Alice Twilight

At the age of twenty, I mated to my father's best friend, Lucian, the Alpha of Silverfang Pack despite our age difference. He was eight years older than me and was known in the pack as the cold-hearted King of Hell. He was ruthless in the pack and never got close to any she-wolves, but he was extremely gentle and sweet towards me. He would buy me the priceless Fangborn necklace the next day just because I casually said, "It looks good." When I curled up in bed in pain during my period, he would put aside Alpha councils and personally make pain suppressant for me, coaxing me to drink spoonful by spoonful. He would hug me tight when we mated, calling me "sweetheart" in a low and hoarse voice. He claimed I was so alluring that my body had him utterly addicted as if every curve were a narcotic he couldn't quit. He even named his most valuable antique Stormwolf Armour "For Elise". For years, I had believed it was to commemorate the melody I had played at the piano on our first encounter—the very tune that had sparked our love story. Until that day, I found an old photo album in his study. The album was full of photos of the same she-wolf. You wouldn’t believe this, but we looked like twin sisters! The she-wolf in one of the photos was playing the piano and smiling brightly. The back of the photo said, "For Elise." ... After discovering the truth, I immediately drafted a severance agreement to sever our mate bond. Since Lucian only cared about Elise, no way in hell I would be your Luna Alice anymore.

CRAVED is Book #10 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with Book #1, TURNED!

In CRAVED, 16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to find out exactly what she’s becoming. Her erratic behavior has alienated her new boyfriend, Blake, and she struggles to make amends, and to make him understand. But the problem is, she can barely understand herself what’s happening to her.

At the same time, the new boy in school, the mysterious Sage, comes into her life. Their paths keep intertwining, and although she tries to avoid it, he directly pursues her, despite the objections of her best friend, Maria, who has her own eyes set on Sage. Scarlet finds herself swept away by Sage, who takes her into his world, past the gates of his family’s historic river mansion. As their relationship deepens, she begins to learn more about his mysterious past, his family, and the secrets he must hold. They spend the most romantic time she can imagine, on a secluded island in the Hudson, and she is convinced she has found the true love of her life.

But then she is devastated to learn Sage’s biggest secret of all: he is not human, either, and he has only a few weeks left to live. Tragically, just at the moment when destiny has brought her greatest love, it also seems fated to tear them apart.

As Scarlet returns to the high school parties leading up to the big dance, she ends up in a huge falling-out with her friends, who excommunicate her from their group. At the same time, Vivian rounds up the popular girls to make her life hell, leading to an unavoidable confrontation. Scarlet’s forced to sneak out, making matters worse with her parents, and soon finds pressure building from all sides. The only light in her life is Sage. But he is still holding back some of his secrets, and Blake resurfaces, determined to pursue her.

Caitlin, meanwhile, is determined to find a way to reverse Scarlet’s vampirism. What she finds leads her on a journey to find the antidote, deep into the darkest corners of rare libraries and bookstores—and to an ancient discovery she can hardly imagine.

But it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming. She wants to be with Sage—but fate seems set on tearing them apart. As the book culminates in an action-packed and shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. How much is she willing to risk for love?

Dans la meute des Terres Boréales, une loi immuable interdisait à un Alpha de s'unir à une humaine. Pourtant, Kévin Volf a secrètement scellé le lien conjugal avec moi. Pour me garder à ses côtés, il a défié le Conseil des Sages, subi quatre-vingt-dix-neuf coups de fouet et s'est agenouillé trois jours entiers devant l'autel. Alors que le sang imbibait sa chemise, il me souriait encore : « Alice, n'aie pas peur. Toi, et rien que toi. » Plus tard, les Sages obstinés ont enfin cédé, acceptant notre fuite amoureuse. À une condition : qu'il donne à la meute un héritier de sang pur. Depuis ce jour, une phrase a rythmé nos vies : « Attends un peu. » La première fois, il m'a demandé d'attendre qu'il mette une louve enceinte. Trente-trois nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à ce qu'elle porte son enfant. La seconde fois, il a répété cette phrase, car la portée était une femelle, le clan exigeait un héritier mâle. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf nouvelles nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à la grossesse suivante. Au moment où je croyais toucher au but, leur fille, fraîchement baptisée, a ingéré par erreur de l'aconit. Tous m'ont accusée. Jetée dans une chambre froide à moins vingt degrés, j'ai vu mon Alpha bien-aimé, les yeux écarlates et le regard glaçant, me dire : « Je t'avais pourtant dit de patienter… Tu sais ce que l'aconit représente pour nous. Pourquoi as-tu voulu faire du mal à mon enfant ? » Son enfant ? Vraiment ? J'ai senti mon cœur se déchirer. Mes poings se sont serrés, les ongles entaillant cruellement mes paumes. Lorsque la porte du congélateur s'est rouverte, j'ai desserré mes mains ensanglantées et une décision était née : « L'attente, c'est terminé ! »

