Jeanne Alter

What happens when a food-obsessed blogger dies mid-bite and wakes up as the royal psychiatrist to a Lycan king who’s one bad day away from burning the kingdom down? Ariana never asked to be Lady Elena Voss: ice-cold healer by day, assassin by night, and—thanks to a cosmic clerical error—the fated mate of King Kael Draven, a man whose mind is a battlefield and whose violent alter ego is counting down to total takeover. Kael can hear every single one of her unfiltered thoughts: the panic, the food cravings, the 3 a.m. Reddit scrolls, the running commentary about how stupidly hot he is. And somehow, her chaos is the only thing keeping him halfway human. But Elena’s old life isn’t staying buried. Old enemies remember her blades. Her emotionless little sister is hiding something behind those blank blue eyes. And the snarky blue orb feeding her “missions” might not be what it seems. As the mate bond tightens and Kael’s darkness claws closer, two questions burn louder than the rest: What if the thing she was sent here to heal… is the very thing that will kill her? Can a girl with zero qualifications, a Reddit addiction, and a possessed wolf pup save a broken king— or will his monster claim her first?

Madeline has been killed. Not by an enemy or a rival pack; not even by the rebellious rogues that roam the kingdoms. No. Madeline has been killed by someone close to her heart. Her mate, Damien— lycan King of the empire of Ker. To hide his affair with her best friend and daughter of a very troublesome rogue pack, Damien rejects her and then kills her. However, fate is not blind. The moon goddess hears her plea and she is reborn. She wakes up 3 months before the incident and now has to alter the very course of time. In this second chance, she will use any means necessary to get her revenge and make those two pay. Even if it means siding with the dangerous alpha ruler of the growing rebellion, Axel Black. Even if it means losing herself to his serpentine tongue. She would take everything her mate had; including his precious throne— and nothing would stop her. But when sparks begin to fly between the ruined queen and this strange rogue she has made a volatile deal with, can Madeline hold on to the revenge cogs she has begun to spin? Especially when this rogue only has one goal in mind— to destroy her mate and all the royals in Ker— not excluding her, of course.

À la veille de notre mariage, Gabin Huet, mon fiancé, professeur d’histoire, s’est uni à Mila Breguet, son premier amour, atteint d’un cancer, lors d’une cérémonie traditionnelle à Gustokate, un village ancien au charme intemporel. Sous un ciel constellé d’étoiles, il lui a souri tendrement, la serrant dans ses bras : « Selon la tradition, seule la femme légitime peut avoir droit à la cérémonie de mariage avec son époux. Même si Jeanne et moi avons déjà officialisé notre union, elle ne demeure à mes yeux qu’une concubine. » Sous les acclamations bienveillantes de l’assemblée, ils ont échangé un baiser, aussi radieux qu’un prince et une princesse tout droit sortis d’un conte de fées. J’ai assisté à toute la scène en silence. Sans la moindre hésitation, ma décision était prise : j’ai pris rendez-vous pour un avortement. De mes quinze à mes trente ans, j’ai aimé Gabin avec une constance aveugle. Quinze années d’attente, de douleur, d’espoir ténu. Mais dans son cœur, il n’y avait de place que pour ma demi-sœur, Mila. Alors, j’ai renoncé. Peu après, je me suis jointe à une expédition géologique en Antarctique, un monde de glace et de silence, laissant à Gabin une convention de divorce et un ultime présent. Pourtant, cet homme qui ne m’avait jamais appréciée s’est effondré du jour au lendemain, comme si mon départ l’avait soudainement vidé de toute énergie.

“Is Batman my daddy?” my son Jackson pipes up from the back seat. Of course not! But telling him that his father is Asher Giordano, leader of New York’s deadliest mafia empire is out of the question. He found us anyway. “What have you done with Jackson?” I demand. “My son?” Asher asks calmly, looking around my small apartment disdainfully. “The one you’ve been hiding from me and forcing to live in this…pigeonhole?” Our son, not yours. “You’re the one who left me at the alter without as much as a ‘see you later’. If you left me a forwarding address to contact you at, I must have missed it.” Asher regards me coldly. I don’t know this man. The boy I fell in love with was warm, giving and open. This man in front of me is frostier than the arctic with his glacial eyes. “I know you know who I am and what I’m capable of, so don’t try anything stupid, Emmeline. There’s nowhere you can run where I can’t find you.” “Gosh, Asher, that’s like a line straight out of a movie. Have you been practicing delivering it in front of a mirror?”

