„Mein Alpha, wenn deine Luna wüsste, dass der Embryo, der in ihren Bauch transplantiert wurde, eigentlich unser befruchtetes Ei war und sie somit nur unsere Leihmutter ist, wäre sie wahrscheinlich so wütend, dass sie sich umbringen würde, oder?“ Elora schnappte nach Luft. Mein Gefährte, Damon, der Alpha des Silbermondrudels, knetete Eloras Brüste. „Ich mag sie auch nicht. Aber wenn sie stirbt, wer soll dann mein Rudel leiten? Du kleines Luder“ Damon lachte leise, zog sie von vorne zu sich heran und stieß von hinten gnadenlos in sie hinein. „Also müssen wir das geheim halten. Wenn unser Kind dann geboren ist und die Position des Alphas von mir übernimmt, werden wir ihr den endgültigen Schlag versetzen.“ Ich tat so, als wüsste ich von nichts, brachte das Kind zur Welt und zog es mit großer Sorgfalt auf. Zweiundzwanzig Jahre später, nachdem mein Sohn Torin sein Studium abgeschlossen hatte, übergaben wir ihm die Alphaposition und meinen gesamten Reichtum. Bei der Übergabezeremonie, vor den Ältesten, Adligen und Anführern verbündeter Rudel, kam Elora Arm in Arm mit meinem Gefährten herein. Dann hielt sie mir das Testergebnis einer DNA- Analyse entgegen. „Torin ist der leibliche Sohn von Damon und mir. Jetzt ist es an der Zeit, ihn mir zurückzugeben.“ Mein Sohn zog ein kleines Fläschchen hervor und sagte gnadenlos zu mir: „Das ist ein Trank, den ich von einer Hexe bekommen habe. Trink ihn jetzt, brich die Gefährtenbindung zu meinem Vater und verschwinde so weit und schnell wie möglich von hier!“ Ich lächelte leicht. „In Ordnung.“

Meine beste Freundin und ich heirateten in eine Top-wohlhabende Familie ein. Ich heiratete den älteren Bruder, einen genialen Arzt, und sie den jüngeren Bruder, einen kühlen CEO. Am Hochzeitstag verschwand Sven Lutz plötzlich, um seiner Traumfrau bei der Suche nach ihrem Hund zu helfen. Meine Großmutter erlitt aufgrund des Schocks einen Herzinfarkt, und ich bat ihn, zurückzukehren und sie zu retten. Er antwortete wütend: „Mia Schmidt, bist du verrückt? Du traust dich, deine einzige Verwandte zu verfluchen, nur um mich zurückzuholen? Quinnys Hund ist verschwunden, ich helfe ihr beim Suchen, und die Hochzeit kann jederzeit nachgeholt werden.“ An diesem Tag fand sie ihren Hund, aber ich verlor für immer meine Großmutter. Ich wurde ohnmächtig vor Weinen und als ich wieder aufwachte, fragte ich meine beste Freundin: „Vivian, ich werde mich scheiden lassen. Und du?“ Meine beste Freundin umarmte mich und weinte: „Ich will mich auch scheiden lassen!“ Die beiden Brüder der Familie Lutz erhielten die Scheidungsvereinbarungen und weinten vor Schmerz.

He straddled me, his hips swirling in slow, maddening circles. His body was right there, pressing into mine, and I couldn’t escape it; I didn’t want to. His hands found mine and guided them to his chest, and when my palms touched his warm skin, I was gone. My pulse was a blur of frantic beats pounding in my ears, drowning out the crowd's cheers and whistles. With his face inches from mine, Alec leaned in. His breath ghosted over my lips, his smile, cocky, knowing, playful, and somehow tender all at once. “You okay there?” he asked with an amused tone, and I opened my mouth, desperate to say something—anything—but nothing came out. My throat was dry, my skin was on fire and my mind was completely blank. All I could do was stare at him, completely mesmerized by how his body moved against mine and that wicked smirk on his lips. Before I knew it, heat pooled low in my belly, spreading downward, and I instinctively clenched my thighs together to stop the throbbing that ignited between my legs, but it was too late as I dampened the soft leather.

“Why do you suddenly want out of this marriage? Who the fuck are you screwing, you dumb bitch?!” “I'm not screw-” I tried to explain, but he was already on me and I screamed as he dragged me up by my neck, his hand so tight on my throat I couldn’t breathe. “Who is it?!” he growled. “Who the fuck would dare!” ---- In a world absent the mate bond, alliances were formed through blood, power, and betrayal rather than fate. Makena Blackwell was born into the mafia's lowest-ranking position, promised at birth to a powerful heir in exchange for her family's survival. She was ready to marry him. But he was ready to destroy her. On the night she was meant to die, however, something impossible happened. A man rose from the icy steel trays of her father’s morgue. He was a stranger, with no memory, no name, and no pulse. And when their gazes met, fate spoke the word they never expected to hear in their lifetime, echoing so loudly in their souls it shook the very fabric of their being. “Mate!” The man the world left for dead wasn’t just anyone; he was the dread every mafia house feared, and he was hers. She was promised to a prince of power… but fate gave her the king of the dead.
