Büyük Savaş'tan iki yüzyıl sonra, insanlar ve kurt adamlar arasında nihayet barış sağlandı, ya da herkes öyle sanıyor. Kurt adamlar tanrılar gibi hüküm sürüyor ve insanlar yeni dünya düzenindeki gerçek yerlerinden habersiz bir şekilde mutlu yaşıyorlar. Bu kırılgan dengeyi korumak için, her yıl çeşitli bölgelerden bir avuç "şanslı" insan, şan, statü ve elitlerle kaynaşma şansı vaat eden prestijli bir kurum olan Lunaris Akademisi'ne katılmak üzere seçiliyor. Seçilenler, güçlü alfalarla evlenip luna olarak yükselmeye yazgılı şanslı azınlık olarak övülüyor. Bu yıl, herkesin şaşkınlığına rağmen, Violet Purple seçilenler arasında. Gözden düşmüş bir hayat kadını tarafından evlat edinilmiş yetim bir kız için bu, daha iyi bir yaşama açılan altın bir bilet, ya da ona öyle söyleniyor. Ancak Lunaris Akademisi, gösterildiği gibi bir cennet değil. Violet ve diğer insanlara öğretilen her şey bir yalan. İnsanlar eşitlikten çok uzak; çok daha büyük bir oyunda piyon konumundalar. Akademi, yaldızlı bir kafesten başka bir şey değil ve öğrenciler, alfaların acımasız oyunlarında oyuncak olarak kullanılmak üzere kesime götürülen kuzular gibiler. İşleri daha da kötüleştiren şey, Violet'in bu oyundaki en tehlikeli oyuncuların, Dehşet Dörtlüsü'nün dikkatini çekmesi: Kuzey Alfası, Güney'in Alfası, Doğu'nun Alfası ve Batı Alfası. Her biri diğerinden daha tehlikeli, daha çarpık ve daha güçlü. Ancak alfalar kendi aralarında da bölünmüş durumda, her birinin kendi ölümcül hırsları var. Yine de, hepsinin gözü onun üzerinde. Violet'in oyuna katılmasını, diğerleri gibi sıraya girmesini, ayaklarına kapananlar gibi olmasını, oyunları altında kırılmasını bekliyorlar. Ama Violet diğerleri gibi değil. Eğilmeyi reddediyor. Hepsine meydan okuyacak.

A game of "Let's Switch" changed the fate of three youths. Tian Yuo (Age 6): "Nobody will notice, especially her! I don't want to play with her." Chen Mu frowned from his behavior, "But she is your future fiance. You're meeting her for the first time anyways." Tian Yuo: "Come on, let's switch for the day. Sometimes even our mothers can't figure us out because we swapped our clothes and accessories! Please...I'm going to tell my mom that I don't want to marry her anyways." Chen Mu: "I still don't think it's a good idea.." Tian Yuo: "Didn't you hate hanging out with Chu Yao? I'll help you avoid her for this whole school semester if you switch with me." Chen Mu sighed, "Fine. Only this time." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tian Yuo: "I don't want to marry Yin Susu. I don't love her, and she will never be my bride." He shouted out loud in front of his parents, Yin Zin Leung (Susu's father), and Karen (Susu's step sister). Before leaving the room, he grabbed Karen's hand and looked back with a sharp glare towards Susu, "I will only have one wife and she's Karen." _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Karen handed Susu a glass of wine, "Sis, please forgive me. Bro Yuo and I really love each other. I'll drink this glass of wine as an apology. It's my engagement night, so I hope you could give us your blessing." Susu felt tightness in her chest as she chugged the glass of wine in her hands down her throat. She didn't notice the smirk on Karen's face while she was swallowing the wine. Feeling ill, Susu went upstairs to escape the loudness that gave her a headache. She leaned against the wall and sloppily entered a guest room. Once entered, she stripped naked from feeling the heat in the room. The next morning, she woke up to find Tian Yuo sleeping naked next to her. Her face turned pale as she felt cramps on her lower abdomen when she moved. A noticeable blood stain was on the bed... 'Did..w..what happened..?' The guest room door swung open and Karen shockingly stood by the door. Her loud gasp and unsettled tone rung Susu and Tian Yuo's ears, "Sis! Bro Yuo!! How could you two do this to me?" Tian Yuo immediately sat up and caught a glimpse of what had happened. Quickly he refuted any accusations that were thrown at him, "It's not like that! I didn't! Karen, it was her! She drugged me! I drank the wine that was from her and then I woke up just now!!" He angrily looked to his left and growled, "Yin Susu! I never thought you'd go this far!!!" Susu cried, "It's not me!!! It's Karen!!!" Karen's tears were similar to a nonstop flood, "Sis, you're too much!!! How could you!!!" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tian Yuo coldly scowled at Susu on their wedding night, "We may be married, but I would never touch you. You'll live with an emptied title. You'll never get the love you wish to get from me. Understand?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chen Mu spotted Tian Yuo at a bar after paying Susu a visit. He ran towards the handsome man who was flirting with a group of girls, "You bastard! If you never loved her, why marry her in the first place?!" "To torture her." "If you don't know how to care for your own wife, then I won't hold back! I won't let anyone hurt her. Not even if you are my closest friend." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's note: Chen Mu is the Male Lead in this story.

La nuit où Selène goûte enfin à la liberté, la célébrité, l'argent, un avenir bien à elle, sa famille la vend à une vente aux enchères surnaturelle.

