Victor Sullivan Uncharted

Isadora, une femme aussi séduisante que manipulatrice, n’a qu’un seul but : vivre dans le luxe. Lorsqu’elle séduit Adrien de Vallières, héritier d’une immense fortune, elle le pousse rapidement au mariage. En secret, elle entretient une liaison passionnée avec Victor, un homme ambitieux et sans scrupule. Ensemble, ils élaborent un plan : tuer Adrien, maquiller sa mort en accident et s’emparer de sa fortune. Mais le soir prévu, tout dérape. Le corps d’Adrien disparaît mystérieusement après l’incendie de leur villa. Isadora fait son deuil en public, hérite de tout… et s’enfuit avec Victor. Jusqu’au jour où, des mois plus tard, Adrien réapparaît. Vivant. Froid. Transformé. Il savait. Il a tout vu, tout entendu. Et désormais, c’est lui qui tire les ficelles. Isadora découvre trop tard qu’elle a épousé un homme bien plus dangereux qu’elle ne l’imaginait. La vengeance d’Adrien ne sera ni rapide, ni propre. Elle sera lente, psychologique, et d’une cruauté calculée.

I was the perfect wife. For three years, I built my husband’s empire, gave him my love, my loyalty, my designs. And how did Victor Hale repay me? He stole my womb. He stole my daughter. He stole my freedom. That was the day Aurora Hale died. Now I live as Rhea Ashford — and I want blood. One reckless night, I mistake Damien Voss, a ruthless crime-lord biker with a wicked smile, for his powerful CEO twin brother. One bed. One touch. One unforgettable sin. When Damien discovers who I am and what I want, he makes me a deal: marry him, and he’ll give me the power and protection to ruin the man who destroyed me. It’s easy. He wants me, so I become his bride. I want revenge, so he becomes my weapon. But Damien isn’t just temptation in leather and ink. He’s dangerous. Addictive. A man who plays by no rules but his own. And in this contract marriage tangled with lust and lies, I can’t tell if I’m the one using him— Or if he’s already claimed me as his. TW: This story is intended for 18+ mature audiences only.

Son secret. Sa honte. Son âme sœur. **** « Paige Murphy ? Comme si elle était plus qu’une simple remplaçante. » **** Pendant des années, Paige Murphy s’est accrochée à un seul et fragile espoir : qu’un jour, son âme sœur destinée, le puissant Héritier Alpha Blaze Sullivan, la reconnaîtrait enfin comme sienne. Il était l’homme qui l’avait sauvée du cauchemar de son enfance, abusée par sa mère et son beau-père. Il était devenu sa lumière, son protecteur, le père de son enfant. Pourtant, au grand jour, elle n’est pour lui qu’une louve faible qu’il garde dans l’ombre, sans jamais officialiser leur lien, sans jamais faire d’elle sa Luna. La cruelle vérité la blesse plus profondément que n’importe quelle lame, mais c’est leur fille gravement malade, dont les soins dépendent de sa fortune, qui la maintient enchaînée à lui. Paige sait qu’elle doit rester, même si son cœur se brise, mais Blaze ne prévoit que d'épouser Eileen et compte bien la forcer à rester comme sa maîtresse. Il croit détenir tout le pouvoir, car sa faible Oméga n’a nulle part où aller. Il a tort… car Paige Murphy n’est pas celle qu’il croit. Un amour bâti sur des mensonges et brisé par la trahison peut-il jamais être réparé, ou l’Héritier Alpha a-t-il perdu sa véritable âme sœur à jamais ?

When the half-mile sprint test is about to begin, Quiana Sullivan, the class president, and I have applied to be exempted from it. My own mother, who's the homeroom teacher of my class, approves Quiana's application with a smile. But she then throws mine to the floor. "You're having a chest pain, you say? I can't believe you're able to come up with such lies just to avoid the half-mile sprint! I'd have known if you had a heart condition! "Quiana is weak by nature, not to mention she's on her period right now, so she can't handle the agony. What about you, hmm? You've always been perfectly healthy, yet now you're telling me that you're suffering from heart pain? "Don't go around embarrassing me just because you want to slack off! I don't want others claiming that I'm being biased toward my own child! As long as you're still alive and kicking, you must finish the half-mile course no matter what!" Left without a choice, I can only return to the field. The cold wind makes me feel even dizzier now. My heart keeps contracting uncontrollably against my will. Suddenly, it just stops pumping. The next thing I know, I collapse onto the grassy field heavily. When my consciousness is about to flicker to darkness, my mom finally walks over to me. But she merely kicks my arm with a frown on her face, and her tone remains glacial. "Stop playing dead. Get up right now." She doesn't realize that I can never open my eyes ever again. Isn't this great, Mom? No one will ever claim that you're biased toward your own child. I've used my life to prove how fair and just you are. You must be happy now, right?

