L’ami d'enfance de ma sœur et moi étions ensemble depuis neuf ans, nous étions sur le point de nous fiancer. Comme d'habitude, après une soirée entre amis où il avait bu, je suis allée le chercher. Arrivée à la porte, j'allais l'appeler quand j'ai entendu les moqueries de son ami : « Victor, ton amour idéalisé est de retour. Tu vas jeter la remplaçante ou garder les deux ? » Un ricanement s'échappait de ses lèvres. À cet instant, un autre ami à côté riait avant de prendre la parole. « Vraiment, tu as de la chance ! Après le départ de ton amour idéalisé, seul, tu as commencé à t’amuser avec la petite sœur de ton amie d’enfance. Neuf ans à jouer la comédie, ça suffit, non ? Et juste à temps, ton amour idéalisé est revenue. » Victor a dit, sa voix était teintée de défi : « Chloé croyait que je l’aimerais toute ma vie. Il fallait bien briser son égo avec une remplaçante bon marché ! »

Luna never wanted to be special. She only wanted to live quietly with her family, to prove herself at the Moonlight Festival, and to escape the shadow of failure that had haunted her bloodline for generations. But the Goddess chose differently. When she was marked as the Saint of the Moon Goddess, her life ceased to be her own. Saints carry blessings, but they also carry chains—chief among them, the law that a Saint can never claim a mate. That law shatters the moment she meets John. John is the Alpha of the most feared pack in the clan, a man whose crimson eyes strike terror even into his allies. To Luna, he is supposed to be the enemy. Instead, he becomes her savior—rescuing her from hunters, shielding her from danger, and igniting a bond that no divine law can erase. But the Moon Goddess’s blessing is also a curse. Every step closer to John is a step toward rebellion, and the packs are already watching her every move. The Lightning Pack wants her captured. The clan elders want her controlled. And in the shadows, enemies whisper about the Astex Token, an ancient relic tied to Luna’s bloodline that could change the fate of the supernatural world. As battles erupt and loyalties are tested, Luna is forced to choose between duty and desire. Can she obey the Moon Goddess and abandon her mate, or will she risk everything—her title, her family, and her life—for forbidden love? In a world where betrayal waits at every corner and even her destiny is a cage, Luna must decide what it truly means to be the Saint of the Moon Goddess… and whether a heart bound by fate can ever be silenced.

Dans l’ombre de son appartement, elle observait les plans du quartier général de Viktor, le mafieux le plus puissant du pays. Chaque détail comptait, chaque mouvement était essentiel. Aujourd'hui, elle allait frapper au cœur du royaume de Viktor. Le casse était risqué, mais la récompense en valait la peine. Une somme colossale. De l’argent qui changerait sa vie, si elle parvenait à s’échapper. Selena n’était pas comme les autres voleuses. Elle était plus que douée, elle était une légende. Ses attaques étaient propres, silencieuses, invisibles. Jamais un indice, jamais une trace. Cela faisait des années qu’elle vivait dans l’ombre, esquivant la police, les flics de la mafia et tout ce qui pouvait se dresser sur son chemin. Mais aujourd’hui, l’enjeu était plus grand. Elle ne volait pas seulement de l’argent. Elle volait la richesse d’un homme qui n’avait jamais connu de défaite, un homme qui contrôlait tout : les hommes, les affaires, la peur. Viktor Aleksandrov. Son nom était murmuré dans les coins les plus sombres de la ville, un spectre qui faisait trembler quiconque osait le défier. Il était un chef de la mafia d’une cruauté inouïe, un homme qui n’avait ni cœur ni pitié.
