Lors d'un dîner de famille, ma mère m'a tendu des photos d'hommes et m'a demandé avec lequel je souhaitais contracter un mariage arrangé. Dans ma vie actuelle, au lieu de choisir la photo de Benoit, j'ai sorti une autre de mon sac. Sur cette photo figurait Charlie Gautier, l'oncle de Benoit, mais surtout, le véritable chef de famille Gautier. Ma mère a été stupéfaite. Après tout, j'étais amoureuse de Benoit pendant de nombreuses années. Pourtant, elle ignorait que dans ma vie antérieure, j'avais épousé Benoit et il rentrait rare à la maison. Je pensais qu'il avait un emploi du temps chargé et je m'étais toujours reprochée pour son indifférence. Le jour de notre vingtième anniversaire de mariage, par accident, j'avais brisé la boîte qu'il gardait précieusement sous clé depuis des années. J'avais alors découvert que la femme qu'il aimait depuis toujours était ma sœur. S'il rentrait rare à la maison, c'était simplement parce qu'il ne voulait pas me voir. Mais lors de mon mariage, voyant que Charlie et moi avons échangé les alliances, Benoit a perdu complètement la raison.

Dans un monde où les meutes gouvernent dans l’ombre et où les lignées dictent la loyauté, Sélène n’a ni nom reconnu, ni héritage déclaré.

Kael Vance arrives at the academy with one goal: survive long enough to uncover the truth behind his family’s mysterious downfall. Cold, calculating, and fiercely independent, Kael trusts no one. In a place where alliances shift like shadows and betrayal lurks behind every smile, he quickly earns a reputation as someone not to be underestimated. But his carefully built walls begin to crack the moment he crosses paths with Lucien Draven. Lucien is everything Kael despises—privileged, powerful, and dangerously perceptive. As the heir to the influential Draven bloodline, Lucien moves through the academy with quiet authority and lethal precision. He sees through Kael’s defenses almost instantly, sparking a rivalry that quickly turns into something far more complicated. Their clashes are intense, both on and off the training grounds, each encounter laced with tension, pride, and an undeniable pull neither of them is willing to acknowledge. As deadly trials push students beyond their limits, Kael and Lucien are forced into close proximity, their survival depending on cooperation rather than conflict. Secrets begin to unravel—about the academy, their families, and hidden force manipulating events from the shadows. Kael discovers that his past is deeply intertwined with the Draven legacy, and Lucien is not as untouchable as he seems. What begins as hatred slowly transforms into a fragile, dangerous bond—one built on shared pain, unspoken truths, and forbidden desire. But in a world where emotions are exploited as weapons, loving the wrong person could be ultimate weakness. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, Kael and Lucien must decide whether to cling to their pride or trust each other enough to survive darkness closing in around them. Because at Draven Academy, the sharpest blades aren’t always made of steel-and the deepest wounds are carved by those you dare to love.

Cold, dominant, and feared, Xavier harbors a deep resentment for his step-sister, Alexa. To him, she is a reminder of a family bond he never asked for, a fragile presence in a world that respects only strength. He keeps his distance, masking buried emotions with cruelty and indifference.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict.

Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.

Ça faisait sept ans que j'étais avec André Gaudreau, mon fiancé, chirurgien. On avait organisé 66 mariages, mais à chaque fois, il avait tout annulé à cause de Célia Allard. La première fois, Célia avait fait une erreur de dosage à un patient. Il m'avait dit d'attendre son retour. Je l'avais attendu toute la journée. La deuxième fois, Célia était tombée dans sa douche. On était sur le point d'échanger les alliances, mais il était parti sans hésiter, me laissant face aux rires des invités. On avait enchaîné 65 cérémonies. À chaque fois, Célia trouvait une excuse pour le faire partir. La 65e fois ? Son chien était soi-disant mourant, et elle menaçait de se suicider. Ma mère avait failli faire une crise cardiaque de rage. Mais rien n'avait retenu André... Après, il était venu s'excuser à genoux. Il disait qu'il avait juste pitié pour Célia, parce qu'elle était orpheline. Que moi, j'étais la seule qu'il aimait vraiment. Je lui avais donné une dernière chance. Il m'avait encore déçue. J'ai définitivement tiré un trait et ai quitté André pour rejoindre une ONG médicale. « Désormais, inutile qu'on se revoie », me suis-je dit.
