The Ritual Audiobook

Synopsis Rhea, the last surviving white witch, has spent her life hiding from the horrors that wiped out her kind. Taken in as a child by a kind but childless couple, she concealed her identity with colored contacts to mask her silver eyes, blending into a human world that would never accept her true self. For twenty-two years, she lived in peace—until the relentless hunters seeking her power finally caught up. Their pursuit turned her life into a nightmare, leaving destruction in their wake. Rhea managed to escape using her dormant magic, only to collapse from exhaustion. When she awoke, she was in a luxurious hospital, under the watch of the most feared Alpha in the werewolf world—Kieran Reign. Kieran, the cold-hearted and ruthless leader of the strongest pack, had no intention of ever needing anyone. At twenty-seven, he was still without a mate, and his icy demeanor kept everyone at a distance. But when he met Rhea, a strange and undeniable bond formed between them, one he loathed to acknowledge. Recognizing her potential value, he allowed her to stay, assigning her as his personal assistant. Though Rhea detested Kieran’s harshness and temper, her heart betrayed her, pulling her closer to the man who seemed incapable of love. As their connection deepened, a deadly threat emerged—a shadowy figure determined to claim Rhea’s powers and destroy Kieran’s pack. With enemies closing in, Rhea discovered the horrifying truth about her identity: she is the key to an ancient ritual that could unleash unspeakable evil. Kieran, now bound by love, must protect her at all costs, even as war looms on the horizon. Can love defy fate and save them both, or will Rhea’s sacrifice spell the end of everything they’ve fought for?

Nasci sem loba interior. Na academia, Arabella transformou minha vida em um inferno por causa disso. Quando finalmente me formei, minha loba despertou, concedendo-me um poderoso dom de cura. Achei que o pesadelo tivesse acabado. Então conheci meu companheiro destinado, o Alfa Tristan. Ele era poderoso, lindo e prometeu me dar o mundo. Mas no dia em que fui contar a Tristan que estava grávida, descobri uma verdade devastadora. Nunca foi Tristan quem esteve na minha cama. Era o irmão gêmeo dele, Ronan. O Alfa renegado que abandonou a alcateia anos atrás para viver entre humanos. Ele usou um imitador de cheiro para se infiltrar na minha cama e me engravidar. Tudo fazia parte de um plano doentio para me humilhar no meu grande dia. Eles queriam vingança por Arabella que mentiu dizendo que eu a havia intimidado. Queriam me destruir. Invadi o escritório para confrontá-los. Disse que exporia tudo e exigiria um pedido de desculpas. Em vez disso, me aprisionaram. Realizaram um ritual sombrio, drenando minha loba e transferindo-a para Arabella. Sugaram minha força vital e assassinaram meu filhote ainda não nascido. Morri em agonia. Então abri os olhos. Eu estava de volta ao dia em que descobri que estava grávida. Segurei minha barriga, uma única lágrima escorrendo pelo meu rosto. Aqueles desgraçados iam pagar caro por tudo o que fizeram.

Content Warning: Smut, Smut and Smut. “Whose cock made you cry the loudest tonight?” Lucien’s voice was a low snarl as he gripped my jaw, forcing my mouth open. “Yours,” I gasped, my voice wrecked from screaming. “Alpha, please—” Silas’s fingers dug into my hips as he slammed back inside me, rough and unrelenting. “Liar,” he growled against my spine. “She sobbed on mine.” “Should we make her prove it?” Claude said, his fangs grazing my throat. “Tie her up again. Let her beg with that pretty mouth until we decide she’s earned our knots.” I was trembling, dripping, used—and all I could do was moan, “Yes, please. Use me again.” And they did. Like they always do. Like they can’t help it. Like I belong to all three of them. --- Lilith used to believe in loyalty. In love. In her pack. But everything was torn away. Her father—the late Beta of Fangspire died. Her mother, heartbroken, drank wolfsbane and never woke up. And her boyfriend? He found his mate and left Lilith behind without a second glance. Wolfless and alone, with hospital debt piling high, Lilith enters the Rite—a ritual where women offer their bodies to the cursed Alphas in exchange for gold. Lucien. Silas. Claude. Three ruthless Alphas, cursed by the Moon Goddess. If they don’t mark their mate before twenty-six, their wolves will destroy them. Lilith was supposed to be a means to an end. But something changed the moment they touched her. Now they want her—marked, ruined, worshipped. And the more they take, the more they crave. Three Alphas. One wolfless girl. No fate. Just obsession. And the more they taste her, The harder she is to let go.

