Prologue : La Naissance d'une Alpha La lune brillait haut dans le ciel, drapant la forêt de Croissant Blanc d'une lueur argentée. Les ombres dansaient entre les arbres, et le vent murmurait des secrets anciens, porteurs de destin. Je suis née sous cette même lune, il y a vingt et un hivers. Une nuit où les loups hurlèrent plus fort que jamais, comme pour saluer mon arrivée. Amarah Raven un nom qui résonne comme une promesse, comme un avertissement. Mon père, l’Alpha, me regarda avec des yeux emplis de fierté et de crainte. Il savait déjà ce que cela signifiait. Une fille, oui, mais pas n’importe laquelle. La future Alpha de la Meute de Croissant Blanc. Les anciens racontent que notre lignée est bénie par la lune elle-même, que notre sang porte la force des tempêtes et la ruse des ombres. Nous sommes la plus grande meute, la plus redoutée. Et un jour, ce sera à moi de mener nos frères et sœurs, de protéger notre territoire, de faire couler le sang si nécessaire. Mais pour l’instant… je dois encore prouver que je suis digne. Car une Louve-garou ne devient pas Alpha sans combat. Et moi, Amarah Raven, je suis prête à me battre.

Trois mois avant notre mariage, mon petit ami a publié sur Instagram un certificat de mariage, à lui et à ma sœur adoptive, ainsi qu'une photo de grossesse de cette dernière. La légende disait : « Nous avons légalement accueilli notre enfant. » Ma sœur adoptive a commenté avec un émoji timide. Ma mère a aimé la publication et elle a écrit : « Quand le bébé naîtra, je vous aiderai à le garder. Vivez votre vie de couple sans souci. » Je ne pouvais pas m'empêcher de commenter un point d'interrogation. La seconde d'après, les reproches de mon petit ami se sont abattus sur moi comme une tempête. Il a dit : « Elle t'a juste emprunté mon temps pour un an, le temps qu'elle accouche. Ensuite, elle me rendra à toi. »

Dans ce monde de loyauté brisée et de pouvoirs clandestins, l’amour n’est qu’un leurre, une faiblesse que seuls les naïfs osent encore convoiter. Moi, Nina, je l’ai appris à mes dépens. Tout avait commencé comme une mission simple : séduire Espoir, le chef d’une mafia redoutée, m’infiltrer dans sa vie et soutirer les informations qui mettraient fin à son empire. Ce n’était pas la première fois que Jonas, mon patron, me confiait une mission aussi risquée. Mais cette fois, quelque chose était différent. Espoir n’était pas comme les autres hommes. Dès le premier regard, m’a troublée. Pas seulement par son charisme glacial, mais par une profondeur dans ses yeux qui semblait murmurer des secrets que même lui ignorait. Pourtant, je savais qui il était : un homme dangereux, un ennemi. Et moi, j’étais sa prétendue alliée, une femme avec une arme secrète – son cœur. Mais ce que je n’avais pas prévu, c’était ma propre faiblesse. Je m’étais promis de ne jamais mêler mes émotions à mes missions. L’amour était un luxe que je ne pouvais pas me permettre, surtout dans ce monde cruel. Pourtant, chaque instant passé avec lui fragilisait mes résolutions. Et maintenant, je suis là, prise au piège entre deux feux : Jonas, à qui je dois tout et qui ne tolère pas l’échec, et Espoir, cet homme que je devais détruire, mais qui m’a fait redécouvrir des émotions que je pensais perdues. Alors que tout s’écroule autour de moi, une question me hante : jusqu’où suis-je prête à aller pour protéger l’homme que je devrais trahir… et l’enfant que je dois sauver ? Mon nom est Nina. Et ceci est mon histoire, une histoire d’amour, de trahison et de rédemption.

They say when you wake with the woman you love in your arms it feels like the whole world has been set right. I have to agree, except once reality kicks in you feel like you just been mind fucked......... "Please what? Tell me you want me to fuck you!" He demanded. His finger slid halfway in my wet heat as his thumb rubbed perfectly over my clit. His touch was throwing my body into an erratic mess of pleasure, but the slow torture was making me lose control. He chuckled watching my body squirm under him. I took a deep breath then let everything go. "Please, fuck me." "That's my girl." He taunted removing his fingers "Christian!" I gave him a look that I would cut off his dick. This boy loved teasing me and it really pissed me off. "Relax kitten. I never break my promises." He pulled me up and slid my dress off. I became instantly aware of us both practically naked in front of each other. My legs tried closing shut and my arms came to my chest. "Oh, it's too late for that little girl. Your body is mine now." His knees moved my thighs further apart and he took both my wrists in one hand pinning them above me. His mouth sucked on my breasts then his other hand untied my bathing suit bottom slowly peeling away the last piece of fabric covering my body. "Fucking perfect." His hand grabbed one of mine sliding it down my body making me touch myself until he reached the one part of my body, I needed him to touch the most. He guided my finger with his inside my walls making my back arch. "You feel how soft your pussy is? It drives me insane."
