I shook my head as a dark chuckle escaped my lips. “I’m not her, Dimitri, can’t you see it? I will never be her,” My voice shook as I spoke, tears threatening to spill. Dimitri ran his fingers through his hair in distress. His usual cold demeanor slipping away as he walked towards me and grabbed me by my shoulder. I felt his fingers on my chin, forcing me to look at him. I swallowed. “You don’t understand, Dimitri,” My voice came out as a whisper. “You are in love with that woman. Not me. It has-it has never been me,” “I know who I want, Val and that person is you,” *** For years, Valeria Moore had lived her life as a substitute lover to Dimitri. She believed one day, he would see her for who she is and not as his lost mate who had the same face as her. But when Dimitri announced his engagement to Summer Wood, Val knew she couldn’t take it anymore. She wanted to cut all ties with him but now, Dimitri wasn’t ready to let her go. Not when he just realized she was pregnant for him.

J'étais l'oméga la plus insignifiante de la meute, et pourtant, je suis devenue la compagne destinée de l'alpha Adrien. À cause de mon statut inférieur, Adrien ne m'autorisait jamais à être présente lors des événements où j'aurais dû l'accompagner. J'avais organisé pour lui dix-huit grands événements, mais même pour notre anniversaire, il ne m'avait pas permis de me montrer. Jusqu'à la dix-neuvième fois, où, contre toute attente, il avait accepté que je sois présente. J'étais folle de joie. Je m'étais habillée avec soin, mais en arrivant, j'ai vu que Valérie, une autre oméga, se tenait déjà à ses côtés. Ils se tenaient la main avec tendresse, et ils avaient remplacé la vidéo souvenir que j'avais préparée avec soin par une compilation de leurs moments. Adrien, enlaçant Valérie, m'a regardée avec dégoût : « Ma Luna doit être reconnue par tous les membres de la meute. De toute façon, Claire, tu n'as jamais eu le statut officiel de Luna. Valérie a été reconnue bien avant toi. À partir d'aujourd'hui, c'est elle qui te remplacera comme Luna. » Tous les membres de la meute qui me connaissaient attendaient que je perde le contrôle, que je devienne folle. Mais je ne me suis pas mise en colère. En réalité, je me suis sentie presque soulagée. Parce que le contrat entre lui et moi allait prendre fin dans trois jours.

"Mom, Dad, I’ve decided to come home for the blind dates you mentioned. I’ll be back by the end of the month." In the early spring, with the lingering chill of winter in the air, Valerie Stonecutter pushed open the door while speaking softly into the phone. Her gentle voice drifted through the rain like a thread weaving through the mist. Pulling her collar tighter against the cold, she heard her parents breathe a sigh of relief on the other end. "Val," her father began, his voice heavy with age. “Your mom and I haven’t been in good health these past few years. So now that you’ve made up your mind, that’s good. When you’re back, I’ll have your Aunt Laura arrange a few suitable candidates for you to meet." Hearing that her parents were already making arrangements for her future, Valerie’s gaze flickered, her emotions momentarily unsettled. After a few more words of small talk, she ended the call. She glanced around her home with a heavy heart, her thoughts tangled in a quiet storm. Then she retreated to her bedroom and began to pack.

Pendant trois ans, j’ai attendu de devenir la Luna parfaite pour ma meute et de donner un héritier à l’Alpha. Trois ans de mensonges m’ont transformée en une intruse dans l’amour de quelqu’un d’autre. Trois ans pour souffrir de la mort de mon bébé et chercher vengeance contre l’homme qui a défiguré mon visage et détruit mon utérus. Être capturée par ma propre meute et mourir, ou m’échapper et survivre : c’étaient mes deux seules options. J’ai choisi de me cacher et de vivre. Le Roi Lycan, Alain Turpin était le souverain le plus sanguinaire et impitoyable qui dirigeait les loups-garous d’une main de fer. Je suis devenue sa domestique personnelle, la position la plus dangereuse, où je pouvais perdre la vie à tout moment pour la moindre erreur. Mais personne de mon passé ne me chercherait jamais ici. « Toujours soumise. Ne parle pas, n’écoute pas, ne vois rien, ne dérange pas le Lycan, ou tu mourras. » Des règles simples à suivre. Je pensais bien m’en sortir jusqu’au jour où le Roi m’a fait une offre que je ne pouvais pas refuser. « Tu veux que je sauve ces gens ? Alors rends-toi à moi ce soir. Sois la mienne. Je te désire, et je sais que tu ressens la même chose. Juste une fois, Valérie... Une seule fois. » Mais ce n’était pas qu’une fois. Et la passion s’est transformée en amour. Cet homme froid et indomptable a aussi conquis mon cœur. Cependant, quand le passé revient me hanter et que la vérité sur ma naissance est révélée, je dois faire un choix une fois de plus : fuir le Roi Lycan ou attendre sa clémence. « Je suis désolée, mais cette fois, je ne perdrai pas mes petits à nouveau. Pas même pour toi, Alain. » Je m’appelle Valérie Von Calvet, et ceci est mon histoire d’amour compliquée avec le Roi Lycan.
