Se connecter“Have we met before?” He asked and I almost collapsed in fright, my whole body getting drained of blood as my hands just shook in fear while I had my head buried. “Speak!” His voice thundered as he held up my chin roughly, willing me to look up and I averted my gaze shakily, trying to look at the ceiling, the ground and anything other than his face. “N… N… No…” I managed to stammer and much to my dismay, our eyes met and rather than averting my gaze immediately, stupidly with a racing heart, I maintained eye contact. ************************** After Nora’s double life is exposed, she flees the pack, only to discover she’s carrying the child of the most dangerous and feral Alpha alive. Running is her only choice, but shadows follow her. Dark secrets haunt the Alpha, a deadly curse looms over him, and a destructive past threatens to repeat itself with greater consequences. In the midst of it all is a longing neither of them can resist… one only a true mate can feel. Not even the goddess can save them from what’s coming.

Résumé de Dans les bras de l’ennemiElena Moretti, fille d’une puissante famille mafieuse sicilienne, est envoyée à Rome comme monnaie d’échange dans une négociation de paix fragile entre les familles rivales Moretti et Esposito. Plongée dans un monde luxueux mais oppressant, elle devient captive dans la somptueuse villa d’Adriano Esposito, héritier mystérieux et dangereux d’une autre lignée mafieuse.
Entre eux, le jeu du pouvoir est intense, chargé d’une tension électrique et charnelle. Elena refuse d’être une simple pionne, défiant Adriano avec fierté et audace, même si leur attirance mutuelle rend le combat plus complexe et dangereux. Sous la surveillance constante de la famille ennemie, Elena navigue entre défiance et désir, déterminée à ne pas perdre son indépendance dans cette guerre froide où chaque regard, chaque silence pèse lourd.
La nuit, loin du regard des autres, leur duel silencieux s’intensifie, mêlant provocation, menace et une faim inavouée. Dans ce pacte de sang, la paix promise se mêle à un chaos intérieur brûlant, où la frontière entre ennemis et amants devient terriblement floue.
Les talons d’Elena claquent sur le marbre de la villa romaine, aussi aiguisés que sa colère contenue.
Deux gardes la suivent à distance. Elle n’a pas besoin d’eux. Si elle voulait fuir, ce n’est pas eux qui l’arrêteraient. Mais elle ne fuit pas. Pas encore.La chaleur de la capitale colle à sa peau comme un gant d’oppression. Elle aurait préféré rester à Palerme, loin de cette farce. Une négociation de paix entre deux familles qui s’entretuent depuis trente ans ? Une mascarade. Et elle en est la monnaie d’échange.
— Elena, reste calme, lui avait dit son père. Sois belle, sois polie, et surtout, obéis.
Elle n’avait rien répondu. Elle avait seulement fixé ce patriarche froid qui croyait encore pouvoir la manipuler.
Dans le grand salon, tout est silence et luxe discret. Canapés en cuir sombre, rideaux de velours bleu nuit, cristal taillé sur la table basse. Et un homme.
Il se lève à son entrée.
Adriano Esposito.
Il est plus jeune qu’elle ne l’imaginait. Trente ans, peut-être. L’air d’un prince noir sorti d’un cauchemar : cheveux sombres, mâchoire sculptée, chemise blanche retroussée aux avant-bras, révélant une montre en or massif et un tatouage discret remontant le long du poignet.
Ses yeux la déshabillent sans la moindre pudeur.
— Signorina Moretti, murmure-t-il en italien, sa voix grave comme un murmure de menace. On m’avait dit que vous étiez… redoutable.
Elle soutient son regard. Fière. Provocante.
— Et moi, on m’avait dit que vous étiez mort.
Un sourire glisse sur ses lèvres. Lent. Prédateur.
— Je le suis peut-être. Mais ce soir, je suis assez vivant pour vous offrir un verre. Vin ? Whisky ? Ou vous préférez mordre dès le premier échange ?
Elle s’avance. Lentement. Jusqu’à pouvoir sentir son parfum : ambre, cuir, pouvoir.
— J’ai pas soif. J’ai juste envie de savoir pourquoi vous m’avez fait venir ici.
— La paix, Elena. La paix ou le chaos. On a le choix.
Elle ricane.
— Ce n’est pas à moi qu’il faut dire ça. C’est à mon père.
— Non. C’est à toi. Parce que c’est toi qu’il a envoyée. Et parce que c’est toi que je veux entendre dire “oui”.
Il se rapproche. D’un pas. Puis deux.
Elle ne recule pas.
Un frisson la traverse, malgré elle. Elle se déteste de sentir son cœur accélérer. Pas à cause de la peur. Non. À cause de cette tension fébrile. Cette énergie animale qui pulse entre eux, dense, trouble, magnétique.
— Et si je dis non ? souffle-t-elle.
Il penche la tête. Son regard descend lentement sur sa bouche.
— Alors, on négociera autrement.
Le silence se tend, brutal.
Elle devrait claquer la porte. Hurler qu’elle n’est pas un pion. Qu’elle ne se couche pas devant un ennemi.
Mais au lieu de ça, elle s’approche encore.
Ses doigts frôlent l’accoudoir du canapé, comme si elle cherchait un point d’ancrage. Il ne la touche pas. Il n’a pas besoin. Son regard la touche déjà.
— Vous croyez m’impressionner ? lâche-t-elle dans un souffle.
— Non. Je crois que vous êtes déjà impressionnée. Et que vous me détestez autant que vous avez envie de me goûter.
