Plaudite Acta Est Fabula

The fifth year of my marriage to Silas marked a turning point I would never forget. Our son, Yael, was kidnapped. The ransom was set at ten million dollars, an insignificant amount for Silas, yet his response chilled me to the core. “No rush. A Gardner needs to experience some hardships to grow.” Ten million meant nothing to him, but Yael’s life meant everything to me. I dropped to my knees, tears streaming down my face, and begged him relentlessly, pleading for Yael to be brought home as soon as possible. Silas, however, remained unmoved. Three days later, Yael was returned to us, but the cheerful boy I knew was gone. He had been so traumatized that he could not speak. Far from showing concern, Silas coldly remarked, “Yuna said Yael keeps telling everyone at school she’s a fatherless child. Let’s see how he spreads lies now.” His words cut through me like a knife. I picked Yael up in my arms and whispered softly in his ear, “Don’t be afraid, Yael. Mommy will take you away from here.”

Seven years ago, Selene Ocean was framed and forced out of the world of elite marine research. She lost her career, her future, and the man she once loved—Ethan North, the proud corporate heir who believed the lie that broke her. Now she returns, not as a victim, but as the brilliant founder of the global marine conservation initiative, Heart of the Deep.

When the truth is revealed, Ethan collapses under the weight of his regret—but Selene’s heart is no longer his to claim. With the dangerous and manipulative Veronica Shaw closing in, the storm around Selene only grows stronger. In this story of betrayal, resilience, and redemption, one truth stands firm: The past cannot drown a woman who has learned to rise from the depths.

La veille de notre cérémonie, Asher, mon futur compagne Alpha, prend son amour d'enfance, Séléna, dans ses bras. « Si je ne peux pas être avec une fille aussi bonne que Séléna, », dit-il, « je pense que je vais le regretter toute ma vie. » « Ella, laisse-nous juste une nuit. Après cette nuit, je te serai fidèle à vie. Tu seras la Luna irremplaçable de la meute du Pin d'Argent. » Je le fixe pendant un moment, voyant qu'il est sérieux, je hoche la tête pour approuver sa décision. Il prend Séléna dans ses bras et tous les deux s'en vont dans la forêt. Quand il passe à côté de moi, il sourit en coin. « Ce soir, Ella, tu es libre d'être avec un autre loup, toi aussi. Je ne t'en tiendrai pas compte. » « Pas besoin de chercher trop loin. », je lui réponds d'un ton calme avant d'aller en direction d'une silhouette qui m'attend dans l'ombre. Lucas, l'Alpha de la meute de la Pierre Noire, notre meute rivale... et mon premier amour avec qui ça n'a pas marché avant même que les choses ne commencent. « Alpha Lucas. », je murmure en croisant son regard intense. « Ce soir, fais en sorte que je devienne la tienne... s'il te plaît. »

Como única filha do rei do jogo, nasci e cresci em meio ao perigo e à violência. Para me proteger, meu pai treinou, desde a minha infância, nove homens dispostos a dar a vida por mim. Quando atingi a maioridade, ele exigiu que eu escolhesse um deles para ser meu noivo. Ainda assim, me afastei sem hesitar de Bernardo Duarte, por quem estava apaixonada há anos. Na minha vida passada, fui sequestrada por inimigos no dia do meu noivado, quando pregos de aço embebidos em veneno atravessaram as palmas das minhas mãos. Disquei para ele pedindo ajuda, com as mãos tremendo, mas o que recebi foi apenas sua voz fria: — Amanda, pare com essas encenações ridículas. Sua localização mostra claramente que você ainda está na suíte do hotel! Só para me ter só para você, você é capaz de inventar um drama nojento desses? Ao fundo, o riso suave de uma mulher ecoava pelo telefone. Desesperada, fechei os olhos. Quando a gaiola de ferro afundou no mar e a água gelada invadiu minhas narinas e minha garganta, minha vida se apagou por completo. Ao abrir os olhos novamente, voltei ao dia em que meu pai me mandou escolher um noivo. Desta vez, fui direta: risquei o nome de Bernardo da lista logo de início. Mas então... Por que, no meu noivado com Felipe Borges, ele apareceu chorando, implorando para que eu me casasse com ele?

In front of the entire pack, he publicly rejects and humiliates her, then marks another she-wolf as his chosen Luna to solidify his disgust. But Kai made one fatal mistake: underestimating Elara.
