Overlord Vol 15

Dans notre meute, chaque loup avait une seule chance dans sa vie d'utiliser un élixir d'amélioration pour renforcer ses capacités, mais cet élixir ne fonctionnait que s'il était préparé par soi-même. Dans ma vie précédente, même si j'étais une simple Oméga, j'avais passé mes journées et mes nuits à préparer mon propre élixir pour devenir la Gamma de la meute. Mais, le jour de la sélection, dès que je me suis transformée, j'ai totalement perdu le contrôle. Ma louve s'est aussitôt prosternée aux pieds de Victoria, la petite-fille du Bêta actuel. Sous les acclamations de toute la meute, Victoria est devenue la nouvelle Gamma. Moi, on m'a battue et humiliée. Tout le monde disait que j'avais volé l'élixir de Victoria, et c'est pour ça que je ne contrôlais plus ma louve. Ils m'ont coupé les deux mains et m'ont jetée dans une mine d'argent. J'ai souffert d'une douleur insupportable dans cette fosse, mes os rongés par l'argent. Jusqu'à mon dernier souffle, je n'ai pas compris… Comment mon propre élixir avait-il pu faire plier ma louve devant Victoria ? Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue une semaine avant la sélection du Gamma. Cette fois, j'ai renoncé à participer et je suis partie seule dans la forêt pour m'entraîner au combat. Le Bêta Richard est resté planté dans l'embrasure de ma maison, me demandant par notre lien mental pourquoi je partais à un moment si important. Pendant ce temps, j'ai retiré mon amulette protectrice, puis je me suis transformée seule en louve pour aller affronter les loups errants sur leur territoire.

What’s better than friendship and laughter? Going on a life changing journey with those friends. Baylor is a 15 year old human boy who was orphaned at 2 when he was the only survivor of a car crash. U.S. authorities couldn’t find any relatives in Ireland to send Baylor home to, so they placed him in the Monroeville orphanage in Boston, Massachusetts. He and his two best friends escaped the orphanage and ran to Silverthorne, Colorado. When he turns 16, Baylor starts hearing a ‘voice’ in his head. Believing that the marajuana he smoked the night before his birthday had been laced with something extra, he tells no one. Then a stranger from his homeland shows up and asks if the voice has told him its name yet. That’s when Baylor’s life gets turned upside down. He’s told he is the missing Alpha Heir of a scattered werewolf pack in Ireland and he needs to come home to take his birthright to reunite the pack. His two best friends are skeptical, but they have always stuck together. Will Baylor and his friends believe and follow this man back to Ireland? Can he reunite the pack and defeat the King of Rogues who sent the pack into hiding? Will there be a little love along the way? Time will tell if Baylor can become the answer to the pack problems and be the Alpha he was born to be.

Alessia n'aurait jamais dû croiser la route de Lorenzo Valente, un mafieux impitoyable à la tête d'un empire criminel. Pourtant, dès leur première rencontre, une attirance aussi violente qu'incontrôlable s’est installée entre eux. Lorenzo, charismatique mais froid, l’a prise sous son aile, mais jamais avec la promesse d’une exclusivité. Alessia, pourtant, s’est abandonnée à lui, espérant qu’il finirait par la choisir, par la sauver de la solitude et du vide qui la ronge. Mais Lorenzo est un homme de pouvoir, incapable de s’attacher à une seule femme. le cœur d’Alessia est brisé lorsqu’elle réalise qu’elle doit partager Lorenzo avec quatre autres femmes : Bianca, une héritière arrogante et influente, qui considère Alessia comme une rivale indigne de Lorenzo. Clara, une amante manipulatrice, sensuelle et perfide, qui pousse Lorenzo à se détourner d’Alessia. Giulia, une femme calme et mystérieuse, dont la discrétion masque une volonté de s’imposer dans le cœur de Lorenzo. Valeria, une ancienne maîtresse sadique et cruelle, qui prend plaisir à humilier Alessia à chaque occasion. Alessia est consciente de chaque regard, chaque baiser volé, chaque nuit passée avec une autre. Elle assiste, impuissante, à ce jeu de domination où Lorenzo semble se délecter de son tourment. Pourtant, malgré la douleur, elle ne parvient pas à le haïr. Pire encore, Lorenzo la garde proche, protecteur et possessif, incapable de la laisser partir alors qu'il refuse de la choisir ouvertement. Dans ce tourbillon de trahison et de passion, Alessia devra faire face à un choix cruel : accepter de n’être qu’une parmi d’autres, ou se détacher définitivement de l’homme qui a pris son cœur en otage. Mais dans le monde de la mafia, s’éloigner de Lorenzo pourrait bien signer sa perte…