After a brutal breakup and one too many whiskies, Arielle Lawson makes the mistake she swore she’d never repeat—she calls her ex. She never saved his number; she memorized it. Heart memory. Muscle memory. Bad-decision memory. But the man who answers isn’t Daniel. He’s calm. Controlled. Amused by the drunken stranger ranting about betrayal, wasted years, and ruined wedding plans. Arielle hangs up, mortified, convinced the mistake ends there. It doesn’t. Because the number she dialed belongs to Kael Virelli, the elusive leader of a multi-million-dollar anti-government underground syndicate known as The Black Ledger—a man feared by politicians, hunted by intelligence agencies, and obeyed without question. Kael should forget the call. He should erase the number. Instead, he calls back. What begins as anonymous late-night conversations becomes a dangerous ritual neither of them can break. Arielle finds comfort in the mysterious stranger who listens without judgment and understands her in ways no one ever has. Kael becomes addicted to the only person who speaks to him like he’s human—not a weapon, not a myth. Then fate intervenes. When Arielle unknowingly witnesses a violent operation tied to The Black Ledger, the voice she trusts becomes the name everyone fears. Overnight, she transforms from a stranger into a liability—a loose end that Kael’s world would normally erase without hesitation. But Arielle isn’t just anyone. She’s the woman who called him at his most human… and made him answer. Now Kael must choose between protecting the empire he built in shadows or protecting the girl who accidentally dialed her way into his life. Because in a world of secrets, betrayal, and blood money, the most dangerous mistake he ever made wasn’t answering the call. It was falling for the girl who made it.

Por centésima vez, mi Alfa y compañero, Ryker, usó su voz de mando sobre mí, amenazando con rechazar nuestro vínculo si no me sacrificaba por mi hermana gemela, Ivy. No lloré ni protesté. Simplemente firmé los papeles de rechazo del vínculo de compañeros. Le entregué a mi hermana al Alfa que había amado durante diez años. Pocos días después, Ivy armó un escándalo en el Banquete de la Alianza de Manadas, humillando a la hija del Alfa de Silvermoon. Una vez más, di un paso al frente para ocupar su lugar, soportando el dolor de una marca de plata desfigurante. Más tarde, cuando exigieron que probara la seguridad del Ritual de Regeneración del Espíritu Lobo con mi propio cuerpo por el bien de mi hermana, acepté con una sonrisa. Mis padres, ambos Betas, me dijeron con los ojos enrojecidos, que finalmente estaba siendo la hermana mayor que se suponía que debía ser. Incluso Ryker, que siempre había sido tan distante conmigo, se detuvo ante la celda. Acarició suavemente mi mejilla por primera vez en mucho tiempo y dijo en voz baja: —Harper, no tengas miedo. Tan pronto como termine la prueba, te llevaré a ver las auroras al Lago de la Diosa de la Luna. Pero él no sabía que, independientemente del resultado de la prueba, no volvería a verme jamás. Mi espíritu de loba ya se estaba desvaneciendo. Nada podía salvarme. Esta vez, cuando cerrara los ojos, sería para siempre.

