Chapter: Chapter Twelve: Unwanted DinnerJax woke up with a knot already twisting in his stomach. He dragged himself through his morning routine, splashing cold water on his face and staring at his reflection longer than usual. The memory of last night’s solo session still lingered like a bad aftertaste. He pulled on his practice gear mechanically, trying to lock everything down. Today he had to be normal. Grumpy, focused, untouchable. No slips. No staring at Elias.He drove to the rink in silence, music turned up loud enough to drown out his thoughts. When he stepped onto the ice, the usual chaos of his teammates greeted him — sticks clacking, loud trash talk, bodies slamming into boards during warm-up drills.“Thorne, you look like shit,” one of his linemates called out, grinning. “Late night?”Jax grunted, slamming a puck harder than necessary. “Mind your own fucking business and pass the damn puck.”He played grumpy the whole time, barking at anyone who missed a pass or skated too slow. Every time he glanced toward the f

Chapter: Chapter Eleven: Dinner Plans and Late-Night SecretsElias stepped out of the back room looking perfectly put together, hair fixed, clothes straightened, a faint flush still lingering on his cheeks. No one would guess what had just happened behind that closed door. He slid onto a stool at the bar and ordered a fresh drink from the new bartender who had taken over Damon’s shift. The cold glass felt good against his palm. He took a slow sip, letting the alcohol settle, then caught Elara’s eye across the room and flashed her a small, satisfied smile.Elara was on the dance floor, moving easily with some guy who had his hands on her waist. She waved back, grinning, before turning her attention to her dance partner again.Elias’s phone buzzed on the counter. He glanced down and saw a message from his dad, Peter. He opened it.‘We are going to the Thorne’s house tomorrow evening after your early morning practice. Love you, Eli.’A deep frown creased Elias’s forehead. Thorne’s house? Of all the people his fathers could be connected to…Elara s

Chapter: Chapter Ten: Sharp EdgesElias pushed off the ice with everything he had left. The second attempt at the higher triple axel felt different, cleaner, sharper. He launched higher than before, rotated tight in the air, and landed with a solid, satisfying edge. No wobble. No harness needed this time.Elara clapped loudly, skating over with a huge grin. “Yes! That’s what I’m talking about! You flew, superstar!”Coach watched from the boards, nodding with a rare smile. “That’s the height we needed. Good work today. That’ll be all for now, rest up. Qualifiers are coming fast.”Elias jumped in place like a kid, clapping his gloved hands against Elara’s. The relief felt sweet after yesterday’s failures. “Finally. You promised to take me out if I nailed it, and I’m in the mood right now. Let’s go.”They held hands and skated off the ice together, laughing as they went.Inside the locker room, Elias changed quickly, stuffing his gear into his bag. He headed for the exit, but had to step aside when the entire hockey team

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Cracks Before the JumpJax stood in front of his dresser, half-dressed, holding the team hoodie like it might bite him. The clock on his nightstand said he should already be out the door, but his body wouldn’t cooperate. Every time he pictured stepping onto the ice, the same loop played in his head: the dark corner at the party, Elias’s surprised eyes, the way their mouths had crashed together like they were trying to win an argument with lips instead of words.“I messed this up,” he muttered, voice rough. “Kissing him like that… fuck. How am I supposed to face him at the rink now?”He slumped back onto the bed, elbows on his knees, head heavy in his hands. The room felt too quiet. Too neat. Everything in its place, just like always, the way he kept his life so no one could find the cracks. But last night he’d made a new one, and it was staring right back at him.A soft knock broke the silence. The door opened before he could answer.May stepped in, purse already over her shoulder, ready for her day. “Jax?

Chapter: Chapter Eight: AftertasteThe car hummed along the highway, city lights streaking past in soft blurs of neon and gold. Elias sat slumped in the passenger seat, his face pale under the glow of the dashboard. His lips still tingled from the kiss, rough, angry, and way too good. He kept touching them without thinking, then dropping his hand like it burned.Elara kept one hand on the wheel and reached over with the other, rubbing slow circles on his back. “Hey… breathe. You look like you just saw a ghost.”“I wonder why he’d do that,” Elias muttered, voice quiet. “After all the shit he’s said about me. The names, the sneers, the whole ‘princess’ routine. Then he kisses me like… like that.”“Yeah, I know, right?” Elara glanced at him, her tone gentle but trying to keep things light. “Was he drunk? That’s the only thing that makes sense. Guys like him don’t just flip the switch unless something’s messing with their head.”“I think he was,” Elias said, though he wasn’t sure. The way Jax had looked at him, wild, almos

