He watched her in the distance, his mind clouded over in confusion. How could he, one of the coldest Alphas in the country, have a mate?The thought of having to take care of someone for the rest of his life haunted him. He always thought he was meant to run the most powerful pack that had no weaknesses; once his wolf becomes attached to hers, nothing can tear them apart. It is known to be the cause of the deaths of many great Alphas, and yet here he stood, unable to tear his eyes away from her.Her soft, shimmering lips stood out to him from across the clearing, occasionally being grazed by her soft, silky golden hair. Her delicate fingers brushed a strand from over her crystal blue eyes as they continued to gaze over the leather-covered book resting in the center of her lap.A soft breeze flowed over her bare shoulders, sending her scent right in his direction. A shiver traveled up his spine as his eyes rolled back into his head. A low growl erupted from his chest, wondering why she was all alone in an empty clearing. She seemed like a prize he had yet to win. (Complete

Revenge runs in Matteo Dragonetti’s blood. When he storms into Amara Cerulli's wedding, he isn't there to toast her happiness—he’s there for revenge. The ruthless heir to New York’s most feared mafia family, Matteo is out to settle a blood debt that left his mother crippled and his family shattered. His price? The Cerulli princess—stolen straight from the altar. Amara never wanted a life tied to her father’s sins, but Matteo doesn’t care about her innocence. To him, she’s a trophy, a pawn in his deadly game of revenge. Little does he know Amara is no delicate prize. Beneath her blood-stained dress lies a fierce will Matteo didn’t expect—and a fire he can’t resist. But in this twisted war for power, the line between captor and captive blurs, and the most dangerous game of all begins. *** “Your parents are still alive, and I am hoping they try and get you back just so they can see how much I’ve ruined you.” I say, grinning as horror inches into her eyes. “You’re a monster…” she trails off, her blue eyes brimming with unshed tears, and I chuckle darkly. “Oh, you have no fucking idea, Princessa,” I say, then letting her go and watching as she cringes away from me. She sobs silently, still dressed in her blood-stained dress and looking like a vengeful angel. Only I will snuff the light from her eyes; her ruination will be mine to savor. I’ll show him what happens when he f*cks with the Dragonetti family.

“You think I want this?” she hisses. “You think I asked for this bond? I hate you. I hate everything about you. You killed my husband. You took everything from me!” “Then kill me,” I growl, my voice barely more than a whisper. “If you hate me so much, kill me and end this.” She shakes her head, her eyes narrowing. “I’m not giving you the easy way out. Not until I know what rejecting this bond will do to me and my pack. Not until I know what we’re dealing with. Until then, I invoke The Gallows Law.” *** Luna Katya's world is shattered when her husband, Alpha Andrei, is killed by the ruthless Rogue Alpha Ruslan. Grieving and pregnant, Katya is ready to see the man responsible for her loss executed. But when Ruslan is brought before her, the mate bond snaps into place, throwing her life into chaos. Shocked and horrified, Katya calls for a stay of execution, invoking an old law known as The Gallows Law, which forbids the execution of a fated mate. Now, Katya must not only face the anger of her pack, who are disgusted by her sudden connection to the man they all hate, but a mate who hates her and who she hates in equal measure. Caught in a web of anger and attraction, Katya must decide whether to reject the bond and risk its unknown consequences, or keep the Rogue alive long enough to figure out what the Goddess has cursed her with. But the clock is ticking, and the pack won’t wait forever for justice.

