The Gamble Kristen Ashley นิยาย & เรื่องราว

"What do you mean we got married?" I asked him my voice raising a bit. "I don't like repeating myself but all I know is that we are in this mess because of you." he glared at me as his hands were balled up into fists. "Look Mister I don't know what you are talking about but I came here to audition as a runaway bride so stop with this nonsense."

Maya's life was already a mess. She had a crush on a guy who was in love with her best friend, a cat who ignored her, and a heart full of feelings no one asked for. So naturally, when a mysterious man in a weird alley offered her a spell to "ease the pain," she said yes. Oops. Now there's magic in her blood, monsters at her door, and four insanely hot strangers calling her their "fated mate." She's dragged to Blood Valley Academy, a floating school in another realm where magical creatures all learn to control their powers. But Maya? She doesn’t even know what she is, until she opens a portal, and accidentally fulfills the beginning of an ancient prophecy. Even worse? To survive, she has to bond (romantically, of course) with four powerful guys: An alpha who kisses like he hates her, a dream-demon who can't keep his hands to himself, a dragon shifter who keeps running away, and a vampire who knows what she is before she does. If Maya doesn't figure out which one of her so-called soulmates is a traitor... she might die a second, and final, death.

"I want you to love me, Layla Kavros. I want you to be mine. I want YOU and ONLY YOU." Layla Kavros knows one truth: ‎Home isn't a place—it's a distant memory buried under scars, shackles, and a frozen heart that is afraid to trust or love again. ‎After escaping a living hell, Layla wakes up in the last place a fugitive rogue should ever be—the dungeon of the BloodHounds Pack. There, she expects torture and death, but her captor is no ordinary wolf. He is Alpha Raelin Michaelson. Lethal. Possessive. And her fated mate. ‎Raelin has spent years waiting for his mate, but now he is faced with the one bond he cannot deny. He wants to hate the stubborn rogue before him, but the hunger to claim her is irresistible. Trapped between a mate she doesn't want and a hell she can't afford to go back to, Layla has no choice but to strike a dangerous deal: she will live under his roof in exchange for his protection. However, peace is an illusion for a rogue living in the BloodHounds Pack, especially a rogue who is the Alpha's mate. Caught in the jealousy of a rival and a dark enemy from her past that could shatter everything, Layla is forced into a cruel dilemma—‎choose the Alpha who is slowly melting her frozen heart, or save the family she thought she lost forever. In the end, can two souls survive for a love worth dying for? Or will they be torn apart by secrets and those who would love to see them destroyed?

They say I killed my father. They say I ordered my maid, my dearest friend, to poison him. They say she confessed before taking her own life. Lies. The real murderer stands before me, weaving her web of deception and has the entire Royal court in her grasp. Queen Andessa, my wicked stepmother. My father’s killer. She has stripped me of my title, my crown, my very birthright, and has offered me up as a tribute to the Dragon King of Drakarith. A mercy punishment, she calls it. But I am not broken. She thinks she has won. That I will succumb to defeat and forget who I am. But she's wrong. I am Dahlia Rhadaya Balerion, the rightful Queen of Velmira. And I will return to reclaim what is mine and rip out Velmira's corruption by its roots. Starting with Andessa's rotten fertilized eggs. My callous step-siblings. Velmira is my home, my kingdom, and I will not let it rot under the rule of vipers. But reclaiming what is mine will not be easy, especially trying to achieve that from the dragon lands of Drakarith, under the watchful vigilance of Azraelyrs, a dragon king I have heard rumors about his cold-heartedness and rules with an iron fist. To survive, I must play the game of seduction and manipulation against my enemies. To win, I must be sharper, stronger, and more ruthless than I have never been before in my life. Let the games begin.
