Skye Hale swore she'd never let another person she loved die without answers. Her mother was silenced by a cartel hit, the case buried by the very agency she served. Skye became the hunter instead.  Undercover. Relentless. Willing to burn everything to uncover the truth. Then Zane, the only man who ever made her feel safe, forced her to choose: him or the ghosts. She chose him. They planned a wedding. She almost believed she could leave the darkness behind. Three days before the vows, her best friend Red was gunned down in the same strip club where she danced to survive. The same cartel. The same cover-up. On the morning she was supposed to walk down the aisle, an anonymous file landed in her phone. Proof that Red died trying to help her, and the killer's trail led straight back to the man who once ran her mother's missions. Skye walked out in her wedding dress, left Zane at the altar, and vanished into the night. Now she's deep in Australia's underworld, disguised as a stripper, chasing the same shadows that took everything from her. The addiction she buried years ago is roaring back. Every slow grind on stage, every stranger's hands on her skin, feeding the raw, aching hunger she can't control. But the deeper she digs, the more dangerous the game becomes. A former colleague wants her dead. A protector sent to save her is hiding his own betrayal. And the man who ordered her mother's murder is closer than she ever imagined. Close enough to touch. Close enough to seduce for the final piece of evidence. One wrong move, and she'll lose her life. One right touch, and she'll lose herself. Skye Hale came for justice. She might leave in ashes.

I was a she-wolf in heat. During this cycle, I needed release multiple times a day, or the ache became unbearable. Every morning, I woke up soaking wet, my panties clinging to my slick entrance. Even the slightest movement made the emptiness feel maddening. My Alpha mate, Ethan, was supposed to be home taking care of my needs, but he’d been away on pack business for over two weeks. After patrolling the territory, I couldn't suppress the urge any longer. Panting heavily, I ducked behind a secluded thicket and began to touch myself. Just then, a rough, large hand grabbed my ass from behind, squeezing hard. A shiver ran through my entire body. I intended to snap at the intruder, ready to tell him to fuck off, but when I turned around, my face burned with a blush. It was Liam—Ethan's brother who had just arrived at the pack. He was a tall, handsome Alpha with rock-hard muscles and eyes burning with lust. He hadn't recognized me; he thought I was just some random she-wolf in heat and continued to grope me shamelessly. "Let's see who we have here," Liam murmured, his voice low and teasing. "Just a little she-wolf in heat, acting like a bitch in need." His Alpha pheromones enveloped me, driving my inner wolf wild with the heat. My slick coated my thighs as the wetness increased. My muscles tensed, and my nipples hardened to the point of pain, aching to be pinched by him. Embarrassment warred with desire. I knew this was wrong—he was my mate's brother. What if Ethan found out? But my body wouldn't listen. My hips rocked back and forth of their own accord, chasing the pressure of his fingers. But just then, my phone buzzed. It was Ethan……

Mi hermana adoptiva, Sophia, la última loba blanca de raza pura de la manada Grell, fue violada y torturada hasta la muerte por un lobo renegado desconocido. Su nota de suicidio contenía solo una frase: [Lina vio su rostro.] A partir de ese día, me convertí en la mayor pecadora de la manada. Porque yo sabía quién era el asesino, pero guardé silencio durante cinco años. Hasta que mi hermano adoptivo, Damien, el Alfa más poderoso de Norteamérica, regresó. Trajo consigo el Dispositivo de Visión del Alma y extrajo a la fuerza recuerdos de mi alma de loba. Todos los hombres lobo a los que se les había aplicado el Dispositivo de Visión del Alma murieron o se volvieron locos. Mi loba fue torturada repetidamente en el dispositivo, pero Damien reprimió el dolor en sus ojos y rugió: —Cuando encuentre la verdad, te enviaré a ti y al asesino al infierno juntos. Pero cuando finalmente descubrieron la verdad, Damien enloqueció.

I am the only daughter of the Alpha King. When I was eight, I rescued a starving rogue pup named Alex from the border. I begged my father to take him in, and we grew up together. At eighteen, I discovered he was my fated mate. My father happily gave me to him in marriage, carved out a stretch of territory, and made him an Alpha. Everyone said we were a perfect match. Until a year ago — while I was pregnant — the boy who had always protected me and adored me fell in love with a Healer named Vivian. He told me that he'd always seen me as a little sister. He got on his knees and begged me to let him go. He was willing to give up the entire territory and his Alpha title. My hands trembled as I signed the Mate Bond dissolution agreement. But before it could take effect, that healer slipped wolfsbane into my medicine. I miscarried. When I finally opened my eyes, Alex rushed to my side with bloodshot eyes, held me tight like he was terrified of losing me, and apologized over and over. He said he was wrong. He swore he would devote himself to me completely. I was consumed by hatred. I ordered Vivian's execution. But Alex grabbed my hand and stopped me. He told me he'd already banished her permanently. For the next year, Alex was perfectly devoted — attentive to my every need. Then, seven months into my second pregnancy, I stumbled upon the woman who should have been long banished — Vivian, quietly settled at the edge of the territory. And Alex, leaning down to kiss her tenderly. If he loves Vivian that much, then I'll take back everything I ever gave him — and let him have his "true love." But if that's what he wanted... then why is he on his knees again, begging me to come back?

But there’s a catch. She’ll be covering the hottest bad-boy in rock, Derek Kane, whom Kaitlyn met when she was a freshman in college and he was a struggling unknown.

Nachdem meine Eltern gestorben waren, wurde ich völlig unerwartet vom Alpha und der Luna adoptiert – und war damit der einzige Mensch im Rudelgebiet der Werwölfe. Zwanzig Jahre lang überschütteten mich ihre Zwillings-Nachfolger, die künftigen Alphas, mit Zuneigung. Ihr Werben und ihre Bevorzugung machten alle rasend vor Neid. Doch als ich mir einen von ihnen als Gefährten wählen wollte, wiesen mich beide als Gefährtin zurück. Kane sagte: „Ich will mich zuerst darauf konzentrieren, unser Rudelgebiet zu erweitern. Ich will noch nicht so früh eine Gefährtin finden.“ Liam sagte: „Menschen können Alpha-Blut nicht ertragen.“ Am nächsten Tag, bei meinem Geburtstagsbankett, machten beide gleichzeitig der Tochter einer Omega-Bediensteten einen Antrag. Um sie glücklich zu machen, zwangen sie mich, die Spirituose „Blood Flame“ zu trinken – etwas, das kein Mensch je hätte aushalten können. Ich war völlig am Boden zerstört. An dem Tag, an dem ich aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde, rief ich meine Adoptivmutter an. „Ich bin bereit, den Vampirkönig zu heiraten.“
