Ergebnis für "alpha" in Zeitgenössische Fantasy

Ich, das einfache Hooters Girl, bin mit zwei scharfen Kerlen unterwegs, die sich in riesige Wölfe – oder Canicore, wie sie sich nennen – verwandeln können. Sitze mit ihnen in einem Auto und fahre Richtung Manhattan zu ihrem luxuriösen Penthaus, wo noch vier weitere solche Typen wohnen. Entweder bin ich gerade auf einem Trip, der mich in ein heißes Paralleluniversum befördert hat, oder aber das hier ist der Start in ein äußerst aufregendes Leben.

Je näher ich Adrian kennenlerne, desto mehr Fragezeichen eröffnen sich mir. Ja, er respektiert meinen Wunsch nach Freiheit – und trotzdem fühle ich mich ein bisschen wie in einem Käfig. Zudem werde ich auf eine Art und Weise zu ihm hingezogen, die mir Gänsehaut beschert. Und da ist etwas in seinen dunklen Augen … ein Schmerz aus der Vergangenheit, der ihn immer wieder einzuholen scheint. Ob ich es bin, die ihm diesen nehmen kann?

I was just a normal guy making his way in the big city—until I found myself transported to another world to train at the Alpha Warlock Academy. Not only do they want me among their ranks, but they want me to train among the most powerful of warlocks at the Academy. I've got a lot on my plate: cramming spells, training for combat, and trying not to get myself killed during my initial challenges. Fortunately, I've also got plenty of friends to help me out, including my hobgoblin neighbor and the smooth-talking genie across the hall.

Mein Aufenthalt in Adrians Penthaus mit seinem Wolfs-Rudel ist vor allem eines: nervenaufreibend. Einerseits fühle ich mich wie Pretty Woman, werde auf Händen getragen und von gleich mehreren Typen verehrt – andererseits merke ich, dass mir die Zeit im Nacken steht sowie ein Canicoren-Alpha, der mich eben dort beißen und markieren möchte. Sofern ich mich denn für ihn als meinen Alpha entscheiden werde. Denn ich bin es, die hier die Regeln aufstellt, nicht Adrian.

Tja, da bin ich nun, in einem luxuriösen Penthouse und lerne nach und nach Adrians Rudel kennen. Fünf Betas, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten – und die mein Interesse zugegebenermaßen jeder auf seine eigene Weise wecken. Doch erst gilt es noch, mich mit Adrian irgendwie zu arrangieren. Der Alpha ist zwar bemüht, sich um mich zu kümmern, aber so richtig wohl fühle ich mich trotzdem nicht in seiner Gegenwart.

Er hat mich furchtbar schikaniert und mir verbotenerweise ein kleines, geheimes Mädchen geschenkt. Jetzt ist er wieder da, in unserer kleinen Stadt, und mein Rudel zwingt mich, mit ihm zu verhandeln.

This leaves him shot and wounded, but he's happy to pay the price. Charles is strongly drawn to Anna, and her growing 'Omega' powers will see his people through dangerous times.

But when a rogue werewolf starts murdering hikers, Charles and Anna are sent into the winter forests to investigate.

Anna Latham didn't know how complicated life could get - until she became a werewolf. Now she's not just part of any pack, but under the direct supervision of Bran, leader of the North American werewolves. And her mate is his son, Charles, the pack enforcer. With all the advances that have been made in forensics, the werewolves will not be able to hide their existence from humans much longer - and Bran wants their coming-out party to be on his terms. But his European counterparts don't see things the same way.

They say opposites attract, and for werewolves Anna and Charles, this is certainly true. Charles, the pack enforcer, is a dominant alpha - whereas Anna has the power to calm others of her kind. Now that werewolves have dared to reveal themselves to humans, it's their job to keep the pack in line. The pressure mounts when the FBI requires Charles's assistance. He's sent on a mission to Boston with Anna, and they quickly realise that a serial killer is targeting werewolves. And that they're next on the killer's list.
