Thaumcraft Crystal Clusters

I fell for Don Lorenzo Moretti the second I saw him. Hard. As a mafia princess, I wasn't supposed to chase anyone. But for him, I swallowed my pride and made him my mission. A year later, he finally had me, pinning me to the bed as he moved inside me. His eyes were pure fire, and in that mo ment, they saw only me. For ten years, we were electric. We fucked in five-star hotels all over the world. We just fit. I was his lucky charm at the poker table. I took shots for him until I bled from my stomach. I even took a bullet for him. Then came our engagement party. Lorenzo left me standing there alone. Said something "came up." I went back to our apartment, only to find him kissing my stepsister, Juliana. That’s when I knew. He had always loved her. I was just a stand-in. He tried to explain, words tumbling out in a panicked rush, promising a bigger, better party to make up for it. A laugh, cold and hollow, died in my throat. I turned my back on him, pulled out my phone, and called my mother in Sicily. "I'll marry into the Romano family."

Betrayed by her husband and abandoned by her pack, Eliza Carter vows to rise from the ashes of her shattered life. Once a cherished Alpha’s daughter, she’s now determined to reclaim her pride and make those who wronged her regret it. But fate has other plans. When Eliza severs her bond with the man who broke her, a magnetic Lycan prince steps forward—her fated mate. Bound by destiny yet scarred by betrayal, can Eliza embrace a future of strength, love, and vengeance?

Betrayed by her fated mate. Claimed by his father. Claire White’s world shatters when the man destined to be her mate abandons her. Seeking escape, she drowns her sorrows in a bar—until a dark, magnetic stranger ignites a fire in her blood. Theo is intoxicating, dangerous… and her wolf reacts to him in a way it never did with her so-called mate. But fate isn’t done with her. When her father falls ill, Claire is left drowning in debt—and her ex, Adrian, cruelly offers to pay… if she becomes his mistress. Refusing means ruin, but surrendering means losing herself forever. Then comes her only lifeline—a high-stakes job working for the most powerful Alpha in the city. Theo. Her savior. Her boss. And Adrian’s father. Now, trapped between duty and desire, Claire must navigate a world of pack politics, forbidden lust, and deadly secrets. Theo is everything she shouldn’t want—older, dominant, and her ex-mate’s sire. But the pull between them is raw, primal, and impossible to deny. Will she risk everything for a love that could destroy them both?

“Let. Me. Go!” She said, trying to run away from the man who now had her cornered. A familiar scent filled her nostrils, but she could barely find it in her to speak let alone call for HIS help. “You are mine now,” he glared at her, his eyes filled with rage. Her heart raced, and she tried moving away from his tight grip as he wrapped his hand around her neck, choking her. “I will show you what it is to try and run away from your Alpha.” Her breathing ragged, and her eyes rolled to the back of her head before the man’s hand loosened around her neck. His green eyes met hers in the darkness, and it was seconds later before his tattooed arms wrapped around her, holding her to his chest. “And that is what you get for messing with my MATE, Stefano…” ********************************* What if everything was nothing more than a lie? What if what you know was not more than a game? What if what you held onto was the one thing that was to drop you? When Alpha Diego is given a task by his father, he is forced to play the ONE game he hates most. The game of love. And the one thing that makes it even worse is that he forced to play it against the one person that he is supposed to cherish. His mate, Lea Auditore…

Je suis née une oméga fragile, mais mon don de prophétie a fait de moi la Sainte des Meutes du Nord. Le Conseil des Anciens a exigé que je choisisse un compagnon parmi les Alphas des grandes meutes. L'Alpha que j'ai choisi était destiné à conduire le Nord à la victoire et à être couronné Roi des Alphas. J'ai choisi l'Alpha Kane sans hésitation. Il m'avait sauvé la vie une fois. Le jour de notre cérémonie de lien, j'ai rougi et tremblé lorsqu'il a enfoncé ses crocs dans mon cou. Mais au moment où nous avons été liés, son véritable amour Scarlett, sa Bêta d'enfance, est devenue folle de jalousie. Elle a tenté de m'empoisonner, et pour son crime, les Anciens l'ont exilée. Elle est morte sur la route. Et moi ? J'ai utilisé mes prophéties pour aider Kane à gagner la guerre, pour le mettre sur le trône. Après son couronnement, il a plongé une lame d'argent dans mon cœur. Il m'a assassinée. « Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! » C'est seulement là que j'ai compris. Il m'avait détestée depuis toujours. J'ai rouvert les yeux… et j'étais de retour. De retour au jour où je devais choisir mon compagnon Alpha. Il se tenait devant moi, arrogant comme toujours. Il n'a perdu la tête que lorsqu'il a découvert que j'avais choisi un Alpha maudit. Je l'ai regardé s'agenouiller, implorant mon pardon. Mais dans cette vie, il n'y aurait aucune prophétie venant de moi. Voyons maintenant comment il survivra à la guerre.

