view moreLe claquement sec de la porte d’entrée résonna comme un verdict. Malia resta figée sur le seuil, ses yeux fixés sur l’appartement vide, ses mains tremblant encore d’avoir signé ce qu’elle n’aurait jamais dû accepter.
Un contrat. Un simple contrat. Six mois, un salaire indécent, et une condition principale : obéir. C’était ce qu’on lui avait proposé. Et elle avait dit oui. La veille encore, elle jonglait entre trois jobs précaires, des dettes qui s’accumulaient, et une boîte mail remplie de refus polis. Elle avait presque abandonné l’idée de trouver un vrai travail, jusqu’à ce message étrange, tombé dans sa boîte de réception comme une délivrance — ou une malédiction. Objet : Offre de poste – Assistante personnelle Lieu : Confidentiel Salaire : 12 000€/mois Conditions : Discrétion absolue, flexibilité totale. Entretien demain à 9h. Aucune signature. Aucun nom. Juste une adresse. Elle y était allée, par curiosité, par besoin, par instinct de survie. Et maintenant, elle avait un contrat dans son sac, une boule dans le ventre, et aucune idée de ce dans quoi elle venait de s’embarquer. • Malia passa une main dans ses cheveux en bataille et s’effondra sur le canapé. Le silence de l’appartement contrastait avec le chaos dans sa tête. Elle n’avait toujours pas vu son futur employeur. Tout s’était fait par le biais d’un assistant froid et glacial, un certain Hugo, dont le regard était aussi perçant que ses mots étaient neutres. — Votre patron ne se présente jamais en personne ? avait-elle osé demander. Il avait à peine relevé les yeux. — Il sélectionne. Il observe. Il décide ensuite. Puis il lui avait tendu un contrat d’une dizaine de pages. Malia n’en avait lu que les grandes lignes. Trop de chiffres, trop de jargon juridique. Mais les termes essentiels étaient clairs : logement inclus, salaire exorbitant, et surtout… obligation de disponibilité totale. Et maintenant, elle se retrouvait là. Engagée. Prisonnière d’un contrat aux contours flous et à l’odeur de piège. Elle aurait dû refuser. Elle le savait. Mais comment dire non quand on n’a plus rien ? Quand l’électricité menace d’être coupée, que les loyers impayés s’empilent, et que les rêves d’avenir s’effondrent les uns après les autres ? • Un bip sonore la sortit de ses pensées. Son téléphone vibra : Nouveau message - Numéro inconnu “Vous commencerez demain. 7h. Une voiture viendra vous chercher. Soyez prête.” Pas de signature. Pas de merci. Juste un ordre sec, tranchant. Elle sentit un frisson lui parcourir l’échine. • Le lendemain, à 6h59, elle attendait déjà en bas de son immeuble. Le ciel était encore noir, l’air froid piquait ses joues. Une berline noire s’arrêta devant elle, les vitres teintées dissimulant son conducteur. Un homme en costume sombre en descendit et lui ouvrit la portière sans un mot. Elle hésita une seconde — une seconde de trop — avant de monter. Le silence régnait à bord. Aucun mot n’était échangé. Le chauffeur ne la regardait même pas. Tout semblait orchestré, millimétré. Comme si chaque détail de sa vie venait de lui être volé. • Trente minutes plus tard, ils pénétraient dans une propriété hors du temps. Un manoir moderne, aux vitres immenses, isolé sur une colline. L’endroit respirait l’opulence… et l’hostilité. Hugo l’attendait devant l’entrée, bras croisés, expression fermée. — Vous êtes ponctuelle. C’est un bon début. Malia ne répondit pas. Elle se contenta de hocher la tête, les yeux rivés sur la silhouette masculine aperçue à l’étage, derrière une baie vitrée. Un homme. Grand. Élégant. Presque une ombre. Son cœur se mit à battre plus fort sans qu’elle puisse l’expliquer. — Vous le verrez quand il l’aura décidé, lança Hugo en suivant son regard. — Il me voit, lui ? — Toujours. • Ce fut à cet instant qu’elle comprit. Ce contrat n’était pas un emploi. C’était une mise en scène. Un piège. Et elle venait d’y entrer les yeux ouverts. — 🖤 Merci d’avoir lu ce premier chapitre ! 💭 Que pensez-vous du mystérieux contrat de Malia ? Seriez-vous monté(e) dans cette voiture ? 📌 Laissez un commentaire et ajoutez l’histoire à votre bibliothèque pour ne rien manquer ! 🔥 À très vite dans le chapitre 2… les choses sérieuses ne font que commencer !Rya's POVKael's words landed like a second blow, quieter than Aldric's fists had been but somehow worse.I watched him stand there, Aldric's beta, refusing the outcome the Grove itself had already recognized. Around him, Lycan warriors who had watched their king yield began shifting, some uncertain, some already siding with Kael's defiance. I understood, watching his face, that this wasn't ambition. He genuinely believed an Alpha beaten by anything other than raw strength wasn't fit to be followed, and that loyalty meant stepping in where his king had failed.Frost, still bleeding from the fight, straightened beside me anyway. "The terms were binding," he said. "Your king agreed to them before witnesses.""My king is no longer fit to set terms," Kael answered. "I act in his name."I felt the crowd's mood shift, felt how close we were to watching everything we'd just survived collapse into a second war within minutes of the first one ending. Kael had brought enough warriors with him
