"I, Zade Matthews, Alpha of the High-claw pack, reject you, Sierra Whitmore, to be my mate and Luna to my pack. You are to work here and obey every command and to accept my rejection" Nobody wants to hear the word rejection. Especially when you're not even strong enough to handle the aftermath of it. At 18, I had just got my wolf, Mina. I was not supposed to mate with an Alpha. I'm an Omega living an Omega life. But the moon-goddess had other ideas, and I was mated to the cruellest of Alphas there is. I'm what they would call a slave to the pack. In other words. I was dispensable if they didn't want or need me. So, when I was invited for breakfast with the Alpha, my mate, I should have taken that as my first red flag. I have never eaten with them. Even when my parents were alive. 6 Years later, just after my 24th birthday, the mate-less Gala was just around the corner once again, and I was tired. Emotionally and physically tired. I had nothing to live for. I had nothing to hope for. Every Omega knows they don't get a second chance at love and every omega had to accept that. That was simply our fate. So, being assigned to accommodate Alpha Nikolai's room was not one of my top things to enjoy, but here I was. Five minutes was all I wanted to have to myself when cleaning the room on the very top floor for the Alpha of all Alphas, so I stopped and sat down to rest my aching body. And cried. Only...the scent of all scents hits me. His scent. Alpha Nikolai Anderson. He doesn't know me, but he chooses to love me. He chooses me.

Amara, haletante et presque au bord de la rupture, elle murmura : — Valerio... je… putain, je ne peux pas... c’est... trop... Alors que je murmurais ces mots, le souffle coupé, il m'attrapa fermement les poignets, me forçant à les maintenir derrière mon dos. Sans hésiter, il continua de me pénétrer avec une intensité implacable, me consumant totalement dans cette étreinte brûlante qui semblait n’avoir aucune fin. — Ma douce, tu es tellement parfaite pour moi, tu le sais ? Tu vas jouir pour moi, amore ? me murmura-t-il avec une voix basse et rauque, tout en laissant sa main descendre doucement pour stimuler mon clitoris. Mes gémissements étouffés se perdaient dans l’oreiller. Il relâche mes poignets pour saisir mes cheveux, s’approchant pour me chuchoter à l’oreille : — Crie pour moi, Amara. Fais savoir à ton fiancé à quel point je te fais du bien dans son propre lit. Et c’est exactement ce que je fais. ------ **Amara Wilson** Je suis une jeune femme de 22 ans marquée par un passé douloureux.
