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.

Nothing is ever going to be the same again. In a way I am glad, changes needed to be made, but for the people we have lost, there are some wounds that will never heal. My mate comes behind me and wraps me in a tight embrace. We have never been this close before. It feels like everything in the world, except the Goddess, has kept us apart. Let me step back. My name is Leah and I am the only daughter, only child of Alpha Benjamin of the Crescent Moon pack. We're a part of a cooperative pack alliance called the Concordat. I know, it's as pretentious as it sounds, note my eye roll here. All of our Elders got together years ago to come together for protection and to ensure the survival of our race. Our Concordat, yep say it as snooty as you can, was made up initially of 10 packs in the shadow of a vast mountain range. This alliance worked exactly as it was designed for about 5 generations. But the Elders became set in their ways and used to certain comforts. They stopped participating in regular pack training, only including themselves high rank training of the Alphas and Betas and begrudgingly dealt with the Lunas at the compound. Males were taught they were superior simply being male, not for any other show of merit. Women were seen, and that was only if dressed properly, and to produce strong male heirs. My father did not believe in females being lesser, so he trained me well from the time I could walk. I trained in secret, learning skills on and off the field. Let me take you on my journey through love, loss and truly knowing what it means to be a friend, lover, mate, leader and enemy.
