Instinct Artinya

Evelyn Larson's nephew, Maxwell Larson, has been staying at my home for 12 years. On top of sponsoring everything he has in life, I even view him as my own son. Heck, I'm the one who paid the down payment for Maxwell's new family home. But on the night we're having a holiday dinner, he throws me a list in front of everyone. "Uncle Lawrence, I've already hashed out the details with my fiancee's family. We'll be giving her family 700 thousand dollars as a wedding gift. You've raised me for so many years, so you need to prepare this amount for me." I frown instantly. "Didn't I just settle your down payment for you? Besides, Tiffany's about to get married soon. I need to save some money for her own wedding gift." But Maxwell instantly smashes a plate out of anger. "Since she's marrying into another family, that means she's no longer a part of this family! Are you saying that you're willing to give your money to an outsider rather than your own nephew? "If you refuse to agree to my terms, I'll make Aunt Evelyn divorce you right now!" I turn to look at Evelyn out of instinct, only to see her pulling out a gift agreement that she has already drafted. "We don't need to prepare any wedding gifts for Tiffany, seeing as she's the one marrying into another family. Max, on the other hand, is the only son of the Larson family. You should give your money to him instead."

« Regarde-moi pendant que je te baise. » Ce mariage arrangé n'est pas une mince affaire. C'est dangereux. Des alliances se nouent. La loyauté se jure. L'amour est une arme. Je leur ferai comprendre que je suis une force avec laquelle il faut compter – et ils me craindront. Pour ma famille, je ferai tout ce qu'il faut pour la protéger. Dès que j'entends son nom, je sais que je fonce droit dans le danger. C'est un homme dangereux et puissant, d'une arrogance à la hauteur. Mais je n'ai aucune intention de me soumettre à lui. Grand, ténébreux et mortel. Son charme et sa cruauté sont à couper le souffle. Chaque seconde passée en sa présence ne fait qu'attiser l'attirance, et pourtant, le danger qu'il représente pour mes proches est de plus en plus grand. Mon corps le désire, mais mon instinct me crie de rester loin de lui. Il est capable de détruire tout ce qui m'est cher. Mais lorsque la violence éclate et que mon monde s'écroule, je suis contrainte de m'en remettre à lui. Sera-t-il mon sauveur ou mon bourreau ? C'est la seule chose que je ne peux contrôler.

In a world where monsters are whispered about but never named, Monalisa runs from home believing she is human. She is wrong. Creatures exist ,the wolves, the witches, the demons, the vampires!!but they rule from the shadows, letting humanity call them rumors. The vampires sit at the top of that hidden hierarchy, ancient and untouchable. When the wolves attack Monalisa, she shouldn’t survive. When she escapes, she shouldn’t heal. When a vampire finds her, her blood shouldn’t recognize him. But it does. He is ancient. Powerful. Feared even among his kind. The moment he sees her, obsession coils in his chest like a curse reborn. He marks her without understanding why—only that he has done it before. Thousands of years ago. She is brought into his mansion, a den of immortal predators, where every instinct tells them she is more than human. Her heart beats too loud. Her blood burns too sweet. Her presence awakens memories that should be dead. He is torn between terror and desire. Because she could be his mate— a bond believed to have been wiped from existence. Or worse… She could be the reincarnation of the Tyrant Mother, the ancient vampire queen who slaughtered the mates, shattered bloodlines, and nearly destroyed their world. If she is his mate, loving her will doom him. If she is the Mother reborn, loving her will doom everyone. The wolves hunt her. The witches whisper her name. The demons want her erased. And the vampire who marked her first? He doesn’t know whether to kneel before her… or kill her before she remembers who she is. Because her blood is not just powerful. It reminds him of what could be !!

