Ghost In Th Stalls

Alpha Draven didn’t come to save her. He came to punish her. Liora Hale spent five years hiding in the human world, trying to forget the pain she was born into. Raised by a foster family who treated her like filth, she endured years of cruelty until the day they threw her out like garbage, bloody and broken in the street. That’s when Draven found her. Her former stepbrother. Now the cold-hearted Alpha of a ruthless biker pack. He didn’t come out of love. He didn’t come out of guilt. He came because someone had to pay, and she was all that was left. To him, she’s a ghost of everything he lost. A name tied to betrayal. And yet… he doesn’t kill her. He keeps her. In his world. In his darkness. In his hell. Liora Hale should have run. She should have hated him. But she stayed, because going back to Dawson’s would’ve been worse. At least with Draven, in all his fury and coldness, she had a reason to breathe, to endure, to live. But will Liora survive the Alpha who swore to break her, or choose the one who offers the freedom she’s never known? And when every buried truth comes to light, will Draven finally see her as his mate, before it’s too late?

How long can she keep the mask on... before her real identity shatters everything?

Chaque échec laisse derrière lui une blessure plus profonde, un poids qu’il dissimule derrière son regard dur et sa réussite professionnelle. Jusqu’à cette nuit-là.

La meilleure amie d'enfance de mon mari a été diagnostiquée d'une maladie incurable. Pour qu'elle ne parte pas avec des regrets et puisse ressentir l'amour d'une famille, Gabriel Dumas, mon mari, lui a offert mon collier, puis a même cédé mon anniversaire pour le lui consacrer. Notre fils, en privé, l'appelait aussi « maman ». Il m'a dit un jour : « Élise, Violette est en train de mourir… laisse-lui un peu de place. » Chaque fois que j'espérais recevoir un peu plus de son attention, de son temps, mon fils, Théo Dumas, se précipitait pour défendre son père et Violette : « Maman, tu me dis toujours qu'il faut être généreux, non ? Violette va mourir… pourquoi tu lui en veux autant ? » Petit à petit, j'ai cessé de demander quoi que ce soit. Un soir, j'ai surpris une conversation entre mon fils et Gabriel, de retour de l'hôpital : « Violette est si douce et élégante ! Si seulement maman pouvait lui ressembler… » Gabriel a souri tendrement en ébouriffant les cheveux de notre fils : « Ta maman est peut-être un peu stricte, mais c'est pour ton bien. Si tu aimes vraiment Violette, que dirais-tu qu'elle devienne ta marraine ? » C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai compris : même l'enfant que j'ai mis au monde de toutes mes forces… ne m'aimait pas. J'ai baissé les yeux, refermé silencieusement la porte de la chambre, comme si rien ne s'était passé. Puisque tous deux semblent avoir tant de regrets, alors je vais m'effacer, en silence, pour les combler.
