these silent woods

“It was him!” My father yelled out with blood filling his mouth, which he spat on the ground as he stared at my mate with contempt. “It’s him and people like him that are responsible for your mother’s death!” I looked up at August, expecting him to defend himself and deny it, but he was staring back at my father with the same look of hatred—if not worse—that my father looked at him with. Like he would kill him as well. “Is this true?” I asked, causing August to break eye contact with my father and look at me. “Did you…kill my mother?” There was tense silence as he stared at me without another word. And that was all I needed to know. My mate had killed my mother, and he would not hesitate to kill my father too. ~ Azalea never believed in the theory that a man could turn into a beast and back into a man.

On the day of the company's annual gala, my CEO husband suddenly assigned me an unexpected business trip. The plane had barely touched down when I received a call from his young assistant. Before I could utter a word, her voice came through, "Matty, did you send Daphne on that business trip just so we could spend more time together?" And then, as if to hammer the nail deeper into my heart, I heard his unmistakable tone—light, indulgent, full of affection, "What do you think, silly girl?" Her laughter rang out before she teased, "Then tonight, let's try something new. I promise you'll be satisfied..." The call ended amidst a swirl of suggestive murmurs. Staring at my phone, I waged a silent war with the pain gripping my chest. Again and again, I dialed his number, each attempt met with either silence or the cruel finality of his phone being switched off. Finally, I let out a bitter laugh, tucking the phone away as if to bury the wound it carried. From that moment on, I resolved—no more questions, no more efforts to understand this man who had once been my whole world. But fate has its own irony. Later, it was he who came back, pleading, begging me to love him again.

In the heart of Cedar Grove, shadows conceal more than secrets— they whisper truths. Dr. Isla Rivers never thought she'd return to her small hometown, let alone to the clinic her father built. But after his mysterious disappearance, Isla steps into his shoes, seeking solace among furry patients and the echoes of a life she left behind. The quiet town holds more than nostalgia, though. Strange sounds haunt her clinic, shadows stretch unnaturally, and whispers from her childhood dreams beckon her toward the unknown. When a journal marked with her father’s enigmatic crescent moon symbol appears, Isla is thrust into a world she never imagined—one where werewolves roam the woods, a prophecy threatens to unravel reality, and her own bloodline holds a secret more powerful than she’s ready to face. Guided by a cryptic stranger named Astra and an unwelcome connection to Luca Moreau, the brooding alpha of the local pack, Isla must confront the truth about her father’s disappearance, her heritage, and the prophecy that ties her fate to the Crescent Moon pack. But as passions ignite and dangers close in, Isla must decide who to trust and what sacrifices she’s willing to make—for love, for family, and for the truth that could reshape both the human and werewolf worlds forever. Welcome to Cedar Grove. The wolves are waiting.

Je suis piégée, piégée dans un lien de compagnon que je déteste. Est-ce que je vais un jour m’échapper de son emprise ? « Moi, Théodore Bodin, Alpha de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre, je te rejette, Kaia Leconte, comme ma Luna. » Je me souviens de ses paroles cruelles et tranchantes comme si c’était hier. Notre lien de compagnon est inexistant. C’est un mensonge, il existe mais Théodore ne se permet pas de s’approcher de moi... ou d’être seul dans une pièce avec moi. C’est comme si je le dégoûtais. Il m’a réduit à néant. Seulement une ombre et je le déteste pour ça. Je ne peux pas continuer à vivre comme ça, à attendre... Je suis Kaia Leconte, la Luna légitime de la Meute du Désert d’Ambre. Pourtant, mon compagnon, l’Alpha Théodore, refuse de me laisser régner à ses côtés. Je me sens trompée par le lien de compagnon, que mon propre compagnon ne veut pas. Des années que j’essaie de le faire m’aimer... de me voir... mais comment le pourrais-je ? Quand il en a une autre... Je ne peux pas rester, ce n’est plus sûr pour moi ni pour mon enfant à naître. Un enfant créé par la force. Je dois partir... m’enfuir et retrouver mon père. Il est la seule bouée de sauvetage dont je dispose. Cependant, il a été vu récemment dans la meute ennemie, la Meute du Fantôme Noir. Une meute notoire avec un Alpha froid et intrigant, qui n’apprécie pas les étrangers. On dit que ceux qui entrent dans la meute ne sont jamais revus. Mais je n’ai pas le choix... je dois entrer dans la meute ennemie pour me débarrasser de mon lien de compagnon. Seulement, je me retrouve avec un autre. Un autre qui me condamne à la même tromperie du lien de compagnon.
