Con misterios surgiendo cada minuto, sin forma de salir, aterrorizada y temblando, ¿qué le pasa ahora a Acacia?
¿Podrá escapar alguna vez?
¿Por qué estaba allí en primer lugar?
Sigue el viaje de Acacia y recorre un espectro de misterios con los ojos vendados que conducen al nacimiento de una raza de revelaciones.
Dawn: The Midnight Light, primer libro de la duología, es un libro gótico y aventurero plagado de misterios, deletreado por el suspenso, lleno de giros y ligado a la ilusión de la realidad.
Chapter 1
Punto de vista de Acacia Dawn Winters
La vida es un laberinto; síguelo como si tu vida dependiera de ello, porque así es.
He escuchado esta cita desde que era niña y siempre me pregunté por qué deberíamos esforzarnos tanto y correr para seguir su curso.
Siempre he sido una persona lenta. Contrario a la cita, siempre intenté llevar una vida a un ritmo lento para poder respirar, vivir y disfrutarla.
Siempre he sido una persona que intentaba enfrentar las cosas que la vida me arrojaba y siempre estaba feliz de superarlas. Nunca corrí para mantener el ritmo de los demás. Nunca intenté resolver un laberinto lo más rápido posible. También lo disfrutaba.
Nunca corrí.
Caminé toda mi vida.
Pero ahora no...
Por primera vez en mi vida, me sentí ansiosa. Me sentí confundida, sin pistas y perdida.
Sentí que necesitaba correr. Y este es el momento en que necesito correr.
Sentí una extraña sensación eléctrica en mis piernas y una picazón por correr lo más lejos posible de aquí. Pero, ¿cómo puedo hacerlo?
No puedo irme de aquí.
Estoy atrapada aquí de por vida, sola.
Miré alrededor del lugar donde estoy actualmente y tropecé al intentar ponerme de pie. ¿Cómo llegué aquí?
¿Dónde están los demás?
¿Dónde están mis amigos?
Miré nuevamente alrededor de la isla en la que estoy parada e intenté averiguar qué me está pasando.
Aquí no hay nada más que árboles y plantas.
¿Cómo llegué aquí?
¿Mis amigos me están gastando una broma?
—¿Ruby? ¿Ruby, dónde estás? Sé que estás tratando de asustarme. Sal de tu escondite —grité en voz alta esperando una gran carcajada como respuesta.
—¿Ruby?
—¿Damien? Da... ¿Damien?
—Chicos, ¿dónde se están escondiendo? Sé que están planeando asustarme.
—Chicos, salgan de su escondite.
—Ch... Chicos. ¡Damien! ¡Carter! ¡Anne! ¡Ruby! —llamé sus nombres.
Empecé a ponerme ansiosa nuevamente y comencé a correr por las orillas de la playa de arena blanca tratando de buscar a alguien. A cualquiera.
Caminé por la orilla durante más de dos horas y no encontré a nadie. Ahora estoy segura de que no es una broma de mis amigos. Si lo fuera, ya lo habrían revelado, pero no veo a nadie aquí.
¿Dónde están los demás?
Sacudí la cabeza para recordar todos los recuerdos del viaje que nuestro grupo de amigos estaba haciendo desde la semana pasada.
Fue idea de Carter hacer un viaje. Él siempre era el que nos empujaba a viajar mientras que Anne y yo éramos los perezosos del grupo. No importa cuánto nos guste viajar, Anne y yo siempre elegiríamos acurrucarnos en casa.
Damien era el neutral de nosotros. Siempre el equilibrado; contrario a su novia, Ruby, que era completamente loca. Un poco extrema y exagerada.
Desde la escuela secundaria hasta el segundo año de universidad, hemos sido un grupo explosivo, incluso estudiando el mismo curso. Arquitectura.
Tomamos un vuelo directo de Londres a Chile para recorrer y, a veces, simplemente perdernos con el viento. Estar interesado en la arquitectura puede hacer eso a una persona. Tus ojos están diseñados para ver el arte en todo.
La Plaza de Armas era hermosa con su estilo barroco. Las estatuas allí eran tan increíbles y tan hermosas que tomamos muchas fotos.
De allí viajamos a la Cueva del Milodón y, por Dios, ¡era impresionante! Era la cueva más hermosa que he visto. Era tan profunda y había una variedad de nuevos tipos de animales que no se encuentran en otros lugares.
Arte en su máxima expresión.
El viaje iba tan bien con visitas planificadas y un enfoque nómada hacia la comida. De la tierra, el aire al mar, íbamos por todos los medios de deleite.
Hasta que...
Hasta que pensamos en ir a la Patagonia para visitar cascadas y glaciares.
Ahí fue cuando comenzó.
Estábamos viajando en un bote hacia la tierra de las cascadas, charlando felices, bromeando, amenazando con arrojarnos al mar cuando algo se sintió mal.
Un momento estaba envuelta en el abrazo de la alegría y al siguiente momento experimenté una extraña sensación en el estómago.
Era una sensación extraña que se sentía... ominosa.
Como una premonición de un mal presentimiento.
