Introduction
"Tu es très sûr de toi, Kauer." Je le suis et me place devant lui pour qu'il ne remarque pas à quel point il m'affecte. "Tu me connais à peine. Comment peux-tu être sûr de ce que je veux ?"
"Je le sais, Hana, parce que tu n'as pas arrêté de serrer les cuisses depuis que tu m'as vu," chuchote-t-il presque inaudiblement, sa poitrine pressée contre la mienne alors qu'il me pousse contre le mur. "Je remarque les signes que ton corps envoie, et d'après ce qu'ils indiquent, il me supplie presque de te baiser tout de suite."
Hana n'avait jamais imaginé tomber amoureuse d'un autre homme que Nathan. Mais le soir de sa remise de diplôme, il la quitte, la laissant seule le jour le plus important de sa vie.
Cependant, elle réalise que la nuit n'est pas perdue lorsqu'elle rencontre le séduisant John Kauer. L'homme a deux fois son âge, mais son apparence est à couper le souffle.
Hana accepte son invitation et le suit à son hôtel, où ils passent une nuit torride. Cependant, alors qu'elle croit vivre un rêve, elle découvre que tout s'est transformé en cauchemar.
John Kauer n'est pas un simple inconnu. Il est le beau-père mystérieux de son ex-petit ami.
Maintenant, elle devra décider quoi faire de ce grand secret.

Chapter 1
Hana
Alice et Liam sont à mes côtés. Mes deux meilleurs amis essaient de me convaincre de ne pas quitter ma propre fête de remise de diplôme. Et ce n'est pas en vain parce que, grâce à Nathan, l'une des nuits les plus importantes de ma vie a été gâchée.
Il m'a larguée. Il m'a laissée ici, seule, la nuit où je pensais que nous ferions l'amour pour la première fois. Il avait promis d'attendre, mais apparemment, je ne l'ai pas assez motivé. Il m'a avoué, sans la moindre trace de culpabilité sur son visage, qu'il couchait avec quelqu'un d'autre.
Je comprends que rester vierge à 21 ans peut être un défi, mais il savait dans quoi il s'engageait. Il n'a pas pu tenir sa parole ni aucune des autres promesses qu'il m'avait faites.
Heureusement, le Doyen Kelly a pris en charge tout le travail qui devait être le mien en amadouant les investisseurs et les grands patrons. Ma performance exceptionnelle a fait la majeure partie du travail, mais Kelly a toujours été gentil avec moi. Au moins une offre d'emploi doit sortir de tout ça pour compenser cette nuit désastreuse.
"Oublie ce crétin, Hana. Tu ne te souviendras même plus de lui dans quelques mois. Tu as un avenir incroyable devant toi," dit Alice. Liam est d'accord, bien que la situation ne semble pas le déranger. Il n'a jamais caché ses avances à peine voilées.
"Ce businessman semblait impatient de t'embaucher," je l'entends dire, et je roule des yeux.
"Je pense que ses intentions étaient différentes," je rétorque, les faisant rire, ce qui me fait rire aussi. "Mais une offre d'emploi serait vraiment utile."
"Tu en auras une, j'en suis sûre!" Alice essaie de me remonter le moral.
"J'espère. Je veux être indépendante et ne pas avoir à retourner vivre chez mes parents au Japon," j'essaie de paraître optimiste.
"Arrête de faire cette tête, amusons-nous," Liam entraîne Alice sur la piste de danse. Elle essaie de m'emporter avec elle, mais j'esquive ses tentatives.
Je repère le bar juste devant, et cela devient mon objectif. Cela ne prend pas longtemps, et avant même que je ne commande quoi que ce soit, le barman place un verre devant moi. Je repousse le verre vers lui, mais il insiste, disant que c'est offert par un admirateur.
Un admirateur? Je ricane, trouvant cela difficile à prendre au sérieux. Mais il incline subtilement la tête vers la gauche, indiquant quelqu'un. Je suis donc son regard dans la direction suggérée et je le vois.
Même sans une vision claire, je reconnais en lui l'un des hommes d'affaires avec le doyen, certainement plus jeune que la plupart. Il semble être dans la quarantaine, bien qu'il soit très bien conservé pour son âge.
Son corps est visiblement fort malgré le tissu qui le dissimule. Ses cheveux, presque entièrement gris, sont soigneusement coiffés en arrière. La barbe courte et taillée met en valeur sa mâchoire nettement définie.
C'est l'un de ces hommes qui semblent sortir tout droit d'un film.
Ridiculement attirant. Plus que je ne pourrais l'exprimer, malgré qu'il soit beaucoup plus âgé que moi. Que pourrait vouloir un homme comme lui de moi? Je me demande s'il a, comme moi, oublié ses lentilles de contact à la maison et ne voit pas clairement.
Mais il me prouve le contraire en s'asseyant près de moi. Très près. Je peux presque sentir son souffle sur ma joue, et même appuyée contre le comptoir, mon corps tremble.
Je n'ai jamais ressenti cela auparavant.
"Je ne voulais pas te faire peur, Hana. Je voulais juste te féliciter pour ton diplôme." Sa voix grave me donne des frissons dans le dos.
"Qui êtes-vous, et comment savez-vous qui je suis?" Sa main plane immédiatement au-dessus de la mienne, comme s'il essayait de me calmer. Cela ne fonctionne pas; son toucher ne fait qu'empirer mon état.
"Tu viens de te présenter à cette table, tu te souviens?" Il pointe l'endroit où nous étions il y a quelques instants, aux côtés du doyen.
Merde! Son sourire pourrait faire fondre n'importe qui sur-le-champ.
Ce devrait être un crime pour un homme comme lui d'exister.
"Désolée, je suis nerveuse."
"Est-ce que je te fais peur, Hana?" La façon dont il accentue mon nom fait bouillir mes entrailles. Mon souffle se fait rare, et l'espace entre nous semble se réduire de seconde en seconde.
Bon sang, je m'effondre.
"Je suis juste une fille prudente, Monsieur..." Je m'interromps, réalisant que je ne connais toujours pas son nom.
"Kauer. John Kauer." Son doigt trace le verre humide, essuyant les gouttes qui coulent sur la boisson intacte. Un sourire rusé sur ses lèvres, et il me fixe.
Kauer. Cela sonne familier, mais je ne me souviens pas où je l'ai entendu auparavant.
C'est difficile de me concentrer; la façon dont il me regarde est intense, comme un prédateur prêt à dévorer sa proie. Je ressens de la peur, mais en même temps, j'ai envie d'avancer. Je me force à continuer et à comprendre le tourbillon de sensations qui me frappe lorsque John me regarde si profondément.
"Monsieur John Kauer." L'effet du champagne que j'ai bu se fait sentir, et ma voix devient plus traînante et lente. Je vois son visage se tendre, et il semble aimer la façon dont je l'appelle.
"Tu es une femme magnifique, Hana." La rugosité dans sa voix me donne des frissons dans le dos, son sourire toujours présent.
Je me demande si les gens nous regardent, se demandant pourquoi il est si proche. À ce stade, je m'en fiche.

The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.

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.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
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.

Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
