St Catherine Labouré

„Du bist keine Tochter dieses Rudels“, zischte meine Mutter, ihre goldenen Augen funkelten im Feuerschein. „Wenn du deine Alpha-Schwester nicht unterstützen kannst, dann geh.“ Ich hätte es kommen sehen müssen. Beim Ashveil-Rudel bedeutet Familie alles – außer für mich. Vera Darkthorne, die Enttäuschung. Während meine perfekte Schwester Eris Liebe, Titel und sogar meinen Gefährten Cain erhielt, fand meine Paarungszeremonie ohne einen einzigen Gast statt. Nicht einmal der Mann, der mir ewige Treue geschworen hatte. In jener Nacht floh ich. Inzwischen habe ich mir im Berliner Untergrund-Syndikat der Werwölfe ein neues Leben aufgebaut. Dort zählt nur Stärke. Ich lernte zu kämpfen, zu führen und Wölfe von doppelter Größe mit einem einzigen Blick in die Schranken zu weisen. Doch als die Nachricht eintraf, dass Eris im Sterben lag, forderte das Rudel meine Rückkehr. „Komm nach Hause, Vera“, dröhnte die Stimme meines Vaters aus dem Telefon. „Deine Schwester braucht dich.“ Ich muss fast lachen. Nach allem, was passiert ist? Aber dieses Mal bin ich nicht die schwache Wölfin, die sie damals zurückließen. Dieses Mal habe ich eigene Reißzähne. Und wenn Wölfe dich zur Jagd freigeben, fliehst du nicht – du beißt ihnen zuerst in die Kehle.

SPECIAL NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR Dearest incoming readers, this may sound unkind but it needs to be said. Please, if you're expecting a fast-paced, smutty romance book, then this one might not be the one for you. This book is a slow-paced, fluffy romance that focuses on building trust and a lovable communication with mature and understanding characters. Which means no toxicity from the ML and FL of any such. While there will be smut, more of it to come, please do not expect it within the first few chapters. If you're looking for something different and unique, I suggest you give this one a try, and if it's not your style, please skip. Bad and unnecessary comments will not be condoled. Thank you.

“Your body belongs to me, Kitten.” He rasped out, cold index finger reaching out to trace over my fluttering pulse. I took an hesitant step backwards, but he took one forward, closing in on me even further and making my breath hitch. “Say it.” I gulped and averted my gaze instead, clutching on my towel harder. His grip on my chin was firm as he tipped my head upwards. I trembled in immense fear. “My b- body belongs to you.” I stuttered shakily, and a dark grin broke out on his face, making my blood run colder. “That’s right. Now, take this off. I don’t think we’ll be needing this tonight.” —— When an underboss’ territory gets raided and his wife and eldest son gets captured, what better way to rectify the situation than to seek help from the most popular Mafia Don in Italy and give his only daughter away in exchange for said help.

Un soir d’hiver, deux âmes brisées se croisent sur le toit d’un immeuble. Gabriel, 37 ans, vient d’apprendre qu’il est stérile. Son dernier espoir vient de s'effondrer. Ses rêves de paternité, les sacrifices… tout était vain. Il est monté là-haut pour fuir le vacarme du monde, pour faire face à l’abîme. Élise, 19 ans, est montée sur ce même toit après avoir reçu un appel qui a fait basculer sa réalité : elle est enceinte. Mais elle est vierge. Aucun homme , oui , aucun contact , rien. Et pourtant, le test est formel. Son médecin parle d’un "miracle", mais pour elle, c’est une impossibilité crue, presque une trahison de son propre corps. Elle n’en peut plus. Elle veut comprendre ou disparaître. Dans cette nuit suspendue, ils se parlent. Ils ne se connaissent pas, et pourtant, un lien se tisse, fragile, intense. Une forme de tendresse entre deux solitudes. Ils ne partagent que des fragments de leur vérité, sans savoir que leurs destins sont déjà liés bien plus profondément qu’ils ne l’imaginent. Car ce que ni l’un ni l’autre ne sait encore, c’est que quelques semaines plus tôt, une erreur a été commise dans une clinique de fertilité. Le sperme de Gabriel, conservé malgré son diagnostic, a été utilisé par mégarde lors d’une insémination. Et l’enfant qu’attend Élise est le sien. Un drame inattendu, un secret inscrit dans la chair d’un futur innocent. Et quand la vérité éclatera, rien ne sera plus jamais comme avant.
