My wife, Rochelle Willoughby, went on a business trip for five months. When I picked her up at the airport, she showed up with her true love instead. I noticed her baby bump and was about to ask some questions, but she shoved me away like I was some disgusting piece of trash. "Don't touch me with your grubby hands. I'm pregnant with Samuel's baby. If you hurt it somehow, I'll kill you!" Then, she gently held Samuel Riverson's hand. "You must be exhausted. Let's go home." She left me at the airport without so much as a glance. I saw them off and quietly rubbed the part Rochelle shoved. Then, I contacted my divorce lawyer. Ten years. This marriage finally came to an end.

Sylvie s'est installée à nouveau au siège passager de la voiture de Lucien. Je n'en étais ni énervée ni protestée. J'ai simplement ouvert la portière arrière et me suis installée à côté de Dimitri, cousin de Lucien. Lorsque la voiture secouait, mon genou a effleuré sa cuisse ferme et tendue. J'ai délibérément choisi de ne pas me déplacer, et lui non plus. Nous avons fait une pause à une station-service. Sylvie a insisté pour que Lucien l'accompagne aux toilettes. Quand la porte de la voiture s'est refermée derrière eux, Dimitri a saisi ma nuque et m'a embrassée. Perdue dans ce baiser, je n'ai pas pu m'empêcher de penser : il est vrai que la trahison peut déclencher une sorte d'extase mentale indescriptible.

I've always yearned for a fairy tale love story with the perfect alpha partner, someone who would sweep me off my feet. However, in traditional fairy tales, the princess is meant to end up with a prince, not a swashbuckling pirate. Navigating the dynamics between alphas and omegas can be daunting, but deep down, I've always cherished the hope of discovering true love. Unfortunately, back in my hometown of Austin, it feels like nobody shares the same interest, and I spend every full moon in solitude. But everything changes now. I find myself once again in the clutches of my old, malevolent pack, determined to claim me as their own and keep me confined within their fortress at sea. The only obstacle preventing the pack's alpha from selecting a mate for me is the one person I never expected to come to my aid. Jack Heston, an uncompromising and mercenary soul. Jack insists that I am his destined mate, and he pays no heed to the rules imposed by the Dark Moon pack. To complicate matters further, he publicly declares his claim on me, marking me with his mating bite to track my whereabouts. I don't feel the familiar connection of a mating bond, but now Jack is in control, and he shows no intention of setting me free. However, it appears he harbours a secret, and just maybe, against all odds, he might be the key to helping me find my way back home

Léo, un jeune bibliothécaire urbain en quête de tranquillité, hérite d'une maison isolée en lisière d'une forêt ancestrale. Dès son arrivée, il est tiraillé entre deux présences mystérieuses. La nuit, il est hanté par les hurlements d'une meute de loups et par le regard flamboyant d'un solitaire qui rôde dans les ombres. Le jour, il est attiré par un chant envoûtant provenant du cœur des bois. Il découvre Kael, un Silvanien, esprit gardien de la forêt. Mi-homme mi-cervidé, couronné de bois et d'une beauté sauvage et sereine, Kael représente l'équilibre et la magie vitale de la nature. Leur connexion est immédiate, profonde et sensuelle. Leurs étreintes, souvent dans des clairières baignées de lune ou des sources chaudes magiques, sont une célébration de la vie : le corps de Kael s'illumine à son toucher, et leur passion fait fleurir la flore autour d'eux. Cependant, cet amour naissant est menacé. Elias, le loup-garou solitaire au regard de braise, voit en Léo son "âme sœur", la personne destinée à apaiser la bête en lui. Rongé par une sauvagerie qu'il peine à contrôler, son désir pour Léo est possessif, primal et dangereux. Léo se retrouve au centre d'un triangle amoureux déchirant, tiraillé entre la douceur envoûtante de l'esprit des bois et la passion sauvage et destructrice du loup.

De dix à dix-huit ans, mes parents m'ont fait signer deux cent quatre-vingt-dix-neuf reconnaissances de dette. Chaque somme que je leur ai demandée, j'ai dû l'emprunter et je devais les rembourser une fois que je serais adulte. Puis j'ai eu un accident de voiture. Quand il a fallu payer les frais de chirurgie, il manquait encore trois mille euros sur mon compte. À bout de ressources, je n'ai eu d'autre choix que de supplier mes parents. Mais ils ont juste eu un rire froid : « Manon Besson, tu as déjà dix-huit ans, nous n'avons plus l'obligation de te donner de l'argent ! Tu dois signer une autre reconnaissance de dette ! » Les larmes aux yeux, j'ai signé la trois-centième reconnaissance de dette. Après l'opération, cependant, j'ai vu les photos que ma sœur adoptive avait publiées sur Instagram. Sur les photos, elle fêtait ses dix-huit ans sur un paquebot à l'étranger, entourée de personnes, comme une petite princesse. Mes parents lui ont offert un luxueux appartement dans le centre de Paris et les clés d'une Maserati. Même mon ami d'enfance la regardait avec des yeux pleins d'amour. Elle a écrit : « Merci à ceux que j'aime le plus pour ce bonheur parfait. » Et moi, j'ai baissé les yeux vers la reconnaissance de dette froissée dans ma main et j'ai soudain souri. Après avoir remboursé les dettes, je n'aurais plus besoin d'une telle famille.
