Rival-chan

Pour notre septième anniversaire, mon compagnon, l'Alpha Ethan, a envoyé ma fille et moi à l'Autel de la Déesse de la Lune. Il m'a dit que c'était une surprise, pour offrir à notre fille son rêve d'observer une pluie de météores depuis le plus haut sommet du territoire. Mais Ethan n'est jamais venu. Les runes protectrices à mes pieds ont crépité, puis se sont éteintes. Le sol sous nos pieds a commencé à s'effriter. Ma fille a hurlé, son petit corps glissant vers l'abîme. Je me suis précipitée, attrapant sa main juste avant qu'elle ne bascule dans le vide. J'ai hurlé le nom d'Ethan à travers notre lien mental. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf fois, il a refusé de répondre. À mon centième appel, le lien ne s'est pas simplement ouvert, il a été déchiré violemment. Ce n'a pas été sa voix qui a répondu. Ce sont ses sensations qui envahissent les miennes. J'ai tout vu. Lui. Une autre louve. Et lui, profondément enfoui en elle. « Je savais que tu m'aimais, Ethan, » a roucoulé sa voix doucereuse. « Tu as même sacrifié Marcus, juste pour sauver notre Leo de la maladie de l'âme. Je ferai n'importe quoi pour toi. » La voix d'Ethan était velours et glace. « Arrête. Si Sera ne m'avait pas trahi, tu n'aurais jamais eu la chance de porter mon héritier. Une fois que je me serai débarrassé de son autre rejeton, le bâtard de Julian, nous pourrons à nouveau être parfaits. » Mon monde s'est effondré. Mon fils… Les renégats. J'avais toujours cru que des renégats l'avaient enlevé. Mais c'était son propre père. Il l'avait sacrifié pour un mensonge. Avec ma dernière once de force, j'ai appelé Julian. « Je romps mon lien avec Ethan, » ai-je grondé dans le nouveau lien. « Fais de moi ta Luna. En échange, je t'aiderai à réduire sa meute en cendres. »​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The Blood Moon was supposed to unite them. Instead, it turned her into prey. Tricia Thorne was rejected, humiliated, and cast aside by the Alpha who once claimed her under ancient law. But when she stumbles into the territory of his greatest rival, fate twists again. Alpha Tristan doesn’t offer mercy. He offers a mark. Now bound to two powerful Alphas, her body becomes a battlefield. Her heart refuses to choose. And her secret pregnancy threatens to ignite a war neither pack can survive. Two Alphas. One rejected Luna. A mark that could either kill her… or crown her.

Scarlet’s world shattered the night she discovered her husband in her bed with her own sister. The betrayal was brutal. The humiliation, unforgivable. And what hurt the most? Neither of them felt a single ounce of remorse. Within months, her husband divorced her and married the very woman who helped destroy her life, her sister. They thought she would break. They thought she would disappear quietly. They were wrong. Ryan Marchetti—cold, calculating, and dangerously powerful, has spent years waiting for the perfect chance to destroy his business rival. Marrying that rival’s ex-wife is the ultimate move. Strategic. For Scarlet, marrying Ryan isn’t about love. It’s about revenge. A calculated alliance. A public statement. A promise that she will rise from the ashes they left her in. Together, they become the scandal that shakes empires. But revenge is never simple. Because behind Ryan’s icy control lies a secret, one tied to her past, to her ex-husband, to the very marriage that ruined her life. A truth so explosive it could unravel everything she thought she knew. Was she just a pawn in Ryan’s war from the very beginning? Or is the man she’s slowly falling for capable of betraying her too? In a game fueled by vengeance, power, and buried truths, Scarlet must decide: Will she let betrayal destroy her again… Or will she risk her heart for the one man who might truly love her?

Charlotte devoted six years to being the perfect wife and the efficient secretary—loyal, and the quiet force behind Drake Watson’s corporate empire. She sacrificed her career, her dreams, and even her dignity. But when betrayal shattered her world, she lost everything, including the child she never got to hold, the moment her husband’s mistress, Mia, returned from Paris. After a devastating loss, Charlotte finally resigns, files for divorce, and walks away from Drake. Drake believed losing her was just an inconvenience until she returned, not as his wife, but as his worst nightmare. Now a powerful CEO in her own right, she’s no longer the obedient secretary who lived in his shadow. She’s his rival, and the one woman he can’t afford to underestimate. But what happens when the woman he cast aside becomes the storm that could bring him down, not just in business, but in the one place that will hurt him the most… his heart. Drake isn’t the man she thought he was. As she rises in the corporate world, he fights to pull her back into his arms. But can she trust the man who once shattered her? And will revenge be enough… when love still burns between them?

