A Memory Called Empire

When my husband returned home to visit his parents, I noticed that he forgot to bring back the specialties he had bought. I ran after him, only to find him getting out of a car in a suit. His childhood friend stepped forward to welcome him. They held hands and smiled as they looked into each other’s eyes. They looked like a happy, newlywed couple. Only when my husband saw me standing not too far away did he hurriedly distance himself from his childhood friend. “Her mother’s critically ill, and her mother’s only wish is to see her get married. I’m just helping her.” I simply smiled. I pushed him right back to his childhood friend’s side and started cheering with everyone else. “When’s the baby coming?! I’ll be sure to wrap a nice gift!”

Louisa Forge didn’t choose this. She was handed over like a bargaining chip — marked by an Alpha she despises, installed in a pack house that doesn’t want her, bound to a man who locks her in her room and calls it mercy. Kaelen is everything a wolf shouldn’t be: cruel, reckless, and hungry for a power he hasn’t earned. But the pack house has another occupant. Julian — former Alpha, widower, a man who has been quietly starving himself to death since the loss of his mate — is supposed to be irrelevant. A ghost in the east wing. Instead he’s the one who checks on her in the night, who brings her sedatives for the pain, who laughs with her over terrible soup until the whole dining room forgets to be miserable. He’s also the one who tells her, very clearly, that what happened between them during her heat meant nothing. He’s lying. They both know it. Caught between a mate bond she never consented to and a connection she can’t name, Louisa is doing what she does best — surviving. She’s building alliances in quiet corners, winning loyalty one small kindness at a time, and carrying a secret that could burn everything to the ground. Because the heir Kaelen is so desperate to claim? It isn’t his.

"You don’t know what you’re playing with." He murmured, His hand traced a slow path down my arm, fingers firm but deliberate, sending a shiver straight to my core. "You are scared" “I’m not.” I whispered. He smiled. “You should be.” Before I could think, he closed the distance, his lips crashing onto mine, rough, urgent, claiming and fierce, consuming fire of his touch. "I can't stop. I don't won't to." Then he claimed my lips again. And soon, my lips moved. I was kissing back. This shouldn’t be happening. Just then footsteps echoed. “Rylan—stop, someone’s coming—” But his hands only gripped my waist tighter, holding me still. he whispered. “Let them. I don’t care.” then his lips crashed against mine, harder. I tried turning away but he grabbed my neck and stuck his tongue into my mouth. "Rylan please." my eyes dart to the door. "Stop." I struggled. His hand slipped down to grab my ass. Squeezing it tightly. "If you weren't wearing a jean, I would have stuck my fingers right into your holes. Fuck." He hissed then continued.

« Tu ne sais pas à quoi tu t'attaques » Sa main traça lentement le long de mon bras, ses doigts-fermes mais déterminés, me faisant frissonner jusqu'au plus profond de moi-même. « Tu as peur. » « Pas du tout » chuchotai-je. Il sourit. « Tu devrais. » Avant même que je puisse réfléchir, il combla la distance-qui nous séparait, ses lèvres s'écrasant sur les miennes. Un baiser-rude, urgent, possessif et féroce, une brûlure dévorante. « Je ne peux pas m'arrêter. Je ne veux pas. » Puis il s'empara de nouveau de mes lèvres. Et bientôt, les-miennes bougèrent. Je lui rendais son baiser. Ça ne devrait pas arriver. Soudain, des pas-résonnèrent. « Rylan-arrête, quelqu'un-» Mais ses mains se-resserrèrent sur ma taille, m'immobilisant. « Qu'ils viennent. Je m'en fiche. » Puis ses lèvres s'écrasèrent contre les miennes, plus fort. J'ai tenté de me détourner, mais il m'a attrapée par le cou et m'a enfoncé sa langue-dans la bouche. « Rylan, s'il te plaît… » Mes yeux se sont tournés vers la porte. « Arrête ! » J'ai lutté. Sa main a glissé jusqu'à mes fesses, les serrant fort. « Si tu n'avais pas porté de jean, je t'aurais déjà enfoncé les doigts dans tous les trous.
