He abruptly snatches me, closing the distance between us, putting his hand on the back of my head. All the hair on my body rises on alert; one wrong move I might shapeshift in here. His masculine scent infiltrated me with so much finesse. Damn, he smells divine. "What the hell--" "Shut your mouth; those thugs are after me; I need your help." His baritone tone is manly, very manly which catches me off guard a little. No one can lay a finger on me; he is the first man ever to touch me. I'm with a stranger in a strange position. How annoying can this night be? "Alright, Mister, I will give you three seconds to let me go, or else you might lose your hands." My tone is cold and dangerous. I’m hoping he heeds my warning. The tall man keeps leaning forward to me, putting our bodies in an intimate, awkward setting. "One, Two, Thre--" He steers his legs forward. My heart was beating a mile per second. I can't believe he is doing this! Feeling his warm palms cupping my face, the next thing I know, he is kissing me. His lips taste like strawberries. I got an entry pass into heaven!

Lila Anderson n’était qu’une jeune femme pleine de rêves et d’amour lorsqu’elle fut accusée d’un crime qu’elle n’avait pas commis. Trahie, brisée, et injustement condamnée, elle passe trois longues années derrière les barreaux. Son seul tort ? Avoir aimé Dante Whitemore, l’héritier d’un empire impitoyable, sans jamais chercher autre chose que son cœur. À sa sortie de prison, Lila est méconnaissable. Brisée mais toujours digne malgré les humiliations qu’elle endure. Ce qu’elle ignore, c’est que le destin s’apprête à la replonger dans les ténèbres qu’elle croyait avoir laissées derrière elle. Car Dante est de retour. Lorsqu’il la revoit, il ne reconnaît pas celle qu’il avait jadis tant méprisée. Sa présence l’obsède, l’énerve, le trouble. Il croit encore qu’elle l’a trahi… Mais peu à peu, chaque regard, chaque mot, chaque silence fissure ses certitudes. Ce qu’il ne sait pas encore, c’est qu’il est lui-même la proie d’un mensonge bien plus vaste, ourdi par Elena Moreau — la rivale cachée, manipulatrice élégante aux allures d’ange, qui depuis l’enfance rêve de devenir la femme de Dante. Une rivalité invisible, mais cruelle, qui aura détruit des vies pour mieux dissimuler la vérité. Entre haine, passion, vengeance et rédemption, Dante devra affronter ses fautes et faire tomber les masques. Mais Lila, elle, peut-elle encore lui faire confiance ? Peut-on reconstruire l’amour sur les cendres du mépris ? Et que fera Jason Stuart, l’ami fidèle devenu rival silencieux, lorsqu’il comprendra qu’il aime celle qu’il ne pourra jamais vraiment avoir ? Un amour détruit par la trahison. Un pardon plus dur que la prison. Une reconquête à haut prix. Et une femme qui, cette fois, ne se laissera plus briser.

Élina pensait fuir pour survivre. Quand elle s’enfonce seule dans la forêt, fuyant les coups, la honte et une trahison brûlante, elle ne cherche ni pardon, ni miracle. Elle veut juste disparaître. Mais au détour d’un cri, d’un hurlement, elle tombe dans un autre monde. Capturée par une meute de loups-garous, battue, interrogée, réduite au silence, elle n’est plus qu’un corps meurtri... jusqu’à ce qu’il apparaisse. Kaël. L’Alpha. Le seul qui voit au-delà des cicatrices. Le seul qui murmure qu’elle est sa mate. Elle n’a rien choisi. Rien compris. Et pourtant, quelque chose en elle bat à l’unisson du sien. Dans un monde où les instincts gouvernent, où la force dicte les règles, où les liens ne se brisent pas... Élina va devoir apprendre à respirer à nouveau. À faire confiance. À exister. Même si chaque pas la rapproche d’un passé qu’elle pensait avoir enterré... et d’une vérité qui pourrait tout faire exploser. Et si sa douleur était la clef d’un pouvoir plus ancien que la meute elle-même ?

He strolled to the door and shut it close. "Sir, what are you doing?" I asked dramatically as he locked the door. He turned around, his lips drawn up into a naughty smile. "I need to spend some private time with my student." He's sauntering to me, gazing at me, having desires in his bewitching black eyes. My heart started racing, only with the thoughts of what he'll do to me. I'm excited to spend some time with my Hottie Professor in the classroom. This is making me excited. I'm looking at him in anticipation. "But your favourite student is still angry with you." I turned my face on the other side as he reached in front of me. "Then her professor has his own to pacify his favourite student." He cooed, holding my chin with his thumb and finger. As he turned my face to him, I pouted angrily. "Oh, really? So what are those ways ?" I sassed, removing his hand from my chin. As he abruptly grasped my bare waist, I shivered because of his touch. He lifted me from the floor and made me sit on the desk. We gazed into each other eyes passionately in utter silence, the only sound we could hear is our heartbeats. He started coming close to my lips, gazing into my eyes fondly. His warm breath caressing my face.
