Warnung: Dieses Buch enthält eine große Anzahl sehr heißer Szenen für Erwachsene!(18+ NUR) *BITTE NICHT LESEN, WENN DU EMPFINDLICH AUF INTENSIVE INTIME SZENEN REAGIERST* "Sag, dass du uns gehörst." Nicholas' Hand schloss sich fester um meinen Hals ... nicht würgend, nur haltend, um mich daran zu erinnern, wem jeder meiner Atemzüge gehörte. Seine silbernen Augen brannten sich unerbittlich und fordernd in meine. "Sag es, Lilith." "Ich gehöre euch", flüsterte ich, und die Worte schmeckten zugleich nach Hingabe und Erlösung. "Lauter." Sebastians Stimme war dunkle Seide hinter mir, sein massiger Körper an meinen Rücken gepresst, seine Hände hinterließen Abdrücke auf meinen Hüften. "Wir wollen dich schreien hören." Bevor ich antworten konnte, stieß Lucian von hinten in mich und füllte mich so vollständig aus, dass ich Sterne sah. Die Dehnung, die Fülle, das überwältigende Gefühl, in Besitz genommen zu werden ... es raubte mir jeden Gedanken. "Ich bin ...", versuchte ich zu sprechen, aber dann hob Nicholas mein Bein an, brachte sich in Position, und plötzlich drang er von vorne in mich ein, und ich wurde von beiden gleichzeitig genommen. Zu viel. Zu ausgefüllt. Zu intensiv. "Atme", befahl Nicholas an meinen Lippen, aber Atmen war unmöglich, als sie sich beide bewegten und einen Rhythmus fanden, der mich heftig zwischen ihnen zittern ließ. "Ich gehöre euch!" Das Geständnis riss endlich aus meiner Kehle, als Lucians Mund die empfindliche Stelle an meinem Hals fand, seine Zähne darüber schabten und drohten, mich dauerhaft zu zeichnen. "Ich gehöre euch, ich gehöre euch, ich gehöre euch ..." "Braves Mädchen", knurrten alle drei unisono. "Jetzt beweis es." Lilith Thorne geht unter. Ihr Vater ... der Beta des Schattenmoor-Rudels ... wurde vor sechs Monaten ermordet. Ihre Mutter hat eine Überdosis Eisenhut genommen und liegt im Koma. Ihr Freund hat seinen wahren Gefährten gefunden und sie wie Müll weggeworfen. Und sie ist wolfslos ... eine Ausgestoßene in der Wolfsgesellschaft, unfähig sich zu wandeln, wertlos und unsichtbar. Angesichts der drohenden Zwangsräumung und der erdrückenden Krankenhausrechnungen trifft Lilith eine verzweifelte Entscheidung: Sie nimmt am Ritus teil, einem uralten Ritual, bei dem unverpaarte Alphas für eine Nacht Frauen gegen Gold beanspruchen können. Aber sie wird nicht mit irgendwelchen Alphas gepaart. Sie wird von Lucian, Nicholas und Sebastian Blackwood auserwählt ... den Verfluchten Alpha-Königen. Drillinge, die von der Mondgöttin verflucht wurden, ihren wahren Gefährten zu finden, bevor sie 26 werden, oder sich für immer an ihre Wölfe zu verlieren. Ihnen bleiben noch drei Monate. Was als eine Transaktion beginnt, wird zu einer Obsession. In dem Moment, in dem sie sie berühren, legt sich ihr Fluch. Ihre Wölfe erkennen etwas in ihr. Und sie können sie nicht gehen lassen. Aber Lilith ist nicht die, die sie zu sein scheint. Sie ist die letzte Tochter der mächtigsten Hexenblutlinie, die es gibt, ihre Magie wurde seit ihrer Geburt unterdrückt. Und wenn diese Magie erwacht, wird es alles verändern. Als sie endlich die Wahrheit erfährt ... dass das Brechen ihres Fluchs bedeutet, ihn auf sich zu nehmen ... trifft Lilith eine Entscheidung, die alles verändern wird. Sie opfert sich, um sie zu retten, und stirbt in ihren Armen, während sie ihren Namen schreien. Aber der Tod ist nicht das Ende. Er ist erst der Anfang. Und wenn sie aus der Asche aufersteht, vom Tod gezeichnet und mit Kräften, die sie sich nie hätte vorstellen können, wird sie nicht mehr das gebrochene Mädchen sein, das in den Ritus gegangen ist. Sie wird etwas weitaus Gefährlicheres sein. Ihre Gefährtin. Ihre Königin. Ihre Erlösung. Oder ihre Zerstörung. Teil 1: DIE INBESITZNAHME Wie tief würdest du für drei Könige fallen, die dich wie eine Religion verehren und dich wie eine Eroberung beanspruchen? Teil 2: DIE AUFERSTEHUNG Wie dunkel würdest du werden, um zurückzuerobern, was der Tod dir gestohlen hat? Das Paarungsritual ist eine dunkle paranormale Romanze mit besitzergreifenden Alphas, intensivem sexuellen Inhalt, einer starken, aber gebrochenen Heldin, die ihre Macht entdeckt, gefundener Familie, schicksalhaften Gefährten und einer Liebe, die so verzehrend ist, dass sie den Tod selbst überwindet.

[My WSA 2024 Entry novel! Please vote] In a world where mythical beings have fallen into an "eternal slumber," a thriving underground market exploits the stolen essence of these dormant creatures. At its epicenter are dragons—majestic beings desired for their scales, organs, and prized eggs. The most coveted treasure of all is a dragon's name, a key that holds the power to control its very existence. Dragon Lord, guardian of a clutch of dormant eggs, lives in isolation atop a hill, surrounded by a forest that veils his castle. He bears the scars of past betrayals, having been deceived by those who feigned love to steal his treasures or claim his head as a bounty. Jaded and cold, he trusts no one, living a solitary existence. However, his solitude is shattered when a woman unwittingly stumbles into his life. Yara finds herself in Dragon Lord's treasured den amidst a battle between the dragon and thieves. In a twist of fate, she mistakenly bonds with the dormant eggs, breathing life into them. Reluctantly, Dragon Lord allows Yara into his world, and their journey unfolds amid the looming threat of underground organizations seeking to exploit the dragons for profit. As the eggs come to life, so does an unexpected connection between Dragon Lord and Yara. Despite his cold and jaded exterior, he finds himself unable to ignore her presence. Yara, too, cannot deny the pull she feels towards him, and emotions begin to burn beneath the surface. Together, they must navigate the challenges of waiting for the eggs to hatch, fend off those who seek to exploit the dragon and its offspring, and confront the secrets that Yara harbors—a revelation that could destroy everything. In this tale of flames and gold, two scarred souls in a world where trust is a rare and precious commodity must confront the ghosts of their pasts. They navigate the dangerous currents of love and deception, protecting unborn dragons from a world hungry for their magic. Will their bond withstand the trials ahead, or will the flames of betrayal engulf them in the end? A/N: It starts out SLOW, because I tend to get lost in the pages and be descriptive but once it gets to the action, it really picks up! Looking forward to growing with you all on this journey!!!
