Thaumcraft Crystal Clusters

Ich war Alpha Damons leitende Beta. Sechs Jahre lang war ich seine Geliebte und stellvertretende Anführerin. Als er unsere Paarungszeremonie ankündigte, feierte das ganze Rudel. Mein Traum war endlich zum Greifen nah. Doch dann hörte ich ihn vor seinem privaten Trophäenraum über seine „Luna-Prüfungen“ prahlen. Und genau in dem Moment erkannte ich die Wahrheit. Ich war nicht seine Einzige. Ich war nur eine von dreißig Kandidatinnen. Einen Monat lang hatte er mit jeder von uns verbracht und bewertet: unsere Körper, unsere Unterwürfigkeit, unsere Leistung. Meine Punktzahl? Niedriger als die eines Omegas. Niedriger als die von Lydia. „Lydia zu ficken war unglaublich“, prahlte er. „Ich konnte kaum von ihr lassen. Dann sehe ich Elysia – so steif, so beherrscht – und bin einfach … gelangweilt.“ Eis durchströmte meine Adern. Mein Körper erstarrte. Sechs Jahre Hingabe. Unzählige Nächte in seinen Laken. All das bedeutete weniger als ein billiger Kick und eine Wölfin, die zu kriechen verstand. Mein gebrochenes Herz gefror zu Eis. Ich schickte eine Nachricht an einen Alpha, der mich schon lange begehrt hatte. „Adrian, du hast einmal gesagt, dein Paarungsangebot gelte uneingeschränkt. Gilt das noch? Damon und ich sind fertig.“

Mein Schicksalsgefährte Dexter wurde zum Alpha-König, als sein Bruder starb. Er erbte die Krone, die Macht ... und die verwitwete Gefährtin seines Bruders, Jenica. Nur weil ich, ein Halbblut, es jahrelang nicht geschafft hatte, ihm einen reinblütigen Erben zu schenken. Er sagte mir, er müsse Jenica markieren, und der Schmerz hätte mich beinahe zerbrochen. Aber er hielt mich fest, küsste meine Tränen und schwor, sein Wolf, sein Schicksal, habe nur mich gewählt. Dass ich immer seine eine und einzige Luna sein würde. Ich glaubte ihm. Und trotzdem verbrachte er jede Nacht in ihrem Bett. Dann wurde Jenica schwanger. Während das Rudel feierte, jagte Dexter mich aus der Luna-Suite – nur damit ihr Welpe in der reinsten Mond-Aura des Rudels zur Welt kommen konnte. Als ich spürte, wie unsere Gefährtenbindung Faden für Faden, schmerzhaft, auseinanderfiel, schickte ich einer Freundin in der Menschenwelt eine letzte, codierte Nachricht. „In vier Tagen holst du mich hier raus.“ In dieser Nacht traf ich eine Entscheidung. Meine Zeit als seine Gefährtin war vorbei.

What will you do if your fiancé betrays you, with someone you are completely unexpected and, in fact, really love about? I ran away, to a club owned by a handsome billionaire who was heartbroken and ended up in his bed. Not stopping there, I continued my escape all the way to Italy, with the fetus in my stomach. I thought, after all that chaos, I and I had finally found a new, peaceful life in a place that no one would ever know about. However, the billionaire found me and was determined to take me back, especially after he found out that there were a pair of twins with me. The problem was, I was determined never to come back, and that man also had a fiancee. What should I do?

When my father asked me to choose between the two Lewis brothers I had grown up with to get married to, I chose Joseph Lewis. He was the man I had secretly loved for 13 years. But on the day of our wedding, his stepsister, Jessica Lewis, leaped off the rooftop of the hotel. She left behind a letter written in blood, blessing Joseph and me with a lifetime of love and happiness. It was only then that I learned that the two of them had been secretly in love for years. At the wedding, Joseph lost control in front of everyone, declaring that he would no longer be concerned with any worldly affairs. I was left standing helplessly in place. For the rest of his life, he lived in guilt, keeping vigil beside Jessica's grave. I resented his deceit, yet stubbornly clung to our marriage, and we tormented each other for years. This went on until we were kidnapped one day. To save me, he perished together with the kidnappers. Before he died, he looked at me and said, "Evelyn, it was wrong of me to keep it from you. But now that both Jessica and I are gone, that should settle the debt, shouldn't it? If there's a next time, don't choose me again." Then, I reopen my eyes to see that I have returned to the day when my father asked me to choose my fiance. This time, I will firmly choose his elder brother, Theodore Lewis.

