Atticus Noble

He is everything she despises arrogant, brutal, and worshipped for the violence he delivers on the ice. Atticus Finch is the league’s most feared hockey star, a man who wins games with clenched fists and a heart carved from ice. Sheila Feint wants nothing to do with him. She sees the ego behind the fame, the rage behind the smile, the destruction he leaves in his wake. And Atticus? He can’t stand her defiance, her sharp tongue, the way she looks at him like he’s nothing more than a headline waiting to implode. Forced into close proximity by fate and circumstance, their hatred burns hotter than rivalry. Every argument crackles with tension. Every glare lingers too long. Somewhere between verbal wars, bruised pride, and moments they refuse to name, the line between enemy and something far more dangerous begins to blur. But loving your enemy comes at a price. Because if Atticus lets her in, he risks exposing the darkness he’s spent years hiding. And if Sheila gives in, she might fall for the one man capable of destroying everything she believes in. On the ice, Atticus Finch never loses. But with Sheila Feint… love might be the most brutal game he’s ever played.

Après que ma vingtième demande de lien mental ait été ignorée par mes parents, j'ai foncé vers le Conseil des affaires de la meute. Le rapport médical en main, j'ai lancé sans préambule : « Bonjour, je veux renoncer à mon identité au sein de la meute... et IMMÉDIATEMENT ! » Dix minutes plus tard, mes parents ont fait irruption dans la salle, traînant ma sœur adoptive Elsa. Tous les trois avaient l'air terrifié. Mon père, un Bêta, les crocs apparents et les griffes frémissantes, s'est avancé en hurlant : « Tu n'es qu'une enfant gâtée en quête d'attention ! Arrête ton numéro, tu me fais honte ! » Ma mère, médecin légiste de la meute, a arraché mon rapport, y a jeté un coup d'œil et a ricané : « Tu as falsifié ça juste pour qu'on s'intéresse à toi ? Tu as toujours été une menteuse pathologique. » Elsa, accrochée à leurs manches, sanglotait : « C'est de ma faute… Je devrais pas insister pour organiser cette cérémonie de transformation… Je suis désolée, mais Jennifer, arrête de mentir pour manipuler la culpabilité de papa et maman ! » Je me suis calmement essuyé le sang qui coulait de mon nez, me suis redressée et ai répété à la conseillère : « Je n'ai plus de famille depuis longtemps. Effacez toutes mes traces du registre de la meute. Mes funérailles sont dans trois jours, et je veux pas les retarder. »

“Tell me,” I demanded, my voice a rough whisper. “Tell me how much you like being used like my slut! How you intentionally defy me so that I can fuck you like this.” Desperate to survive after being banished and left to die following an event orchestrated by a frenemy, Head Witch Hera Volkov teamed up with Alpha Atticus, her mortal enemy who blames her for the death of his pregnant mate. Atticus has to find and mark his second chance mate before the age of 30 so he can be crowned Alpha King and he has to be crowned Alpha King so he can become powerful enough to avenge his death's murder. He accepts Hera's proposal to fake a mate bond between them so she gets to stay alive and her gets to become King with the sole intention of keeping Hera close to himself and making her life a living hell. But things get more heated as sparks fly over punishments, actual mate bond comes into play, and enemies in plain sight that'd do anything to ensure that Atticus doesn't become King.

In a world ruled by power and betrayal, Atticus Escoban, the younger daughter of the influential Escoban family, has always lived away from the dangerous chaos of their criminal empire. For 21 years, she was sheltered, hidden, and protected. But her life changes forever when Alijax Costaloña, the cold and calculating heir of the Costaloña dynasty, violently confronts her father, leaving him gravely wounded. Atticus never expected to be caught in the crossfire of her family’s schemes. Worse, Alijax discovers her existence and shocks everyone by choosing her—over her older sister Anneth—to be his fiancée. The engagement is a sham, a dangerous ploy to secure alliances, but Alijax has plans no one can predict. Determined to protect her family at any cost, Atticus agrees to the engagement, kahit na lumalaban ang puso niya sa ideya. Behind her composed exterior, she plots her way out, refusing to let the Costaloñas dictate her future. But the closer she gets to Alijax, the harder it becomes to distinguish between the man who ruined her family and the one who seems capable of understanding her like no one else. “Do you think you can escape this, Atticus?” he said, his voice dangerously low as he cornered her in the dimly lit study. “You’re mine now. Whether you like it or not.” Her fists clenched, and she met his cold, unreadable gaze with defiance. “You can own the world, Alijax Costaloña, pero ako? Hindi mo ako makukuha.” In a game of power, deception, and forbidden emotions, Atticus must make the ultimate choice. Will she sacrifice her freedom to protect her family, or will she risk it all to claim the life she truly deserves? Love and survival collide in a story where nothing is what it seems, and every decision could be deadly.

