K-o-l-o-h-e Lyrics

« J'arrive à un âge où en dépit du bois qui l'a nourrie, ma flamme n'est plus qu'une lueur vacillante, de celles qui usent les yeux pour écrire ses mémoires. Elle jette toutefois sur mes heures passées une lumière apaisée et éclaire mes actes sous un angle honnête. Loin de l'hagiographie chantée par les bardes, elle souligne les faits glorieux sans écraser les zones d'ombre. » Héritière de l'Arbre-Mère, Luwise se rêve en artisan de paix, protectrice d'Okateï, unificatrice des royaumes sylvestres et des Enténébrés. Ses nobles ambitions se heurtent aux scepticismes et aux réticences des Seigneurs, humains et démoniaques, jaloux de leurs pouvoirs. Luwise devra faire la preuve que son titre n'est pas une coquille vide. Par la force et par les mots, elle devra gagner les coeurs et mater ses rivaux. Le chemin est étroit entre sagesse et tyrannie, il est aisé de se perdre soi-même. L'ère d'Osukateï s'ouvre dans un brasier qui pourrait bien consumer le monde.

Emma Blanton twists her ankle, and my fiance, Matthew Harrison, insists on becoming her personal chauffeur. When I voice my disapproval, he makes an even more outrageous decision. He moves Emma into my apartment at Bellemont District—the apartment I bought with my own money. He argues like he's the victim, "You're being selfish. She's injured, and living alone is too dangerous for her right now. I'm just being a decent human being. "And that place is sitting empty anyway. Having someone there helps with security." On the morning we were supposed to get our marriage certificate, he doesn't show up. I call, expecting apologies. Instead, I hear, "Emma had a fever this morning—101 Fahrenheit. I had to take her to urgent care. We can postpone getting the marriage certificate. Her health can't wait." To hell with postponing! I grab my phone and call David Rockefeller. "Do you want to marry me? Then get to City Hall. I'm serious—right now."

prologue L’amour d’enfance de l’Alpha Un Alpha puissant et ambitieux s’apprête à épouser la fille d’un roi Alpha pour des raisons diplomatiques et par devoir, même s’il doute qu’elle soit son âme sœur. Il croit en son mariage jusqu’au jour de la cérémonie, où un événement inattendu bouleverse tout et le pousse à annuler cette union tant attendue.

— «Tu aurais dû fuir, Mira, je ne suis pas celui que tu crois. » Et sans me laisser le temps de réagir, il se penche sur moi et m’embrasse. Pas doucement, pas tendrement non plus, mais avec cette intensité brute et affamée qu’il contient… comme s’il attendait ce moment depuis une éternité, comme si retenir ce désir l’avait torturé. Il grogne contre mes lèvres, ses doigts s’enfoncent un peu plus dans ma nuque, son autre main descend, glisse le long de mon corps et attrape ma hanche avec force… Elle, c’est Mira, bientôt vingt ans : une petite humaine ordinaire, avec des rêves plein la tête, qui s’apprêtait simplement à rejoindre ses grands-parents dans la réserve d’Eyden-Stood. Un lieu isolé, paisible, presque figé hors du temps. Elle pensait y trouver du calme, un peu de répit, mais cette semaine va changer toute sa vie. Quand la lune est devenue rouge, quand elle s’est mise à briller haut dans le ciel, et que les loups ont hurlé à l’unisson. C’est cette nuit-là qu’elle a compris que les loups-garous n’existaient pas que dans les contes de fées. Mais ce n’était que le début… Ce que Mira va découvrir par la suite dépassera tout ce qu’elle aurait pu imaginer. Des secrets enfouis, mais aussi des vérités que personne n’ose prononcer, et qui vont changer tout ce qu’elle était, mais aussi, tout ce qu’elle pensait ne jamais être.