Warning: Mature content involved. They say love can heal all wounds. I learned it was the first lie. I married Damian Reeve, believing in us, believing in hope, only to find I was nothing more than a tool…a vessel for his heirs, a pawn in a game I never agreed to play. Betrayed by the man I trusted, abandoned by my own family, and humiliated by the woman I thought was my friend, as if that wasn't enough I was diagnosed with a killer disease–congnitive identity regression disorder. (CIRD) But just when I thought I could start over, Damian , West and other Alphas alongside Enigmas came and they brought along troubles with them. What was this life going to be like now?

NOEL DIDN’T JUST KISS ME, HE TRAPPED ME. AND AS I STARE AT THE FILE, I REALIZE THE 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS JUST BECAME A COUNTDOWN TO MY OWN PERSONAL DISASTER. When Anahera Kallio agreed to take on a high-profile client during the holidays, she never expected it to be Noel Rautio—the scorching-hot hockey star who is her brother’s sworn enemy on the ice. One stolen kiss under the mistletoe was bad enough, but now he’s got her cornered with a secret recording and a devilish ultimatum: stick with his therapy sessions or watch her career go up in flames. As the 12 Days of Christmas tick by, every heated session pulls them deeper into forbidden territory. Noel’s walls are cracking, Anahera’s resolve is melting, and the line between professional and passionate blurs into chaos. But with loyalties to her brother, hidden scandals and a ticking clock threatening to expose everything, this holiday fling could shatter more than just the ice. Unless they rewrite the rules and turn disaster into desire. Will Anahera escape Noel’s trap…or surrender to the ultimate holiday score?

He rejected her once… left her humiliated and unseen. Summer came, and she returned unrecognizable—confident, beautiful, unstoppable. Now Hades Deville—the rival, the playboy—sees her and claims her as his mate. Can she survive being desired by the boy she never expected… and the one who once let her go?

—Su matrimonio era un recuerdo de cincuenta dólares, señorita Vance. Y su esposo ya estaba casado con otra persona. En un solo instante, en la oficina de inmigración, mi vida como esposa de la superestrella de la NHL, Liam Sterling, se evaporó. Nuestra boda secreta en Las Vegas había sido un fraude, y Liam ya estaba legalmente casado con su "representante", Sophia. Pero la crueldad no terminó ahí. Liam esperaba que yo adoptara al "huérfano de un héroe de guerra", un niño que en realidad era el hijo secreto de Sophia y él. No quería una esposa. Quería a una doctora de equipo de clase mundial para salvar su carrera y a una niñera gratis para criar al hijo de su verdadera esposa. Liam cometió un error fatal: olvidó que yo era la única que podía mantenerlo en el hielo. Firmé un contrato récord con los Titans, sus rivales más fuertes. Mientras la rodilla de Liam se hacía pedazos durante los playoffs, yo estaba en el banquillo del enemigo, sanando al único hombre que podía destruirlo. ¿Él quería una niñera? Estaba segura de que tendría su peor pesadilla.

"If I can cheat, so can you. It’s an open marriage, babe. Get used to it." Those were the words my husband spat at me after I caught him with his third assistant this year. So, I took his advice. He thought he could break me. After ten years of his "open marriage" demands and revolving door of mistresses, I decided to play his game. So, I bought a man. A cold, nameless call boy to help me settle the score. I left $5,000 on the nightstand and slipped away before dawn, finally feeling even. Until I missed my period. Two hours after that, my husband dragged me to his firm's annual gala to meet the new CEO; the man who holds my husband's entire career in his hands. My heart stopped. Standing there in a $10,000 suit, looking like a lethal god, was my "call boy." Julian Vane isn't a sex worker. He’s the most powerful man in the state, my husband’s biggest rival, and... he’s the father of my baby.
