Fragile Masculinity

The day Alpha Marcus and I marked each other, his first love, Cecilia, threw herself off a cliff into a ravine overgrown with wolfsbane. The pack searched for three full days and nights before they found her, barely clinging to life. She was once the most spirited she-wolf in our pack, but the fall cost her a leg and the ability to bear pups. I grieved for the beautiful life that had been ruined, and I blamed myself for not seeing how fragile she'd become. Marcus comforted me gently. "Elena, this wasn't your fault. Cecilia made her own choice. You did everything you could. Don't beat yourself up." Later, not long after our pup, Rylan, turned five, a sudden illness tore through him, and he died in my arms. Night after night, Marcus held me, wiping away my tears. "Don't be sad, Elena," he would murmur. "We'll have other children." I had always believed my mate was the most considerate, most protective Alpha in the entire world. Until the day I overheard him speaking with his Beta, Adrin. "Alpha, the dosage of wolfsbane we gave Rylan was perfect—just as you ordered. It looked like a genetic defect. No one will ever suspect." "It's been so long. Don't you think it's time to forgive the Luna?" "What's one pup compared to what Cecilia lost? She lost a leg, her future as a mother. Everything."

« Tu n’es pas seulement une humaine, mais tu es aussi faible et fragile, tellement différente de mon espèce. » Il cria et la plaqua contre le mur tandis que son loup hurlait en lui, mais il l’ignora complètement et plongea son regard dans le sien, rempli de peur et de douleur. « Je ne t’accepterai jamais comme ma mate, non pas parce que tu es humaine, mais parce que tu n’es absolument pas mon genre. J’aime quelqu’un d’autre et c’est elle que je ferai mienne. » Il hurla ces mots avec une rage telle que ses genoux tremblèrent de peur. •••• Alpha Eric haïssait et rejetait sa mate dès le premier jour où il posa les yeux sur elle, et il était prêt à tout pour la chasser de sa vie. Mais tout changea lorsqu’il la retrouva dans un club BDSM et dut se dissimuler derrière un masque.

— Tu sais dans quoi tu t’embarques, n’est-ce pas ? demanda-t-il en croisant les jambes, un sourcil levé. Les lèvres de Tiana se pincèrent légèrement et ses yeux se plissèrent en le fixant. — Tant que vous me payez, je ferai tout ce que vous voudrez. Nicklaus fut surpris par cette audace soudaine. Mais il était convaincu qu’elle jouait la comédie, qu’elle tentait juste de faire bonne figure. Il la connaissait, ou du moins, il croyait la connaître. C’était une âme fragile, tremblante, qui s’efforçait désespérément de dissimuler sa vulnérabilité. Un sourire en coin apparut sur ses lèvres alors qu’une idée traversait son esprit. — Tout ce que je veux ? demanda-t-il à nouveau. Tiana répondit aussitôt, sans la moindre hésitation : — Oui, Monsieur Nicklaus, tout ce que vous voulez. — Très bien, alors je veux que tu te déshabilles et que tu ailles t’allonger sur le lit. Il n’avait pas réellement l’intention de la toucher ; il voulait juste voir comment elle allait réagir. Mais ce que fit Tiana ensuite le laissa sans voix.

📖 Full Synopsis (Professional, 30-Chapter Summary) In a realm where the abyss bleeds whispers into men’s hearts, Aria, a gifted warrior bound to light, finds herself tethered to Lucien, a man scarred by an ancient mark. Their alliance begins in unease but quickly deepens into fragile trust, even as shadows stir within him. As armies clash and kingdoms fracture, Rowan, the enigmatic elder, and Kael, a fierce commander, fight to keep their ranks united. Yet Lucien’s mark grows restless, seeding betrayal, suspicion, and fear. Aria stands at his side, convinced that his humanity can be preserved, while others believe the abyss has already claimed him. The march to war spirals. Battles scar the land, alliances fray, and Lucien’s struggle becomes the fulcrum of fate. In the Breaking Storm, shadow and flame engulf the battlefield. Lucien teeters on the edge of becoming a weapon of the abyss. Aria refuses to yield, her voice anchoring him even as his blade rises against her. Kael’s blood is spilled in defiance, Rowan binds the storm in desperate runes, and Aria steps into the abyss itself, whispering her vow. In the climax, Lucien shatters his own blade, breaking free from the darkness—but not without scars. The storm collapses, leaving silence in its wake. In the aftermath, enemies bury their dead side by side. Kael rebuilds broken ranks, Rowan warns that the abyss never releases its scars, and Aria tends to Lucien’s healing—both body and soul. Though the mark lingers faintly beneath his skin, her vow holds stronger: never again will the abyss take him. The book closes on dawn: the storm passed, the stars returned, and two hands held fast against the dark.

She is mine, now. Whether she wants it or not, she belongs to me. "Please... let her go. She is an orphan, have pity on her..." These words resonate in the room, a fragile plea against the unyielding will of a man. But Ariane is not a mere victim. She is a force of nature, a young woman with burning courage, who refuses to bend before anyone, not even before Auracio Ferrari. Auracio. That name makes every soul in the city shudder. A mafia boss, a man with a glacial gaze and undeniable power, whose mere presence commands silence and fear. Yet, in front of Ariane, he falters. She, with her disarming boldness, her eyes full of fire and defiance, does not tremble. She does not flee. She does not submit. She does not yield. No one has ever dared to resist Auracio Ferrari like she does. No one has ever destabilized him to the point of losing his composure and control. He wants her. Not out of simple desire, but from a burning obsession, a visceral need to possess what he cannot have. Ariane will become his. No matter the price to pay, no matter the pain, no matter the time. She belongs to him, body and soul, to him alone. He is ready to do anything for her. To destroy anyone who dares to lay eyes on her, to crush any threat, to break any attempt at escape. "I will kill anyone who shows interest in her." These words are a cruel warning, a promise of blood and fire. Because Ariane is no longer a mere woman. She has become his empire, his weakness and his strength, his hell and ... The fight for her freedom is just beginning..but one thing is certain: she is his, now.

He closed the gap between us and his hand travelled to my waist, pulling me closer to himself. His cologne filled my nostrils and he cupped my face in his hand gently.
