grand general 24

In the shadowy depths of Silverclaw, a secluded town steeped in ancient werewolf lore, Seraphina Nightshade stands poised to inherit her destiny as the next Luna. At 24, Seraphina is the heir to a powerful pack, bound by tradition and prophecy. But as she trains for her ascension, she is haunted by visions that hint at a fate more complex and perilous than she ever imagined. When Draven Thorn, the ruthless Alpha of the rival Blackwood pack, launches a series of attacks designed to destabilize Silverclaw, Seraphina finds herself caught in a web of betrayal and danger. Draven's ambitions threaten not only her pack but the delicate balance of power in the region. As tensions escalate, Seraphina uncovers disturbing truths about her lineage and the prophecy that governs her life. With her closest allies by her side and her own powers awakening, Seraphina must navigate a treacherous path filled with hidden enemies, ancient curses, and shocking revelations. As she delves deeper into the prophecy, she discovers that the true threat may lie not in the rival pack but in a dark force lurking in the shadows. In The Luna’s Ascension alliances are tested, secrets are unveiled, and the fate of Silverclaw hangs in the balance. Will Seraphina embrace her destiny and rise to the challenge, or will the weight of the prophecy and the schemes of her enemies lead to the pack’s downfall?

“No one touches what is mine and gets to live,” he replies firmly, sending a cold shiver down my spine. “Alessandro, I am not yours. I am not anyone’s property,” I argue. He laughs softly. “Okay,” he says casually, as if what I said doesn't matter. “I mean it; I will never be yours—not your property, not your plaything, and certainly not your mistress,” I've already made it clear that I won't be his mistress; I don’t know why he can’t seem to accept that. His jaw tightens, then he scoffs. “He threatened you, he touched you,” he says, his eyes narrowing. “It really didn’t matter if the device was his or not; he knew what was coming for him.” In search of her missing father, Renée, a 24 year old boudoir photographer, moves to a new country and makes a deal with the FBI. She helps them bring down the most feared Mafia Don in the country, and they help her find her father. All she has to do is seduce him and get him to lower his guard—easy. Alessandro has been married for three years to the perfect wife, the princess of the East Mafia dome. That kind of marriage makes Alessandro the leader of both the South and the East of the Mafia dome and untouchable, Ruthless. Then one night at a masquerade ball, he meets her, the seductive stranger with a different accent. She looks like the typical type of woman he would make his mistress. But is that enough? Will his world accept a woman like her? It has been a rule for as long as he can remember that certain races can't mix, at least not from where he stands. Plus, he is a married man. Everything about her is forbidden.

Faith Mitchell n'a jamais eu confiance en elle. Elle se contentait de se fondre dans le décor, au grand dam de ses amis. À 16 ans, sa vie était un cliché d'adolescente normale. Elle était amoureuse de Jace, l'odieux joueur qu'elle ne pouvait pas avoir, et sa plus grande inquiétude était de savoir si oui ou non il finirait par reprendre ses esprits et voir qu'elle était vraiment celle qu'il lui fallait. Jusqu'à ce qu'elle soit kidnappée et recrutée par une agence secrète d'assassins. Elle est arrachée à sa vie d'adolescente normale et jetée dans un monde d'armes à feu, de couteaux et de criminels. L'agence la transforme en une parfaite machine à tuer et, à 19 ans, elle n'est plus la jeune fille timide que l'on a arrachée à sa vie simple, mais une tueuse impitoyable qui ne recule devant rien pour mener à bien sa mission, quelle qu'elle soit. L'agence a alors une nouvelle mission qui implique que Faith retourne dans sa ville natale et affronte ses amis, sa famille et le garçon qui lui a brisé le cœur juste avant qu'il ne se transforme en pierre. Que se passera-t-il lorsque Faith se retrouvera face à face avec Jace ? L'odieux joueur sera-t-il capable d'atteindre et de récupérer l'ancienne Faith sans appuyer sur aucun de ses mauvais boutons, étant donné que la fille timide qu'il a connue a maintenant une arme.....

True love never dies. Not even when those around me are trying to kill it. With vampire bounty hunters still out for me, having the Grand Coven accuse me of treason against witches is the last thing I need. No one should tell me who I can and cannot love. Determined not to let anyone or anything get in our way, Lucas and I decide to lay low for a while and let everything blow over with my coven while Lucas hunts for the vampires who tried to kidnap me. But things, of course, don’t go according to plan, and when I stumble upon an ancient evil force hiding out in the underground of Chicago, we realize our forbidden romance is the least of our worries. As we search for a way to defeat unbeatable odds, I start to discover that things aren’t what they seem…including my very existence.

