Chapter 1
À la frontière de Skya, la Maison des Enchères de Balthazar.
Sous l'obscurité de la nuit, une foule murmurait, les corps réchauffant l'atmosphère.
Au centre de la maison des enchères, une plateforme surélevée montait progressivement, exposant des objets recouverts de velours cramoisi, créant une aura de mystère que chaque membre de la foule désirait explorer.
« J'ai entendu dire que les organisateurs ont dépensé une fortune pour acquérir un trésor rare pour cette vente aux enchères. »
« Quel genre de trésor ? »
« Comme c'est excitant ! Je suis curieux de voir à quel point c'est inhabituel. »
Dans une loge privée au deuxième étage de la maison des enchères, des doigts fins tapaient sur la table et des yeux ambrés profonds portaient une lueur d'humour. Les paroles qui montaient d'en bas l'amusaient ; combien pouvaient vraiment se permettre de tels objets inestimables ?
Sur la scène, un homme vêtu d'une queue-de-pie noire et portant un masque de renard argenté s'avança. La moitié de ses cheveux longs jusqu'aux épaules était attachée en arrière, un micro tenu légèrement dans sa main. Sa voix était douce mais portait une certaine acuité.
« Bienvenue à tous à la Maison des Enchères de Balthazar ! »
Les bavardages dans les gradins diminuèrent alors que des biens de tailles, d'opulences et de valeurs variées étaient vendus, un par un, jusqu'à ce qu'il ne reste plus qu'un seul objet.
La Maison des Enchères de Balthazar, située à la frontière des pays Skya et Pliar, et soutenue par une organisation mystérieuse, était un endroit où personne n'osait causer des problèmes. Créer une scène ici et maintenant signifierait la mort. Le silence envahissait les sens dans l'attente de la révélation finale.
« Le dernier article mis aux enchères nécessite peu d'explications, donc je ne dirai pas grand-chose. Ici repose le Mutant de l'Homme Immortel ! Les enchères commenceront à dix millions de dollars », cria l'enchérisseur, sa main gantée de blanc déchirant le velours rouge. Le drapé cramoisi tomba, révélant une fille entassée dans une grande cage dorée.
Son visage, partiellement obscurci par un léger voile, laissait entrevoir seulement ses cheveux noirs magnifiquement contrastés et sa peau claire.
Ses yeux brillaient comme des eaux d'automne ondulantes, purs et innocents, inconscients des manières du monde.
On ne pouvait qu'imaginer la beauté captivante qui se cachait sous ce voile.
Les voix s'élevaient et se heurtaient dans toute la salle.
« Alors, c'est le légendaire Mutant de l'Homme Immortel ? Étonnant. »
« J'ai entendu dire que boire le sang d'un Mutant peut guérir toutes les maladies et même prolonger la vie. Pas étonnant qu'il ait un prix de départ de dix millions. »
« Beurk, comme c'est macabre. J'ai lu dans des textes anciens que copuler avec un Mutant peut être tout aussi efficace que de consommer leur sang. »
« Ça ne peut pas être vrai ! Bien que l'Homme Immortel soit renommé internationalement dans la recherche médicale, personne ne ferait - »
« Ils ont la présence la plus puissante, mais sont aussi très mystérieux. Nous ne connaissons pas l'emplacement exact d'où ils viennent ; sommes-nous même sûrs qu'il existe une chose telle que le Mutant de l'Homme Immortel ? »
« Tu ne comprends pas, mon ami. C'est la Maison de Vente aux Enchères de Balthazar, ils n'ont pas de marchandises contrefaites. »
« Vingt millions ! » cria une voix dans l'obscurité.
Dès que la voix de l'animateur tomba, quelqu'un leva immédiatement sa palette d'enchères.
« Vingt-cinq millions. »
« Trente millions. »
« Trente-cinq millions. »
« Quarante millions ! » Des exclamations de surprise se firent entendre dans toute la salle. Comment quelqu'un pouvait-il choisir de dépenser autant d'argent pour un seul objet, même s'il s'agissait d'un Mutant !
« ... »
Les gens dans les gradins devenaient fous et les prix continuaient de monter de plus en plus haut.
La fille dans la cage exquise gardait la tête baissée, ses yeux clairs calmes et innocents, inconsciente des affaires du monde et sans une once de peur.
Dans la salle privée du deuxième étage, un autre homme en costume entra et s'approcha de la silhouette assise.
« Monsieur, le Docteur Divin est introuvable. Que pensez-vous de ce ‘Mutant de l'Homme Immortel’ ? »
De son siège près du balcon, Sylvester resta silencieux, son regard lourd alors qu'il observait la femme – plutôt la fille – dans la cage dorée. Il considérait sa situation.
Avec son ami ne parlant pas, Michael Gomez ne pouvait qu'attendre.
Le prix avait grimpé à cinquante millions.
Un homme bedonnant et chauve avec un regard affamé grommela, « Bon sang, le prix monte en flèche, je détesterais perdre ce délicieux morceau. »
« Cinquante-cinq millions, » cria une voix à proximité.
Dans la salle privée voisine, un vieil homme agita la main, se sentant assez fier de son enchère.
En entendant cela, les sourcils de Sylvester se froncèrent de mécontentement. Il agita nonchalamment la main. Le subordonné à ses côtés leva immédiatement la palette. « Cent millions. »
Le prix avait été multiplié plusieurs fois depuis l'enchère d'ouverture, mais c'était incroyable ! Pendant un moment, toute la salle tomba dans le silence.
Michael ressentit une certaine fierté. Après tout, son patron ne participait jamais aux enchères.
Une fois que l'enchère atteignit cent millions de dollars, beaucoup de gens dans la salle se sentirent moins enclins à continuer. Après tout, de nombreuses entreprises cotées en bourse n'avaient pas un revenu aussi élevé.
Quel genre de personne pouvait faire une telle enchère ? « Cent millions » sortit de sa bouche comme si de rien n'était.
« Pourrait-il s'agir d'un enchérisseur naïf et insensé ? » doutait quelqu'un.
« Simplet, pour ces milliardaires de haut niveau qui ne manquent pas d'argent, la valeur d'un Mutant dépasse facilement cent millions de dollars. Tu devrais savoir que ce qu'ils manquent, ce n'est pas l'argent, mais l'opportunité de profiter de la richesse. »

From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.

Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.

I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