Ma mère était la Luna élue, celle qui avait autrefois conquis trois puissants Alphas. Une fois sa mission accomplie, elle a disparu de ce monde, ne laissant derrière elle que moi, et les trois Alphas qui l'avaient autrefois aimée de toute leur âme. Mon premier père, l'Alpha Julien Richard, dirigeait la tribu de Lune Argentée, assez riche pour acheter la moitié du continent. Mon deuxième père, l'Alpha Simon Laurent, commandait tous les guerriers de l'Alliance du Nord. Mon troisième père, l'Alpha Lucas Dubois, détenait toutes les ressources médicales dont les loups et les humains dépendaient. Pendant dix-huit ans, j'ai été leur petite princesse chérie. Ils me donnaient tout ce que je voulais, sans poser de questions, sans hésiter. Jusqu'à ce qu'ils ramènent à la maison cette fille, une orpheline fragile nommée Alice Moreau. À partir de ce jour, tout a changé. Elle leur a dit que je l'avais traitée de bâtarde sale, indigne de notre tribu. Elle a dit que j'avais demandé aux jeunes loups de l'école à la harceler. Elle a dit que j'avais saboté son costume de spectacle, que j'avais provoqué son allergie et que je l'avais fait s'évanouir sur scène. Et ils l'ont crue. Ils ont cessé de me croire. Pour la quatre-vingt-dix-neuvième fois, ils l'ont choisie elle plutôt que moi, quand ils ont crié : « Ne reviens plus jamais ! », je n'ai pas protesté. J'ai juste pris mes bagages et je suis partie. Ils ont pensé que je reviendrais à la maison comme avant et que ma disparition n'était qu'une autre façon d'attirer leur attention. Mais quand ils ont découvert que j'avais quitté la meute pour de bon, que mon identité avait été effacée, qu'ils ne pouvaient plus me retrouver, les trois puissants Alphas ont finalement craqué.

Ma plus grande erreur a été de tomber amoureuse de mon Alpha demi-frère, Julien Richard. J'avais douze ans quand ma mère s'est remariée, et il était le seul dans la nouvelle tribu qui me traitait avec gentillesse. Je suis tombée amoureuse de lui au premier regard. À seize ans, j'ai été attaquée par des loups renégats, et il en a combattu dix à lui seul pour me protéger. À dix-huit ans, il a été empoisonné par de l'argent. Il a failli mourir. C'est à ce moment-là que ma louve m'a dit qu'il était mon âme sœur. Sans hésiter, j'ai donné ma moelle osseuse pour le sauver. Cette nuit-là, en le regardant dormir, je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher d'embrasser le coin de ses lèvres. Il a ouvert les yeux à ce moment-là, son visage est devenu rouge. « Alice, nous sommes frère et sœur. Tu ne devrais pas franchir cette limite. » À partir de ce moment, il a commencé à m'éviter, comme si j'étais une erreur qu'il ne pouvait pas se permettre de commettre. Sa fiancée, Rose Moreau, avait été diagnostiquée avec une maladie sanguine rare, et j'étais la seule donneuse compatible. Pour la première fois, il m'a suppliée. Mais j'étais déjà affaiblie par la greffe de moelle. Donner mon sang pourrait me tuer. J'ai dit non, et Rose est finalement morte. Il n'a pas versé une seule larme, comme si de rien n'était. Mais aux funérailles de Rose, il a brisé le portrait que j'avais peint de lui devant tout le monde et a dit froidement : « Comme c'est répugnant de rêver d'être avec ton propre frère. » Plus tard, je suis devenue une honte, une risée de tous. L'humiliation et le désespoir m'ont engloutie tout entière et, dans un état second, je suis tombée dans le lac et me suis noyée. Quand j'ai ouvert à nouveau les yeux, j'étais de retour au moment où il m'a suppliée pour mon sang. J'ai dit oui avec calme. Je considérais cela comme la dernière dette que je devais à la famille Richard. Julien, à partir de maintenant, c'était fini. Il n'y avait plus aucun lien entre nous.
