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.

My family is the oldest healing bloodline in the Frostmoon Pack, and I am the most promising talent to become the pack's Chief Healer. My destined mate, who promised to mark me on my 20th birthday, instead chose my stepsister Eliza on the very day that was meant to be mine. Then Alaric Blackwood, the legendarily powerful and cold Alpha of the Blackwood pack, openly pursued me after I was abandoned. For five years after becoming his mate, he treated me with tender care and bone-deep devotion. He told me not to work so hard as a healer and to focus on being his Luna. Until I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his loyal Beta. "Alpha, Eliza has already become Chief Healer. How long will you continue pretending to love Amara?" "It doesn't matter since I can't be Eliza's mate anyway. Besides, as long as I'm with Amara, she won't interfere with Eliza's happiness." Every night, he prayed to the Moon Goddess, and every word was filled with longing and love for Eliza. "May the Moon Goddess bless Eliza. May she find peace in body and spirit." "May the Moon Goddess grant Eliza all she desires, and protect all that she loves." ... "Eliza, we're not destined for each other in this life. I only pray we become fated mates in the next." Only then did I realize that my mate—his body belonged to me, but his heart belonged deeply to my stepsister. I've prepared a fake identity and planned a staged death at the hands of rogue wolves. From now on, we will never meet again, in this life or any other.

Nach dem großen Krieg zwischen Menschen, Vampiren, Werwölfen und Elfen wurde ein Abkommen geschlossen: Hybride Nachkommen sollten über die Welt herrschen. In jedem Jahrhundert entschieden Heiratsallianzen zwischen den Menschen und den drei Clans darüber, wer der nächste Weltenherrscher wurde. Die Blutlinie, die als Erste ein Hybridkind hervorbrachte, beanspruchte die Macht. In meinem letzten Leben entschied ich mich, Jax zu heiraten, den ältesten Sohn des Werwolfrudels, der für seine fanatische Loyalität bekannt war. Ich brachte unseren hybriden Sohn zur Welt – einen weißfelligen Welpen, den wir Zeal nannten. Unser Kind wurde zum neuen Herrscher der Welt, und Jax gewann unermessliche Macht. Meine Schwester hingegen war von der Schönheit der Elfen besessen und heiratete in ihren Clan ein. Doch der Elfenprinz ließ keine Gelegenheit aus und nahm sich jede Frau im Wald. Am Ende zog sich meine Schwester eine Krankheit zu, die sie unfruchtbar machte. Von Neid und Verbitterung zerfressen legte sie ein Feuer, das mich und meinen jungen Welpen bei lebendigem Leib verbrannte. Als ich die Augen erneut öffnete, war ich wieder am Tag der Rassenallianzen. Meine Schwester hatte bereits als Erste mit Jax geschlafen. Ich wusste, dass auch sie wiedergeboren worden war. Doch sie wusste nicht, dass Jax gegenüber seinen Gefährtinnen grausam und brutal war – während seiner Brunst hatte er in seinem Bett bereits unzählige Wölfinnen zerfleischt.

My alpha mate Damien had no idea that I'd been secretly in love with him for seven years. The day his first love Sofia ran away from their mating ceremony, I put on the wedding dress and took Luna's place without hesitation. Despite everyone's dissuasion, I insisted on mating to the devastated man. After mating, he was incredibly caring and thoughtful, remembering every anniversary. I thought he'd finally fallen in love with me. Until the day his first love returned, all my illusions were shattered. When the rogue wolves attacked, he left me behind without hesitation to save Sofia: "She's not as strong as you. She needs me." This time, I didn't stop him. I simply severed our mate bond and leave our Pack. But why was this Alpha, who deeply loved Sofia, frantically searching the world for me?

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?

I was the daughter of the Ashford Pack Alpha — the most beautiful she-wolf in the entire southern territory. Alphas lined up to pursue me, and I couldn't be bothered to give any of them a second glance. Until my best friend dared me: "Sera, I've got a bet for you. Think you can make my brother Kieran fall for you? Win, and I'll give you my mother's healing moonstone necklace. Lose, and you hand over that limited-edition sports car you love so much." Countless beautiful she-wolves had tried to get into his bed. Every last one of them had been turned away cold. The very first night after I took the bet, I saved Kieran from a silver poisoning, and spent the rest of that night tangled up with him while he burned through his heat. For the two years that followed, he grew more and more obsessed with me. On the long conference table in the pack meeting room, he pinned me down against the papers. In every room of his private estate, we left traces of ourselves behind. I gradually fell in love with him during countless intimate moments. Until the night only to overhear his conversation with the pack elder. "Alpha, it's time to announce who will be Luna." The Elder's voice was low and deliberate. "Miss Seraphina has been by your side for two years now. According to pack tradition—" "Enough." Kieran cut him off. "She and I were just having fun." The Elder was quiet for a moment. "And your first love? When you two separated, she asked for two years apart to try other partners. Those two years are up now. Isn't it time for her to come back?" "Yes." Warmth finally crept into Kieran's voice. "It's time for her to come back." That was when I realized — his so-called true love was my half-sister. The person I hated most in the world. For two years, I had been just his experiment while he "tried someone else". I turned and walked away without a second thought. But this powerful Alpha went mad — tearing through the entire wolf world searching for me.

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.
