Introduction

Alora Dennison è una bambina orfana di una stirpe disonorata, che sopravvive nel vecchio branco della sua famiglia. All'alba della sua transizione verso l'età adulta, in un inaspettato colpo di fortuna, si lega al compagno con cui sarà unita per l'eternità. Solo che lui non è l'uomo dei suoi sogni. È l'unico in tutto lo stato con cui non avrebbe mai voluto legarsi. Colton Santo è l'arrogante e dominante figlio dell'Alfa di un branco rivale, destinato a unire i branchi e regnare in un unico regno. Negli anni passati, il suo disprezzo per lei e per chiunque della sua stirpe è stato evidente. Il trattamento riservatole dal suo branco l'ha spinta a vivere quasi in isolamento, temendo per la sua esistenza. E ora, all'alba del suo risveglio, davanti a tutti i presenti, vedono che si lega al loro futuro leader. Il destino lo ha decretato, ma tutti intorno a lei stanno per cercare di fermarlo. Il destino non ha intenzione di renderle le cose facili, poiché una guerra dimenticata da tempo esplode nelle loro terre, riportando in primo piano un antico nemico assetato di sangue nella vita dei Licantropi. Sopravviverà abbastanza a lungo da scoprire perché ha portato un marchio nero sulla sua stirpe per tutta la vita? E perché il padre di Colton è così ansioso di vederla morta? Colton onorerà il legame, o sarà lui a infliggere il colpo finale?

Chapter 1

Conoscete quelle storie sui rifiuti indesiderati i cui cari sono morti o li hanno abbandonati a vagare senza meta per il mondo? Un nessuno senza valore, quasi invisibile agli altri. Non c'è niente di spettacolare in loro, nessuna grande ascesa dal nulla a qualcosa quando raggiungono l'età adulta.

Sì, beh, questa è un po' la mia storia.

Mi chiamo Alora Dennison e mancano letteralmente poche ore alla mia Cerimonia del Risveglio, alla veneranda età di diciotto anni, senza assolutamente nessuno che si preoccupi di me per essere lì; nessun supporto, nessuna famiglia e sicuramente nessun amico. Sono una tarda fioritura, immagino. Non che sia insolito nella mia linea di sangue, dato che quasi tutte le femmine della mia famiglia non sono 'uscite' fino a quando non hanno raggiunto la tarda adolescenza, per quanto posso ricordare. Proprio come gli altri nell'orfanotrofio, bloccati qui con me. Un altro motivo per cui siamo snobbati e lasciati a noi stessi in questo inferno che chiamano casa.

La mia cerimonia mi agita dentro e mi fa camminare nervosamente nella stanza che condivido con Vanka. Lei è come me, anche se in tutti gli anni in cui abbiamo dormito insieme, non posso dire che siamo mai diventate amiche in alcun modo. Lei fa chiaramente capire che non le piaccio e, come tutti intorno a me, tutti mantengono le distanze. Ci tolleriamo a vicenda, ma nessuno di noi ha mai legato.

Sono un'orfana i cui genitori sono morti nella guerra contro i vampiri dieci anni fa. Anche lei è nella stessa situazione, ma questo non l'ha resa più affettuosa nei miei confronti. Immagino perché lei provenga da un ramo del branco Santo, e loro odiano il branco Whyte da molto prima della guerra. Eravamo in faida prima che i vampiri ci unissero tutti, e vecchie cicatrici e rancori non sono qualcosa che i lupi lasciano andare facilmente.

Eravamo due piccole ragazze lasciate senza tutori di sangue immediati, messe in questo posto per cuccioli indesiderati a vivere i nostri giorni in modi non eccezionali. Sarebbe stato più gentile porre fine alla nostra miseria allora piuttosto che lasciarci vivere come emarginati tra la nostra gente, i nostri simili. Snobbati perché siamo la prova vergognosa che i loro branchi li hanno delusi. Non credo sapessero cos'altro fare con noi. Così tanti giovani senza nessuno che si prenda cura di loro e li cresca secondo le nostre usanze, e visti come maledetti. Si vergognavano del fallimento delle nostre famiglie, e noi siamo quelli che portano quel fardello come un marchio nero eterno dipinto sui nostri volti.

Sono stupita che ragazzi come noi possano persino partecipare alla cerimonia. Voglio dire, è una cosa piuttosto importante, e noi non lo siamo. Siamo un po' come i ragazzi perduti nell'Isola che non c'è, tranne che ... nessuno di noi vuole restare qui, e crescere è l'unico modo per uscirne.

Il tuo Risveglio è un po' come una laurea, in un certo senso. Un passaggio da bambino ad adulto e di solito dove troveresti il tuo posto, il tuo rango, nel branco, e otterresti un compagno. Non ho illusioni che significhi qualcosa del genere per nessuno di noi che si trasforma stasera. Ci sono quattro di noi dalla casa degli indesiderati, e sento che forse tre dai branchi intorno. Solo una manciata di ragazzi che cercano di liberarsi, trovare la loro strada, e tutto nella favolosa presenza dell'intero 'Brancomondo'.

Il Packdom comprende la dozzina circa di tribù di lupi dello stato. Tutti devono riunirsi a Shadow Rock per vederti trasformare completamente per la prima volta sotto la prima luna piena del mese di nascita. Non è difficile capire quando sei pronto. Nelle settimane che precedono il tuo compleanno, inizi a cambiare in piccoli modi, e, dannazione, fa male come se ti spezzassero e stirassero le viscere in spasmi di dolore severo e senza alcun controllo su ciò che sta accadendo.

