"Your mate was the last piece to the puzzle. I sent my men there to kill her while you were busy fighting with the alphas.

"I'm going to kill all of you!!!" I roar out as I start to claw and punch the wall of the silver box, trying to get out.***Betrayed by the wolves. They took everything away from him. His mate, family, and friends. They locked him away inside a silver box to live out the rest of his days. All he wants is to make them pay, but once he's finally get free he's in for a big surprise.

Le jour où mes beaux-parents ont été kidnappés, mon mari était en train de cuisiner pour Céline Laurent, son premier amour. Je ne l’ai pas empêché d’aller jouer les bons samaritains, mais j’ai pris la peine d’appeler la police. Parce que j’avais vécu cette scène une fois déjà. Dans ma vie précédente, j’avais empêché mon mari d’aller voir son amour de jeunesse. Il avait alors retenu mes beaux-parents sur le départ, évitant ainsi le drame de leur agression. Mais son premier amour, elle, s’était coupée la main. La plaie s’était infectée, et elle avait dû être amputée. À l’époque, mon mari ne m’avait pas reproché un seul mot. Jusqu’à un an plus tard. Alors que j’étais enceinte et sur le point d’accoucher, il m’a attirée sur une falaise isolée avant de me pousser dans le vide. « Si tu ne m’avais pas empêché d’aller voir Cécile cette nuit-là, rien de tout ça ne serait arrivé ! Tout est de ta faute ! » « Pourquoi est-ce Cécile qui a dû être amputée ? C’est toi qui aurais dû mourir ! Sale vipère ! » Je suis tombée dans le vide, emportant avec moi l’enfant que je portais, morte avec une haine inextinguible. Cette fois-ci, mon mari est parti comme il l’avait voulu, pour s’occuper de son premier amour. Mais à son retour, il s’est effondré à genoux, vieilli de dix ans en une nuit.

J'ai eu une relation secrète avec Alex Thomas pendant cinq ans et je l'ai séduit d'innombrables fois. Même quand je me suis tenue nue devant lui, avec des oreilles de lapin sur la tête, il m'a simplement couverte d'une couverture de peur que j'aie froid. J'ai cru que c'était la retenue d'un chef de la mafia, qu'il voulait garder notre première fois pour la nuit du mariage, mais un mois avant la cérémonie, il a secrètement organisé le plus grand feu d'artifice de la ville pour fêter l'anniversaire de son amie d'enfance. Ils se sont enlacés devant tout le monde, ont mangé le gâteau ensemble, puis sont entrés dans un hôtel pour couples. Quand je les ai vus quitter l'hôtel ensemble le lendemain matin, j'ai compris qu'Alex n'était pas réservé ni froid, il ne m'aimait tout simplement pas. En sortant de l'hôtel, j'ai appelé mes parents : « Papa, Alex et moi, nous nous sommes séparés. J'accepte d'épouser le fils de la famille des Laurent. » Mon père a été stupéfait : « Mais tu ne l'aimais pas à la folie, Alex ? Comment avez-vous pu rompre ? » « J'ai entendu dire que le fils de la famille des Laurent ne pouvait pas avoir d'enfants… Toi qui aimes tant les enfants, comment feras-tu sans les tiens ? » J'ai répondu d'une voix lasse : « Ce n'est pas grave… je pourrai en adopter beaucoup. »
