Selena learned early how to make herself smaller. As a plus-size omega, she grew up under laughter that followed her through hallways and silence that taught her she was never meant to be chosen. She was expected to endure, not dream. To accept whatever scraps of kindness came her way. So when Alpha Christopher claimed her, she believed it meant something. That she had finally escaped being invisible. That love had seen past her body, past her place, and decided she was worth keeping. She’s wrong. On the night before she becomes Luna, her mate destroys everything she believed in. His betrayal is cruel. His rejection is worse. And when she runs, she isn’t looking for love. She’s just trying to breathe. She finds one night of quiet ruin with a stranger named D. A man who looks at her like she is not too much. A man who protects her without asking and takes her without shame. By morning, she leaves, certain it was only a mistake. Back at the packhouse, the bullying returns. The control tightens. And the Alpha King is coming. Her ex’s uncle. A man feared for his cruelty and power. What Selena doesn’t know is that the man she plans to use to survive is the same man who already claimed her body in the dark. And when he realizes who she is, he won’t see a weak omega or a girl taught to feel small. He will see something that belongs to him. And he will not let her go.

Mon compagnon de destin, Raoul, était l'Alpha d'une meute pathétique au bord de l'effondrement. Pendant cinq ans, j'étais son ombre, son stratège. J'ai construit sa meute à partir de rien jusqu'à ce que l'Alliance nous reconnaisse enfin et que nous soyons prêts à partir vers les terres fertiles. Raoul a promis que nous aurions notre cérémonie d'accouplement une fois installés sur le nouveau territoire. Mais lors de la fête de célébration, la nuit précédant le déménagement, il m'a jetée dans une cellule. Il a annoncé publiquement que Jeanne, la louve qui portait son petit, serait la Luna de la meute. Je n'arrivais pas à y croire. Je lui ai crié dessus, mais il s'est contenté de ricaner et de pointer un cristal chargé de magie noire. « Jeanne a déjà la preuve de ta trahison ! Tu couches avec les Alphas pour obtenir leur soutien. Tu me rends malade ! » Je l'ai supplié, mais il s'est contenté de me trancher la joue avec la lettre de refus aux bords argentés, me mettant formellement à l'écart. Mais il ne savait pas qui j'étais vraiment. J'étais la fille du roi Alpha. Les stratégies, le pouvoir, les alliances - ils n'étaient pas les siens, mais les miens. J'ai donc tout repris.

Mais ce qu’Elio n’avait pas prévu, c’est que Sofia ne se laisse pas dominer facilement. Elle attise en lui un feu qu’il pensait éteint depuis longtemps, un désir féroce mêlé de colère, de possession et de jalousie. Quant à Sofia, elle découvre un monde de luxe, de violence et de plaisir interdit où la peur se mêle à l’excitation, et où chaque nuit avec Elio efface un peu plus ses repères.

Mon compagnon, l'Alpha Suprême de la meute, m'a juré une fidélité absolue pour la vie. Pourtant, le soir de notre anniversaire, j'ai senti sur lui le parfum d'une autre femme. Plus tard, lors d'une soirée, il m'a tenu la main et m'a regardée avec une douceur presque dévouée. Il m'a promis que j'étais la seule qu'il chérirait dans toute sa vie. Mais quelques instants plus tard, je l'ai surpris devant le salon privé, enlacé par sa maîtresse. Il se vantait auprès de ses amis de leur étreinte brûlante. Ce n'est qu'après que les anciens de la famille l'ont fouetté presque jusqu'à la mort avec des lanières imprégnées d'argent qu'il a enfin commencé à comprendre. Quand il murmurait mon nom dans son délire fiévreux, quelque chose a semblé se briser en lui. Il a appris enfin ce que signifiait perdre quelqu'un pour de bon. Son grand-père m'a appelée, suppliant : « Il est en train de mourir. S'il te plaît, viens le voir une dernière fois. » Je gardais une voix calme : « C'était son choix. » Il ne comprenait pas que certaines trahisons ne pouvaient jamais être pardonnées. Pas depuis l'instant où elles se sont produites.

"Veronica is pregnant!", Mother said loudly I stopped dead in my tracks. The realization of that hit me suddenly like I was unaware of it before. "Your younger sister, Veronica is pregnant, Adele! She is", mother said again. I sucked in a very sharp breath, trying to keep myself in control and perfect order as I turned to face mother and spat those words out. "I am not getting married. I am not getting married to someone I do not know. No, that is not going to happen", I said very clearly this time and I saw a tear drop from my mother's right eye. "Do you not get it? You have no choice in this. You have no say in this!"
