De camino a ver a mi novio, que seguía haciendo horas extras, sufrí un fuerte accidente de tránsito. Lo llamé decenas de veces, pidiéndole ayuda, pero no respondió ni una sola vez. A lo lejos, el edificio de su empresa seguía iluminado, con las luces encendidas, como si nada hubiera pasado, y la desesperación terminó por devorarme. Cuando desperté en el hospital, vi una publicación de una subordinada suya: “¿Qué hacer cuando tu jefe te regaña en plena madrugada?” La imagen mostraba el reflejo de ambos en el vidrio de una puerta. La cercanía entre ellos era tan evidente que claramente había cruzado los límites de una relación laboral normal. Sin darme por vencida, volví a llamar a Alfonso González. Esta vez, por fin contestó. Con la voz quebrada, apenas logré decir: —Alfonso, tuve un accidente de auto. —Paula, ando ocupado —respondió con frialdad—. Haré que mi asistente se encargue, ¿de acuerdo? Sé buena, ¿sí? Cuando termine este viaje de trabajo, regresaré para acompañarte. Intenté seguir hablando, pero su grito interrumpió todo: —¡Bárbara! ¿Te vas con una sola maleta? ¿Y entonces por qué traes tres? ¿Piensas irte de vacaciones o qué? Bárbara Garza era la nueva pasante que Alfonso acababa de contratar. Miré el teléfono. La llamada ya se había cortado, y las lágrimas ya estaban secas en el rostro. Luego marqué otro número: —Acepto el matrimonio arreglado.

Inès, 19 ans, est une jeune fille discrète, rêveuse, et pleine de douceur. Depuis le lycée, elle n’a d’yeux que pour Rayane, son premier amour, son évidence. Ils vivent une relation intense, faite de promesses murmurées au creux des silences et d’instants suspendus. Pour elle, il est l’homme de sa vie. Pour lui… elle n’en est pas si sûre. Quand elle découvre qu’elle est enceinte, Inès croit d’abord à un miracle déguisé. Un signe que leur amour est assez fort pour devenir une famille. Mais Rayane, lui, ne partage pas cet espoir. À la nouvelle, il se ferme, recule, puis fuit. Il la quitte avec quelques mots froids, et l’abandonne face à une vie qui change brutalement. Brisée, rejetée, et déjà jugée par son entourage, Inès doit apprendre à se reconstruire seule, à aimer ce bébé qu’elle porte comme un rappel douloureux… et une force inattendue. Son glow up ne sera pas seulement physique, mais émotionnel, intérieur. Ce que Rayane pensait briser devient le point de départ d’une renaissance. Entre douleurs, combats silencieux et lumière retrouvée, Inès apprendra à ne plus attendre qu’on la sauve. À ne plus mendier l’amour, mais à l’incarner. Et peut-être… à découvrir qu’une nouvelle forme d’amour peut fleurir là où l’ancien a fané. “Il est parti. Je suis restée. Mais je ne suis plus la même.”

Il y avait une pleine lune la nuit où je suis né. Ma mère Amanda était la Luna de la meute de la Lune d'Argent. Et, Elle était enceinte de jumeaux cette fois-ci. Les jumeaux sont rares dans le monde des loups-garous, simplement parce que les loups-garous ont des bébés plus grands, donc il est difficile pour enceinte des jumeaux. J'ai entendu toutes les histoires sur la façon dont mon père a choyé ma mère pendant toute sa grossesse. Comment il lui massait les pieds chaque nuit et veillait à ce qu'elle ne manque de rien. C’était un accouchement difficile pour ma mère. Elle a eu du mal tandis que la sage-femme l'encourageait à pousser pour faire sortir mon frère et moi. On m'a dit que mon père faisait les cent pas devant la maison de la meute comme un fou dans un asile. Mon frère est né en premier. Différents membres de la meute ont des histoires différentes à propos de sa naissance. Certains prétendent qu'il n'a jamais pris une respiration et est né mort. D'autres membres jurent qu'il était vivant à la naissance puis est mort. Pour moi, le fait qu'il soit mort est tout ce qui compte. À partir de ce moment, on m'a tenu pour responsable de sa mort. J'étais le monstre. J'étais le meurtrier.

