Lia's Ink の小説

Four years ago, I watched Alpha Adrian slaughter my parents and destroy the Nightfall Pack. Everyone I loved turned to ash and blood that night—everyone except Asher, my best friend who pulled me from the flames. Now I'm infiltrating his pack as a slave vengeance in my heart. I've waited four years for this moment. Four years to get close enough to kill him just as he killed my parents. But fate is a cruel bitch. The mate bond snapped the moment I entered his quarters, binding me to the one man I swore to kill. My body betrays me, craving his touch while my mind screams for his death. And when Adrian finally feels it too, when he discovers I'm the last survivor of the pack he destroyed, everything changes. He says he needs me. That I'm the cure to an ailment slowly killing him. I need him too—he's the only one who can heal my broken wolf and help me shift again. The bond doesn't lie. And neither does the truth I'm starting to uncover about that bloody night. My heart is torn between my best friend who saved me and the mate who killed my parents and holds the key to making me whole again.

Shayla Hale learned young that love is the cruelest lie of all. When her father brought home his secret family, her world shattered. When college was supposed to be her fresh start, Grayson Cross destroyed that too...with his charming smile, his devastating lies, and a bet that would break her completely. Seven years later, she's rebuilt her life far from the ruins he left behind. She has her son, her best friend, and walls so high no one can hurt her again. She survived the worst betrayal of her life and built a new world far from the wreckage. A world where she's safe. Where her secrets stay buried. Where the man who destroyed her can never find her. Until the day she accepts a job as a personal assistant to a powerful CEO, and discovers her new boss is the last person she ever wanted to see again. Grayson Cross. Cold. Ruthless. Unforgiving. He doesn't know why she disappeared seven years ago. He doesn't know what he took from her. And he has no idea about the little boy with his eyes waiting at home. Some bets have consequences that last forever. Some lies can never be forgiven. And some men will destroy everything to get back what they lost. He ruined her once. But this time, she might just ruin him back.

Shayla Hale a appris très jeune que l’amour est le mensonge le plus cruel de tous. Quand son père a ramené chez eux sa famille secrète, son monde s’est effondré. Quand l’université était censée être son nouveau départ, Grayson Cross a détruit cela aussi — avec son sourire charmeur, ses mensonges dévastateurs et un pari qui allait la briser complètement. Sept ans plus tard, elle a reconstruit sa vie loin des ruines qu’il a laissées derrière lui. Elle a son fils, sa meilleure amie et des murs si hauts que plus personne ne pourra jamais lui faire du mal. Elle a survécu à la pire trahison de sa vie et a construit un nouveau monde loin des décombres. Un monde où elle est en sécurité. Où ses secrets restent enterrés. Où l’homme qui l’a détruite ne pourra jamais la retrouver. Jusqu’au jour où elle accepte un poste d’assistante personnelle auprès d’un puissant PDG — et découvre que son nouveau patron est la dernière personne qu’elle voulait revoir. Grayson Cross. Froid. Impitoyable. Inflexible. Il ne sait pas pourquoi elle a disparu il y a sept ans. Il ne sait pas ce qu’il lui a pris. Et il n’a aucune idée du petit garçon aux yeux semblables aux siens qui l’attend à la maison. Certains paris ont des conséquences qui durent pour toujours. Certains mensonges ne pourront jamais être pardonnés. Et certains hommes détruiront tout pour récupérer ce qu’ils ont perdu. Il l’a détruite une fois. Mais cette fois, c’est peut-être elle qui le détruira en retour.