Dexter, mi compañero destinado, se convirtió en el Rey Alfa cuando su hermano murió. No solo heredó la corona y el poder, sino también a Jenica, la viuda de su hermano. Todo porque yo, por ser una mestiza, no había podido darle un heredero de sangre pura en todos estos años. Me dijo que tenía que marcar a Jenica y sentí que el alma se me partía. Aun así, me abrazó con fuerza, secó mis lágrimas con sus besos y juró que su lobo y su destino solo me pertenecían a mí; que yo siempre sería su única Luna. Le creí. Pero, a pesar de sus promesas, él seguía pasando cada noche en la cama de ella. Entonces, Jenica quedó esperando cachorros. Mientras la manada celebraba, Dexter me obligó a dejar la suite de la Luna; quería que su cachorro naciera bajo el aura lunar más pura de la manada. Sentí cómo nuestro vínculo se deshacía dolorosamente, hilo por hilo, así que le envié un último mensaje en clave a un amigo del mundo humano. “Sácame de aquí en cuatro días”. Esa noche tomé una decisión. Mi tiempo como su compañera había terminado.

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?

I was reborn the year the Blood Moon War began. The first thing I did? I sacrificed my child. The child of my blood-bonded mate, Lord Lucius of the Covenant. In my last life, he chose to protect his childhood sweetheart, Lilith, when she slept with a werewolf. He stole my pureblood heir and replaced it with her half-breed mongrel. They branded me a traitor. In a sun-scorched dungeon, they burned my scarred body to ash with holy light. And my own son, his mind poisoned by Lilith, stood on my ashes and cursed me to Hell for all eternity. When I opened my eyes again, the blood ritual for my heir was already three months along. I didn't hesitate. I went straight to a witch, and with a potion brewed from my own heart's blood, I ended it. Then, I put on something else: an expensive amulet of Blood Illusion. It faked the energy of a pureblood fetus. It masked my true state, cloaking me in the sweet, alluring scent of a pregnant vampire. It even created a perfect illusion of a growing belly. Lucius needed an heir to cover for Lilith’s crime. Fine. I’d play along. This time, I had no weaknesses.

Mi hermana me envenenó. Todo porque su compañero del destino no le llegaba ni a los talones al mío. Ahora estoy de vuelta en el lugar donde todo comenzó. En la ceremonia de unión, hace cinco años. En mi vida anterior, Sarah y yo elegimos a nuestros compañeros en la gala de la Alianza de Manadas. Sarah eligió a Damon, el Alfa más poderoso y futuro líder de la Alianza. Pero nunca pudo darle un cachorro. Damon la despreciaba. La maltrataba. Incluso se volvía salvaje cuando perdía el control por su maldición y estuvo a punto de matarla. Me empujó hacia Liam, el Alfa de una manada en decadencia. Sarah nunca se imaginó que el poder de Liam estallaría, ni que un día le arrebataría el título de Gran Alfa a Damon. Entonces, el día de la coronación de Liam, Sarah me envenenó por puros celos. Abrí los ojos de nuevo. Estábamos otra vez en la ceremonia de elección de compañeros. Sarah habló con firmeza frente a todos los invitados. —Elijo a Liam. A mí me empujaron hacia Damon, su excompañero. Pero en ese momento escuché su grito interno. “Muérete, Elena. ¡Solo muérete! Tú y ese lobo rabioso de Damon pueden irse al diablo juntos. Liam será el Gran Alfa de todos modos y yo seré la Luna suprema”. Pero yo solo sonreí con burla mientras caía en los brazos de Damon. Sarah no tenía idea. El “compañero perfecto” que había elegido ya estaba planeando cómo devorarle hasta el alma.

Blurb “Tell me you want it, Rainey,” he whispered, his breath warm against my ear. I felt my pulse quicken, my resolve wavering under the intensity of his gaze. “You know I can give you everything you’ve ever desired.” My heart raced as I swallowed hard, torn between fear and the allure of his promises. “You think you can just take me? You don’t understand what you’re dealing with.” He chuckled softly, the sound sending shivers down my spine. “Oh, but I do. You don’t know how long I’ve waited for this moment.” **** In a world shrouded by secrets and power struggles, Rainey is unwittingly thrust into a dangerous game after discovering she is the hidden child of a long-lost lineage.
