MANPREET KAUR

« Papa, s'il te plaît ! Ne fais pas ça ! » suppliai-je en levant les mains. « C'est fait, Tegan, le contrat est signé. Tu partiras ce soir pour être la compagne contractée du Roi Alpha. Tu lui donneras un héritier dans les trois mois, ou tu le regretteras ! » Il rugit, son visage montrant à quel point il était vraiment en colère. Je pleurais silencieusement face aux cartes que le destin m'avait distribuées. Je ne serai rien de plus qu'une machine à faire des bébés pour l'Alpha le plus cruel connu, Ezra Hendricks. Tegan Declan était une louve timide née sourde. Elle commençait une nouvelle vie en tant que louve handicapée dans une nouvelle meute. Elle est la nouvelle compagne contractée du Roi Alpha, Ezra Hendricks. « Être sourd est une qualité que je détesterais que mon fils ait. En tant que louve, tu as besoin de tous tes sens pour pouvoir diriger, protéger et rester en vie. Manquer d'audition ne profiterait à personne, cela pourrait mener à une destruction massive et à la perte de nombreuses vies. Ce ne serait pas une bonne qualité pour un roi. Cela me ramena à ma question. Qu'est-ce qui lui fait penser qu'elle est apte à être ma Reine ? Je veux savoir ce qu'elle pense être ses forces. Est-ce qu'elles l'emporteraient sur ses faiblesses ? »

Seven years ago, Emerald Hutton had left her family and friends behind for high school in New York City, cradling her broken heart in her hands, to escape just one person. Her brother's best friend, whom she loved from the day he had saved her from bullies at the age of seven. Broken by the boy of her dreams and betrayed by her loved ones, Emerald had learned to bury the pieces of her heart in the deepest corner of her memories. Until seven years later, she has to come back to her hometown after finishing her college. The place where now the cold-hearted stone of a billionaire resides, whom her dead heart once used to beat for. Scarred by his past, Achilles Valencian had turned into the man everyone feared. The scorch of his life had filled his heart with bottomless darkness. And the only light that had kept him sane, was his Rosebud. A girl with freckles and turquoise eyes he'd adored all his life. His best friend's little sister. After years of distance, when the time has finally come to capture his light into his territory, Achilles Valencian will play his game. A game to claim what's his. Will Emerald be able to distinguish the flames of love and desire to keep her heart safe? Or she will let the devil lure her into his trap? Because no one ever could escape his games. He gets what he wants. And this game is called... The trap of Ace.
