In This Moment By Karen Kingsbury

Everything changed in one night. The night didn’t turn into day; the darkness remained. Then we saw those ravenous Skinwalkers, devouring humans alive. What will happen next? Who are these Skinwalkers? How will we survive? Amid all this chaos, I fell in love with someone who was my companion throughout this journey. But then I discovered a horrifying truth: the person I loved was the creator of this entire nightmare. He was the king of those aliens. Why did he pretend to love me?

In a world gripped by ceaseless power struggles, King Henry emerged as a beacon of change, dedicated to eradicating the senseless violence perpetuated by human greed. His life's mission brought temporary peace to the realm, earning him the title of an angel among men. However, the harmony shattered when his adopted son, William, committed the unthinkable act of murdering the benevolent king. The grieving populace gathered to mourn their fallen leader, and in the midst of sorrow, a promise of severe retribution echoed through the air. Arthur, a loyal companion, sought to liberate William, imprisoned under suspicion of regicide. Yet, the young prince, desperate for answers, confronted William about the shocking incident that unfolded before his eyes.

“I’m no angel, baby girl. I’ll make you cry, curse, and scream every night once you’re mine. So think twice before you sign this goddamn contract.” +++ Rivana Faye thought nothing could get worse than catching her husband and step-sister making out on their wedding anniversary, only to be shot dead the same day. Instead of the afterlife, Rivana woke up back in the past, on her wedding day, staring right into the eyes of the same bastard who had ruined her life. Fueled by vengeance, she planned to marry him and tear his world apart, just as he had done to her in her previous life. That is, until Azrael Dynar, her supposed husband’s older brother, stepped in with a shocking claim: that they were already married?! "Wifey, are you cheating on me with this tiny loser? Tch, you have poor taste," Azrael drawled, flashing their marriage certificate to everyone's horror. Azrael was everything Rivana had heard in hushed whispers: cold, cunning, and irresistibly seductive. But to her, he was oddly caring and fiercely protective. He even vowed to destroy everyone who had hurt her as long as she continued to be his side, as his darling wife! And the deeper Rivana sank into Azrael’s world, the more her defenses crumbled, leaving her with nothing but growing desires for him. Little did she know, the man she was falling for was no guardian angel but a devil—one responsible for her death, and the very one who could destroy her all over again. --- Excerpt: "You seem to have experience in seducing women, Mr. Dynar," Rivana joked, licking her ice cream. Azrael smirked at her laugh, and the next moment, he pulled her chair closer, causing Rivana's heart to skip a beat. Before she could catch her breath, he suddenly captured her lips, tasting the sweet chocolate on her lips. Pulling back slightly, Azrael smiled, enjoying her reaction. Tracing her lower lip with his thumb, he declared, "You are the first woman I have ever tried to seduce, Rain. And you will also be the last."
