Introduction
Chapter 1
Me enseñaron desde joven a no temer al bosque, especialmente de noche. Siendo lo que somos, nunca hubo razón para tener miedo, incluso cuando nuestros sentidos humanoides fallaban. Pero al mirar los árboles que se alzan a mi alrededor mientras la luna llena flota en el centro del cielo estrellado, y escuchar las burlas de la multitud que me rodea en este pequeño claro, estoy aterrorizada.
—Scarlett Wisteria Holland Reinier, has sido traída ante toda la Manada Reinier esta noche, acusada de un crimen atroz —una anciana se para frente a mí, con la espalda recta, el cabello rojo sangre casi superado por la plata de la edad, y sus profundos ojos zafiro clavados en mí. Fría e implacable, su expresión normalmente amable me resulta tan extraña que apenas puedo evitar acobardarme donde estoy.
—Abuela, por favor... —comienzo, levantando mi cuerpo unos centímetros del suelo frío, solo para ser empujada de nuevo al suelo compacto. El lado izquierdo de mi cara se conecta con una parte rocosa donde mi abuela está parada. Tinta negra destella ante mi visión, el dolor explota en el área donde mi cara se conectó con las rocas y hay un momento en el que no puedo respirar.
—¡Silencio! —me sisea, una mirada de disgusto retorciendo su rostro arrugado mientras entrecierra los ojos antes de dirigirse a la Manada, nuestra familia—. Wisteria, como todos saben, es la descendencia de mi hija traidora, Marissa Reinier-Holland, quien se casó con un humano. —Un frío repentino recorre mi columna y siento un estremecimiento de sorpresa—. Wisteria es el producto de su unión. Una mestiza. ¿Soy mitad humana? —Y ahora Wisteria está siendo juzgada por traición contra la Manada. Mamá dijo que mi padre era un Wolven renegado, me dijo que entró en su vida fugazmente, se casó con ella, me tuvo a mí, y luego murió en alguna cacería cerca de la frontera antes de que yo naciera. Humano. Él era humano. El disgusto se filtra en mis pensamientos mientras la sorpresa comienza a desvanecerse. Soy mitad humana.
—Abuela... —intento hablar de nuevo, intentar disculparme, tal vez incluso rogar por mi vida, pero mi cabeza es pateada otra vez. La dulzura metálica explota en mi lengua, proyectándose desde el fondo de mi boca y saliendo sobre la roca mientras esa cortina negra cae ante mis ojos una vez más, aunque brevemente.
—¡Ella dijo silencio! —Otra cara familiar se cierne sobre la mía cuando vuelvo a mirar hacia arriba, y es casi como mirarme en un espejo. Ojos azul cerúleo se clavan en los míos, la gruesa cortina de cabello rojo sangre está recogida en una larga trenza en su espalda, pero si estuviera suelto como el mío ahora, sus ojos y el hecho de que su cabello es liso serían los únicos marcadores distintivos entre nosotras—. Abuela, terminemos con esto. No puedo soportar mirar a este mestizo más tiempo. —Paris levanta los ojos hacia nuestra abuela, y siento que mi corazón comienza a romperse ante su petición. Mi prima, Paris, tal vez la única Wolven aquí que alguna vez me ha amado además de nuestra abuela y mi propia madre, está pidiendo mi fin.
La abuela mira a Paris con una calidez gentil, la distorsión en su expresión desapareciendo rápidamente, enviándome una punzada de celos y terror. Solía mirarme así, solía considerarme con ese tipo de amor. Y ahora todo se ha ido mientras dirige su atención a mí brevemente, años de amor y amabilidad se han ido por la ventana en una noche. Un momento, y ahora todo ha terminado. El aire en mis pulmones se convierte en vidrio, raspando su camino dentro y fuera de mí mientras lucho por respirar. Pequeñas manchas rojas bailan en las esquinas de mi visión, todo mi cuerpo está temblando ahora, doliendo y juro que puedo escuchar pequeños sonidos de estallido desde lejos.
