Skylar Grey Coming Home Part Ii Novels & Stories

J'étais la fille de l'Alpha de la Tribu Ashford – la louve la plus belle de tout le territoire du Sud. Les Alphas faisaient la queue pour me courtiser, et je ne daignais accorder un second regard à aucun d'entre eux. Jusqu'à ce que ma meilleure amie me lance un défi : « Sera, je te propose un pari. Tu crois pouvoir faire tomber mon frère Kieran amoureux de toi ? Si tu gagnes, je te donne le collier de lune de guérison de ma mère. Si tu perds, tu me passes cette voiture de sport en édition limitée que tu aimes tant. » D'innombrables belles louves avaient essayé de se glisser dans le lit de Kieran. Toutes avaient été froidement refusées. La toute première nuit après avoir accepté le pari, j'ai sauvé Kieran d'un empoisonnement à l'argent, et j'ai passé le reste de cette nuit à m'enlacer avec lui pendant qu'il brûlait de fièvre et de chaleur. Pendant les deux années qui ont suivi, il est devenu de plus en plus obsédé par moi. Sur la longue table de conférence de la salle de réunion de la tribu, il m'a plaquée sur les documents. Dans chaque pièce de son domaine privé, nous avons laissé des traces de notre passage. J'ai fini par tomber amoureuse de lui au cours d'innombrables moments intimes. Jusqu'à la nuit où j'ai accidentellement surpris sa conversation avec l'aîné de la tribu. « Alpha, il est temps d'annoncer qui sera Luna. » La voix de l'aîné était basse et délibérée. « Mlle Seraphina est à tes côtés depuis deux ans maintenant. Selon la tradition de la tribu... » « Assez. » Kieran l'a interrompu. « Elle et moi, on s'amuse juste. » L'aîné est resté silencieux un moment. « Et ton premier amour ? Quand vous vous êtes séparés, elle a demandé deux ans d'intervalle pour essayer d'autres compagnons. Ces deux ans sont écoulés maintenant. N'est-il pas temps pour elle de revenir ? » « Oui. » La voix de Kieran s'est enfin adoucie. « Il est temps pour elle de revenir. » C'est à ce moment-là que j'ai réalisé : son soi-disant véritable amour était ma demi-sœur. La personne que je détestais le plus au monde. Pendant deux ans, je n'avais été que son cobaye parce qu'il voulait essayer quelqu'un d'autre. Je me suis retournée et je suis partie sans hésiter. Mais cet Alpha puissant est devenu fou, il a parcouru tout le monde des loups-garous pour me retrouver.

My sister was the golden child, the pride of our family, but she had a rare blood disorder that required treatments costing thousands every month. To keep her alive, I became her personal blood donor, working nonstop to pay for her care and delivering food all day and night. But one day, she nearly died from hemorrhaging after trying to abort a pregnancy. That’s when I learned the child she was carrying belonged to my boyfriend. When I confronted him, he didn’t even flinch. Instead, he dragged me to the operating table himself. “You were born to be her blood bank. Dying for her? It’s the best thing you’ll ever do.” I was left there, bleeding out, my life slipping away with every drop. But as death closed in, something changed. The people who once hoped I’d disappear—the ones who used me, betrayed me—they all began to unravel, losing their insanity.

Rain was my mate's childhood sweetheart. When she found out I'd been exposed to wolfsbane as a child, she slipped a trace amount into my mushroom soup. The moment I swallowed it, a searing pain ripped through my chest. My powers drained away. My wolf howled inside me, thrashing in agony. Panicked, I grabbed my flask — years ago, my father had collected sacred spring water that could neutralize wolfsbane, just in case. But she had swapped that too. The flask was full of the same poisoned soup. The blood drained from my face. Every ounce of strength left my body. I collapsed, clinging to the leg of my mate, Liam. "Please — I've been poisoned. Wolfsbane. You have to help me — " Liam hesitated. But Rain crossed her arms and laughed. "Liam, your fiancée really is quite the actress. It's just mushroom soup. I've been a healer for years, and I've never seen anyone get poisoned from soup." The other werewolves piled on. "Cut the act! Nobody gets poisoned from mushroom soup." "She's just jealous that Rain became a healer. She wants to ruin the celebration." Liam's face went cold again. "Rain's a healer. If there was anything wrong with the soup, she'd know. You'll be fine." I stopped begging. I spent the last shred of my energy reaching through the mind-link to my father — Alpha Hale of the Granite Pack.

When the bank calls me to collect the first round of mortgages from me, do I realize that my wife, Denise Sheridan, also the same woman who eats leftovers and saves every single penny with me in our daily lives, has bought my brother-in-law, Dmitri Sheridan, two prime mansions located near a school. While Dmitri is placed as the mansion deed holder, I'm the one who's supposed to clear off the mortgages. I hurl the purchasing contract to the floor in fury. "You said Nancy's leukemia requires a shit ton of money, so I've been saving up my whole life. I even went as far as to work ten jobs per day! "My dad had to sell his kidney in exchange for a term of Nancy's chemotherapy bills because you told me the money wasn't enough at all. But thanks to the shady hospital, he died on the surgical table! "And yet, now you've used the money that Dad and I had put our blood, sweat, and tears into earning to buy mansions for Dmitri! Do you even have a conscience?" "What happened to your dad was destined to be! Sure, we could always make more money if we have more treatment bills to cover, but Dmitri's case is different! He urgently needs money for his marriage!" Denise refutes in a righteous way. I'm about to lash out at her when my daughter, Nancy Sheridan, rushes out. "Dad, Uncle Dmitri is the hope of our family! I don't mind giving him money to spend!" At that moment, I finally realize that not only am I this household's ATM, but my own daughter is also an ingrate through and through.