Riven, mi compañero destinado, era el Alfa de una manada patética al borde del colapso. Durante cinco años fui su sombra, su estratega. Levanté su manada de la nada hasta que la Alianza nos reconoció, y estábamos listos para trasladarnos a las tierras fértiles. Riven prometió que celebraríamos nuestra ceremonia de unión en cuanto nos instaláramos en el nuevo territorio. Sin embargo, durante el banquete de celebración, la noche anterior a la mudanza, me arrojó a una celda. Anunció públicamente que Jenna, la loba que llevaba a su cachorro en el vientre, sería la Luna de la manada. No podía dar crédito. Le grité, pero él me hizo una mueca de desprecio y señaló un cristal que vibraba con magia oscura. —¡Jenna ya tiene pruebas de tu traición! Te acostaste con otros Alfas para conseguir su apoyo. ¡Me das asco! Le supliqué. Pero él me cortó la mejilla con el borde de plata de la carta de disolución de vínculo, apartándome formalmente de su lado. Pero él no sabía quién era yo en realidad. Soy la hija del Rey Alfa. Las estrategias, el poder, las alianzas... nada de eso era suyo. Todo era mío. Así que lo recuperé todo.

For ten years, I was a peace offering to Alpha Kane. And he chose his adopted sister, Fiona, over me 77 times. He planned my birthday around her tastes. At the Hunter’s Moon festival, she stood beside him in the Luna’s ceremonial gown. My gown. Even on our mating night, he left me. Fiona faked a panic attack, claiming her wolf was losing control. He spent the night coddling her. I forgave him the first 76 times. Because he’d saved my life once, even if he didn’t remember. But when I was kidnapped, he had to choose: trade the pack's sacred artifact for my life, or stay with Fiona and her latest self-made drama. He chose her. The kidnappers injected me with a lethal dose of wolfsbane. I felt it tearing my wolf apart, devouring my life force from the inside out. The 77th time. I was finally ready to give up. But I was saved. By Drake, Alpha of the Nightfall Pack. The one who'd been watching over me for fifteen years.. That’s when I learned the truth. I’d been thanking the wrong man. The one who saved me was always Drake. Never Kane. So I went back. I filed to sever our mate bond with the Elders. In four days, I'll be free. And Kane can be with his precious Fiona forever. So why, now that it’s all over, is he on his knees, begging for me back and crying that he always loved me?

Right before our Mating Ceremony, my mate, Alpha Damien, told me he had to temporarily mark an Omega from our pack, Seraphina. He claimed she had the Moon Sickness and would die if he didn't mark her. I fought him on it, but the next day, he moved Seraphina right into the penthouse of the Pack House. The suite meant for the future Luna. My suite. To calm me, he even got on his knees, his eyes red as he promised, "Once she's safe, I'll remove the mark. You'll still be my only Luna." But then, Seraphina found me, a medical report in her hand. Six weeks pregnant. They'd already held their marking ceremony long before Damien ever came to me. My heart shattered into ash. My pen dug into the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our Mating Ceremony. Then, I opened my laptop and replied to the email from the European Laurel Healers' Guild. "I accept your invitation. I leave on the day of the Mating Ceremony."

College freshman Leesa Nyland has been fascinated by vampires from a young age. Fascinated, however, doesn't mean Leesa believes in their existence any more than she believes in the Volkaanes, people who are said to live for centuries and whose kiss is lethal to both vampires and humans. But when her beloved older brother suddenly disappears, she is forced to confront all these and more. She also has to figure out what to do about her mysterious new boyfriend. She knows Rave likes her a lot, so why won't he kiss her? As Leesa draws closer to finding her brother, she faces some gut-wrenching decisions. Should she risk her mom's life trying to "cure" her? Should she continue seeing Rave, after he reveals his dangerous secret? And most terrifying of all, should she make the ultimate sacrifice — give up her humanity to save her brother?
