold in the knight position so that I can support you my Lady, remember that my oath is only for you.” Then, what is my cousin thinking that he would say such things? “Sister, I have finally inherited the title of the Baron, please come back to our fief, and I will make sure to bring back the glory of our family!” As I try to relinquish the past, the more troublesome it becomes. Is clinging to the tiny bit of my life a wrong choice? And why is the temple spying on me? “Lady Le Blanchet is the only descendant of the family, you shouldn’t involve yourself farther with the Demon Duke.” “It’s done my Lady, as long as it is you, I can give everything, even if I destroy this Kingdom.” Hold on, just what on earth this demon wants from me?