As I walk towards the man waiting for me at the alter, I had tears in my eyes. This was'nt the usual kind of tears of joy, it was a tears that comes with pains. Ever since my dream of becoming a plastic surgeon got crashed due to poor financies, I took up another dream to become a popular chef and get married to the man of my dreams, but here I was getting married to a man I know nothing about, he's not just an ordinary man, but a ruthless billionaire and a CEO to one of the biggest food companies in America. Not like I was being forced to get married to him, I willing accepted his proposal. Having a long time boyfriend who broke my heart to the deepest and also a younger sister who needs immediate surgery, I had no choice but to accept his proposal inorder to save my younger sister's life. I looked at my mom and sister and in their faces lies a lot of happiness. They'd think I'm getting married to the man I love, not knowing I'm getting married to my worst nightmare. Will I ever find happiness while living with him, that I couldn't tell, but I'm ready to dance to the beating of the music if is the only way I can be able to save my sister, who means so much to me....

　　I pushed open the door to the Alpha Villa. Just back from the werewolf hospital; back from the miscarriage. 　　Then I heard it—a woman's moans, slicing through the silence of the bedroom. 　　Peering through the door crack, I saw our Omega maid, Irina, having sex with my husband. 　　Lucien gripped her waist and warned her, "We must keep this a secret. I don't want her to cause a scene, and I've never intended to replace my Luna." 　　Irina moaned in agreement, "Don't worry, Luc. I'm willing to be your secret lover forever." 　　Then, with low growls, they climaxed together. 　　What they didn't know was that I had discovered their affair early this morning—I had seen the flirtatious messages Irina sent to Lucien, which ultimately led to my miscarriage. 　　But I had no intention of confronting him. 　　Instead, I had already submitted a forced mate dissolution request to the Werewolf Alliance Council and sent a message to the ancient Grand Sorceress in the Blood Moon Forest, who had long wanted to take me as her apprentice. 　　In three days, the request would take effect, and the Grand Sorceress would come for me with a potion to alter my werewolf scent. 　　I would enter the Blood Moon Forest as nothing but a new identity and a sorceress’s heir. 　　I will erase myself from Lucien's world forever.

Alpha Sébastien me détestait plus que tout, moi, sa compagne destinée. Juste parce que je n'étais qu'une humaine, une créature inutile sans griffes. Son cœur appartenait entièrement à son amie d'enfance Jeanne. Il m'a détestée pendant dix ans après la mort accidentelle de Jeanne. Mais quand une bombe d'une meute ennemie a explosé devant notre grotte, il m'a sauvée. Avant de mourir, il a reposé dans mes bras, couvert de sang, et a repoussé ma main tremblante avec ses dernières forces. « Hélène, si la Déesse de la Lune ne nous avait pas fait rencontrer... » Lors des funérailles, l'ancienne Luna, la mère de Sébastien, m'a serrée par le col et a sangloté de façon incontrôlable. « Sébastien, tout est de ma faute. Je n'aurais pas dû te forcer à accepter cette humaine. Est-ce que tout cela serait arrivé aujourd'hui si je t'avais soutenu dans ton choix de Jeanne ? » Je n'ai pas répondu, car elle avait raison. Après avoir été traînée hors de ces funérailles, je suis montée seule à la Crête de la Chute du Ciel, un terrain sacré pour la meute, et j'ai sauté. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je me retrouvait transportée au jour où la Déesse de la lune m'a désignée comme la compagne de Sébastien. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de rompre tous liens avec Sébastien et de donner à tout le monde ce qu'ils voulaient vraiment.

“What do you want, Aria?” I swallow hard, my palms sweaty. “I need to talk to you. About... us.” His look doesn’t alter, and for a second, I worry if he’s just going to walk away again. But he doesn’t. Instead, he straightens up, his gaze never leaving mine. “There is no ‘us,’ Aria,” he replies, his voice flat and cold. I feel a knot building in my throat, but I go forward. “You felt it, didn’t you? The tie between us. You can’t refute it.” He approaches closer, and for a minute, I think I see something flicker in his eyes, something that nearly seems like sorrow. But it’s gone as swiftly as it appeared. “You’re not my mate, Aria,” he replies, his voice tightening. “Don’t fool yourself.” The words hit me like a punch to the gut. I take a step back, my vision fading as the weight of his rejection slams over me. My heart feels like it’s being pulled apart, piece by piece. How can he say that? How can he deny what’s so painfully clear to me? “Damian, I...” I whispered, but he cut me off, his voice colder than ever. “I don’t want you, Aria. You mean nothing to me.” And with that, he turns and goes away, leaving me standing there, crushed.
