I plead my case but If I become one of them, I will never leave this place. Unfortunately, I dug my grave, now I have to lie in my coffin while they slam the lid shut.

"Nothing you do will make me regret my decision. I do not love you. I do not want you." Anna chuckled acrimoniously at his words. She was no longer afraid of him now, she no longer cared about anything except leaving this hellhole she was in, so she continued to taunt him fearlessly. "I will never choose you, and do you know why? Because you are a rude, arrogant person who feels entitled to having someone by his side just because of some stupid mating bond!" Kodiak's hands struck out without warning and gripped her neck, choking her tightly while she flayed helplessly struggling against his grip. His face was taut with anger looking down at her with his furious red eyes boring into her soul. He replied to her with gritted words. "You are going to regret saying those words to me. You act like I am obsessed with you, but the truth is that I wouldn't be caught dead with a spoilt, selfish girl like you. This bond goes two ways, princess so that means that very soon, I am not going to be the only one suffering." -----------------------------------------------------Anne Knightley, a submissive female wolf, faces the biggest challenge of her life when she makes a grave mistake - rejecting her true mate and choosing the wrong one instead.

What do you need such a huge amount of money for?" he asked, arching his brows at her. "Can you quit the act already? Will you lend it to me or not?" she demanded, her voice coming out firm. Jake shrugged his shoulders "Why don't you be my wife instead, and you won't have to pay back a dime?“ his eyes shone with instrest which didn't last for a moment before he returned back to his stoic demeanor. A snicker escaped her lips. "Mr. Carter, are you doing this just to get back at me?" The man slowly got up from his seat and gracefully walked up to Danielle who was standing a few inches away. His lips curled up faintly as he closed the little space between them. "Do you think I'm over you, Bubbles?" He whispered into her ear, sending shivers down her spine. Will Danielle accept the offer of the same man she humiliated years ago? Are Jake's intentions towards Danielle as pure as he portrays on the surface?

The crowd starts a countdown to midnight like New Year’s Eve. I close my eyes and smile, holding Liam’s hand tightly. Everyone yells “ONE!” and cheers. I open my eyes and see the iridescent liquid light of the full moon pouring out of the giant orb flowing down over us. People around us ooh and ahh at the beautiful sight.  When the first rays of moonlight cascade over my skin, I feel a heat inside me turn into a burning fire. I gasp and look up at Liam. He looks at me with wide, surprised eyes. “Mate,” he murmurs and squeezes my hand tighter. It isn’t a comforting feeling. There are no sparks like people describe when they touch their mate. Maybe it takes a few minutes to develop. I smile and try to admire Liam, but I don't want to say it back. Nothing feels different. I still love him, but he’s not the one. Liam is looking at me, but it isn’t a look of true love. It’s lustful and carnal. I feel a pit in my stomach. Liam isn’t my mate. How can this be? And how was he able to call me his mate if he’s not mine? “Zara,” a woman’s voice says in my head, “My name is Lavender. I’m your wolf and you’re in grave danger, my dear. You need to run. You need to run now. Your life depends on it.” “My… wolf?” With everything that happened the past couple of hours, I forgot she was waking up. “L-Lavender, what’s happening? What do you know?” Lavender repeats her order. “Zara, you need to run. I can explain later. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, sweet girl.”

J'ai grandi aux côtés de l'alpha Griffith de la meute Avalora, et tout le monde disait que j'étais la femme la plus chanceuse de Merville. Pour moi, Griffith a refusé de conclure le lien sacré avec la compagne destinée que la Déesse de la Lune lui avait choisie. Il a proclamé au monde entier que j'étais son unique amour. Mais après que j'avais fait une fausse couche, j'ai surpris Griffith en train de parler à la guérisseuse : « Trouve une occasion pour droguer Luna, enlève-lui l'utérus, qu'elle ne puisse plus jamais tomber enceinte. » Puis, il a caressé le ventre d'une autre femme en disant : « Donne-lui les meilleurs remèdes pour protéger sa grossesse, je veux qu'elle donne naissance à l'enfant le plus fort et le plus intelligent. » Je connaissais cette femme : c'était Gisèle, la compagne que la Déesse de la Lune avait destinée à Griffith. J'ai entendu Griffith ajouter d'un ton grave à l'attention des autres : « Ne dites rien à Luna, prenez soin de sa santé de toutes vos forces, ou vous en paierez le prix. » Mon cœur était transpercé : je n'aurais jamais cru que l'homme qui m'aimait à la folie puisse me trahir. Plus tard, je suis partie sans dire un mot, leur laissant la voie libre. Et pourtant, il m'a dit qu'il avait perdu la capacité d'aimer.

