« Je t'ai aimé. Je tenais à toi. J'ai tout abandonné pour toi, mais tu m'as pris mon rêve et tu l'as confié à quelqu'un d'autre. » Je soutins son regard avec une telle intensité en m'approchant de lui qu'il tituba en arrière. « Tu m'as trahie, comme si ce n'était pas suffisant. Tu as essayé de me tuer, mais voilà la différence entre toi et moi, Tyler : je ne vais pas te donner le luxe de la mort, je vais te faire regarder brûler tout ce qui t'est cher. » « Je vais te faire regarder brûler ! » **** Trahie par l'homme même pour qui elle avait tant sacrifié, Luna, autrefois compréhensive et attentionnée, de la meute de Wolfhound, est rejetée par son mari pour une autre qu'il croyait être sa compagne. Alors qu'elle fuit pour sauver sa vie, un accident lui vole la mémoire pendant un court instant. Mais que se passe-t-il lorsque l'homme qui lui a planté un couteau si profondément dans le dos qu'il lui a blessé le cœur de manière irréversible réapparaît soudainement devant elle avec un titre qui lui revient de droit ? Les Alphas des Triplettes sont son seul espoir. Alors, lorsque ses anciennes aventures sexuelles d'esclave sexuelle se transforment en un plan de vengeance, Celeste doit gérer le désir et l'affection qu'elle ressent pour les frères afin d'atteindre son objectif à tout prix. Mais s'agira-t-il vraiment de vengeance ou leur relation va-t-elle se transformer en quelque chose d'inattendu ?

Cela faisait neuf ans que j'étais mariée à Ryan Toutain. Lui, un pur-sang, l'Alpha suprême de la Meute de Crocs d'Argent. Moi, juste une Luna par intérim, choisie pour une alliance politique au sein du clan. En neuf ans, il avait ramené cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf femmes. Ce soir, ce serait la deux-centième : une jeune Oméga à peine majeure, qui lui avait lancé des signaux d'accouplement en pleine réception. Ryan n'avait pas refusé. Il l'avait même ramenée sur nos terres. En entrant, la fille m'a aperçue assise sur le canapé du salon. Son regard s'est fait immédiatement narquois : « Alpha… c'est donc ça, ta Luna… celle que tu n'as même pas marquée ? » Ryan, affalé dans son fauteuil, a répondu avec nonchalance : « Ouais. » Elle s'est approchée, me dominant de toute sa hauteur, un sourire insolent aux lèvres. Sa main est venue tapoter ma joue, doucement mais avec une provocation évidente : « Écoute bien ce soir… comme ça, tu sauras enfin comment rendre un Alpha fou. » Cette nuit-là, j'ai dû rester plantée devant leur chambre, subissant jusqu'à l'aube les gémissements qui dégoulinaient de l'étage, comme un « rituel » d'humiliation. Au matin, Ryan est descendu comme d'habitude, l'air indifférent : « Prépare le petit-déjeuner. De la viande crue et du thé de cèdre. » J'ai refusé. Il semblait avoir oublié : notre union n'était qu'un contrat. Aucun marquage, aucun lien. Et il ne restait plus que trois jours avant son expiration...

"Huh," she said awkwardly, looking at her hands. Seriously, Grace, just die; she cursed herself. "But you know the funniest thing..." he said, now standing in front of her, since when, she wondered.

During the Labor Day team retreat, I had booked out the entire top floor of the Grand Summit Hotel. Yet, when my fiancee, Serena Wagner, found out, she was enraged. "Matthew Grant, are you out of your mind? Spending over 800,000 dollars to rent a place for one day? Since you're so rich and have nowhere else to splurge, just let me help you spend it!" Then, she called over our intern, Dylan Foster. She pointed at him and started yelling at me. "He only makes 6000 a month as an intern. Why don't you give him this money instead?" I looked at my colleagues standing nearby, their faces clearly uncomfortable. I replied calmly, "His salary isn't low compared to industry standards. Besides, the team-building budget belongs to everyone. Why should I give it all to him?" However, the moment those words left my mouth, Serena exploded. "I'm your finance director and your future wife! Of course, I get to control where your money goes. If you don't agree, then let's call off the engagement!" With that, she stormed off with Dylan. I silently picked up a bottle from the floor and poured myself three glasses. The first glass was for her, for being with me through the first half of my life. The second glass was for me, for having a clear conscience in this relationship. The third glass was for both of us. I wished us well as we parted ways and moved on with our separate lives.

