Song Rise Above

Dans un empire bâti sur le sang et la peur, Diel, oméga au cœur fragile, devient malgré lui le témoin puis l’enjeu du règne de Riven, un alpha aussi charismatique que cruel. Tyran convaincu que la violence est le seul moyen de préserver l’ordre, Riven gouverne par la terreur, écrasant toute rébellion au nom de la paix. Lié à lui par le pouvoir, la contrainte et une attraction douloureuse, Diel se retrouve prisonnier d’un amour destructeur. Malgré les humiliations, les massacres et la perte de toute illusion, il reste attaché à Riven, incapable de haïr totalement celui qui l’a brisé. Lorsque la guerre éclate et que l’empire s’embrase, Diel devient le témoin impuissant des atrocités commises pour maintenir un trône déjà condamné.

“ Marry me Alpha Nikolai.” Once, she was born to rule. The Moon Goddess’s chosen Luna — fierce, revered, untouchable. Her voice commanded packs, her presence demanded loyalty. When she chose to marry the broken Omega no one wanted, the world called her merciful. She called it love. She gave him everything — her name, her crown, her power — and in return, he gave her ruin. He rose on her strength, wore her title, and when the time came, he turned his claws on her. Her mate. Her king. The man she made Alpha. Left for dead and stripped of her mark, she vanished into the wild. But a Luna never dies quietly. Now she’s back — colder, deadlier, reborn in blood and moonlight. The pack that mourned her will kneel again, but this time, not for love or mercy. For fear. Because the Luna he betrayed isn’t coming home to forgive him.She’s coming back to burn his kingdom to ash.

« Si tu vexes l'Alpha Charles, Inès peut encore plaider pour toi. Mais si tu agaces Inès, il ne restera même pas tes cendres. » C'est une phrase très répandue dans les cercles aristocratiques des loups-garous. Je suis Inès. À cause d'un simple jeu, j'ai décidé de rompre le pacte du couple avec Charles. Dans le jeu, complètement ivre, il a dit : « J'adore poser ma tête sur le ventre d'une femme enceinte pour écouter les battements du cœur du bébé. » Un silence de mort a envahi la salle. Tous les regards des loups-garous se sont tournés vers moi. Il n'y avait pas de surprise dans ces regards, seulement de la pitié pour moi, la Luna légitime, et de la panique face à un secret révélé. J'ai compris instantanément : ils savaient tous que Charles avait un enfant avec une autre femme, mais ils l'avaient tous aidé à me le cacher. Tout simplement parce qu'ils savaient que j'étais la raison de vivre de Charles. Si j'apprenais la vérité, je partirais. Et Charles, il deviendrait fou. Je devais admettre qu'ils me connaissaient vraiment bien. Après avoir découvert la vérité, j'ai décidé de faire trois choses. Premièrement, j'allais jeter dans un fourneau l'alliance que Charles avait conçue pour moi. Deuxièmement, j'allais enregistrer sur une clé USB la vidéo dans laquelle Lily m'avait provoquée avec son enfant. Troisièmement, j'allais déposer un dossier auprès du Département des Affaires des Loups-Garous pour devenir chercheuse sur l'île glacée, isolée du monde. Le jour où j'ai quitté la tribu était justement le jour de notre septième anniversaire de mariage. Et moi, je disparaîtrais de sa vie comme un filet de fumée.

Luca - I saw her sitting in the booth at a cafe I was a regular at and knew she was different from other humans. There was something about her that spoke to me and my inner soul. We both wanted her from that moment on. I am the vampire king, and she will be my queen. She is stunningly beautiful with those emerald eyes and hair that reminds me of the sunrise. Something was nagging at my mind telling me she reminded me of someone. I felt someone nudge me, and I knew it was time for me to go. I knew that I would be here more because there was no way I was leaving her alone and unguarded from this moment on. Sienna - I was sitting at my usual table in the cafe when I felt the weight of someone's eyes on me. I looked up and into the most amazing pair of golden eyes I had ever seen.

I didn’t know then that he would become one of the most important people in my life, and he would help me discover what and who I am.

I've gone on a business trip. It's 3:00 am when my best friend suddenly calls me. He asks me why I didn't tell him that I already have a baby, seeing as we haven't met for a year. That question takes me by surprise. Josephine Bennett and I have been married for many years, but we've been using contraception all this time. Since when do we have a baby together? My best friend then sends me a screenshot of Josephine's social media feed. The caption shows, "This marks our 100th day together, my darling baby! I love you so much!" My heart goes tense when I see the screenshot. Immediately, I call Josephine to ask her what's going on. Her reaction is very cool and collected, though. "That's a relative's baby. I found the baby super adorable, so I decided to share the post. I didn't think I'd end up sharing the caption too." I just smile when I hear Josephine's answer. Later on, I call my older brother, Leonard Sterling. "Cut the funding for Josephine's research project. Turns out she's been cheating on me."
