Transformers Shattered Glass Au

Son regard se posa de nouveau sur moi, lent et scrutateur. Puis, sans prévenir, ses mains se levèrent et se refermèrent sur ma gorge. Je haletai, griffant instinctivement ses bras. Il ne bougea pas. Désobéis-moi encore, dit-il d'une voix basse et froide, et la prochaine fois, on ne comptera pas. Même tremblante, je relevai le menton. Alors ne confonds pas silence et obéissance, dis-je d'une voix rauque. La voix de Carlino suivit, calme, absolue, comme si de rien n'était. Ferme-la à clé ce soir. C'est alors que tout s'est stabilisé. Il n'y avait aucune pitié. Aucune exagération. Chaque mot, chaque menace, il les pensait vraiment. Il ne prétendait pas être le diable. Il ne prenait tout simplement pas la peine de le cacher. --- Elle le hait. Il refuse de se laisser la désirer. Lina Gray n'aurait jamais cru que l'amour la trahirait. Jusqu'à ce que l'homme en qui elle avait confiance la trahisse pour éponger ses dettes. Livrée entre les mains de Carlino Lacentra, le parrain de la mafia dont le nom suffit à imposer sa loi, Lina est privée de tout choix et couronnée Donna pour s'assurer un trône qu'elle n'a jamais désiré. Dans son monde, le pouvoir fait loi, la loyauté est monnaie courante, et une femme aux côtés du roi n'est jamais une simple femme.

In a land ruled by the iron law of fate, being moonbound is a death sentence. Sevia, born under the cursed omen of the twin moons, has always felt hunted by shadows—especially the one in her dreams: a silver-eyed stranger who haunts her every night, whispering her name like a vow and a warning. When she flees an unwanted marriage and joins the mysterious Starveil Caravan Clan, she discovers that the man from her dreams is real—and far more dangerous than she imagined. Kael, a masked fugitive prince, is cursed with blood-magic that devours everything he touches—including her. Bound by fate, drawn to each other by a magic older than the gods, they fight a bond that threatens to consume them both. Because if they give in, it might not just cost them their lives—it might unmake the world. Some threads were never meant to be severed. But some should never have been woven at all.

In her past life, when a truck barreled toward them, Lillian Hogan instinctively pushed Elton Ruiz out of harm's way. She paid the price with both her legs crushed. When she woke up in the hospital, the aloof, noble man lowered his head for the first time. Standing by her bedside, he promised to marry her. Tearfully, she accepted the proposal from the man she'd loved since she was eight. But after the wedding, Elton often stayed out all night. His attitude toward her grew cold and harsh. When an infection from her injuries left her on the brink of death, the billionaire didn't spare a single penny for her care. "I never thanked you for saving my life," he said. "Our marriage was a mistake from the start. Let me go." His face grim, he pulled out her oxygen tube. Lillian's eyes widened in shock. In the agony of betrayal and heartbreak, she took her last breath. If she could do it all over again, she vowed never to love Elton again.

« Tout a commencé par une vengeance. Ça a fini par devenir quelque chose de dangereusement réel. » « Épouse-moi », dit-elle d'un ton sarcastique. « Pourquoi pas ? » répond-il avec un sourire en coin. « Je me disais justement qu'il me fallait une fiancée. » Emma n'aurait jamais imaginé se retrouver faussement fiancée à Liam Carter, le puissant patron de son ex. Mais après une demande en mariage impulsive, elle est prise au piège d'un jeu dont elle ne peut s'échapper. Liam Carter n'est pas n'importe qui : c'est le patron puissant et énigmatique de Ryan. Et il est plus que ravi de jouer le jeu. Ce qui commence comme un jeu de vengeance pervers se transforme en une supercherie à haut risque qu'aucun d'eux ne peut se permettre de perdre. Se faisant passer pour un couple lors de soirées fastueuses et s'échappant dans un paradis ensoleillé, Emma se sent attirée par l'intensité contenue de Liam, et lui par son tempérament fougueux. Mais lorsque Ryan découvre leur secret et menace de les dénoncer, le jeu devient mortel. Alors que les mensonges se dévoilent et que les trahisons cachées font surface, Emma et Liam doivent décider : était-ce jamais qu'un jeu, ou leur mascarade est-elle devenue la chose la plus réelle qu'ils aient jamais connue ?