Mikhaïl Morozov, Alpha de Wintercrest et Grand Alpha de la Concorde d'Onyx. Craint dans tout Nocturna, le Royaume Lycan. Avec un passé brisé, une sœur disparue et un trône bâti sur le sang et la trahison, la dernière chose dont il a besoin est une fille humaine rebelle avec une langue acérée et un humour plus sombre que ses péchés.

Quand Kustav Volkov, un Alpha rival impitoyable, se révèle être le père de Selène, il fait valoir ses droits sur elle. Mikhaïl offre à Selène un choix : l'épouser dans un pacte lié par le sang qui lui accorde une protection selon la loi lycan. Mais ce mariage de convenance sera tout sauf commode. *** « Et tu sens bon, » l'ai-je interrompu, les mots s'échappant avant que je puisse les arrêter. « Vraiment bon. Comme l'hiver mais pas le genre terrifiant. Le genre magnifique. Avec de la neige et— » J'ai froncé le nez, cherchant la description. « Ces délicats motifs de givre qui apparaissent sur le verre. » Mikhaïl a produit un son profond dans sa poitrine qui aurait pu être un grognement ou un petit rire ou quelque chose entre les deux. « Pourquoi y a-t-il deux escaliers ? » ai-je lâché soudainement, me fixant sur le grand escalier dupliqué qui se dressait devant nous. « Est-ce intentionnel ? Ça semble ridiculement excessif. » « Il n'y a qu'un seul escalier, moya. » « Tu es sûr ? Parce que j'en vois définitivement deux. Peut-être as-tu besoin d'une correction visuelle. Les lycans ont-ils besoin de lunettes ? Ce serait hilarant. De petites lunettes perchées sur un loup énorme et terrifiant— » « Selène. » Sa voix est sortie tendue, d'une manière qui a pénétré même à travers mon brouillard. « Tu dois arrêter de parler. » J'ai levé les yeux vers lui, la douleur perçant à travers l'agréable brume. « Pourquoi ? Est-ce que je t'agace ? Je suis désolée. Je vais rester silencieuse. » « Non. » Le mot s'est échappé, vif, presque angoissé. « Tu ne m'agaces pas. Tu es— » Il a tranché la phrase, sa mâchoire se serrant si violemment que j'ai vu le muscle tressaillir. « Juste... repose-toi. » Mais je ne voulais pas me reposer. Je voulais comprendre pourquoi son expression paraissait comme ça—tout rigide et affamée et quelque chose d'autre que je ne pouvais pas identifier. « Est-ce que ça va ? » ai-je demandé, levant ma main vers sa mâchoire. Il a intercepté mon poignet avant le contact, sa prise douce mais inflexible. « Ne fais pas ça. » « Pourquoi pas ? » « Parce que je maintiens à peine le contrôle tel qu'il est, et si tu me touches maintenant— » Il s'est arrêté brusquement, ses yeux se fermant momentanément. « Ne le fais simplement pas. » Cela aurait dû m'effrayer. La férocité dans son ton, la façon dont sa retenue semblait se défaire aux coutures. Mais moi-intoxiquée a simplement souri, inexplicablement satisfaite. Puis j'ai remarqué la façon dont son regard est tombé. Juste pour une fraction de battement de cœur. Sur ma bouche. La chaleur a fleuri dans ma poitrine, se répandant comme un feu de forêt. « Tu veux m'embrasser, » ai-je soufflé, la révélation me rendant étourdie. Ses yeux se sont relevés vers les miens, bleu glacial devenu prédateur. « Embrasser, » a-t-il dit lentement, sa voix baissant d'une octave, « ne commence même pas à effleurer la surface de ce que je veux te faire. » L'air a quitté mes poumons. Sa prise sur mon poignet a changé, son pouce trouvant mon point de pouls. Appuyant là. Sentant le rythme frénétique qu'il avait provoqué. « Embrasser c'est doux, » a-t-il continué, se penchant juste assez pour que son souffle effleure mes lèvres. Assez proche pour prendre. Assez proche pour réclamer. Mais il ne l'a pas fait. « Embrasser c'est tendre. Ce que je veux ? » Ses yeux ont parcouru mon visage, ma gorge, plus bas puis remontant avec une lenteur délibérée. « Il n'y a rien de doux là-dedans. »

Alora Hemming is memorable; even if she's walking past you on a street, you'd remember her. Not because she is gorgeous or because she has the best outfits, but because of her very concerning mindset and actions. Exactly the reason why she had been plaguing Griffin Steele's mind ever since he was four. Their first interaction wasn't a simple walk on the street, no, their first meeting was a battle to establish dominance. A battle of petty rights. The spine-chilling Battle of Silverado Kindergarten, fought amongst thirteen toddlers, left clear winners and losers. Alora Hemming was reduced to the confines of her 1.22 acre mansion with a private tutor, homeschooling and her frankensteined dolls as companions. Finn's bag and baggage was sent packing to Worthfinder Academy wherein the lap of peace and education Finn spent happy three years before being plagued by Alora Hemming's existence again. And meeting a whole decade later, surely made no difference. From day one, she had been bruising his ego, stepping inside his comfort zone and shaking the very ground of his morals. Hence why, Finn Steele must make sure he would never lose to Alora Hemming. Never. Ever. Even if she was going to be the mother of his children. And Alora Hemming would make sure that Finn Steele, must, by all means, always lose to her. For. Ever. Even when she started a family with him. It was a matter of Ego. . . yeah,, give it a try. i think you'll like it pretty! cover designed by me! Leave reviews and i shall love thee!
