Lila Catherine

"You shouldn’t be here." Lila’s voice trembled, betraying the iron resolve she clung to. Cassian smirked, his broad frame blocking the doorway. "And yet, here I am." His gaze lingered on her, dark and hungry. "You didn’t think I’d let you go so easily, did you?" Two years ago, he shattered her heart with a rejection that still stung like a fresh wound. Now, the powerful Alpha stood in her doorway, his scent wrapping around her like a forbidden promise. "You made your choice, Cassian," she said, stepping back, even as her pulse quickened. "I’ve moved on." "Have you?" His voice was low, dangerous, as he closed the distance between them. "Because I haven’t. Every moment without you has been hell." Lila’s breath hitched as his hand brushed her cheek, the touch sparking a fire she thought had long since burned out. "You don’t get to do this," she whispered, though her body betrayed her, leaning into him. "I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine again," he growled, his lips just a breath away from hers. "Even if I have to fight the entire world you to prove it." But Cassian isn’t the only one after her heart. And this time, Lila refuses to be anyone’s second choice.

My husband, Caleb Price, and I, Sienna Hart, have been married for many years. Our relationship is going strong, and our son, Tobey, is thoughtful and kind. I've always believed we would spend our whole lives together. What I don't expect is that Caleb would hurt me and Tobey three times because of the same woman. The first time, we agree to celebrate Tobey's birthday, but Caleb forgets his promise because he has to pick up his first love, Lila Monroe, from the airport. When I return home from a business trip, all I find is my heartbroken son. The second time, Caleb secretly takes our son and Lila to the amusement park. He doesn't know that Tobey is allergic to peanuts, and he ends up in the hospital. The third time, Caleb repeatedly promises to pick Tobey up from school alone, but when Caleb hears that Lila is ill, he tells Tobey to go home by himself. On the way home, Tobey is kidnapped. After he's rescued, he spends three days in the hospital in critical condition before pulling through. Each time, Caleb apologizes with utmost sincerity and swears that there won't be a next time. Maybe he's forgotten, but I once told him that I'd only forgive him three times. So, when he finishes apologizing and thinks life will return to the happy days it was before… It doesn't. Yes, I forgive him, but I'm also taking Tobey and leaving him—forever.

Je suis mariée à Elliot Graves, le baron de la drogue mafieux de Paris, depuis huit ans maintenant. Mais aujourd'hui — le jour de notre anniversaire de mariage — j'ai reçu une photo de lui avec ma meilleure amie, Lila, célébrant comme s'ils étaient les mariés. Et dans ses bras se trouvait mon fils, Owen. J'ai fixé l'image, puis j'ai tapé une phrase en réponse. « Comme c'est parfait. » Une demi-heure plus tard, Elliot a fait irruption par la porte d'entrée. Sa voix a tonné dans le couloir. « Pourquoi es-tu toujours aussi garce avec Lila ? » Owen, mon petit garçon, a poussé contre ma jambe et m'a lancé un regard noir. « Méchante Maman », a-t-il dit. « J'aimerais que Mlle Lila soit ma vraie maman. » Je n'ai pas bronché. J'ai simplement marché vers le tiroir, en ai sorti la pile de papiers bien ordonnés que j'avais préparés depuis longtemps, et je les ai posés sur la table avec un calme définitif. « D'accord », ai-je dit, d'une voix calme. « Tout est de ma faute. Maintenant, puis-je partir ? »

Kael was a god once. Loved. Worshipped. Feared. But when he fell for a mortal girl, the heavens stripped him of his divinity and cursed him to roam the earth as the first werewolf—a beast feared by all. Worse, she wasn’t spared. Eira, his love, was bound to an endless cycle of reincarnation, each life erased of him. And in every lifetime, Kael finds her, only to lose her again. Now, centuries later, Eira is reborn as Lila in a modern world where packs rule the shadows and Kael reigns as an untouchable king. Drawn to him despite the danger, Lila begins to uncover pieces of a life she doesn’t remember and a love she can’t explain. But the gods are watching, and they will not allow Kael to defy them again. The heavens demand Kael let her go to break the curse. They promise him redemption, but Kael knows better. He has endured centuries of their cruelty, and this time, he will not bow. If they want her, they will pay in blood. Even if it costs him everything.

