An Honest Lie

Neil Jackson's true love steals highly radioactive materials, but I'm the one who's facing a jail sentence. I find the thief, but Lorraine Larsen refuses to own up to her crimes. Even my longtime boyfriend refuses to act as a witness for me. All he wants to do is send me to jail. It's too bad they don't know I'm a researcher at the nation's secret research center. They also have no idea that they've stolen highly radioactive materials—they can easily be killed by those.

Mon Alpha destiné veut gâter sa maîtresse Vivianne en la faisant passer pour la Luna pendant un temps. Alors, il prétend avoir perdu notre lien et refuse même d'admettre que je suis sa Luna. En passant devant le bureau, j'entends la voix mielleuse de Vivianne : « Mon amour, si je joue le rôle de la Luna, tu pourras aussi me marquer chaque nuit ? Mais… Sophia ne va pas se douter de quelque chose ? Vous êtes partenaires depuis cinq ans, après tout. » « Que pourrait-elle faire ? Elle ne peut pas quitter la meute, et encore moins me quitter. », ricane Éthan. « Sophia ? Cette idiote. Je lui ai dit que notre lien s'était rompu, et elle a vraiment cru que nous n'étions plus liés. Même si elle découvrait la vérité, elle se contenterait de me céder le titre de Luna et retournerait s'occuper de ses potions. La seule Luna dans mon cœur, c'est toi, ma chérie. » Je m'arrête net. Je ne le dénonce pas. Une douleur aiguë me traverse tandis que notre lien de partenaires s'affaiblit. Je me retourne et m'en vais. Qu'ils croient à leur petit plan parfait. Ils découvriront bientôt la belle surprise que cette « idiote » leur réserve.

"Kai, please," Jenna tried one last time, grabbing at his arm. "Please don't hurt him. If you want to punish someone, it should be me." "Foolish girl." Kai laughed. "I AM punishing you."

Can she find a way to melt his cold heart, or will she be crushed by Kai or one of his numerous enemies before she can get the chance?

Les ennemis des parents de ma sœur adoptive m'ont prise pour elle et m'ont enlevée. Avant que les voyous ne m'aient tuée, ils m'ont accordé trois appels pour demander de l'aide. Si quelqu'un acceptait de me donner trois cents euros, je pourrais vivre. Pour le premier appel, j'ai composé le numéro de mon père. Mon père n'a écouté aucun mot que j'ai dit. Il a immédiatement lâché un torrent d'injures. « Où es-tu ? Reviens à la maison tout de suite pour l'anniversaire de ta sœur ! » Pour le deuxième appel, j'ai appelé mon frère. Mon frère a écouté en silence ma supplication, puis il a raccroché avec un reniflement glacé. « Tu n'es jamais là quand la meute a besoin de toi. Qui va croire à cette comédie maintenant ? » Pour le troisième appel, j'ai appelé mon fiancé. Il n'a même pas répondu. Quand j'ai rappelé, il m'a bloquée. Le loup renégat a ri de moi. « On dirait qu'être la fille aînée de la famille des Thomas ne signifie pas grand-chose, hein ? » Après qu'il m'a torturée à mort, il a fourré mon corps dans une valise et l'a jetée dans la rivière.

Ich war fünf Jahre lang mit Matteo verheiratet – dem Don der Familie Lamberti. Niemand wusste, dass ich seine Frau war. Ich wollte weder Privilegien noch Aufmerksamkeit und blieb deshalb im Verborgenen. Wir waren verliebt. Jeden Tag fühlte es sich an wie am Anfang. Dann zerstörte mein erster Tag im neuen Krankenhaus alles. „Frau Accardi, das glauben Sie nie.“ Eine Kollegin beugte sich zu mir, breit grinsend. „Raten Sie mal, wer der Ehemann der neuen Patientin ist? Matteo Lamberti höchstpersönlich.“ Ich erstarrte. Wenn sie seine Frau war – wer war dann ich? Sie war schwanger. Sie trug den künftigen Lamberti-Erben. Was machte das dann aus dem Baby in mir? Ich hielt die Fassade aufrecht. Ich führte die Untersuchung durch und spielte die ruhige, kompetente Ärztin. Niemand bemerkte die Panik, die an mir zerrte. Ich redete mir ein, dass es nur Klatsch war. Nichts als Lügen. Es musste so sein. Dann hörte ich, wie Matteo sie „meine Prinzessin“ nannte. Das war es. Er hatte eine neue Prinzessin. Und ich musste ihn loslassen.

I push through my Gamma warrior training ahead of schedule just to get back to the pack sooner. All I want is to stand beside my Alpha, Kyle Faucher, and finally complete our mate-bonding ceremony. But when I step into our house, scarred and feeling hopeful, I see 100 old boarding passes to the Darkmoon pack littering the floor. That pack is only a mile from my training grounds. Kyle's been that close for two years, and still, he never came. I sprint to the place where we were supposed to have our mate-bonding ceremony, clinging to the desperate hope that there's an explanation. But the moment I burst through the doors, I stopped cold. Kyle is down on one knee, dressed in a tailored suit, his eyes locked on someone with a softness I've never seen in him before. Standing across from him, smiling through her tears, is my stepsister, Vivian Blackwell. "Vivian, I haven't completed the mate-bonding ceremony with Serene. Say the word, and I'll reject her and mark you right now." At that moment, the world goes still, and I even forgot how to breathe. So this is what he's been doing while I was gone, chasing the woman he never let go of. Meanwhile, I spent those two years giving everything I had, trying to become someone worthy of standing by his side. I don't ask why or shed a tear. I just turn around and walk away. If she's what he wants, then so be it. The mate-bonding ceremony I dreamed of will be theirs instead. But the second I'm gone, he loses it and sends every warrior looking for me.

My superior loved tricking me into wearing tight-fitting pencil skirts to serve wine to sleazy clients while sticking close to them. Then, she would hint that I was single and a valid target while she excitedly waited for the clients to make a move on me. It was all in the name of checking the integrity of the clients and whether they were worthy business partners or not. The moment a client fell for it, she would rush over with righteous anger and throw wine in their faces. Then, she would lecture me with a voice heavy with anguish. “Do you lack money so much that you’d throw your dignity away just for better results?” She would trample all over my dignity to set up her image as a refined, noble woman. This time, she even prepared a gown with a super low neckline and pushed me to serve a client with a rich and powerful background. She threatened me by saying that if I did not go, she would deduct my bonus for three whole months of full attendance. But when I saw the familiar, cold man sitting in the seat of honor, it was my turn to laugh. If my brother saw me serving wine in this kind of dress, I did not doubt that by tomorrow, the company would be under my name.
