"His lips traced the curve of her neck, searing fire into her skin as his hands roamed, claiming every inch of her. Selene gasped, arching into him, her nails raking down his back. “Say it,” Ryker growled against her throat, his breath ragged, his body demanding. “Say you belong to me.” But she wasn’t just his. She was power itself. And tonight, she would show him exactly why." A strikingly beautiful and powerful Alpha, she was raised to lead her pack with strength and wisdom. But on the night of her ascension, she was shattered. Her fated mate—the one destined to stand beside her—rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. And in that moment, Selene broke. Or maybe… something awakened. As the humiliation settles like poison in her veins, Selene discovers a truth long buried—she is Moonborn, the child of an ancient prophecy. With power that eclipses even the strongest Alphas, she is meant to rule not just her pack, but all packs.. Then there’s him. Ryker—a rogue wolf with a past carved in blood. He steps into her territory like a storm, bringing with him danger, temptation, and secrets as deadly as her own. Their attraction is instant. Catastrophic. And though she fights it, Ryker is the one who stirs her deepest desires. But is he her salvation? Or her downfall? Betrayal lurks within her own pack. An enemy from the shadows seeks to claim her throne. The council of elders wants her power erased. And when Ryker’s true agenda is revealed, Selene is faced with the most devastating heartbreak of all. But she is no longer the broken Alpha. A story of rejection, seduction, and the rise of a ruler who will not be tamed. The Lunar Queen is coming. And she bows to no one.

I'm Alex. I'm twenty-one years old, and soon to take over my father's position in the pack, the Alpha of Silver Crescent Moon. And, I'm a girl! Yes, that's my secret. In fact, it's my whole Alpha family's secret. People at first glance take me as a girl. Short hairs, sharp jawline, muscular body, rough nails and my name that's enough to verify me as man in their eyes. When my mom was pregnant, my father was under Elder's pressure. Only having a male offspring as his heir could save his Alpha's position in the pack. He did everything in his possession, prayers to the Moon Goddess, offering sacrifices, doing witchcrafts. All that to have a son. However, the Goddess didn't seem to be impressed by his practices and delivered him me instead, a girl, the last thing he ever wanted. Though devastated by the news, he did not give up. He lied the world that his wife had birthed a boy, forced the witch to make me appear masculine, ruined my female scent and did everything he could to make the world believe his lie. But, his audacity... He asked me to attend the Kingdoms' Mating Festival to choose my mate! I thought navigating a ballroom full of eligible she-wolves was my biggest threat. But, I was wrong. Something worse was waiting for me. Rosemary Thorne, the daughter of high ranking Alpha, was found disheveled and screaming in the forest. She pointed a trembling finger at me and suddenly I became the physical assaulter. If I remain silent on this, I'll get excuted for the crime I could never commit.

La cinquième année de son mariage avec Philippe, Céline a reçu des messages vocaux provocateurs et des photos intimes envoyés depuis le téléphone de son mari par sa première petite amie. « En six mois depuis mon retour au pays, il m'a suffi d'un petit geste pour qu'il tombe dans mes filets. » « Ce soir, il a préparé des feux d'artifice bleus pour moi. Je n'aime pas le bleu, alors pour éviter le gâchis, je te les offre pour votre anniversaire de mariage. » Un mois plus tard, c'était leur cinquième anniversaire de mariage. Céline regardait les feux d'artifice bleus qui éclataient dehors, puis elle a jeté un coup d'œil à la chaise vide en face d'elle.

À l'Ombre de nos Désirs Éliane pense avoir trouvé l'opportunité de sa vie lorsqu'elle est engagée comme archiviste personnelle par Kaelan, un magnat de l'industrie aussi fascinant que redouté. Sa mission : classer des documents anciens dans son manoir isolé. Le poste est trop bien payé pour être refusé. Mais très vite, elle comprend que le contrat qu'elle a signé va bien au-delà d'un simple emploi. C'est un pacte avec le diable. Kaelan ne veut pas seulement de ses compétences ; il la veut, elle. Tout entière. L'isolement du manoir devient sa prison dorée. Kaelan use d'un jeu pervers de séduction, de manipulation et de cruauté psychologique pour briser ses défenses. Il alterne entre une tendresse envoûtante et une froideur calculée, la poussant au bord du gouffre. Chaque interaction est un combat de pouvoir, chaque regard un défi, chaque toucher une brûlure ambiguë. La frontière entre le ravisseur et le protecteur, entre le bourreau et l'amant, devient de plus en plus floue. Éliane lutte contre l'attraction morbide qu'elle ressent pour cet homme qui détruit méthodiquement son libre arbitre. Les scènes intimes sont des batailles, des punitions, des récompenses, et parfois, des moments d'une vulnérabilité déchirante qui révèlent les propres démons de Kaelan.

