To Poison A King

J'ai été infectée par l'aconit lunaire, une maladie chronique, et j'ai fait face à la mort. Mais le seul antidote, la Panacée rouge, a été acheté par mon compagnon Léo et offert à ma demi-sœur Jeanne, simplement parce qu'il pensait que je faisais semblant d'être malade. J'ai abandonné le traitement conservateur et avalé des analgésiques puissants. Le prix à payer : ils me tueraient en trois jours, en faisant atrophier mes organes. Durant ces trois jours, j'ai tout abandonné : Quand j'ai offert ma filature, bâtie de mes propres mains, à Jeanne, mes parents m'ont félicitée : « Enfin, Viviane sait aimer sa sœur. » Quand j'ai proposé à Léo de rompre notre lien, il a souri : « Tu deviens enfin compréhensive. » Quand j'ai ordonné à mon fils d'appeler Jeanne « Maman », le petit a ri : « Jeanne est la plus gentille du monde ! » Lorsque j'ai transféré toutes mes économies à Jeanne, personne n'a perçu l'anormalité. Ils ont simplement hoché la tête, satisfaits : « Viviane n'est plus aussi mauvaise qu'avant. » Mais après ma mort, regretteraient-ils leurs actions ?

"Strip." Alpha Callister's voice cut through the room like a blade, sending a shiver down Eileen’s spine. She wished he hadn't returned from his meeting... wished he would leave her in peace. But peace was never meant for her. He used her for his amusement, a prisoner in his grasp, and she didn’t know if she’d ever escape. "I won't say it again. Strip," he commanded again, his voice filled with venom. "Isn't this what you wanted? You drugged me so I’d sleep with you, hoping to change your miserable status. Now you're the Luna of this pack, and all you can do is kneel and worship the ground I walk on." "I…" The words stuck in her throat. She wanted to tell him she never drugged him. But he would never believe her. "Your father tried to steal my birthright and we killed him along with your mother," Callister sneered. "And you? You made sure I took you so you'd be important again." Hatred burned deep in Eileen’s chest. She would make the Haemont family pay for what they did to her parents. Stripping her of her identity wasn’t enough. Now, as his wife and his Luna, Callister stripped away her dignity every night. But she endured. Because one day, she would be strong enough. One day, she would avenge her parents' death.

“I would rather be alone tonight.” I wasn’t prepared to sleep with this man. He had first taken my first kiss and now he wanted all of my body before the day was over. “People don’t tell me no Emily.” His hand caressed my cheeks down to my neck before hovering over my cleavage. “I say want I want and they go ahead and do it.” “What if they say no?” I asked, breathless. His fingers were bringing reactions I couldn’t name, shutting my brain down, his fingers left my windpipe but I felt breathless. It seemed like his fingers became bolder with each breath I took. I didn’t know what his arms were doing behind my back till I felt my gown fall loose. “They never say no,” he repeated, sealing his words with a kiss behind my ears, drawing another gasp from my throat.

In the small kingdom of Satia, a momentous announcement was made - Princess Mia had been declared the next in line for the throne. However, there was a catch - the kingdom's rules stated that in order to become queen, the princesses must first be married. For centuries, the tradition had been for the parents to select potential noble candidates from all over the nation. But Princess Mia was determined to change this law by finding a way around it. Just as she was plotting her next move, a golden opportunity presented itself in the form of Anisel, who had his sights set on the throne. With the help of some allies, he managed to transform his image from a kingdom's fugitive to a "noble" worthy of the princess's hand. However, they soon realized that they were facing a challenge they had not anticipated - falling in love. Would their desires for power and control overshadow their feelings for each other, or would love conquer all and become everything they had ever dreamed of? Only time would tell.

A rogue attack shattered my wolf, costing me my birthright as the pack's heir. But my mate, Alpha Kael, seemed devoted to me. For three years, he injected me with a "Lunar Essence" he claimed would help me heal. I thought he was the only wolf who truly loved me. I never imagined he was poisoning me with Silver Dust, a suppressant designed to crush my wolf's spirit. All to ensure my wolf would never reawaken, securing my adopted sister Selene's claim as the pack's Alpha heir. My hands shook, my world turning to ash, as I opened his safe. Inside was the proof. From the rogue attack to the loss of my wolf, it was all a conspiracy orchestrated by Kael and Selene. That night, I pulled the burner phone from my drawer and dialed a number I'd sworn I'd never call. "Grandfather, I'm coming home. I'll be there in seven days. Please send someone for me."

My sister poisoned me. All because her mate was a pale shadow next to mine. Now, I'm back where it all began. The Mating Ceremony, five years ago. In my last life, Sarah and I chose our mates at the Pack Alliance gala. She chose the most powerful Alpha, the future Alliance leader, Damon. But she could never bear him a pup. Damon despised her. He abused her. He even went feral during his curse and nearly killed her. She shoved me toward Liam, the Alpha of a failing pack. She never guessed Liam’s power would explode, that he’d one day tear the title of High Alpha from Damon’s grasp. Then, on the day of Liam's coronation, Sarah poisoned me out of jealousy. I opened my eyes again. We were back at the mate selection ceremony. Sarah announced to everyone she was choosing Liam, and I was shoved toward her ex-mate, Damon. But I suddenly heard her inner scream: [Die, Elena. Just die! You and that rabid wolf Damon can go to hell together. Liam will still be High Alpha, and I will be the ultimate Luna!] But I just smirked as I stumbled into Damon’s arms. Sarah had no idea. The “perfect mate” she’d chosen was already plotting to consume her very soul.
