In a world ravaged by global nuclear fallout, I struggled to survive alongside my fragile, sweet-faced best friend, dodging one radiation storm after another. The route to the Central Safety Zone was blocked—we had no choice but to use two detonators to blast open the tunnel. Otherwise, we would be caught in the storm, our bodies rotting away until we either dissolved into blood sludge or turned into zombies. … In my previous life, I had risked everything to secure those detonators, only for my best friend to hand them over to a complete stranger without hesitation. "They have elderly people and children on their side too," she said earnestly. "One detonator can save many lives. Iris, you can't be selfish." I was so furious my blood pressure nearly exploded, but with no other option, I went straight into a horde of zombies to steal backup detonators. I lost an arm in the process, drenched in blood and barely standing. Yet, she complained that I was covered in gore and had frightened the children. After finally regrouping with the main convoy, I rushed to deliver the formula for anti-radiation medicine to the research institute so that more people could be saved. But she accused me of stealing supplies and trying to flee, which led to my expulsion from the base, and death, my body rotting away under the radiation. When I opened my eyes again, there was still one hour left before the radiation storm hit. I looked down at the two detonators in my hand, then at my pitiful, tear-brimmed best friend—and I smiled. Since she loved being a good person so much, this time, I would let her be one to her heart's content.

She fought to catch her breath as she took in her mates. They looked satisfied and —fuck if she didn't feel satisfied. “I can't believe I did that.” She whispered softly to herself but they heard her. “Oh, that was just the beginning, dolcezza. When you are ready to have us, we will fuck you so hard that you would feel the soreness in between your legs for days.” Callan said with a smirk. *** **Trigger warnings: This is a dark werewolf/vampire romance book. Containing steamy, erotic scenes, multiple men, filthy languages, bdsm, kinky group sex and more** Claire Evans got the biggest shock of her life when she found out that she was mated to two Alphas. It has never been heard of in the history of werewolves. Claire spent most of her life as the omega of her pack. They were treated like trash by the high ranked pack members and their Alpha. She dealt with insecurities for years, until she found her mates. Callan and Cameron, the twin Alpha of the dark moon Pack. They were known as cold and ruthless, killing anyone without remorse. They had always wanted one mate from a young age and the moon goddess finally granted their wishes. But will they succeed in pushing her out of her comfort zone? But they are left in shock when they find out that their mate wasn't who they really thought she was. She had her darkest secrets too. A secret she had never told anyone, including her mates. A secret that has haunted her all her life. She was a hybrid. Not just two but three species. Werewolf. Witch. Vampire. But she gets an even bigger shock when she finds out that her vampire side has a mate.

"You, miss papier vierge, think that you are the most smartest being on earth but let me tell you, I get whatever I want and right now, I want you" he grumbles in my ear. What the hell does he mean by that?. "I. Want. You." he repeats again. I tried to shove him away as he was too far for my comfort zone but he didn't even flinch. But what did I expect, he stood like a wall. "And what made you think I'll give in to you?" I ask, mostly in a whisper. He let's out a smirk and moves away. Finally. "Now I see you have a dirty mind as well, cute and sexy" he says. Huh! What does he mean?. "But that's not what I meant my little kitten" he adds. "I want you to babysit my child" Zephrine, who has always been hard working and was always there to support her sick sister, was faced with the dilemma of having to find her own path in life for which she has no idea where to start. She decided to take on a babysitting job but as she reached the house for an interview, she found the man that recently had an argument with and had marked him as the most arrogant of all. Axel is one of the successful multi-billionaires and the most powerful Mafian Overlord. Even the mention of his name makes the weak cower in fear. But he was challenged openly by a lady and to make matters worst, he felt an undeniable attraction to her. And whatever he wants, he gets. Will he be able to tame this little kitten or will she be the one to tame him?... And what happens when she found out about his darkest truth?.

