Chapter 1
J'avais peur tout le temps.
Je ne pouvais plus continuer comme ça. J'avais même peur de mon propre ombre.
J'ai entendu un bruit en bas et j'ai su qu'Allan était rentré. Il devait probablement fouiller les placards à la recherche de son stock d'alcool. Il était plus violent quand il était ivre.
Mon estomac a encore grondé. J'avais vraiment faim, mais je ne pouvais pas descendre, car il me verrait et trouverait une raison pour me frapper.
Je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi ma mère l'avait épousé. Qu'avait-elle vu en lui ? Je ne sais pas pourquoi je me pose cette question, car je connaissais déjà la réponse. Il était riche et ma mère avait besoin d'argent.
Papa est mort quand j'avais dix ans et nous avons commencé à avoir des problèmes d'argent. Ma mère devait faire quelque chose pour que nous nous en sortions, alors un an plus tard, elle a épousé Allan. Elle ne l'aimait pas et je savais qu'il ne l'aimait pas non plus.
En pensant à ma mère, j'ai touché le médaillon autour de mon cou. Ma mère me l'avait donné quand j'avais douze ans. C'était à l'époque où elle était en bonne santé. Deux ans plus tard, elle est tombée malade d'un cancer du poumon. Allan s'en fichait éperdument. Il n'a même pas essayé de prendre soin d'elle et de payer ses médicaments. Elle est morte un an plus tard, quand j'avais quinze ans.
J'ai ouvert le médaillon et regardé la photo à l'intérieur. C'était une photographie de ma mère et moi. Nous souriions toutes les deux largement à la caméra. J'étais vraiment heureuse ce jour-là. J'ai soupiré. Tu me manques tellement, Maman. Je savais que tu n'aurais jamais permis que cela arrive.
J'ai refermé le médaillon et suis allée m'allonger sur mon lit. J'étais vraiment reconnaissante que demain soit le premier jour de la terminale, donc je n'aurais plus à être à la maison tout le temps avec lui.
Je me souviens clairement de la première fois qu'il m'a frappée. C'était six mois après la mort de ma mère.
** Flashback **
Je venais de finir mes devoirs et je suis descendue pour me faire un sandwich.
Dès que je suis entrée dans la cuisine, Allan, mon beau-père, était appuyé sur le comptoir, une bouteille de whisky dans la main droite. Je n'ai rien dit parce qu'il était comme ça la plupart du temps. Il ne me parlait même plus.
Je suis allée au frigo pour prendre le fromage, la tomate et la mayonnaise.
"Kayla," j'ai entendu Allan m'appeler. J'ai fermé le frigo et me suis retournée pour lui faire face. J'ai attendu qu'il parle. "Tu ne m'as pas entendu t'appeler ?" a-t-il demandé.
"Non. J'étais dans ma chambre en train de faire mes devoirs." ai-je répondu.
"Quand je t'appelle la prochaine fois, je veux que tu me répondes." a-t-il dit, s'approchant de moi. J'ai froncé le nez à cause de l'odeur d'alcool sur son souffle.
"D'accord, mais je ne t'ai vraiment pas entendu." ai-je dit, confuse par son comportement. C'est arrivé si vite et m'a pris par surprise, mais la chose suivante que je sais, c'est que je tenais ma joue. Il m'avait frappée et ça faisait un mal de chien.
"Tu m'entends ?!" a-t-il rugi.
Je l'ai regardé avec surprise. Bon sang, il devait vraiment être ivre. Je n'aurais jamais pensé qu'il me frapperait. Il ne l'avait jamais fait avant. "Oui." ai-je dit doucement.
"Bien. Maintenant, je n'ai plus de whisky. Je veux que tu ailles au magasin m'en chercher." a-t-il dit en claquant la bouteille vide sur le comptoir.
** Fin du Flashback **
Cela faisait deux ans que c'était arrivé. Deux ans que ma vie n'était plus la même. Deux ans que ma vie était normale. J'avais pensé qu'il m'avait frappée parce qu'il était ivre et que ce serait la dernière fois.
Je ne pouvais pas me tromper davantage.
Il a continué à me frapper pour chaque petite chose et ensuite, ça a empiré. Il était devenu un monstre. Je ne peux vraiment plus supporter ça. J'ai hâte d'avoir dix-huit ans pour pouvoir me tirer d'ici.
Ce jour-là était la première fois qu'il me frappait, mais pas la dernière. Ce n'était que le début.

Goddess Of The Underworld.
When the veil between the Divine, the Living, and the Dead begins to crack, Envy is thrust beneath with a job she can’t drop: keep the worlds from bleeding together, shepherd the lost, and make ordinary into armor, breakfasts, bedtime, battle plans. Peace lasts exactly one lullaby. This is the story of a border pup who became a goddess by choosing her family; of four imperfect alphas learning how to stay; of cake, iron, and daylight negotiations. Steamy, fierce, and full of heart, Goddess of the Underworld is a why-choose, found-family paranormal romance where love writes the rules and keeps three realms from falling apart.

He would do anything to claim her, protect her and cherish her no matter the cost.
From vengeful ex-lovers, pack politics, species prejudice, hidden plots, magic, kidnapping, poisoning, rogue attacks, and a mountain of secrets including Catherine's true parentage there is no shortage of things trying to tear the two apart.
Despite the hardships, a burning desire and willingness to trust will help forge a strong bond between the two... but no bond is unbreakable. When the secrets kept close to heart are slowly revealed, will the two be able to weather the storm? Or will the gift bestowed upon Catherine by the moon goddess be too insurmountable to overcome?
Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.
“You’re unbelievable. I’d rather accept your rejection than live like that.”
As a girl without a wolf, I left my mate and my pack behind.
Among humans, I survived by becoming a master of the temporary: drifting job to job… until I became the best bartender in a dusty Texas town.
That’s where Alpha Adrian found me.
No one could resist the charming Adrian, and I joined his mysterious pack hidden deep in the desert.
The Alpha King Tournament, held once every four years, had begun. Over fifty packs from across North America were competing.
The werewolf world was on the verge of a revolution. That’s when I saw Leon again...
Torn between two Alphas, I had no idea that what awaited us wasn’t just a competition—but a series of brutal, unforgiving trials.

Everyone looked in that direction and there was a man standing there that I had never noticed before.