Eu tinha acabado de formar o vínculo de companheiros com meu companheiro destinado, Alfa Damien, quando ele trouxe para casa uma órfã para pagar uma “dívida de vida”. A partir daquele dia, eu sempre fiquei em segundo lugar. Atrás da garota, Lila. Sempre. Lila me incriminou, alegando que eu a tinha forçado a perder o controle da sua loba. Por causa disso, Damien me trancou nas celas de prata por três dias e três noites. — A prata vai te ensinar a ser uma Luna tolerante! O envenenamento por prata é uma tortura. Minha loba definhou. Eu implorei por misericórdia, afogando-me em agonia. Enquanto isso, Lila apenas se aninhava ao lado dele, com a voz pingando falsa preocupação. — Serena é sua companheira, afinal. Quando ela sente dor, você sente dor. Dói em mim ver você sofrer. Mais tarde, para fazer Lila feliz, Damien publicamente entregou a ela o meu assento no Conselho da Alcateia — a uma garota que não sabia absolutamente nada. Desta vez, eu não disse nada. Eu apenas rompi nosso vínculo de companheiros. Dias depois, enquanto ele se contorcia na agonia do nosso vínculo rompido, ele finalmente ouviu a notícia. Eu havia me juntado à unidade de elite real, The Talons. E eu nunca mais voltaria. Ele desmoronou.

Acababa de aparearme con mi compañero, el Alfa Damien, cuando él trajo a la manada a una huérfana para pagar una "deuda de vida". Desde ese día, pasé a un segundo plano frente a la loba, Lila. Siempre. Lila me tendió una trampa, afirmando que la obligué a perder el control de su loba. Por eso, Damien me encerró en las celdas de plata durante tres días y tres noches. —¡La plata te enseñará a cómo ser una Luna tolerante! El envenenamiento por plata es tortura. Mi loba se marchitó. Supliqué por misericordia, ahogándome en la agonía. Lila simplemente se acurrucó contra él, con su voz destilando una preocupación falsa. —Serena es tu compañera, después de todo. Cuando ella siente dolor, tú sientes dolor. Me duele verte sufrir. Más tarde, para hacer feliz a Lila, Damien le entregó públicamente mi asiento en el Consejo de la manada, a ella, una loba que no sabía nada. Esa vez, no dije nada. Simplemente corté nuestro vínculo de compañeros. Días después, mientras él se retorcía en la agonía de nuestro vínculo roto, finalmente escuchó las noticias. Yo me había unido a la unidad de élite de la realeza, The Talons. Y nunca iba a regresar. Él se hizo pedazos.

Anthony Lake, my wealthy fiance, falls in love with Lila Hart, a blind professional dancer, and insists on breaking off our engagement, even though I am the heiress of a powerful family in the region. To preserve the alliance between our families, I seek out renowned doctors to treat Lila and set the stage to support her comeback. However, she accuses me of humiliating her and insists on jumping into a river to prove her resolve. Ten years later, my former fiance has taken control of the region. He swallows up my family's assets and drives us to the brink of suicide. "This is the price you pay for killing her!" Then, I open my eyes, and I'm back in the moment where Anthony publicly confesses his love to Lila. This time, I walk straight toward Shane York, the silent mining tycoon from the northwest, who is quietly sitting in the corner. I wrap my arm around his neck, place his hand on my waist, and command him to kiss me.

I moaned out his name. "Damien, you are not trying hard to get me, yet .." He smirked and whispered to my ears. "I like being hard, Not "trying" hard." His hand grazed mine, sending a shiver straight to places I didn’t know I could feel. Damien’s smirk was wicked, his eyes dark with desire, and my body betrayed me with every glance. I wanted him, yet my heart longed for someone gentler, someone who could love me without burning me alive. Ethan’s soft voice behind me made my chest ache, reminding me there was a different way to feel alive...a way that felt safe, tender, and real.
