Blurb. Julliette Mercer swore she would never risk her career for a man. As the new sports therapist for the NHL’s most ruthless team, the Blackridge Wolves, she expects bruises, injuries, and egos the size of the rink. What she doesn’t expect is the way every star player looks at her—hungry, feral, as if she’s already theirs. The Wolves’ captain, Bryan Maddox, is ice and fire, dominance carved into muscle. His touch burns, his stare strips her bare, and his warning is clear: stay away, or you’ll regret it. But Bryan isn’t the only one circling. His teammates stalk her with the same dark intensity, each one determined to claim what instinct says belongs to them. They tell her it’s fate. She calls it madness. Yet every stolen glance, every forbidden touch, pulls her deeper into their world. A world of secrets, violence, and hunger that has nothing to do with the game. And when a rival Alpha decides to take her for himself, Julliette learns the truth: the Blackridge Wolves aren’t just men. They are predators. And the most dangerous thing she can do is love them back. Julliete is caught between ruin and ecstasy. To resist them is impossible. To surrender might cost her everything.

From a simple girl doing menial jobs to survive, to a “beast” locked away in a dungeon. Ivory was framed for killing the Alpha of her pack and thrown into the dungeon for months, injected with chemicals that clouded her mind and twisted her from a sweet, ordinary girl into someone aggressive and uncontrollable. And so, people began to whisper that she was “crazy.” Then came Alpha Rowan, the Obsidian Wolf and ruler of Snowfall pack. He came to Moonlight pack, in search of something important. That was when he found Ivory, caged and defiant. He knew, without a doubt, that she was his mate, and he took her back to his pack. As the drugs began to wear off, sparks ignited, enemies closed in, secrets unraveled, and a truth far more shocking than anyone imagined came to light. Will this truth be able to prove Ivory's innocence, or would she be dragged back to the dungeons to rot forever?

Trois ans après ma mort, mon mari s'est enfin souvenu de moi. Parce que sa précieuse amie d'enfance a rechuté d'une leucémie myéloïde, et qu'elle a de nouveau besoin d'une greffe de cellules souches hématopoïétiques. Il s'est rendu à l'adresse où j'habitais autrefois, dans l'intention de me faire signer un formulaire de don. Mais il a découvert que l'appartement était vide depuis bien longtemps. Alors il est allé se renseigner auprès des voisins. L'un d'eux lui a dit : « Vous parlez de Coco ? Elle est morte depuis un moment, la pauvre. On raconte qu'on l'a forcée à donner sa moelle alors qu'elle était déjà malade. Et à peine revenue chez elle, elle a rendu son dernier souffle. » Il a refusé d'y croire, convaincu que les voisins et moi étions de mèche pour lui jouer un sale tour. Agacé, il s'est tourné vers le voisin et a lancé d'un ton excédé : « Si jamais vous la croisez, dites-lui que si elle ne se montre pas dans les trois jours, je ne verserai plus un centime pour les frais médicaux de son sale gamin. » Le voisin, voyant qu'il n'y avait rien à tirer de lui, a secoué la tête et s'est éloigné en murmurant : « Le pauvre gosse... il est mort de faim depuis longtemps, lui aussi... »

"You wanted me to fail," she yelled, her voice shaking with rage and desperation. "You wanted me to prove you right." "No." My voice was a low, feral growl. "I wanted to know if you'd stand your ground. And you did." You stood your ground, held my life in your hand, and chose to keep it breathing. That was all I needed to see. Her defiance was a thin wall, her trembling betraying her. "This doesn't make me yours." I leaned in, my lips a hair's breadth from hers. The scent of her… of wood smoke and sweat, and something wild and unmistakably Lyra… filled my senses. "You already are," I whispered against her lips. "Even in your hate." *************************************** Lyra, the last warrior-heir of Ravengarde, detests Kael, the cruel enemy alpha who murdered her family, burned her castle, and claimed her as his ruthless spoils. Imprisoned in his domineering Shadowfen Keep, her rage is a burning blaze, battling the forbidden, wild linkage that brings her closer with each bitter glance and each jealous touch. She promises to kill him, break free from his shadow magic, even as his control ignites a deadly, forbidden desire in her. But when Lyra learns the horrible truth… that the betrayal that had destroyed her clan was not schemed by Kael, but by her own ruthless bloodline in a lust for power… her world shatters. Every sadistic phrase, every brutal touch she endured under Kael's command now bears an abject truth: the enemy that she had sworn to kill was, in reality, protecting her, and is now very likely the only one who can save her from a much darker fate than his claim.

Ayah memilih sepasang anak kembar di pasar gelap untuk dijadikan budak bagi aku dan kakakku. Kakakku lebih dulu memilih sang kakak, bertubuh tinggi dan gagah, meninggalkanku dengan si adik yang sudah sekarat, si "bisu". Aku merasa kasihan padanya, maka aku membiarkannya tinggal di sisiku. Ia tidak bisa bicara, maka aku membawanya berobat ke mana-mana. Ia memiliki fobia kebersihan yang parah, maka aku menjaga jarak dengannya. Aku mengira semua itu akibat trauma yang pernah ia alami. Hingga suatu hari, musuh ayah menculik aku dan kakakku. Ia justru meninggalkanku, tanpa ragu memilih mati untuk melindungi kakakku dari tembakan.

Apa yang disebut "bisu" dan "fobia kebersihan" hanya ditujukan kepadaku.. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari pemilihan budak. Kali ini, aku mengabulkan permintaannya.

She was discarded like a tool after being drained dry, yet became the only mate of a tyrant Lycan king.
