This Vicious Grace

Nachdem meine Zwillingsschwester Harper gestorben war, hasste mich mein Alpha-Gefährte zehn lange Jahre. Ein ganzes Jahrzehnt lang war ich seine Luna, und ich versuchte auf jede erdenkliche Weise, gut zu ihm zu sein. Eines Tages sagte er zu mir: „Wenn du mich wirklich um jeden Preis zufriedenstellen willst, dann stirb doch einfach.“ Als also ein Lastwagen auf mich zuraste, rührte ich mich keinen Zentimeter. Ich hätte niemals erwartet, dass Noah mich im letzten Moment zur Seite stoßen würde, um mich zu retten. Er wurde dabei schwer verletzt. Kurz bevor er starb, sah er mich an und flüsterte: „Charlotte, wenn ich dir nie begegnet wäre, wäre alles besser gewesen.“ Zu Noahs Beerdigung kamen alle Ältesten und sämtliche Mitglieder des Rudels. „Ich hätte Noah Harper als seine Luna wählen lassen sollen. Ich bereue es, ihn damals gezwungen zu haben, dich zu nehmen. Du hast ihn getötet!“ Noahs Mutter war von Trauer überwältigt. Auch Noahs Vater sagte: „Weißt du eigentlich, dass Noah dir dreimal das Leben gerettet hat? Er war ein so gutherziger Alpha. Warum bist nicht du gestorben?“ Alle auf der Beerdigung starrten mich voller Vorwürfe an. Am Ende wurde ich von der Trauerfeier hinausgeworfen, verloren und völlig verzweifelt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mithilfe einer Hexe durch ihren Zauber in die Vergangenheit zurück. Dieses Mal hatte ich eine Entscheidung getroffen. Ganz gleich, was passiert: Ich würde niemals wieder Noahs Luna werden.

Some legacies welcome you home. Others sharpen a knife the moment you walk through the door. Hannah never asked to be a Black. But blood doesn't negotiate. Found after years of being lost, she barely had time to breathe before the truth came crashing in — the family she'd longed for didn't want her. Her siblings made sure she felt every inch of that. But nothing cut deeper than the discovery that only one of them could marry Lucas Bristo, heir to the Bristo empire. And her sister would kill to make sure it wasn't Hannah. The cruelest joke? Lucas — arrogant, insufferably charming, with eyes that pin her in place and a touch that sets her chest on fire — was never supposed to matter. Now he's the one thing she can't let go of. While Hannah fights for the love she never planned and the birthright that was always hers, her adopted sister and blood brother are already conspiring — their alliance soaked in secrets and something far more sinister. They want her gone. But Hannah Black didn't survive being lost just to be destroyed after being found.

Calvin and I had been married for seven years. While packing up some clothes, I found a cheap lighter in the pocket of his jacket. Everything he wore, from the inside out, had been carefully chosen by me to highlight his refined taste and status. However, in that girl’s Twitter photos, he looked like a college boy, dressed in cheap clothes and wearing a digital watch that cost only a few dollars while kissing her. Using a throwaway account, I casually liked the post and commented, "A perfect match." Then, I turned to Calvin and said, "How did I never realize you had such a thing for bargains?"

I was feeding my seven-year-old daughter, Lucy Langer, when Robert Langer crashed through the front door, reeking of alcohol. His shirt collar hung askew, and red marks blazed across his neck. "Audrey," he said hoarsely, "someone spiked my drink at the charity gala. But don't worry. I've already had my lawyer handle it." I nodded. After so many years of marriage, I knew he only had eyes for me and our daughter. He never strayed. Or so I believed… until eight months later. While Robert was away on a business trip, his cruise ship caught fire. The news dominated every channel. Clutching a sobbing Lucy, I rushed to the hospital, only to find him swathed in bandages, standing outside the maternity ward. "Becca is pregnant," he murmured. "It was that night at the gala… I didn't think it would happen from just once…" He gulped. "When the fire spread, she saved me. But she… got trapped herself." A newborn's wail pierced the corridor as the delivery room doors opened. Becca White was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. She clutched my sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Audrey… my babies can't grow up without a father…"

Après la mort de ma sœur jumelle Clémentine, mon compagnon Alpha m'a détestée depuis dix ans. Pendant toute une décennie, j'étais sa Luna, et j'ai essayé par tous les moyens d'être gentille avec lui. Un jour, il m'a dit : « Si tu veux vraiment me faire plaisir, tu n'as qu'à mourir. » Alors, quand un camion m'a foncée dessus, je n'ai même pas bougé, mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce que Léo me pousse hors du chemin pour me sauver. Il était gravement blessé. Avant de mourir, il m'a regardée et a murmuré : « Margot, si seulement je ne t'avais jamais rencontrée, tout aurait été mieux. » À l'enterrement de Léo, tous les anciens et les membres de la meute sont venus. « J'aurais dû laisser Léo choisir Clémentine comme Luna. Je regrette de l'avoir forcé à te choisir à l'époque. Tu l'as tué ! » La mère de Léo était accablée de chagrin. Le père de Léo a également dit : « Tu sais ? Léo t'a sauvé la vie trois fois ! C'était un Alpha au grand cœur. Pourquoi n'es-tu pas morte à sa place ? » Tout le monde à l'enterrement m'a regardée avec des reproches. Finalement, j'ai été expulsée de l'enterrement, perdue et dévastée. Trois ans plus tard, avec l'aide d'une sorcière, je suis retournée dans le passé grâce à son sort. Cette fois, j'ai pris une décision. Quoi qu'il arrive, je ne serais plus jamais la Luna de Léo.

When fate decides to play its funny tricks, a clueless Luna is forced to fight against the impossible.. Eighteen year old and shy, Miranda Dagel is in her final year in high school, but is anything but excited about her forthcoming graduation.

Little did she know that the adventure she had always sought for would start with an abduction. From that moment, it may become impossible to escape this reality.. because this may now be her world, her world as the Alpha's abducted Luna.

“I can give up everything. I can be your slave. You can use me for all your satisfaction, just let my father go.”

He was cursed to never find love by the moon goddess herself. Alpha Ace has lived about a thousand and five hundred years old which is unheard of for his kind. And for those years, he never found his mate. He was ruthless, merciless and most dangerous. No one dared stand up against him unless with a death wish. His pack was just as strong and he never showed any emotions. He recruited 15 year old male pups to the pack army to strengthen the pack. No one understood him but they all respected him. He never left the corners of his pack in Brazil believing finding his mate was pointless. Annalise,an human came crashing down on him literally then he finally felt the spark, all his senses were alert and he realised he had found his safe haven. Everything was to be fine with his mate. Unfortunately, Annalise started displaying weird features after three months of staying with Ace. Find out their challenges, love story and bloody condition in:THE UNMATED.

Shock, cold and absolute, rippled through me. My jaw dropped. “Owned? I am not an object! You can’t just—” His dark chuckle cut me off. It was a chilling sound, devoid of warmth. “Oh, but I do, little bird. You became mine the moment your dear brother, Carlos, sold you to clear his debts. Along with almost all the shares in your father’s company.” The air left my lungs in a ragged gasp. What was he talking about? That couldn't be true, yet the look in his eyes said otherwise. He had sold me like an object, like chattel. Rage, raw and unadulterated, surged through me, eclipsing the fear for a fleeting moment. I tried to push past him, to escape and to run anywhere but his hand shot out, grabbing me by the neck, not quite choking but enough to hold me in an iron grip. He pinned me to the wall, his face inches from mine, his eyes burning with an intense possessive fire. “You now belong to Lorenzo Blackwood,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “You are mine. To possess. To claim. To own.”
