Twilight Lich

It's the tenth anniversary of my bonding with my warrior mate, Owen Chase, and also our son Leo's birthday. A month earlier, I spent $8000 arranging a trip to the Blood Moon Forest. I plan to take my mate and pup to the Moon Goddess' sacred grounds to receive her blessings. This is supposed to be a happy anniversary celebration for our complete werewolf family. I've prepared everything and booked tickets for the Twilight Coach. But on the night before our departure, Owen and Leo suddenly block our mind-link. "Dad and I are having dinner with Ms. Emma on the 24th floor of Moonlight Restaurant. We've cancelled the tickets—we're not going." The call ends there. They promptly block my number as well. I rush back to our pack overnight, only to find that the security system no longer recognizes me. That night, every household locks its doors and activates protective barriers against the toxic mist of the Silver Mines in the nearby Moonveil Valley, while I could only huddle on the stone steps outside our house, inhaling the silver-laden fog all night. The poisonous substances flood my systems. I am sent to the hospital, burning with fever as my wolf grows weaker with every labored breath. Meanwhile, my family is busy touring Central City with Emma Skinner, spending the money I had worked so hard to earn. Owen posts a photo on his social media. In the photo, Emma, my mate Owen, and my child Leo stand hand-in-hand in front of the wishing fountain in Central City, all smiling brightly. The caption reads: "A perfect trip, a perfect family of three." It is only then that I finally understand—this family exists in name only. It's time for me to rebuild my life.

Born of Alpha bloodline, Twilight is destined to succeed her father in ruling the Silver Pack. The young, free-spirited alpha female is the strongest warrior in the pack, surpassing even her own father, and never cared about whether or not she would find her mate. Until the day she found him, the young Alpha-to-be of a neighbouring pack. Only to have him reject her for his bed buddy. Enraged and broken-hearted, she ran away and got severely injured along the way. Suddenly, she woke up in an unfamiliar place, only to find that her second-chance mate, Takumi, saved her. But her now cold-hearted self refuses to accept another mate but he won't give up that easily. Can Takumi win the Alpha's heart? Here’s a little sneak peek: “Imagine the one person who was literally made for you, supposed to be your other half and complete you in a way that no one else can and yet wants nothing to do with you. I’m over it, but I still feel like a monster for how I reacted to it. I know it happened a long time ago, but I still hate myself for it. His dad said it was ok, but I think he only said it to make me feel less guilty and deep down he hates me. And I'm pretty sure everyone else feels the same way.” It was then that she felt a little wetness on her face; she didn't realize that tears were streaming down her cheeks the whole time. That's when she broke down into more tears. Takumi pulled her into a hug.

"Jump Isabelle" The voice commanded in her head "Jump" Tears trickle down Isabelle cheek as she stood on top of the parapet of the building "Jump" one move, one step and she was flying... falling to her death. Isabelle never took a glance at the sunsets because she always believe there's a storm after twilight,her parents were gone... taken,waiting to catch a glimpse of her parents she'd stayed still listening to everything and everyone. "Go get them,get them" the children danced ,free in their own world. "Go get them,get them" The children all waiting for their loved ones sang joyfully as the airplane descend. "Go get the,get them" They screamed,the airplane blowed up,and her nightmares started then, the hope dashing away without a ray of light to save it. "The death certificate was with you all along,why did you lie?" Isabelle mutter,staring straight into the eyes of the only man she'd ever trusted,the only man she'd ruined with her one single decision "why?" "I'll never let you go" "I'm in love with Ian not you" Isabelle move to the door "not you Xander" She'd dragged everyone into her own web of lies,the sister she'd vowed to died in front of her while the one she was link with By blood is slowly becoming an addict in front of her,a serial killer bent on destroying on her was slowly getting a way into her family,how will she conquer all the tribulations right in front of her?when will she open her curtains to look at the sunset. "Jump" Isabelle head hit the ground and everything vanished underneath her.

