"I...I..." I tried to form words but ahis lips left my ear and trailed kisses down my neck. “I need words,” he whispered. “Tell me you hate me.” My fingers tightened on his shirt as he continued. “Say you hate me, and I’ll stop right now and walk away.” What?

“Tell me, Eleanor, do you like seeing me like this? Do you like seeing me angry with you?” he yells, banging the spot above my head. I keep my mouth shut so I don’t say the wrong thing and make him angrier. “Fucking answer me,” “N-N-N-o-o,” I stammer. “If you don't, then why don't you ever listen to me? The spanking wasn’t enough? Do you need me to unleash my beast on you before you listen to me?” he asks, and I shake my head. “Then give me a reason why I shouldn't take you across my legs right now and give you twenty lashes on each ass cheek for laughing at something Evan said,” he says, and I pause for a minute. “You shouldn't spank me because it's my right to laugh or not at what Evan said.” “You see, Eleanor, that's where you’re wrong. Only I can tell you if you can laugh or not.” “Excuse me?” I ask, looking at him confused and wondering if he’s on something. “I own your laughter, Eleanor.” “No, you don't.” “I do.

When Tessa Shoreman read Henry Jennings' cancer report, she immediately paid her hard-earned money of sixty thousand to the hospital. She had saved the money from working part-time while she was in university. However, she was worried the money was not enough, so she held back her fear as she sold a kidney to the black market to get more. As she walked to the ward door with a heavy bag filled with cash, she heard shrill laughter coming from inside. "That cheap woman, Tessa Shoreman, got tricked by us again. Haha!" Tessa's hand gave pause right when she was about to push the door open. What did he mean by saying she was tricked? Tessa looked through the glass on the door to see inside the ward. When she left, the man looked extremely weak, but he was now sitting up lazily in bed. Henry had a cigarette in his mouth, and he was blowing smoke rings nonchalantly. He did not look like a cancer patient at all. "It's been two years, and that woman still has no idea." "If she hadn't beaten Serene to first place, Henry would never have left behind his life as a rich heir and planned such an elaborate scheme to become a working-class man living in a cheap rental home. The way that cheap, penniless woman looks at Henry is so amusing." "We agreed that the punishment ends when Henry and Serene get engaged. It looks like time is almost up. We've probably punished her 108 times in the past two years." "The first time was lying to her that Henry didn't have a suit for a job interview. She worked tirelessly for 72 hours straight before she earned enough money for one, but that suit was given to the domestic help to use as a cleaning cloth. The second time was tricking her into believing Henry had a high fever. She forfeited during the finals of a scientific research competition to race home and take care of Henry in the hospital…" "Sigh. Too bad it's coming to an end. I'm going to miss entertaining myself with her."

Sweaty and calloused hands, heavy breaths, and bruises of the pasts has been what Calithea Amara Noval trying to either dodge or manage to turn down.

Les larmes qui brillent, la fierté qui se dissout. C’est encore plus beau que dans mes rêves. — Parce que je vais vous offrir un marché, dis-je en me penchant en avant, la voix devenue un murmure confidentiel et venimeux. Un seul. Prenez-le ou laissez-le. Je prends une feuille blanche, immaculée, et la pousse vers elle. —Voici mon offre : Un an à être à moi et à genoux. Elle cligne des yeux, ne comprenant pas. —Je… Je ne… — Pas comme une employée. Cela serait trop simple. Pas même comme une maîtresse. Cela serait vous faire trop d’honneur. Je marque une pause, savourant l’instant où la compréhension va la frapper de plein fouet. —Non , un an.....comme ma pute. Alessandra Le choc est si violent que j’en ai le souffle coupé. Le bureau, la ville, son visage… tout vacille. Un bruit blanc emplit ma tête. J’ai mal entendu. Je dois avoir mal entendu. — Quoi ? je souffle, la voix brisée. — Vous m’avez bien entendu, dit-il, implacable. Un an de soumission absolue. Vous serez à moi. Votre corps, votre volonté, votre dignité. Vous ferez ce que je veux, quand je le veux, comme je le veux. En échange, tous les problèmes financiers de votre frère disparaissent. Il aura les meilleurs soins. Il vivra. La nausée monte, brûlante. La rage aussi. Une rage ancienne, celle de la fille que j’étais, qui n’aurait jamais permis une telle insulte. — Vous êtes… vous êtes un monstre, je halète, me levant d’un bond, les jambes tremblantes. Un sale monstre ! Je crache. Littéralement. Un crachat plein de haine et de dégoût qui atterrit sur le marbre immaculé de son bureau . — Voilà ma réponse. Allez vous faire pendre. Je me tourne pour partir .

J'étais enceinte de quatre mois de l'héritier de l'Alpha lorsque ma meilleure amie, Adrienne, m'a percutée. Elle a prétendu qu'il s'agissait d'un « accident ». J'ai perdu le bébé. Mon frère, Guillaume, a tenté de la dénoncer aux anciens de la meute. Mais il a été accusé à tort de trahison, dépouillé de son titre de Bêta et jeté dans un cachot de la meute. Je me suis précipitée vers mon compagnon, l'Alpha Bernard, pour lui demander de l'aide. Il m'a serrée dans ses bras et m'a juré qu'il sauverait Guillaume. Le lendemain, j'ai trouvé Guillaume dans le cachot, enchaîné avec des chaînes en argent, à peine vivant. Le cœur brisé, je suis retournée voir Bernard pour trouver un moyen de prouver l'innocence de Guillaume. C'est alors que je l'ai entendu parler à son bras droit. « Alpha, si Luna découvre que vous les avez laissés piéger Guillaume... elle vous détestera. » La voix de Bernard était empreinte d'épuisement et de douleur refoulée. « Je sais comment elle est. C'était le seul moyen de lui faire pardonner Adrienne lors de la Cérémonie de la Lune de Sang. Adrienne m'a sauvé la vie. Je ne laisserai pas cela la détruire. » Il a marqué une pause, la voix complètement froide. « Quant à Sandrine... Je me rattraperai auprès d'elle. Elle ne saura jamais la vérité, jamais. Pour l'instant, elle doit simplement... obéir. » Le compagnon à qui j'avais confié ma vie... Il a jeté ma famille aux loups, tout cela pour protéger la femme qui avait tué notre enfant. Mon cœur s'est brisé. Tremblant d'une rage que je n'avais jamais connue, j'ai appelé la personne à qui je n'avais pas parlé depuis sept ans, mon père, Alpha Claude. « Père, j'accepte l'alliance stratégique, le mariage que tu souhaitais. Mais j'ai une condition. J'ai besoin de ton aide... pour réduire la Meute du Bois Noir en cendres. »
