Une jeune femme, Ophélie, call girl par nécessité plus que par choix, vit une nuit passionnée avec un inconnu dans un hôtel de luxe. Ce moment unique, qu’elle pensait sans lendemain, la marque bien plus qu’elle ne veut l’admettre. Quand elle découvre qu’elle est enceinte, elle décide de garder l’enfant. Pourtant, l’idée de ce père absent l’obsède, et elle passe des mois à le chercher, en vain, ne connaissant ni son nom ni sa vie. Sept mois plus tard, alors qu’elle accompagne une amie invitée à un mariage, Ophélie accepte à contrecœur, persuadée que ce sera une simple distraction loin de ses préoccupations. Mais lorsque le futur marié apparaît, son cœur s’arrête : il est là, devant elle, l’homme qu’elle a tant cherché, l’inconnu de cette nuit inoubliable… et il s’apprête à épouser une autre. Déchirée entre le soulagement de l’avoir retrouvé et l’horreur de la situation, Ophélie se retrouve face à un choix impossible : révéler la vérité et bouleverser à jamais ce mariage, ou garder le silence et voir l’homme qu’elle n’a jamais cessé de chercher s’unir à une autre femme, ignorant qu’il est déjà père.

Trois jours avant les fiançailles, Lucien Thomas m'a appelée : « Reportons notre cérémonie de fiançailles d'un mois. Ce jour-là, ce sera le premier concert de Lily Moreau après son retour en France, je ne peux pas ne pas y aller. » « Ce n'est qu'un report de fiançailles, rien de grave. » C'était la troisième fois qu'il a repoussé notre cérémonie de fiançailles cette année. La première fois, c'était parce que Lily avait eu une appendicite à l'étranger et avait été hospitalisée. Il avait dit qu'il devait aller s'occuper d'elle et il s'était précipité là-bas sans attendre. La deuxième fois, c'était parce que Lily avait dit qu'elle n'allait pas bien. Craignant qu'elle ne sombre dans la dépression, il avait immédiatement réservé un billet d'avion pour l'étranger. Et c'était la troisième fois. J'ai simplement répondu d'accord, j'ai raccroché puis je me suis tournée vers l'homme élégant et fier à mes côtés : « As-tu envie de m'épouser ? » Plus tard, lors du concert de Lily, Lucien l'a pourtant laissée sans hésiter et, les yeux rougis, il s'est précipité à ma cérémonie de fiançailles. « Léa Bernard, veux-tu vraiment te fiancer avec cet homme ? »

Alpha Alvize goes to New York City for a revenge that would shake the ground of wolves. Would Elena be the angel to stop him? Or would she too, crumble under the ashes of his anger?

"What's in it for me?" He asked, raising an eyebrow at her. "You become the Alpha of Alphas" she answered, crossing her arms over her chest, holding her stance despite her racing heart. The necklace around her neck glowing under her shirt, catching the Alpha's attention. "And what's in it for you?" He asked, growing a bit more interested in her offer. Eyeing the dim light under her black shirt. "I get my revenge. So, what do you say, Alpha? Do we call it a deal?" She asked, extending her hand to shake.