Rya's POVEver since Frost told the council he meant to challenge Aldric himself, the vision had been creeping back into my sleep, a little sharper each night. At first I told myself it was only the fear talking, the ordinary kind, the kind any mate would feel watching the person they loved walk toward something that could kill him. But fear didn't usually come with this much detail. It didn't usually show me the exact angle Aldric's final blow would land, or the exact moment Frost stopped getting back up. By the third night, I stopped pretending it was nothing.The vision came back the night before the fight, sharper than it had ever been.I was standing in the Sacred Grove again, watching Frost go down under Aldric's weight, watching the moment his strength finally ran out. I woke sweating, gasping, my left hand pressed against m chest while my hand already reaching for him before I was fully conscious, needing to feel that he was still there, still breathing, still warm beside m
Frost's POVFor six nights now, since Rya started coming back to herself, I'd been having the same dream, the same handful of fears on repeat---losing my place as Alpha, losing her again, in some new way I hadn't prepared for, standing in front of the pack with nothing left to offer them. I never told her about any of it those first mornings. Old habit, maybe, or just not wanting to put weight on her while she was still finding her footing again. But six days of waking up with my heart pounding and saying nothing started to feel like exactly the kind of hiding we'd promised each other we were done with.So that morning, I told her about the dream first.We were lying in bed, early morning light just starting to come through the window, and I almost let the moment pass the way I used to. The old instinct was still there—keep it small, don't burden her. But we had promised each other something different now, so I made myself say it out loud."I dreamed I lost the Alpha position," I tol
Rya's POVThe first thing I noticed was the smell. Smoke, spilled wine, and underneath both, blood that hadn't happened yet but somehow already filled the air.I knew where I was before I opened my eyes. I didn't want to look. But the trial didn't care what I wanted, so I opened them anyway.The court. The well lit torches on the walls, the long table, faces I'd known for years — people I'd trusted, people I'd suspected, people I'd never really looked at closely because I'd been too busy surviving. None of them knew yet what was about to happen.Then I saw myself. Younger, colder, wearing the look I remembered from the inside—that sealed-off fury that I had felt, back then, like the most honest thing I had left. I watched her move through the room and I already knew every step, every outcome. I couldn't stop any of it.The trial made me watch closely. I saw a woman who seemed to have a foresight of what was goin to happen before anyone else and tried to run. She didn't make it.I had
Rya's POVI led the troops from the front. I was fully clad in a dark armour—interlocking steel plates which had been molded perfectly to my form. On the breastplate of the armour guarding my chest was a little opening for the Moonstone. It glowed brightly as I drew out my sword from the scabbard.
Lily's POVIt happened that fate decided to smile at me that stormy evening. I was still behind bars, locked up in the darkness and the faint smell of sweat and urine. The thunders roared, alongside the heavy downpour hitting hard against the ceiling. I was looking out through the prison bars, like
Frost's POV I couldn't sleep through the night. I laid there in the silence and darkness, peering at the ceiling, breathing shakily while my mind drifted into the thoughts of Rya. Nothing was hurting more than her absence. And it grew worse when there wasn't a word from her, and possibly not a wo
Rya's POVIn just one week, I had been able to right my wrongs. The people were willing and collaborative. I had taken a census of the first born sons and others who seemed fit enough for battle. There were a thousand who were willing to lay their lives down just to defend the pack and their famil