Sentí como si... como si mi alma y mi cuerpo se estuvieran desgarrando y estuviera siendo convocada por una fuerza que no podía ver. Mi corazón se sentía como si tuviera una estaca atravesándolo. Doloroso y mortal.
Se me erizó la piel y me quedé rígida mientras la sensación se intensificaba con cada momento que pasaba. Cuatro pares de ojos observaron mi cambio repentino de humor y antes de que pudiera decirles algo al respecto, algo frío me cubrió.
Desde allí, mi memoria es un poco borrosa. Recuerdo vagamente que me estaba desmayando y escuché un fuerte crujido antes de que todo se volviera negro.
Viendo cómo me encontré arrastrada por la orilla de una isla, inconsciente y casi muerta, estaba claro que la sensación ominosa que sentí era correcta.
Nuestro barco naufragó y fui la única que fue arrastrada hasta este lugar. La isla desierta llena de vegetación salvaje.
Oh, querido cielo, mis amigos... ¿sobrevivieron como yo?
No creo que nadie haya flotado hacia esta isla, ya que parece que estoy sola aquí. Pero, ¿cómo?
El supuesto naufragio ocurrió en medio del mar, así que no es posible que haya flotado hasta aquí. Y lo extraño es que mi ropa no está tan mojada.
No es un día soleado como para concluir que tal vez mi ropa y mi cabello se secaron mientras estaba inconsciente. Tampoco es posible. Y me siento bien.
Considerando la experiencia cercana a la muerte, me siento un poco débil pero bien. Lo suficientemente bien como para haber caminado dos horas alrededor de la orilla de la isla.
¿Qué está pasando exactamente aquí?
¿Por qué estoy sola en esta isla?
Las lágrimas rodaron por mis mejillas ante la situación en la que me encuentro. No sé dónde estoy ni cómo llegué aquí. Quiero volver a mi casa, a mi universidad y a mis amigos.
Pero, ¿cómo?
¿Cómo puedo volver desde aquí? Solo hay agua alrededor y no hay ninguna señal de civilización. La tierra en la que estoy parada está sin usar y sin descubrir.
¡No hay rastros de personas ni de botes!
—¡ARGH! —grité asustada al escuchar el fuerte sonido del trueno.
Tropecé hacia atrás por el sonido repentino y caí en la arena blanca, cubriéndome la cara con las manos.
Una serie de truenos golpeó el cielo nublado, haciéndome sentir aún más asustada.
Parece que va a llover y necesito buscar un refugio antes de empaparme por completo y morir de hipotermia.
Miré alrededor de la vasta orilla y el profundo velo de altos árboles alineados a lo largo de los bordes del bosque.
Con otro fuerte relámpago, la fría lluvia comenzó a caer con grandes gotas duras, empapándome por completo en cuestión de segundos.
Temblando y tartamudeando con los dientes castañeteando, me moví inmediatamente hacia el largo árbol frondoso para protegerme de los ataques fríos.
Con cada ráfaga de brisa fría, un escalofrío profundo comenzó a recorrer mi columna vertebral.
Escuché un fuerte grito de un animal desde lo profundo del bosque, haciéndome ahogar en sollozos. Era salvaje y sonaba hambriento.
Peligrosamente depredador, el gruñido fue seguido por otro, esta vez mucho más feroz.
¡Dios mío! ¿Sobreviví a un gran accidente de naufragio solo para ser devorada cruda por un animal?
Estar bajo un árbol durante una tormenta eléctrica es firmar una carta de muerte con una sonrisa, así que para evitar ser alcanzada por un rayo o asada por el fuego, miré alrededor para encontrar algo más seguro donde meter la cabeza, viendo cómo la orilla sin refugio y el refugio de los árboles se están uniendo para matarme de cualquier manera.
Con una serie de maldiciones, me froté los ojos borrosos y caminé alrededor de los árboles gemelos para encontrar algo, una madriguera, una cueva o algo mucho más seguro.
El poco calor en mi cuerpo comenzó a drenarse lentamente. Puedo sentir mis labios agrietados y congelados. Lentamente, comencé a perder el control sobre mi cuerpo y el frío infernal entumeció cada movimiento en mí.
No podía moverme por mi cuenta. Los ojos que antes estaban borrosos por la lluvia comenzaron a perder el enfoque y mi cabeza comenzó a ceder; casi llevándome a otro sueño, pero esta vez, estoy segura de que no despertaría de él.
Agachada y abrazándome a mí misma, mi cabeza se apoyó en el tronco del árbol. Mis sentidos comenzaron a fallar uno tras otro. Pronto, mis oídos no resonaron con los sonidos del viento, las olas y la lluvia. Mi nariz, demasiado fría y entumecida para oler algo, no sentía mi propia piel.
El desfile borroso de mi cerebro continuó nublándome hacia un sueño eterno. Unos segundos más y me iría para siempre y ni siquiera tenía suficiente mente para decir unas últimas palabras para mí misma.
Mis ojos finalmente se cerraron, dando la bienvenida a la calma torturadora que me abrazaba solo para ser rota por algo que sonaba como un nombre.
—Acacia