EZREN: Kiss or kill. Those were always the two options left.. until the past walks back into my life in the form of blue eyes, ginger curls, and a tattoo he swears I should remember. Knox Graye. A diagnosed psychopath. Says he was my brother’s boyfriend. That I left him to die and that I hold the only truth to his death. He is everywhere. Digging up my lies. Ruining what’s left of my life. Call me ‘Cherry’ like it means something. I swear I hate it. I hate him. I don’t know if he wants closure, revenge, or just someone to break. Either way, I’m his target and his third option. KNOX: Everyone thinks I’ve got a loose screw in the head but they're wrong. I lost the whole damn toolbox, buried six feet under with the only person I ever loved. I've spent six years grieving. Dying in pieces while he rots away in a grave but now? Now someone else walk around in his bones, smiling with his lips like he fuckin’ owns it. Like I wouldn’t recognize my own goddamn Cherry. Except now he calls himself Ezren. Cute. He thinks he has been hiding behind top grades and golden-boy charm, but I built his whole damn maze. And now that he's close? I’m done with subtlety. I want chaos in his veins, his secrets peeled off like skin. I want to crawl into the part of his head where he still hears his brother’s laugh and whisper: “You were always mine." He doesn’t know it yet, but I’m going to dismantle him. Brick by fucking brick. And when he finally breaks, I’ll be there to offer him a choice. “Kiss or kill, Cherry?”

Sienna Calder swore she’d never touch her father’s world—Dorian Ashford, shipping mogul and billionaire king, left her mom to rot while he built his empire. She’s there to curse his grave when he dies, not to claim a dime. But his will traps her, naming her co-heir to his $50 billion legacy alongside Roman Valtieri, the brooding, hard-edged protégé who’s clawed his way into Dorian’s shadow—and now into hers. They’re to run the empire together or lose it all, and Sienna hates him for it: too slick, too close, every look a spark she doesn’t want. Then a letter from Dorian’s cold hand ignites the fire—he was murdered, and Roman’s name’s scratched beside the truth. A silver key and a vial of blood—hers, his—drag her deeper, promising answers locked in Ashford estate.But the walls crash in fast: Ezra Locke, a scarred snake with a grin like a blade, wants that key, and he’ll drown the place to get it. Roman’s her lifeline—gun drawn, hands steady, pulling her from the flood—and she loathes how his touch burns, how his voice steadies her when the water’s at her throat. Caught between rage and a pull she can’t name, Sienna fights the heat growing with every near miss—Roman’s too damn solid, too damn close, and she’s torn between shoving him away and pulling him in. The empire’s crumbling, the cliff’s falling, and Ezra’s not the only shadow circling—something darker watches, waiting. Love’s a gamble when blood’s the stake, and Sienna’s playing with a deck her father rigged. Can she trust Roman’s hands to hold her up, or will the crown they’re fighting for crush them both in its ashes?

Lors des funérailles de ma mère, mon fiancé Gervais Plessis est venu présenter ses condoléances accompagné de Célia Bocuse, et devant tout le monde, il a annoncé l'annulation de nos fiançailles, simplement pour l'épouser. Alors que tout le monde se moquait de moi, Kévin Gide, mon ami d'enfance, s'est soudainement agenouillé devant moi et m'a demandé en mariage, avouant qu'il m'aimait depuis de nombreuses années. Émue par sa sincérité, j'ai accepté de l'épouser. Trois ans après notre mariage, je n'avais toujours pas d'enfants. Kévin m'a consolée en me disant que ce n'était pas grave, que tant qu'il m'avait, c'était suffisant. Peu de temps après, j'ai entendu une conversation entre lui et notre médecin de famille : « M. Gide, les pilules contraceptives sont prêtes comme vous l'aviez demandé. Faut-il continuer à lui en donner ? » Kévin a répondu froidement : « Oui, continuez à lui donner. L'épouser était simplement une solution temporaire, et dans mon cœur, seule Célia pourra être la mère de mes enfants. » C'est là que j'ai découvert que ce que je croyais être un mariage heureux n'était en réalité qu'un mensonge. Puisqu'il ne m'aimait pas, je n'avais plus aucune raison de le garder.