When her father offers her as tribute to save their dying kingdom, nineteen-year-old Eryndra Nightveil becomes a pawn in a game far deadlier than politics. King Malakar Veyrath has ruled the Kingdom of Valethorne for over two centuries, his very name striking terror into neighboring realms. What the world doesn't know is that their most feared monarch is actually a demon king who feeds on human suffering—and he hasn't had a queen to torment in decades. Eryndra arrives at the fortress-palace believing she's entering a political marriage that will save her people. Instead, she's walked into the lair of a predator who views breaking her spirit as his newest entertainment. But the sheltered noblewoman harbors secrets even she doesn't understand—dormant witch blood flows through her veins, and something about her presence unsettles the demon king in ways he's never experienced. As Malakar's games of psychological torture begin, Eryndra must find strength she never knew she possessed. Because in the perpetual twilight of Valethorne, survival isn't just about enduring the darkness—it's about discovering the light that lies hidden within. Some monsters can be defeated. Others can be transformed. But first, you have to survive long enough to find out which kind you're facing. _______ Book One: The Crown Of Shadow A sheltered noblewoman is forced to marry a demon king, but her hidden witch heritage and unexpected love begin to transform them both. Book Two: The Hybrid's Dawn The birth of the first demon-witch hybrid child triggers supernatural wars as ancient powers fight to control or destroy the unprecedented being. Book Three: The Celestial Bond The hybrid prince must choose between political alliances and true love while ancient gods stir and threaten all realms.

The night Enzo was made boss of the Moretti family, I gave him my virginity. He was the heir I'd been promised to since before I could speak. We kissed against the floor-to-ceiling windows, tangled in the humid, twilight heat... His rough, urgent hands hurt me, but I didn't pull away. Even the pain felt sacred, a sacrifice I was willing to make for love. Lost in the heat of the moment, he promised me a pair of the most beautiful crystal shoes, so I could dance the opening waltz with him at his coronation ceremony the next day. The first dance is always reserved for the new boss and his future bride. I cried with joy, believing my years of secret pining and patient waiting would finally culminate in a fairytale ending. But I was wrong. So terribly wrong. The next morning, I dragged my aching body out to get his favorite espresso, only to overhear the guys joking as I returned: "So you finally popped the family cherry, huh? How was Vivian on your first night as boss?" Enzo's voice was lazy, mocking. "Face of an angel, body of a devil. She's a hot little viper in bed." The room erupted in sleazy whistles. "So, you really gonna marry her, young boss?" "Are you kidding me?" Enzo scoffed. "Vivian's just a warm-up. Once I get some practice in, I'll go tame the Falcone ice princess. When I get bored, I can always circle back and put a ring on her." I stood frozen in the doorway, my vision blurring, the coffee cup trembling in my hand. Before the world faded to black, I sent a coded message to the Don: "Uncle Romano, for the promotion in three days, get me a transfer. As far away from Enzo as possible."

"Master, it is done!" At exactly twilight, an unfortunate lifeless head rolled on the floor, completely detached from the body. "Good ! Have the express mail package delivered before midnight today." "BOOM!" the gun went off. Mila came rushing in with only a towel wrapped around her body. "What the fuck happened?" She asked the petrified Brant who sat on the bed with his legs wrapped up and his head cringed upwards. He did not reply her. She followed the line of his eyes and that was when she saw it, a perforation in her roof. The sunlight was literally shining directly on them. She looked back at Brantley in confusion, well, he looked more confused than she was. "What…?" She opened her mouth to interrogate him but decided against it. Instead, she climbed beside him and carefully took the weapon from his hand. He did not protest. "This is not a toy." She said, taking off the bullets and partially dismantling the gun. Just in case his itchy hands decided to touch the pistol again. **** Being the lone survivor of a fire accident that claimed her entire family, Mila Rivers is back to get the company that once belonged to her father. But she's got one problem... Brantley White, the new CEO,  son to the man behind her family's death and her childhood friend-turn-rival. She needs to get him out of her way at all costs, but she can't deny the fact that he's hot and she keeps on finding herself in his bed. He does not hide his desire for her, no matter how high a wall she builds between them. Would she be able to resist her Rival's desire to get her revenge or would she fall for him instead?

„Ich kann deine Erregung riechen, Omega. Hör jetzt auf, stur zu sein, spreize deine Beine weit und empfange mich mit Dankbarkeit.“ Ich starrte ihn schweigend an. Ich war triefend nass, doch ich würde mich von keinem anderen Alpha auf diese Weise benutzen lassen. „Es tut mir leid, Alpha, aber ich muss dein Angebot ablehnen.“ Er erstarrte und starrte mich eine Weile ausdruckslos an. Er wirkte noch fassungsloser darüber, dass überhaupt jemand es wagen konnte, ihn abzulehnen. Zukünftige Alphas und einige ausgewählte Krieger wurden aus dem Titan-Rudel weggebracht, um sich einer harten Ausbildung zu unterziehen, bis der amtierende Alpha starb. Man verwehrte ihnen jedes Vergnügen und verweigerte ihnen Gefährtinnen. Erst wenn sie zurückkehrten, durften sie mit beliebigen Frauen schlafen, um ihre sexuelle Spannung abzubauen – so lange, bis ihnen schließlich doch eine Gefährtin beschert wurde. Ich war eine der Sklavinnen, die nach einem Überfall aus meinem Rudel verschleppt worden waren. Ich war dort, um Böden zu schrubben und Geschirr zu spülen, und versuchte, unsichtbar zu bleiben. Bis ich dann auf den Alpha stieß, der als skrupellos galt, und er verlangte, mich zu reiten. Ich lehnte höflich ab. Das verblüffte ihn zutiefst. Jede Frau hätte getötet dafür, von ihm geritten zu werden, aber ich, eine Sklavin aus dem niedrigsten Rang der Omegas, hatte das Rückgrat, ihn abzulehnen.