Je suis la fille la plus brillante de l’école, une cheerleader avec une langue acérée et une ambition encore plus acérée. J’ai passé toute ma vie à regarder ma mère tomber pour les mauvais hommes qui baisent et partent. Je refuse d’être cette fille. Mais alors il y a Dylan Dickson. Un playboy qui ne baise jamais deux fois la même fille. Il est aussi mon rival académique, exaspérément brillant, et tellement sexy que je peux à peine réfléchir correctement quand il est près de moi. Je déteste tout ce qu’il représente. Je le veux avec une faim qui me garde éveillée la nuit. Et ça me terrifie. Puis le destin porte le coup le plus cruel : Dylan est mon nouveau demi-frère. Maintenant nous vivons sous le même toit, et l’air entre nous est électrique. Je le surprends torse nu, l’eau ruisselant sur ce corps parfait. Il me regarde comme s’il voulait me dévorer, sa voix une sombre promesse quand il me prévient : « Ne commence pas ce que tu ne peux pas finir. » Chaque contact accidentel brûle. Chaque regard brûlant me fait mal. Je ne ferais rien pour saboter la relation de ma mère, en la voyant enfin heureuse et stable. Dylan ne croit pas en l’amour — la trahison de sa mère a détruit ça il y a des années et il ne fait pas d’engagement. Mais nier ce qui se passe entre nous est une torture. Le désir est primal…. Le besoin est dévorant…. Et le combattre est en train de nous déchirer lentement. Les enjeux n’ont jamais été aussi élevés, mais combien de temps encore puis-je prétendre que je ne veux pas le baiser jusqu’à en perdre la raison.

Moana Queens has two rules: stay on top, and never become my mother. I'm the most brilliant girl in school, a cheerleader with a sharp tongue and sharper ambition. I've spent my whole life watching my mother fall for the wrong men who fuck and leave. I refuse to be that girl. But then there's Dylan Dickson. He's arrogant, cocky and a fucking playboy who doesn't screw the same girl twice. He's also my academic rival, infuriatingly brilliant, and so goddamn sexy I can barely think straight when he's near. I hate everything he represents. I want him with a hunger that keeps me awake at night. And that terrifies me. Then fate delivers the cruelest blow: Dylan is my new stepbrother. Now we're living under the same roof, and the air between us is electric. I catch him shirtless, water dripping down that perfect body. He watches me like he wants to devour me, his voice a dark promise when he warns, "Don't start what you can't finish." Every accidental touch burns. Every heated glance makes me ache. I wouldn't do anything to sabotage my mother's relationship, seeing her finally happy and stable. Dylan doesn't believe in love, his mother's betrayal destroyed that years ago and he doesn't do commitment. But denying what's between us is torture. The want is primal…. The need is consuming…. And fighting it is slowly tearing me apart. One taste and I'll be ruined One touch and there's no coming back, The stakes have never been higher, but how much longer can I pretend I don't want to fuck him senseless.

“You want a divorce,” he said flatly. “Yes.” “You.” He tilted his head. “The same woman who begged her father to arrange this marriage because she's completely in love with me, who has spent two years making my life…” he stopped, and rephrased “you want a divorce.” “People change.” “What scheme is this now Arabella?” I frowned. “It's not a scheme, it's a divorce, and it's very common among people who are done with a…” “Impossible.” He said it like that was the end of it, discussion over. He turned away from me and walked toward the door like I hadn't said anything at all. “Andrew!” “Get up.” He didn't turn around. “Get dressed, something presentable. We're going to the palace tonight.” “I just asked you for a divorce…” “It's a banquet.” He finally glanced back over his shoulder, and there was nothing in his expression that suggested he'd heard a single word I said about divorce. “We're meeting the King tonight. You have a few hours so I suggest you stop wasting them.” “Did you hear what I just said to you?” “Get ready, Bella.” ✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧ The Ruthless Lycan King isn’t just my mate. He’s my secret. I’m already married to Alpha Andrew yet every full moon, I end up in the King’s arms… feeding his curse with my blood, and my body. He needs me to survive. I need him more than I should. If my husband ever finds out, this forbidden affair will start a war.

Ravael Steele is a scentless female omega hiding her identity to play hockey in an all male alpha academy. She had a plan. She had control. She had everything perfectly built. Until one heated night unraveled all of it. Claimed and marked. Everything she sacrificed was gone in a single moment she never saw coming. Zoren Maveth is the most powerful alpha captain in the academy. He can’t comprehend what’s happening to him. His new roommate is small, fragile, infuriating—and somehow constantly messing with his head. He told himself the cruelty was discipline. He told himself the obsession was irritation. Then he discovered the small alpha he’d been tormenting was never an alpha at all. A male omega. Living in his room. Under his skin. Now he’s not just questioning his sexuality. He’s questioning his sanity. Because no matter what he does—he cannot get him out of his head. And the scent that was never supposed to exist is the thing destroying them both.