J'ai su depuis mon enfance que j'étais destinée à épouser Kaden, l'héritier Alpha de la meute Pierre de Lune. En tant que seule détentrice du lignage Béni de la Lune, je suis la seule capable de briser la malédiction qui hante le lignage Alpha Pierre de Lune depuis des générations. Il y a un siècle, l'ancêtre Pierre de Lune a publiquement insulté une femme Alpha déchue lors de ses funérailles. Il s'en est moqué « Ce n'est qu'une louve. Pourquoi des funérailles aussi fastueuses ? Comment une femme pourrait-elle jamais protéger les nôtres ? Elle a probablement couché pour arriver au sommet. » La Déesse Séléné était enragée. Elle a jeté une malédiction perpétuelle : chaque héritier Alpha direct de la meute Pierre de Lune développerait des traits féminins à son dix-huitième anniversaire, régressant en un vulgaire Oméga. Seule l'union avec un loup Béni de la Lune peut lever la malédiction. J'étais amoureuse de Kaden depuis des années et ne voulais rien de plus que le sauver. Maya a prétendu posséder elle aussi le lignage Béni de la Lune. Kaden a tenté de l'épouser, mais j'ai exposé son mensonge et l'en ai empêché. Contraint par ses parents, Kaden a finalement fait de moi sa Luna. Après m'avoir marquée, Kaden n'a pas régressé en Oméga, mais il n'a pas non plus éveillé son lignage de Roi Alpha. Cette même nuit, Maya, au cœur brisé, est allée se promener seule dans les bois, où elle a été acculée par un groupe de renégats. Mes parents et Kaden me détestaient pour cela. Ils affirmaient que j'étais une menteuse dont le lignage était impur, ce qui expliquait pourquoi Kaden n'avait jamais vraiment accédé au pouvoir. Ils étaient convaincus que Maya était la véritable Bénie de la Lune. Ils croyaient que ma jalousie l'avaient tuée. Par une nuit de pleine lune, Kaden m'a arraché la gorge devant toute la meute. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue au jour où Kaden était arrivé à la meute Lune d'Argent pour faire sa demande.

Alors que nous étions sur le point de partir pour le parc d'attractions, mon petit ami Bêta, Davy Carrelle, a apporté avec lui une mère et sa fille. Mais il manquait justement une place dans la voiture. Davy m'a alors demandé de descendre pour leur céder la mienne. Il a déclaré, d'un ton détaché : « Laura a du mal à s'occuper de son enfant seule. Laisse-les monter, je reviendrai te chercher plus tard. » Je suis descendue calmement, suivant des yeux le véhicule qui s'éloignait lentement de la meute. Trois heures plus tard, ils étaient bien arrivés au parc, où ils ont participé à un dîner-spectacle avec feux d'artifice. Quand mon meilleur ami a interrogé Davy sur son retard à venir me chercher, celui-ci était occupé à aider Laura à allumer un feu d'artifice. Visiblement pas pressé, il a même lâché, négligent : « Pourquoi si pressé ? Rébecca ne m'en voudra pas. Un peu de baratin, et elle oubliera sa crise. » Oui, la colère n'avait que d'effet sur ceux qui tenaient à nous... Si mon père, ma mère et mon frère s'en moquaient de moi, peu importe. Mais que Davy, lui aussi, m'ignorait à ce point… Alors, il était temps de quitter définitivement cet endroit qui ne m'apportait plus que chagrin...
