Ian Mcewan Atonement

Their gaze locked, one green, the other red, Ava’s breath hitched as their bond snapped into place “goddess” she muttered lowly. He smirked at her and sauntered towards her in firm and determined steps. Ava wasn’t a coward but she felt fear for the first time. “The moon goddess must be joking, the Alpha King was her mate?!” ............... Ava Beaumont, the fearless heir to the Crescent Claw pack, has just turned 20 and been crowned Alpha. As an only child of Alpha Terrance, he raised her as his heir despite the fat that she was a girl and has high expectations of her, so does the entire pack.

Prologue 🖤 Ulric Ulric est l’ombre dans la lumière, l’homme qu’on craint autant qu’on désire. Il porte la colère dans les veines et l’amour dans les silences. Il est brutal, possessif, jaloux — mais loyal. Son regard transperce, sa voix impose. Il aime comme il vit : avec excès, sans retour en arrière. Quand il aime Julianne, il devient vulnérable, presque humain. Il tuerait pour elle, mais il ne sait pas toujours l’aimer sans la blesser. Ulric est un roi maudit, perdu entre son trône de sang et sa soif d’amour pur. --- 🌺 Julianne Julianne est une rose élevée parmi les épines. Douce en apparence, mais imprévisible quand on la trahit. Elle a été donnée à un homme, Ulric, comme une offrande — mais elle s’est transformée en feu sacré. Mère, femme, amante, stratège... Julianne porte tout à la fois. Elle a souffert, beaucoup. Mais elle n’a jamais abandonné son cœur. Elle aime avec dignité, se défend avec fierté, et rêve encore malgré les cicatrices. Elle est le secret d’Ulric, sa lumière, son châtiment et son salut. --- 💔 Leur amour L’amour entre Ulric et Julianne est un champ de bataille parfumé. Rien n’est simple. Rien n’est doux. C’est un amour de coups d’éclat, de silence lourd, de cris dans la nuit et de promesses non dites. Ils s’aiment comme deux flammes rivales : attirées, consumées, ravagées. Ils ne savent pas vivre ensemble sans se heurter, mais ne savent pas exister l’un sans l’autre. Leur amour est maudit, mais sacré. Il est à la fois poison et remède. Ce n’est pas un conte de fées — c’est une guerre sainte entre deux âmes trop fortes pour renoncer.
