Sebastian's voice came from behind her, low and knowing. "You want to get back at them, don't you?" Kaira's gaze remained fixed on the disappearing figure of her sister, her emotions simmering just below the surface. She hated how easily Sebastian read her, seeing depths others missed. "Yes," she confessed, her voice laced with venom. "I want them to feel the same pain I feel." Sebastian stepped forward, his eyes locking onto hers as he gently wiped away the tears threatening to spill. His touch was soothing, but his words sparked a fire within her. "You can't take them down in your current state," he said, his voice soft but resolute. "But I can. I can make them pay, princess." Kaira's focus snapped to his, curiosity igniting in her eyes. "How?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Sebastian's smirk was a slow, deliberate curve of his lips. "Marry me," he said, the words dropping like a bombshell. Kaira's eyes widened, shock etched on her face.

For thousands of years, the tale of the Lycan beast who lurked the forbidden forest had been told. Every five hundred years, six females were allegedly sacrificed from the wolf village to the beast and it was rumoured that their bodies were left to rot at the entrance of the forest for all to see. Many times, this tale was retold to scare the young wolves from venturing into the forest and keep them in check, because no one wanted to be a scapegoat in the hands of the unforgiving and murderous beast. Nola Reynolds has always been a headstrong fiery pure blood who has always believed there was no Lycan beast and all the tales about him were just made up myths and fairy tales, aimed at scaring the younger ones. Little does she know that one night was all it was going to take to change her life forever. Things take an unsettling turn for Nola when she, alongside five other girls, are chosen on the night of the full moon. She is faced with the most shocking revelation of her life standing before her, in flesh and blood— The Lycan Beast. Is it her fate to run away and free herself from the hands of the predator, or does she have to give in to her sweet, twisted story of beauty and the beast?

Isadora Montreval Héritière unique du plus redouté empire clandestin de France, Isadora Montreval a grandi dans un monde où le silence est loi et l’amour, une arme. Derrière les façades de marbre et les salons dorés, elle a appris à cacher ses émotions, obéir sans faillir et survivre sans jamais fléchir. Éduquée pour gouverner, surveillée pour ne jamais s’échapper, Isadora sait depuis l’enfance que sa vie n’est pas un choix, mais un héritage. Pourtant, sous sa maîtrise apparente brûle un désir secret : disparaître. Partir loin des ombres familiales, voyager sans escorte, créer quelque chose de simple et de vrai — une pâtisserie à son nom, et non celui d’un empire criminel. Un rêve discret, presque interdit. Mais dans le monde de la mafia, les rêves sont des failles. Un mariage arrangé vient refermer la cage autour d’elle, la condamnant à renoncer à toute liberté pour devenir l’épouse parfaite d’un homme qu’elle n’a jamais choisi. ⸻ Luca Moretti Héritier de la mafia italienne, Luca Moretti n’a jamais appris à négocier ses désirs : il prend, impose, écrase. Le pouvoir est sa langue maternelle, la violence son héritage. Là où il passe, le monde s’incline — ou se brise. Quand il rencontre Isadora, bien avant que les alliances soient scellées, il comprend immédiatement : elle n’est pas fragile. Elle est verrouillée. Derrière son calme glacial, il devine la résistance, la volonté contenue, la femme capable de le défier sans un mot. Il la veut. Il peut lui offrir le luxe, la protection, un royaume entier… mais jamais ce qu’elle désire vraiment. Car une seule chose est immuable : Isadora Montreval lui appartient désormais.

This is the story of four souls Davina, Emmy, Sofia, and Max. Each searching. Each desiring. Each learning, sometimes painfully, that love never arrives clean or easy. But when it does arrive, it changes everything.
