Transformers Ultra Magnus Prime

I'm Jax Ryder, heir to the most powerful investment group in Veridian City. I had just returned from studying abroad. My father, worried I might impulsively marry the wrong woman, arranged a marriage for me with Everly, the heiress to the up-and-coming Sinclair Group. It was strictly a business arrangement. But that didn't mean I intended to just go through the motions. At the very least, I had to personally bid on the mansion that would serve as our marital home. And so, I found myself at the annual Starlight Charity Gala. When the legendary prime real estate, the "Siren's Cove Estate," was presented as the final auction item, I raised my paddle. Just as the gavel was about to fall, an arrogant voice cut through the room. "What right does a nobody like you have to bid? Step aside." The grand hall fell silent, the only sound the frantic clicking of camera shutters from all corners. I turned my head. A man in a flashy, sequined suit stood there. He swirled the champagne in his glass, his posture reeking of arrogance. Before I could even speak, the auctioneer brought the gavel down. "Sold! Congratulations to Mr. Brian Vance on winning the 'Siren's Cove Estate'!" I frowned, a flicker of anger rising within me. "The bidding wasn't over." "That's against the rules." Brian sneered. He looked me up and down, his eyes filled with contempt. "The rules?" He curled his lip. "Listen up. I'm Everly Sinclair's favorite stepbrother. In Veridian City, what I say goes." I had to stop myself from laughing out loud. This was interesting. My fiancée's stepbrother. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number. "Everly, your dear brother just snatched the marital home I'd picked out. What are you going to do about it?"

En 2150, l’humanité a évolué. La raison a cédé du terrain face à l’instinct. Leïla Faure est une oméga de dix-huit ans qui refuse de se laisser définir par sa biologie. Célèbre, indépendante et déjà engagée dans une relation qu’elle croit stable, elle pense encore pouvoir choisir sa vie. Jusqu’au jour où une promesse ancienne la rattrape. Promise à Caleb Gilles, l’alpha le plus puissant de la ville, Leïla est contrainte de quitter son monde pour vivre sous le même toit qu’un homme qui la méprise. Caleb, façonné par une société où l’instinct prime sur tout, ne voit en elle qu’une opportuniste prête à tout pour un nom et un statut. Entre tensions, affrontements et silences lourds de sens, la cohabitation devient un champ de bataille. Mais lorsque les premières chaleurs de Leïla s’annoncent et entrent en résonance avec le rut de Caleb, la situation bascule. Car dans ce monde, le corps décide avant l’esprit. Et résister à l’instinct peut avoir un prix. Entre promesse imposée et choix interdit, Leïla devra décider jusqu’où elle est prête à aller pour rester maîtresse de son destin. Et Caleb devra prouver qu’un alpha peut faire plus qu’imposer sa loi. Il devra tenir une promesse. Même si cela va contre sa nature.
