Before my wedding, I went to find my fiancé with a pregnancy test in hand, intending to surprise him. Instead, I overheard a heated argument between two men on the terrace. "My dear brother, didn't you personally send her to my bed just to get revenge for Elena?" The man, identical to my fiancé, twirled a USB drive in his hand, a wicked smirk playing on his lips. I had been with my fiancé for seven years, yet I had no idea he had a twin brother. What was worse, I never realized that during those passionate nights when I thought my fiancé was finally showing me affection, the man lying beside me was actually his twin. And all of this happened simply because their "savior" despised me. To repay his debt to her, my fiancé tacitly allowed this humiliation. It turned out that the love I had cherished for seven years was nothing more than a twisted game of revenge the brothers had orchestrated together, all to please another woman.

Leana, tahu ia tak secantik Sasmita. Leana, juga tahu ia tak sepintar Sasmita. Andai bisa memilih, ia tak akan menerima Elvano sebagai suaminya.

Meine Schwester Aurora und ich hatten uns mit Zwillings-Alphas gepaart. Fünf Monate nach Beginn meiner Schwangerschaft wurde ich von einer Gruppe Streunerwölfe angegriffen. Ich versuchte, meinen Alpha-Gefährten Alexander über den Gedankenbund zu erreichen. Aber er ignorierte mich – neunmal. Die Streuner umzingelten mich, bissen in meine Arme und Beine, rissen mit jedem Angriff Fleisch heraus. Schmerz durchzuckte meinen ganzen Körper. Mit einem letzten verzweifelten Ruf erreichte ich ihn ein zehntes Mal. Diesmal durchbrach Alexanders kalte Stimme meinen Geist: „Hast du dein Theater bald beendet? Meine Schwester Vicky wurde entführt. Belästige mich nicht weiter.“ Victoria war ihre Stiefschwester – diejenige, die sie wirklich liebten. Nun hielt sie nichts mehr zurück. Die Streuner stürzten sich auf mich. Einer riss mir mit den Fängen den Bauch auf. Ich sah entsetzt zu, wie sie mein ungeborenes Kind in Stücke rissen. Als ich dem Tod nahe war, fand Aurora mich – sie kämpfte gegen die Angreifer. Doch es waren zu viele. Bald lag auch sie schwer verletzt und blutend neben mir. Sie rief ihren Gefährten Ethan über den Gedankenbund, doch alles, was sie erhielt, war: „Ich suche nach Vicky. Belästige mich nicht.“ Aurora blieb keine Wahl. Sie verwandelte sich und schleppte mich auf ihrem Wolfskörper davon. Sie raste den Berg hinunter, doch ein plötzliches Gewitter löste einen Erdrutsch aus und begrub uns unter Matsch und Geröll. Zum Glück fanden Grenzwachen uns rechtzeitig. Aurora und ich überlebten nur knapp. Als ich im Rudelkrankenhaus aufwachte, war mein erster klarer Gedanke: Den Gefährtenbund lösen.

I have seen and heard many women coming out of Cassius's motorhome in the past year. It was painful and repulsive. What makes it worse is that he is married to Charity. Multiple times they have been unfaithful to one another. Sadly, I witnessed the consequences of infidelity when my best friend's mate betrayed her and she lost her life before my eyes. I can't believe that I used to have feelings for him or believed we would be mates someday. I would rather die by rejecting him than go through the same pain my best friend experienced when her mate cheated on her after marking her. Never in a million years did I think rejecting my fated mate, would throw me into a twisted romance with two mates fighting each other for my love. What the hell am I supposed to do now?

Alpha Kai's Son. My father's shadow still dominates the BloodCrest Pack I'm trying to lead; even becoming Alpha didn't change a damn thing. So I take my anger out on any poor bastard put in the steel ring with me. It calms me, but only for a few hours; because blood-red rage follows me everywhere I go. It follows me into the cage the night I'm pitted against an opponent half my size. An opponent with a bigger chest than your average gym buff. A woman... I think I'm doing the right thing by refusing the fight because I know this woman will meet Death at my hands. That is, until my wolf growls the word I never expected to hear in the middle of a fight. MATE. With a name as sweet as her scent and a right hook to match, I know I can't accept Cherie as my mate. Not with the beast I inherited from my tainted bloodline - a Lycan with a thirst for blood… So do I reject sweet Cherie to protect her, or do I indulge in the whims of my beast and claim her? * Cherie I didn't expect to meet my mate when I decided to step into that ring that night. But the second my wolf recognized its mate, I knew it wouldn't be over. Creed Volkov is every bit as terrifying as they say, but I won't allow myself to be bullied by another man. I've come here to win; I NEED to win in order to protect those close to me. Running away from Creed seems like the logical choice, I find myself in that ring with him again. Why can't I bring myself to say the Rejection Vow? And why am I suddenly having dreams about a red-haired woman?

To save my family, I was dying of silver poisoning, my fiancé Marcus, the Alpha who had promised to never abandon me, now wanted to harvest my healthy kidney for my parents' adopted daughter, Celeste. Nobody cares if I live or die So I refused the conservative treatment plan. I injected myself with the witch's life potion. The price? In 72 hours, I would die from complete organ failure. In those three days, I gave my private healing center—the one I'd built with my own hands—to Celeste. Mom and Dad beamed with joy. "Good girl, you've finally grown up. You're taking care of your sister now." Marcus wanted to postpone our wedding to care for Celeste. I accepted it calmly. He praised me for finally being understanding. I even gave up my position as the pack's chief healer to Celeste. My parents and Marcus were so excited they planned to throw her a grand celebration ball. They invited every important person with status in the pack to honor her new role. I was just curious about one thing. After I died, would they shed a single tear for me?

