To Bleed A Crystal Bloom

This book is a Standalone, you don't have to read the first two to relate to what happened, though I do recommend it. Book Three of the Bloodlust Series “Is this some kind of joke?” Kiara asked frowning in confusion, waking up in the familiar podium where she once grew up watching people die in front of her as she herself fought for her own life. “I don’t know, but I don’t like this” Richard said from beside Kiara. The two were trying to process how they even got here to begin with. People around them started coming to their senses as they woke up inside the podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to The Bloodlust Games, The final chapter” ************************* Re-entering the Bloodlust games was never an option in Kiara’s life. But when revenge is on the line and both she and Richard are forced into them, they have nothing to do but survive, for it was either play and live. Or die…

Mon compagnon destiné, Dexter, est devenu le roi Alpha lorsque son frère est mort. Il a hérité de la couronne, du pouvoir… et de la compagne veuve de son frère, Jenica. Tout cela parce que moi, une hybride, n'avais pas réussi pendant des années à lui donner un héritier de sang pur. Il m'a dit qu'il devait marquer Jenica, et la douleur m'a presque brisée. Mais il m'a serrée contre lui, a embrassé mes larmes et a juré que son loup, son destin, ne m'avait choisie que moi. Que je serais toujours sa seule et unique Luna. Je lui ai cru. Et pourtant, il passait encore toutes les nuits dans le lit de Jenica. Puis, Jenica est tombée enceinte. Alors que la meute célébrait, Dexter m'a forcée à quitter la suite de la Luna, uniquement pour que son petit soit né dans l'aura lunaire la plus pure de la meute. Alors que je sentais notre lien se déliter fil par fil douloureusement, j'ai envoyé un message codé à un ami dans le monde des humains. « Dans quatre jours, fais-moi sortir. » Cette nuit-là, j'ai fait un choix. Mon temps en tant que sa compagne était terminé.

I fell for Don Lorenzo Moretti the second I saw him. Hard. As a mafia princess, I wasn't supposed to chase anyone. But for him, I swallowed my pride and made him my mission. A year later, he finally had me, pinning me to the bed as he moved inside me. His eyes were pure fire, and in that mo ment, they saw only me. For ten years, we were electric. We fucked in five-star hotels all over the world. We just fit. I was his lucky charm at the poker table. I took shots for him until I bled from my stomach. I even took a bullet for him. Then came our engagement party. Lorenzo left me standing there alone. Said something "came up." I went back to our apartment, only to find him kissing my stepsister, Juliana. That’s when I knew. He had always loved her. I was just a stand-in. He tried to explain, words tumbling out in a panicked rush, promising a bigger, better party to make up for it. A laugh, cold and hollow, died in my throat. I turned my back on him, pulled out my phone, and called my mother in Sicily. "I'll marry into the Romano family."

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?

Je suis née une oméga fragile, mais mon don de prophétie a fait de moi la Sainte des Meutes du Nord. Le Conseil des Anciens a exigé que je choisisse un compagnon parmi les Alphas des grandes meutes. L'Alpha que j'ai choisi était destiné à conduire le Nord à la victoire et à être couronné Roi des Alphas. J'ai choisi l'Alpha Kane sans hésitation. Il m'avait sauvé la vie une fois. Le jour de notre cérémonie de lien, j'ai rougi et tremblé lorsqu'il a enfoncé ses crocs dans mon cou. Mais au moment où nous avons été liés, son véritable amour Scarlett, sa Bêta d'enfance, est devenue folle de jalousie. Elle a tenté de m'empoisonner, et pour son crime, les Anciens l'ont exilée. Elle est morte sur la route. Et moi ? J'ai utilisé mes prophéties pour aider Kane à gagner la guerre, pour le mettre sur le trône. Après son couronnement, il a plongé une lame d'argent dans mon cœur. Il m'a assassinée. « Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! » C'est seulement là que j'ai compris. Il m'avait détestée depuis toujours. J'ai rouvert les yeux… et j'étais de retour. De retour au jour où je devais choisir mon compagnon Alpha. Il se tenait devant moi, arrogant comme toujours. Il n'a perdu la tête que lorsqu'il a découvert que j'avais choisi un Alpha maudit. Je l'ai regardé s'agenouiller, implorant mon pardon. Mais dans cette vie, il n'y aurait aucune prophétie venant de moi. Voyons maintenant comment il survivra à la guerre.
