At the engagement party, the champagne tower is only half-built when Marcus Harrison answers a phone call. He glances at me and says, "I have to go. Lily collapsed at the airport." I say, "If you leave, we're done." He leaves anyway, in front of 200 guests. He carries Lily Bardot in his arms, wearing the coat I gave him, as he drives away in my car. The next day, he sends me an email that reads, "Lily will be moving into my apartment. She needs me, and I hope you can understand. Once Lily gets better, we'll get married. Please trust me." I stare at the screen and suddenly laugh. So what he wants isn't someone who loves him. It's someone who needs him. And I'm too independent, so I don't make the cut. That evening, I scroll through my contacts and find a number I've never given a second glance to. It belongs to someone who's been waiting for me for 23 years. I dial it. "Tomorrow night, 7:00 pm. Meet me at the restaurant by the sea."

On an ominous night, under the glow of the blood moon, a girl was born from a cursed union. Raised in a courtesan house and lived as a whore. Freya was to be sold to the king to build his harem. But she has heard about the ruthless king. He'd kill the girls after his sick pleasures. One night, she decided to flee from the shackles that held her bound. In her attempt to escape, she stumbled into Werewolves' territory ruled by the formidable Lycan king. Alpha Leonidas Everhart Dark wood. Doesn't need a mate because he's cursed to kill her. Doesn't want one but he's fated to the very specie he loathes—a human. But Freya isn't just any human. Something ancient is in her blood. A lure pheromone that draws monsters to her. As her powers awaken, mystical creatures crawl from the shadows. Leonidas has no choice but to protect his mate because that's the only way for his redemption. And she turns out to be the daughter of the witch who cursed him. Will he reject the mate bond or keep her close?

Ethan Cross doesn’t just defend monsters—he is one. A predator wrapped in a lawyer’s skin, he stalks the courtroom with the same precision he hunts beneath the moon. Every case he wins buries his secret deeper: a beast who thrives on order and control. Until her. Anna. Wild, relentless, and dangerous as the full moon itself. She doesn’t want mercy—she wants vengeance. Years ago, Ethan’s silver tongue freed the man who left her father in the ground. Now, under the ruin of a forgotten chapel, she shackles Ethan in chains he can’t slip, demanding the one thing he swore he’d never give—his loyalty. But justice in the shadows is no clean crusade. Together, they tear into a city built on corruption, where blood is currency and power tastes sweeter than wine. And somewhere between fury and fire, hate begins to twist into hunger. She was his enemy. He was her captive. But under the full moon, chains ignite, and monsters learn that desire is the most dangerous law of all.

Après que l'amie d'enfance de mon fiancé a découvert que j'étais née avec une maladie cardiaque, elle a secrètement versé une boisson énergisante à haute dose dans mon champagne. Dès que je l'ai bue, mon cœur s'est mis à battre la chamade et une douleur aiguë s'est propagée dans ma poitrine. Paniquée, j'ai déballé mon seul médicament d'urgence, mais l'eau que j'utilisais pour le prendre avait été remplacée par de l'eau citronnée. Dès que je l'ai bue, mon visage a pâli. J'ai perdu toute force et je me suis effondrée sur le sol. « L'eau citronnée est pleine de vitamine C. Elle aide à lutter contre la gueule de bois et à rester en bonne santé. » Charlotte Moreau a ri si fort qu'elle a failli se renverser. Les bras croisés, elle a regardé mon fiancé, Étienne Lacroix, le patron des Pierres Roulantes. « Étienne, le jeu de ta fiancée est incroyable ! » « Je suis médecin depuis des années et je n'ai jamais vu quelqu'un réagir comme ça à un peu de champagne et d'eau citronnée. » Je me suis mordu la lèvre jusqu'à goûter le sang. La douleur m'a piqué les yeux et j'ai serré la jambe d'Étienne. « Chéri, s'il te plaît, appelle une ambulance ! Je n'en peux plus... » Pendant un instant, son expression a vacillé, mais les invités ont rapidement interrompu la conversation. « Mais arrête de faire semblant ! Personne ne meurt d'un peu de champagne et d'eau citronnée. » « Oui, tu es juste jalouse que Charlotte ait été promue et tu ne voulais pas lui porter un toast. » Le visage d'Étienne est redevenu froid. Il a repoussé ma main et s'est écarté. « Charlotte est médecin. Tu seras bien avec elle ici. » J'ai arrêté de supplier et j'ai envoyé un texte à mon père pour lui demander de l'aide.

Warning: Dark and BDSM theme story which involves highly adult content in the beginning. A naive maid who worked for two domineering billionaire brothers was attempting to hide from them because she had heard that if their lustful eyes fell on any woman, they made her their slave and owned her mind, body, and soul. What if she one day came across them? Who would hire her to serve as his personal maid? Who would control her body? Whose heart would she rule? Who would she fall in love with? Who would she despise? *** “Please don’t punish me. I’ll be on time next time. It is just that-“ “If next time you speak without my permission, I’ll shut you up with my shaft.” My eyes enlarge, listening to his words. *** “You belong to me, Kitten.” He pounds into me hard and fast, going deeper into me with his every thrust. “I… be…long.. to you, Master…” I’m just moaning insanely, clenching my hands behind my back.
