Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Eight: Dawn of a New AlphaElara’s POVThe festival progressed with a vibrant energy that seemed to breathe new life into every corner of the pack lands, the air filled with the rich aroma of roasted meats, fresh bread, and blooming night flowers that had been woven into garlands hanging from every post and tree. Visiting Alphas from allied packs arrived one by one, their entourages impressive yet respectful as they were welcomed with formal greetings and shared toasts under the wide canopy set up at the center of the clearing. I stood beside Kael on the raised platform, our son nestled securely in his father’s arms, the baby’s tiny hand curled around one of Kael’s fingers as if already sensing the strength of the legacy he would one day inherit. The sight of so many powerful leaders gathered in peace after the storms we had survived filled me with a quiet pride that settled deep in my chest, a reminder that our pack had not only endured but had grown stronger through the trials.When the time came for the pres

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Seven: A Day of New BeginningsElara’s POV The next day was the celebration, and the entire pack lands buzzed with energy that seemed to push back against the shadows of the past weeks. I stood in front of the large mirror in our chamber while Ava helped me with my clothes, her hands careful and patient as she adjusted the flowing ceremonial gown around my still-tender body. I could not bend down properly yet, the aftermath of labor making even simple movements feel heavy and restricted, but Ava moved with the quiet efficiency of a true friend, fastening the intricate ties at my back and smoothing the rich fabric over my curves. The gown was deep emerald with threads of gold that caught the morning light streaming through the windows, a color chosen to honor both Moon Pack traditions and the strength I had found in my own bloodline. The baby had not left Kael’s side since morning, the little one cradled securely in his father’s arms wherever Kael went, and the sight filled me with a deep, abiding happiness that soo

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Six: Reunions and RevelationsElara’s POVI want to see your mother, I whispered after the midwife and the pack doctor had finally left the room, my voice barely carrying above the soft sounds of our newborn son’s breathing. The exhaustion from labor still weighed heavily on every part of my body, but the curiosity and need to understand the full story behind Kael’s long absence refused to let me rest completely. Kael was now carrying the baby, our little boy nestled securely against his broad chest, one large hand supporting the tiny head with a gentleness that made my heart ache in the best possible way. The sight of him holding our son so carefully after everything we had been through brought fresh tears to my eyes, a mixture of overwhelming love and the lingering fear that this moment might still slip away like the dream from earlier.“Rest up, baby. You will meet her when you are awake,” Kael said softly, his voice low and soothing as he rocked the baby with slow, steady movements. “And I sent someone to info

He walked closer, his familiar scent reaching me first, strong and grounding, before his hand closed around mine with that exact pressure I had missed so deeply. He sat beside me on the bed and gently lifted my body onto his lap, cradling me against his chest as if I weighed nothing at all. I lifted a trembling hand and touched his face, tracing the line of his jaw, the curve of his cheek, the warmth of his skin, needing to feel that he was solid and real beneath my fingers.He smiled at me, that slow, crooked smile that had always belonged only to me, and something inside my chest cracked open. “He’s back,” I said, turning my head toward Ava, who stood there smiling with tears shining in her eyes as she nodded quickly, una

Kael said, his voice low and warm as he sat at the edge of the bed, his strong hands gently rubbing my swollen foot with slow, careful strokes that sent waves of relief through my tired body. The room felt safe and familiar, filled with the soft glow of evening light filtering through the curtains, the heavy weight on my chest had lifted completely. I pouted my lips, looking up at him with all the longing I had carried during his long absence. “I can’t believe you are finally back,” I whispered, my voice thick with emotion. “Why did you take so long? What about your mother? Did you come back with her?” The questions tumbled out all at once, each one laced with the fear and hope I had buried deep inside me for so many days.Kael smiled that slow, reassuring smile I had missed more than I could put into words, his thumb pressing gently into the arch of my foot as he continued the massage. “I will tell you everything when you wake up,” he murmured,

Chapter: Chapter Ninety-Three: Snapped RestraintElara’s POVMy mother had been here for some days now, and she would be going back today. In that short time we had bonded even more deeply, talking about everything from the quiet fears of motherhood to the heavier burdens of leading a pack through uncertainty, her presence filling the house with a steady warmth that made the long weeks of Kael’s absence feel a little less crushing. We spent long afternoons together, her hand often resting on my belly as we discussed names for the pup and the kind of strength a child of two Alphas would need to carry, her wisdom wrapping around me like a protective cloak against the worries that never fully left my mind. She reminded me daily of my own power, of the blood that ran through my veins, and of the fact that I was never truly alone even when the bond with Kael remained painfully silent. Those conversations grounded me, giving me moments of peace amid the growing rumors that swirled through the pack like poison in still water, whispers clai

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.

