There is no way in hell I’m going to let that happen. We need Miller's family if we are going to thrive in this new business, and you seem like the perfect match for the family. Jane, we have served you through all these years since you were abandoned by your biological mother. Now is the time. We need your help. Just marry this boy and let’s get this over with” Mrs. Brookes said unremorseful.

Will she accept this proposal? Will this plan work between Jane and her mother-in-law without Justin himself finding out? Let’s find out in this captivating and intriguing story…………

***
He sniffs the air, then his blue eyes meet mine and shimmered that deep crimson again. As soon as our eyes meet, I feel something similar to a string pulling taut. My core throbs with a need I have never felt before as his eyes bore into mine. My heart pounds like a drumline in my chest, so loud that I am sure he could hear it. He bares his fangs in a delicious, devious grin and walks towards me, his stare knocking the wind out of me. It takes everything in me to not go to him and throw myself at his feet in submission. What was this? Why did I feel attracted to him, even when he had just ripped a young Betas throat out? He then lifts his hand and points to me. “I've come to claim my mate.”
His words brought me back to reality at a screeching halt. HIS WHAT?!

Mon mari m'a trompée quand j'étais enceinte
Branche Flamboyante
Le troisième jour de mon confinement postnatal, mon mari prétendait qu’il devait partir en voyage d’affaires en urgence, me laissant seule pour m’occuper du bébé.
Trois jours plus tard, lorsque j’ai été hospitalisée, j’ai vu une photo de famille sur les réseaux sociaux, publiée par l’amie d’enfance de mon mari, avec la légende :
« Photo prise en voyage, une famille heureuse de trois. »
Sur la photo, mon mari s’est affiché tout sourire. Fort surprise, j’ai commenté par un point d’interrogation.
Il m’a immédiatement appelée pour me réprimander :
« Elle est une pauvre mère célibataire, sans homme pour s’occuper d’elle. Cette photo ne signifie rien. Ne sois pas mesquine ! »
Le soir, son amie d’enfance a posté une nouvelle photo : un ensemble de trois bijoux en or d’une valeur de plusieurs millions.
« Après la photo de famille, il a insisté pour m’offrir ces magnifiques bijoux. »
C’était un cadeau pour faire plaisir à sa maîtresse, je le savais bien.
Enfin, j’ai décidé de quitter mon mari.

***Excerpt***
“F*ck me, Adonis.” I gasped against his shoulder, helplessly pressed into him as he rocked my body slowly with his slow, hard grinding. He yanked his hand off my ass forcefully, and the thong snapped. The sound and the smack of it against my skin made me shudder, almost cumming. He pulled the black thong away from me, the small fabric slick with my juices, and stuffed it in my open mouth. I groaned, hearing the tortured sound of my own groan muffled by my panties slick with my own wet. And I moaned again.
“So many fucking things I wanna do to your body, Leilani.” He growled, “I’m gonna f*ck you so hard.” He said, gazing sinfully into my eyes as he said those maddening words and slid his erect cock out of his grey sweatpants. My vagina clenched, spilling more moisture. Then he parted my legs even wider and plunged his cock into my vagina.
Deep. Wet. Hard.

So I take my anger out on any poor bastard put in the steel ring with me. It calms me, but only for a few hours; because blood-red rage follows me everywhere I go.
It follows me into the cage the night I'm pitted against an opponent half my size.
An opponent with a bigger chest than your average gym buff.
A woman...
I think I'm doing the right thing by refusing the fight because I know this woman will meet Death at my hands. That is, until my wolf growls the word I never expected to hear in the middle of a fight.
MATE.
With a name as sweet as her scent and a right hook to match, I know I can't accept Cherie as my mate. Not with the beast I inherited from my tainted bloodline - a Lycan with a thirst for blood…
So do I reject sweet Cherie to protect her, or do I indulge in the whims of my beast and claim her?

Fate, it seems, holds a twisted sense of mercy.

I aim higher, daring to entangle my fate with his enemy, Alpha Niklaus King, a man as dangerous as he is ruthless.
It's supposed to be a game, a strategy to topple Lucan from his throne. I didn't anticipate the fire Niklaus would ignite in my soul, a passion fierce and consuming. As I grow closer to him, the lines blur; my heart, once set on revenge, now beats a different rhythm. Torn between the past's shadows and a future that's as uncertain as it is thrilling, I find myself questioning everything.
