Vicious L. J. Shen

Cinq années s'étaient écoulées depuis que mon compagnon Adam Chauvin m'avait secrètement marquée. Son frère, l'Alpha de la tribu d'Ombre Lunaire, est mort dans la guerre territoriale. Pour devenir le nouvel Alpha de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam a hérité de tout ce que son défunt frère a laissé derrière lui. Y compris sa belle-sœur veuve, Victoria. Après chaque nuit passée dans le lit de Victoria, Adam me serrait contre lui en me disant des paroles rassurantes : « Léa, patiente encore un peu. Dès que Victoria sera enceinte, nous aurons notre cérémonie d'union ! » C'était la seule condition imposée par la tribu pour qu'il puisse hériter du titre d'Alpha. Au cours des six mois écoulés depuis son retour sur le territoire de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam s'était rendu d'innombrables fois dans la chambre de Victoria. Enfin, après d'innombrables nuits passées jusqu'à l'aube, la nouvelle est tombée : Victoria était enceinte. Mais cette nouvelle s'accompagnait d'une autre – Adam et Victoria allaient tenir leur cérémonie d'union. « Maman, il y aura une cérémonie d'union ici ? » a demandé ma fille. J'ai regardé autour de moi. Le grand hall était rempli de fleurs et de ballons. Dehors, des gens s'affairaient joyeusement à faire des préparatifs de la cérémonie d'union. J'ai serré ma fille dans mes bras : « Oui, ma chérie. Ton père va tenir une cérémonie d'union avec celle qu'il aime, ce qui signifie qu'il est temps pour nous de partir. » Adam ne savait pas que, dans la tribu de Nouvelle lune Argentée, nous ne nous préoccupions pas des soi-disant cérémonies d'union. Chez nous, les louves étaient vénérées. Ma mère était l'Alpha actuelle, et il me suffisait de donner naissance à une héritière pour lui succéder. J'ai composé un numéro que je n'avais pas appelé depuis cinq ans : « Mère, j'ai maintenant une héritière. Je suis prête à rentrer à la maison pour réclamer ta place d'Alpha. »

She signed his contract to survive, never expecting to lose her heart. Amber Rose Adao’s world collapses when her late father’s debts fall into the hands of Leon Viremont—the cold, calculating billionaire heir who doesn’t believe in love. Losing her job and facing pressure from her step-mother, she signs his agreement: three months as his bride. No strings attached. No emotions involved. Just survival. However, every stolen glance risks breaking the rules, and every touch ignites a passion hotter than she ever anticipated. Leon was supposed to be untouchable, so why does his icy facade crack only for her? As enemies close in and whispers circulate, Amber discovers that danger lurks in the shadows of Leon’s mansion. Isabel Miller will stop at nothing to destroy her. Leon's powerful mother wants her gone, and buried secrets may connect Leon to the debts that ruined her father. Three months were meant to set her free. Instead, Amber finds herself caught in a web of passion, betrayal, and a man she swore she would never love. Because in Leon’s world, promises are dangerous, and falling for him could cost her everything.

All my life I lived in the shadows. A daughter of our pack’s Alpha confined to servitude in my own household, unfairly treated and punished for a wrong that didn't make sense. The night of my eighteenth birthday, my mate rejected me and took my twin sister as his mate. Having been on my wits end and not knowing where else to go, I fled away from our pack, but it was a wrong move because I was captured by a pack of rogue wolves whose leader turned out to be my second chance mate. He took me captive. Even knowing that we're mates, he kept on rejecting me. He considers my father his sworn enemy, making me, the spawn, his enemy, too. Until when could I endure the hatred he has for me?

My son was kidnapped by rogue wolves during training. Ethan used all his connections as Beta to finally locate him in an abandoned hunting lodge. When I burst through the door, Tyler was already lying on the ground. His chest was a bloody mess, his heart ripped out completely. I chased after the rogue wolves like a mad she-wolf, desperate to retrieve his heart, but I was too late. Unable to bear the devastation, I collapsed and fell from the cliff edge. Ethan carried me to the pack healer's den, his face deathly pale. Before the healing ritual began, he gripped my hand tightly, his voice trembling: "Serena, you can't give up. Our son is already gone. I can't lose you too..." But when I regained consciousness, I found an anonymous text message on my phone. I opened it and heard a recording. "Beta Gray, you have already found another heart donors. Why specifically choose young Tyler? He's so young, and he's your son..." "He was just a tool to save Lucas. I raised him all these years—taking one heart isn't too much to ask, is it?" "Besides, the pack healer said a blood relative's heart has the smallest chance of rejection. Lucas is mine and Vivian's life. I can't bear to see him suffer even a little." My entire body shook violently. I could barely hold the phone. The man who repeatedly claimed to love me was the murderer who killed my son for his illegitimate child with his mistress. The marriage I thought was happy was nothing but an elaborate deception.

Le premier amour de mon compagnon, Sarah Blackwood, et moi avions chacune un fils de huit ans. Le fils de Sarah a tué un loup innocent. Au lieu de le livrer à la justice de la meute, mon compagnon m'a demandé que notre propre enfant prenne la responsabilité du crime. « Marcus ne passera que cinq ans dans la Prison d'Argent », m'a-t-il grogné. « Sarah et Jamie n'ont aucune protection — l'exil les tuerait tous les deux ! Notre fils est assez fort pour survivre à ça ! » Pendant qu'il les a envoyés à l'étranger pour fuir la justice, les gardes de ses parents ont traîné notre petit innocent en prison. Quand Ryan est revenu… j'avais déjà disparu.

Introduction A year ago, I had my eyes on the winning prize in the arena - a rare red gemstone, and wanted to win it back as the mating ring with my Alpha mate Damien. Just as I was about to claim victory and take the prize, Damien's secretary Celia stepped forward to challenge me. Damien laughed helplessly. "Young girls love these shiny things. As the Luna of our pack, you should be generous and let her have them, okay?" I refused outright and defeated her. That day, Celia ran off the platform crying. I proudly showed Damien my prize. He kissed my forehead helplessly. "My stubborn little wildcat." After our mating ceremony, he claimed me night after night for a whole year, in every way imaginable, never giving me a moment's rest. But one year later, I received an invitation to a private combat arena. Videos and photos of me beneath Damien, my eyes hazy with desire, were brazenly displayed as the victor's prize. Damien had his arm around Celia's waist. "Don't you love fighting? There are over a hundred people here. I'll have them challenge you one by one. Whoever wins gets a sex tape of you and me. A whole year's worth."

The day my daughter Aria was discharged from the hospital, my Alpha mate Marcus returned from his two-week business trip with his Omega secretary Vivian. My daughter was hospitalized due to nut allergy, but she gave Aria nut chocolate as a gift. I suppressed my anger and refused, but Marcus frowned and scolded me:"Serena, Vivian meant well. She didn't know about the allergy." After sending Vivian away, Marcus sent me and my daughter countless expensive gifts to compensate, which I silently accepted. Marcus breathed a sigh of relief, thinking I would continue to play the role of his obedient Luna. But when he learned that I, who was 3 months pregnant, had gone alone to the Alpha Council and submitted a mate bond dissolution application, the powerful Alpha broke down and begged me to come back.