Hola, queridos,
El primer capítulo del nuevo libro está aquí. ¡Disfruten!
He estado posponiendo escribir este libro durante tres años, ya que representaba un gran desafío para mí y, para ser honesta, tenía miedo.
A diferencia de mis otros libros, este no será humorístico ni ligero. Este libro les volará la mente y los mantendrá al borde. Es una nueva combinación de géneros que estoy probando por primera vez.
Ahora, hablando del capítulo, ¿qué piensan de Acacia?
¿Qué le pasó exactamente?
Estuvo en un accidente de naufragio y ahora está atrapada en una isla rodeada de agua y solo agua.
¿Sintieron cómo la red de misterio comienza a tejerse?
¿Dónde está Acacia y quién la estaba llamando al final?
¿Fue una alucinación que formaba parte de un evento previo a la muerte?
Por favor, denme sus votos y comentarios y denle una oportunidad a mi nuevo libro.
Compartan mis libros con sus amigos.
Con mucho amor,
Lady Prim

Lita's Love for the Alpha
"WHO did that to her?!" Andres asked again, still staring at the girl.
Her injuries were darkening with the passing of each minute.
Her skin even seemed paler in comparison to the deep browns and purples.
"I called the doctor over. You think it's internal bleeding?"
Stace addressed Alex but looked back to Lita, "She was fine, I mean flustered and bruised but fine, ya know. And then boom, she was passing out. Nothing we did would wake her up..."
"WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHO DID THIS TO HER?!"
Cole's eyes shifted deep red, "It's not your fucking concern! Is she YOUR mate now?!"
"See that's what I mean, if she'd had THAT man protecting her, maybe this wouldn't have happened," Stace yelled, tossing her arms into the air.
"Stacey Ramos, you will address your Alpha with his due respect, are we clear?"
Alex growled, icy blue eyes glaring at her.
She nodded quietly.
Andres also lowered his head slightly, showing submission, "Of course she's not my mate Alpha, however..."
"However, what, Delta?!"
"At the moment, you haven't rejected her. That would make her our Luna..."