Damien y su exesposa se divorciaron hace cinco años, y luego él se casó conmigo. Cuando nos casamos, él tenía una hija adoptiva de 13 años llamada Lily. Después de nuestro matrimonio, Damien me trató excepcionalmente bien y yo siempre traté a Lily como si fuera mi propia hija; incluso cuando en ocasiones ella mostraba hostilidad hacia mí, no me importaba. Eso es normal en una chica adolescente, después de todo. Hasta que mi padre fue accidentalmente atropellado por un coche y quedó en estado vegetativo. Fue allí que, por casualidad, escuché una conversación entre Damien y su asistente. —Jefe, no lo entiendo. ¿Por qué bloquear la craneotomía? —preguntó el asistente, sonando confundido—. Los médicos dicen que hay una alta probabilidad de que él pueda recuperarse. ¿Por qué insiste en un tratamiento conservador? —Él no puede despertar —la voz de Damien estaba contenida por el dolor—. Vio el rostro de Lily. Me cubrí la boca con la mano, clavando las uñas profundamente en mi carne. Lily es la hija adoptiva de Damien y de su difunta exesposa, Sarah. Sarah murió salvando a Damien, por lo que él siempre ha tratado a Lily con una mezcla de culpa y total indulgencia. Damien continuó, con un tono increíblemente conflictivo: —¡Pero Lily no lo hizo a propósito! Solo tiene trece años… Si obtiene antecedentes penales, su vida se acabará. El único deseo de Sarah antes de morir fue que yo cuidara de Lily y la viera crecer sana y salva. No puedo renunciar a ella. El asistente guardó silencio durante unos segundos. —¿Y qué hay de su esposa? —Voy a compensarla por esto —la voz de Damien se suavizó—. Le proporcionaré la vida más próspera y conseguiré la sala privada más grande junto con los mejores cuidadores para su padre, quien sufrió el accidente automovilístico. No me importa cuánto cueste. Mi corazón se hundió por completo. ¿Solo porque te sientes culpable con Sarah y Lily vas a sacrificar a mi padre? Con las manos temblorosas, guardé la grabación que tomé y le pedí a mi abogado que preparara los papeles del divorcio. Sin embargo, cuando desaparecí por completo de su vida, el una vez poderoso CEO se volvió loco.

I'd had a crush on my brother's best friend, Ethan—the most powerful Alpha of our Northern Territory—since I was twelve years old. When I was fifteen, I boldly confessed my feelings to him. He laughed and patted my head, casually promising, "When you turn eighteen and shift, if you're my mate, I'll mark you." That offhand promise became my greatest hope for three years. I spent every day waiting for my wolf to awaken, praying to the Moon Goddess that she would designate us as mates. But on the night of my eighteenth birthday, after my wolf first awakened, I was shocked to discover that Ethan truly was my mate! Ignoring the intense shifting pain coursing through my body, I immediately shifted into my wolf form and ran toward Ethan's training grounds. I clutched the gift I'd prepared long ago, but instead heard Ethan urgently confessing to his Omega assistant Victoria: "Who would be stupid enough to actually care about a true mate? The bond between her and me is just the Moon Goddess's mistake. I only love you. I'll only mark you as my Luna." The words hit me like silver bullets to the chest. My wolf whimpered in pain, the mate bond burning like acid in my veins. I stood frozen behind the trees, watching the man I'd loved for six years dismiss our sacred connection as if it meant nothing. Later, Ethan introduced Victoria as his "fiancée." When Victoria demanded that I publicly bless their marking ceremony, Ethan remained completely indifferent to my humiliation. "Sylvia should give us her blessing," Victoria announced at the pack meeting, her voice sweet as poison. "After all, she's been like a little sister to Ethan all these years." Every wolf in the room could smell my distress. But Ethan said nothing, refusing to even look at me. When rogue wolves attacked our territory and I was surrounded, Ethan didn't hesitate to scoop up Victoria—who had only a tiny scratch on her finger—and carry her away to find the pack healer. He left me bleeding and alone, silver claws ha

Después de que mis padres murieran, fui adoptada inesperadamente por el Alfa y la Luna, convirtiéndome en la única humana en territorio de lobos. Durante veinte años, sus gemelos, herederos Alfa, me colmaron de cariño, y su cortejo y favoritismo hicieron que todos me envidiaran con locura. Pero, cuando quise elegir a un compañero, ambos me rechazaron. —Quiero enfocarme primero en expandir nuestro territorio de lobos —dijo Kane—. No quiero encontrar un compañero tan temprano. —Los humanos no pueden soportar el linaje de sangre Alfa —añadió Liam, por su parte. Al día siguiente, en el banquete de mi cumpleaños, ambos le propusieron matrimonio al mismo tiempo a la hija de la sirvienta Omega, y, para hacerla feliz, me obligaron a beber licor «Llama de Sangre», algo que un humano era incapaz de soportar. Se me rompió el corazón por completo, y el día que me dieron de alta del hospital, llamé a mi madre adoptiva: —Estoy dispuesta a casarme con el Rey Vampiro.
