Nelson Ball Bubble Pendant

J'étais mariée à Victor Hérault pendant huit ans. Il a ramené quatre-vingt-dix-neuf femmes à la maison. Et ce soir, je regardais la centième. Une fille jeune, arrogante. Elle m'a jeté un regard provocateur avant de se tourner vers lui : « Victor, c'est ta femme inutile, celle-là ? » Il s'est affalé contre le dossier de son fauteuil et a répondu d'un ton paresseux. « Oui. » La fille s'est approchée de moi, m'a donné une tape sur la joue et a souri : « Ce soir, tu vas découvrir ce qu'une vraie femme sait faire ! » Ce soir-là, j'ai été forcée d'écouter leurs gémissements toute la nuit, dans le salon. Le lendemain matin, comme si de rien n'était, Victor m'a demandé de préparer le petit déjeuner. Je l'ai refusé. Il semblait oublier que notre mariage n'a jamais été d'amour, mais un simple contrat. Et aujourd'hui, c'était le troisième jour avant la fin de ce contrat.

Kas Latmus n'est même pas une oméga dans la meute de la Lune d'Argent. Elle est une esclave. Son Alpha l'a maltraitée pendant des années. Le jour de son dix-septième anniversaire, son loup se réveille et insiste pour dire que la Déesse de la Lune est sa mère. Kas sait que cela ne peut pas être vrai, mais elle est trop faible pour argumenter, jusqu'à ce qu'elle commence à subir une transformation inhabituelle et à manifester des capacités qui ne sont pas normales pour un loup-garou. Alors que Kas est prête à abandonner la vie, l'impitoyable Bronx Mason, un Alpha loup-garou réputé pour tuer les loups faibles, apparaît et la revendique comme sa compagne. Kas pourra-t-elle surmonter des années de maltraitance et apprendre à aimer l'Alpha menaçant qui est son compagnon, ou est-elle trop brisée pour l'accepter et devenir la Luna que son loup croit qu'elle devrait être ?

Mon frère est l'Alpha de la meute du Clair de Lune, et j'aurais dû être la petite louve la plus heureuse de toute la meute. Mais la compagne destinée de mon frère, Sélène, m'a accusée de l'avoir harcelée. Fou de rage, mon frère — le seul membre de ma famille qui me restait dans ce monde — m'a envoyée au Centre de Réhabilitation de la Meute, un endroit réservé aux jeunes criminels et loups délinquants. Pendant deux ans, j'y ai été maltraitée, jusqu'à perdre définitivement la capacité de me transformer. Je suis devenue la sœur docile qu'il avait toujours voulue. Mais quand il a découvert que j'avais perdu ma louve, que j'étais devenue une véritable Oméga, il est devenu fou. « Skye, je t'en supplie, appelle-moi encore une fois 'frère' ! »

Vous vous efforcez tant de rendre les personnes qui vous entourent moins stressées et plus heureuses, mais elles qualifient cela d'« attention excessive » et de « pathétique ». Même celui que vous avez porté pendant neuf mois s'est joint à elles... D'une manière ou d'une autre, la corde déjà fissurée finirait par se rompre. Hazel s'est effondrée lorsqu'elle a réalisé qu'elle avait perdu son enfant à cause de la famille à laquelle elle avait consacré sa vie. Son mari a consacré son temps et son attention à son amour perdu, et son fils refuse de la reconnaître. Y avait-il autre chose qu'elle pouvait faire à la maison ? La goutte d'eau a fait déborder le vase, et sa majestueuse personnalité a enfin eu la chance de vivre la vie qu'elle avait abandonnée à cause d'eux. Aujourd'hui, l'héritière de la famille la plus riche de la ville est de retour. Hazel est de retour !

In my previous life, my best friend gave me a lock-shaped good-luck pendant. I never expected that once I put it on, it would never come off. Soon after, I came down with a fever that lasted seven days straight. When I finally woke up, everything in my life began to fall apart. Misfortune followed me everywhere. That was when I discovered the truth—I had swapped fates with her husband. He would get my wealth while I would get a short, ill-fated life. From then on, the two of them lived a life of effortless wealth, making money without even lifting a finger. Meanwhile, I sank into poverty, plagued by constant bad luck. I struggled through life and did not even make it to 30 before I was killed in a car accident. As I died, my mentally disabled younger brother cried out and rushed in front of me to shield me. However, he could not stop the incoming vehicle, and we died there together. When I opened my eyes again, I had been reborn back to the moment she was about to put the pendant on me. I let out a cold smile and pondered. Since she was so desperate to steal my wealthy fate, then she could have a XYY husband instead.

The Small town of Moon-Land has a tradition that is as old as the town itself, The Mating Run. At the end of the last day of school, all graduating students (18 years old) and any unmated wolf that are between 18 and 21 are forced to attend the event. The Mating Run is like a big debutant ball for most. But far less fancy, held in a forest and with wolves instead of people in fine attires. Rose James is stuck going one last time to the dreaded event, but she knows that she won't find her mate. Because she doesn't want Alpha mate at all. "I am just going to live my life and too bad if I don't find a mate because I really don't need one. Look how Mom and Dad turned out. They mated with someone who wasn't really their mate and now they are cheating and arguing all the time. If I have to choose between being single and that, I am going to stick to the single life." "You could at least keep an open mind to meeting someone. It doesn't have you be at the Mating Run". "First don't get me started on that stupid event and it's stupider rule and second I don't want anyone, no Alpha, beta or anyone and last no one can change my mind". Rose grumbled.

“You are mine, Jewel.” He tightened his hand around my neck. “Stop. You are hurting me!” I tried to fight his hold, but he wasn't budging. The dark glares in them didn't ease a bit. “That was the extent of this; to hurt you.” His dark glare locked me in place. “Gold digger.” He sneered in a dark tone. ***** Never in my life did I think I will one day be tied to a billionaire who abhors me. I was given to him, in exchange for my sister who committed the crime. Living with him was like hell on Earth. He doesn't love me and never ceases to tell me that. I was locked, caged and rendered incapable by the man who was supposed to cherish me. He made me ache for death. But not until a chance meeting with a man at a ball caused me to rethink my life. However, that was until I learned that the man I called my husband wasn't who he seemed to be. Under the thick layer of his business suits, lay a sly, ruthless devil who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. He's a stalker, a liar and an obsessed man, but he's my husband. And I'm bound to him by law.
