The year my love for Andrews Moretti nearly shattered our world, he took three bullets for me. One grazed his brow, one shattered his knee, and one lodged deep in his lower back. Everyone said he loved me more than life itself. Then a dancer named Scarlett appeared on my doorstep, a pregnancy test in her hand. "You're Yolia Falcone, right?" She slapped me across the face with a stack of photos of them in bed. "Andrews's been done with you for a while now. If you have any sense, you'll get lost." In the photos, the way Andrews looked at her was achingly tender. I watched the snow fall thicker outside the window and slowly raised my hand. The dancer's screams were swallowed by the wind, her threats twisting into nothing. "Andrews won't let you get away with this!" And now, I watched coolly as Andrews sat across from me, having surrounded my home to make me pay. "Sign it." "You disgust me."

As the Silvermoon Pack's Luna and strongest healer, I had just finished leading my daughter's birth blessing ceremony when I was urgently called away. The Alliance requested I perform a life force transfer ritual for the heir of an allied pack. As I drew out the faint life core during the ritual, a strange pang of heartache shot through me. Still, I drew upon my formidable power and brought the ritual to a successful close. Afterward, exhausted, I passed by the private study of my Alpha, Alistair. That's when I overheard his conversation with his Beta. “For Rosalie's pup, I had to do it. Killing Lyra with a silver-gilded dagger and framing a Rogue is the cleanest way.” “Rosalie couldn't become my mate, but she bore me an heir. I can't fail her. It’s an honor for Lyra to offer her life force for her brother.” I froze. The life core I had just personally transferred... belonged to my daughter, Lyra?
Book by Colleen Hoover Before It Ends with Us, it started with Atlas. Colleen Hoover tells fan favorite Atlas’s side of the story and shares what comes next in this long-anticipated sequel to the “glorious and touching” (USA TODAY) #1 New York Times bestseller It Ends with Us. Lily and her ex-husband, Ryle, have just settled into a civil coparenting rhythm when she suddenly bumps into her first love, Atlas, again. After nearly two years separated, she is elated that for once, time is on their side, and she immediately says yes when Atlas asks her on a date. But her excitement is quickly hampered by the knowledge that, though they are no longer married, Ryle is still very much a part of her life—and Atlas Corrigan is the one man he will hate being in his ex-wife and daughter’s life. Switching between the perspectives of Lily and Atlas, It Starts with Us picks up right where the epilogue for the “gripping, pulse-pounding” (Sarah Pekkanen, author of Perfect Neighbors) bestselling phenomenon It Ends with Us left off. Revealing more about Atlas’s past and following Lily as she embraces a second chance at true love while navigating a jealous ex-husband, it proves that “no one delivers an emotional read like Colleen Hoover” (Anna Todd, New York Times bestselling author).

On the night of the full moon, my fated mate, Alpha Altair of the Trey Pack, was presiding over the ritual at the altar. As the Gamma of the Trey Pack, my duty was to patrol the perimeter, ensuring the ritual proceeded without a hitch. But as I patrolled near the Silent Abyss, I was stabbed from behind with a silver-dipped dagger and shoved into the Silent Abyss. As darkness claimed me, their voices filtered through the haze: "Alpha, she is your fated mate!" "If her uterus is forcibly removed, severing the mate bond will tear your very soul apart!" the healer cried, his voice laced with terror. "Silence! I am your Alpha. Don't you forget it!" "Only when Heidi is barren will my pup with Leia be the sole heir." "Inject her with a large dose of wolfsbane extract." "I don't want her conscious for my bonding ceremony with Leia." Through my barely open eyelids, I watched the wolf I had once loved with all my heart. The look on his face was more monstrous than any beast I'd ever fought.

An older, familiar voice answered, filled with relief: "Future Alpha, the Moon Goddess will crown you in the end."
