Noël approche dans une petite ville enneigée. Élise, photographe solitaire, revient dans la maison familiale pour la première fois depuis la mort de sa mère. Elle n’est pas seule : à ses côtés, Noé, son fils de six ans, curieux et rêveur, dont les yeux semblent souvent chercher quelque chose ou quelqu’un. Tout lui semble figé : les guirlandes, la neige, les rires des autres. Rien ne la réchauffe vraiment. Un soir, au marché de Noël, elle croise Jonas, l’homme qu’elle a aimé autrefois. Celui qu’elle a fui sans un mot. Celui qu’elle a aimé assez fort pour le perdre. Le choc est silencieux, mais profond : un regard suffit. Jonas remarque la ressemblance entre Noé et lui, et un soupçon interdit germe dans son esprit. Le sourire, le regard, certains gestes , tout semble trop familier. Les jours suivants, la neige isole la ville. Jonas vient les voir sous prétexte d’aider, puis reste plus longtemps, trop longtemps. Entre eux, la tension renaît, la pudeur se fissure. Dans la maison glacée, au milieu des jouets et des souvenirs, la passion resurgit, brute et irrésistible , mêlant la tendresse d’hier à la douleur d’aujourd’hui. Chaque baiser, chaque étreinte est un mélange de désir et de culpabilité, car Jonas ne peut ignorer la possibilité que Noé soit son fils. Mais Jonas n’est pas revenu libre : il vit ailleurs, il va se marier. Élise sait qu’elle ne peut ni le retenir, ni lui révéler la vérité. Le silence devient leur complice, tandis que la neige tombe dehors et que Noé dort, ignorant tout. Au matin, Jonas s’en va. Noé se réveille et demande : — Il reviendra, le monsieur aux yeux tristes ? Élise sourit doucement, les yeux pleins d’eau. — Peut-être… quand la neige reviendra.

After Alicia is rejected by Alpha Eric, she runs away from the pack. Years later she gets another mate, Alpha Drake. However, war breaks out pitting her own brother against her mate. Alpha Eric is also involved, and maybe this is a good time for Alicia to revenge for what he did to her.

"I live miserable from the thought I killed my parents! All my life I was insulted, mocked, accused, and dethroned! And then, I discovered it was all done by my half-brother and your father?! Embrace yourself! I will wipe out all your kind," I roared. "You can't do it," A playful smirked form on my lips. "C'mon, darling... I can," "I thought you love me?" she asked while tears streaming down her face. I stopped in my trance and gulped hard. An excruciating pain kicked in inside my chest. "Yes! It's all fucking true! But hatred is much stronger than this shit feeling I felt for you! Today, you are nothing to me but a whore!" I spat, trying to fool myself. She burst into tears and held her chest that was aching. "Choose, William... Me or revenge?" she asked with her hopeful eyes. Instead of answering it, I stood firm and looked into her eyes intently. "I, Alpha King William, rejected you Mira to be my mate. Get ready... This town will bathe in blood." I heartlessly said before turning my back and leaving her in tears.

« Mademoiselle Elara, ceci confirme l'accord concernant votre mort mise en scène. Dans deux semaines, lors de la cérémonie de couronnement de Luna, votre décès sera simulé. Vous tomberez dans les rapides, et la cause officielle sera un empoisonnement à l'aconit. » Lorsque mon compagnon Alpha, Aiden, m'a abandonnée une fois de plus pour des affaires urgentes de la meute, j'ai trouvé un renégat sur le marché noir et j'ai signé l'accord de mort simulée sans la moindre hésitation. Le monde entier des loups-garous croyait qu'Alpha Aiden était follement amoureux de moi. Il jouait parfaitement son rôle, n'oubliant jamais d'embrasser mon front chaque fois qu'il partait. Mais moi seule savais que, la trente-neuvième fois où il m'avait embrassée, il avait aussi passé la nuit, ivre et perdu dans une brume alcoolisée, avec ce mannequin oméga, Cassia. Mais tout cela n'avait plus aucune importance désormais. Alpha souillé, j'en avais fini avec lui. Lors du couronnement qu'il chérissait plus que tout, je m'assurerais qu'il reçoive le cadavre le plus parfait qui soit.