—Wolven de la Manada Reinier, ¿cómo deberíamos tratar esta transgresión? —Se dirige a la Manada, pero ya sé cuál es el castigo para este tipo de traición, ha sido inculcado en mi cabeza desde que era una cachorra.
—¡Muerte! —El eco resonante envía ola tras ola de hielo a través de mí y es como si estuviera muy lejos. Mi familia comienza a acercarse, llamados feroces resuenan en el claro, pero todo comienza a desvanecerse en el fondo mientras el sonido de mi corazón palpitante crece cada vez más fuerte. Tum-tum. Tum-tum-tum. Tum-tum-tum. Todo mi cuerpo se siente como si estuviera en llamas ahora, pero no puedo emitir ningún sonido mientras el calor todo consumidor devora mi garganta, disparándose de nuevo por mi cuerpo hasta mi boca.
—La Manada ha hablado —llama la abuela, sonriendo a la Manada, pero no hay calidez en su expresión, incluso cuando se vuelve a mirarme. Ni un rastro de piedad—. Que nuestros ancestros tengan misericordia de tu alma. —Una nueva ola de agonía me atraviesa, pero esta vez, no viene de dentro de mí. Escuchar a mi abuela me ha distraído de escuchar a la Manada acercarse y transformarse. El nuevo escozor de mi piel y músculos siendo desgarrados hace que mi mente se vuelva a enfocar.
No pasa ni un segundo cuando levanto la vista y veo las mandíbulas de un lobo rojo bajando para hundirse en mi hombro. Finalmente, mi voz se libera y un grito rompe el sonido de mi corazón en mis oídos. Otro par de garras y mandíbulas se clavan en mi estómago, y no soy lo suficientemente rápida en mi intento de acurrucarme en una bola, de intentar sobrevivir a esto. Una masa de pelaje consume mi visión mientras la Manada se cierra para atacar como uno solo. Mi visión se tiñe de carmesí, una agonía implacable se extiende por todo mi ser, y escucho los inconfundibles sonidos de huesos rompiéndose sobre los gruñidos de los lobos a mi alrededor. El fuego de antes es apagado por el hielo, empujando su ardiente agarre a través de cada nervio y átomo de mi ser hasta que el dolor lo es todo. Constante y agitado, no entiendo lo que está pasando hasta que abro los ojos y veo mis pálidos brazos florecer con pelaje plateado y rojizo. Mis ojos se abren de par en par, la agonía desaparece por un segundo fugaz mientras me doy cuenta de lo que está pasando.
—¿C-Cómo es esto posible? ¡No eres de raza pura! —La abuela me mira mientras mi cuerpo continúa desmoronándose—. ¡Rápido, ahora, antes de que la transformación se complete! —Hay una chispa de pánico en su tono y el asalto se reanuda con renovada furia, pero es como ruido blanco comparado con la ruptura y reformación de huesos bajo mi piel. Como si cada capa de mí que desgarran liberara más y más de la criatura que ahora despierta dentro de mí. Una ola de conciencia más antigua y primitiva inunda mi mente, desgarrando mis recuerdos en una ráfaga de velocidad alimentada por la ira. La traición me apuñala en el pecho, destrozando cualquier semblanza de corazón que pudiera haber retenido de antes, y la nueva conciencia toma el control. Mis mandíbulas se cierran sobre el Wolven más cercano, la sangre brota en mi boca, casi haciéndome ahogar, pero la mordida tiene el efecto que quiero.
El lobo ofendido retrocede, gimiendo y ladrando a los demás. Un poder estremecedor fluye a través de mí, pero en el momento en que esa pequeña llama se enciende, otro lobo, mucho más grande, toma el lugar de los demás. Los Wolven retroceden mientras la Alfa se cierne sobre mí, gruñendo su desagrado por mi transformación. La pequeña llama de coraje se apaga en el momento en que nuestras miradas se cruzan, sus ojos del mismo azul que los míos, y sé que no podría ganar en una pelea con ella. Incluso si no fuera una tardía en florecer, o solo una mestiza. Ella es la Alfa.
