‘Do you really think you own me?’ ‘Yes, yes I do.’ Running away isn’t an option now. I brought this upon myself by signing that document. She agreed to the marriage to make the only family she has happy. He agreed because it made business sense. However, buried beneath the polished smiles and diamond ring lies a secret soaked in betrayal. Alana Voss thinks she’s marrying to save her family’s legacy. Rafael D’Angelo thinks the lady he is marrying is just a pawn. Neither of them know that they’re walking into a trap set decades ago by one woman playing them both - Lucia Voss. It all started with a scent and a broken promise.

Le jour de notre cinquième anniversaire, Liam ne m'a offert qu'une simple marque de protection. Mais cette même nuit, il a scellé l'Union Sacrée avec Stéphanie, son premier amour. J'ai refusé d'y croire. Il m'a traitée d'illogique. « Mon Union avec Stéphanie, c'est pour l'avenir de la meute, pas par sentiment ! » m'a-t-il lancé, « Tu n'es qu'une humaine. Ma marque devrait te suffire. C'était ton ultime épreuve, Hélène. Tu m'as déçu. » Je suis alors partie. Et il a demandé Stéphanie en mariage le soir même. Cinq ans plus tard, nous nous sommes retrouvés dans un hôtel luxueux désigné par le Conseil des Alphas. Sa meute était sur le point de dominer la région. Stéphanie, vêtue d'une robe de soie lunaire, se tenait à son bras. Quand il m'a vue, couverte de sable, debout dans la fontaine décorative, il a froncé les sourcils. « Hélène », a-t-il ricané, « tu as méprisé ma protection. Regarde-toi maintenant. Je parie qu'aucune meute n'accepterait une humaine. Ne crois pas que ta pitié m'attendrira. » Je l'ai ignoré. La pierre lunaire, trésor ramassé sur la plage par mon fils, avait roulé dans la fontaine. Le pauvre chou sautillait d'impatience, et il me fallait que je retrouve son porte-bonheur...

"Salut, oui, tu ne rêves pas, c'est bien la ronde Kelly," me dis-je intérieurement en voyant l'expression mécontente de Jason, visiblement déçu. Les invités rient de nous. Ils nous affublent de toutes sortes de surnoms. "Le prince charmant et Kelly, la mangeuse de pancakes" est celui dont je me souviens tristement. "Moi, Jason Bentley du clan du Sud, je te rejette, Kelly Thompson, comme compagne et Reine Luna," déclara-t-il avec fermeté. *** Kelly Thompson, une jeune louve de dix-huit ans, voluptueuse et sans loup intérieur, admire en secret Jason Bentley, l’héritier du trône du puissant clan du Sud, depuis plusieurs années. Malheureusement pour Kelly, Jason, l’héritier Alpha, ne lui rend pas son affection. Il est déjà épris de Betty Nord, la fille élancée des anciens Gammas de son père. Cependant, Kelly a un avantage sur la frêle Betty grâce à un serment solennel prononcé par le père de Jason, le Roi Alpha Don Bentley. Ce dernier a promis que son fils épouserait la fille de ses Betas, morts il y a deux ans en combattant les plus féroces adversaires du clan du Nord pour protéger l’héritier Alpha. Mais, bien sûr, rien ne se passe aussi simplement que Kelly l’avait imaginé.

She is soon faced with a lot of mysteries and unopened secrets, while her memories recover slowly.

I grew up alongside Griffith, the Alpha of the Avalora Pack. Everyone said I was the luckiest woman in the entire kingdom of Mycintia. Griffith rejected the mate bond arranged for him by the Moon Goddess to be with me. He declared to the world that I was his one and only love. But after my miscarriage, I accidentally overheard him speaking to the healer, "Find a way to drug the Luna and remove her womb. Make sure she can never bear children again." Then, I saw him gently caressing another woman's stomach and saying, "Give her the best prenatal medicine. I want her to give birth to the strongest and most intelligent child." I knew that woman. She was Giselle, the fated mate the Moon Goddess had originally chosen for him. Griffith's voice turned grave as he issued his next command. "The Luna must never find out about this. And you must take care of her health at all costs. Otherwise, you'll suffer the consequences." Pain sliced through me. I had never imagined that the man who once swore he loved me more than life itself could betray me so cruelly. In the end, I left without a word. Since they wanted to be together so much, I stepped aside to let him and his destined mate be together. Yet, he told me later that after losing me, he lost the ability to love.

Everyone says that Eric Winslowe, the Alpha of Kalmoor Pack, loves me to the bone. He learns sign language for me because I can't hear, and he prepares to throw me a grand wedding after I thoroughly fall for him. However, after I regain my hearing, I catch him flirting and being intimate with Camilla Johnson, his maid. They're just in the room next to mine. During a banquet, he even takes advantage of my lack of hearing to brag. "She's just a pet that I have to alleviate the boredom. Alison is the only one I love. Still, I know she'll leave me if she finds out about this. "Thank God Alison can't hear. I won't let her find out about this even after we're married. Watch your mouths, everyone. Don't blame me for getting nasty if any of you bring this up to Alison." I sneer to myself. I want to tell him that he doesn't need to fear others exposing his cheating—I already know. He also doesn't need to look forward to our wedding because all that awaits him on that day is a corpse that looks just like me.

I leaned back limply, lamenting my destiny. "I'm sure Devan is flawed, really. don't you see? he is too Rigid. He's too mysterious. His face was pale, and it was strange. How can his wolf not realize I am his Mate?" I grumbled in protest. Astrid rolled her eyes lazily. "So you're going to keep Arley? Your relationship that you have been in for five years. But Arley not your Mate. come on daughter of Beta, don't break the rules or our Pack will throw you away until you are said to fail," Astrid gave a warning. How many times do I have to say? I love my Arley lover who treats me like a princess, Rather than chasing after a mysterious man like Devan, who was stiff, cold, and too creepy, and he doesn't realize I am his Mate, so I don't have to chase him; either? Are you sure that cruel man is a Lycan? "I asked doubtfully