For five years, I was married to Joshua Grayson. He was known as the gentleman of the tech industry and was never arrogant. In fact, he was always cool and collected. A shame we never had any children of our own. I asked every single doctor I could get my hands on, but nothing helped. For that, I kept beating myself up. Joshua told me that it was fine if we had no children, and that what mattered was that our souls were perfect for each other. We did not need any children to secure our bonds. I believed him. And then I found an unsealed box of Plan B in a secret space in his study. It looked exactly the same as the vitamin tablets he fed me all the time. A phone sat under the box. The screen was a photo of him with his top secretary, Yvonne Wellington. It was a family of three. Then, a message popped up on the screen. 'Our girl's born, Joshua! Haven't thought of her full name yet, so we'll call her Cece for now.' 'Oh, right, you fed your wife contraceptives for five years. Now that we have a perfect family, you should kick her out and make me your wife instead. When's that going to happen?' The message hit me like a lightning bolt that came out of nowhere. To think I wasted five years beating myself up for never getting a baby. To think I looked forward to one. And now, everything was crumbling around me.

On my wedding anniversary, I came home to rose petals and champagne. Instead of romance, I found my husband in bed with my sister—wearing the couture gown I designed for her runway debut. He called my designs "boring" and revealed the fashion house I built was actually funded by her secret investor money. The child we adopted? Her biological son with my husband, who she abandoned to chase Paris Fashion Week. I walked out in nothing but the lingerie prototype from my latest collection. In a snowstorm. Straight into an exclusive fashion week after-party where I met him: a mysterious man who mistook me for a model and offered me a drink that tasted like freedom. One night later, I owed him $100,000. Three months later, I discovered I was pregnant. And when I showed up to my job interview at the biggest fashion conglomerate in the industry, ready to prove my designs could save their failing luxury brand, the CEO sitting across from me was the same man from that night. He remembers me. He wants his money back. And he's offering me $5 million if I can take his brand from fashion week laughingstock to top five in three major shows. I took the bet. I just didn't tell him about the baby. Or that my ex-husband's textile company supplies the fabric for every major fashion house—including his.

"You think you can just leave without a trace after what happened that night?" His hands pinned her arms above her head, his piercing blue eyes boring into hers. "W-what do you mean?" she stuttered, his scent reminding her of that night—the night that had changed her life completely. "What do I mean? Are you seriously asking me that, woman? If your brain can't recall how we burned together on that bed, how about I remind you right here?" His face was dangerously close as he growled into her ear. Her eyes widened. He meant it. Every single word. He was the king of the entertainment world, after all. "Let me go," she demanded stubbornly, her voice barely audible. He let out a low, dark chuckle that sent a chill down her spine. "Let you go? Oh, I'll let you go, Tatiana. But not until you understand the consequences of crossing paths with me." •••••••••• In the world of the entertainment industry, we see constant change and creativity. Trends come and go, as do collaborations between artists and producers. This world can make anyone wish to be a part of it—it is said to be inspiring and enjoyable... Meanwhile, that's only on the surface. The same world is filled with deceit, betrayal, fake love, ruthless competition, toxic fans who could ruin you, suicide, and dissatisfaction... This world is mostly dominated by men. How can a woman, hurt by this world, face it—especially when she had a night and her life tangled with the king of them all?

Dans notre meute, chaque loup avait une seule chance dans sa vie d'utiliser un élixir d'amélioration pour renforcer ses capacités, mais cet élixir ne fonctionnait que s'il était préparé par soi-même. Dans ma vie précédente, même si j'étais une simple Oméga, j'avais passé mes journées et mes nuits à préparer mon propre élixir pour devenir la Gamma de la meute. Mais, le jour de la sélection, dès que je me suis transformée, j'ai totalement perdu le contrôle. Ma louve s'est aussitôt prosternée aux pieds de Victoria, la petite-fille du Bêta actuel. Sous les acclamations de toute la meute, Victoria est devenue la nouvelle Gamma. Moi, on m'a battue et humiliée. Tout le monde disait que j'avais volé l'élixir de Victoria, et c'est pour ça que je ne contrôlais plus ma louve. Ils m'ont coupé les deux mains et m'ont jetée dans une mine d'argent. J'ai souffert d'une douleur insupportable dans cette fosse, mes os rongés par l'argent. Jusqu'à mon dernier souffle, je n'ai pas compris… Comment mon propre élixir avait-il pu faire plier ma louve devant Victoria ? Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue une semaine avant la sélection du Gamma. Cette fois, j'ai renoncé à participer et je suis partie seule dans la forêt pour m'entraîner au combat. Le Bêta Richard est resté planté dans l'embrasure de ma maison, me demandant par notre lien mental pourquoi je partais à un moment si important. Pendant ce temps, j'ai retiré mon amulette protectrice, puis je me suis transformée seule en louve pour aller affronter les loups errants sur leur territoire.
