Freya has spent her life as an outcast—beaten, humiliated, and branded a disappointment. A servant in the house of the man who once called himself her father. But on the night of her eighteenth birthday, everything changes. She awakens to a truth more dangerous than the chains that bound her. She is not just a disgraced wolf. She is something more—something both feared and hunted. Prince Dorian, ruthless heir to the throne, knows what she is. She is his mate. The one fate has bound to him in ways he never wanted. But to him, she is also a weapon—a pawn in the bloody war against the hunters. He takes her, claims her, and keeps her not out of love, but control. "You think I won’t reject you?" Dorian’s voice is low, edged with cruel amusement as he presses her against the cold stone wall of his chamber. His grip is iron, his breath a promise of ruin. "I will. The moment you become useless to me." But there is another. Tiberius, the legendary hunter with emerald eyes that see too much and a touch that burns her differently, has searched for her his entire life. He was raised to despise wolves, to slaughter them without hesitation. Yet when he looks at Freya, he does not see an enemy. He sees his mate. "They told me I would find you," Tiberius murmurs, his fingers brushing over the bruises Dorian left on her wrists. His gaze is both tender and deadly. Caught between two kings, two destinies, and two deadly temptations, Freya must decide who she truly is. A key to destruction, or a bridge to salvation? But what happens when the wolf prince refuses to let her go… and the hunter king refuses to let her fall? A brutal prince. A vengeful hunter. A woman bound by fate. One will break her. One will save her. Or will she choose to save herself?

[Warnung: Reifer Inhalt R-18] Ist der Tod das Ende oder ein neuer Anfang? Ich weiß es nicht. Aber für unseren Protagonisten war es das Letztere. Max, eine zwanzigjährige Jungfrau, wurde im Wald von einem Bären angegriffen und starb einen eher unfreiwilligen und vorzeitigen Tod. Zum Glück für ihn... war das nicht das Ende seiner Geschichte. Er wachte auf und fand sich transmigriert in einer Welt voller Magie, Wunder und... schöner Frauen wieder. Gott schien mit ihm zufrieden zu sein, denn in dieser Welt war er nicht nur der jüngste Sohn eines Adligen, sondern er erhielt auch ein System - das Lustsystem -, mit dem er der stärkste Magier werden und Höhen erreichen konnte, die noch nie jemand erreicht hatte. Alles schien erstaunlich, aber war es wahr oder nur eine Illusion? Begleite die aufregende Reise von Maxwell Garfield in dieser wunderbaren Welt, um an die Spitze aufzusteigen. ______________________________ [Dinge, die beachtet werden sollten] 1. Vom Titel her hättest du es schon ahnen müssen, aber ich kann dir sagen, dass die Geschichte mit vielen sexuellen Abenteuern gefüllt sein wird. Also... du bist herzlich eingeladen, sie zu genießen..... 2. Allerdings... erwarte nicht, dass MC mit jeder Frau, die er trifft, eine sexuelle Beziehung hat. Ich werde mich auf die Geschichte konzentrieren und 'versuchen', nicht blindlings mit Sexszenen nach links und rechts zu werfen. 3. Am wichtigsten ist, dass ich zum ersten Mal schreibe, so dass die Qualität der ersten 50 oder so kann ein wenig fehlen (Aber es wäre kein Problem für Sie, wenn ein paar kleine Fehler nicht stören Sie). 4. Es ist eine langsame Geschichte. Wenn ihr alles explosiv und schnell haben wollt, ist das vielleicht nichts für euch. Wichtiger Hinweis: Wenn euch die Geschichte gefällt, dann vergesst nicht eure GTs und Kraftsteine zu voten und wenn ihr könnt, auch ein paar GIFTS zu schicken. Diese arme Seele würde es zu schätzen wissen. Schaut euch auch meine anderen Werke an: [ Rise of the Strongest War God ] & [ My perverted devil system ] Viel Spaß beim Lesen~ ________________