In the shadowy depths of the Crescent Moon Pack, an unexpected romance brews amidst deception and power struggles. Elena, an Omega who is wolfless, faced rejection and disgrace. However, she contested it with all her might. When Prince Adrian was crowned as the new Alpha, he introduced his chosen Luna, igniting Elena's outrage. She boldly declared to the entire pack that she was his true Luna, only to be met with disbelief and scorn. Alpha Gregory, puzzled by Elena's claims, questioned Prince Adrian, who vehemently denied any connection. Humiliated and heartbroken, Elena resigned herself to her fate, remaining a maid in the grand palace. Yet, Adrian couldn't resist his growing feelings for her. Just as their forbidden love began to blossom, a mysterious curse stripped Adrian of his werewolf abilities. The truth came to light when Alpha Gregory discovered Elena was indeed Adrian's true Luna. In a twist of fate, he forced them into marriage. But danger lurks around every corner, and the bond between Elena and Adrian is tested like never before. Can they overcome the shadows of betrayal and embrace their destined love? Or will the dark forces conspiring against them succeed in tearing them apart forever?

On the night of my fifth wedding anniversary with Sebastian Gray, he lit up the entire city with fireworks for me. All our friends kept saying what a wonderful man he was—so loving, so romantic. The kind of husband every woman dreams of. At the grand finale, the fireworks burst into words that lit up the night sky: Happy Birthday, Jen. Jennifer Kingsley was Sebastian's first love, his ideal woman, the one who had always lingered in his heart. Sebastian looked at me, his expression almost sheepish. "Ah, it's Jen's birthday too. They must have mixed up the fireworks." That night, Jennifer posted on her social media: "Men are boys till the day they die, always fumbling their way through romance." She added a picture of the fireworks, along with a photo of her and Sebastian standing close under the dazzling display. I liked her post and left a comment: "From school to altar—what a touching love story. When's the wedding?"

'I can fix him.' Willa Alfiero had naively thought she could fix her fated mate's twisted beliefs after she met him in the middle of a bloody battle. But her optimism was quickly burned to ashes when she learned that her fated mate was no ordinary enemy, but was actually Gallahan Wick. The General of the Culling Army. Son of the Alpha King. The tyrant who conquered and looted multiple human kingdoms. Willa couldn’t bear to surrender to the side Gallahan belonged to, much less turn a blind eye to his twisted and cruel acts, even though nature and instinct dictated her to stay with him. So, she ran away. She was also forced to retreat as a Warrior of her pack and as a soldier of the ongoing war between the League of the Moon and the Culling Army. Not because her mind and heart had been swayed. Not because she wasn’t brave enough to fight Gallahan in another battle. But because she was pregnant, and she intended to keep her children hidden from their tyrannical father. But no secret could stay as a secret forever. Gallahan was bound to find out about the existence of his children. With their opposing beliefs and strained past, would their tie as fated mates be enough to bring their family back together?

神崎颯斗と付き合い始めて二年目。私が30歳、彼は24歳になっていた。 正直、私は何度も彼に聞いていた。「ねえ、颯斗は将来、結婚って考えてるの？」と。でも彼はいつも同じ答えを繰り返した。 「俺はまだ若いから、結婚なんて考えないよ。今は仕事を頑張る時期だしさ」そう笑って、私の問いかけをさらりとかわしてきた。 だけど......そんな彼が他の女性と親しげに寄り添い、笑顔で抱き合う写真を、私は彼のSNSで見つけてしまった。胸が締め付けられた。 さらに悪いことに、彼が酔っ払ったとき、友人たちと話していたという会話の録音が送られてきた。 「おい、本当にあの年増女と結婚する気かよ！」友人にからかわれて、彼は酒瓶を片手にこう答えた。 「俺が結婚？冗談じゃねえよ。若くて可愛い子の方が絶対いいに決まってる。あいつは金持ってて、俺に尽くしてくれるから一緒にいるだけ。あんなシワだらけのババア、顔見るだけで吐き気がする」 笑い声が耳にこびりつく。 私がどれだけ彼に尽くしてきたかなんて、彼には一ミリも伝わっていなかったんだ。全てが虚しい偽りの言葉だったのかと思うと、悲しみと怒りが心を埋め尽くした。 もう、こんな関係はやめよう。私はこの恋に決着をつけ、心を断ち切った。 そして私はただ一つのことに集中することにした。そう、お金を稼ぐことだ。自分の力で手に入れたお金があれば、心の隙間なんて埋められる。