Elle le giflerait. S’il avait tort.
Mais il a raison.
Et ça, c’est plus dangereux que toutes les armes qu’il pourrait brandir.
Parfait. Voici le Chapitre 2 de Dans les bras de l’ennemi. Il est long, charnel, tendu un jeu de domination feutrée, de regards trop brûlants, de silences trop lourds. Rien n’explose encore… mais tout menace d’imploser.Damien shifted into his human form and raced toward the forest where the portal was. Arriving at the wolf world, he let out a loud howl, it was a summon of wolves and thus alerted every wolf of his presence, it got people filled with great fear and letting his wolf take full control; he retreated to the deepest part.With Nora’s faint scent, his wolf decided to find her while trying to mindlink her. He kept calling her but got no response which made him race faster through the forest.His heart was filled with worry at the thought of what they could’ve done to her.Nora on the other hand had woken up from her slumber to see Alejandro trying to touch her. She moved away instantly and he snarled at her. “Do you wish to lose your children?” He thundered and she felt Nyx taking over as she sniffed the air for their scent, trying to know if they were around but surprisingly, she couldn’t scent them.It filled her with fear but at the same time it alerted her that she could shift into her
Aaron who had stumbled upon Rachel when she was being dragged followed them subtly, after confirming the location, he decided to return to the pack, knowing he didn’t have enough backup to take them.Arriving at the pack, he saw Seyrif who was just returning from the borders. They had been attacked and he had left his investigations to go fight.“You have found alpha Damien?” He demanded, his eyes glowing with delight and Aaron lowered his voice.“I’ve found where he is being held, we need to act fast and quietly, they know that I’m trying to find them and the only person who could’ve given me information was caught before we could talk. It’s best now if we take an army; attack them and get the Alpha out.” He replied and Seyric nodded. “I’ll instruct the guards to prepare for the battle; there’s no telling what we’ll meet so I’ll tell everyone to go.” Seyric suggested and Aaron shook his head.“If we leave, they’ll know we have found them and they’ll attack the pack. We can’t leave t
“I’m leaving, I need to visit a few friends.” Rachel announced and Andrew stared at her with suspicions in his eyes while Luke shrugged.“Yesterday you never said anything about going out.” He pointed out and she smiled faintly, swallowing hard.“I’ve decided to get a few drinks with the girls. I didn’t plan on it but I need the fresh air.” She replied.“The girls? Aren’t Kelly and Ava out of the country?” He pointed out and she frowned.“How many friends do you think I have? Just two? Do you think I’m like you who has nobody but the family?” She replied, trying to sound as convincing as possible.“That’s enough, if she wants to go out and have fun, she’s free, why do you keep asking her questions?” Luke interrupted and she exhaled deeply, happy for the intervention.“Something doesn’t feel right, she was with the damned wolf when we left and we all know she likes him… It better not be what I’m thinking.” He replied and she paled while feigning shock and anger.“Wow… We’re family yet
DamienAndrew walked in, holding another drug and my stomach clenched at the thought of what disgusting thing he had done again.“This is better than the old, if this doesn’t work then you’re the problem…” He pointed out and I stared at him blankly, unable to say anything. I desperately wanted to ask about the kids because only the goddess knew how long it was that they had been taken away.“Say something you bastard!” He snapped.“My… My kids…” I whispered and he rolled his eyes.“You’ll see them when I’m done with you, until then, your ability to cooperate will determine whether they’ll live or not.” He replied and I exhaled deeply, my heart plunging with great pain.Luke and Rachel walked inside and my eyes widened with shock. I couldn’t believe she was a part of this conspiracy and for a moment, I couldn’t stop staring at her.Her lips quivered in shock and I could smell her fears. It was evident that she didn’t want to be here and her eyes were filled with pity for me.
Nora laid on the floor and watched as a nanny attended to the kids, her heart went out for them because they were sobbing profusely.“Please can I have them?” She pleaded for the tenth time in a row and Alejandro walked in. He was filled with anger to find the children still crying.“Ugh! Don’t these little bastards ever shut their mouths?” He snapped at the Nanny who was shivering with fear.“I’ve tried everything but they’re not stopping any time soon. I tried to feed them but they keep rejecting the food.” She explained with a shaky voice and he scoffed.“Stubborn! Just like their damnned mother!” He barked as walked over and grabbed my hair.“When is your period going to be over?” He asked, his face dangerously close to mine and I shivered with fear, my heart pounding heavily.“In… T… Five days…” I muttered and he sneered.“I’ll come check you after three days and you better not be lying to me because I would skin you alive, understood?” He asked and I nodded my head hastily. He
Damien“Look at them… Cute little babies.” Luke whispered as he tickled Antonio and I growled, rising as panic surged through my veins.“Don’t touch them… Do not hurt them.” I pleaded, going on my knees and he chuckled.“Why would I hurt innocent babies? What do you think I am, a monster?” He demanded as he burst into laughter and I exhaled deeply, slightly pleased that the children wouldn’t be hurt although I was still restless that they were in such an environment.“What are their names?”“Please return them back to their mother… They’re still young and they’re separated.” I pleaded and he smiled.“Your daughter is so beautiful and your son is handsome… Your bride must be beautiful.” He complimented and I almost smiled, Nora was a goddess.“What are their names?” He demanded and I didn’t say a word, my gaze was focused on Arabella who was sleeping peacefully while Antonio had a calm look like he could understand what was happening here.“Please, keep them out of this.” I