I segni sono abbastanza chiari per tutti. Un po' come la pubertà per i lupi mannari, immagino. Maturazione, miglioramenti fisici e un aumento massiccio dell'appetito e dell'aggressività. Piccoli momenti in cui inizi a trasformarti dolorosamente, e poi svanisce altrettanto rapidamente, quindi non raggiungi mai veramente la prima trasformazione, ma viene segnalato, e nessuno può nasconderlo. Il dolore che sai arriverà la prima volta; è riservato per la luna piena dopo il tuo compleanno.

Alcuni non lo attraversano fino a più tardi nella vita, e alcuni prima. Di solito, è un segno di dove ti trovi nella gerarchia quando ti trasformi. Secondo gli anziani dei Santo, più tempo ci vuole, più debole è il tuo DNA, ma i miei genitori non ne hanno mai parlato quando ero piccolo. Quindi, avere diciotto anni mi mette molto in basso nella scala gerarchica e conferma che la mia linea di sangue non era quella di guerrieri o abbastanza forte da essere qualcosa di importante. Vanka ha sedici anni, e anche lei si trasforma stasera, ma con il sangue dei Santo da qualche parte nelle sue vene, avrebbe dovuto trasformarsi molto prima. Immagino che qualsiasi miscuglio ci sia in lei sia il motivo per cui la rifiutano come una delle loro.

Voglio dire, guarda i Santo. Sono il branco dominante nello stato, e tutti nella loro linea di sangue si sono trasformati prima dei dieci anni. Colton, il prossimo erede come Alfa, ha diciannove anni, domina su tutti nel nostro regno, e corre con il branco da quando aveva solo otto anni.

Ogni singolo membro della sua famiglia è tornato dalle guerre, il che dice molto sulla purezza dei loro geni, forza e abilità in battaglia. È destinato a prendere il posto di suo padre come Alfa un giorno, e per come stanno andando le cose, non sarà solo l'Alfa del branco dei Santo, ma di tutti noi. Qualcosa che non è mai successo nella nostra vita, ma che inaugurerà una nuova alba nel modo in cui vivono i branchi.

Santo non è un bravo ragazzo. Nessuno di loro lo è. Cammina circondato dal suo sottobranco, guarda dall'alto in basso quelli come noi e non fa mai contatto visivo o risponde a chi è al di sotto del suo rango. È così che funziona qui. Dominanza e forza sono tutto per i lupi. Ha l'arroganza di suo padre, e sa che ogni femmina che entra nella pubertà desidera diventare la sua compagna. Non si è ancora ufficialmente accoppiato o segnato, e nonostante abbia sempre la stessa ragazza al suo fianco, è libero fino a quando non lo farà.

Impeccabilmente bello in quel modo da ragazzo latino scuro e troppo attraente. È alto più di sei piedi di muscoli e irradia aggressività senza sforzo, ed è un raro lupo dal pelo nero al momento della trasformazione, uno dei più grandi tra noi. Penso che l'unica volta in cui ha riconosciuto la mia esistenza sia stato il giorno in cui mi ha spinto fuori dal suo cammino mentre passava. Sono inciampato davanti a lui nel corridoio che porta alla grande sala, e non ha battuto ciglio né ha fatto una piega nel spingermi indietro aggressivamente come se fossi un leggero pezzo di spazzatura. Tutte le ragazze hanno riso di me quando sono atterrato sul sedere e sono scivolato nel cestino della spazzatura, e mi sono assicurato di non intralciarlo mai più.

After One Night with the Alpha

One Night. One Mistake. One Lifetime of Consequences.

I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.

My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.

But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.

In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.

"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.

"Who the fuck is Jason?"

My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.

I ran away for my life!

But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!

They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.

Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”

There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

From first crush to wedding vows, George Capulet and I had been inseparable. But in our seventh year of marriage, he began an affair with his secretary.

On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.

George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.

His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"

Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.

When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"

George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"

"I'm afraid that's impossible."

Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."

I paused at the ajar conference room door, attempting to balance the tray of coffees. Creedon was my new boss, now also my boyfriend. I listened at the door.

“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.

“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*

“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”

Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.

“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”

**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.

I can't breathe. Every touch, every kiss from Tristan set my body on fire, drowning me in a sensation I shouldn't have wanted—especially not that night.
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.

He kills without mercy. She loves without reason. And nothing will stop her from having him.

For three years, Mafia leader Conner O’Neill has felt eyes on him. A phantom touch in the night. Perfume lingering on his pillows. Warm cookies in his oven. Enemies' heads delivered to his doorstep, gift-wrapped in bloodied silk. It isn’t fear that coils in his gut—it’s fascination. Someone is watching him. Someone who knows him. Someone who kills for him.

Her name is Sage—and she’s been his shadow since the night he unknowingly stole her heart with a bullet to another man’s brain. For her, it was love at first sight. Violent. Beautiful. Inevitable. Raised in darkness, owned by a monster, Sage was never meant to love. But Conner changed that. And she’s been his ever since, waiting for the day she can step out of the shadows and into his arms.

But the man who owns her doesn’t let go of his toys. And the man she loves doesn’t know she exists—yet.

She’s done watching. It’s time he learns the truth.

He belongs to her. And she’ll kill anyone who tries to take him away.
