Remarried Empress Naver

Can we coexist, William? Or is one of us eventually going to have to leave for the other to stay?" "I don't plan for anyone leaving. Not unless we're all going.," I said. "You don't plan for anything you can't control," Elias countered. He reached out, his hand hovering near the sleeve of my sweater before he actually touched it. His fingers gripped the wool, his knuckles brushing the skin of my forearm. "What happened in 2018, William?” He asked softly. “A small cottage in upstate New York. Bought and sold in six months. No profit. No record of who stayed there." I felt the blood drain from my face. My hand moved instinctively, catching his wrist, my grip tighter than I intended. "Stop digging," I hissed, my voice a low, lethal vibration. "You’re hurting me," Elias whispered, but he didn't pull away. He leaned in, his eyes wide and dark, searching mine. "Tell me what was there, Will. Tell me who you were before you married my mother." "There was nothing in the cottage." I said, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm. I released his wrist, my hand shaking as I pulled it back. "Tell your friend to stop. Now." Elias looked at his wrist, the red marks of my fingers already beginning to bloom against his pale skin. He didn't look angry. He looked... fascinated. "So you can lose control" he breathed, a slow, triumphant smile spreading across his face. "You're just a man good at maintaining it." His eyes were wide with interest. ************************** After his father's death and the mother remarried three months later, Elias is furious and out for revenge. As he digs into his stepfather's secrets,he finds some he can use against him and some that makes him confused about his feelings towards him.

The biggest mistake I had ever made was falling in love with my Alpha stepbrother, Cayden Gates. I was 12 when my mom remarried, and he was the only one in the new pack who treated me kindly. I fell for him at first sight. When I was 16, I was attacked by rogue wolves, and he fought off ten of them alone to protect me. At 18, he was poisoned by silver. He nearly died. That was when my wolf told me he was my fated mate. Without hesitation, I donated my bone marrow to save him. That night, watching him asleep with a pale face, I couldn't help but kiss the corner of his lips. He opened his eyes at that exact moment, his face flushing red. "Tessa, we're siblings. You shouldn't cross that line." From then on, he started avoiding me, like I was a mistake he couldn't afford to make. His fiancée, Rosie Lloyd, had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease, and I was the only compatible donor. For the first time, he pleaded with me. "If you're willing to save her, I'll agree to anything." But I was already weak from the marrow transplant. Giving blood again might kill me. I said no, and Rosie died in the end. He didn't shed a single tear, like nothing had happened. But at her funeral, he smashed the portrait I'd painted of him in front of everyone and said coldly, "How filthy of you to dream of being with your own brother." Later, I became a disgrace, a walking joke. Humiliation and despair swallowed me whole, and in a haze, I fell into the lake and drowned. When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment he begs me for blood. I say yes calmly. I consider it the final debt I owe the Gates family. Cayden, from now on, we're done. There are no more ties between us.

I was the person Henry Johnson, the head of the San Nello mafia, loved more than anyone else. He loved me with absolute devotion. During our three years of marriage, he spoiled me endlessly and treated me like a princess. Yet this same man, who claimed to love me so deeply, divorced me three times, each time for the sake of his childhood sweetheart. The first time, intimate photos of them at the airport went viral. That very night, he placed the divorce papers in front of me. "Selena," he said, "Melanie's father once saved my life. I can't allow her to be condemned as a homewrecker. Let's divorce for now. Once this storm passes, we'll remarry." With my heart in pieces, I signed the papers and prepared to leave. However, at the airport, Henry stopped me. He broke down in front of me and begged, "I've already taken care of the media. Melanie has gone abroad again. I've repaid everything I owed her family. Please don't leave. Let's get married again." His tearful pleas softened my resolve. That was the first time I forgave him. The second time, he came to me looking utterly worn out. "Melanie was implicated by her boyfriend and ended up in prison," he said. "I need to bail her out as her spouse. Once she's free, we'll remarry right away." I believed him. That time, he kept his promise. He returned and remarried me. The third time, he lowered his head and hesitated, unable to look me in the eye. "Melanie is about to give birth," he said. "An unwed pregnancy would destroy her modeling career. I have to help her. This will be the last time. Once the child is settled, we'll remarry. I promise this will never happen again." I looked at him for a long time. In the end, I answered softly, "Okay." However, on the day we were meant to register our marriage again, I never appeared. Any love I still had was worn away bit by bit. In the end, I left for good, taking with me not only a broken heart, but also the unborn heir he would never know.