Le jour où j'allais accoucher, une meute de loups renégats m'a encerclée. Ils m'ont éventrée et ont réduit mon enfant en lambeaux. Mon compagnon Alpha, Marcus, est devenu fou. Il m'a conduite d'urgence au centre de soins et a ordonné aux guérisseurs de sauver ma vie. « Si quelque chose arrive à ma compagne, vous le paierez de vos vies », a-t-il crié. Alors qu'on me transportait vers la table d'opération, j'ai entendu sa conversation avec son Bêta. « Alpha, ces loups déguisés en renégats ont déjà été relâchés en secret de la Prison d'Argent. » « Tant qu'on obtient sa lettre de pardon, le Conseil des Alphas ne poursuivra pas l'affaire. » « C'est juste que… à la fois Luna et Mlle Céleste portent vos enfants. N'est-ce pas un peu cruel envers Scarlett… » Le ton de Marcus s'est glacé tandis qu'il a lancé un regard d'avertissement à son Bêta. « Scarlett ne peut pas donner naissance à cet enfant ! Mon héritier ne peut naître que de Céleste. Je lui ai promis que son enfant serait l'héritier Alpha. » Son Bêta n'a pas osé contredire, il a seulement contenu son mécontentement. « Mais… il y avait d'autres moyens. On n'était pas obligés de laisser Mlle Céleste engager des renégats pour littéralement déchiqueter l'enfant de Luna… » « La louve de Luna est restée endormie depuis le début de sa grossesse, ce qui l'a privée de ses capacités de guérison. Les guérisseurs disent qu'elle pourrait ne pas survivre. » Marcus est devenu froid, mêlé d'impuissance. « Je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'ils soient aussi brutaux. » « Monte la garde. Assure-toi que les guérisseurs la sauvent. S'il lui arrive quoi que ce soit, ils savent ce qu'ils risquent. C'est tout ce que je peux faire désormais. Plus tard, je lui offrirai toutes les ressources de la meute en guise de compensation. » Les portes du centre de soins se sont refermées lentement, coupant à jamais mon amour pour Marcus. Quand je me suis réveillée, il ne restait que la douleur lancinante dans mon bas-ventre, et un amas de chair et de sang…

“You! What do you think you're doing?” She squealed, her eyes wide as she scrambled backwards in a panic. He didn't stop and instead, backed her up until she was sandwiched between the wall and himself. His hand grabbed her waist and pulled her flush against him before leaning down till his lips was level with the her ear. “What do you think I'm doing?” His voice was a deep baritone that made her tremble. Her face flushed as she felt the signs of her arousal. He stuck out his tongue and lapped at her earlobe making her tremble and whimper. “Of course, I'm trying to get closer to my Luna.” With that, he didn't wait for her to say her usual protest of “I'm not your Luna” before he captured her lips in his, kissing her till her knees turned to jelly. Laila Reeds felt like her life was the happiest it could be and that nothing could go wrong. Her Alpha loved and cherished her. Her pack was flourishing and she was happy.

Soon, her heart would be beating again and it will be beating only for me.” he proclaimed with a confident smile.

“Okay let me rephrase the question, why did you just kidnap me?!” I ask unaware if he wasn’t quite keeping up with what was happening! “I wouldn’t call it kidnap; I was simply taking what is mine.” He replies with a dangerous look in his eye, I take a step backwards from shock and also, quite a bit of fear for a second. “I’m not sure what you think is going on here, but I can assure you that I’m not yours.” I tell him point blank, I don’t know what day and age he thinks we’re living in but nowadays, you can’t just go around and claim someone is yours. “I can assure you, every inch of you belongs to me, your whole being is mine.” He says in a growl like tone, his eyes seeming to go a shade darker as he spoke. ~~ Liv and her friends plan a weeks gateway in a hidden cabin in the woods, all of them needing a break from the year they had endured.

Without a word, knowing what he needed, Ace slid his hand back around to Liam's front. He stroked Liam's cock, his large hand sliding easily because of the lubricant, and Liam's hips began to move back and forth on their own. Every forward thrust pushed his rock-hard cock into Ace's hand; every backwards thrust took Ace's cock deeper into his eager body. He was crushed between a muscled body and an unmovable object, his hands in fists on the wall in front of him, his cheek pressed to the cool tile. All Liam could do was push up into Ace's hand, then push back to take Ace's cock; he was filled and utterly fulfilled, at the same time. **** Ten years ago, Liam “Spider” Valance met Ace Cuddy in the worst place possible: the Fallen Angels MC bar.

"Mr. Johnson, we're in the office–" Ethan takes another step towards me, making me step backwards; although we both know it's fruitless. "So what? You may be the Director, but have you forgotten the terms of our contract?” He pulls me flush against himself, my heart racing as I reply, "For the next three months, I will do exactly as you say.” He tugs on my hair to tilt my head back, brushing his lips against the exposed curve of my neck.
