Mon mari Alpha, Ryder, avait toujours détesté entendre un chiot pleurer. Mais récemment, il a commencé à s'occuper du chiot nouveau-né de ma sœur adoptive, restant à ses côtés dans la nurserie chaque nuit jusqu'à l'aube. Chaque fois que Ryder quittait notre chambre pour aller dans celle du bébé, une douleur lancinante et inexplicable me transperçait la poitrine. Cette agonie durait toute la nuit, jusqu'à son retour à l'aube. J'avais finalement atteint mon point de rupture. Lors du festival de la pleine lune, j'avais annoncé devant toute la meute que je rejetais notre lien d'âme sœur. Le lien mental de la meute s'était saturé de murmures, indiquant que la bataille avait endommagé mon esprit. Une lueur dorée s'était allumée dans les yeux de Ryder tandis qu'il me fixait avec incrédulité. « Parce que j'étais trop occupé pour prendre de tes nouvelles quand tu étais blessée, tu rejettes notre lien à cause d'un chiot de six mois ? » Je n'avais pas croisé son regard. Mon œil s'était plutôt attardé sur la légère trace de rouge à lèvres estompée à l'intérieur de son col. Ma voix tremblait, mais elle ne vacillait pas. « Puisque tu aimes tant son chiot, une fois notre lien rompu, tu pourras ouvertement être le père. »

Chaque nuit à 23h47, Lila reçoit une lettre. Pas d’expéditeur. Pas d’enveloppe. Juste des mots. Des mots qui la connaissent trop bien. Des secrets qu’elle n’a jamais racontés. Des souvenirs qu’elle pensait avoir oubliés. Et toujours la même phrase à la fin : “Ne regarde pas derrière toi.” Qui est-il ? Pourquoi elle ? Et surtout… que cache-t-elle elle-même derrière ses silences ? Entre obsession, amour interdit et vérité dangereuse, Lila va découvrir que parfois… le passé ne veut pas rester enterré.

« Alors vous pensez qu’il est… mort ? » Le dernier mot sortit à peine de la bouche de Davis, dans un murmure étouffé et craintif. Mandy hésita un instant. Elle connaissait la vérité. « J'en suis sûr. » Lorsque Brad, son petit ami et dernière victime, disparaît, Mandy s'enfuit dans une autre ville. Un policier, Tyler, poussé par la curiosité, la suit. Très vite, il se retrouve pris au piège de sa véritable nature et leur amour interdit devient un jeu mortel pour tous les deux.

"If you offend Alpha Carlen, Luna Irene might plead for you. But if you cross Luna Irene, there won't even be a scrap of you left." That's a widely circulated saying in the werewolf upper circles. I'm Irene Chandler. Because of one game, I've decided to dissolve the mate bond with Carlen Alvarado. During the game, he says drunkenly, "I love resting my head on the belly of an expecting she-wolf and listening to the pup's heartbeat." The room falls silent. Every werewolf turns to look at me. There's no surprise in their eyes. What I see is their pity for me, the rightful Luna, and a flicker of panic that their secret has been exposed. At that moment, I understood everything. They all know Carlen has a pup with another woman. They've been helping him hide it from me. That's because they know I'm Carlen's everything. I'll leave him if I ever find out. And if I leave, he'll lose his mind. I have to admit that they know me well. After learning the truth, I plan to do three things. First, I toss the wedding ring Carlen designed for me into the furnace. Second, I save the video of Lily Chalvez flaunting her pregnancy to provoke me onto a flash drive. Third, I submit documents to the Pack Affairs Department, applying to become a researcher on the isolated Icebound Island. The day I leave the pack happens to be our seventh wedding anniversary. I'll vanish from his life like a wisp of smoke.

My whole family only ever loved my younger sister, Carrie Brooks. Carrie had a crush on my fiancé, Josh Beaumont. On my wedding day, my mother pressed a knife to her throat, forcing me to give Josh to Carrie. "The fortune teller said Carrie's illness will get better if she gets married," Mom pleaded. "You're healthy. You'll find someone else." My brother, Nick Jansen chimed in. "Grace, don't be so selfish. Hurry up and take off the dress. Carrie's thinner than you. Make sure you don't stretch it out." Even Josh said, "Carrie doesn't have much time left. But Grace… we still have our whole lives ahead of us." They didn't know. The one who was truly dying… was me.

I woke up back in my 27-year-old body. I had twin cubs, and my mate was Ethan, the most powerful Alpha in the Northwest. He was always at the top of the Wolf Council's rankings. Alpha Weekly even named him "Number One Ideal Mate on the Continent." Even the Royal Pack wanted to marry their princess to him. Everyone in the pack said I was lucky. But the first thing I did? I took the sacred contract for dissolving our mate bond and delivered it to his old flame myself. I pushed the contract in front of Isabella and said calmly, "I'm going to ask the Moon Goddess to break our bond. Ethan's yours. The cubs, too." Isabella stared at me, shocked. She couldn't believe the person who'd been Luna for six years would just give it all up. I just added quietly, "Since they all like your scent better, I'll get out of your way. Just get Ethan to put his Alpha mark on the contract. Once the bond-breaking ceremony is over, I'll leave this territory." This time, I wasn't going to make the same mistakes. I wouldn't be the Luna everyone ignored anymore.