Retrocede. La orden es fría y enojada, la voz en mi mente llena de disgusto y rabia. Tanta rabia. Pero mi mitad Wolven obedece, mis orejas se aplastan a los lados de mi cabeza y el pelaje desaparece tan rápido como había aparecido. Estoy desarmada de nuevo, tendida en la tierra fría ante toda mi Manada, mi cuerpo ensangrentado y frío. La abuela lanza un aullido, una orden a la Manada para que reanuden, y apenas tengo tiempo de levantar los brazos para proteger mi cabeza y cuello antes de que desciendan sobre mí otra vez. Y esta vez, lo siento todo. No hay dolor extra que me proteja de la agonía de cada mordida, ningún nervio insensible para proteger mi mente mientras el dolor de las garras me desgarra. Solo están mis gritos, ininterrumpidos para expresar mi tortura. El único problema es que ahora que me he transformado, por primera vez, mi cuerpo tiene una nueva capacidad de autocuración. Cada mordida, cada diente y uña que atraviesa mi cuerpo resuena en mi sistema, sanando más y más lento cada vez, pero sanando de todas formas. Pero no es lo suficientemente rápido, puedo sentir el dolor acercándose más y más al núcleo de mi ser, mi corazón roto. En cualquier momento. Ya casi termina. Por favor, que termine ya.
De repente, otro sonido me interrumpe, los Wolven a mi alrededor empiezan a irse.
Levántate, cariño. Escucho una voz muy familiar en mis oídos, más fuerte que las burlas y gruñidos, más fuerte incluso que mis propios gritos. Las garras se han ido, la masa de pelaje ha desaparecido y algo suave está en mi cara, el lamido de una lengua.
—¿Mamá? —digo con voz ronca, finalmente capaz de mirar hacia arriba. Ojos azules cristalinos se encuentran con los míos, el lobo que se cierne a mi lado, su pelaje rubio fresa la delata más fácilmente que las vetas plateadas que comienzan en su hocico y se extienden hasta su corona. Ella ha vuelto.
¡Corre, Wisty! La voz de mamá resuena más fuerte y clara en mi cabeza, me empuja de nuevo. ¡Ahora! Ella está gruñendo a los otros Wolven a nuestro alrededor, muchos han vuelto a forma humana y nos están gritando de nuevo, con ira y un poco de miedo en sus ojos. Ella se coloca entre mí y el resto de la Manada, su madre, aún en forma de lobo, paseando a unos pocos metros atrás, pero visiblemente cojeando. La visión de nuestra todopoderosa Alfa temporalmente derrotada reaviva la llama de la rebeldía dentro de mí.
Mi cuerpo se levanta sin mi permiso, la determinación interna de mi lobo disparándose a través de mi cuerpo y tomando el control antes de que pueda detenerlo. La transformación toma menos de un minuto y luego estamos corriendo, disparándonos a través del bosque que encierra el área que una vez llamé hogar. Los aullidos nos siguen, cada vez más lejos hasta que nuestros pies tocan el pavimento y estamos en las afueras de la civilización humana, pero no nos detenemos, ellos no se detienen. Seguimos adelante, cada vez más al sur hasta que la Manada queda muy atrás y mis pulmones están gritando y todo amenaza con apagarse. Pero en el fondo, sé que lo que parece el final de un largo viaje es realmente solo el comienzo.

HIS REJECTED SECOND CHANCE MATE
"What the f*ck, Zara!" Levi bumped into me and growled behind me.
"Sorry," I mumbled, wide-eyed.
"Is that?" Levi mind-linked, and I nodded my head.
"Zara," my father uttered. "I understand that you are familiar with Alpha Noah."
I slowly nodded my head.
"Great," my father said. "Alpha Noah has also informed me that you are his fated mate."
I gave a nod in response.
"Superb, Alpha Noah has requested your hand."
"Is that so?" I found my voice.
Both my father and Alpha Noah nodded.
"Interesting," I said. "Were you told by Alpha Noah that he rejected me more than a year ago?"

