Tale Of Ise

He looks at me like he already knows the truth I’ve spent a lifetime hiding. Ethan Vance—lawman, predator, believer in a system I learned to outthink before I could drink wine. His eyes don’t burn with hate. They study, measure, almost… understand. They call him incorruptible. Maybe he is. But I’ve seen incorruptible men fall, not to money or power, but to fascination. The kind that crawls under your skin and makes you wonder if the person chasing you might be the only one who truly sees you. He hunts me by the book. I survive by rewriting it. But somewhere between the pursuit and the silence, between his questions and my lies, the line blurred. And now, I can’t decide which is more dangerous, losing to him, or wanting him to catch me. --- He isn’t what I expected. Luca Vitale walks into every room like he owns it, and maybe he does. Calm. Calculated. Dangerous in ways that don’t show up on a rap sheet. He should be just another target, another name I take down and file away. But there’s something about the way he looks at me. Like he already knows I’m not as untouchable as I pretend to be. I tell myself it’s strategy, curiosity, control. It’s not. It’s a problem. Because every time I think I’m closing in, I realise he’s already two steps ahead—and for the first time in my career, I’m not sure if I’m hunting him, or if he’s letting me try.

J'étais Rebecca, la compagne de Gauvain Clerc, Alpha de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier — la plus puissante des meutes du Nord. Gauvain était un génie des affaires qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, son réseau commercial s'étendant sur une douzaine de meutes nordiques et transformant la sienne en un véritable empire réussi. Il m'avait revendiquée pendant quatre ans. Nous étions prêts pour notre cérémonie d'union… jusqu'au retour de Viviane, son amour d'enfance. Le jour où je les ai vus se retrouver, la vérité m'a foudroyée : ce que je croyais être de l'amour n'avait toujours été qu'une illusion, la mienne. Dans ses yeux, il n'y avait qu'elle. Moi, je n'avais été qu'un simple arrangement. Au moins, il ne m'avait jamais marquée. Aucun lien de compagnon, seulement des papiers glacés du Conseil de la Meute. Cela simplifiait les choses. Alors j'ai préparé ma revanche : j'ai déguisé l'Accord de Dissolution du lien de compagnon en simple formulaire administratif d'université. Quand sa plume a effleuré ce document, notre lien s'est rompu d'un seul trait d'encre. Il n'a jamais compris ce qu'il perdait ce jour-là : pas seulement une compagne, mais l'héritier futur de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier. À présent, il me traque à travers les continents. Est-ce de l'amour ? Ou bien à cause du petit ? Ou seulement l'orgueil d'un Alpha, consumé par le fait que j'aie réussi à briser notre lien de compagnon sans qu'il ne réalise qu'il venait d'être joué ?