Spain – isang tahimik na parke. Isang araw na dapat ay tulad ng iba, ngunit isang pamilyar na presensya ang yumanig sa mundo ko. "Mommy!" Napalingon ako sa sigaw ni Selene, mabilis na tumatakbo palapit sa akin. Kasunod niya si Cassian, mahigpit na nakahawak sa kamay ng isang matangkad na lalaki. Isang lalaki na hindi ko kailanman inakalang muli kong makikita. Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko. Hindi maaari. Dahan-dahan siyang lumuhod, bahagyang tinatapik ang ulo ni Cassian bago bumaling sa akin. "They got lost," malamig ngunit malalim ang tono niya. "I figured their mother would be worried." Napalunok ako, hindi makapagsalita. Alam kong nakita niya. Alam kong ramdam niya. "You…" bulong ko, halos hindi lumalabas ang boses ko. Ngunit bago pa ako makakilos, isang mas mabigat na presensya ang lumunod sa paligid. "Seraphina!" Napapitlag ako nang marinig ang boses ng taong matagal ko nang tinakasan. Si Daddy kasama si Mommy… at si Victor Alaric Vasquez. Malamig ang titig ni Daddy nang mapadako ang tingin niya sa kambal. "Who are these children?" malamig niyang tanong. Bago pa ako makasagot, isang malakas na tinig ang pumuno sa hangin. "They're mine." Napalingon ako sa kanya sa lalaking minsan ko lang nakilala ngunit ngayo'y handang ipaglaban ako.

Victor and I were nothing more than a pair of sworn enemies married inside the camp. He hated me for handing over my frail sister to the research institute, all so they could extract the antiviral serum from her blood. And I hated him for never seeing anyone but her, even in the apocalypse, when she could barely lift a metal rod. For the ten years of the apocalypse, the words we said to each other most often were, "Die a miserable death." … However, when the zombie horde finally broke through the last line of defense, he chained me to the modified mech truck and went out alone to face it. "Live…" I watched as the tide of corpses swallowed him whole, the crack of breaking bones mixing with the sound of flesh being torn apart. On the edge of death, he pulled out my sister's faded photo and placed it over the one clean spot on his chest. "This life is yours. But if there's a next one, don't go near her again." … That night, when I returned, I blew up the camp. When I opened my eyes again, I went to the zombie king. His razor-sharp claws closed around my throat, and I smiled as I took hold of his hand. "Let's make a deal. Give humans five more years, and I'll willingly be your queen." Last time, he gave his life to save me. This time, I'll be the monster—so they can all get what they want.

I thought divorce would free me from Roland Voss, the man who turned our marriage into a gilded prison. But walking away from a Voss isn’t freedom. It’s war. The press calls me a gold-digger. His lawyers call me a liability. And Roland? He just smirks across his mahogany desk and murmurs, “You’ll never escape me, Aliyah. Not while you carry my name.” I swore I’d never shatter again until I met him. Dominic Voss. Roland’s younger brother. The man I shouldn’t even look at, let alone want. He sees the cracks in me no one else bothers to notice. When the world turns its back, Dominic leans close and whispers, “Let me protect you. Even if it means going against my own blood.” Every stolen glance is treason. Every brush of his hand sets me on fire. And when Victor Hale, a rival billionaire with teeth sharper than Roland’s, circles closer, I realize I’ve become the prize in a game where men like them never lose. But I’m not the same woman Roland once broke. This time, I’m willing to risk everything, scandal, ruin, even the wrath of the dynasty that branded me theirs to choose the man who makes me feel alive. The question is… Will my freedom cost me my heart? Or will loving Dominic ignite a war that none of us survive?

They called me wolfless. Useless. A disgrace to the pack. For eighteen years, I lived with their hate, holding on to one small hope that my fated mate would see something good in me. But I was wrong. Alpha Victor didn’t just reject me, he broke me in front of everyone, tearing my heart to pieces and throwing me out like I was nothing. But the wild doesn’t destroy everyone it touches. Sometimes, it wakes them up. When the hunters chased me into the dark, something inside me broke free. Shadows burst from my skin. Power I never knew I had filled the air. That’s when I finally saw the truth they’d kept from me: I was never wolfless. I am the last Shadow Wolf, a bloodline feared, hunted, and nearly wiped out by the same Alphas who rule us. Now, the Alpha King, Damon Blackthorn, has found me. Cold. Ruthless. Dangerous. He’s the strongest wolf alive and the bond between us burns hotter than anything I’ve ever known. But he doesn’t want love. He wants power. And I want revenge. They tried to crush me. They tried to erase me. But you can’t kill a queen who rose from the shadows. --- “You think you can control me, Alpha King?” “I don’t think, little wolf. I do.” — A dark love story about pain, power, and a dangerous bond that could destroy them both.

In the cold, sunless Silver Peak Pack, power is everything, and Maya Ashley has none. To the rest of the wolves, she is a "runt"... a lowly servant who cleans the floors and cooks the meals. But Maya is hiding a secret that could get her burned alive: she is the world’s only Vampire Werewolf Hybrid. The pack is ruled by Alpha Kael, a warrior who is slowly losing his mind. Kael suffers from ‘Killer’s Fever,’ a violent madness that turns Alphas into feral monsters. No medicine can help him, except for one thing: Maya’s blood. For months, Maya has been secretly drugging Kael’s nightly tea with drops of her own blood. It is the only thing that keeps the Alpha sane, but it has created a dangerous side effect: Kael has become physically addicted to her presence without knowing why. As the Blood Moon approaches, Maya’s clock begins to tick. Ancient lore states that on this night, a hybrid must choose a side. If she mates with a wolf, her vampire half dies; if she mates with a vampire, her wolf side is lost forever. The stakes explode when Prince Victor of the Vampire Kingdom arrives at the borders. He doesn't want a wife; he wants to eliminate the ‘hybrid mistake’ to prove his strength. He publicly exposes Maya’s fangs, turning her own pack against her. At the same time, Maya discovers a heartbreaking truth: her own mother was the witch who cursed Kael with madness as revenge for an old war. Now, Maya is trapped between a Prince who wants her dead and an Alpha who is addicted to her blood.
