But everything crumbled when he introduced his pregnant mistress at a family dinner. Angry, Mellow sought to make Zeath restless by kidnapping the mistress. However, that resulted in a tragedy that nearly claimed her life and that of the child growing inside her—a child Zeath didn’t deserve. She faked her death and ran away, bound to return as Zeath’s only means to remain as the chairman of Lupin Group. Would he recognize her? Would she accept his apology if he ever gave one? And what would happen when the threat she once fled from rekindled, endangering her and her child’s lives once more? >>>>> “Do you know how much I wished you wouldn’t come near me, or even... touch me?” Zeath drones on. “All those cuddles and kisses, all the affection, made my skin crawl—like a troll embracing its victim before gobbling them. One can only imagine how much it stinks. You are no different from that troll. You merely caught my attention because you were a self-absorbed twonk, and we needed to test if you even had the heart to love another.” “We?” I croak out. Then Zeath’s fingers trail gently along my face, his eyes glinting with pure poison, and his voice is no better. “Poor Mellow, it is all a dare, a gratifying one. Divorce or not, it’s your choice.”

Selena Vanson, my adopted sister whom my brothers had brought back from the borders, has framed me. She claims that I've laced her birthday cake with wolfsbane. Hence, my brothers throw me into the silver mine, which has long since been sealed off. I scream for mercy while struggling against my bonds with all my might. But all I get is an icy judgment from Leo Wilde, my oldest brother who's the Alpha of the pack. He looks at me with hatred in his eyes, as though he's looking at a filthy beast. "Selena has been taking care of you without minding the fact that you're a low-tier Omega. Yet, you intend to poison her and even kill her wolf out of jealousy toward her blood purity! You deserve to die!" My other two brothers, Luke and Ryan Wilde, have even tied heavy rocks to my limbs for fear that I might escape. "You often act innocent and wronged, but the truth is, you have such a vile heart! Our family is embarrassed to have a lowly Omega like you!" "It's best if you die! No one here wants to see you ever again!" Even my younger brother, Rupert Wilde, who is raised by me, mocks me as well. "Lorraine, you should be sensible. Even without you around, Selly will still be nice to me. But without us, you're nothing but an abandoned mutt." After that, they close the mine's door on me. Silver powder soon rushes into my nose and mouth. I feel as though my body is lit on fire. Pain and agony soon engulf me whole. Once my brothers think that I've been punished enough and want to spare me from the torture, there's nothing left of me inside the mine pit but a pile of blood and bones.

Ma mère m'a demandé d'organiser un voyage en famille. Alors que nous contournions une zone dangereuse, ma petite sœur Lydia et moi avons été attaquées par des loups errants. Pour la protéger, j'ai intercepté leurs griffes et ai été projetée dans une mine d'argent. Le dos déchiré par la chute, une profonde blessure m'a traversée jusqu'aux os. Et ma jambe droite, elle était enfoncée dans des éclats d'argent. La toxine m'empoisonnait lentement, brûlant à vif moi et ma louve. Elle gémissait de douleur, sur le point de mourir. Mais ma mère, en tant que guérisseuse en chef de notre meute, avait réuni tous ses camarades autour de Lydia, pour s'occuper de ses égratignures légères. Je pleurais et la suppliais de me soigner en premier : « Maman… Le poison de l'argent va me ronger le cœur, je ne tiendrai plus longtemps... » Elle s'est retournée, l'air exaspéré, et a hurlé : « Tu essayes encore d'attirer mon attention à ce moment ? Tu sais que Lydia a failli se faire lacérer le visage par ces griffes d'argent ? Notre meute n'a jamais eu une louve aussi cruelle que toi ! » À ce moment-là, j'ai entendu le dernier cri de ma louve, qui me disait adieu. Finalement, je me suis endormie dans le froid, sans jamais me réveiller...

"You don’t know what you’re playing with." He murmured, His hand traced a slow path down my arm, fingers firm but deliberate, sending a shiver straight to my core. "You are scared" “I’m not.” I whispered. He smiled. “You should be.” Before I could think, he closed the distance, his lips crashing onto mine, rough, urgent, claiming and fierce, consuming fire of his touch. "I can't stop. I don't won't to." Then he claimed my lips again. And soon, my lips moved. I was kissing back. This shouldn’t be happening. Just then footsteps echoed. “Rylan—stop, someone’s coming—” But his hands only gripped my waist tighter, holding me still. he whispered. “Let them. I don’t care.” then his lips crashed against mine, harder. I tried turning away but he grabbed my neck and stuck his tongue into my mouth. "Rylan please." my eyes dart to the door. "Stop." I struggled. His hand slipped down to grab my ass. Squeezing it tightly. "If you weren't wearing a jean, I would have stuck my fingers right into your holes. Fuck." He hissed then continued. A light knock sounded at the door followed by the twisting handle. No! ★ Some-secrets are born in fire... and some desires, forged in darkness.

