Ruby Anne With An E

Aku mengutuk tempat ini penuh dengan malapetaka. Tanah akan basah dengan darah. Sungai akan penuh warna merah. Udara akan berbau bangkai. Jeritan para pengkhianat akan terdengar. Kau akan memilih membunuh dirimu sendiri daripada tercekik dengan ketakutan. Hingga garis keturunanku mengambil haknya, kau akan terus takut dengan takdir. NOTE! Cover by Pinterest Edit by Canva

They called her the weakest wolf. The runt, the reject. The girl with a wolf too small to ever fight. But when Jolie Rys runs away from her pack, fate delivers her into the arms of Ryder Kane, the ruthless alpha of the Iron Fang biker wolves. Ryder is everything she's been taught to fear: leather-clad, ink-stained, and dangerous enough to kill without hesitation. Yet his wolf claims her the second their eyes meet. His pack wants strength, and she is anything but strong. Still, Ryder refuses to let her go. In a world where wolves live and die by power, can the weakest wolf become the mate of the most feared alpha alive? Or will Ryder's enemies destroy her before she learns the truth about her own hidden strength? One thing is certain: once Ryder calls her his, no one touches her and lives.

Zoé Bennett ne voulait qu'une seule chose : se venger de son ex. Après avoir été humiliée et laissée devant l'autel, tout ce qu'elle désirait, c'était faire son entrée dans cette salle de bal en femme fatale, au bras d'un cavalier parfait. Mais comment son gigolo engagé pour l'occasion avait-il pu se révéler être… un milliardaire ? Devant elle se tenait Christian Kensington, PDG terriblement séduisant et follement arrogant du Domaine Kensington, l'un des hommes les plus riches du pays. À cet instant précis, Zoé avait eu l'impression que le sol se dérobait sous ses pieds. Pas de problème ? Si, il y en avait un. Et pas qu'un seul. Tout l'internet croyait désormais qu'ils formaient un couple. Et le plus gros souci dans tout ça ? Le grand-père de Christian y croyait lui aussi. Désormais, Christian devait entretenir le mensonge s'il voulait hériter de l'entreprise familiale. Zoé, elle, ne voulait qu'une chose : sortir de cette situation sans se faire poursuivre. Mais à mesure que la frontière entre mensonge et réalité s'estompait, elle sentait le piège le plus redoutable se refermer sur elle : retomber amoureuse. « On m'a déjà laissée tomber, Christian. Je ne referai pas la même erreur. » « Qui t'a dit que cette fois, tu serais la seule à perdre ? » Une comédie romantique pleine de rebondissements, de secrets bien enfouis et d'un désir impossible à ignorer. Zoé trouvera-t-elle le courage d'ouvrir à nouveau son cœur ?

"His lips traced the curve of her neck, searing fire into her skin as his hands roamed, claiming every inch of her. Selene gasped, arching into him, her nails raking down his back. “Say it,” Ryker growled against her throat, his breath ragged, his body demanding. “Say you belong to me.” But she wasn’t just his. She was power itself. And tonight, she would show him exactly why." A strikingly beautiful and powerful Alpha, she was raised to lead her pack with strength and wisdom. But on the night of her ascension, she was shattered. Her fated mate—the one destined to stand beside her—rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. And in that moment, Selene broke. Or maybe… something awakened. As the humiliation settles like poison in her veins, Selene discovers a truth long buried—she is Moonborn, the child of an ancient prophecy. With power that eclipses even the strongest Alphas, she is meant to rule not just her pack, but all packs.. Then there’s him. Ryker—a rogue wolf with a past carved in blood. He steps into her territory like a storm, bringing with him danger, temptation, and secrets as deadly as her own. Their attraction is instant. Catastrophic. And though she fights it, Ryker is the one who stirs her deepest desires. But is he her salvation? Or her downfall? Betrayal lurks within her own pack. An enemy from the shadows seeks to claim her throne. The council of elders wants her power erased. And when Ryker’s true agenda is revealed, Selene is faced with the most devastating heartbreak of all. But she is no longer the broken Alpha. A story of rejection, seduction, and the rise of a ruler who will not be tamed. The Lunar Queen is coming. And she bows to no one.

And the girl he threw away? She's become the most dangerous player in the league.

And sometimes, the mate you reject is the only one who can save you.

Pour Alexie, cette soirée n’aurait dû être qu’un moment léger entre amis. Jusqu’à ce qu’un défi insensé soit lancé : séduire un parfait inconnu… en une semaine. Elle accepte par fierté. Juste un jeu. Rien de sérieux. Mais lorsque son regard croise celui d’Ethan, tout bascule. Il ne cherche pas à plaire. Il ne sourit pas. Il observe. Avec une intensité qui semble dévorer chaque défense qu’elle tente d’ériger. Chaque geste, chaque regard volé, chaque proximité forcée devient une nouvelle épreuve. Alexie se découvre vulnérable face à un homme qui ne laisse rien transparaître… et qui réveille en elle des sentiments qu’elle croyait bien enterrés. Ce pari devait être facile. Ce n’était qu’une plaisanterie. Pourtant, plus elle s’approche de lui, plus elle sent que le danger n’est pas dans la séduction… Il est dans ce qu’elle pourrait perdre : son cœur. Un pari. Un inconnu. Un lent embrasement qui pourrait les brûler tous les deux.

No dia do meu casamento, meu noivo e minha irmã, Celeste Paiva, foram flagrados juntos na sala de descanso, em um momento íntimo. Eu me tornei motivo de chacota para todos. Foi então que meu amigo de infância, Ivan Siqueira, ajoelhou-se diante de todos e me pediu em casamento, protegendo-me de maneira grandiosa. Após o casamento, ele foi totalmente atencioso comigo. Infelizmente, ele não conseguia corresponder às expectativas na intimidade. Nossa vida sexual nunca foi harmoniosa. Somente neste ano, depois de recorrer à fertilização in vitro, consegui finalmente engravidar. Depois disso, Ivan tornou-se ainda mais cuidadoso comigo. Eu acreditava que ele era, enfim, o meu destino. Até o dia em que escutei sua conversa com um amigo. — Ivan, você foi cruel demais. Bárbara faz tudo por você, como consegue trocar os óvulos dela para que Bárbara seja barriga de aluguel só porque Celeste tem medo da dor do parto? — Além disso, faltam apenas dois meses para o nascimento do bebê. O que você pretende fazer depois? Ivan ficou em silêncio por um instante e suspirou. — Depois que o bebê nascer, vou entregá-lo para Celeste, realizando o maior desejo dela. — Quanto à Bárbara, direi que perdemos a criança. — E então, vou passar o resto da vida ao lado dela. "Era isso, então." "Todo o cuidado e carinho que recebi, tinham um único propósito: ela." Dei meia-volta e marquei uma cirurgia. Esta criança manchada, eu, Bárbara Paiva, não a queria mais. E essa falsa união, menos ainda.
