Corruption Kink

Dans les bas-fonds d'une ville rongée par la corruption et la violence, Aleksandr Volkov, un assassin sadique à l’humour mordant, règne sur le crime avec une précision chirurgicale. Il aime tuer, il aime le chaos, et il aime surtout voir ses ennemis supplier. Mais sa routine macabre bascule lorsqu'il croise Eden Hale, une jeune femme trop belle pour être innocente, trop intrépide pour être raisonnable… et dotée d’un étrange pouvoir : son sang attire les gens comme un aimant. Littéralement. Quand Eden échappe miraculeusement à une tentative d’enlèvement, Aleksandr, intrigué par cette anomalie vivante, décide de la garder sous sa coupe. Mais ce qu’il ne sait pas, c’est qu’Eden n’est pas qu’une victime : c’est une emmerdeuse de premier ordre, capable de tenir tête à un monstre comme lui avec un sourire insolent. Entre bastons spectaculaires, quiproquos hilarants et une tension électrique qui menace d’exploser à chaque regard, Aleksandr et Eden se retrouvent pris dans un tourbillon de violence, de passion et de situations absurdes. Car si son sang attire les gens, c’est Aleksandr qui, malgré lui, est irrésistiblement attiré par elle. Mais peut-on vraiment aimer un homme qui prend un peu trop son pied en assassinant ses adversaires ? Et peut-on survivre quand on est une bombe à retardement en cavale avec le pire psychopathe de la ville ? Une chose est sûre : ça va saigner… et ça va faire rire.

“Do you think locking me up here will make me yours?” I whispered, eyes burning with unshed tears. “I’m not a thing you can own, Alpha. I will never be yours! You have the deed to my body, but you’ll never have the deed to my soul!” He stepped closer, his gaze unwavering.“You’re right. I don’t own your soul. But I will make you mine in ways you’ll never expect. Besides, wildflower, you’re already mine in ways you can’t even understand.” ************************* When the new Alpha King’s regime was implemented, the whole werewolf world was turned on its head, and corruption, greed, and terror spread across the land. The old alphas fell from power along with all their packs and families. Verania Waters was no exception—as the daughter of an old alpha, she received the worst treatment. Raised by a woman who hated her, once she turned twenty-one, she was sold in an auction to the notorious Rasmon Olafur, dubbed the Cruel Alpha, to become nothing more than a tool for procreation. A breeder. Ruthless, cold, and commanding, he kept her locked in his mansion, where her only purpose was to give him heirs. However, as the days went by, Verania began to see glimpses of a man behind the cruel mask—one haunted by secrets, fear, and a dark past that shaped him into who he is. It called to her in ways she couldn’t explain. But the truth was far darker than she could ever have imagined. In this deadly game of deception and power, could Verania trust the Cruel Alpha? Or would the lie she spun trap them both in a world where love was the greatest risk of all?

The Shadow Knight is a dark fantasy novel that follows the transformation of Kaelen Dawnblade, a once honourable knight whose world is shattered when the corrupt religious Council falsely accuses his family of heresy. The story begins with Kaelen serving faithfully as a Knight-Captain in the Holy Citadel of Light. His perfect life crumbles when he's summoned to the capital, where the High Council, led by Grand Inquisitor Matthias, fabricates charges of shadow cult involvement against House Dawnblade. Despite Kaelen's protests, his family is systematically destroyed. His father executed, his sister Lyanna tortured, and his young nephew Marcus killed during "questioning." After escaping imprisonment, Kaelen discovers the true nature of the Council's corruption: they've been eliminating eastern lords who questioned their increasing taxes and power. Consumed by rage and betrayal, Kaelen encounters a mysterious merchant who guides him to the Soulstone, an ancient artifact of darkness. Through brutal trials that strip away his humanity piece by piece, he transforms into the Shadow Knight, a being of darkness with extraordinary powers. As the Shadow Knight, Kaelen begins a calculated campaign of vengeance against the Council, gathering allies among the oppressed. He discovers his new abilities allow him to destroy and heal, creating an unexpected inner conflict. Throughout his journey, he struggles with what remains of his humanity, ultimately choosing to retain his sense of justice rather than becoming a mindless force of destruction. The novel explores themes of corruption, vengeance, transformation, and the thin line between justice and revenge. As Kaelen evolves from righteous knight to shadow wielding avenger, the story questions whether one can fight monsters without becoming a monster oneself.

'"Tell me what you want, Amara,” Zane said, voice like silk over fire. His lips were a whisper from mine. I could feel the tension in his body. The restraint. The raw, maddening awareness. He dragged a finger down my cheek. “To be touched? Or to be remembered?” I stared at him. “Neither. I just want you gone.” “You don’t mean that,” he said, leaning in just a fraction closer. “I do,” I lied. His breath fanned my lips. His nose grazed mine. I felt every inch of my body coil, traitorous and trembling. I wanted him to kiss me. But it would be wrong. He was engaged to someone else.' *** He is the bridegroom. She is the wedding planner.
