Esme Twilight

Trained since childhood to be nothing but a weapon, Esme has lived under her father’s harsh hand. Poison runs in her veins, bruises mark her skin, and every lesson ends with a reminder; kill the king, or her mother dies. Sent into the werewolf palace as a kitchen maid, she waits for her moment, vial and blade hidden beneath her apron. But nothing in her father’s drills prepared her for King Ardon. The first time their eyes lock, something raw and dangerous stirs inside her, a pull she doesn’t understand and cannot control. Each day she spends in his halls, each command spoken in that steady voice, makes her mission harder to carry out. The court whispers. Enemies circle and Lady Selene sharpens her claws, determined to claim the crown by Ardon’s side. And Esme, trapped between loyalty to the man who raised her and the strange fire rising within her, stands on the edge of a truth she’s not ready to face. She was sent to kill the king, but she may be fated to love him.

Twilight is a strong-willed she-wolf who is content with her life as an Alpha and raising her ex-mate's pup without him. Her world is turned upside down when he finds out, and even more so when she discovers they still have a bond. While trying to fight the pull of the bond, she crosses paths with an unmated alpha and persuades him to agree to a secret contract marriage. But Twilight has another secret: she didn't marry him for the benefit of both packs. She married him with plans to take his pack for herself and would go to any lengths to get what she wants. As she spends more time with him, she begins to see him in a new light. He is kind, gentle, and everything she had hoped for in a mate. She begins to question her motives for marrying him but is hesitant to get involved with him out of fear of getting hurt again. Unfortunately for her, her husband begins losing interest in the benefits of their marriage and yearns for her affection. Twilight's choices are complicated by the fact that she is a werewolf. In her world, mates are chosen by the Moon Goddess, and they are meant to be together forever. But what if the Moon Goddess has made a mistake? Will she take a chance on her old life with Takumi or choose the excitement of a new beginning with her mystery husband? Or neither? Find out in this story full of love, loss, and redemption that will keep you guessing until the very end. TRIGGER WARNING: There might be a sensitive topic or two.

“Promise me, you will hide her and keep the truth from her. I never want her to know what she is or where she came from.” Esmes mother begged on her death bed as she handed her infant child over to her friends. “Raise her as your own, please!” She had spent years running, hoping to find a way out of the deal she had made with a demon that would cost her not only her life but her only child’s freedom once she turned 18. With her mother gone and her wolf stirring Esme finds herself rebelling against the ties of family and friendship as she nears her 18th birthday.

She may be his mate, but that doesn't mean she gets a happy ending- no one does in the chaotic world of sex, money and power! At least until now…

Esme’s life comes crashing down on her when she realizes that the one mate and husband that she chose for herself is having an affair with her childhood best friend.

To be the Lycan Prince’s woman.

Je suis morte le jour de mon anniversaire, mais ni mes parents ni mon mari ne l'ont remarqué. Ils étaient trop occupés à consacrer toute leur attention à la préparation de l'anniversaire de ma sœur jumelle, Esme Shaw. Pendant qu'elle était entourée de gens qui l'aidaient à choisir une robe, moi, j'ai été ligotée et jetée dans le sous-sol. Avec le peu de force qui me restait, j'ai forcé mes doigts brisés à taper le code 9395. C'était un signal sur lequel mon mari, Edwin Grant, et moi nous étions mis d'accord autrefois. C'était une façon simple d'appeler à l'aide en cas de danger. Je n'aurais jamais pensé que j'en aurais réellement besoin un jour. Mais quand je l'ai envoyé, il ne m'a pas crue. Sa réponse était froide « Claudia, simplement parce que je ne t'ai pas emmenée faire du shopping pour une nouvelle robe, tu as décidé de faire ton cinéma ? Tu peux encore porter la robe de l'année dernière. Arrête de faire des histoires. On se voit tout à l'heure à la fête. » Ce qu'il ne savait pas, c'est qu'Esme avait déjà déchiré cette robe en morceaux. Et ce qu'il ne pouvait pas imaginer, c'est qu'à l'instant même où il a raccroché, j'étais déjà morte. Ainsi, quand la célébration a commencé, je ne suis jamais apparue. Mais lorsque tout le monde a vu le cadeau d'anniversaire que j'avais préparé à l'avance pour Esme, toute la salle a perdu la tête.
