Dies Irae Song

I confirmed Vincent Lowe was cheating on me on the day of our third wedding anniversary. The dining table was filled with dishes, yet he barely touched his fork before heading out the door. "Where are you going?" I asked. His answer was unnervingly straightforward. "A friend's treating me to dinner. Cassidy Mason—you know her, right? It's a free meal. It'd be a waste not to accept." An hour later, however, I received a voice message from Cassidy. In the message, Vincent's voice was lighter and livelier—so different from how he ever sounded with me. "They say you should marry someone you can truly enjoy a meal with. I really regret meeting you so late. If only I had known you earlier, I would've married you instead." I listened in silence. Then, alone at the table, I finished every last bite of the meal I had prepared. Afterward, I left a divorce agreement behind.

I'm a married woman who committed adultery shortly after getting married. In hindsight, the first time I came to close to cheating happened under my husband's orchestration…

To break my marriage contract, I offered my virginity to my father's Alpha Friends—the Sterling twins. And they didn't want me. *** When my mate died in mysterious circumstances, my world shattered. And before I could even grieve, my father arranged my marriage to another Alpha, one of his powerful business allies. Henry Richardson—a monster. The catch? The bride had to be a virgin. To break the marriage contract, I needed to do the unthinkable—lose my innocence before the wedding. And the only men I could see who had the power... were the ones I should never have looked at twice. The Sterling Twins. Alpha Ashton Sterling and Alpha Jax Sterling—my father's oldest friends, ruthless, dangerous, and utterly off-limits. They swore they wouldn't touch me. They swore they wouldn't let the contract break because that's what my father asked for. And I? I swore I'd make them. But soon the nights filled reckless sins started to unravel secrets that were never meant to be found—because my mate didn't just die. He was murdered. And the monster behind it all... might just be the man who raised me.

On the night of my wedding, my fated mate cut my heart out of my chest for his lover. I should have stayed dead. Instead, the cold, crazy goddess stitched me back together and gave me a choice: I have to tempt the Alpha King during his trial, Make him fall, Or die for real this time. So I did the unthinkable. I touched him. I pushed him. I teased him. I made the most dangerous man in the world want me and when he finally kissed me- some curse struck and I swapped bodies with him. Now I’m stuck in the Alpha King’s body for the rest of the trial, trying to hold his kingdom together while he’s trapped in mine. And when we finally switch back, the scandal is worse than either of us imagined. He wants me dead so he can stop the chaos I have caused. I want to live so I can exact my revenge. The curse isn’t done with us either, because we keep switching at the worst possible times, forcing us to feel everything the other feels. The heat. The hunger. The fury. The maddening desire. We can’t stop switching. We can’t stop touching each other, and I can’t tell if we’re going to kill each other first… or burn the kingdom down in his bed. He might be my curse, I might be his downfall.But the goddess didn’t give me a second chance just to die for him.

Mon compagnon Éthan, un Oméga sans loup, que personne ne veut embaucher comme employé régulier, nous fait vivre dans la pauvreté, mais je suis convaincue que notre amour nous permettra de surmonter toutes les difficultés. La septième année après mon accouplement avec Éthan, en raison de la faim, mon fils Théo et moi passons la nuit à chercher de la nourriture dans les poubelles. Théo fouille une poubelle rapidement et doucement, il trouve habilement de la nourriture et me dit joyeusement : « Maman, cette poubelle appartient à un restaurant Michelin, la nourriture qui s'y trouve est fraîche et délicieuse, ramenons-la à papa pour qu'il la goûte ! » Le lendemain, je mets mes vêtements les plus décents, qui ont été décolorés par trop de lavages, et j'essaie de postuler pour un poste de nettoyage dans ce restaurant. Si je réussis l'entretien, je pourrais au moins ramener les restes de nourriture à la maison avant qu'ils ne soient jetés à la poubelle. Mais quand je lève les yeux, je vois Éthan sortir d'une limousine de dizaines de millions d'euros, suivi d'une mère et d'un fils luxueusement vêtus. Je reconnais la femme comme étant Miranda, l'amie d'enfance d'Éthan. Le patron s'excuse : « Je suis désolé, Madame Chantal, Alpha Éthan a réservé tout le restaurant pour Miranda aujourd'hui, j'ai dû me concentrer sur le service et je n'ai pas le temps de faire un entretien avec vous. Vous pourrez revenir une autre fois. » A ce moment-là, mon fils et moi nous figeons sur place tous les deux.

I spent a year starving for a man who wouldn't touch me. Then his father and brother decided to feast. Rob called me a slut when I begged him to fuck me. Made me feel worthless for craving his hands on my body. Then he let another woman suck his cock right in front of me—and told me she did it better. I should have left. But I followed him to his family's private island in Italy instead. That's where I met them. Victor Marchetti. Rob's father. Silver hair, ice-blue eyes, and a body built for sin. He looked at me like he wanted to devour me whole. When his hand touched the small of my back, I felt it between my thighs. Dante. The older brother. Dark, dangerous, and built like he could break me apart with his bare hands. One look from those black eyes and I was wet. One word from that deep voice and I was ready to drop to my knees. I tried to resist. Tried to remember I had a boyfriend sleeping down the hall. But they hunted me. Cornered me. Made me admit what my body had been screaming for. When they finally took me—both of them, at the same time, claiming every hole, every sound, every desperate whimper—I understood what I'd been missing. Victor's hand around my throat while Dante buried himself so deep I couldn't breathe. Two men who didn't just want me. They needed me. Owned me. Ruined me for anyone else. Rob made me beg for scraps. His father and brother made me scream their names.

"Answer my question and I would more than love to continue." I find myself nodding frantically and his chuckle echoes in his body. "Use your words." I find myself blushing again but I say nothing. He pulls a breath away from me. When I continue to say nothing he leans back down, briefly brushing his lips over mine with no pressure behind it. His hand on the base of my neck moves up slightly, tilting my head back to his side so my neck is to him. His fingertips brushing over my skin sends a large wave of tingles through me and I can't suppress the shudder that leaves me. He brushes his nose against my neck and I tighten my fisted hand to a point of pain. His hand on my waist quickly goes to my fisted knuckles and smooths them out onto his chest once again.
