"You're an average" Nathan spat out angrily. "You're not half as sexy or pretty like most girls I know so why the fuck am I attracted to you?" I clearly understood the anger behind Nathan's tone. This was wrong. WE were wrong. I mean, we're supposed to be step-siblings so why did this feeling of lust linger between us.

"Fine, then let's have sex" *** Abigail Esquire Maya is the your typical school nerd.

After spending a passionate night with her groom, she wakes up to find that he wasn’t who she thought he was.

Prologue La nuit tombait sur la vieille demeure des Smith, drapant ses murs austères d’une ombre épaisse. Le vent murmurait entre les branches des arbres centenaires, comme s’il portait les échos d’un passé que tous avaient préféré oublier. Il y a bien des années, alors que la fortune des Smith était encore fragile, un pacte avait été scellé dans le plus grand secret. Deux patriarches, liés par une dette de sang et d’honneur, avaient échangé une promesse : un jour, leurs lignées s’uniraient par le mariage. Mais avec le temps, la prospérité des Smith avait grandi, tandis que celle des Anthony s’était effritée. Et lorsque Levy Anthony, le dernier héritier d’un nom autrefois puissant, avait hérité de ruines, les Smith avaient feint d’ignorer l’existence de cet accord. Pourtant, les mots tracés sur ce vieux parchemin n’avaient jamais perdu leur pouvoir. Dans l’ombre, une jeune femme aux yeux froids observait. Sandra, la méprisée, l’invisible. Celle qu’on avait reléguée aux marges de la famille, comme si son sang était moins noble. Elle savait ce qu’ils ignoraient : un pacte ne meurt jamais. Il sommeille, attendant son heure. Et cette heure venait de sonner. Lorsque les Anthony franchirent le seuil de la maison Smith, ce ne fut pas en suppliants, mais en créanciers. Leur présence réveilla une vérité que les Smith avaient enfouie : on ne rompt pas impunément une promesse faite aux morts. Et alors que les voix s’élevaient, que les accusations fusaient, Sandra se tenait immobile, un sourire glacé aux lèvres. Car elle, l’oubliée, allait devenir leur seul salut.

A self-made billionaire with no allegiance to blood or bullets, Lucien becomes the pawn in a deadly marriage contract—one that ties him to a woman he’s never met but already loathes. Zara doesn’t want a husband. She wants a pet. A toy. A man she can dominate. Lucien isn’t used to bowing. But this time, saying “no” means death. Thrown into a marriage forged by blood and greed, the two clash like fire and ice. Zara pushes. Lucien resists. But behind every fight is a heat they can’t escape—and a twisted attraction that might just destroy them both. Zara doesn’t believe in love. She believes in control. And now, she owns a man who refuses to break. “You don’t have to love me, Lucien.

"Is this just a game to you?" Aaron's eyes were blazing with fire. He was attempting to keep his wolf under control. I should've been terrified, but I wasn't. "You tell me..." I smacked my lips together, pretending his anger didn't bother me at all. "You're confusing me." A growl revibrated from his chest, as his hands coiled into fists. He was ready to walk away when I held my palm against his chest. His eyes delved deep into mine and I could see his desire growing.  "You can have any female you want, and yet here you are, chasing after me when you know exactly that I don't like you." My finger trailed down from his nose to his mouth, brushing his soft lips gently. "Am I a challenge you're trying to win? Because you know I am someone you can't have? Off-limits? Your Alpha's sister?" I could feel his body reacting to my touch, and it was all I ever wanted.  I wanted him to fall hard for me. In the same way that I was falling for him. ***** Book 3 of the Black Shadow Pack Series - While the story is stand-alone, I highly recommend that you read the first and second books in the series to gain a better understanding of the characters and the concept of The Claiming.

Prologue 🖤 Ulric Ulric est l’ombre dans la lumière, l’homme qu’on craint autant qu’on désire. Il porte la colère dans les veines et l’amour dans les silences. Il est brutal, possessif, jaloux — mais loyal. Son regard transperce, sa voix impose. Il aime comme il vit : avec excès, sans retour en arrière. Quand il aime Julianne, il devient vulnérable, presque humain. Il tuerait pour elle, mais il ne sait pas toujours l’aimer sans la blesser. Ulric est un roi maudit, perdu entre son trône de sang et sa soif d’amour pur. --- 🌺 Julianne Julianne est une rose élevée parmi les épines. Douce en apparence, mais imprévisible quand on la trahit. Elle a été donnée à un homme, Ulric, comme une offrande — mais elle s’est transformée en feu sacré. Mère, femme, amante, stratège... Julianne porte tout à la fois. Elle a souffert, beaucoup. Mais elle n’a jamais abandonné son cœur. Elle aime avec dignité, se défend avec fierté, et rêve encore malgré les cicatrices. Elle est le secret d’Ulric, sa lumière, son châtiment et son salut. --- 💔 Leur amour L’amour entre Ulric et Julianne est un champ de bataille parfumé. Rien n’est simple. Rien n’est doux. C’est un amour de coups d’éclat, de silence lourd, de cris dans la nuit et de promesses non dites. Ils s’aiment comme deux flammes rivales : attirées, consumées, ravagées. Ils ne savent pas vivre ensemble sans se heurter, mais ne savent pas exister l’un sans l’autre. Leur amour est maudit, mais sacré. Il est à la fois poison et remède. Ce n’est pas un conte de fées — c’est une guerre sainte entre deux âmes trop fortes pour renoncer.

The day my brother, Chester Rodney, came to the orphanage to take me home, my boyfriend Dominic Huxley looked at me coldly and said, "If you choose to acknowledge your birth family, we're over." I knew he had his pride—he could never accept the difference in our social standing. So, for him, I turned my back on the family I had yearned for my whole life. In the decades that followed, I toiled without complaint, saving every cent to help him rise to success. By the time I was not yet fifty, overwork had worn me down. Lying on my deathbed, my breathing shallow and weak, I watched Dominic on television. He was now an acclaimed scientist, just awarded the nation's highest research honor. Tears welled in his eyes as he thanked another woman. "All these years," he said, "I never felt worthy of Alicia. But now, maybe I can use this award as the prologue to a love I've owed her for decades." The "Alicia" he spoke of was the woman mistakenly switched with me at birth—the false heiress the Rodney family raised as their own. The camera zoomed out. Alicia Rodney stood radiant, graceful, and perfectly preserved by years of luxury, blushing as she accepted the trophy. "I waited for you for decades," she said sweetly, "but marriage is still something I'll need to ask my brother about." Chester, who had long taken over the family, looked at her with an indulgent tenderness tinged with something unspoken. "I was adopted by our uncle back then for one reason—to protect Alicia. Making the only princess of the Rodney family happy has always been my life's mission." Only then did I realize—everything I thought I had chosen freely, every sacrifice I made without regret, was nothing but a trap, carefully woven by two men, all for Alicia. The betrayal pierced my heart. I died without peace. But when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the very day Chester came to take me home from the orphanage. I glanced past the two men eyeing me with subtle disdain. Without hesitation, I stepped into the car. "Take me home," I said. This time, I'd send whoever stole my life back to the gutter they slithered from.