 “Take me, please?” I shuddered as sweet relief flooded through me and ached for more.  “If you want me, you can have me, all of me, but you might not like what I ask in return.” He gritted teeth as if he was tested by his own self-control.  I could feel his struggle, judging by the tightening of his hard muscles pressed against my back.  He was rough tonight, as if he was here to punish me for being a very naughty girl. *** Outcast and wolfless Amelia Hayes has been bullied her whole life. Before turning eighteen, she survives the fire, and her handsome alpha, Ryden Braxton rejects and banishes her. Two years later, she returns beautiful and strong, but she also brings threats to the pack. While Ryden wants to claim her, she’s also mystified by her constant sensual dreams of a stranger.  With werewolves dying in mysterious deaths, she has to entrust her secret with her mate— the power of fire within her that can cause more destruction than salvation. When her past which she has no memory of, pulls forward to her present, she becomes so drawn to a dangerous Alpha King Lucius with a primal instinct to claim her— the very same man in her dreams. After too many betrayals in his pack, Ryden has to work with his ruthless rival to protect his mate against their formidable foe.  Lucius has waited too long to reunite with Amelia but has to put his anger aside to get his revenge against the being who killed his wife and his entire pack twenty years ago. With Amelia still bound to her past and present, will she choose between the two alphas who equally love her, or choose the one that sacrifices a lot for her to live?

A blizzard erupted without warning, and the glacial mountains began to collapse. My instinct screamed at me to shift and run, to let my Inner Wolf take over and flee—but it was too late. The storm swept in, laced with a strange silver dust that hung heavy in the air. It was like an invisible chain, binding me tightly, locking away my wolf. Worse still, my strength was nearly gone. As captain of the Silvermoon Patrol, I had been out on the tundra all night. Hours ago, I had fought off a vicious ambush by Rogues, and my body still bore the wounds—deep, bleeding, and far from healed. I could feel it: my wolf energy had been pushed past its limit. Maxin, my Inner Wolf, was silent now, his strength depleted and unresponsive. My limbs were going numb, my body sinking into the snow as the roar of the wind drowned everything else out. But I wasn’t afraid. Because I knew he would come. My boyfriend—the head of the tribe's Search and Rescue Unit—had never failed a mission. I believed with all my heart that he would find me. And yet… he didn’t come himself. He sent a rookie instead, while he went after Daisy, whom he believed had been caught in an avalanche. But Daisy hadn’t been in danger at all. She merely wanted a dramatic way to confess her love to him. Three days later, Xander finally found me, buried deep beneath the frozen layers. He froze at the sight—my body, encased in ice, unmoving. He couldn’t believe it: the fierce, relentless warrior he knew, dead beneath the snow. He reached out to touch me… but the ice cracked. And before he could react, my body slipped into the depths of the glacier, vanishing into the abyss.

His fingers reached for her nipples and he squeezed softly, earning a moan from her. He continued to move his dick deeper into her throat, making her suck continuously, and she gagged and choked on it. “Enough foreplay. Let’s fuck,” he growled, his breath hot against her ear as she trembled beneath him. “Let’s see how wet that pussy of yours is.

Nagising si Cresia sa nakakasilaw na liwanag. Iginala niya ang paningin. She found myself lying on the cold ground. Huling naalala niya, habang pabalik siya sa condo... may nakita siyang batang babae sa kabilang bahagi ng kalsada. The girl was about to get hit by a car but she saved her. Bumangon siya at muling iginala ang tingin sa paligid. Nasaan na ang batang iniligtas niya? Where is she now? Napapikit siya nang tamaan ang mata ng sinag ng araw. Fuck. At bakit umaga na? Nakatulog ba siya sa daan? Ibinaba niya ang tingin sa sarili. She remember she was covered with blood. But how come she was perfectly fine now? Walang anumang bahid ng dugo ang damit niya... Iginalaw ni Cresia ang kamay. Wala siyang naramdamang anumang masakit doon. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang makita ang isang paparating na truck. Fuck! Her first instinct is to run. But it is too late. The truck is only meters away from her. Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata at hinintay ang pagtama niyon sa kanya... But seconds passed. Nothing happened. Walang truck na tumama sa kanya. Bakit? Dahan-dahang idinilat ni Cresia ang mga mata. Wala na ang truck. Bakit? Anong nangyari? Muli niyang inalala ang nangyari kagabi... She was fucking sure she got hit by a car. Hindi kaya...hindi kaya...patay na siya? "Not yet." Isang lalaki ang biglang sumulpot sa tabi niya. Para itong galing sa libing sa suot na damit. Black cape, black pants, black shoes. Everything is black. Even his eyes. They're as dark as his outfit. "S-sino ka?" He smiled to her. Hindi alam ni Cresia kung bakit kinilabutan siya sa ngiti ng lalaki. "I'm Kairos. Your death angel." Death angel? "What? I... I'm...I'm dead?"