By the third year of my marriage to Daniel Hawthorne, the war had already taken more than it ever returned, and this time it took his younger brother, Thomas Hawthorne. My sister-in-law, Eleanor, collapsed, and in the weeks that followed she tried to follow her husband into death— once with sleeping pills, once by the river beyond the officers’ quarters— only to be dragged back both times, each time clinging to me afterward as though I were the last thing keeping her grounded. I stayed with her, wiped her tears, and whispered that Thomas would want her to live, until the day she received the test results confirming she was three months pregnant, and the grief of losing her husband was slowly softened by the arrival of new life. I smiled too, believing grief had finally loosened its grip. That night, holding my own pregnancy test in my hand and thinking it was finally time to tell Daniel, I passed the study and heard his friend say quietly, “She’s carrying your child. You convinced the doctors to adjust the timeline so everyone would believe the baby belonged to your brother. Aren’t you afraid Margaret will find out?” Daniel didn’t hesitate. “She won’t,” he said calmly. “She loves me. She wouldn’t leave. I won’t let her know.” I didn’t step inside. I didn’t confront him. Instead, I opened the letter I had received weeks earlier— an official deployment order from the international medical corps, assigning me to a frontline war zone— and tapped Accept.

"I have chosen not to go through with it," I told the twins. Surprisingly, they didn't appear perturbed by my decision to forgo any romantic involvement with them. "My dear, sweet Lily," Hayden's voice resonated with a blend of authority and allure, "while we may have presented you with the illusion of choice regarding our relationship, it was never truly yours to dictate, especially after we've discerned the alluring taste between your thighs." His words, though startling, carried an undeniable magnetism, drawing me closer despite my inner resistance. I didn't fail to notice how Hunter was now closely behind me as well. "B-but this isn't right, and I have the right to decide what's best for me." Hunter had now circled his arms around my waist, kissing my neck deviously from behind, the sensuous feeling filling the pit of my stomach. Raising my head to look me in the eye, Hayden spoke. "There's nothing wrong with fulfilling one's desires, Lily. From now on, Hunter and I will be the ones to satisfy your every need. You belong to us, and no one else." *************** Lily's world is turned upside down after a wild night at the club leads to a sizzling one-night stand with a mysterious stranger, who turns out to be her billionaire boss, one of a set of irresistible twins. As she embraces her new role as their personal assistant, Lily finds herself engulfed in a whirlwind of passion, jealousy, and desire, all while grappling with her conflicting emotions for her friend Dillon. With tensions escalating and desires burning hotter, Lily is torn between the safety of her comfort zone and the thrilling temptation of the billionaire twins, risking everything for a taste of forbidden ecstasy.

Ma mère m'a demandé d'organiser un voyage en famille. Alors que nous contournions une zone dangereuse, ma petite sœur Lydia et moi avons été attaquées par des loups errants. Pour la protéger, j'ai intercepté leurs griffes et ai été projetée dans une mine d'argent. Le dos déchiré par la chute, une profonde blessure m'a traversée jusqu'aux os. Et ma jambe droite, elle était enfoncée dans des éclats d'argent. La toxine m'empoisonnait lentement, brûlant à vif moi et ma louve. Elle gémissait de douleur, sur le point de mourir. Mais ma mère, en tant que guérisseuse en chef de notre meute, avait réuni tous ses camarades autour de Lydia, pour s'occuper de ses égratignures légères. Je pleurais et la suppliais de me soigner en premier : « Maman… Le poison de l'argent va me ronger le cœur, je ne tiendrai plus longtemps... » Elle s'est retournée, l'air exaspéré, et a hurlé : « Tu essayes encore d'attirer mon attention à ce moment ? Tu sais que Lydia a failli se faire lacérer le visage par ces griffes d'argent ? Notre meute n'a jamais eu une louve aussi cruelle que toi ! » À ce moment-là, j'ai entendu le dernier cri de ma louve, qui me disait adieu. Finalement, je me suis endormie dans le froid, sans jamais me réveiller...

Lors du tremblement de terre, mon mari, Milo Alarie, capitaine de l'équipe de secours, m'a laissée derrière pour sauver son premier amour, Christine Bassot. Je ne l'ai pas empêché et l'ai laissé partir, car, dans une vie antérieure, face à la même situation, il avait choisi de sauver d'abord moi, enceinte de huit mois. Et Christine, en raison de l'intervention tardive, avait été ensevelie sous les décombres à la suite des répliques, mourant asphyxiée. Plus tard, le jour de mon accouchement, Milo m'avait emmenée devant sa tombe. Il m'avait regardée tomber à terre à cause de la douleur intense, ignorant mes supplications incessantes. « Jennifer, ça fait mal, n'est-ce pas ? Mais, tu sais, ce jour-là, Christine souffrait mille fois plus que toi sous les décombres ! » Je le regardais, incrédule, et il m'avait dit, impitoyable : « Ce jour-là, tu étais dans une zone de sécurité ! Si tu n'avais pas utilisé ta grossesse comme excuse, Christine aurait-elle manqué l'opportunité de secours optimale ? Elle a souffert à cause de toi, et maintenant, je veux que tu ressentes sa douleur ! » Il m'avait forcée à me prosterner devant la photo de Christine, mes douleurs s'intensifiant alors que je saignais abondamment. Finalement, j'étais morte à cause de complications pendant l'accouchement et une hémorragie. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'ai découvert que j'étais retournée à ce jour fatidique ! Cette fois, ni mon enfant, ni moi, ne compterions sur lui !

