Armored Train

His breath hit my mouth first. Warm. Shaky. Too close. Then Alex whispered, “Let go of me…” But his hands stayed on my chest. His fingers curled into the fabric like he needed something to hold onto. The thunder outside cracked, but it was nothing compared to the storm in his eyes. I tried to step back. I really did. But he moved first. Alex’s forehead touched mine, just lightly, like he didn’t realize he was doing it. His breath trembled against my lips. I felt every inch of him, every line of heat, every fight he was losing with himself. “You should hate me,” he whispered. “I do,” I said. My voice didn’t sound like hate at all. His lips brushed mine. Barely. A ghost of a touch. It burned. Alex swallowed hard. “Then why are you trembling?” I let out a breath I didn’t know I was holding. “Because you’re too close.” He gave a slow, dangerous smile. “Then stop me.” I didn’t. ◇♧♡♧◇ Blake Silver enters Midnight Academy to prove himself and bring down the Thorne bloodline for good.

Mon compagnon, l'Alpha Suprême de la meute, m'a juré une fidélité absolue pour la vie. Pourtant, le soir de notre anniversaire, j'ai senti sur lui le parfum d'une autre femme. Plus tard, lors d'une soirée, il m'a tenu la main et m'a regardée avec une douceur presque dévouée. Il m'a promis que j'étais la seule qu'il chérirait dans toute sa vie. Mais quelques instants plus tard, je l'ai surpris devant le salon privé, enlacé par sa maîtresse. Il se vantait auprès de ses amis de leur étreinte brûlante. Ce n'est qu'après que les anciens de la famille l'ont fouetté presque jusqu'à la mort avec des lanières imprégnées d'argent qu'il a enfin commencé à comprendre. Quand il murmurait mon nom dans son délire fiévreux, quelque chose a semblé se briser en lui. Il a appris enfin ce que signifiait perdre quelqu'un pour de bon. Son grand-père m'a appelée, suppliant : « Il est en train de mourir. S'il te plaît, viens le voir une dernière fois. » Je gardais une voix calme : « C'était son choix. » Il ne comprenait pas que certaines trahisons ne pouvaient jamais être pardonnées. Pas depuis l'instant où elles se sont produites.

The train arrived with a screech of metal on metal, and subconsciously I boarded and found a seat and gazed out the window as if somehow, the tunnel walls rushing by was the only thing that could grant my wish. "I wish you could see me," I whispered the deep words, picturing his face as I spoke. "Like really see me. I wish you could love me just the way I love you." Closing my eyes, I began to feel the weight of the unshed tears behind my eyelids. But just before I brushed them off I murmured again. "Just once, I want to know what it would be like if you truly loved me back." With a final sigh, I wiped the tears fighting to breakfree. Little did I know, some wishes come at a terrible price.

Aujourd’hui, c’est notre troisième anniversaire de mariage. Le dîner est prêt… mais il n’est jamais rentré. Notre union n’a jamais été faite d’amour, juste d’un malentendu. Trois ans sans enfant, une belle-mère qui ne m’a jamais acceptée, un mari distant, et pourtant… je l’aime encore. Il y a trois jours, j’ai appris que j’étais enceinte. Ce soir, j’espérais lui annoncer la nouvelle. Mais une notification a tout brisé : une photo de lui, en train d’embrasser ma sœur. J’ai reconnu le lieu. J’ai pris mes clés. Je suis rentrée seule. J’ai passé la nuit à pleurer. Dans la chambre d’à côté, ils ont fait l’amour. Et moi, recroquevillée sur un canapé, j’ai touché le fond. Le matin, c’est sa mère qui m’a réveillée avec un seau d’eau glacée. Elle m’a hurlé que je n’étais plus sa belle-fille, que je n’avais plus rien à faire ici. Alors je suis partie , trempée, humiliée, brisée. Mais dans ma poche, il y a ce papier froissé. Le prénom d’un inconnu. Un regard posé sur moi, hier soir. Le seul qui m’ait vraiment vue. Peut-être que c’est là que tout commence.

J'ai grandi aux côtés de l'alpha Griffith de la meute Avalora, et tout le monde disait que j'étais la femme la plus chanceuse de Merville. Pour moi, Griffith a refusé de conclure le lien sacré avec la compagne destinée que la Déesse de la Lune lui avait choisie. Il a proclamé au monde entier que j'étais son unique amour. Mais après que j'avais fait une fausse couche, j'ai surpris Griffith en train de parler à la guérisseuse : « Trouve une occasion pour droguer Luna, enlève-lui l'utérus, qu'elle ne puisse plus jamais tomber enceinte. » Puis, il a caressé le ventre d'une autre femme en disant : « Donne-lui les meilleurs remèdes pour protéger sa grossesse, je veux qu'elle donne naissance à l'enfant le plus fort et le plus intelligent. » Je connaissais cette femme : c'était Gisèle, la compagne que la Déesse de la Lune avait destinée à Griffith. J'ai entendu Griffith ajouter d'un ton grave à l'attention des autres : « Ne dites rien à Luna, prenez soin de sa santé de toutes vos forces, ou vous en paierez le prix. » Mon cœur était transpercé : je n'aurais jamais cru que l'homme qui m'aimait à la folie puisse me trahir. Plus tard, je suis partie sans dire un mot, leur laissant la voie libre. Et pourtant, il m'a dit qu'il avait perdu la capacité d'aimer.

Carissa s'était occupée de ses beaux-parents, utilisant sa dot pour améliorer le quotidien du foyer du général. Mais en retour, son mari avait cherché à se marier avec une autre générale, car selon lui, seuls ses mérites, ses exploits militaires et ses rêves pouvaient être compris par cette autre générale. Cet homme, Amance Warren, à qui elle avait consacré presque toute sa vie ainsi qu'à sa famille, la raillait : « Carissa, c'est grâce à Aurora et moi, grâce à notre bravoure face à de féroces ennemis, que tu as un train de vie aussi extravagant. Tu le réalises, ça ? Tu ne seras jamais aussi noble et admirable qu'Aurora. Tu ne fais que jouer des tours mesquins : des insinuations perfides, des calomnies doucereuses, des médisances déguisées en éloges et des dissimulations naïves, passant toute la journée à bavarder avec une bande de commères. » Carissa Sinclair, silencieuse face aux paroles déchirantes de cet homme, a quitté la maison. Le champ de bataille … Il avait raison. Elle avait presque oublié sa vie militaire, submergée par les bagatelles domestiques, se perdant elle-même. Après tout, elle venait d'une famille militaire. Elle était aussi une générale. Le fait qu'elle préparait les repas et faisait le ménage pour son mari ne signifiait pas qu'elle avait perdu son talent pour manier une lance !
