Victor Van Dort

Natalie Taylor has one goal when she signs up as a companion at Dreams: to make a shit ton of money and get out fast. She's not looking for adventure or hoping for love and romance. But days into her moonlighting job, her quiet determination is shaken when she confronts her biggest problem yet—Levi Van Holt, heir to a mega-billion hotel chain and CEO of a gaming startup. Levi is everything she wants in a man. Gorgeous, wealthy and generous to boot. There's just one problem. He's her new boss... Harbouring a dark secret and nursing wounds from his past, Levi has one rule and one rule only for his companion: no falling in love. But with his desires continually tested, the more time he spends with Natalie, it doesn't take long for both their lives, real and secret, to converge, the lines between illusion and reality begin to blur, and the temptation to break his only rule becomes harder to resist. © 2022 Val Sims.

Selena Collins leads an unremarkable life or so she believes. As an overworked and underpaid secretary at Vermillion Cyberspace, she’s long accepted the monotony of her days and the brooding presence of her enigmatic boss, Theo van Gogh. But everything changes the moment she collapses from exhaustion and hits her head on his desk. Upon waking up in the hospital, she begins seeing things that shouldn’t exist... ghosts, demons, angels, and creatures that seem far too aware of her presence. Then comes the impossible. Theo visits her with a revelation that completely made her brain reboot. Theo isn’t just her boss now. He’s her familiar. And Selena—confused, concussed, and utterly unprepared—is the next chosen successor of a forgotten land god. Theo bows 90 degrees, coldly defiant. "I do not acknowledge you as my master. So if you die in the process of completing your missions, it would bring me joy." Now thrust into a world where mythology bleeds into modernity and ancient contracts awaken from dormancy, Selena must uncover why she was chosen and survive long enough to earn her own name in a realm that remembers everything.

Am Jahrestag unserer Paarung hatte ich die Beine um meinen Alpha Adrian geschlungen, während wir uns in einem tiefen Kuss verloren. Meine Fingerspitzen streiften die versteckte Tasche meines Seidenkleides, und meine Hand umklammerte den Schwangerschaftstest, den ich dort verborgen hielt. Ich spürte das zarte Flattern neuen Lebens in mir und plante, ihm diese Überraschung als perfekten Abschluss unseres Abends zu schenken. In diesem Moment sprach Adrians Beta Ethan mit leiser, neckischer Stimme – in der Alten Sprache. „Alpha, diese kleine Schwägerin von dir ... die frisch gereifte Wölfin Zoe. Wie hat sie geschmeckt?“ Adrians tiefes, anzügliches Schmunzeln drang an mein Ohr, leise, doch schneidend klar. Er antwortete in derselben alten Sprache: „Kennst du eine frisch gereifte Chilischote? Heiß, mit ordentlich Biss.“ Seine Hand strich noch immer über meine Taille, doch sein Blick war bereits woanders. „Halt es einfach geheim. Wenn meine Luna davon erfährt, ist alles vorbei.“ Die anderen Betas lachten wissend auf und hoben ihre Gläser – ein stummes Versprechen, sein Geheimnis zu wahren. Doch eine eisige Kälte durchströmte mich, und meine innere Wölfin erstarrte, als wäre sie gestorben. Er wusste nicht, dass ich für meine Forschung zu Werwolf-Traumata die Alte Sprache studiert hatte. Ich verstand jedes einzelne Wort. Ich hielt die Tränen zurück und zwang mich, ungerührt zu wirken, während ich die Fassung bewahrte, die man von einer Luna erwartete. Statt ihn zur Rede zu stellen, sandte ich eine magisch abgeschirmte Nachricht an Älteste Slone von der Vereinigung der Werwolf-Heiler und nahm die Einladung an, die sie mir ausgesprochen hatte. In drei Tagen würde ich mich einem geschützten Werwolf-Rehabilitationsprogramm anschließen – als neue leitende Therapeutin – und für immer aus Adrians Welt verschwinden.

Mon ami d'enfance m'avait promis de m'épouser dès que nous serions en âge, mais le jour de mon mariage, c'était à ma demi-sœur Sabrina Hugh qu'il avait passé la bague au doigt. Ce jour-là, Victor Lozé, l'héritier redouté de la mafia, était intervenu comme un chevalier blanc. Devant toute l'assistance, il avait déclaré m'aimer en secret depuis des années. Durant nos cinq années de mariage, il exauçait chacun de mes souhaits, même les plus futiles. J'étais persuadée d'être le centre de son univers... Cette certitude s'est brisée net le jour où, en époussetant sa bibliothèque, j'ai découvert un dossier ultra-confidentiel. La première page portait le nom de Sabrina, surmonté de l'inscription en gros caractères rouges : « PRIORITÉ ABSOLUE ». Il était suivi d'un rapport de mission que je connaissais trop bien : il détaillait la nuit où l'on avait tenté de m'assassiner. Je l'avais échappé belle après une hémorragie qui avait failli m'emporter. À mon réveil à l'hôpital, on m'avait appris que j'avais perdu un enfant, un être dont j'avais ignoré jusqu'à l'existence. J'avais sangloté dans les bras de Victor, sans lui révéler cette perte. Je ne voulais pas l'inquiéter davantage. Aujourd'hui, je comprenais tout : Sabrina avait aussi été attaquée cette nuit-là, et mon mari avait donné cet ordre : « Sauvez Sabrina d'abord. » Mes larmes maculaient l'encre jusqu'à la rendre illisible. « Très bien », ai-je murmuré dans le silence, la voix tremblante mais résolue, « si ce mariage n'est qu'un mensonge, alors je disparaîtrai de ta vie. Pour toujours. »