In my previous life, my Alpha mate hated me for ten years because his childhood sweetheart committed suicide by taking silver poison after he marked me. I worked tirelessly to fulfill my duties as his Luna, enduring his indifference with patience. But all he ever did was sneer coldly at me. "How I wish it had been you who died instead." The words pierced my heart like silver claws. But when the rogue wolves invaded our territory, he still threw himself in front of me to take the killing blow. As he lay dying in my arms, he used what little strength remained to push away my hand that was trying to comfort him. "Sage," he whispered, "if only I had never met you in this lifetime..." At his funeral, the pack elders wept uncontrollably. "Alpha Kieran, this is all our fault. We never should have forced you to bond with your fated mate. If we had honored your wishes and let you bind with Elena instead, would today's outcome have been different?" Even the Alpha King, who had once supported our union, no longer stood by me. Nearly every pack member blamed me. "The Alpha saved you three times. He was such a good man. Why did you always bring him nothing but disaster? Why wasn't it you who died instead?" Everyone regretted that Kieran had bonded with me. Even I regretted it. Finally, unable to bear the pain any longer, I ended my own life before the Moon Goddess's statue with the silver dagger Kieran had given me. But the Moon Goddess granted me another chance, sending me back to before Kieran and I were bonded. This time, I decided to fulfill Kieran's wishes, give up my status as his fated mate, and leave completely to make everyone happy.

They said a wolfless omega like me should be grateful for any mate. They didn't mention he'd reject me in front of three hundred wolves on my twenty-second birthday. For fourteen years, I survived as Silverpine Pack's punching bag, always starved, beaten, and told I was worthless. Tonight was supposed to change everything. My fated mate, Beta Marcus Kane, was supposed to claim me. Instead, he chose my cruel stepsister and condemned me to the silver chamber. So I ran. Straight into rogue territory. Straight into them. Kael, Damon, and Reece Blackthorn: three exiled alpha bikers with reputations as dark as their wolves. Dangerous and deadly. And somehow... all three are my fated mates. They say shared mates only occur in the most powerful bloodlines. They say it's a gift from the moon goddess herself. But I'm nobody. I'm broken. I don't even have a wolf. Except I do. And she's not just any wolf. She's a White Wolf, a bloodline extinct for two centuries. The kind of power that alphas kill for. The kind of power my stepfather has been suppressing with poison and dark magic since I was eight years old. Now my wolf is awakening, the Blackthorn brothers are falling for me despite their blood curse counting down to destruction, and the corrupt Wolf Council wants me dead or controlled before I become unstoppable. The stepfather who tortured me is coming to finish what he started. My ex-mate is dying from our severed bond and is desperate to reclaim me. And three devastatingly possessive alphas have made it clear: anyone who wants me goes through them first. I'm done being the victim. Done being weak. Done apologizing for existing. They wanted a monster? The White Wolf has awakened. She's coming for everyone who tried to break her.

Without my knowledge, Aileen—the daughter of Carlson Green’s first love—secretly lured my five-year-old daughter, Lena, deep into the Wolfsbane Forest. She told Lena there was treasure hidden in the forest. When a distress signal came from the forest, I rushed there with Carlson and the rescue team. The wolfsbane's poison spread silently, making it harder for Lena to breathe. She lay weak in the grass, her face pale, her heartbeat slowing down. Aileen, meanwhile, was sprawled on the path beside the wolfsbane. She only had a few scratches on her knees, but she was crying loudly. "Help me! It hurts so much!" I thought Carlson, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack and Lena’s father, would run into the forest to check on his own daughter. But he didn’t. Instead, he bent down, scooped Aileen into his arms, comforting her with care. His eyes were full of worry. "It’s okay now, Daddy’s here." I ran forward, my voice shaking. "Carlson! Lena is still in the wolfsbane grass! I can feel her breathing fading! Come with me to find her!" He only said calmly, "Lena is wearing my Moonstone Crystal. It protects her from wolfsbane. She will be fine. Aileen needs care and treatment more." The rescue vehicle left, taking Aileen and Carlson with it. I ran into the wolfsbane field and found Lena. She weakly tugged my hand. "Mom, don’t cry. It doesn’t hurt at all." "Daddy will come save me after he saves Aileen." Then she closed her eyes. And never breathed again. Even on the day of her funeral, Lena never got to see her father come to save her. Carlson Green, a life for a life. You, Aileen, and her mother will pay back everything you did to Lena—I’ll make you repay it a thousand times over.