Eudora Dawson has always lived in the shadow of her sister, Camellia, unseen, misunderstood, and never truly accepted in her own home. When Camellia is left paralyzed after a sudden car accident, Eudora becomes the one everyone blames. No one listened to her. Not her family. Not even Desmond Nelson, the man her sister is engaged to and the boy she once saved as a child. After Camellia’s sudden disappearance, Desmond forces Eudora into a marriage that is not built on love, but punishment. To him, she is the reason everything fell apart. To her family, she is a burden they are willing to sacrifice. And in a house where she has never truly belonged, Eudora learned to survive by enduring in silence. But silence cannot protect her forever. On the anniversary of Camellia’s disappearance, one night changes everything between Eudora and Desmond but when Camellia suddenly returns alive, Eudora is pushed out of Desmond’s life without hesitation, handed divorce papers, and forced to leave the only place she has ever known. Pregnant, alone, and with nowhere to turn, she disappears without a trace. Five years later, Eudora returns as someone unrecognisable. No longer the girl they once blamed, she is now a high profile painter with a life built far away from the ruins of her past. But the past is not finished with her. Because Desmond is searching for her. And the truth about that accident is beginning to surface.

Born an Omega, Celeste Ravaryn was never meant to be anything more than a servant—weak, disposable, broken. She spent her life at the mercy of the very wolves who tormented her. Until fate tied her to Alpha Kieran Blackwood. His Luna? Never. His whore? Always. He never wanted her. But he took her anyway. In the dark, he ruined her, whispered lies against her skin… then shattered her in front of everyone. "Did you really think I'd accept an Omega as my mate? Pathetic." He rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. "I, Alpha Kieran Blackwood, accept Selene Hawthorne as my mate. She will be my Luna, bear my children, and lead this pack with me..." But rejection doesn’t always mean the end. Sometimes, it’s just the beginning. Because in the shadows, another monster is watching. The most feared Lycan King in existence. A man with no mercy, no weakness… except her. She was born to suffer. But he, The Lycan King, will teach her how to burn the world and make everyone in it tremble at her feet.

Three years as his fiancée, reduced to nothing more than a soulless trinket. No going out. No friends. No opinions. Every breath I took was measured against Leo's mood. For three years I obeyed him unconditionally, trying to warm the heart of this mafia tyrant. Then today, in the fitting room at the atelier, his adoptive sister Alice snatched my couture wedding gown right off the rack. She didn't even have the decency to do it behind my back; she walked straight into Leo's arms while I stood there watching. Leo barely glanced at me. Just patted her head and said, “It's just a dress. Let her have it.” Three years of patience, and that's what it came to. A joke. I looked at the two of them, that smug, triumphant, and I thought: Marciano, did you really think I wouldn't fight back?

Il l’a humiliée, négligée, effacée. Aujourd’hui, il est à genoux. Éléonore avait tout pour être heureuse : un mari puissant, une vie de luxe, un statut enviable. Mais derrière les portes closes de leur demeure somptueuse, elle n’était qu’une ombre. Gabriel Vaneck, son époux, ne lui accordait ni attention, ni respect, ni tendresse. Juste du mépris.

Celle qu’il a laissée partir est devenue celle que tout le monde veut. Alors il engage le combat de sa vie : la reconquérir. Fleurs, lettres, supplications, humiliations publiques... L’homme qui ne s’était jamais excusé est prêt à tout. Mais Éléonore n’est plus la femme qui pardonne en silence. Cette fois, c’est elle qui dicte les règles. Et si Gabriel veut une seconde chance, il devra prouver qu’il a changé. Vraiment. Elle est partie brisée. Elle revient indestructible. Et lui, il n’a jamais autant souffert. Il m’a laissée partir, maintenant il me supplie – une histoire de renaissance, de vengeance douce et d’un amour qui doit tout réapprendre pour mériter de survivre.

Eu trabalhava como professora particular quando o meu vício em sexo explodiu de vez, e eu cheguei ao orgasmo na frente do pai da minha aluna. Os meus comprimidos tinham acabado, e bem na minha frente estava exatamente a aluna a quem eu dava aula. Quando o prazer começou a me torturar a ponto de eu quase perder a razão, uma mão deslizou pelo meu corpo. Aquela mão tinha uma força que eu nunca tinha sentido antes e, num ponto escondido, ela começou a provocar cada pedacinho sensível em mim. Eu lutava para aguentar o prazer e continuava a aula aos trancos e barrancos. Até que, quando eu cheguei na explicação da sexta palavra, eu deixei escapar um gemido e atingi o auge ali mesmo, sem conseguir dar um passo. Naquele exato instante, eu senti um cilindro em brasa, rígido e pronto para me invadir, encostando firme atrás de mim.
