Aïcha, jeune et brillante archéologue sénégalaise, mène une vie paisible à Dakar, partagée entre ses recherches universitaires et les traditions familiales. Son existence bascule lorsqu'elle hérite d'un mystérieux masque d'ivoire de son grand-père, un ancien conteur et gardien de la mémoire ancestrale. Ce masque n'est pas un simple objet d'art. Il est la clé d'une prophétie oubliée, liée à un trésor caché et à un ancien royaume africain disparu. Aïcha se retrouve alors plongée dans une quête palpitante, semée d'embûches et de dangers, qui la mènera des ruelles animées de Dakar aux confins du désert du Sahara, en passant par les forêts luxuriantes de Casamance. Mais elle n'est pas la seule à convoiter le secret du masque d'ivoire. Un puissant homme d'affaires véreux, héritier d'une lignée de pillards et prêt à tout pour s'emparer du trésor, se lance à ses trousses. Dans cette course contre la montre, Aïcha croise la route de Malik, un séduisant aventurier et expert en cultures africaines, dont le charme mystérieux et les compétences hors du commun s'avèrent être une aide précieuse. Entre eux, une attirance irrésistible se développe, mais Aïcha devra apprendre à faire confiance à Malik, car il semble lui aussi cacher un lourd secret lié à son passé. Ensemble, ils devront déchiffrer les énigmes du masque d'ivoire, affronter les dangers qui les guettent et percer les mystères d'une histoire oubliée, tout en luttant contre une force obscure qui menace de détruire l'héritage de leurs ancêtres.

My mate Derek, Alpha of the SilverCrest Pack, secretly marked me two years ago. But he still hasn't held our mating ceremony to publicly announce my position. I've been working as his "assistant," helping him manage pack affairs all this time. Every time Derek cheats with his childhood sweetheart, Vivian, he promises to finally hold our mating ceremony. Two years. Ten promised ceremonies. Ten broken promises. The first time, he said Vivian's dog had died. "I can't hold a celebration while she's grieving," he told me, his eyes not quite meeting mine. "It wouldn't be right." The second time, Vivian had a stomach ache. He left the ceremony venue minutes before it was supposed to start, rushing off to cook soup for his precious childhood friend. After that, each scheduled mating ceremony fell through because his childhood sweetheart always had some kind of emergency. I've cried. I've screamed. I've begged. Derek always gives me the same answer: "Viv and I are just friends. You're my true mate. Taking care of pack members is your responsibility too. Don't be so jealous." After the tenth canceled ceremony, I finally gave up. I slid the mate bond dissolution papers across his desk. "The Alpha Council has approved our request to break the mate bond," I said, my voice steadier than I expected. "You and I are no longer connected." That’s when the powerful Alpha went crazy...

On my son's fifth birthday, my Alpha mate allowed his childhood sweetheart Sarah to pick him up from school. I discovered through the tracking device on his watch that he was near the edge of the forest. Having heard reports of rogue wolves attacking in the area recently, I anxiously rushed over, determined to bring him back immediately. He refused to leave with me. While we were locked in this standoff, several rogue wolves burst from the treeline and attacked us. During the fight, I was wounded badly, blood streaming down my face, while I kept my son safely behind me, completely unharmed. But when my Alpha mate arrived to rescue us, he ran straight toward his childhood sweetheart who was hiding off to the side. "Aunt Sarah is a delicate Omega with no fighting ability, Dad. Save her first! Mom, you're so strong, just hold on a little longer!" my son called out. I watched them leave, a bitter smile forming on my lips. They all seemed to ignore the silver dagger piercing my heart as I protected my son. I was dying.
