Alice Kirks

"Are you not kidding?" Travis asked, his deep voice laced with disbelief. "You want to get married... today?" Alice's eyes sparkled with mischief as she nodded enthusiastically. But little did Travis know, Alice's intentions were far from innocent. She had been reborn, given a second chance at life after a brutal murder at the hands of her stepsister, Octavia, and her former lover, Grant. With her memories intact, Alice was determined to exact revenge on those who had wronged her. And Travis, the brooding and handsome millionaire, was just the pawn she needed in her game of revenge. As Alice and Travis navigate their whirlwind engagement, secrets and lies begin to unravel. Octavia and Grant are still lurking in the shadows, waiting for their next victim. But Alice is no longer the naive and timid girl she once was. She's been reborn, and she's ready to take back control.

Having spent her childhood confined in chains, Alice was a child who knew neither love nor joy. Scorned by her family while being tortured in the name of the greater good for years, she grew numb to all feeling and thought. That is, until one day, a man in black offered her a chance to escape. There were once rumours widespread of an endless hell, a land of glorious death and dreadful opportunity. Fools went in search of it, and the clever never ventured into it. Only when its baleful mysteries spilled unto the earth did all hear its name — the Abyss. A single drop of its blood could give someone the power to control shadows, move faster than sound, or strength greater than the strongest man. Yet, it all came at a cost; the blood would always make sure those who consumed it became part of the Abyss, with one exception — Alice. Cast away by her own blood, it was her destiny to rot in a gilded cage. But, that fateful day changed everything. Gifted a second chance at life, a chance to turn her life around and claim vengeance against her family, a chance to dive deep into the Abyss and gain the power to govern her own fate, Alice took his hand, unaware of the destiny unfolding before her.

Habiendo pasado su infancia confinada en cadenas, Alice era una niña que no conocía ni el amor ni la alegría. Despreciada por su familia mientras era torturada en nombre del bien mayor durante años, se volvió insensible a todo sentimiento y pensamiento. Eso fue, hasta que un día, un hombre de negro le ofreció una oportunidad de escapar. Hubo una vez rumores extendidos de un infierno interminable, una tierra de muerte gloriosa y oportunidad terrible. Los tontos lo buscaban, y los inteligentes nunca se aventuraban en él. Solo cuando sus ominosos misterios se derramaron sobre la tierra todos oyeron su nombre —el Abismo. Una sola gota de su sangre podía dar a alguien el poder de controlar las sombras, moverse más rápido que el sonido, o tener una fuerza superior a la del hombre más fuerte.

Rechazada por su propia sangre, estaba destinada a pudrirse en una jaula dorada. Pero, ese día fatídico cambió todo. Dotada de una segunda oportunidad en la vida, una oportunidad para cambiar su vida y reclamar venganza contra su familia, una oportunidad de sumergirse profundamente en el Abismo y obtener el poder para gobernar su propio destino, Alice tomó su mano, sin ser consciente del destino que se desplegaba ante ella.

"Auf das Bett." Mein neuer Herr, der Alpha von Drogomor, befahl. Ich ging auf das Bett zu, nackt, beschämt und voller Tränen.

Growing up in a house filled with fear, violence, and endless screaming, Josh and his mother, Mary, lived as prisoners to a man who thrived on their suffering. Then one day, everything changed.
