Bunk D Xander

The uprising killed the royal Cardinal family. The Cardinals were magic wielders and had ruled for over five hundred years with an iron fist. Eventually, the humans waged war against wielders and shifters. They overthrew the crown, branding all non-human beings as Unnaturals and leaving them to fend for themselves in a broken world. Ida has spent those last ten years since the uprising sold from one household to another, never able to repay her indenture. The situation, although not ideal, has offered her a second chance at life. A life in hiding was better than no life at all, and she did not wish to suffer the same fate as others of her kind. Sold into the services of Duke Kestrel, she meets a seductive yet mysterious Lord Alexander. Already in his thirties, Xander cares very little for his title and responsibilities. He should have been married years ago, but no woman appears to please him. Many assume he is simply difficult, but not all is what it seems. Xander carries the weight of being a shifter, unable to find his mate in this new kingdom. After a chance meeting between them, Ida becomes overwhelmed by Alexander's mixed signals. She dares not succumb to her inner feelings. Letting Xander in would mean opening up about what she truly is, and she is determined to keep her past hidden. Xander, however, has other plans. He intends to get his mate by whatever means necessary. When both their lives intertwine by fate, a new quest emerges fraught with danger as they encounter all walks of life trying to tear them apart. Can their love survive, or is there a more sinister plot afoot?

Callista Everett seems to have it all- looks, money and status. But despite her accomplishments , there's one glaring thing that she doesn't have: love and family is also a quick to point this out. When she meets Alexander Hudson, the universe seems to present a solution to both of them. Callie needs some to pretend to be her boyfriend so that her family can stop asking her why she is alone. And Xander needs someone to pretend to be his fiancee, so people stop labelling him as a player. However, the lines of 'real' and 'pretend' becomes blurry as Xander and Callie navigate the water of business, love and family. Between growing, feelings, will they still remember to play pretend.

J’étais en couple avec Éric Simonot depuis trois ans, mais il n’a jamais voulu me demander en mariage. Ou plutôt, il refusait de le faire. Puis, il a eu un coup de foudre pour ma demi-sœur, Stéphane Cousteau, et s’est mis à la courtiser ouvertement, sans aucune retenue. Cette fois, je n’ai ni pleuré ni attendu patiemment qu’il revienne vers moi une fois qu’il aurait fini de s’amuser, comme je l’avais fait dans le passé. J’ai rassemblé tous les cadeaux qu’il m’avait offerts et je les ai jetés. J’ai aussi découpé en morceaux la robe de mariée que j’avais achetée en secret. Le jour de son anniversaire, j’ai décidé de quitter Paris, seule. Juste avant d’embarquer dans l’avion, Éric m’a envoyé un message : « T’es où ? Tout le monde t’attend. » J’ai esquissé un sourire et j’ai bloqué toutes ses coordonnées. Il ne savait pas qu’il y a deux semaines, j’avais accepté de me marier avec Clovis Lavanchy, un ancien camarade d’université. À l’atterrissage dans ma nouvelle ville, Clovis et moi allions nous marier.

J'étais Rebecca, la compagne de Gauvain Clerc, Alpha de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier — la plus puissante des meutes du Nord. Gauvain était un génie des affaires qu'on ne rencontre qu'une fois par siècle, son réseau commercial s'étendant sur une douzaine de meutes nordiques et transformant la sienne en un véritable empire réussi. Il m'avait revendiquée pendant quatre ans. Nous étions prêts pour notre cérémonie d'union… jusqu'au retour de Viviane, son amour d'enfance. Le jour où je les ai vus se retrouver, la vérité m'a foudroyée : ce que je croyais être de l'amour n'avait toujours été qu'une illusion, la mienne. Dans ses yeux, il n'y avait qu'elle. Moi, je n'avais été qu'un simple arrangement. Au moins, il ne m'avait jamais marquée. Aucun lien de compagnon, seulement des papiers glacés du Conseil de la Meute. Cela simplifiait les choses. Alors j'ai préparé ma revanche : j'ai déguisé l'Accord de Dissolution du lien de compagnon en simple formulaire administratif d'université. Quand sa plume a effleuré ce document, notre lien s'est rompu d'un seul trait d'encre. Il n'a jamais compris ce qu'il perdait ce jour-là : pas seulement une compagne, mais l'héritier futur de la Meute au Pelage d'Acier. À présent, il me traque à travers les continents. Est-ce de l'amour ? Ou bien à cause du petit ? Ou seulement l'orgueil d'un Alpha, consumé par le fait que j'aie réussi à briser notre lien de compagnon sans qu'il ne réalise qu'il venait d'être joué ?

