St Augustine Prayer

Milo never expected survival to look like this. At twenty-one, he’s spent most of his life drifting, bruised by the world and too soft to fight back. His beauty makes people underestimate him; his fragility makes them think they can shape him. Isaak is a walking contradiction: cold-eyed, dark-inked, and terrifyingly controlled. At thirty-one, he has carved his body and his life into hard, elegant precision. Power clings to him as naturally as oxygen, and people follow him even when they don’t understand why. To him, Milo isn’t fragile. He’s fascinating. He’s something worth remaking. Kasym, older by barely a year, is the opposite—a broad, golden-haired monolith of warmth and violence. He smiles easily, loves fiercely, and destroys without remorse. Under his tattoos and bruised knuckles lies a heart that has bled too often, yet still hungers for someone to protect. He sees Milo’s softness and doesn’t want to change it. He wants to guard it with his teeth. But three hearts are not easily aligned. Isaak’s possessiveness clashes with Kasym’s tenderness, and both men fear that the softness they worship will shatter under the weight of their devotion. Milo must learn to navigate two hungers, two ways of loving that demand more than he has ever given. The question isn’t whether he belongs to them—it’s whether they can learn to belong to each other without destroying the boy who binds them. This is a love story built not on simplicity but on collision—where surrender becomes power, devotion becomes war, and three lives entwine in a bond too fierce to break.

"Mom, I don't get what's happening? Wedding?" "But darling, you already accepted the St Daniels' offer," Melissa said sweetly to her daughter. "I didn't know what I was accepting," Mari protested. "She pleaded with me to help her son Raymond." "Of course, honey, you're helping Raymond by marrying him," Melissa said. Her tone is filled with sweetness, trying to damp her daughter's fury. "And besides, this arrangement is crucial to your father. Tell her, Cullman, she needs to know." Mari's gaze shifted to her father, her eyes narrowing. "Catherine, my businesses are crashing and I'm on the brink of bankruptcy," her father admitted. "I couldn't bear the thought of my competitors gloating over my downfall. I had to strike a deal with the St Daniels. They were looking for a suitable bride for their eldest son, and...I'm afraid you're the price I had to pay, Catherine."

Her mother was the one that spoke up. "Raymond St Daniels has awaken from his coma. But the doctors said he'll be crippled for the rest of his life."

Le jour de notre cinquième anniversaire, Liam ne m'a offert qu'une simple marque de protection. Mais cette même nuit, il a scellé l'Union Sacrée avec Stéphanie, son premier amour. J'ai refusé d'y croire. Il m'a traitée d'illogique. « Mon Union avec Stéphanie, c'est pour l'avenir de la meute, pas par sentiment ! » m'a-t-il lancé, « Tu n'es qu'une humaine. Ma marque devrait te suffire. C'était ton ultime épreuve, Hélène. Tu m'as déçu. » Je suis alors partie. Et il a demandé Stéphanie en mariage le soir même. Cinq ans plus tard, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans un hôtel luxueux désigné par le Conseil des Alphas. Sa meute était sur le point de dominer la région. Stéphanie, vêtue d'une robe de soie lunaire, se tenait à son bras. Quand il m'a vue, couverte de sable, debout dans la fontaine décorative, il a froncé les sourcils. « Hélène », a-t-il ricané, « tu as méprisé ma protection. Regarde-toi maintenant. Je parie qu'aucune meute n'accepterait une humaine. Ne crois pas que ta pitié m'attendrira. » Je l'ai ignoré. La pierre lunaire, trésor ramassé sur la plage par mon fils, avait roulé dans la fontaine. Le pauvre chou sautillait d'impatience, et il me fallait que je retrouve son porte-bonheur...

Als ich Stück für Stück zerschnitten wurde, rief ich mit letzter Kraft meinen Bruder – Lukas Sommer an. Gerade als mein Bewusstsein zu schwinden drohte, nahm er erst ab. Seine Stimme klang voller Unmut. „Was ist denn schon wieder?“ „Lukas, hilf mir ...“ Ich konnte nicht weiterreden, er unterbrach mich einfach. „Musstest du denn immer irgendwas haben? Ende des Monats war Lunas Volljährigkeitsfeier. Wenn du nicht gekommen wärst, hätte ich dich umgebracht!“ Dann legte er ohne zu zögern auf. Ich konnte den Schmerz nicht länger ertragen und schloss für immer die Augen. Tränen liefen mir noch über die Wangen. Lukas, du musstest mich nicht umbringen – ich war schon tot.