On my wedding day, my fiancée's adopted younger brother, Jason Sanders, suddenly stood up to toast us as we were exchanging rings. "The first toast is for my sister. She gave herself to me last night so that I wouldn't feel insecure, making me her first man." After he said that, he kissed my fiancée, ignoring the strange looks from everyone. "The second toast is for my brother-in-law. Don't be fooled by my sister's usual aloof demeanor around you; she's actually very passionate in bed. Even though you're impotent, you've still struck gold." My fiancée, Wendy Sanders, covered his mouth in a hurry and tried to laugh it off. "He’s just rambling because he's drunk. Just ignore him." But Jason broke free from Wendy and looked at me challengingly. "The third toast is for everyone. Since Wendy is getting married today, I would like to personally put the ring on her finger. I'm sure no one has any objections, right?"

« Tu vas me tuer pour t'avoir trahi ? » demandai-je, le cœur battant la chamade. Il s'approcha, me saisit par le cou et me murmura à l'oreille : « Enlève tes vêtements et écarte les jambes pour moi, petit oiseau. » Il était le parrain de la mafia, impitoyable, craint, et il devait une épouse. Mon frère était criblé de dettes. Pour sauver sa peau, il m'a vendue à la Cosa Nostra. À l'homme qui m'avait été promis, Damiano Lombardi, l'homme le plus dangereux de la famille criminelle new-yorkaise. Mais au lieu d'accepter mon sort, j'ai fui – loin, vite, sans me retourner. Des années plus tard, il me retrouve. Je pensais qu'il me tuerait pour l'avoir déshonoré. Mais Damiano ne veut pas ma mort, il veut se venger, obtenir son obéissance… et m'avoir. Ce qui avait commencé comme un mariage arrangé se transforme en une obsession dangereuse. Damiano Lombardi n'est plus seulement l'homme que j'ai fui. C'est lui dont je ne peux m'échapper : son contact, sa fureur, son amour. Mais dans l'ombre de notre passé, des ennemis guettent. Et dans ce monde, l'amour n'est pas un refuge. C'est une arme. Damiano était un véritable dieu grec. Les filles se jetaient à ses pieds et je me croyais si différente d'elles, mais je me trompais.

The pills I keep by my bedside have been swapped with vitamins. I almost die after getting a heart attack. After the stent surgery, I ask my husband, Evan Whitmore, to find out who did it. I just want the truth. However, he doesn't even look up and just brushes me off. "It was just a mistake. Cecilia probably grabbed the wrong bottle. She bought those vitamins for me. "Don't push this. She has asthma. She can't handle stress." I stare at him in shock, my chest tightening. I can't tell if the pain is from my healing heart or from the words he just threw at me. Cecilia Monroe is his secretary, and he always takes her side. That moment is when I realize that our five years of marriage mean nothing to him at all.

After my father-in-law, Oswald Leyton, is diagnosed with a complicated form of heart disease, I rush to Germasia for an intensive training on the most advanced medical technique just so that I can operate on him and treat his condition. When I return home after the training three months later, I gleefully find my husband, Nicholas Leyton, to tell him about the good news that I have mastered the technique. The plane lands. However, the luxury car that should have come for me turns out to be a broken-down van instead. Someone throws a sack over my head, and I can hear Nicholas' cold laughter next to me. "Did you have lots of fun with your boytoy overseas for the last three months, Victoria Rosewood?" After he and a few other men force themselves on me multiple times, Nicholas slides open the door, planning to abandon me in the wilderness. "Nicholas! You can't do this to me! I'm pregnant…" I try to explain myself, throwing myself at him despite all the cuts and bruises on my body. However, Nicholas gets even angrier after hearing that and forcefully shoves me aside. I feel an excruciating pain coming from my lower abdomen. Warm, sticky blood starts flowing down my thighs. Then, my vision blacks out, and I lose consciousness altogether.

Zina gave everything—her heart, her trust, and two years of her life—to the mate who betrayed her. Pregnant and shattered, she cast him out of her life, vowing never to let him hurt her again. Years later, Zina has rebuilt herself, rising as a respected doctor in her pack. But her quiet life unravels when she discovers a hidden power within her—one that marks her as more than just an ordinary wolf. Just as she begins to embrace her new identity, Xaden, the mate who broke her, returns—begging for forgiveness and a second chance. To make matters worse, Zina finds herself fated to not one but two mates, pulling her into a dangerous web of love, deceit, and power struggles. With old wounds reopening and new threats emerging, Zina must decide whether to risk her heart again—or protect herself and the child she swore to keep safe.

"I, King Zachariah Fenrir, pack Alpha to the Alpha pack, cast you, Aurora Fenrir out. From this moment forth, you are no longer worthy." A strangled cry rang out across the silence, it took me a moment to realize it was coming from me, my knees buckled and I hit the soft grass in the pasture. It felt as if someone was sticking a white hot branding iron into my chest, I was struggling to breathe. My fathers voice cut through the silence once more. "Run my child, because when we find you, there will be no saving you." And I did run, I ran as fast as I could.
