Kaelani avait passé sa vie à croire qu'elle était sans loup.
Rejetée par sa meute. Oubliée par les Lycans.
Elle vivait parmi les humains—silencieuse, invisible, cachée dans une ville que personne ne regardait deux fois.

Mais lorsque sa première chaleur arrive sans prévenir, tout change.

Son corps s'embrase. Ses instincts crient. Et quelque chose de primal s'agite sous sa peau—
invoquant un grand et terrible Alpha qui sait exactement comment éteindre son feu.

Quand il la revendique, c’est l'extase et la ruine.

Pour la première fois, elle croit qu'elle a été acceptée.
Vue.
Choisie.

Jusqu'à ce qu'il la quitte le lendemain matin—
comme un secret à ne jamais révéler.

Mais Kaelani n'est pas ce qu'ils pensaient.
Pas sans loup. Pas faible.
Il y a quelque chose d'ancien en elle. Quelque chose de puissant. Et cela se réveille.

Et quand cela se produira—
ils se souviendront tous de la fille qu'ils ont essayé d'effacer.

Surtout lui.

Elle sera le rêve qu'il continue de poursuivre… la seule chose qui lui ait jamais donné l'impression d'être vivant.

Parce que les secrets ne restent jamais enterrés.
Et les rêves non plus.

Riley
Nouveau nom, nouveau look, nouvelle vie. J'ai pris soin de garder mon passé à distance. La dernière chose dont j'avais besoin, c'était que cet étranger aux yeux calmes et perspicaces croise mon chemin. Je dois l'éviter à tout prix, même s'il hante mes rêves et envoie des vagues de chaleur sur ma peau. Mon objectif est la survie, pas le désir. Même s'il a éveillé en moi un désir que je n'aurais jamais cru possible.

Draven
Une mission. Trouver les filles disparues et traduire le coupable en justice. Une justice rétributive. Je me suis habitué aux ombres, mais je suis attiré par sa lumière. Comme un papillon de nuit attiré par une flamme, la seule façon de calmer ma curiosité est de la satisfaire. Mais pas trop. Pas complètement.

EXTRAIT :
"Tu me veux, n'est-ce pas ?" Une question simple qui méritait une réponse simple.
"Devrais-je te faire examiner pour une blessure à la tête ?" ricana-t-il, un coup rapide qui me coupa le souffle et je réalisai que je retenais ma respiration. Mes lèvres s'entrouvrirent et ma poitrine se souleva, travaillant d'arrache-pied pour reconstituer l'oxygène de mon corps après ces quelques instants de privation.
Raidir ma colonne vertébrale, je fis un pas en avant, envahissant son espace, inconsciente des regards qui se tournaient vers nous. Ou étais-je en train d'imaginer cela ? Draven ne bougea pas, un sourcil parfaitement dessiné s'élevant alors qu'il considérait mon mouvement avec peu d'intérêt. Il n'y avait pas la moindre lueur d'émotion sur ses traits, même ce sourire trompeur et maudit n'apparut pas.
"Alors tu n'as aucune raison de menacer un homme qui pourrait m'intéresser." Je soufflai les mots lentement, érotiquement.
