Je m’appelle Amanda Hayes, 24 ans, et ma vie a basculé le jour où j’ai signé ce contrat. Tout a commencé par un stage chez Black Industries, l’entreprise la plus prestigieuse de Londres. J’étais fière, naïve, convaincue que c’était ma chance. Mais le premier jour, j’ai entendu une conversation que je n’aurais jamais dû surprendre : des noms, des chiffres, des menaces, des mots comme « cartel », « livraison », « accident propre ». J’ai voulu m’enfuir, mais Cameron Black le PDG, 32 ans, 1m93 de glace et de danger m’a coincée dans son bureau du 67e étage. Il savait que j’avais tout entendu. Il m’a tendu deux contrats : un NDA blindé, et un second… qui me liait à lui, corps et âme, 24h/24. Obéissance totale. Disponibilité immédiate. En échange, il effaçait le risque que je représente. Refuser ? Un « accident » pour moi, et peut-être pour ma famille. J’ai signé, les mains tremblantes, parce que j’avais peur. Parce que je n’avais pas le choix. Depuis, je vis dans une cage dorée qu’il appelle « protection ». Un appartement luxueux qu’il m’a imposé, une garde-robe qu’il a choisie, une surveillance constante. Je sais qu’il est un chef mafieux. Et pourtant, quand il me touche, quand il me protège avec une possessivité qui me terrifie et m’enflamme, je ne sais plus où est la limite entre la peur et le désir. Il dit que je suis en danger à cause de secrets que je ne comprends pas encore. Mais chaque jour, je sens que je m’enfonce plus profondément dans son monde sombre, dans ses bras qui me serrent trop fort, dans ce contrat qui n’est plus seulement sur le papier.

I spend three torturous years in a dark underground cell after taking the fall for Cole Greyhouse, a member of the nobility. He once held my hand tightly and tearfully promised that he would wait for me to return. Then, he would take my hand in marriage. However, he doesn't show up on the day I'm released from prison. I head to the palace to look for him, but all I see is him with his arm around another woman. He also has a mocking smile on his face. "Do you really think a former convict like you deserves to become a member of the royal family?" Only then do I understand that he's long since forgotten about the three years he was supposed to wait for me. I'm devastated, and my heart dies. I accept the marriage my family has arranged for me. On the big day, Cole crashes my wedding with his comrades and laughs raucously. "Are you that desperate to be my secret lover, Leah? How dare you put on a wedding gown meant for a royal bride to force me into marriage? You're pathetic!" Just then, his uncle, Fenryr Greyhouse, the youngest Alpha King in Lunholm's history, hurriedly arrives. He drapes a shawl around my shoulders and slides a wedding ring onto my finger. That's when Cole panics.

Ma mère m'a demandé d'organiser un voyage en famille. Alors que nous contournions une zone dangereuse, ma petite sœur Lydia et moi avons été attaquées par des loups errants. Pour la protéger, j'ai intercepté leurs griffes et ai été projetée dans une mine d'argent. Le dos déchiré par la chute, une profonde blessure m'a traversée jusqu'aux os. Et ma jambe droite, elle était enfoncée dans des éclats d'argent. La toxine m'empoisonnait lentement, brûlant à vif moi et ma louve. Elle gémissait de douleur, sur le point de mourir. Mais ma mère, en tant que guérisseuse en chef de notre meute, avait réuni tous ses camarades autour de Lydia, pour s'occuper de ses égratignures légères. Je pleurais et la suppliais de me soigner en premier : « Maman… Le poison de l'argent va me ronger le cœur, je ne tiendrai plus longtemps... » Elle s'est retournée, l'air exaspéré, et a hurlé : « Tu essayes encore d'attirer mon attention à ce moment ? Tu sais que Lydia a failli se faire lacérer le visage par ces griffes d'argent ? Notre meute n'a jamais eu une louve aussi cruelle que toi ! » À ce moment-là, j'ai entendu le dernier cri de ma louve, qui me disait adieu. Finalement, je me suis endormie dans le froid, sans jamais me réveiller...