Je ne devrais pas le vouloir. Christian est mon demi-frère : plus âgé, maussade, impitoyable et il cache des secrets dont je devrais me tenir éloignée. Sans compter qu'il est aussi mon patron. Mais chaque regard furtif, chaque contact interdit, m'entraîne plus profondément dans un jeu dangereux de désir, de trahison et de secrets. Déménager à New York était censé être un nouveau départ pour ma mère. Au lieu de cela, je me retrouve coincée sous le même toit que les frères Linden : Ross, l'enfant chéri qui veut me protéger, et Christian, le milliardaire froid qui a juré qu'il ne voulait rien avoir à faire avec moi. Entre les drames familiaux, un ex jaloux et l'ombre du passé de Christian, obsédée par la vengeance, ma vie est en pleine spirale. Pourtant, je me surprends à tomber amoureuse du seul homme que je ne suis pas censée aimer.

After years of battling several illnesses, I died and woke up in a werewolf romance as a girl named Selene. It was uncertain what book I reincarnated into but as an avid reader of werewolf web novels, I knew the basic plot-line so I didn’t panic.

“Kahit minsan ba nagawa mo akong mahalin sa tatlong taon nating pagsasama?” Pinahid ni Felicia ang mga luhang walang tigil sa pagpatak mula sa kanyang mga mata at nagpatuloy. “Kahit katiting lang?” Batid ni Felicia na sa pagbigkas niya ng mga salitang iyon ay itinapon na niya ang lahat ng kanyang natitirang dignidad. Gusto niyang sabunutan ang sarili dahil sa ginagawa niyang kamartiran. Hindi ito deserve ni Xander dahil sa mga pinaggagawa nito sa kanya. Subalit tila ba may sariling buhay ang kanyang puso sapagkat kahit na anong gawin ng lalaki sa kanya ay nangingibabaw pa rin ang kanyang pagmamahal para rito. Marahas na binawi ni Xander ang kanyang braso. “What do you think, woman? What do you think is my answer?” Napalunok si Felicia. “N-Nainitidihan ko,” she answered softly. “Xander… I am sorry if my love made you this miserable.” ************* Sa loob ng tatlong taon, umasa si Felicia na matututunan din siyang mahalin ni Alexander Buenaventura. Subalit ni katiting na pagmamahal ay hindi siya tinapunan ng lalaki. Sa halip, matinding galit at pagkapoot ang namayani sa puso ng binata dahil sa paniniwala nitong minanipula ni Felicia ang kanyang lola upang sila'y maikasal. Finally, Felicia had enough. She left Xander and moved on with her life. Ipinagpatuloy ni Felicia ang naudlot niyang pangarap, ang pagdo-doktor. Pinilit niyang kalimutan ang lalaking dumurog sa kanyang puso, kasama ang naging bunga ng kanilang una’t huli pagniniig, si Caleb. Sa loob ng anim na taon, naging mapayapa ang buhay ni Felicia. Subalit isang araw, muling nag-krus ang mga landas nila ni Xander. At sa pagkakataong ito, gagawin ni Xander ang lahat upang bumalik siya sa kanya.

‘So, this is the end.’ … In one life, Valerie, Luna of the Eclipse pack, had died for her a mate who didn't love her, a family who only saw faults in her and a pack who never respected her, all of them favouring Alyn, her adopted sister. She spent her last life in misery with regret, her sisters mocking sneer and the absence of family couldn't even be there in her last moments. But now, she was reborn. Waking up months before her death, ready to change her fate, this time, she knew what she had to do; renounce her Luna position, the mate bond, and leave behind the people who never cared for her. It was the best solution for her…and her unborn child. Yet when facing the mate who once hated her, his gaze had changed completely. The ties she'd believed were untangled long ago have now returned more complicated, especially when another Alpha vies for her affection. And when it comes to leaving the past behind and letting go, which path should she choose?

« On ne devrait pas faire ça », murmurai-je. « Oh Ashley ! Gardons ça pour nous, elle n'a pas besoin de le savoir, personne n'a besoin de le savoir », répondit-il doucement en m'embrassant derrière l'oreille. Je me suis abandonnée à lui. Il m'a délicatement déposée sur le lit et j'ai fermé les yeux. J'ai savouré chaque caresse, chaque baiser tandis qu'il explorait mon corps. J'ai frissonné de plaisir. « Je sais que tu me désires aussi. » Il est revenu à mes lèvres et m'a embrassée passionnément. Bannie de sa meute, Ashley trouve refuge dans celle de son amie. Elle n'aurait jamais imaginé tomber amoureuse du père de sa meilleure amie et goûter à tous les plaisirs qu'il a à lui offrir. Parviendra-t-elle à naviguer dans les eaux troubles d'un amour interdit tout en préservant son amitié ?
