Emma Castle

Lorsque le criminel me torture à mort, je suis enceinte de trois mois. Mais mon mari Marc – le détective le plus éminent de la ville – est à l’hôpital avec son premier amour, Emma, l’accompagnant pour son examen médical. Il y a trois jours, il m’a demandé de donner mon rein à Emma. Lorsque j’ai refusé, en lui expliquant que j’attendais notre enfant depuis deux mois, son regard s’est glacé. « Arrête de mentir », a-t-il grondé. « Tu es juste égoïste, tu essaies de laisser Emma mourir. » Il s’est arrêté sur l’autoroute sombre. « Descends », a-t-il ordonné. « Rentre chez toi à pied, puisque tu es aussi sans cœur. » Je suis restée là, dans l’obscurité, et j’ai été kidnappée par le criminel vengeur, que Marc avait autrefois emprisonné. Il m’a coupé la langue. Avec une satisfaction cruelle, il a utilisé mon téléphone pour appeler mon mari. La réponse de Marc a été brève et froide : « Peu importe ce que c’est, l’examen médical d’Emma est plus important ! Elle a besoin de moi maintenant. » Le criminel a laissé échapper un rire sombre. « Eh bien, eh bien… On dirait que le grand détective valorise plus la vie de son ex que celle de sa femme actuelle. » Lorsque Marc arrive sur la scène du crime, des heures plus tard, il est horrifié par la brutalité infligée au cadavre. Il condamne avec colère le meurtrier pour avoir traité une femme enceinte avec autant de cruauté. Mais il ne connaît pas que le corps mutilé devant lui est celui de sa propre femme – moi.

“I know you want me in jail, but I want you in my bed.” Every man and woman Ángel meets disappears. Their severed finger arrives first, like a pretty little Christmas gift, wrapped in silk and presented in box filled with silent promises from his stalker. Castle, Mafia heir. Executioner. Obsessed beyond reason. He doesn’t send threats. He sends bodies. Because no one touches what belongs to him. No one tastes what he’s claimed. And if they try? They bleed for it. At sixteen, Ángel Di Cristina lost everything. His father—an FBI agent—was closing in on the Mafia when a brutal massacre left his parents dead. But that night, one masked man went rogue. He killed his own allies, marked Ángel with a scar, and disappeared. For years, Ángel hunted him. And now, he’s closer than ever. But Castle doesn’t play by rules. He never had. What he wanted, he got. He bends Ángel, fills his whole life with the thought of him. He whispers filthy things against his throat while pressing a knife to his pulse. Run? Hide? Fight? Useless. Because Castillo doesn’t just want to own Ángel. He wants to ruin him. And the worst part? Ángel is ready to let him.

For seven years, Grace has been the dutiful "moon goddess" at the side of Alpha King Ethan Silver, enduring his indifference while desperately trying to strengthen the weakening MATE bond between them. On her birthday, she returns to the eastern territories only to find her home empty - her partner absent and her daughter, whom she brought up as a child, estranged. "I've got something going on here, tomorrow." Ethan's impatient voice came over the phone, but Grace caught another female voice in the background. Olivia Stone. Her half-sister. "Aunt Liv is so handsome, I love Aunt Liv so much, why is mommy so annoying." She heard her daughter Emma complain. The truth becomes irrelevant when Grace finds Ethan and Olivia in an intimate embrace in his office. The mate bond she tried so hard to defend meant nothing to him. "Who gave you permission to come in here!" Ethan's expression was justified, and Grace stood rigid, the coffee tray trembling in her hands. Determined to leave them and rebuild her work and her life, Grace ditches the Silver family and her position at pack medical to return to her roots as a therapist and reconnects with her former partner, Dominic Hayes. As Grace rebuilds her life and professional standing, Ethan begins to notice her absence. But is it too late? Grace has awakened to the fact that she doesn't want to be his Luna anymore. Can she truly sever the seven-year mate bond? And what happens when Ethan finally realizes what he's lost?