Trois ans de mariage. Pendant tout ce temps, Alex Dubois ne l'avait vue que deux fois par mois. Deux nuits sans chaleur, réduites à un simple accomplissement du devoir conjugal. Il ne s'était jamais soucié d'elle. Il ne savait rien d'elle. Jusqu'à ce que la date fixée par leur contrat arrive. Il s'était empressé de retrouver celle qu'il croyait être son amour de toujours. Mais elle lui a tourné le dos, lâchant une phrase succincte : « Alex Dubois, divorçons. Je te rends ta liberté. » À partir de là, elle n'attendait plus rien de lui. Elle avait renoncé à leur foyer, repris sa carrière, et retrouvé son éclat. Lorsqu'elle était remontée au sommet, il n'y avait plus de place pour lui à ses côtés. Mais lui, il s'était laissé charmer par son talent, encore et encore. Et ce n'est qu'au moment où elle s'était définitivement éloignée, hors de sa portée, qu'il avait appris la vérité. Cette femme qu'il avait repoussée, ignorée, oubliée à deux reprises, toutefois, c'était elle qui, sans jamais hésiter, avait tout quitté pour rester à ses côtés, simplement pour lui rendre une dette qu'elle n'avait jamais oubliée. Il avait regretté, mais il était déjà trop tard. Car entre-temps, elle était devenue une femme tellement exceptionnelle que plus personne n'osait approcher. Inaccessible. Inégalable. Intouchable. Il avait voulu rattraper le passé, la reconquérir. Mais la réponse qu'on lui donnait avait été cinglante : « Madame ne veut plus être la femme du milliardaire. » Alors cette fois, les rôles allaient s'inverser. Et lui, il n'allait plus reculer devant rien.

Après la grande guerre entre les trois clans, les Humains, les Dragons et les Loups, les clans des Dragons et des Loups ont été frappés par une malédiction. Les descendants de sang pur des deux clans ne pouvaient plus hériter de la totalité de leur puissance. Afin de transmettre le pouvoir de leur lignée, les rois de chaque génération du clan des Dragons et des Loups devaient s'unir à une femme humaine possédant des Bénédictions. Le clan qui donnait naissance en premier à un enfant de sang mêlé obtenait le droit de gouverner les trois clans pendant cent ans. Dans ma vie passée, j'ai épousé le roi des Loups d'Argent, Silas Hector, un homme connu pour son allure de parfait gentleman. Un an après notre mariage, j'ai donné naissance à un enfant à moitié loup. Il a hérité de toute la puissance de sa lignée, et Silas est devenu le souverain des trois clans. Les Loups ont régné sur le monde pendant cent ans. Ma sœur, Lucia, s'est éprise du somptueux Dragon d'Argent. Elle a épousé leur roi, mais les Dragons étaient arrogants et imprévisibles. Dans un accès de rage insensée, son mari a blessé son ventre et provoqué une fausse couche. Lucia est devenue stérile à partir de ce jour. Dévorée par la jalousie à mon égard, Lucia a fini par perdre la raison, et elle m'a poignardée à mort lors d'une réunion familiale. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue à la veille du mariage organisé par les trois clans. Lucia s'est empressée d'entrer dans la chambre du roi des Loups d'Argent, Silas, et de coucher avec lui. Elle aussi avait renaît. Cependant, elle ignorait une chose essentielle : Silas était un loup au sang froid, qui prenait plaisir à torturer les Humains faibles.
