Witness To A Trial

The day before our wedding, my fiancé invites our family onto a cruise ship. He says he wants to test the authenticity of my feelings for him. He shoves my mother off the ship when the waves are at their choppiest. Then, he jumps into the water, too. I'm caught between a rock and a hard place. I panic, not knowing what to do. My mother had already choked on a lot of water, but she pushed me away weakly. She cried, "Save Adrian first! He can't swim!" However, after I drag Adrian Lawson onto land and go back for my mother, I find that she's already stopped breathing. Adrian watches me cry, his expression frosty. "Drop the act. Your mother was a swimmer when she was younger—how can she be dead? I can't believe you didn't save me first. "Vi is right—you don't love me enough. Our wedding is postponed. It'll happen only after you've reflected on your mistakes and I've received an apology from you and your mother." After that, he leaves while holding Vivian Sinclair's hand. He doesn't know that my mother can no longer swim after a major illness a few years back. He's shoved her to her death.

One night before our engagement, Darren Finch insisted on throwing a singles party aboard a cruise ship. He made it clear I wasn't invited. But in the middle of the night, I got a call saying he'd fallen overboard. Panic overtook me. Feverish and disoriented, I stumbled to the deck and dove into the sea without a second thought. The night waters were icy, sapping the strength from my limbs. As I was pulled back onto the deck, shivering and soaked, I heard laughter ring out from the crowd. Carrie Specter, Darren's childhood sweetheart, stood above me. She gave a soft, lilting laugh. "Seeing how far you're willing to go for Darren... I can finally hand him over to you without worry." At that, Darren wrapped an arm smugly around her waist. "Carrie, you really do know me best." "I told you," she beamed, "Paula would pass your test." I let out a cold laugh, slipped the engagement ring from my finger, and flung it at his face. "No, thanks. I wish you two eternal bliss. Just don't ever drag me into your drama again."

Cassy has a secret, one she’s willing to leave her home and pack to keep. But when her boyfriend, Zac, becomes the Ash Mount Beta and refuses to leave with her, her plans take a turn. Torn between fighting for the man she loves and keeping her identity hidden to protect her and her mum, Cassy only has one option. Compete in the Luna Trials - a contest where the mates of the Alpha, Beta and High Guard warriors are chosen. The challenges she faces are far beyond the strategy and strength she needs to win the Trials, and leave her conflicted at every turn. Should Cassy spill her secrets to save a friend? Should she keep fighting for a man who cares more for his title? And what is this strange new pull she has towards the Alpha? But Cassy will face her biggest challenge of all when her past comes back to haunt her.

Five alphas want her. One prophecy will destroy her.

But power never comes without a price. Ava must now face the Alpha Trials, a deadly competition where five dangerously seductive alpha heirs from rival clans must fight not only each other, but the bond forming between them and her.

Because if she fails the Trials, the next full moon will mark her death.

"Mr. Charlton… Please don't… I could get pregnant…" On Christmas Eve, my best friend pulled me along to help cover for her and her boyfriend. After several rounds of drinks, a burning hand slipped beneath the fabric of my tight dress. It moved slowly over me, stroking and teasing, as a man's low voice murmured by my ear, "Relax… I'm only touching. I won't go any further."

Taking five deep breaths I slowly turn around to come face to face with a pair of dazzling green eyes boring into me and my heart skips a beat. "Mine." Mating between werewolves is natural but a werewolf mating with humans is a matter of war. So humans were given the chance to have the opportunity to mate with a werewolf only if they qualify in inducing feelings within the werewolf. That's what they call as 'The Marriage Trials' Hazel Barnard, a twenty year old orphan who lives under the shelter of her unkind Uncle, Aunt and a despising sister has never been able to get the attention of a wolf after she turned eighteen. But what happens when King Alpha Xavier Ash chooses her to be his marriage trial, only in the wake of rejecting her later… Will she be able to win his stone cold heart or become a slave to the rule of ruthless werewolves?

The Moon Goddess offered me her protection. If I died, I'd get one chance to be reborn through the werewolf trials. I was born with "sensory impairment." I wasn't an Omega, but I couldn't shift into a wolf. I couldn't see or sense wolves in their lupine forms or their power. When I appeared alongside ninety-nine other trial candidates in an ancient rainforest shrouded in thick fog and darkness, everyone assumed I wouldn't make it past the first day. But here I was, in the terrifying rainforest nests, treating a ghostly wolf pup, drowned for its unusual coat color, as my own little cub. And, I flirted with a bloodthirsty vampire spirit who took pleasure in killing, treating him like a lover. I even befriended the evil twin Hexenbiest, treating them like sisters. The first time we met, I reached out and ran my hand over the vampire's abs. "Nice body," I commented, "just a bit on the short side." He let out a humorless laugh, reattached the head he'd been holding to his neck, and gripped my chin. "I'm six-foot-five," he said. "Want to take another look?"

Under the full moon will Alice find her other half ready to be with her or will they choose the life they have. Will this first full moon after turning eighteen just be the start of learning what she wants or who.