The Pack: Rule Number 1 - No Mates
"Let me go," I whimper, my body trembling with need. "I don't want you touching me."
I fall forward onto the bed then turn around to stare at him. The dark tattoos of Domonic's chiseled shoulders, quiver and and expand with the heave of his chest. His deep dimpled smile is full of arrogance as he reaches behind himself to lock the door.
Biting his lip, he stalks toward me, his hand going to the seam of his pants and the thickening bulge there.
"Are you sure you don't want me to touch you?" He whispers, untying the knot and slipping a hand inside. "Because I swear to God, that is all I have been wanting to do. Every single day from the moment you stepped in our bar and I smelled your perfect flavor from across the room."
New to the world of shifters, Draven is human on the run. A beautiful girl who no one could protect. Domonic is the cold Alpha of the Red Wolf Pack. A brotherhood of twelve wolves that live by twelve rules. Rules which they vowed could NEVER be broken.
Especially - Rule Number One - No Mates
When Draven meets Domonic, he knows that she is his mate, but Draven has no idea what a mate is, only that she has fallen in love with a shifter. An Alpha that will break her heart to make her leave. Promising herself, she will never forgive him, she disappears.
But she doesn’t know about the child she’s carrying or that the moment she left, Domonic decided rules were made to be broken - and now will he ever find her again? Will she forgive him?
My Dominant Boss
Mr Sutton and I have had nothing but a working relationship. He bosses me around, and I listen. But all of that is about to change. He needs a date for a family wedding and has chosen me as his target. I could and should have said no, but what else can I do when he threatens my job?
It is agreeing to that one favour that changed my entire life. We spent more time together outside of work, which changed our relationship. I see him in a different light, and he sees me in one.
I know it is wrong to get involved with my boss. I try to fight it but fail. It is only sex. What harm could it do? I couldn’t be more wrong because what starts as only sex changes direction in a way I could never imagine.
My boss isn’t only dominant at work but in all aspects of his life. I have heard about the Dom/subs relationship, but it isn’t something I ever thought much about. As things heat up between Mr Sutton and me, I am asked to become his submissive. How does one even become such a thing with no experience or desire to be one? It will be a challenge for him and me because I don’t do well at being told what to do outside of work.
I never expected the one thing I knew nothing about would be the same thing to open up an incredible brand-new world to me.
Four or Dead
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry to tell you this but he didn’t make it.” The doctor says offering me a sympathetic look.
“T-thank you.” I say with a trembling breath.
My father was dead, and the man who killed him was standing right beside me this very minute. Of course, there was no way I could tell anyone this because I would be considered and accomplice for even knowing what happened and doing nothing. I was eighteen and could be looking at prison time if the truth ever got out.
Not long ago I was trying to get through my senior year and getting out of this town for good, but now I have no idea what I will do. I was almost free, and now I would be lucky to make it another day without my life completely falling apart.
“You’re with us, now and forever.” His hot breath said against my ear sending a shiver down my spine.
They had me in their tight grip now and my life depended on them. How things got to this point it's hard to say, but here I was…an orphan…with blood on my hands…literally.
Hell on earth is the only way I can describe the life I have lived.
Having every bit of my soul being stripped away each and every day by not only my father but by four boys called The Dark Angels and their followers.
Tormented for three years is about all I can take and with no one on my side I know what I have to do...I have to get out the only way I know how, Death means peace but things are never that easy, especially when the very guys who led me to ledge are the ones who end up saving my life.
They give me something I never thought would be possible...revenge served dead. They have created a monster and i am ready to burn the world down.

The Lycan King and His Mysterious Luna
The smell of sandalwood and lavender invades my senses, and the smell is getting stronger.

I open my eyes to meet a pair of gorgeous grey eyes staring back into my green/hazel ones.
At the same time the word “Mate” comes out of our mouths,
and he grabs me and kisses me until we must stop for air.
I’ve found my mate already. I can’t believe it.
Wait. How is this possible when I don’t have my wolf yet?

I am Alexander, the Alpha Lycan King, and my mate Freya calls me Alex. After a century’s looking, I finally meet my mate, but I have to wait until she turns 18 or gets her wolf(whichever one comes first) before, I can present myself to her in person. The whole thing is because of something my 10x great-grandfather did that offended the Moon Goddess.

The Alpha King's Human Mate
“I have waited nine years for you. That’s nearly a decade since I’ve felt this emptiness inside me. Part of me began to wonder if you didn’t exist or you’d already died. And then I found you, right inside my own home.”
He used one of his hands to stroke my cheek and tingles erupted everywhere.
“I’ve spent enough time without you and I will not let anything else keep us apart. Not other wolves, not my drunken father who’s barely holding himself together the past twenty years, not your family – and not even you.”

Their Secret Obsession (A Reverse Harem)
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.