Résumé : Charlotte Green savait déjà ce que c'était que de remplacer sa sœur. Sa relation avec elle, qui avait duré plus de dix ans, en était un exemple poignant et amer. Ne pouvant avoir Cecilia, sa jumelle, il s'était rabattu sur la deuxième meilleure option. Après des années à la faire languir, il la quitta le jour de leur anniversaire, lui avouant qu'il ne pourrait jamais oublier Cecilia. À présent, ses parents lui demandaient comment reproduire le même scénario, à la seule différence qu'elle devrait épouser cet homme. Hayden Maxwell, un homme réputé pour avoir le don de Midas. Parti de rien, il avait bâti sa fortune grâce à des choix judicieux et souvent lucratifs pour son entreprise, qui lui avaient permis de devenir milliardaire avant même d'avoir trente ans. Il avait aussi été l'aventure d'un soir de Cecilia, devenue son fiancé, du moins avant qu'un terrible accident ne le rende aveugle. Cecilia ne voulait plus se marier. Tous les regards de la famille Green se tournèrent vers Charlotte. Handicapée ou non, Hayden Maxwell restait l'un des hommes les plus puissants de la ville ; ils ne pouvaient pas annuler le mariage à une semaine de la date prévue. Il ne restait donc qu'une seule option. Charlotte allait devoir se contenter d'un second choix.

The series follows 3 Alphas as they meet their mates in the most difficult and unpredictable way. Will they choose to protect their pack and break the matebond or will they risk it all to have it all? The story starts with Alpha Max and Raven. Book 1 of the Alliance Series Max: She has the brightest ocean blue, which is made more enchanting by her long black lashes and perfectly sculpted eyebrows. Her button nose and defined cheekbone make her look so innocent. Her plump dark red lips are begging to be devoured. Her silky smooth long black her is tied in a high ponytail. A hint of pink reaches her cheeks and I swear I have never seen a more beautiful, alluring, and enchanting woman. She looks like something out of a dream or fairy tale. She does not belong in a place with so much violence and death. As I let my eyes roam her body, I notice she is only dressed in an oversized shirt, leaving her long-toned porcelain legs on full display. Her arms are folded in front of her chest which only pushes ups her perky tits. Her nails are digging into her forearm like she is holding herself back. She’s not the only one trying to hold back. I can see my hand wrapped around her ponytail pulling her tightly against me devouring her lips and breasts as she wraps those gorgeous porcelain legs around me so that I can plunge myself into her. I'm pulled away from my thoughts by Colton's sombre voice "Max, we are sorry we didn’t make it in time, we came as soon as we received the SOS”.

I am the white wolf princess of the Coyote Pack. By the Moon Goddess’s decree, Barry was meant to be my fated mate. But during the peace negotiations, he gave me away—to Bayport’s crippled warrior, Colin—as a “hostage bride.” Barry smiled carelessly, his voice cruelly tender. “Emily, let me complete the bond with Evelyn first. This is just a deal. You are still my true Luna.” My nails bit into my palms, pain hollowing out my chest. Evelyn was nothing but a low-blood she-wolf he had rescued from the border. Yet for her, he used a truce marriage alliance to force me into surrender. Later, when I sought him out, I found him tending Evelyn’s wounds, wrapping her with gentle hands. He looked up, his tone light as if it cost him nothing. “If you let Evelyn be my mate alongside you, and divide half of your inheritance for her, I will withdraw the marriage alliance order.” I took off the bone pendant he once risked his life to give me and held it out to him. But he let it slip from his hand, shattering it against the floor. “If you don’t want it,” he said coldly, “then throw it away.” On the eve of the wedding alliance, Evelyn fell to her knees before the pack, sobbing as she accused me of hiding the Alpha’s Contract Stone—to help Colin breach our borders. The crowd erupted in whispers. Barry admitted it was he who had gifted me the stone, yet still turned on me, demanding: “If I ask for it back, will you return it?” At that moment, I finally let every hope die.

The doors of elite research institutions aren't open to the unknown. But Rick Allen pulled Beth out of nowhere. He poured everything into nurturing her talent and promised her the world. The Allen family's compromise was simple: the Chief Young Scientist had to be Summer Belden—someone from their own social circle. From that day on, the words Rick said to Beth most often were, "Just wait a little longer." He told her to wait when her groundbreaking paper was published under Summer's name in exchange for research funding. He told her to wait again when the research she'd perfected over three years was packaged as Summer's signature work, paving the way to major awards. "The bigger picture comes first," he said. "The next Nobel Prize—I'll make sure it's yours." But when the paper credited to Summer—though written by Beth—was exposed for fabricated data, everyone reached the same conclusion: Beth, as a core member of the project, had tampered with the data to steal the credit. Locked in a glass-walled archive room, Beth looked at Rick standing outside the door. His gaze was ice-cold, full of disappointment. "Why did you touch the data?" he said. "You've ruined everything I've built." She remembered how he once told her, "In this world, yours is the only talent I truly recognize." He had promised, "I'll make sure achievements with your name hang among the stars." Now he stood with the others, judging her. He looked at her the way people look at a ruthless, ambitious fraud. When she was finally released, Beth dug her nails into her palm until blood ran down. This time, she wouldn't wait any longer.