"Quoi ? !" Elle s'exclame et se moque. "Est-ce que j'ai l'air d'une vulgaire salope pour toi ?" "Non. Tu as l'air convenable mais je veux juste être sûr que tu n'es pas attiré par moi comme tu l'as prétendu." Je vois bien qu'elle a menti. Elle me trouve attirant. Je sais que je suis le plus bel homme qu'elle ait jamais vu de toute sa vie. Mais elle ne veut pas que je le sache. Elle ne s'est pas encore remise du choc de ma question lorsque je pose ma main sur sa taille et que, l'instant d'après, mes lèvres sont sur les siennes. Elle halète lorsque je l'embrasse doucement. Ses yeux sont grands ouverts de surprise et je peux entendre son cœur battre deux fois plus vite que d'habitude. Mes yeux sont également ouverts parce que je veux voir son expression. Je peux sentir ses pensées. Elle n'arrive pas à croire qu'elle embrasse un autre homme juste un jour après avoir rompu avec son premier petit ami. Elle a l'impression de le tromper. Elle n'a jamais embrassé personne d'autre que son premier petit ami. Embrasser un autre homme qui est moi, c'est différent. Je sais tout cela d'après son expression. Je suis doux avec elle. Lorsque je mords ses lèvres inférieures, elle émet un gémissement et ferme les yeux pour profiter de l'instant, oubliant qu'elle essaie de cacher ses émotions à l'homme qui se tient devant elle. Je ferme les yeux à mon tour et je fais glisser ma main le long de sa cuisse, puis je soulève sa jambe gauche. Elle halète à nouveau. L'embrassant toujours, je la porte avec la jambe gauche jusqu'à la dalle, la plaçant dos au grand miroir. Je n'ai pas cessé de l'embrasser pendant que je me débarrassais de mon pantalon et de mon short.

"Don't deny it. You want it." Killian said to me, stroking the nape of my neck with his thumb. His face is so close to mine and I forgot to breathe. I gasped when he pushed my dress higher, revealing my thighs to him and let his hands rest between my thighs. I tilted my head to the side to avoid his lustful gaze, penetrating deep into my soul. "Your body craves it." He said, firing kisses down my neck till his lips touched my hard, naked nipples. That sent shivers down my spine. My body erupted with goosebumps and I exhaled sharply. I want to speak, but I can't. He has that much effect on me. His tongue played with my nipples and I mewled. That felt so good. "You want me as much as I want you." He whispered with his lips pressed on my skin. I shouldn't be doing this. I know I should stay away from this man but how can I when he invades my thoughts daily? When he's the only one my body wants. It's frustrating because no matter how hard I try, I can't say no to him. And I am this close to making the worst mistake of my life. I swallowed, trying to fathom the words out.His fingers brushed my core and I jerked forward, pressing my body on his. "I don't want you." "You're lying." He said, playing with the strap of my thong with a lazy finger. My eyes rolled back in my socket with pleasure. I am lying but he's making it so hard. "We shouldn't be doing this, Killian." Killian? Do I really have the right to call him that? "Give me one reason why and I won't touch you." "Because you're my best friend's Fiance."

Because my father's childhood sweetheart's daughter was accidentally burned, my father was angry and locked me in the fire house where werewolf criminals were punished. The Beta of the pack, my father, looked at me with disgust written all over his face: "I don't have such a cruel daughter. You'll stay here and reflect on what you've done." I begged loudly for mercy, admitted my mistake, pleading for him to let me out. All I got in return was his merciless command. "Unless she's dead, no one is to release her." The fire house stood isolated at the edge of the territory. No matter how much I screamed for help, no one could hear me. He assigned the housekeeper to set the room to spray fire every 2 hours. The burns were excruciating, my werewolf healing barely keeping me alive between sessions. Ten days later, he finally remembered he had a daughter and decided to let me out. But what he didn't know was that I had already died in that fire house, never to wake again.

Dans un bar, Léa Bernard a entendu Théo Marchand dire : « Léa est très belle. Je l'ai courtisée à l'époque, c'est parce qu'elle ressemble un peu à Élise Fontaine. Toutes ces années, j'ai toujours cherché l'ombre d'Élise en elle. » C'était alors qu'elle a compris qu'elle n'avait été qu'un simple substitut. Ce soir-là, elle a composé ce numéro qu'elle n'avait pas appelé depuis longtemps. « Allô, papa, j'accepte de rentrer à la maison pour le mariage arrangé. » Plus tard, Théo a revu ce visage qu'il avait tant désiré lors d'un banquet, et quand il a appris la véritable identité de Léa, il a complètement perdu la tête… Le jour où Léa avait refusé le mariage arrangé et avait quitté la maison, Alex Dubois s'était tenu devant la fenêtre, faisant tourner son vin rouge, un regard indéchiffrable dans les yeux, « Léa, un jour tu reviendras sagement à mes côtés. » On disait qu'Alex, l'héritier de la famille la plus puissante de Rivélys, était froid, austère et indifférent aux femmes, et Léa l'avait cru sans réserve. Ce n'était que plus tard que Léa a découvert à quel point Alex était fou derrière son apparence calme et austère.