Chapter: Chapter Seven: Warehouse LightsThe warehouse party pulsed with life downtown, far from the polished ice of the arena. Converted from an old industrial space, the venue had soaring ceilings strung with colorful LED strips and projection mapping that splashed vibrant queer art across brick walls. Bass-heavy music thrummed through the air, deep techno mixed with groovy house, while bodies moved on the makeshift dance floor. Modular lounge pods offered quieter corners for conversation, and the scent of sweat, cologne, and sweet cocktails hung heavy.Elias and Elara arrived fashionably late, both dressed casually sharp: Elias in fitted black jeans and a sleek silver button-down that hugged his lean skater’s build, Elara in a bold crop top and high-waisted pants that let her move freely. The invitation had promised a low-key queer night, but the energy felt electric, safe, freeing, and exactly what Elias needed after days of rink tension.“This is perfect,” Elara shouted over the music as they grabbed drinks from a glowi

Le Fiancé de ma Mère est mon Mate
Aurelia Nightbane revient à New York pour une seule raison : le mariage de sa mère.
Après des années d'absence, elle n'espère rien de plus que des retrouvailles paisibles, un nouveau départ et peut-être l'occasion de construire enfin sa propre vie. Mais tout bascule dès qu'elle descend de l'avion…
Car l'homme qui l'attend n'est pas seulement puissant, froid et dangereusement séduisant.
Il est le fiancé de sa mère.
Ronan Darkmoor, un Alpha redouté et un milliardaire impitoyable, avait depuis longtemps renoncé à l'idée de trouver son âme sœur. Lassé d'attendre le destin, il a préféré la stabilité à la destinée… et a décidé d'épouser la mère d'Aurelia.
Jusqu'à ce que la Déesse de la Lune lui prouve le contraire.
Dès que leurs regards se croisent, la vérité devient indéniable.
Aurelia est son âme sœur.
Déchiré entre le devoir et le désir, Ronan annule le mariage… mais certains liens sont indissolubles. Secrets, tentations et trahisons s'enflamment lorsque les limites sont franchies, laissant Aurelia prise au piège entre les deux personnes en qui elle aurait dû avoir le plus confiance.
Le cœur brisé et furieuse, Aurelia est contrainte d'affronter une vérité douloureuse : sa vie a été bâtie sur des mensonges.
Alors que des secrets enfouis concernant son père biologique commencent à refaire surface et que la manipulation de sa mère est révélée au grand jour, Aurelia doit décider qui elle est vraiment… et si elle pourra un jour pardonner à l'Alpha qui l'a trahie.
Mais dans un monde régi par le pouvoir, le sang et le destin…
un lien d'âme sœur ne se brise pas si facilement.

Chapter: Chapitre Dix-Sept : Cœurs emmêlés et blessures cachéesLa journée de travail s’était écoulée dans un flou de réunions et de revues de code, le genre de journée qui laissait l’esprit d’Aurelia engourdi mais son corps épuisé. Elle rassembla son sac, le passa sur son épaule et descendit les escaliers du bureau, les lumières fluorescentes bourdonnant au-dessus d’elle comme des insectes lointains. Le parking se vidait, le soleil de fin d’après-midi projetant de longues ombres sur l’asphalte tandis qu’elle se dirigeait vers sa voiture, les clés tintant dans sa main.Elle tâtonna avec la serrure, la portière s’ouvrant avec un clic juste au moment où son téléphone vibra dans sa poche. Elle le sortit, vit le nom de Mira à l’écran et répondit en s’installant sur le siège conducteur.
« Salut, ma belle. Tu vas bien ? » La voix de Mira résonna dans l’appareil, joyeuse mais teintée d’une hésitation.« Ouais, ça va. Je suis sur le point de rentrer du travail. » Aurelia démarra le moteur, la voiture ronronnant tandis qu’elle sortait du parking et s’engag