"Why did you poison my drink?" Yelled a woman, her gaze glaring daggers at the man who stood with a brazen look as he placed both his hands in his pocket simply watching her. His steps echoed his movement as he entered the room, his presence filled the air. "Because you want to leave me" he said, his words angering the woman who reached out to strike him but stumbled in the process, her body swaying to the ground but right before she could fall, she was pulled into a firm sturdy chest. "I hate it when you run from me. I hate it when men linger around you. I hate it when they touch what's mine" he said stroking her head. "You lost the right to call me that Mr DONOVAN. I don't belong to you" With a smirk playing on his lips he said. "If I can't have you, then no one can" *** Never did Lilly realize her peaceful life could turn into her worst nightmare when she fell in love with her childhood crush. 15yrs ago she had brought him into her home. 15yrs later, he reigned down chaos, destroying her peaceful home. He blamed her for the death of his parents, treated her like a slave and left her for dead. But 5yrs later, she returned. She was no longer the weak being she once were. But all hell broke lose when after so long, she crossed paths with him. In her heart she despised him but in his heart, a sudden sense of obsession emerged. A dark desire to keep her with him. Will Lilly be able to forgive him? What happens when she harbours a great secret from him? "Mom, who is that man on the television?" "No one dear. He's your worst nightmare"

Lilith n'est plus qu'une ombre, un être brisé dont l'existence se résume à une douleur continue. Devenue l'enjeu d'une guerre impitoyable entre deux prédateurs, elle est tiraillée entre la possession glaciale de Damian, qui sculpte sa soumission par l'humiliation, et la passion dévorante de Cain, qui consume les derniers vestiges de son âme. Chaque frémissement, chaque regard, chaque marque sur sa peau attise leur jalousie maladive. Damian la punit pour la moindre émotion qu'elle ose montrer en présence de son rival. Cain, lui, use de violence pour effacer toute trace de l'autre, faisant de son corps le champ de bataille de leur conflit. L'affrontement ultime éclate : les deux hommes se livrent un duel presque mortel. C'est dans ce bain de sang que Lilith, brisée mais lucide, comprend qu'elle n'a qu'une issue : les détruire, ou périr. Des cendres de sa rage naît une femme nouvelle, froide et stratège. Elle apprend à retourner leur poison contre eux, manipulant leur jalousie avec une précision cruelle jusqu'à l'ultime confrontation. Damian tombe. Cain, quant à lui, transformé par la perte et fasciné par la force insoupçonnée de celle qu'il a martyrisée, demeure. Leur relation, née des cicatrices, se reconstruit sur les ruines de leur passé. Un amour dur comme l'acier, trempé dans le sang et la souffrance, émerge , aussi toxique que vital, aussi destructeur que salvateur.

Pendant les sept années où j'ai été liée à Gérard, mon compagnon, l'héritier de l'Alpha, il a couché avec toutes les amies qui m'entouraient. J'ai fait comme si je n'avais rien vu, j'ai continué à remplir mes devoirs de la future Luna. Jusqu'au jour où j'ai accouché, sa nouvelle maîtresse a conduit des loups sauvages tout droit à m'attaquer. Leurs griffes ont transpercé mon ventre avec une précision cruelle, ma mère a même été tuée par eux alors qu'elle tentait de me sauver. Dans ce moment de désespoir, j'ai utilisé le lien mental pour contacter Gérard et l'ai supplié de nous sauver. « Alina, quand as-tu appris à faire ces tours ? Ne pense pas que ton jeu pathétique m'amènera à m'intéresser à toi. » Après cela, il a coupé le lien mental. Mais il a envoyé une voiture chercher sa nouvelle maîtresse. Lorsque la patrouille m'a trouvée et m'a emmenée à l'hôpital, le bébé dans mon ventre avait été sorti à coups de griffes. Ma mère est morte elle aussi, le poison des loups sauvages s'est répandu dans ses blessures jusqu'à ce que son corps s'effondre. Quand je me suis réveillée, j'ai regardé, hébétée, le grand-père de Gérard, l'actuel Alpha de la meute d'Ombre de Lune. « Laisse-moi partir », ai-je dit froidement, « j'ai payé de ma vie tout ce que je devais à votre meute. »