Jusqu'à ce que la Déesse de la Lune lui prouve le contraire.

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…

Chapter: Chapitre Soixante-Dix-Sept : OmbresRonan et Kai rentrèrent plus tard dans la nuit. Le manoir était calme, les lumières tamisées dans le salon tandis qu’ils entraient. Mira était là, faisant les cent pas avec l’inquiétude claire sur son visage. Elle se tourna vers l’un des hommes de Ronan qui se tenait à proximité.
« Avez-vous vu Aurelia ? » demanda-t-elle, la voix urgente.L’homme secoua la tête, l’expression neutre. Ronan s’arrêta en se dirigeant vers le bar, puis se tourna vers eux.
« Qu’est-ce que tu veux dire ? Vous êtes sortis ensemble », dit Ronan, le ton s’aiguisant tandis qu’il réalisait que quelque chose n’allait pas.« Oui, on l’a fait, mais je ne l’ai pas vue depuis qu’on est rentrées. Elle n’est même pas dans sa chambre », répondit Mira, les mains s’agitant tandis qu’elle parlait.« Trouvez-la maintenant », marmonna Ronan, déjà en colère face à la situation.

Chapter: Chapitre Soixante-Seize : TerreurQuand la maison fut calme, Aurelia se glissa hors de sa chambre. Le couloir était faiblement éclairé, le manoir paraissant inhabituellement calme après les événements de la journée. Elle descendit l’escalier sur la pointe des pieds avec précaution, ses pieds nus silencieux sur le sol frais. Personne n’était là, le salon vide, les lumières basses. Elle prit la sortie pour vérifier dehors. Heureusement, la voiture de Ronan n’était pas là, donc il n’était pas encore rentré. Son cœur battait fort tandis qu’elle se dirigeait vers le sous-sol, mais elle s’arrêta et se cacha immédiatement quand elle entendit des pas.Elle se pressa contre le mur, retenant son souffle tandis qu’elle voyait trois hommes sortir du sous-sol. L’un d’eux essaya de verrouiller la porte, mais l’autre l’arrêta.

L’air était épais de tension, l’odeur métallique et de peur flottant lourdement. Selene était enchaînée au mur, son corps tendu tandis qu’elle les regardait entrer. La peur sur son visage était très visible, ses yeux écarquillés et sa respiration rapide. Son esprit tournait à plein régime avec des pensées sur ce qu’ils pourraient lui faire, les chaînes cliquetant légèrement tandis qu’elle remuait inconfortablement.Les hommes qui étaient venus avec Joe commencèrent à sortir l’équipement des sacs qu’ils portaient, des outils qui avaient l’air tranchants et intimidants, conçus pour un seul but. Les yeux de Selene se posèrent sur les objets, son visage pâlissant encore plus.« C’est quoi tout ça ?

Elle retrouva Mira déjà habillée et assise à la table de la salle à manger, en train de grignoter sa nourriture avec un air satisfait sur le visage.« Tu en as mis du temps », dit Mira en levant les yeux de son assiette. Elle marqua une pause, les yeux plissés. « Et pourquoi tes joues sont-elles rouges ? » demanda Mira, puis ses yeux s’écarquillèrent légèrement. « Ne me dis pas que tu étais occupée à te faire baiser pendant que je t’attends ici toute la journée », s’exclama Mira, la voix forte et taquine.« Tais-toi, femme sans filtre. Et de toute façon, je ne me faisais pas baiser », répondit Aurelia, rougissant profondément tandis qu’elle essayait d’éviter le regard complice de son amie.« Si ce n’est pas le cas, alors pourquoi ton visage est rouge ? » insista Mira en se penchant avec un sourire.« C’est juste… » co

