The Great North Review

Damian, my destined partner, is the alpha that all wolf girls dream of. For him, I went alone to the North, his pack. But for three years after we signed the contract, he remained chaste, staying at least three feet away from me, refusing to mate with me. I thought he was just busy with the affairs of the wolf pack and had no time to care about me. Until I stumbled upon Damian pinning Lyra, his sister, against a rough tree trunk, his mouth savagely devouring her lips like a wild beast. "You know I long for you, Lyra!" he roared. "Why did you force that boring Selena on me?!" At last I understood. The only person he truly loved was Lyra. He hurt me again and again for Lyra, and even when we were trapped in the forest and almost swallowed by the shadow plague, he ran away with Lyra in his arms without looking back. "Whether Selena can escape or not has nothing to do with me. You are the most important person in my world!" I was heartbroken, but he wanted to complete the final mark with me because of guilt. He didn't know that I had already dripped my heart's blood on the moonstone the day I found out about his affair with Lyra. Our mate bond had been completely broken long ago.

“I'm not just the vampire king of tales, Ellie. I'm a talented artist.” Vanchure said with every stroke he made on the canvas with his paintbrush. “So you can either be the one posing on my couch, behind the canvas, or be the one whose blood I will use in replacement for paints.” In a mystical world named Shirlon, there was a division of two powerful mythical creatures, two great kingdoms, with two great rulers. Speaking of which were the Black Pack, the werewolves, and the Thorx Coven, the vampire with the respect of law and order.

She gave away everything for love. Now she’s coming to take it all back. Three years ago, Mica Silvers made the ultimate sacrifice for love—she willingly handed over her Alpha powers to her mate, believing they would rule together. Instead, she watched in horror as he murdered her father and destroyed everything she held dear. Left for dead by the man she trusted with her heart and her pack, Mica was found barely alive with no memory of who she was, forced to survive as nothing more than a broken slave named Sasha. But some things can’t stay buried forever. When the dangerously powerful Alpha Damon Blackwood buys her freedom, Mica’s forgotten past comes flooding back with devastating clarity. The naive girl who gave away her birthright is gone—in her place stands a woman forged by betrayal and hungry for revenge. Now, with the most feared Alpha in North America at her side and an invitation to her former pack’s banquet in hand, Mica has one chance to reclaim everything that was stolen from her. But confronting the man who destroyed her life means risking not just her heart, but the new love she’s found with Damon. Some betrayals can never be forgiven. Some wounds never heal. And some enemies should have made sure she stayed dead.