Nathan Levasseur hatte immer ein perfektes Leben. Als Erbe eines Finanzimperiums, charismatisch und ehrgeizig, bekommt er immer, was er will. Erfolg, Macht, Liebe: alles gehört ihm. An seiner Seite steht Sophia, seine Verlobte, die Perfektion verkörpert. Sie sind das ideale Paar, von allen beneidet. Bis zu dem Tag, an dem alles zusammenbricht. Ein Autounfall lässt ihn gelähmt zurück. Von einem Tag auf den anderen verliert Nathan alles: seine Freiheit, sein Selbstbewusstsein… und Sophia. Sie liebt ihn, sagt sie, aber nicht genug, um diese neue Realität zu ertragen. Sie verlässt ihn ohne einen Blick zurück. Verletzlich in seinem Körper und in seinem Stolz, stürzt Nathan in Wut und Ablehnung. Er lehnt Hilfe ab, verweigert Zuneigung, weigert sich, als ein geminderter Mann gesehen zu werden. Doch Léa, seine ehemalige Assistentin, bleibt. Sie, die in seinen Augen nie gezählt hat, weigert sich zu gehen. Die Monate vergehen. Léa wird zu seinem Halt, die ihn antreibt, sich neu zu erfinden. Doch Nathan lehnt es ab, erneut zu lieben. Er weigert sich zu glauben, dass sie ihn anders als als einen gebrochenen Mann sehen könnte. Also stößt er sie immer wieder von sich, bis auch sie schließlich geht. Aber vielleicht ist es zu spät, um das, was er zerstört hat, zu reparieren. Vielleicht gibt es Fehler, die sich nicht verzeihen lassen. Oder vielleicht… hat die Liebe doch noch eine Chance zu existieren, selbst inmitten der Asche der Vergangenheit.

Nachdem die Jugendfreundin meines Verlobten von meiner angeborenen Herzkrankheit erfahren hatte, mischte sie absichtlich hochkonzentrierten Funktionsdrink in meinen Champagner. Kaum hatte ich einen Schluck genommen, beschleunigte sich mein Herzschlag sofort, und krampfartige Schmerzen in der Brust kamen in Wellen. In Panik riss ich das einzige Notfallpulver auf, das ich bei mir trug. Doch das Wasser zum Einnehmen war gegen hochkonzentriertes Zitronenwasser ausgetauscht worden. Ich trank es auf einmal. Sofort wurde ich kreidebleich und brach schließlich zusammen. „Zitronenwasser hat Vitamin C, das entschlackt und ist sogar gesund!“ Charlotte lachte schallend und hielt sich den Bauch. Mit verschränkten Armen sah sie zu meinem Verlobten – dem Boss der Rolling-Stone-Gang. „Ethan, deine Verlobte ist wirklich eine begnadete Schauspielerin.“ „Ich bin schon so lange Ärztin, aber noch nie habe ich gesehen, dass jemand von ein bisschen Champagner und Zitronenwasser so leidet.“ Ich biss mir auf die Lippen, bis sie fast bluteten, und kämpfte gegen die Tränen der Qual. Dann packte ich Ethan am Hosenbein. „Bitte, ruf einen Krankenwagen, ich schaffe es nicht mehr.“ Ein kurzer Zweifel flackerte in Ethans Augen auf, doch die Gäste unterbrachen ihn sofort. „Hör auf mit dem Theater, niemand stirbt an ein bisschen Champagner und Zitronenwasser.“ „Genau, du bist doch nur eifersüchtig, weil Charlotte befördert wurde und du ihr nicht zuprosten willst.“ Ethans Blick wurde sofort wieder eisig. Er trat zur Seite und riss meine Hand von seinem Hosenbein. „Charlotte ist Ärztin. Solange sie hier ist, wird dir auf der Party nichts passieren.“ Ich bat ihn nicht weiter. Mit letzter Kraft schickte ich meinem Vater einen Hilferuf per SMS.