The Luna's Vampire Prince
His hand is cool when it brushes a loose curl from my cheek, but I don’t jerk away from him. I have no idea what’s going on. I don’t understand why I’m here. I don’t know what will happen tomorrow. It seems like a lot of powerful people want me—dead or alive. And yet, all I can think about right now is how badly I want this vampire’s hands on my body.
I live in a desolate village on the edge of the Vampire King’s lands. This used to be wolf shifter territory, but now, we are just trying to survive.

The Four Mafia Men and Their Prize
“Kiss back” he mumbles, and I feel rough hands all over my body giving me tight squeezes as a warning not to piss them off further. So I give in. I begin to move my mouth and open my lips slightly. Jason wastes no time devouring every inch of my mouth with his tongue. Our lips doing the tango, his dominance winning the race.
We break away, breathing hard. Next, Ben turns my head to face him and does the same thing. His kiss is definitely softer but just as controlling. I moan into his mouth as we continue to exchange saliva. He tugs my bottom lip slightly in his teeth as he pulls away. Kai pulls my hair, so I am looking up, his large frame towering over me. He bends down and claims my lips. He was rough and forceful. Charlie followed and was a mix. My lips feel swollen, my face feels all hot and flushed, and my legs feel like rubber. For some murdering psychotic assholes, damn can they kiss.
Aurora has always worked hard. She just wants to live her life. By chance, she met four mafia men Jason, Charlie, Ben and Kai. They are the ultimate dominants in the office, on the streets, and definitely in the bedroom. They always get what they want and THEY SHARE EVERYTHING.

Will Aurora finally submit and acknowledge her deepest desires or will her innocence be forever ruined?
Violent Little Thing.
“Angel, you have a filthy fucking mouth”, I whispered low into her ear.
“Luciano…” Finally, an expression on her face. A real one she wasn’t hiding from me. It wasn’t fear though. It was lust. My girl likes this. I pulled her down further so she could feel just how much I was liking it too and the most enchanting gasp came from her mouth while her eyes rolled back for a moment.

Mated To The Cold Hearted Alpha
"You want me to fuck you, I know it"
"As much as you don't like me, you're my mate and you can't deny it."
He stood up behind me, one hand holding my hip, and leaned down, his breath ragged against my neck, his voice was husky,
"You'll listen to your body... what it wants... and my body... what it needs. Only the pleasure that a small bite can bring."
At the age of 15, I was shocked to hear the ruthless Alpha claim that I was his mate.
To make matters worse, he killed my father, who was trying to protect me. At that time, I successfully ran away from him.
However, when I turned 18, I fell into his trap again.
I hated him and wanted revenge, but the moon goddess had a different plan for me.
I was his mate, and we were fated to be together. No matter the circumstances, my body couldn't resist him.
Strings of Fate
Like all children, I was tested for magic when I was only a few days old. Since my specific bloodline is unknown and my magic is unidentifiable, I was marked with a delicate swirling pattern around my upper right arm.
I do have magic, just as the tests showed, but it has never lined up with any known Magic species.
I can't breathe fire like a dragon Shifter, or hex people who piss me off like Witches. I can't make potions like an Alchemist or seduce people like a Succubus. Now I don't mean to be unappreciative of the power I do have, it's interesting and all, but it just really doesn't pack much of a punch and most of the time it is just pretty much useless. My special magical skill is the ability to see threads of fate.
Most of life is annoying enough for me, and what never occurred to me is that my mate is a rude, pompous nuisance. He's an Alpha and my friend's twin brother.
“What are you doing? This is my home, you can't just let yourself in!” I try and keep my voice firm but when he turns and fixes me with his golden eyes I shrink back. The look he gives me is imperious and I automatically drop my eyes to the floor as is my habit. Then I force myself to look back up again. He doesn't notice me looking up because he's already looked away from me. He's being rude, I refuse to show that he's scaring me, even though he most definitely is. He glances around and after realising that the only place to sit is the little table with its two chairs he points to it.
“Sit.” he orders. I glare at him. Who is he to order me around like this? How can someone this obnoxious possibly be my soul mate? Maybe I'm still asleep. I pinch my arm and my eyes water a little from the sting of pain.
