Crain McClane semblait avoir pris vie sur la photo. De son T-shirt moulant à son jean usé et ses bottes, jusqu'aux lunettes de soleil qui lui cachaient les yeux… Kelly essaya d'avaler sa salive. Une fois, deux fois. Finalement, elle abandonna et murmura d'une voix rauque : « Monsieur McClane ? » « Oui ? » Il s'arrêta pour la regarder, et Kelly ne put s'empêcher de se demander quelle était la couleur de ses yeux. Marron, peut-être ? Pour s'harmoniser avec l'acajou de ses cheveux et son teint hâlé. Ou bleus ? Un sourcil foncé se leva au-dessus de ses lunettes de soleil à verres miroirs. Une bouffée de chaleur lui monta aux joues. « Euh, Monsieur McClane… » « Nous avons déjà établi qui je suis. La question est : qui êtes-vous ? » « Je m'appelle Kelly Willson. » Il lui adressa un sourire qui fit s'emballer son cœur. Si elle avait su que sa tante allait lui confier cette mission, elle aurait porté autre chose… une armure complète, par exemple.

(Sandy Gingras) I want the sea to touch me, make me breathe the world and its whys, give me an eternal instant, which I will carry with me as an indelible memory. The sea is the mystery in which I immerse myself to rediscover my life. The sea. Cit. (Stephen Littleword) You can't be unhappy when you have this: the smell of the sea, the sand under your fingers, the air, the wind. Cit.

Pendant cinq ans, mon compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Kaël, et moi avons vécu 98 cérémonies de marquage. Et chaque fois, ses crocs s'arrêtaient juste avant de m'atteindre le cou. Tout ça parce que l'Oméga qu'il disait considérer « comme une sœur » s'évanouissait toujours au moment parfaitement choisi. Lors de la 99ᵉ cérémonie, cette Oméga s'est de nouveau « blessée ». « Je te jure que je terminerai le marquage la prochaine fois », a dit Kaël en soulevant l'autre louve dans ses bras, sans même me jeter un regard. J'ai alors brûlé la robe de Luna que j'avais portée 99 fois, puis j'ai remis ma robe royale de princesse du Royaume d'Ombrelune. Ensuite, j'ai brisé le lien du destin et je suis partie sans me retourner. Ce n'est qu'au moment où Kaël a été frappé par une douleur brûlante et qu'il m'a suppliée de revenir que le Chaman lui a dit froidement : « Elle est une vraie princesse. Et toi, tu n'as jamais été digne d'elle. »

For six years, my stepbrother Draven, the heir to a mafia family, and I have been in a secret relationship. Every night, his hands would trace every curve of my body with desperate hunger. The way he would look at me in those intimate moments made me believe I was the only woman who could ignite such passion in him. Until a month ago, when I found out I was pregnant. The day before Valentine's Day, I snuck into his study, planning to surprise him. Through the crack in the door, I heard him talking to Nico, the family's consigliere. "Aren't you tired of your little stepsister, Jasmine? The engagement is right around the corner. You haven't actually fallen for her, have you?" A cruel smirk played on his lips. "Fall for her? She was an easy target who fell right into my lap. It would've been a waste not to take a bite." "Her mother drove mine to an early grave. These six years have been her penance. And she's deserved every moment of it." "Besides, I've said it before. My wife will be Bianca Tyler, and no one else." "Marrying her secures the Tyler family's port smuggling routes. That's all that matters." So, what I thought was love was nothing more than an elaborate act of revenge. Every one of his embraces was a calculated lie. Fine. It was time for me and our unborn baby to disappear from his world completely.

Na minha vida passada, Gabriel Lacerda, meu irmão, escolheu acompanhar a amante Camila Soares para ver uma chuva de meteoros. Levou consigo todos os seguranças da casa, deixando-nos completamente vulneráveis. Naquela noite, inimigos que ele mesmo havia destruído aproveitaram a oportunidade e invadiram nossa mansão para se vingar. Minha mãe foi gravemente ferida tentando me proteger. Liguei para ele, desesperada, implorando que voltasse. Ele retornou com os seguranças, mas já era tarde demais. Embora os invasores tenham sido capturados, uma nova tragédia aconteceu: Camila havia desaparecido e deixou uma carta de suicídio. Na carta, ela me acusava de usar a situação para afastar Gabriel dela e de deixar ela sozinha, exposta à vingança dos inimigos. Gabriel queimou a carta bem na minha frente. Sem raiva, sem dor. Apenas disse: — Esquece isso. Não vale a pena. Apesar de tudo, ele foi responsabilizado. Meu pai me confiou o controle da empresa da família. Mas naquela mesma noite, durante a festa de comemoração, Gabriel entrou no meu quarto e me matou. Com o olhar frio, ele disse: — Pessoas como você já deviam estar mortas. A herança é minha por direito. Morri sem paz. E quando abri os olhos novamente… O som dos inimigos arrombando os portões ecoava do lado de fora da mansão.