Raven et Jade se rencontrent dans une agence de mannequinat notoire de Soho, un antre de néons et de rêves brisés. Dans le brouillard perpétuel de la Tamise, elles reconnaissent instantanément en l'autre la même cicatrice : une enfance volée. Leur alliance nait dans les pubs enfumés et les chambres d'hôtel miteux de King's Cross. Leur relation charnelle est un orage londonien : violent, purificateur et désespéré, un moyen de sentir la chaleur à travers le froid qui les habite. Leur ascension les mène des podiums de Fashion Week aux soirées privées et crapuleuses dans les penthouses de Mayfair et les docks de Wapping. C'est là qu'elles croisent la route des Krayton, une fratrie mafieuse qui règne sur les arrière-salles de la City et le trafic d'influence. Pour ces hommes, éduqués à Eton mais élevés dans la cruauté, les filles sont à la fois des trophées, des outils et des jouets. Les "dettes" se paient en services rendus dans les sombres ruelles de Brick Lane ou les boîtes de nuit exclusives de Soho. La violence des Krayton est froide, méthodique, typiquement britannique dans son hypocrisie meurtrière. Elle réveille en écho les blessures de Raven et de Jade, qui apprennent à naviguer dans ce monde sans pitié. Leur sexualité, déjà tordue, devient une monnaie noire et une dague qu'elles aiguisent contre leurs bourreaux, jouant un jeu mortel de séduction et de trahison. Mais le brouillard de Londres cache tous les secrets. Les fantômes de leur passé , un père qui refait surface, une mère qui menace de tout révéler , ressurgissent au moment où les Krayton, lassés de leur insolence, décident de "régler le problème".

Elle s’appelle Isolde Valentyne. Une femme qu’on ne peut posséder. Une femme qu’ils veulent tous posséder. Son regard brûle comme une promesse, sa peau est un secret que seuls les plus téméraires osent effleurer. Raphaël De Veyrac, héritier d’un empire financier, l’a aimée dès qu’il l’a vue. Pour lui, elle est une évidence, un joyau qu’il veut enfermer dans un écrin d’or. Mais Dante Orsini, prince déchu d’une lignée autrefois puissante, n’a que sa rage et son ambition pour la conquérir. Deux hommes, deux mondes, une seule femme qui, malgré elle, déclenche une guerre où l’amour devient poison et obsession. La nuit est un tissage de murmures et de regards volés. Raphaël l’invite à danser. Son étreinte est sûre, possessive. — Tu sais que tu es à moi, Isolde. Elle frissonne. C’est un ordre, un serment. Mais alors qu’elle s’éloigne, une main plus brute, plus affamée, la saisit. Dante. — Viens avec moi. Ce n’est pas une invitation, c’est une bataille. Un Amour en Cendres Ils l’aiment, mais Isolde refuse d’être un trophée. Raphaël lui offre la sécurité, un empire d’or et d’opulence. Dante lui promet le feu, l’interdit, une vie hors des chaînes du pouvoir. Elle les aime tous les deux. Différemment. Tragiquement. Mais le choix ne lui appartient plus. Elle tremble, sent la chaleur de ses lèvres contre les siennes, mais elle sait qu’il ne peut y avoir de fin heureuse. L’amour ou le néant Quand elle ouvre les yeux, du sang s’étale sur le marbre blanc. Un homme est tombé. L’autre se tient debout. Essoufflé. Vivant. Victorieux ? Mais peut-on gagner un cœur qui se meurt ?

