Cependant, pour son dix-huitième anniversaire, elle découvrit que Robert était son Âme Soeur ! Avant qu'elle ne puisse l'enlacer d'excitation, Robert avait déjà repoussé sa main comme un détritus. « Tu ne deviendras pas mon Âme Soeur. Fais comme si rien ne s'était passé aujourd'hui. Pars et garde ta langue. Ne dis rien que tu ne devrais pas dire ! » Robert reluquait publiquement la sexy et belle blonde Alison lors de leur remise des diplômes au lycée.

Lors de l'intronisation de Robert en tant qu'Alpha, Cecily ne pouvait plus tolérer ses assiduités. « Moi, Cecily Levin, je rejette Robert Paslo en tant qu'âme soeur. » Quand Robert était furieux et souffrant, voulant blesser Cecily, Michael réapparut ! « Cecily était l'Âme Soeur arrangée par la Déesse de la Lune pour moi. » Michael regardait Cecily doucement. « Quiconque ose la toucher manque de respect à la famille royale. »
"Nicht hier, Schwächling! Wir treffen uns in einer Stunde am Bach nahe der Rudelgrenze, dann kannst du mir zeigen, was du kannst." informierte er sie. "Gut, Herausforderung angenommen! Aber wenn ich dich besiege, hörst du auf, mich zu schikanieren und lässt mich in Ruhe!" Aurora knirschte. "Klar." Erwiderte er ihr. "Der Hass, den ich für dich empfinde, wird aufhören, wenn du nicht mehr da bist. Dort drüben wird dir niemand zu Hilfe kommen und ich kann dich endlich in Stücke reißen. Niemand beleidigt Dante und kommt ungeschoren davon!" dachte Dante innerlich, während er wegging. Auroras Leben sollte eigentlich perfekt sein, da sie von adliger Geburt war, aber leider war es alles andere als perfekt. Ihr Vater war der Beta, der Stellvertreter des Alphas in ihrem Rudel, und ihre Mutter war eine der starken Kriegerinnen des Rudels. Da sie die erste Tochter war, wurde sie wie eine Blume behandelt, geschützt vor Schaden, Traurigkeit, Unruhe und Ärger, und war nur der reinen Freude, der reinen Liebe, dem Glück und allem Schönen ausgesetzt, während sie aufwuchs, aber ihr Leben war nicht auf Rosen gebettet, als sie älter wurde! Als sie aufwuchs, hatte sie geglaubt, sie würde normal sein wie jeder andere Werwolf in ihrem Rudel und die gesamte Werwolfgemeinschaft, aber leider war sie seltsam anders. Sie war der einzige Werwolf in ihrem Rudel, der keinen Wolf, ein inneres Tier, hatte, und wurde deshalb wie eine Ausgestoßene behandelt. Während andere Werwölfe ihre Wölfe an ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag bekamen, weigerte sich ihrer, aufzutauchen. Nicht einmal, als sie achtzehn Jahre alt wurde. Nicht einmal, als sie ihren Gefährten traf!!!

"Two bonds, two brothers, and one broken girl caught in the middle of it all." Haelyn's life was never her own. Sold by the very family that should have protected her and thrust into a world of Alphas and power, into the arms of Archer, the cold, ruthless Alpha King, who only needed her as a pawn in a bigger game. His dominance is overwhelming, his fire undeniable, his presence impossible to ignore. But then there's Artemis, Archer's twin and the calm to his storm. Compassionate, steady, and kind, Artemis offers her a glimpse of the freedom and love she's always yearned for.

Torn between two Alpha brothers and fighting the scars of her past, Haelyn must draw strength from herself to fight against her family's betrayal and the bond that connects her to two strong men.

