Nos Braços Do Rival

''Je n’aurais jamais dû croiser son chemin. Un seul regard, et ma vie a basculé dans un monde de passion interdite, de secrets dangereux et de choix impossibles. Maintenant, il ne me reste qu’une seule certitude : il m’embrassera… ou il me tuera. Je m'appelle Émilie Moretti. Je pensais mener une vie paisible, loin des affaires sombres de mon père. Mais tout bascule lorsque je suis enlevée par Vittorio Romano, un mafieux déterminé à venger la mort de sa famille… causée par le clan Moretti. Entre haine et désir, notre lien devient un mélange dangereux de passion et de trahison. Vittorio lutte entre son besoin de vengeance et l’amour naissant qu’il éprouve pour moi, la fille de son ennemi. Quant à moi, je vais devoir choisir : suivre mon cœur, ou renoncer à l’homme qui pourrait me sauver… ou me détruire. Quand la passion devient plus forte que la mort, l’amour devient une arme. 🔥

J'avais oublié de ramener la maîtresse de mon compagnon, la laissant seule dans la nature pendant trois heures. Fou de rage, il m'a jetée dans un vieux puits abandonné, en pleine campagne. « Toi aussi, tu dois goûter à la souffrance qu'a endurée Ria. » Le puits, profond et étroit, m'obligeait à me recroqueviller sous ma forme de louve. L'air me manquait. Je lui ai demandé pardon, j'ai supplié qu'il me sorte de là — mais tout ce que j'ai obtenu, ce sont ses reproches indifférents. « Repens-toi comme il faut. Il faut que tu comprennes, une bonne fois pour toutes, les responsabilités d'une Luna. » Il a ordonné qu'on scelle l'ouverture du puits avec une lourde pierre. J'ai hurlé, désespérée. Encore et encore, j'ai essayé de grimper, mais chaque fois je retombais. La paroi du puits s'est couverte de traces de mes griffes, témoins de ma lutte acharnée. Jusqu'à ce que ma gorge, brûlante de soif, ne puisse plus émettre le moindre son. Deux semaines plus tard, en découvrant le cadeau d'anniversaire que j'avais commandé pour lui, son cœur a flanché. Pris d'un élan de remords, il a décidé d'enlever ma punition. Mais il ne savait pas qu'au fond du puits, mon cadavre, déjà dévoré par les vers et les serpents, n'avait plus rien d'humain.

After being reborn, the first thing I did was forge a medical report diagnosing chronic kidney disease. In my previous life, my nephew had been diagnosed with kidney failure, and he needed a transplant to survive. I rushed to get a matching test and donated one of my kidneys to him. But over time, my health deteriorated. At twenty, my body felt like it belonged to someone eighty. Even simple chores like sweeping the floor left me exhausted. I couldn't go out to work or earn a living, yet my brother and sister-in-law scolded me for "pretending to be sick." "It's just a kidney." my sister-in-law snapped. "Do you expect to leech off our family forever?" She even went so far as to buy a pair of fresh pig kidneys and smash them in my face. "Since we took one of yours, here's a new pair. Happy now?" Because I had lost a kidney, I died before the age of thirty, alone in a rented apartment. The next time I opened my eyes, I was back—before my nephew's diagnosis even came in.

I had been married to Natasha Bates for ten years, and not once did she ever join me for our family's Independence Day cookout. This year, on the night before the celebration, I finally gathered the courage to ask if she wanted to come. She scoffed and said, "What are you, stuck in the past? Who even celebrates the Fourth with a family dinner anymore?" Yet that very evening, I saw a social media post of Natasha with her male best friend, Stanley Rogers. They were quite intimate in the picture, and the caption read: [True happiness is celebrating Independence Day with your bestie!] I commented back: [Hope you two lovebirds make it official soon.] Stanley did not hold back. He messaged me a bunch of intimate photos of the two of them. Then, he added, [You're just a leech living off his wife. What right do you have to question anything about Nattie?] Everyone always thought I was a gold-digger living off Natasha's success. However, they all forgot that I was the sole major shareholder of the company. This time, I’m done staying silent.

"I, Ruby Quinn, reject you, Alpha Colt Reinhart, as my mate…" ************************** Walking in on my mate, Alpha Colt Reinhart, fucking a red-haired slut on our matrimonial bed was a severe jab to my heart. To make matters worse, he gloated to my face about taking her as his breeder and mocked my inability to bear a child in our four years of being together. The pain from his betrayal came with a great urge to redeem a bit of my dignity, so I rejected him and went crying to his cousin and my childhood sweetheart, Killian Reinhart. We didn’t do anything we weren’t supposed to do. He just let me sleep in his suite after consoling me. It was also the last time I laid my eyes on Colt. However, four years later, I became a mother of three boys with an insane resemblance to Killian, which was very illogical. And if that wasn’t enough complication, Colt returns to my life, pleading for a second chance, and claiming paternity of my kids. It becomes a nasty fight between the two brothers, and it can only end when I choose one of them as the father of my triplets. But how do I do that, when I wasn’t so sure myself?