"It's Mayor Montgomery's daughter, Anaïs...Beautiful and...virgin." At these last words, I could hear their cries of satisfaction rising like the cry of wild beasts, ready to do anything to devour me. “So gentlemen, place your bets. Bidding starts from 3 million.” And there...I watched them discuss my price as if I were an object. What had I done to get there? Well, nothing. My only sin was being the daughter of the mayor who has plunged the supernatural people into horror for over 15 years...Indeed, when the government discovered the existence of werewolves, they immediately made a chip that would reduce them to slavery but now that they have revolted, I am an enemy to them. The person they must vent their rage on since my father is now dead. "20 millions." 20 millions ? Still petrified and trembling, I looked up at the man who had just spoken....That scar on his face, that enigmatic look... No, not him. Denver. Slave #345... He was one of my father's five Alpha Slaves. He lived a martyr's life since my father had killed his entire family before bringing him into slavery... He stood out from the crowd because he spent a lot of time spying on me and he even saved my life. However, he was also the one who killed my fathers on the evening of the revolt. Swallowing, I knew that if he bought me it was simply to make me pay for my father's evil... “No…” I whispered, my eyes widening in horror. "20 million...20 million...20million. Awarded."

Olivia had a life that was almost perfect. Her father was the city mayor, her best friend was a good handsome man who was also the son of the founders of the city’s top hospitals, and her physical appearance was almost perfect too that she could make anyone like her anytime. But the thing was that she hated her father for never giving her love ever since her mother passed away—which resulted to her becoming a rebellious teenager. Dakota, on the other hand, had the opposite kind of life as Olivia. She had to do minor crimes at the age of 15 for survival with his older brother. She used to have a dream to be a nurse—which ended up vanishing ever since her life became miserable. One day, Olivia and Dakota crossed paths as Olivia insisted to enter the criminal life of Dakota for fun. Everything was fine at first as they enjoyed being partners in crime—not until the time came when they had to be separated because of the big difference between their lives and the betrayal that cut the relationship between the two girls. Years later, they met again as the both of them had changed to be more mature and powerful from the past years. Olivia had been holding the same guilt for years as Dakota had been holding the same grudge for years. Their sweet relationship had already ended years ago, but did their feelings ever change through the years that passed? What happens when they cross paths again? Will Dakota get her revenge? Or will their sweet relationship as partners in crime be restored again?

One day, Ivy suddenly wake up from her bed and found out she went back 15 years before her death. In her past life, she was like vicious villian of those romantic novels who tried to humilate the female lead due to anger and jealousy! Which later on became miserable due to karma. Her brother died, their company fall into bankruptcy, her ambition to became a successful violonist shattered, and finally she went insane. However, it seems that her misery wasn't enough. Ivy got into an accident and became paralyzed, unable to talk and unable to move. She can only silently hope that her life would end sooner, so she could apologize to her brother in the after life. When she thought that this would be her end, dying all alone in her hospital bed, a man suddenly showed up in front of her and make her realized that there's rainbow after the rain. Unfortunately before she could confess, she died tragically without saying goodbye—such deep feelings were all given to her in vain. But now, she was back again and this time, she would be a better version of herself, she would achieve her dreams, and she would be the one to find him. Will Ivy's glory as a prodigy can be heard again? Can she fulfill her regrets? What would happen when she finally found out the earth shattering truth of her miserable life before? Will she choose to rewind or continue?

Late one night after getting off work, I was scrolling through my company group chat when a colleague shared a piece of news. The headline was horrifying. "Night-Shift Courier Murdered During Delivery, Police Suspect Robbery." I zoomed in on the crime scene photo that had been partially pixelated, and a chill ran straight down my spine. Lying in a pool of blood, the courier who had been hacked to death was unmistakably me. I had scrolled into news of my own death. Almost at the same time, my delivery app began vibrating violently. "Urgent pickup! Destination: Unit 704 Hawthorne Ridge Apartments, Building 7. Time limit: 15 minutes. Penalty for timeout: Death." As I stared at the notification that read "Pickup failed three times", the searing pain of my brutal death surged through my body. So that was it. I had already died three times. When I forced open the half-closed security door of 704 for the fourth time, a thin delivery envelope lay quietly inside. I tore it open. A photograph slipped out. It was a picture of my dismembered body. The timestamp showed tomorrow at 7:00 a.m. On the back was a single line written in fresh blood: "Next time, remember to pick it up on time." At that moment, the red indicator light on the hallway surveillance camera suddenly went dark. I looked up. From the ventilation opening in the exact same spot, a single eye was staring straight at me. The mole at the corner of that eye was identical to mine.
