Under The Table

"Vous connaissez la définition du Libre arbitre ? Je vous fais un petit rappel : c'est la volonté libre, non contrainte. Et celle du Destin ? 1. Puissance qui fixerait de façon irrévocable le cours des événements. 2. Ensemble des évènements qui composent la vie d'un être humain (souvent considérés comme résultant de causes distinctes de sa volonté). Vous voyez où je veux en venir ? Non ? L'un ne va pas avec l'autre ! Et dans mon monde, le libre arbitre n'a pas l'air d'être vainqueur. Ce n'est pas faute d'avoir essayé ! Mais je me suis bien plantée..." Tanya a grandi loin de sa meute pour sa protection personnelle. Elle n'a jamais su contre qui ou contre quoi elle devait être protégée, elle le découvre peu avant ses 18 ans. Sa vie jusque-là si calme et monotone, s'accélère et s'épanouit mais tout part en vrille. Tanya n'est pas une louve comme les autres, c'est une chimère. Tanya va traverser de nombreuses épreuves, espérant chaque fois réussir à contrecarrer les plans de la déesse de la lune, mais peut-on vraiment battre une déesse à son propre jeu ?

After receiving the report for an STD test, I went back to the barbeque restaurant, and there I ran into a young woman who was about three months pregnant. She asked me to let her cut in line, and, feeling sorry for her, I agreed to help her out. I quickly made arrangements for her and made sure she had a seat. But to my shock, after she finished her meal, she had a miscarriage. The girl posted about the incident online, and before I knew it, I was trending on social media, facing a wave of cyberbullying. The internet users went even further, digging up my health records and finding that everything came back positive. [She's positive for everything—she's clearly a woman with a messy private life!] [No wonder she caused the woman's miscarriage just by being near her—she's a biological hazard!] The cyberbullying got so bad that it pushed me into depression. Even my fiancé turned against me, accusing me of being filthy and breaking up with me. The emotional weight became too much, and in my pain, I drove straight into a reservoir. Meanwhile, the girl gained millions of followers online and skyrocketed to fame as a popular influencer. It was only after I died that I learned the shocking truth—this girl was my fiancé's first love. To boost her own popularity, she and my fiancé had come up with this entire scheme together. When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day when she asked me to let her cut in line.

She’d escaped me once. She’d not do it again. I am the brother of the Alpha of the Asara Pack. I did everything she asked of me. She was a queen up on her throne. I was her Captain of the Guard. Her secret assassin killing anyone who'd threaten her. I had declared my intent to claim her as my mate. And she had fled. Like the coward she is. Still she went ahead and seduced me, bidding me do whatever vile thing she commanded. Now she claims to rule this kingdom. However, her people are starving and her new fiancé is to blame. But will she hear a word of it? Of course not! Well, I've found a way to make her listen. To no longer allow her to deny what she really is. To rip her from her sanctuary amongst the humans. It's high time she learn a she-wolf’s place in this realm. She needs a real king, and it won't be that sniveling lord with designs on her. It's going to be me. She’ll learn I'm no longer hers to command. She is mine.

Dans ma vie précédente, j'avais utilisé l'enfant que je portais pour obliger Richard Reynold à m'épouser. Le jour de notre mariage, sa bien-aimée, Élise Brie, s'était jetée dans la mer pour mettre fin à ses jours. Elle avait laissé une lettre qui disait : « Le véritable amour ne rivalise jamais avec le pouvoir et l'argent. J'ai perdu. » Quand Richard avait appris sa mort, il était resté impassible. Il avait même célébré notre mariage avec un sourire tranquille aux lèvres. Mais, le jour du troisième anniversaire de notre fils, Richard nous avait emmenés faire de la plongée sous-marine. À trois cents pieds de profondeur, il avait arraché le tuyau de nos bouteilles d'oxygène et nous avait fait tous deux sombrer dans l'abîme. Après ma mort, ma conscience ne s'était pas éteinte tout de suite. Sous forme d'esprit, j'ai vu Richard déposer mon corps devant la tombe d'Élise, comme une offrande. Il avait murmuré : « Élise, je t'ai enfin vengée. J'espère que tu pourras reposer en paix, maintenant. » Puis ma vision s'était obscurcie. Et lorsque j'avais rouvert les yeux… Je m'étais retrouvée cette nuit-là, celle où je m'apprêtais à utiliser mon fils pour forcer Richard à m'épouser.

Luna is a fierce vaewolf hybrid from the Alpha Family. They think that if she will be mated to another powerful immortal, they will dominate the omega and beta families in the underground world. Luna agreed to be mated to another immortal in one condition. He should be stronger than her or as strong as she is. Many tried to be her mate, yet no one could beat her. Until Lucien showed on the battleground, the immortal who owns her heart. But there is a rule, once the two immortal enter the battleground, only the strongest shall remain alive and the other should die. Unless both of them possessed the same strength and power. Luna felt fear. She’s afraid that the pure-blooded vampire she loves will turn into ashes with her own hands. She knows that a vaewolf hybrid like her can only love once in her entire life. Will she sacrifice her happiness for the sake of the Alpha Family even if it means killing him, or she will break the rule of the underground world and run away with him?

The moon goddess hosted a feast on a full moon night and an alpha was born on that night. Drunk to stupor from all the drinking at the feast, the moon goddess makes a blunder and mates the alpha with a human. It's irreversible because it has been scripted in their destiny and they'll be mated for eternity no matter how many times they are reborn. Alpha Dominic, the alpha that was mated to a human grows up thirty years later still without a mate so his father consults a priest and he's told of his unknown destiny; being mated to a human. His father is horrified but Dominic's happy to finally know he has a mate after so many years. Samantha Cosgrove, a mate to the alpha but has no idea about it, is a married woman and a baker that owns a bakery in the city. She finds out her husband's cheating on her and files a divorce immediately. With her alimony and her savings, she moves elsewhere to start afresh. Unknown to her, her bakery is just at the outskirts of alpha Dominic's pack.  Fate brings them to meet each other and alpha Dominic knows he's met his mate once he sees her. He makes advances towards her and Sparks fly; she's instantly drawn to him too. Fate seems to test their bond though on several occasions and we're left to wonder if Samantha will accept Dominic for who he is, if she will survive being the mate to a werewolf or if they'll eventually end up together happily despite all odds.

Amira Altaha has lived her entire 18 years alongside the natural - and supernatural. In her hometown city of Morrowfalls, it isn't unknown to be working side by side with a furry friend, or scaly, or one that floats. She can't imagine life without this diverse culture, especially not her longtime boyfriend, Isaac Lund. Despite their differences of her being a human and him being a werewolf, it takes one meeting during junior year of high school for them to fall head over heels for each other. Amira understands that one day Isaac might find his mate in someone who isn't her, but he makes his own vow to be with her until the very end. This promise is upheld for five blissful years - until the day Isaac turns 18, and meets Eris Morin, daughter to the Alpha of the Silverhowl Pack - and his new mate. ~ “Is this another attempt at avoiding me?” he asks. Goosebumps rise on her skin as his lower lip subtly brushes against hers while he speaks, his breath warm and sweet on her tongue. “What if it is?” She is surprised at how strong her voice sounds despite how much her chest is trembling. His fingers tighten their grip on her chin and waist, his already dark eyes darkening further. “I’ll say this only once so listen close, sweetheart – there isn’t anywhere in this world you can go where I won’t find you, and as cute as this game of dog and squirrel has been, I am only willing to play for so long. It’s best for you to give up now; I always win.”
