Alma Gêmea

“My husband got his mistress pregnant… so I handed him the divorce papers.” Three years of silence. Three years of contempt. Three years living in the shadow of a man who loved someone else. Rachelle Veronesi, heiress to a fashion empire, fulfilled her end of the bargain: she was the perfect wife to Nikolai Santoro. She endured his humiliations, his cold absences, and the constant presence of Micah—the childhood friend he always chose over her. But the illusion shatters during a family dinner when Micah announces her pregnancy. Rachelle doesn’t cry. She doesn’t beg. She walks away. With nothing but her name and her power, she reclaims her place at the top of the fashion world—stronger, colder, untouchable. Nikolai believes she’ll come crawling back. He thinks she’s nothing without him. He couldn’t be more wrong. Because as Rachelle rises, he begins to uncover the truth: the woman he trusted has been lying to him… and the child she carries isn’t even his. Now, with only three months left before the divorce is final, Nikolai is forced to face the one truth he never wanted to admit— He didn’t lose a convenient wife. He lost the only woman who ever truly loved him. And this time… she’s not coming back.

One night. One witness. One life-changing mistake. I was never supposed to be in that alley. I was never supposed to see Ruan "Reaper" Montague, the cold-blooded president of the Iron Skulls MC, execute a traitor. Now, the man with the silver eyes and tattooed skin has a Choice: kill me to protect his club, or keep me to satisfy his darkest desires. I thought I’d be his prisoner, but Reaper has other plans. In his world, there are no laws, only his word. He hasn't just taken my freedom; he has claimed my soul. I’m the girl who saw too much, and he’s the monster who won't let me go. I am no longer a witness... I am his property.

Two bloodlines. One forbidden hybrid. A bond that could save the pack—or ignite a war. For twenty years, Yesnia “Jesse” Amador has been a ghost in the foster care system, moving from one cold home to the next, haunted by "nightmares" of golden eyes and ancient forests. She thought she was just a girl with a troubled past, until a shortcut through the Texas woods brings her face-to-face with a massive, tawny wolf—and a power she was never meant to wake. Kyle, the formidable heir to the Medina River Pack, has spent his life waiting for his other half. When he finds Jesse, the Mate Bond doesn't just spark—it roars. As matching tribal marks burn into their skin, Jesse learns a terrifying truth: she isn't just a wolf shifter. She is a hybrid, the secret daughter of a high-ranking wolf and a powerful Coven witch. Her mother’s final act was a binding spell to hide her from the High Coven, a radical faction that views her existence as an abomination. But now the seal is broken. Jesse's scent is out, and the hunters are closing in. Swept into the luxury and danger of the Pack Estate, Jesse must survive the Trial of the River and claim her place as Luna. With a protector like Kyle at her side, she finally has a home to fight for—if her dual heritage doesn't tear the world apart first.

Eliah Calder, jeune étudiante accusée d’un crime qu’elle n’a pas commis, est internée dans un lieu hors du monde : Eden Noir, un institut psychiatrique secret, conçu pour des "patients sans remède". Mais derrière les murs, rien ne ressemble à un hôpital. C’est un laboratoire. Une prison blanche. Un théâtre de contrôle mental. Et surtout, il y a Caïn Morgenstern, directeur charismatique, glaçant, manipulateur de génie. Il ne soigne pas : il expérimente. Il dissèque l’âme humaine. Et Eliah devient son sujet favori. Sa faiblesse. Son terrain de jeu. Sauf qu’elle refuse de plier. Ce qui devait être une descente… devient une guerre. Entre deux esprits. Deux corps. Deux monstres en miroir. Entre manipulation et attraction, douleur et dépendance, Eliah va comprendre qu’elle n’a jamais été choisie au hasard. Elle est le cœur d’un projet plus vaste. Et Caïn, peut-être, ne l’a jamais vraiment possédée.

Raina Wycliffe pensait que les monstres du folklore local n'étaient que des histoires, jusqu'à ce qu'elle découvre le corps. Déchiqueté. Vidé de son sang. Désormais, les vampires arpentent à nouveau les rues de Windshade Hollow, et l'un d'eux semble la connaître. Il est rapide, terrifiant et étrangement familier. Mais lorsqu'il goûte à son sang et recule de douleur, Raina réalise qu'elle pourrait être tout autre chose — une créature que même les morts-vivants redoutent. Alors que de plus en plus de notables sont retrouvés morts et que sa ville s'enfonce dans les ténèbres, Raina se retrouve traquée par des créatures qui ne devraient pas exister, protégée par un vampire qui ne se fait pas confiance en sa présence, et hantée par un passé dont elle ne se souvient pas. Quoi qu'elle soit, c'est en train de s'éveiller. Et c'est affamé.

Cumplía años y mi esposo, Don Damián, me regaló el collar de perlas de su difunta esposa. Me lo puse para la cena. Mi hijastro, León, enfurecido, me arrojó vino tinto encima. Fui el hazmerreír de toda la fiesta. —¡Maldita! —me dijo entre dientes—. ¿Acaso crees que por ponerte las joyas de mi mamá vas a poder reemplazarla? Me clavó una mirada gélida. Y luego gritó: —¡Lárgate de mi casa! Pero su madre murió cuando él era un bebé. Fui yo quien lo crio. Alguien le metió cizaña. Le dijeron que yo había matado a su madre. Ahora cree que soy una víbora que engatusó a su padre. ¿Y su padre? ¿Mi esposo? Él nunca me vio realmente. Solo veía el fantasma de Cristal. No se me rompió el corazón… ¡se hizo añicos! No me amaron. Ni siquiera me tomaron en cuenta. Así que me fui. Entonces, ¿por qué, cuando por fin me había ido, volvieron de rodillas, suplicándome que volviera?

J'étais mariée à Victor Hérault pendant huit ans. Il a ramené quatre-vingt-dix-neuf femmes à la maison. Et ce soir, je regardais la centième. Une fille jeune, arrogante. Elle m'a jeté un regard provocateur avant de se tourner vers lui : « Victor, c'est ta femme inutile, celle-là ? » Il s'est affalé contre le dossier de son fauteuil et a répondu d'un ton paresseux. « Oui. » La fille s'est approchée de moi, m'a donné une tape sur la joue et a souri : « Ce soir, tu vas découvrir ce qu'une vraie femme sait faire ! » Ce soir-là, j'ai été forcée d'écouter leurs gémissements toute la nuit, dans le salon. Le lendemain matin, comme si de rien n'était, Victor m'a demandé de préparer le petit déjeuner. Je l'ai refusé. Il semblait oublier que notre mariage n'a jamais été d'amour, mais un simple contrat. Et aujourd'hui, c'était le troisième jour avant la fin de ce contrat.
