Cigarette Daydreams Lyrics

He called me disposable. The Tribunal called me property. They both forgot what Lunaris does to cages. I was the Alpha’s kept woman for five years—his secret, his softness, his sin. Then, the night his missing Luna returned, Alpha Daire Vhaloren stood on the balcony with a cigarette dangling from his fingers and told me, without even looking, “You should go” So I did. Obedient. Quiet. Disposable. I left with his gifts, a deed to a house… and a secret I never planned to carry. Three months later, headlines screamed that Daire’s empire had collapsed. Frostveil Manor sealed. Nightmoor Covenant assets set for auction. The woman he “chose” over me, Calista Dravenne, smiled for the cameras like she hadn’t just burned his world to the ground. I tried to stay gone. Until the High Howl Tribunal branded me a recoverable asset and announced a “live appraisal” of Lot One—the pregnant omega they swore belonged to them. I went back for answers. What I found wasn’t the untouchable Alpha who dismissed me. It was a man with stubble on his jaw, a hunted kind of murder in his eyes… and a voice that made my knees weak when he said, “Why are you here, Elowen?” Because he rejected me once. Because he replaced me. Because he doesn’t know the truth. And because the bond he tried to throw away is coming for us both—along with the child he never knew I was carrying. Now Daire wants a contract marriage to save what’s left of his pack. I want revenge… and protection. But when an Alpha realizes the woman he discarded is his fated mate—and the lost heir of House Lunaris—he doesn’t beg politely. He hunts. ---

Aurora Sinclair a tout sacrifié par amour, jusqu'à son propre corps. Elle a donné un rein pour sauver son mari, pour n'être remerciée que par la trahison. Piégée, rejetée, divorcée et ruinée. Mais elle n'était pas seule. Portant l'enfant dont Adrian Kingston ignorait l'existence, Aurora a disparu dans l'ombre, pour se réveiller aux côtés d'un inconnu, un homme aussi brisé qu'elle. Zane Carter. Impétueux. Intouchable. Cachant des secrets plus sombres que ses tatouages. Un homme qui l'a demandée en mariage dans un brouillard d'alcool et de chagrin, et elle a dit oui. Des années plus tard, Aurora est de retour. Non plus comme la femme qu'ils ont détruite, mais comme celle qu'ils devraient craindre. Mais le destin n'en a pas fini avec elle. Adrian est sur le point de se remarier, avec la femme qui a ruiné sa vie. La vérité sur sa trahison se dévoile peu à peu. Et Zane ? Il ne la laissera pas partir. « Tu veux te venger, ma belle ? » Les lèvres de Zane se tordent en un sourire narquois, tandis qu’il fait tourner une cigarette éteinte autour de son doigt. « Réduisons-les en cendres ensemble. » Mais dans ce jeu de mensonges, de pouvoir et de tromperie, qui est le chasseur et qui est la proie ? Car la véritable guerre ne fait que commencer.

When Tessa Shoreman read Henry Jennings' cancer report, she immediately paid her hard-earned money of sixty thousand to the hospital. She had saved the money from working part-time while she was in university. However, she was worried the money was not enough, so she held back her fear as she sold a kidney to the black market to get more. As she walked to the ward door with a heavy bag filled with cash, she heard shrill laughter coming from inside. "That cheap woman, Tessa Shoreman, got tricked by us again. Haha!" Tessa's hand gave pause right when she was about to push the door open. What did he mean by saying she was tricked? Tessa looked through the glass on the door to see inside the ward. When she left, the man looked extremely weak, but he was now sitting up lazily in bed. Henry had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was blowing smoke rings nonchalantly. He did not look like a cancer patient at all. "It's been two years, and that woman still has no idea." "If she hadn't beaten Serene to first place, Henry would never have left behind his life as a rich heir and planned such an elaborate scheme to become a working-class man living in a cheap rental home. The way that cheap, penniless woman looks at Henry is so amusing." "We agreed that the punishment ends when Henry and Serene get engaged. It looks like time is almost up. We've probably punished her 108 times in the past two years." "The first time was lying to her that Henry didn't have a suit for a job interview. She worked tirelessly for 72 hours straight before she earned enough money for one, but that suit was given to the domestic help to use as a cleaning cloth. The second time was tricking her into believing Henry had a high fever. She forfeited during the finals of a scientific research competition to race home and take care of Henry in the hospital…" "Sigh. Too bad it's coming to an end. I'm going to miss entertaining myself with her."
