À peine arrivée dans son nouveau lycée, une jeune fille naïve et protégée découvre brutalement la cruauté d’un monde qu’elle ne connaît pas. Trompée par un ancien ami qui orchestre son humiliation devant tous les élèves, elle comprend vite qu’elle n’aura pas sa place dans cet univers où règnent les Alphas, puissants et redoutés. Mais alors qu’elle croit pouvoir s’enfuir, sa mère lui révèle un secret bouleversant : leur vie va changer, et elles doivent désormais rejoindre un domaine mystérieux où l’attendent de nouveaux liens de sang. Derrière les murs de ce manoir imposant, elle fait la connaissance de quatre demi-frères, héritiers destinés à devenir rois Alphas. Leur beauté et leur puissance n’ont d’égales que leur hostilité. Entre rancunes, humiliations et regards troublants, chacun semble la considérer comme une étrangère, voire comme une proie. Très vite, des secrets enfouis remontent : manipulations, rivalités fraternelles, et un danger plus grand encore qui plane dans l’ombre, lié à son propre loup intérieur. Tiraillée entre peur, attirance interdite et pressentiment d’une menace imminente, la jeune fille sent que sa vie vient de basculer dans un jeu dangereux. Ses demi-frères seront-ils ses protecteurs… ou ses geôliers ? Et surtout, pourra-t-elle dompter la puissance incontrôlable qui sommeille en elle, avant qu’elle ne devienne elle-même l’arme de sa propre perte ?

Elelira, forced by her uncle into a marriage alliance with the rumored monstrous alpha of the south, was surprised to find on her wedding day that he was actually her mate. Due to a secret she and her late mother kept, he wouldn’t feel the mate bond for two more years, until it was too late. Elelira, on the day she turns 20, the day Lachlan can feel the bond, she rejects him before escaping into the sea. Her freedom is short lived as her quest to find her real father takes her back to her abusive Uncle’s pack, where she is captured and tortured until her death. She hopes that is the end, but as soon as her eyes close, they open again and she is back at the beginning; the beginning of her suffering.

To correct the mistakes of his past, he sacrificed greatly to get a second chance. What he didn’t expect, though, was for her to come back with all her memories of the future from the past as well.

“What I said before still stands. I am not allowed to touch you. Stop inviting me to.” His voice was dangerously low and rough. He could see in her eyes that she knew just how aroused he was for her and, with his body pressed against hers, she felt it. Her hand was eagerly massaging between her legs. “I don’t want you to touch me. I can do that all on my own.” She breathed, letting out a soft moan. “Watch me, Dalton. Fucking watch what you do to me.” She was the sexiest thing he’d ever seen, and as she pleasured herself, he couldn’t find it in him to regret what he was watching her do. He knew it was wrong, but with each blissful groan from her lips, his control slipped that much further from his grip. **** She was half his age and the daughter of his old college friend.

That night, I got off work early and brought home some late-night snacks. When I opened the door, I saw a pair of high heels carelessly tossed in the entryway and Gregory’s blazer thrown over the couch. His heavy breathing and the woman’s moans could be heard through the gap between the door and its frame. I was all too familiar with this sight. This time, I did not storm out like I used to. Instead, I sat quietly at the dining table and finished my cold pizza.

“What anniversary are you celebrating, huh? Five years of barrenness?” he queried, “It’s just another year to celebrate how unfortunate I am to be with you.” “We’ve come this far, love, I’m sure having a child won’t be a problem,” I manage to say with a smile. “Oh please, I don't fertilize barren land.