Lydia est une fille très brillante dont les parents avaient au moins le nécessaire pour subvenir à leurs besoins. Depuis la classe de Seconde elle s'était mise en relation amoureuse avec Johny, un jeune garçon étincelant aimé par tous ses professeurs au collège. Johny était vraiment amoureux de Lydia et cette dernière aussi l'aimait de tout son coeur. Ils s'entraidaient dans tous les exercices jusqu'à ce qu'ils obtiennent leur Baccalauréat. La situation des parents de Johnny était pire que celle des parents de Lydia. Le père de Johnny était un mécanicien et sa mère une revendeuse. Contrairement aux parents de Lydia dont le père était un professeur certifié et la mère une couturière. Après l'obtention de leur Baccalauréat, Lydia décida de venir en aide à son petit ami pour qu'il se rende à l'Université. Johny eut l'idée de siéger définitivement dans une Zone proche de l'Université mais Lydia ne voulait pas qu'il s'éloigne d'elle. Elle paya alors la première tranche de l'école choisie et assurait aussi son déplacement. Ainsi, Lydia pourrait à tout moment voir son Johny vue qu'il ira à l'École privée tout comme elle. Tout était comme sur des roulettes. Johny faisait des cours de maison pour satisfaire ses besoins et évite de trop tendre la main à Lydia grâce à ce petit Job. Il réussit à payer la suite de la somme de l'école choisie malgré que Lydia avait promis de l'aider. Lydia s'était inscrite en Sciences Juridique et Johny en comptabilité et gestion. Ils étaient heureux dans leur relation. Malgré que les copines de Lydia lui conseillaient d'abandonner le pauvre Johny, elle faisait la sourde oreille et se collait à son amoureux.

Une fois tombée enceinte, on m'a saluée comme la femme la plus précieuse du monde souterrain. Mon mari, le nouveau Parrain de la famille Jenkins, a fermé toute la zone de service d'un hôpital privé pour mes examens, tandis que mon père, le Parrain Collins, a convoqué tous les chefs étoilés Michelin de New York dans le manoir, juste pour que je puisse choisir ce que je voulais. Le bébé que je portais était destiné à être l'unique héritier des deux familles mafieuses les plus puissantes. Mais le jour où nous devions signer les papiers garantissant l'héritage de mon enfant, ils sont tous les deux disparus. « Une affaire familiale urgente est survenue », a dit mon mari, Vincent, en m'embrassant le front. « Nous pourrons finaliser l'héritage de l'enfant à notre retour. » Peu de temps après leur départ, j'ai reçu le lien anonyme vers un live. La voix de mon père est sortie de la vidéo, plus froide que je ne l'avais jamais entendue. « Vous dites que votre contrat de mariage avec Evangeline n'a jamais été valable. Cela ne fait-il pas l'enfant illégitime ? » Vincent, allongé dans une boîte, a soufflé un anneau de fumée. Bercée dans ses bras se trouvait ma demi-sœur, Sarah. « Evangeline a toujours eu tout l'amour et l'affection. Son enfant ne manquera de rien. » « Sarah a été moquée de son statut pendant des années. Je dois arranger les choses pour elle, donner à notre enfant un nom légitime. » À cet instant, mon cœur s'est serré, et j'ai à peine pu respirer. Puis mon téléphone a sonné à nouveau. C'était un texto : « Bienvenue dans la famille Gallo, ma reine. » « Adressez simplement votre parole, et l'enfant que vous portez portera le nom de Gallo et deviendra l'héritier le plus puissant du monde souterrain américain. »