Warning: This book contains very hot adult scenes (18+ ONLY). Please do not read if you are sensitive to intense intimate content. “Say you’re ours.” Nicholas’s hand tightened around my throat—not choking, just reminding me who owned every breath I took. His silver eyes burned into mine. “Say it, Lilith.” “I’m yours,” I whispered. “Louder.” Sebastian’s dark voice brushed my ear, his body pressed against my back. “We want to hear you say it.” Before I could answer, Lucian slammed inside me, and the overwhelming sensation of being completely claimed stole the words from my mouth. Too much. Too intense. “Breathe,” Nicholas murmured against my lips. “I’m yours!” The confession finally tore free as Lucian’s teeth grazed my neck, threatening to mark me. “Good girl,” they growled in unison. “Now prove it.” Lilith Thorne is drowning. Six months ago, her father—the Beta of Shadowmere Pack—was murdered. Her mother lies in a wolfsbane-induced coma. Her boyfriend found his true mate and discarded her like she meant nothing. Worst of all, Lilith is wolfless… unable to shift and considered worthless in wolf society. With eviction looming and hospital bills piling up, Lilith makes a desperate choice: enter the Rite, an ancient ritual where Alphas claim women for a single night in exchange for gold. But fate pairs her with the Blackwood Alpha Triplets—Lucian, Nicholas, and Sebastian—feared rulers cursed by the Moon Goddess to find their mate before they turn twenty-six… or lose themselves to their wolves forever. They have three months left. What begins as a transaction quickly becomes an obsession. Because Lilith isn’t just a desperate girl. She’s the last daughter of an ancient witch bloodline—and when her suppressed magic awakens, it will change everything. She might be their salvation. Or their destruction.

Pela centésima vez, meu companheiro Alfa, Ryker, usou sua autoridade contra mim, ameaçando rejeitar nosso vínculo se eu não me sacrificasse pela minha irmã gêmea, Ivy. Não chorei nem protestei. Apenas assinei os papéis que acabariam com nosso vínculo de companheiros. Me rendi, entreguei o Alfa que amei por dez anos à minha irmã. Alguns dias depois, Ivy causou uma cena no Banquete da Aliança da Alcateia, humilhando a filha do Alfa de Silvermoon. Mais uma vez, dei um passo à frente para tomar o lugar dela, suportando a dor de uma marca de prata desfigurante. Mais tarde, quando exigiram que eu testasse a segurança do Ritual de Regeneração do Espírito do Lobo com o meu próprio corpo para minha irmã, aceitei com um sorriso. Meus pais, Betas da alcateia, com os olhos vermelhos de tanto chorar, disseram que eu finalmente estava sendo a irmã mais velha que deveria ser. Até mesmo Ryker, que sempre foi tão distante comigo, ficou diante da adega. Ele acariciou suavemente minha bochecha pela primeira vez em muito tempo e disse em voz baixa: — Harper, não tenha medo. Assim que o teste terminar, vou te levar para ver as auroras no Lago da Deusa da Lua. Mas ele não sabia que, independentemente do resultado do teste, nunca mais me veria. Meu espírito de lobo já estava se apagando. Nada poderia me salvar. Desta vez, quando eu fechasse os olhos, seria para sempre.

THIS BOOK CONTAINS MATURE THEMES🔞 "Since the moment I saw you, my wolf has known no other. I am yours, heart and soul. I want you to be my mate, bound to me forever," I smiled. "Is that what you want, too?" "I’ve felt that pull too, even though I'm human," he answered. "I don't care about anything else. I just want to be where you are. Yes, I’ll be your mate, Ethan. A thousand yes for I am yours." "I know we've made love before, but this is different," I continued. "But I just turned eighteen, and my Alpha has awakened. This is a ritual that's performed in a wolf pack, Derek. I need the world to know you're mine, and I need to feel that we’re truly one. Let me seal this bond tonight. Let me mark you as my mate." Derek's other hand reached up, his hands steady as he cupped my face. "I want this, Ethan. I want to belong to you. But I want to feel the whole of you and not just the human body, but the wolf that chose me." He took a breath, his heart hammering against his ribs. "Shift for me. I want to seal our bond with your wolf. I want to feel the Alpha who claimed me, heart to heart, before we’re finished tonight. Can you do that for me? Can we mate like that?" My breath hitched, a low rumbled growl vibrating in my chest. The wolf beneath my skin was clawing to get out, desperate to acknowledge the human who wasn't afraid of his teeth or his strength. "Anything for you," I rasped, pressing my forehead against Derek’s. "If that's what you want... I’ll show you everything I am."
