Sa araw, siya ang mahinhin at maparaan na chief secretary, at sa gabi, siya ang malambot at charming na kapares sa kama. Paglipas ng tatlong taon ng mutual support, akala niya ay minahal siya nito. Nagpropose siya sa binata, ngunit narinig niya ang sinabi nito: "Ito ay laro lamang na kasali ang katawan pero hindi ang puso. Sa tingin mo seseryosohin ko to?" Sobra siyang nasaktan at lumingon paalis. Simula non, ang buhay niya ay umangat, umangat din siya sa career, at naging gold medal lawyer na walang sino mang nangahas sa legal community. Merong hindi mabilang na manliligaw sa paligid niya. Pinagsisihan iyon ng binata at tinulak siya sa dingding na may namumugtong mata: "Ang katawan ko, ang buhay ko, lahat ay sayo, will you marry me?" Maliwanag ang mga ngiti niya: "Pasensya na, gumilid ka, hinaharangan mo ang panibagong buhay ko."

« Compagne ! » Mes yeux se sont presque échappés de leur orbite lorsque je me suis brusquement redressée pour regarder l'homme qui était visiblement le roi. Ses yeux étaient bloqués sur les miens alors qu'il se rapprochait très vite. Oh non ! Voilà pourquoi je le trouvais familier : c'était le même homme que j'avais heurté il y a peu de temps. Et celui qui avait prétendu que j'étais sa compagne … Oh... PUTAIN ! Cinq ans après la chute du monde que nous connaissions, nous célébrons cet anniversaire dans un futur dystopique. Les lycanthropes, des créatures surnaturelles, ont pris le contrôle et rien ne sera plus comme avant. Les villes sont divisées en deux districts : le district humain et celui des loups. Les humains, réduits au statut de minorité, doivent une obéissance sans faille aux Lycans. Toute désobéissance à ces nouvelles règles est sévèrement punie en public. Pour Dylan, une jeune fille de dix-sept ans, la vie dans ce nouveau monde est un véritable cauchemar. Agée de douze ans lors de la prise de pouvoir des loups, elle a été à la fois témoin et victime de ces punitions. Depuis que les loups dominent le monde, être la compagne d'un d'entre eux est l'une des pires choses qui puissent arriver. Alors, que se passe-t-il lorsqu'elle découvre non seulement qu'elle est la compagne d'un lycan, mais que ce lycan est le plus célèbre et le plus brutal de tous ? Suivez les aventures de Dylan sur son chemin parsemé d'obstacles, combattant la vie, l'amour et la perte. Une nouvelle vision de l'histoire des loups. J'espère que vous apprécierez la lecture.
