Introduction
« Theo, s'il te plaît... » dis-je, mais cela sort comme un gémissement.
Je peux sentir le sourire sur ses lèvres alors qu'il s'attarde sur mon cou.
« Je sais que tu me veux, Hayley », dit-il.
Il déplace ses deux mains vers ma taille, son parfum m'enveloppant, me transformant en une masse tremblante.
Je peux sentir les cercles qu'il dessine sur mes hanches à travers ma robe, qui remonte de plus en plus...
J'ai tout gâché.
Je vais tromper la personne qui a été là pour moi à travers toutes les épreuves.

Chapter 1
HAYLEY
Mon téléphone sonne fort alors que je continue de travailler sur la pile de formulaires laissés sur mon bureau.
Je grogne à haute voix.
Je saisis mon téléphone et fixe l'écran avec le nom de l'appelant : Maman.
Pourquoi diable m'appelle-t-elle ?
Je soupire et réponds à son appel, affichant un sourire forcé. « Salut maman, je ne peux pas parler. Je suis débordée de formulaires. C'est important ? » lui demandé-je en regardant par la porte de mon bureau pour voir mon assistante travailler avec mon petit ami.
Je ne peux m'empêcher de les surveiller du coin de l'œil.
« Salut Hayley, je suis contente de t'avoir eue, je me demandais si tu viendrais à la maison pour Noël », demande-t-elle. « J'ai décidé d'organiser nos fameuses fêtes de Noël familiales comme autrefois, toute la meute est invitée mais je veux que ma fille soit là », dit-elle.
« Maman, je ne peux pas... » mais elle me coupe avec un gros soupir. « Ne me dis pas que tu dois travailler pendant tout Noël, la fête est dans cinq mois, tu peux réserver du temps et rester quelques jours », dit-elle. « En plus, tes deux frères seront là et comme Harvey travaille avec toi et qu'il a pris des congés pour passer du temps avec nous, tu peux en faire autant. Ce sera amusant. » dit-elle.
« D'accord, je te recontacte. Je dois retourner au travail, j'ai beaucoup à faire », dis-je et raccroche.
Je soupire encore, bruyamment.
Je fixe le couple devant moi ; étant une louve, je peux entendre à quelques mètres. J'écoute ce qu'ils disent.
« Donc je dois ajouter le rendez-vous dans le calendrier pour vous et je m'assure que tout soit envoyé à Hayley une fois que c'est fait », dit Maxine à Shane, qui me tourne maintenant le dos.
Je ne peux plus écouter ; s'il y a encore du travail qui m'est envoyé, je vais devoir passer une autre nuit blanche.
Je regarde autour de mon bureau ; il y a déjà six piles de formulaires à traiter. Je soupire à nouveau et baisse la tête, continuant le travail que j'avais devant moi.
Après une heure à passer en revue les formulaires, je prends la pile que j'ai complétée. Même s'il y en avait encore, je pensais que M. Harris pourrait les signer avant que je ne continue. Je sors du bureau, pas de signe de Maxine ou Shane, mais je hausse les épaules et me dirige vers le bureau de M. Norris.
Une fois arrivée, je frappe à la porte et entre. Je ne peux m'empêcher de regarder cet homme.
C'était un grand homme, mais il avait un cœur en or, même s'il ne savait pas gérer son argent correctement, d'où ma présence ici. Je suis celle qui signe chaque accord et investissement fait ici, qu'il soit grand ou petit.
Je pose les formulaires sur son bureau et m'apprête à sortir de la pièce. « Hayley, puis-je te parler un moment ? » dit-il derrière son bureau.
Je me retourne et lui souris. « Oui monsieur »
Il me sourit. « Ferme la porte et prends un siège, s'il te plaît. »
Je ferme la porte et prends la chaise en face de lui. Il me regarde. "Tu sais, tu as été un atout pour cette entreprise, mais je me demande si tu ne voudrais pas prendre quelques jours de vacances," dit-il. "Tu as la plupart de ceux de l'année dernière et la plupart de cette année à utiliser."
Je ne dis rien.
Il me regarde. "Hayley, tu es douée dans ton travail et je gérerai, je mettrai Shane en charge de ton bureau pendant que tu prends du temps libre," dit-il. "Je n'aime pas la tournure que cela prend. Harvey a mentionné qu'il y a une grande fête de famille qui approche environ deux semaines avant Noël, pourquoi ne pas prendre ce temps libre et passer trois semaines avec ta famille ?"
Je le fixe.
Je ne veux pas rentrer chez moi.
"Patron, je ne veux vraiment pas..." mais il me coupe en levant la main et en secouant la tête. "Hayley, tu prends du temps libre. Tu le mérites et puis, qui ne veut pas être en famille à Noël ?" dit-il avec une pointe de tristesse dans la voix.
Je hoche la tête. "Si vous êtes sûr, je pourrais emporter un peu de travail avec moi et vous avez mon email," dis-je mais il secoue encore la tête. "Ce ne sera pas nécessaire Hayley, tu vas passer les fêtes avec ta famille. Quand tu reviendras, nous passerons tout en revue," dit-il.
"D'accord, merci, patron," dis-je en me levant de la chaise.
Je sors de la pièce et me dirige directement vers mon bureau où Shane m'attend.
"Salut beauté, qu'est-ce que le patron voulait ?" demande-t-il.
"Apparemment, je dois prendre des congés et les passer avec ma famille," dis-je, d'un ton sarcastique.
Shane me regarde un moment. "Chérie, c'est une idée géniale ; tu peux retourner chez ta mère et t'assurer qu'elle va bien. Je m'occuperai de tout ici. Tu peux aussi lui parler de nous," dit-il avec un sourire.
Ma louve Raina grogne. "Pas question," dit-elle. Elle est sur ses gardes à propos de Shane depuis cinq mois, depuis que nous avons emménagé ensemble.
Je lui souris. "Tu es sûr de pouvoir gérer les finances du patron, la plupart auront besoin de ma signature mais je sais que ma mère a une imprimante et un scanner à la maison, tu peux me les envoyer par email et je te les renverrai," dis-je.
Shane me sourit. "Eh bien, c'est réglé alors, quand pars-tu ? Je veux t'emmener dîner," dit-il.
"Dans trois semaines," dis-je.
Shane reste un moment, mais part dès que Maxine arrive avec un autre lot de formulaires à trier.
Une fois qu'ils sont partis, je me remets au travail.
Je suppose que je vais rentrer chez moi, à la meute, pour trois semaines.
"Nous pourrions trouver notre compagnon," dit Raina dans ma tête.
Je ne dis rien.
Les compagnons sont quelque chose qui me plaît, mais j'ai été blessée dans le passé par un loup de la meute. J'espère juste pouvoir gérer le fait de retourner chez moi avec ma mère, mes frères et j'espère aussi qu'il ne sera pas là.

"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected. You drive me crazier than anyone I've ever met, but then you make me feel complete. I'm feeling things I don't quite know how to process and that makes me want to run. I don't want to give up something that might be really, really good, but I also don't want to be stupid and fall for a boy just because he's super pretty and makes me come."

Fresh out of high school and suffocating in her dead-end hometown, Margot longs for her escape.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…

Or just be his.

He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.

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.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