Il y a un mois, j'ai été accidentellement infectée par le poison mortel de l'aconit, sans aucun espoir de guérison. Mon corps a commencé à se dégrader jour après jour, jusqu'à aujourd'hui, où ma louve a été tuée définitivement, et ma vie est entrée dans un compte à rebours de trois jours. La veille de ma mort, j'ai accepté de transplanter mon rein à ma sœur. Mon compagnon, très ravi, a dit qu'il me compenserait plus tard. Quand ma sœur a été accusée de plagiat sur le forum de l'université pour avoir copié mon article de recherche sur la portion de Belladonna, j'ai volontairement admis que j'étais le plagiaire. Mes parents étaient satisfaits, disant que j'avais enfin compris comment me comporter. Je suis enfin devenue la bonne épouse et la bonne fille idéale qu'ils attendaient. Néanmoins, quand je suis devenue un cadavre glacé, pourquoi ont-ils tous pleuré ?

During the mass terrorist attack in Manila, every legal-aged citizen is required to work for the government in order to reclaim the living land by battling as an option. The country where the terrorists originated is still in the unknown and under further investigation. Meanwhile, juveniles who were separated from their families had no choice but to live by themselves — whereas building a town, planting food crops, hunting animals and even manslaughter is even a necessity by means of survival. Keisha and his brother, Jaden, are left alone to be chased by vicious brutes hiding from the shadows. Until then they found hope wherein they can rule over and claim justice in the ongoing catastrophe. Is this going to be their chance to be the unsung heroes?

Scarred and discarded, Ava was betrayed by the people she loved most–her mother, her sister, and her fated mate. In her death, she begged the Moon Goddess for vengeance, and she was granted a rebirth. Reborn as a Princess in another pack, she is now tied to a dark fate, she is still scared, ugly, and worse, bound to a powerful demon Alpha king with his own tragic past and a haunting secret: he had loved her once before... and killed her. Will Ava's thirst for vengeance consume her? Or will she find peace in the arms of the very man fate cursed to fall for her again?

My sister and I were promised in marriage by our father, Eses, the God of Skies. She was to wed Dexaldir, the Keeper of Fate, the one who recorded the destinies of gods and mortals. I was to wed Guerrian, the God of War. But on the day of our wedding, their beloved woman, Seraphine, leapt from the Starfall Spire, the ancient tower where even immortals would die if they fell. After that, the four of us lived together in harmony. We were praised as the most devoted divine couples in the Celestial Skies. A hundred years later, during the war between the Celestial Skies and the Phlegethon Legion, Guerrian and Dexaldir betrayed us. They lured us into a trap and handed us over to the Phlegethon Demons. My husband, Guerrian, smirked at me. "Seraphine, it must have hurt when you fell from the Starfall Spire. I have finally avenged you today!" Next to him, Dexaldir held up an emerald pendant that was given to him by Seraphine. He murmured affectionately, "Seraphine, this day has finally come. They will pay the price! Wait for me. I'll soon find you a way to regain your body." Only then did my sister and I understand. They believed that we forced Seraphine to jump. The Phlegethon Demons kept us alive for 16 days. 16 days of torture. They tore the divine core from my sister's chest, destroying both her body and soul. As for me, due to my innate beauty, I was humiliated to death by the demon leader. When I opened my eyes once more, we were back to the day when our father promised us our marriages. I turned my head and saw my sister looking back at me. I knew she had been reborn too. We both smiled. Before our father could finish speaking, I stepped forward and interrupted him, "Father, I have a different idea."

Being forged from the trauma that clings to your soul like an additional layer of sin has an elegance to it. When my father and I buried my sister, falling in love with her first love wasn't on the agenda. Don Alessandro Valentino has something I want. Something he refuses to depart with and no matter how much pain he inflicts upon me, I will never give up. I vowed to never let him win. I thought I had escaped his grasp, but his torment had only just begun. Despite everything, he still held the power to manipulate my heart and make me crave to be possessed by him. As secrets come to light and the truth is exposed, can I surrender the battle and surrender what I've been fighting for all along, without hesitation? --- He tore his lips away from mine, peering down at me, brushing the pad of his thumb along his lower lip—smearing my touch as far as it would travel. “You taste like mine.” He said in a cold and condescending tone. Then he left. He walked out of the wine cellar without a second glance over his shoulder as Riccardo locked the door behind them.

« aujourd’hui je suis obligé d’être prisonnière, 17 années en tôle, 17 années à avoir des remords, 17 années à regretter d’avoir trop aimé mais aussi 17 années à préparer ma vengeance. Je sortirai de cet endroit et je deviendrai une vraie Lionne pour détruire tout ceux qui m’ont fait ça»