At twenty-eight, I held the dubious honor of being the last unmarried socialite on New York's Upper East Side. Everyone around me was growing increasingly anxious about my single status. In my previous life, my mother arranged a matchmaking cocktail party, where I was told to choose a husband from ten handpicked elite bachelors. I bribed the event planner to place Mark West's profile at the very top—and as I had hoped, I chose him. After we married, Mark treated me with what seemed like tender affection. He even bought me an oceanfront villa in the Hamptons, making me believe I had finally found true love. But that illusion shattered the day I was nine months pregnant, just hours away from giving birth. Mark drove a scalpel straight into my abdomen—then, right in front of me, hurled our newborn onto the floor. "If you hadn't forced me into this marriage with your family's power, Sofia wouldn't have been heartbroken enough to go drinking and get drugged and assaulted. This… this is what you owe her!" He tossed the scalpel aside, then calmly let his private doctor pin down my blood-soaked body. I fought through excruciating pain for six agonizing hours, until I finally bled to death. Afterward, Mark dumped my corpse into the Hudson River. But for Sofia, he hosted a grand funeral—funded with my money, under my name—and paraded himself to the world as a grieving, devoted widower. Given a second chance at life, I refused to step foot in that cursed matchmaking event. Instead, I went straight to my mother with a demand: marry me to Robert Black—the most ruthless, cold-blooded titan of Wall Street, whose scarred face was feared by all. In the end, stripped of my financial backing, Mark's hedge fund collapsed. He became a disgraced fraudster, spat on by everyone on Wall Street.

When my stepsister, Kate Lawrence, is poisoned at the full moon ceremony, my father, Jack Blackwood, condemns me at once, convinced that I am the one behind it. He clamps silver chains around me and drags me into the manor's dark underground cell. His eyes burn hatefully as he snarls, "You wretch! How could I have a daughter like you? Rot in here!" I drop to my knees on the cold floor and try to explain, but the sentence he throws over his shoulder as he turns away snuffs out the last of my hope. "Even if she dies in there, no one shall go in! Whoever lets her out will die with her!" The cell severs the mind-link completely, so no one hears me screaming. Seven days later, he finally remembers me, not knowing that I'd already died on the fourth day when the silver burned through to the bone.

I stare at the email on my screen, unable to move my fingers. Tomorrow is our company's crucial product launch, and I just learn that the patent for the algorithm I spent three years developing is now filed under Matthew Ashford's new assistant, Sophie Bennett. I storm into Matthew's office to confront him. Sophie sits on his desk with her legs crossed, looking completely innocent. She claims that she filled out the form by mistake. "It's just a clerical error. The patent still belongs to the company. What's the big deal?" Matthew stands up from his chair, positioning himself in front of Sophie. I can't believe what I am hearing. "Matthew, this is my research!" "Emma, you're thirty-five. Why are you picking a fight with a twenty-three-year-old intern?" He frowns. Then, he turns to Sophie. "Starting tomorrow, you're the new CTO. Emma needs… some time off." I'm utterly stunned. A decade of marriage and five years dedicated to building a company together have been shattered by a few casual words from him. Thirty minutes later, Sophie posts a photo on social media of herself sitting on Matthew's lap. They are both clinking champagne glasses. "So lucky to have the best boss ever. I'll make sure to be his loyal kitten." Below that, Matthew leaves a comment—three red heart emojis. I shut my laptop and pick up my phone. "Hello. Is this Mr. David Langley from Novara Group of Sundale Valley? This is Emma Whitmore. I've changed my mind. I'm ready to join you." I pause. "And by the way, about that unreleased algorithm upgrade, I have the complete technical blueprint. Make me an offer." Later, I fly to Tallisport with an eight-figure check in hand, while Matthew goes frantic trying to find me.

I woke up staring at divorce papers—from the guy I'd crushed on all through college. My name. His. Right there on the page. He said I cheated. Last thing I remembered? Getting ready to finally tell him how I felt at our graduation party. Now suddenly, we've got a four-year-old. And him? He looked at me like I was some rando off the street. No trace of the sweet, soft guy I used to know. Just ice. What did I miss? What the hell happened in the last five years?