I love you, Brys," he repeated as he leaned closer to kiss me. “I've had feelings for—” The words died on his lips. His eyes grew wide in shock as blood spluttered from his lips. “Wh... What did you just do?” His gaze went down to the knife I drove deep into his chest. “What's wrong, Storm?” I smirked. "Don't you love me anymore?" I mocked. Though it hurts me to do what I did, I had to do so, for my safety. If I don't kill him now, he won't hesitate to do the same to me, in the future... ***** Mega, a nerd who is obsessed with reading novels and comics, ended up reading a comic that sent his blood boiling.

``` —Él detuvo el auto. El agarre en la manta se tensó mientras Raine se preguntaba si había hecho algo mal. Podía sentirlo cuando Torak extendió su mano hacia ella. ¿Me golpeará? Raine se estremeció con ese pensamiento. Torak le retiró la capucha de la cabeza y suavemente apartó su cabello detrás de su oreja. —No —dijo él firmemente—. Quiero verte, no te escondas... —“El espíritu del ángel guardián insuflará nueva vida en el niño humano. Tres ángeles guardianes nacerán de nuevo en el mundo terrenal y los tres serán sus protectores”. —¡¿Protectores?! —Jedrek estalló—. Al final, se detuvo y se giró para mirar a la diosa de la luna desde la lejanía, sus ojos brillaban rojos de ira. Su lobo estaba furioso. —¿Por qué crees que ayudaremos? —preguntó Kace entrecerrando sus ojos negros como la obsidiana, su lobo había tomado control de él. Él era el más joven de los tres y el menos temperamental entre ellos. Los tres habían sido maldecidos por Selene debido a sus acciones feroces para obtener poder y autoridad supremos. La diosa de la luna no les bendijo con una compañera como castigo de su conducta atroz y los forzó a involucrarse en esta guerra mortal con los demonios. —¿Nos convertirás en esclavos de esas criaturas enfermizas!? —preguntó Torak incrédulo—. ¿No temes que los partamos en dos? El ángel guardián era tan frágil y ellos, como licántropos, no apreciaban las debilidades. —No, no lo harán —dijo Selene con paciencia—. No serán sus esclavos ni les harán daño, los cuidarán en todas las formas posibles. Jedrek rió de manera amenazante al oír esto, no les importaba la resurrección de la bestia, una vez que cruzaban su territorio, con o sin el ángel guardián, desgarraría sus cuerpos. —Seré la última persona que verán, en cuanto los encuentre —se refería tanto al ángel guardián como al demonio. Pero, la siguiente voz de Selene estaba teñida de alegría cuando habló. —No lastimarás a tu compañera. ============================ Sesión 1 (capítulo 1 - 394): Torak Donovan - Raine (completado).

A vicious and dangerous vixen… A ticking bomb that no one could diffuse… This was how Raine, the infamous Princess of one of the three clans of an underworld group called MIRAGE, was often described by humans and the mythical creatures in disguise coexisting with humans. Everyone was scared of her. Well... everyone except for one man who never batted an eye meeting her glare. Could he be the only one who could tame the untamed? Or would he end up getting played by the naughty and dangerous Princess of the Moon Clan? *****EXCERPT***** “Being with me is always a game…” she whispered, staring into his eyes with her fiery gaze as if to challenge his cold stare. “You should have known that I’m willing to play any game you want just to stay by your side. After all… you’re my sweet vixen…” He leaned closer to the point where his lips almost touched hers, “You're not someone that can be easily forgotten. You are someone who drives other people crazy, and you drove me insane!” She parted her lips to say something, but all she felt was his familiar warmth on her lips as he silenced her. He was kissing her hungrily, leaving her no room to even think let alone say a word. His chest felt like a hard rock pressing her against the wall. “Don’t fight me… Don’t fight what you truly feel for me...” He wanted her so badly and he would stop at nothing just to make her his! ***** Follow all my works at WWW.LINKTR.EE/EUSTOMA_REYNA Book cover is mine, AI generated.Un hybride demi-humain sans loup. C'était tout ce que représentait Harper Gray. Pour échapper aux abus incessants de sa famille, Harper saisit la première occasion de fuir au moment où sa meute fut attaquée. Mais dans les décombres du chaos et de la ruine, elle trouva son compagnon. Malheureusement, elle ne s'attendait pas à ce que la Déesse de la Lune l'associe avec le tueur le plus notoire du pays ― Damon Valentine, l'Alpha de la meute qui avait décimé la sienne. Les récits de ses cruels méfaits s'étaient répandus à grande échelle. Chaque loup-garou connaissait le nom ; même certains humains le craignaient, et Harper n'était pas une exception. Elle n'avait aucun projet d'être liée à quelqu'un d'aussi terrifiant que Damon Valentine, et elle ferait tout pour briser le lien. Cependant, Damon Valentine n'avait pas l'intention de laisser sa petite compagne s'échapper. Capturée, Harper fut ramenée à la meute de Damon ― non pas en tant que future Luna, mais en tant que nouvelle esclave de la meute. Pour compliquer encore les choses, Damon n'était pas le seul homme à qui la Déesse de la Lune avait destiné Harper. Blaise Valentine — le frère jumeau de Damon — s'intéressait également à leur nouvelle esclave. Les frères Valentine avaient leur part de conflits mais étaient d'accord sur une chose : ils ne laisseraient jamais partir Harper. ― Avertissement : - Dubcon - Thèmes R18 ― Serveur Discord : https://discord.gg/7HAMK2bRYU