Lieutenant au sein de la brigade des stupéfiants, Alba Carini est une policière redoutée pour sa détermination et son instinct implacable. Orpheline adoptée dès l’enfance, elle n’a jamais connu l’identité de ses parents biologiques un vide qu’elle a appris à combler par sa vocation de justice. Jusqu’au jour où une enquête sur un cartel européen la mène à une vérité qu’elle n’était pas prête à affronter : son père biologique n’est autre que Massimo Valente, le chef d’un puissant empire mafieux, caché derrière une façade d’honorabilité. Mais ce n’est pas tout : Massimo, pour sceller une alliance avec l’organisation criminelle la plus influente du continent, a promis la main de sa fille qu’il n’a jamais élevée à Sandro De Santis, l’héritier aussi charismatique que dangereux de cette mafia rivale. Un homme habitué à dominer, à posséder… et à ne jamais perdre. Prise entre ses valeurs de policière et le sang mafieux qui coule dans ses veines, Alba doit choisir : fuir ce destin imposé ou plonger dans une union de feu avec l’homme qui représente tout ce qu’elle déteste… et tout ce qui l’attire. Car Sandro n’a aucune intention de la laisser s’échapper. Et derrière les promesses d’obéissance, le jeu de pouvoir et de désir commence cruel, torride, irrésistible. Mais dans un monde où les serments se signent avec du sang, l’amour pourrait bien être le crime le plus dangereux de tous.

Une seconde avant que la morsure fatale d'Alpha Daniel ne s'imprime dans ma peau, une voix stridente a fendu l'air de la cérémonie d'union. « Arrêtez ! » Jessica, son premier amour, s'est avancée en titubant, le ventre hautement arrondi. « Vous allez vraiment laisser cette femme malveillante devenir notre Luna ? » a-t-elle sangloté, son doigt tremblant pointé vers moi, « Elle me harcèle depuis des mois ! Elle a mis du poison dans mon thé, déposé des couteaux devant ma porte, et a tenté de me forcer à avorter de l'enfant de notre Alpha ! » Face à ces accusations soudaines, mon esprit est devenu vide. « Quoi ? Je n'ai jamais... » Avant que je ne puisse terminer, Jessica s'est ruée sur moi. J'ai levé les bras par instinct, mais elle s'est effondrée lourdement au sol. « Mon bébé ! » a-t-elle hurlé, « Daniel, regarde ! Elle cherche encore à nous faire du mal ! Appelle les gardes, vite ! » Une seconde plus tard, Daniel s'est précipité et a enlacé Jessica sans la moindre hésitation. Son regard était glacé et déçu lorsqu'il m'a fixée : « Rosie, pourquoi ne peux-tu pas simplement rester à ta place ? Cet enfant est l'héritier de notre meute ! » Les anciens ont échangé des regards sombres et pleins de sous-entendus, prononçant silencieusement mon verdict. Incapable de prouver mon innocence, j'étais alors condamnée à trois années de prison dans le cauchemardesque Prison d'Argent. Les fouets, la faim et les violences incessantes… J'ai compris enfin ce que Daniel entendait par « rester à sa place ». Alors pourquoi, au final, était-ce lui qui regrettait ?
