Silence Is Betrayal

Adrian woke to warmth, too much warmth. His heart nearly stopped when he realized his head was resting against Kaelen’s chest, their legs tangled beneath the sheets. Panic surged. He shoved himself upright, only to freeze when he saw it, thin, glowing red threads coiling around his wrist, binding him to Kaelen. His blood ran cold. “What the hell…?” Adrian whispered, staring at the unmistakable bond mark. Kaelen stirred, blinking awake. For a moment, confusion flickered in his eyes, then shock. He tugged the sheet up to cover himself, gaze darting between Adrian and the red mark linking them. “What did you do? Adrian hissed, his voice breaking. You’re my sister’s fiancé! You’re supposed to be her mate, not...” He trembled as he scrambled for his clothes. Kaelen sat up, still staring at the line as though it mocked him. “I… I don’t know. But this—this isn’t a mistake. Adrian, you’re my mate.” “No!. Adrian’s hands shook as he pulled his shirt over his head. Whatever happened last night...forget it. This is wrong. You hear me? It never happened. Don’t you dare breathe a word of this to anyone.” Kaelen’s voice softened, almost pleading. “Adrian…” But Adrian couldn’t bear to listen. His chest ached as he turned away, slamming the door behind him, leaving Kaelen staring at the red bond that refused to fade. Two souls tied together by fate. One forbidden connection that could destroy them both.

Les parents de mon mari ont été piqués par un frelon inconnu et ont été envoyés d'urgence à l'hôpital. Je suis allée à l'institut d'entomologie pour demander à mon mari, le directeur, d'aider les médecins à établir un diagnostic. Mais il a appelé les agents de sécurité pour me bloquer à l'entrée. « Je ne traite pas les affaires après le travail. La mère d'Isabelle est malade, je dois aller m'occuper d'elle. » Je voulais lui montrer l'avis de danger critique, mais il me l'a arraché et déchiré. « Beaucoup de gens meurent tous les jours. Tes parents sont morts, et alors ? » Après la mort de mes beaux-parents, j'ai porté plainte contre Isabelle qui avait volontairement fait tomber le nid de frelons. Mon mari, disparu depuis quelques jours, est soudainement apparu au banc des experts et a falsifié un avis professionnel pour innocenter Isabelle. Quand j'ai décidé de partir à l'étranger, mon mari s'est mis en colère : « Tes parents sont morts parce qu'ils étaient faibles, en quoi cela me concerne ? J'ai travaillé toute la journée, j'ai pas le droit de me reposer ? » « Tu veux même entraîner Isabelle avec toi ? Ta famille est brisée et tu veux détruire celle des autres ? Quelle cruauté ! » « Des gens comme toi méritent de perdre leurs parents ! » En regardant son visage plein d'hypocrisie et d'accusations inversées, j'ai soudainement compris. En fait, il ne savait pas encore qu'il était devenu orphelin.

On the day of our engagement, just because Madison Calder wants to eat the ravioli my fiance Nicholas Olsen made, he decides to leave without hesitation. I can't help but try to stop him, but he slaps me across the face. "It's just an engagement party—we can have another one. What if Maddy starves?" Even my brother Brandon Lewis scolds me for being unreasonable. "You're older than Maddy. Can't you be more understanding?" I say nothing more and choose to let go and leave. They think I'm just throwing a tantrum and ignore me. They even clear their schedules just to take Madison on a vacation. It isn't until half a month later that they think to contact me, only to discover I have already joined a classified government weapons research program that will last ten years. Moreover, I have decided never to come home again. They completely panic.

Betrayed, abandoned, and marked by a cruel fate, Xena never imagined that a single night would change her life forever when she is casted out by her family, scorned by her pack for being wolfless, and left with no place to go, she is forced into an arranged marriage with a man she believes to be a nobody. But when she arrives at her new husband's pack, she is horrified to discover that the "nobody" is none other than Kael, the ruthless and cursed Lycan Lord who despises her but little did she know that this cruel fate she found herself in would be her salvation or… her doom. 

They say there is a fine line between love and hate, but where does one end and the other begin? When does something so pure become something so toxic that even you yourself cannot fathom when things changed? This story starts on the day that my parents were killed. That was the day that I felt like my entire life had ended. If only I knew then that it was only the beginning of the storm I would be made to endure. Struggling to grasp onto the threads of my unraveling life, I found comfort in the arms of someone I didn't truly know. His dangerously handsome looks and his lethal allure consumed me, and, despite my every instinct, I fell. He became my world, the very air I needed to breathe, the only one that I thought I could rely on... but then, in the blink of an eye, everything changed. When the truth of my very existence and reality was revealed, he cast me aside and lit my world ablaze, leaving me to burn in the flames of his hatred. Even then, we were still intertwined together by one fate. My name is Yileyna De'Lacor, and this is my story.
