The Necklace By Guy De Maupassant

Elle pensait avoir fui les siens. Elle a couru droit vers celui-ci. Luna, 21 ans, rebelle au sarcasme affûté et au passé brumeux, débarque dans une meute qu’elle ne connaît pas, sous la “protection” d’un Alpha beaucoup trop séduisant pour être honnête. Drakos, mi-dieu nordique, mi-boulet autoritaire, ne la lâche pas d’une semelle. Officiellement pour sa sécurité. Officieusement, parce qu’elle est la clef d’un pouvoir ancien… et d’un secret qui pourrait tous les détruire. Entre entraînements musclés, batailles de regards brûlants, missions foireuses et révélations surnaturelles, Luna va devoir choisir : fuir encore, ou faire face à ce qu’elle est vraiment. Mais comment accorder sa confiance quand l’homme qui la fait vibrer est peut-être celui qui a été chargé de la livrer ? Et surtout… que faire quand la Lune saigne, que les visions deviennent réalité, et que ton cœur s’attache à ta propre malédiction ?

Ariana, the heiress to Warwick Kingdom, rejected her childhood companion, Jasper, who returned with a pregnant Omega. Reeling from the betrayal, Ariana met a mysterious merchant from Harmonia Kingdom, a weak werewolf whom Ariana couldn't smell his scent. "Who are you?" She watched him in utter disbelief. "Your merchant and I'm here because everything about you interests me.” "Is flirting all you know how to do?” "So you admit I'm a good flirt?" His smile was wider, "That makes me happy, princess." Happy that he, being born with the devil, finally met his Mate in the last year of his 3000 yrs life. The fate bonded them, so as to twist their destiny...

Ten years ago, Daryl was brutally attacked and left for dead. Now, he wakes from a coma to find a world that moved on without him. The biggest blow? Emma—his mate and the love of his life—is no longer his. She’s bonded to his best friend and Beta, and together they’re raising a son. Haunted by memories of what they once shared, Daryl is torn between reclaiming his rightful place and accepting the painful truth. But the mate bond doesn’t just disappear—and neither do old feelings. As Daryl struggles to adapt to a pack that’s changed, the connection between him and Emma reignites, threatening the fragile peace she’s built. Emma thought she’d lost Daryl forever. In his absence, she did what she had to do—grieve, survive, and find love again. But with Daryl’s return, long-buried emotions rise to the surface. Her heart is divided between loyalty to the mate who stood by her during the darkest days… and the one she never stopped loving. As tensions mount and bonds are tested, the past and present collide in a battle of love, fate, and honor. Will Emma choose the life she’s built—or the mate fate once promised her?

Akala ko tapos na ang gabi. Tahimik na ang buong bahay, pero hindi ang dibdib ko. Kagagaling lang namin sa isang party—hosted by his mother. Ang daming tao. Ang daming mata. Pero kahit na ipinakilala niya akong secretary lang, ramdam ko ang pag-aangkin sa bawat sulyap niya. Lalo na nang may lalaking lumapit sa akin. Lalo na nang ngumiti ako, kahit sandali. Doon ko siya nakita—yung paninigas ng panga, ang lalim ng tingin na parang babagsak ang langit. Kaya hindi na ako nagulat nang may kumatok. Malakas. Walang pasintabi. Pagbukas ko ng pinto, naroon siya. Si Cayden. Nakatayo sa dilim, may halong galit at silakbo sa mukha. Hindi siya nagsalita agad—dumiretso siya sa loob, isinara ang pinto, at hinila ako papunta sa kama. “Cayden, what are you—stop!” Nagpumiglas ako. Umiwas. Pero hinigpitan niya ang hawak sa braso ko. Lumuhod siya sa kama, pinilit akong mapahiga. At saka siya bumulong, malamig ang boses, pero parang nasusunog ako sa bawat salita. “Tonight, whether you like it or not… I’m going to claim you.” Nanlaki ang mata ko. Hindi ito tanong. Hindi ito pakiusap. Ito ang utos ng isang lalaking hindi kailanman tinanggihan. Hindi siya aalis. Hindi siya titigil. At ngayong gabi— Tatatakan niya ako ng pangalan niya. Kahit hindi ako handa.

Mon petit ami a été diagnostiqué avec un cancer et a besoin d'une greffe de foie. En apprenant que mon groupe sanguin et le sien étaient compatibles, je n'ai pas hésité une seconde à lui donner les deux tiers de mon foie. Après l'opération, je souffrais énormément, mais dès que j'ai repris connaissance, je suis allée immédiatement voir comment il allait. Cependant, devant la porte de sa chambre, j'ai entendu cette conversation impitoyable avec son ami : « Clovis, tu es un génie, c'est incroyable d'avoir imaginé une telle vengeance. » Clovis a ri : « Je ne voulais pas faire de vagues, j'aurais même envisagé de lui faire donner un de ses reins. C'est son juste retour. C'est de sa faute si Victoria a échoué à son examen et a dû partir étudier à l'étranger. Je vais couper les ponts avec Bélise dès que Victoria rentrera, dans un mois. »