Aurelia arrangea rapidement ses vêtements, remettant son haut en place avec des doigts tremblants. La porte fut poussée avant qu’aucun d’eux ne puisse répondre. Marcellus entra en premier, le visage rempli d’un mélange d’inquiétude et de soulagement, avec Aria qui le suivait de près. La chambre parut soudain plus petite avec leur présence.« Ma Aurelia », appela doucement Marcellus en marchant directement vers l’endroit où elle se tenait près du lit. Sa voix se brisa sous l’émotion. « Je suis tellement désolé que tu aies dû traverser tout ça et aussi perdre la mémoire dans le processus. » Il s’arrêta à quelques mètres, l’air brisé, ne sachant pas s’il devait tendre la main ou lui donner de l’espace. « Je suis désolé de ne pas avoir été là pour te protéger, ma petite fille. »Ronan était assis sur le bord du lit, observant le moment père-fille en silence, son expression indéchiffrable mais ses yeux ne qu

Ronan leva légèrement la tête, prenant soin de ne pas déranger Aurelia, qui dormait encore profondément sur son torse. La chambre était calme, le seul son étant le rythme régulier de sa respiration. Kai entra dans la chambre, ses pas mesurés tandis qu’il refermait la porte derrière lui.« Les armes sont livrées », dit Kai en entrant, la voix basse mais claire.« Chuuuuut », lui dit Ronan en mettant un doigt sur ses lèvres pour le faire taire. Il déplaça lentement Aurelia sur le lit, la bougeant doucement pour qu’elle ne se réveille pas. Elle remua légèrement mais se rendormit, le visage paisible pour la première fois depuis des jours. Ronan la regarda un moment, sa main écartant une mèche de cheveux de son front avant d’attraper sa chemise et de l’enfiler. Il quitta la chambre avec Kai, refermant doucement la porte derrière eux.Ils marchèrent dans le couloir en silence pendant quelques pas avant que Ronan ne parle.

Chapter: Chapter Forty-Four: missing youThe night was quiet at the academy. Elias lay in his bed, phone glowing in the dark, when a new message from Jax came through.Jax: I can’t stop thinking about you. Miss you so much it hurts. Can I come to you tonight? I need to see you.Elias’s heart raced. He typed back quickly.Elias: Yes. Come. Be careful. I’ll leave the side door unlocked.Jax left the hotel room he had been staying in, checking the parking lot twice to make sure none of his father’s men were following. The coast was clear. He drove through the dark streets, the city lights blurring past, his hands tight on the wheel. The need to see Elias, to touch him, to feel him close, was overwhelming.He arrived at the academy campus late, parked far from the main buildings, and slipped through the side door Elias had left unlocked. The hallway was empty. He moved quietly until he reached Elias’s room and knocked softly.The door opened immediately. Elias pulled him inside, locking the door behind them. They stood there for

Chapter: Chapter Forty-Three: Long-Distance TensionElias wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and skated over to the boards, breathing hard. The academy rink was alive with the sound of blades cutting ice, coaches calling out corrections, and the occasional cheer when someone landed a difficult element. It was only his second full week here, but the routine was already sinking in, early mornings, intense drills, and the constant push to be better.A tall skater from the northern region, Marcus, glided up beside him during the water break. “Nice triple axel earlier. You’ve got serious height on that. How’s the arm holding up after the fall everyone’s been talking about?”Elias took a long drink from his bottle and shrugged. “It’s healed. Still careful with it, but it’s not stopping me.”Marcus nodded, impressed. “Respect. Most people would’ve taken more time off. You’re pushing hard.”They chatted for a few minutes about jump technique and the academy’s coaching style. Other skaters joined in, a girl from the wes

Chapter: Chapter Forty-Two: Academy Life BeginsElias stood in the middle of his new room at Elite Skate Academy, duffel bag dropped at his feet, and took a slow, deep breath. The space was bigger than he expected, high ceilings, large windows overlooking one of the training rinks, a private bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a bed that looked far more comfortable than the one at home. It felt like a fresh start, a clean slate away from the old rink, the viral video, the whispers, and the weight of everything that had happened.He walked to the window and looked out. The academy campus was impressive, multiple rinks, gym facilities, dorm buildings, and green spaces. Skaters from all over the country were already moving in, some laughing in the hallways, others focused and quiet. This was the big leagues. No more sharing ice with hockey players. No more locker room taunts. Just skating.A knock sounded on the door.“Come in,” Elias called.Elara stepped inside, dragging her own suitcase behind her. Her room was right next door, and

He dressed carefully, choosing a simple white shirt and black pants. He looked at himself in the mirror for a long moment, then grabbed his bag and headed downstairs.His dads were already in the kitchen, the smell of coffee and toast filling the air. Peter looked up first, offering a small smile. “Morning. You slept okay?”“Yeah,” Elias replied, keeping his voice steady. “I’m heading out to pick up Elara. We have to go sign the contract with Elite Skate Academy today.”Dave nodded, handing him a travel mug of tea. “We’re proud of you. Call us when you’re done.”Elias hugged them both quickly, the familiar warmth of their support easing some of the tension in his shoulders. “I will.

