"My engagement party is tomorrow," Cecilia said calmly. "But I'm missing one thing." "What?" he asked. She smiled. "A fiancé." "My pleasure," he said, voice low and steady. "Miss Fiancée." *** The night before her engagement party, Cecilia is betrayed by her ex and her own cousin. But humiliation won't be her ending. In a bold move, she picks a devastatingly handsome stranger to play the role of her fiancé. What she doesn't know is--Liam Sinclair isn't someone you simply "choose." He's dangerous, powerful, and far from ordinary. By the time Cecilia realizes who he really is, it's already too late. Because Liam never lets go of what's his.

Our blood-oath ceremony was on the horizon. But my fated mate, Darius, told me he had to forge a blood bond with another woman. Livia. He claimed her life force was unraveling. That without his blood, she would fade to nothing. I fought him. But the next day, he moved Livia directly into the Prince's Chambers in the Coven’s castle. That was the suite reserved for the future Prince’s mate. My suite. He tried to soothe me, sinking to his knees, his crimson eyes pleading. “Once she’s stable, I swear I’ll break the bond. You are my only eternity. You always will be.” But then Livia found me. She showed me the fresh, golden mark on her wrist—the symbol of an Eternal Bond. They had already completed the sacred rite. Long before Darius ever confessed to me. My heart shattered to ash. I dragged my nail across the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our blood-oath ceremony. Then I opened the encrypted message from the Vienna Coven Academy. “I accept. I’ll leave on the day of our ceremony.”

Los rebeldes me tomaron mientras estaba protegiendo a mi pareja, el Alfa Arturo. Volví tres años después, solo para encontrar que Arturo estaba de pareja con mi hermana, Calista. Mi hijo, Leo, no me reconoció. Solo veía a Calista como su verdadera madre. Rota, forcé a Arturo a desterrar a Calista con el apoyo de los Ancianos, aprovechando mis contribuciones pasadas. Pero ella murió en una manada débil y apartada. Envenenada. Después de su muerte, Leo me odió por ello. Arturo nunca me culpó, sin embargo. Solo seguía diciéndome que todo estaría bien. Pero cuando nuestra manada fue atacada de nuevo, me lanzó a nuestros enemigos sin dudar. Me dejó morir. Mientras yacía muriendo, lo escuché gruñir entre dientes apretados: —Si no hubieras vuelto, Calista habría sido mi pareja de por vida. Mi corazón se convirtió en cenizas. Entonces, abrí los ojos. Estaba de vuelta. De vuelta al día en que regresé después de haberme ido por tres años. Esta vez, miré a Arturo protegiendo a Calista, con Leo aferrado a ella. “Rompo nuestro vínculo de pareja. A partir de hoy, he terminado con todos ustedes.”

My fated mate left the pack, heartbroken, after I rejected him. Seven years later, he returned with his new mate-to-be. By then, the pack doctor had given me my final diagnosis. "Extreme wolf spirit decay." It was irreversible. My wolf would be gone within months. My life was at its end. My fated mate, Alpha Roric, now the most powerful Alpha in North America, smirked when he saw me. I was pale and thin, leaning on my sister for support. "Ayla. Seven years, and you're too weak to even stand straight? When you rejected me, didn't you say that beta was a better match? Where is he now?" His voice dripped with hate. I just tugged on the sleeves of my coat, hiding the way my fingers trembled. A tell-tale sign of my power slipping away. "It's just a cold." Roric's gaze swept over me like ice. "In that case, you should come to my Mating Ceremony with Cressida. I'll save you the best seat." I just smiled. "I can't. I'll be going somewhere far away soon. I'm sorry." Then, pulling my sister with me, I turned and melted into the shadows.