Chapter: Chapitre Seize : Envies de minuitAttachée sur le lit, les mains verrouillées au-dessus de sa tête et les jambes écartées, Aurelia était allongée nue. Ronan s’était positionné entre ses cuisses, sa bouche dévorant sa chatte tandis qu’il léchait ses plis et aspirait son clitoris. Ses doigts pinçaient et roulaient son téton, le tordant durement pendant qu’il enfonçait deux doigts dans son humidité, les recourbant contre les parois intérieures. Aurelia se tortillait, son corps n’étant plus qu’un chaos de gémissements tandis qu’elle agitait les orteils sous le plaisir écrasant. Ses hanches se soulevaient contre son visage, poursuivant la pression qui montait.Ronan releva la tête, un sourire en coin devant son visage rougi et sa poitrine haletante. Il tendit la main vers la table de nuit, prit une lingette et un vibromasseur. Il alluma l’appareil, le bourdonnement bas emplissant la pièce, puis se pencha à nouveau entre ses jambes. Il pressa la pointe vibrante contre son clitoris avant de la glisser profondément dans sa ch

Chapter: Chapitre Quinze : Liens brisésLa lumière de fin d’après-midi entrait en biais par les hautes fenêtres du salon, jetant des teintes dorées sur les canapés en cuir moelleux et la table basse en acajou poli. Aurelia était perchée sur le bord d’un canapé, son ordinateur portable en équilibre sur ses genoux, les doigts volant sur le clavier tandis qu’elle terminait le projet qu’elle avait laissé inachevé au bureau. Le bourdonnement discret du manoir — le cliquetis lointain du personnel en cuisine, le tic-tac faible d’une horloge de parquet — offrait un calme trompeur. Son bras palpitait encore légèrement à cause de la blessure que Selene lui avait infligée lors d’une de ses crises d’ivresse, une douleur sourde qui faisait écho à la blessure plus profonde dans sa poitrine. Elle plia les doigts, ignorant le pincement, et se replongea dans le tableur, déterminée à se perdre dans les chiffres plutôt que dans le chaos de sa famille.La porte grinça en s’ouvrant, attirant son regard vers le haut.

Il écarta largement ses cuisses, sa langue lapant ses plis, la nettoyant avec de longs coups plats qui la firent frissonner à nouveau. Il savoura chaque goutte, aspirant doucement son clitoris avant de se relever pour s’allonger à côté d’elle, attirant son corps contre le sien, peau contre peau.« Je crois que je dois retourner dans ma chambre », murmura Mira, la voix tremblante tandis que la réalité reprenait ses droits. Elle attrapa son haut et l’enfila, mais son short gisait en lambeaux sur le sol.Kai ricana doucement, prit un pantalon de survêtement dans un tiroir et le lui tendit. Il était trop large pour elle, mais mieux que rien. Il lui envoya un baiser depuis la porte, la regardant partir avec un sourire satisfait.Mira referma la porte de la chambre d’amis derrière elle, sauta sur le lit en gloussant et en donnant des coups de pied en l’air.Le soleil du matin filtrait à travers les arbres soigne

Chapter: Chapitre Treize : Désirs déverrouillésMira entra dans la chambre d’amis qui lui avait été assignée. Ses doigts glissèrent aussitôt sur la commode en acajou lisse, puis sur le plaid en velours moelleux drapé sur le lit à baldaquin. L’espace était une vision de luxe discret : murs crème doux rehaussés de miroirs aux cadres dorés, une porte-fenêtre laissant entrer le soleil de fin d’après-midi qui dansait sur le tapis persan. Elle tourna lentement sur elle-même, admirant la salle de bain attenante visible à travers une arche ouverte, avec sa baignoire à pattes de lion qui criait l’indulgence.
« C’est irréel », murmura-t-elle en laissant tomber son sac sur le sol et en se laissant tomber sur le lit un instant, le matelas s’enfonçant comme un nuage.Mais la curiosité la fit se relever. Elle passa la tête par la porte et aperçut la gouvernante de tout à l’heure, une femme d’âge moyen aux cheveux en chignon net et au tablier impeccable, qui s’attardait dans le couloir en ajustant un vase de lys.

Chapter: Chapitre Douze : Alliances briséesLa mâchoire de Mira se décrocha lorsque l’entrée grandiose du manoir de Ronan se déploya devant elle. Les colonnes imposantes et la pierre sculptée captaient la lumière de l’après-midi comme dans un conte de fées. Des marches en marbre menaient à de doubles portes qui s’ouvrirent automatiquement, révélant un hall d’entrée capable d’engloutir tout son appartement de Brooklyn. Des lustres en cristal pendaient des plafonds voûtés, et l’air portait une légère odeur de bois ciré et de fleurs fraîches arrangées dans d’énormes vases.
« Putain de merde, cet endroit est dingue », murmura Mira, les yeux écarquillés, serrant plus fort son sac tandis qu’elle suivait Aurelia et Kai.Elles entrèrent, l’air frais les enveloppant comme une étreinte luxueuse. L’écho de leurs pas rebondissait sur les murs. Mira tourna lentement sur elle-même, admirant le grand escalier, les œuvres d’art abstrait qui coûtaient probablement plus que ses frais de scolarité, et les immenses fenêtres donnant sur des jardins

