Robert Charles Chien

I was feeding my seven-year-old daughter, Lucy Langer, when Robert Langer crashed through the front door, reeking of alcohol. His shirt collar hung askew, and red marks blazed across his neck. "Audrey," he said hoarsely, "someone spiked my drink at the charity gala. But don't worry. I've already had my lawyer handle it." I nodded. After so many years of marriage, I knew he only had eyes for me and our daughter. He never strayed. Or so I believed… until eight months later. While Robert was away on a business trip, his cruise ship caught fire. The news dominated every channel. Clutching a sobbing Lucy, I rushed to the hospital, only to find him swathed in bandages, standing outside the maternity ward. "Becca is pregnant," he murmured. "It was that night at the gala… I didn't think it would happen from just once…" He gulped. "When the fire spread, she saved me. But she… got trapped herself." A newborn's wail pierced the corridor as the delivery room doors opened. Becca White was wheeled out, looking pale and exhausted. She clutched my sleeve and pleaded desperately, "Audrey… my babies can't grow up without a father…"

Being in a dungeon, dominated by men, and treated like a slave drove me up the wall. I was furious and could literally kill them all if I got the chance. He was mistaken when he kidnapped me.

"You may be an Alpha, but I am your Beta, and what you just did endanger the whole pack. You don't fucking learn from your mistakes, do you?" he growled while rubbing his temples.

I used to be the most promising composer of my generation. But while I was working on my latest piece, my husband Charles Lambert's childhood friend destroyed everything I had. She slashed my face, stole my compositions, and set fire to my house—leaving me to burn alive alongside the kitten I'd just adopted. Then, as if my death were just a spark for her success, she posted my compositions online, claiming I'd plagiarized her. And people believed her. Everyone did. Strangers on the internet sneered and spat my name, and my own husband, Charles, chose to believe her over me. Even the International Musical Society rescinded my award and handed it to her without a second thought. My students, who once followed me loyally, were now fawning over her. I became the laughingstock of the entire internet—mocked, discredited, erased. It wasn't until a week later, when someone stumbled upon the charred remains of my lakeside studio, that they found what was left of me.

L'année de mes dix-huit ans, le Haut-Roi a convoqué les héritiers des quatre grands clans, vampires, loups-garous, dragons et sirènes, et a étalé leurs portraits devant moi, m'ordonnant d'en choisir un pour une alliance matrimoniale. Sans hésitation, j'ai pointé du doigt le plus obscur d'entre eux : Mathéo Dimont, un loup-garou des terres frontalières. La cour a retenu son souffle, car tous savaient que mon cœur avait longtemps appartenu à Iris, l'Alpha au sang royal le plus pur. Pendant sept ans, je l'avais suivi comme un chien fidèle, supportant son indifférence, déclarant publiquement mon amour, allant jusqu'à sceller un pacte avec mon propre sang pour l'épouser. Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais obtenu ce mariage. Et grâce à moi, il avait hérité des ressources du Haut-Roi, devenant le souverain des quatre clans. Mais il m'avait trahie en marquant secrètement Ruby, la fille adoptive de mes parents. Furieux, ceux-ci l'ont envoyée étudier dans une meute lointaine. À partir de ce jour, Iris me haïssait viscéralement. Ses maîtresses s'étaient multipliées, chacune ressemblant étrangement à ma sœur adoptive. Il les laissait m'humilier en public, transformant peu à peu ma position de reine en sinistre farce. La dépression m'avait rongée. Je ne maintenais ma forme de louve qu'à coup d'inhibiteurs. Jusqu'au jour où il avait remplacé lui-même mes médicaments par un poison lent. J'étais morte dans une grotte glacée, portant en moi notre enfant jamais né. Revenue à la vie, j'avais perdu mes illusions. Quand le Haut-Roi m'a fait à nouveau choisir, mon doigt s'est posé sur Mathéo. J'ai cru échapper au cauchemar... jusqu'à ce qu'Iris perde la raison en apprenant nos fiançailles...

Le soir de notre neuvième anniversaire de mariage, mon mari Rémy, l'homme qui dirigeait la famille mafieuse le jour et faisait palpiter mon cœur la nuit, ne m'a pas offert de roses. Il les a données à Lise, son assistante personnelle. Sous le lustre où nous avions dansé en tant que jeunes mariés, il s'est tourné vers moi avec le charme qu'il avait autrefois lorsqu'il me murmurait son amour à l'oreille, la voix glacée. « Elle est enceinte », a-t-il dit, comme si cela expliquait tout, « et elle est difficile en ce qui concerne la nourriture. A partir de maintenant, tu devras lui préparer trois repas, sans répétition. » « Elle est sensible et n'aime pas dormir seule, alors tu devras mettre tes affaires dans la chambre d'amis. » La pièce était silencieuse. Je n'ai pas crié, je n'ai pas pleuré, j'ai juste pris ma valise et je me suis dirigée vers la porte. Le majordome a essayé de m'arrêter, et Rémy n'a même pas sourcillé. « Elle reviendra », a-t-il dit en secouant paresseusement son verre de vin rouge, « et dans trois jours, elle pleurera tout en me suppliant. » Les invités ont éclaté de rire. Ils ont parié un million d'euros devant moi. Ils pariaient pour savoir si j'allais supplier Rémy de me laisser entrer avant demain matin, comme un chien errant sans dignité. Mais ils ne savaient pas que j'avais déjà reçu le jeton de famille de mon vrai père et que j'avais réservé mon vol de départ. Cette fois, je partirais vraiment.