Kurz vor unserer Paarungszeremonie erzählte mir mein Gefährte, Alpha Damien, er müsse eine Omega aus unserem Rudel, Seraphina, vorübergehend markieren. Er behauptete, sie hätte die Mondkrankheit und würde sterben, wenn er sie nicht markierte. Ich wehrte mich dagegen, aber am nächsten Tag zog er Seraphina direkt in das Penthouse des Packhauses ein. Die Suite, die für die zukünftige Luna bestimmt war. Meine Suite. Um mich zu beruhigen, ging er sogar auf die Knie, mit roten Augen, als er versprach: „Sobald sie in Sicherheit ist, werde ich die Markierung entfernen. Du wirst immer noch meine einzige Luna sein.“ Aber dann suchte mich Seraphina auf, mit einem medizinischen Bericht in der Hand. Sechs Wochen schwanger. Sie hatten ihre Markierungszeremonie bereits lange abgehalten, bevor Damien überhaupt zu mir kam. Mein Herz zerfiel zu Asche. Mein Stift grub sich in den Kalender und ritzte ein wütendes X über das Datum, das für unsere Paarungszeremonie bestimmt war. Dann öffnete ich meinen Laptop und antwortete auf die E-Mail der Europäischen Gilde der Lorbeerheiler. „Ich nehme Ihre Einladung an. Ich reise am Tag der Paarungszeremonie ab.“

Rogues took me while I was protecting my mate, Alpha Arthur. I came back three years later, only to find Arthur mated to my sister, Calista. My son, Leo, didn't recognize me. He only saw Calista as his real mother. Broken, I forced Arthur to banish Calista with the Elders' support, using my past contributions as leverage. But she died in a weak, outlying pack. Poisoned. After her death, Leo hated me for it. Arthur never blamed me, though. He just kept telling me everything would be okay. But when our pack was attacked again, he threw me to our enemies without hesitation. Left me to die. As I lay dying, I heard him snarl through gritted teeth. "If you hadn't come back, Calista would have been my mate for life!" My heart turned to ash. Then, I opened my eyes. I was back. Back to the day I returned after being gone for three years. This time, I looked at Arthur shielding Calista, with Leo clinging to her. "I sever our mate bond. From this day on, I am done with all of you."

Eu era apenas uma garota das favelas que se apaixonou por Damon Vitale, o Chefão mais temido de Nova York. Por cinco anos, eu dediquei minha vida a ele e cheguei a levar nove tiros para protegê-lo. Ele beijava minhas cicatrizes enquanto eu sangrava, me segurava apertado e me fazia pensar que eu era a sua verdadeira rainha. Então, quando eu me recuperava, ele me fodia com uma paixão tão intensa que chegava a perder os sentidos. Eu achava que ficaríamos juntos. Eu achava que iríamos nos casar. Mas, na nossa 999ª noite, ele me disse que estava noivo. Sua noiva era a princesinha da família rival, Bianca. Eu queria chorar e ele apenas segurou meu queixo, soprou fumaça na minha cara e disse, em meio a risos: — Você achou mesmo que ia se casar comigo, Nora? Vou deixar isso bem claro. A gente transa. Só isso. Você não é minha parceira. É tipo uma obra de arte que eu coleciono ou uma pet da qual sou dono. Uma pet. Era só isso que ele queria de mim. Em vez disso, fiz uma ligação de um telefone criptografado. [Eu aceito sua oferta. Três dias. Me tire de Nova York.]

L'année de ma renaissance était aussi celle où la guerre contre les vampires a éclaté. La toute première chose que j'ai faite a été de me débarrasser du petit. Le petit de mon compagnon. Celui de l'Alpha Lucas. Dans ma vie précédente, il avait couvert son amie d'enfance, Sarah, lorsqu'elle s'était accouplée avec un vampire. Il avait pris mon enfant de sang pur et l'avait échangé contre le bâtard métis qu'elle portait. On m'avait accusée de trahison. On m'avait torturée à mort dans une cellule d'argent. Et mon propre fils, manipulé et endoctriné par Sarah, s'était tenu au-dessus de mon cadavre pour me dire de pourrir en enfer. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais enceinte de trois mois. Je n'ai pas hésité une seconde. Je me suis rendue directement à la cabane de la sorcière et j'ai bu le poison qu'elle m'a tendu. Mais tandis que la vie s'échappait de mon corps, j'ai débouché un autre flacon : une potion de Mimétisme, rare et coûteuse. Elle imite les battements de cœur d'un fœtus. Elle diffuse l'odeur d'une louve enceinte. Lucas veut un enfant sacrificiel pour endosser la faute de Sarah. Très bien. Je vais lui offrir le spectacle qu'il attend. Cette fois, je n'ai plus aucune faiblesse.
