Created with Vellum alpha betrayed Lost Moon University Book One By Bella Jacobs about the book FORD: Justice. Revenge. The pain, blood, and tears of the stepsister who sold me into slavery and stole the Alpha Throne that was rightfully mine. For years, these were the only things that kept me sane. And then I escape the Blood Pit Fight syndicate and track down the woman I’ve lived to destroy only to find she’s been a captive, too, and everything I was told was a lie… JULIET: I’ve just been saved from the Circus of the Strange by the stepbrother who sold me into slavery in the first place. Ford swears he didn’t betray me and that the only way to reclaim what we’ve lost is to seek refuge at a top-secret university for rejected shifters. There, he says, we’ll grow strong, plan our revenge, and prepare to destroy my father. But is Ford the hero in this story or the villain? And what’s my stepbrother going to do when he realizes I would rather die a virgin than be his good little wolf? Alpha Betrayed is the first in a scorching hot dark romance series and is not for the faint of heart. It ends in a cliffhanger. praise for bella jacobs I could not put this one down.

Juliet Sneak Peek of Wolf King About the Author Also by Bella Jacobs prologue Ford I stand at the edge of the arena, just outside the glare of the lights, my fists clenched and my heart racing. This is it. My one shot. If I fuck this up, I might not get another one. In two years of blood, pain, and torture, this is the only fight venue that’s ever been open to the elements. We usually battle underground, in basements and abandoned parking garages with concrete and earth above us to muffle the screams. The screams of the crowd, mostly. Men fighting to the death don’t make as much noise as you might think. Just grunts, groans, the occasional wail of agony, and more cries for their mothers than I imagined possible before I was sold into this dark world. As my name is called over the loudspeaker and the crowd cheers in anticipation of the final battle of the night, I think of my own mother. As much as it hurt to lose her, I’m glad she’s dead. I’m glad she’ll never see what I’ve become or know how many men I had to slaughter to fight my way back to the throne at the edge of the sea. My throne. It will be mine, no matter what I have to do to wrench it from that bitch’s soft, privileged hands. She’ll have a small army guarding her, no doubt, but that’s the one good thing about being forced to rip other men apart in the ring for years. My body is a weapon, a loaded gun with one target—Princess Juliet Lilliana Zion. I will destroy her and take back everything she’s stolen. But first, I’ll make her suffer. I’ll strip away her humanity until she’s nothing but an animal in a cage. I’ll teach her what it’s like to beg for food and shelter and relief from the pain, and then I’ll show her how it feels to know no one is coming to save you. The only way out is to save yourself. But Juliet doesn’t have what it takes to survive something like this. She’ll die in captivity, and I’ll hold a party to celebrate the death of the woman who put me through hell. This is hell. No doubt in my mind. As I stride