The comments were worse, vicious, cruel, relentless. Elias’s chest tightened with every scroll. He wasn’t angry about the sex itself. He and Jax weren’t official, and he had been with Damon too. But the lie. The cousin part. Jax had hidden something so huge, so personal, while pretending to open up. That hurt more than anything.The betrayal sat like ice in his chest, heavy and cold.A soft knock sounded on the door. Elara didn’t wait for permission. She pushed it open, carrying two large milkshakes and a bag of fries from their favorite late-night spot. She kicked the door shut behind her and dropped onto the bed beside him, handing him one of the shakes.“Chocolate peanut butter. Extra whipped cream. You look like you need it.”Elias took the cup but didn’t drink. He just held it, staring at the condensation dripping down the side. “I don’t know how to feel

He flexed his left arm carefully, no cast, just a light support wrap underneath the sleeve. The pain was still there, a dull reminder, but it was manageable. He took a deep breath, staring at his reflection. Today was the day. No more practice. No more excuses. Everything he had worked for came down to the next few hours.He headed downstairs. His dads were already in the kitchen, Vera having left early with a note and a kiss on his forehead.

Mira was there, pacing back and forth with worry clear on her face. She turned to one of Ronan’s men standing nearby. “Have you seen Aurelia?” she asked, her voice urgent.The man nodded no, his expression neutral. Ronan paused on his way to the bar side, then turned to them. “What do you mean? You guys went out together,” Ronan said, his tone sharpening as he realized something was wrong.“Yes, we did, but I haven’t seen her since we came back. She’s not even in her room,” Mira replied, her hands fidgeting as she spoke.“Find her now,” Ronan muttered, already getting angry at the situation.

Chapter: Chapter Seventy-Six: TerrorWhen the house was quiet, Aurelia sneaked out of her room. The hallway was dimly lit, the mansion feeling unusually still after the events of the day. She tiptoed downstairs carefully, her bare feet silent on the cool floor. No one was there, the sitting room empty, the lights low. She took the exit to check outside. Luckily, Ronan’s car wasn’t there, so he wasn’t back yet. Her heart pounded as she moved toward the basement, but she paused and hid immediately when she heard footsteps. She pressed herself against the wall, holding her breath as she saw three men coming out of the basement. One of them tried to lock the door, but the other stopped him. “Don’t lock it,” the man said. “What do you think?” the other asked. “Leave it. We will be back soon anyway, and she can’t escape in that state,” the man replied. They left the door unlocked and walked away, their footsteps fading down the hall.

The fear in her face was very visible, her eyes wide and her breathing quick. Her mind raced with thoughts of what they might do to her, the chains rattling slightly as she shifted uncomfortably.The men that came with Joe started bringing out the equipment from the bags they had been carrying, tools that looked sharp and intimidating, designed for one purpose only. Selene’s eyes darted to the items, her face paling further.“What is this about? What are you trying to do?” Selene asked, her voice shaky but trying to sound defiant.“You better start talking before I tell them to start because they are very happy with it,” Ronan muttered to Selene, his voice cold and low as he stood in front of her.“Who assisted you in doing that to my woman?

She paused for a second, her eyes narrowing slightly. “And why is your cheek flushed?” Mira asked, then her eyes widened a little. “Don’t tell me you were busy getting dick down while I’m here waiting all day for you,” Mira exclaimed, her voice loud and teasing.“Shut up, you unfiltered lady. And besides, I wasn’t getting dick down,” Aurelia said, blushing deeply as she tried to avoid her friend’s knowing gaze.“If that’s not the case, then why is your face red?” Mira pressed, leaning forward with a grin.“It’s just…” Aurelia started, but a car horn was heard outside, cutting her off. “Aria is here, so let’s go,” she said quickly, escaping her curious frien
