Love For The Wicked Book Three. In my eyes, the world is a huge sandbox created for the big boys. Girls, money, business… and I always strive to come out on top until my father gave me an ultimatum. I needed to find a wife, or I’d lose my rights to the family business. I found the perfect woman for the scheme I devised, of course. She was beautiful, feisty, the picture-perfect wife to make my father believe I was done playing games. In return, she needed a favor, the kind that takes nine months to deliver. The rules were laid out meticulously, from the no touching to fake falling in love. After a year, we would part ways amicably with no hassle, no demands, and no regrets; after all, it was all just a game. As my plan took its course, it dawned on me that playing house was a game I never should have played. She started to grow on me, from that sexy little pout to the late nightcap, the endless dirty banter, and even the fights we had. I realize I enjoyed having her around. Trouble is, how will I make her believe I am not playing games anymore? That I don’t want her to be just my contract wife, that I don’t want twelve months with her but more?

– Sra. Sterling, a senhora tem certeza de que está pronta para encerrar este casamento de vinte anos e abrir mão da custódia? – Sim. Dê entrada. Acabou. – Respondi calmamente ao telefone enquanto esfregava uma mancha teimosa de gordura na ilha de granito. Durante vinte anos, eu dediquei tudo de mim a essa família. Administrei a casa, cuidei da educação das crianças e permaneci ao lado do meu marido, apoiando sua ascensão no sindicato sem jamais reclamar. Mas meu marido, Alexander, levou sua jovem irmã adotiva, Chloe, para a entrevista, dizendo: – O sucesso que tenho hoje é todo graças à minha irmã adotiva. Até meus próprios filhos passaram a me menosprezar, chamando-me de dona de casa comum e grosseira. Eles formaram uma aliança com a "tia" sempre presente – a mulher que achava ser a verdadeira senhora da casa. Assinei os papéis do divórcio e fui embora, deixando que eles se tornassem a "família perfeita" que tanto sonhavam. Mas foi então que a família entrou em pânico…

Pendant six ans, j'ai attendu de devenir la compagne marquée de l'Alpha Kael et la Luna officielle. La première fois, Lyra, la compagne de son frère décédé, a appelé en pleurant pour signaler une attaque de loups solitaires. Il m'a abandonnée devant l'autel et a couru la sauver, mais il s'est avéré qu'elle s'était simplement perdue en se promenant dans les bois. La deuxième fois, il ne s'est jamais présenté parce que Lyra avait menacé de se suicider. Plus tard, j'ai découvert qu'il lui avait donné le collier de Luna parce que sa louve avait plus besoin de protection que la mienne. La troisième fois, je suis partie à sa recherche et je l'ai trouvé à son rendez-vous prénatal, sa main posée sur son ventre. Il ne savait pas que je portais son petit aussi. Le cœur brisé, j'ai décidé de partir. Après ma disparition, il est devenu fou à me chercher.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

J'ai célébré notre troisième anniversaire de mariage avec une réception que j'avais soigneusement préparée. Mais mon mari, l'Alpha Johnny, est parti en vacances à la mer avec son assistante Émilie, me laissant seule au milieu des invités, livrée aux moqueries. Sous le regard des convives, j'ai composé calmement le numéro du complexe balnéaire, et j'ai même réservé tout le domaine pour eux deux. Ensuite, j'ai envoyé à Johnny la demande de rupture du lien conjugal, présentée comme une simple facture à signer. Dans ma vie précédente, pour préserver l'honneur de nos deux meutes, j'avais forcé Johnny à rester à mes côtés, tandis qu'Émilie était partie seule et avait trouvé la mort dans un accident de voiture. Johnny ne m'avait pas reproché sa mort, pas avant que je sois tombée enceinte. Il m'avait attachée dans une voiture et m'avait dit qu'il voulait que je ressente la douleur qu'Émilie avait endurée en mourant. Quand la voiture avait explosé, j'avais enfin compris que Johnny m'avait toujours haïe. Revenue à la vie, j'ai juré de tout lui reprendre, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne lui reste plus rien.