Chapter: Chapter Sixty-Five: BrotherhoodKael POVThis room didn’t change one bit. The faint smell of polished wood and herbs lingered in the air, the same subtle perfume of flowers in the corner, the same arrangement of the heavy curtains catching the sunlight just enough to warm the room. My eyes scanned the familiar surroundings, but there was no reply, no sound, only the soft rise and fall of her chest against the white sheets. I looked down and found her sleeping, peaceful, vulnerable, yet radiating a quiet strength even in her slumber. The loose strands of hair that had fallen across her face begged for attention, and I bent down gently, brushing them away with the lightest touch I could manage, careful not to wake her.Her features softened in sleep, lips slightly parted, breathing steady, and the calm expression on her face made me pause for a moment. I adjusted her body lightly, tucking a blanket under her shoulder to make her more comfortable, laying her properly on the bed, and I let myself linger, simply observin

I lay against Kael’s shoulder, my body curved into his like I had always belonged there, his arm firm around my side, holding me close with that silent, possessive certainty that never failed to steady me. The movement of the vehicle was smooth, the low hum of the engine blending with the distant sounds of hooves and shifting guards outside, and before I knew it, sleep had taken me again without resistance.When I stirred, it was slow and heavy, my lashes fluttering open as the world came back into focus. The first thing I felt was warmth, his warmth, solid and grounding beneath my cheek, and the second was the faint tightening of his hold around me as though he sensed I was awake even before I moved.I shifted slightly, lifting my head just enough to glance outside, the passing trees blurring into streaks of green and shadow as we continued

I paused midway, glancing up at the remaining steps with a small pout forming on my lips as a thought slipped into my mind. I really wish he was here to carry me right now.“Say no more, love.”My head snapped up immediately at the sound of his voice, and there he was, walking toward me with that calm, confident stride that always made my chest tighten slightly, Rowen right behind him with an amused look on his face as if he had heard everything through the bond as well.Before I could even say anything, Kael reached me, his hand sliding firmly around my waist as I instinctively wrapped my arms around his

The room was expansive, walls lined with dark wood panels that absorbed the soft glow from a single bedside lamp. Aurelia's body sank into the mattress, the silk sheets cool against her flushed skin, every muscle still thrumming from the earlier intensity. She watched Ronan move with purpose toward the adjoining bathroom, his presence filling the space even as he stepped away. The sound of water filling the tub echoed faintly, a rhythmic pour that did little to drown out the pounding in her ears.Later, he returned, his arms sliding under her without warning, lifting her as if she weighed nothing. She let out a soft gasp, her head resting against his shoulder, the scent of his cologne, musk and leather, wrapping around her.

The blindfold kept her world black, heightening every sensation, the cool air on her sweat-damp skin, the unyielding grip of the spreader bar holding her ankles apart, the faint creak of the mattress as Ronan shifted beside her. Her hands, free for now, clutched the sheets, knuckles white from the intensity. She could hear his breathing, steady and controlled, a stark contrast to her ragged gasps.He drizzled more oil across her breasts, the liquid warm and slick, trailing down her sides in rivulets that made her arch involuntarily. His palms followed, spreading it over her curves with firm, possessive strokes, kneading her tits, thumbs circling her nipples until they hardened into tight peaks again. The touch was methodical, almost clinical in its precision, but it ignited fresh sparks low in her belly. 'Stay still,' he murmured, his voice a low command that vibrat

Ronan's presence beside her was a heavy weight, his thigh brushing hers in the confined space. She didn't pull away, though every instinct screamed she should. The driver turned into a gated drive, the iron barriers swinging open as if recognizing the vehicle. The house, no, estate, that came into view dwarfed the one she shared with Selene.

Her thin blouse was plastered to her skin, completely see-through now, and her skirt clung uncomfortably to her thighs.

It was late afternoon, the clock ticking mercilessly toward five, and the air hummed with the low murmur of keyboards clacking and phones ringing off the hook.

His broad shoulders tensed under the black tactical vest, tattoos peeking from the collar as he sighted down the barrel of a sleek prototype assault rifle.

Bullet casings ejected in a hot cascade, clinking against the concrete floor.
