The day we got a new Alpha, my family was forced to become Omega. Because our new Alpha, Alpha Jaxon, was a violent and cruel man who didn't trust any of the pack's former warriors. I refused to accept him as my Alpha, he's a bad guy, and rumor had it that the Moon Goddess didn't even give him a mate. But ironically, as soon as I saw him, I felt a warmth for him. How could this have happened? And he had already found a contract partner! I tried my best to avoid him, but he always noticed me, with his charming and sexy look... The worst part was that in order to accomplish my family's revenge, I had to get close to Alpha Jaxon, seduce him and make him fall completely in love with me... --- "I'm not sure this is the way to welcome your Alpha," he said, inches from my lips. I stopped for a second to try to calm down, the adrenaline flowing, as my wolf and I savored the comfort of being so close to him again. "Hmm, maybe that's true, except you're not my Alpha yet," I replied in a seductive and natural tone. Our faces were so close that the heat of our breaths collided, I wanted so much for him to give in and close the distance between us. "You feel it, don't you? Your wolf is howling inside you for me to mark you... right... here...", Jaxon nipped my neck ever so lightly. I felt like my legs were going to give out from under me at any moment. He moved his hand just under my sweater, to my back. He pulled me closer to his hardness as his gaze held a silent promise.
Angry shouts and orders barked throughout the courtyard, accompanied by the heavy and determined footsteps of the warriors who surrounded the heroine's family estate. She stood behind the door, peering through a thin slit to see what was happening, her hands trembling slightly. Everything in the air held the promise of violent and merciless change, a sentence that his heart already felt falling upon them.
She finally saw the Alpha, Jaxon , surrounded by his lieutenants, his gaze as cold and piercing as iron. His aura dominated the place, imposing a chilling silence despite the agitation that reigned. Murmurs circulated among the members of the pack, but no one really dared to stare at him. He embodied raw power, absolute power, and his presence left no room for doubt: this man was ready to crush those who dared oppose him.
The heroine felt a shiver slide down her spine as she saw him for the first time. His rigid posture, his severe features, and that icy gaze that seemed to see beyond appearances. A part of her, a part she would have preferred to ignore, felt an inexplicable attraction, like a dark magnetism, an invisible force that pushed her to linger on him. But at the same time, a visceral fear emerged, knowing that this man, this new Alpha, would likely only bring them pain.
Suddenly, Jaxon 's voice rose, cold and implacable. "From this day forward, this family is demoted to the rank of Omegas. » His tone was definitive, sharp as a blade, as his gaze scanned the crowd to ensure no resistance was shown.
The heroine's father stepped forward, his face full of distress. He knew what this demotion meant for them all: an irreversible social degradation, a life of humiliation, of servitude. He tried to bow respectfully, but anxiety made him hesitate, and he stammered awkwardly, "Please, Alpha Jaxon ... my family... they have always served loyally... my father before me ...we always..."
Jaxon didn't let his father finish. His gaze became darker, almost dangerous. " Loyalty ? » he spat, the word poisoned with disdainful contempt. "Your family may have served, but not in the way I expect. I will not tolerate any weakness among my people. »
The heroine clenched her fists, struggling to suppress the feeling of anger rising within her. Her father deserved better, she knew that. He had done everything in his power to protect and serve the pack. But now this new leader, this merciless Alpha, swept away everything they had accomplished, reducing them to nothing more than Omegas. She felt frustrated tears stinging her eyes, but she held them back. Showing your pain or anger will only make things worse.
Jaxon 's soldiers began to approach their home, already taking steps to reorganize their possessions, relegating them to the Omega quarters without a word of hesitation. Once valuable objects, symbols of respectable position, were reduced to mere burdens for them. The heroine felt the heat of rage rise within her, but she stood there, frozen, torn between her desire to defend her father and her awareness of the danger this Alpha represented.
Then, without really thinking about it, she came out of her hiding place and walked towards Jaxon . She stood straight, her jaw clenched, and looked into his eyes. She couldn't look away, even though everything in her was screaming at her not to provoke him further. It was as if a silent challenge rose between them, a moment suspended in time where she challenged his authority with her mere presence.
He noticed her immediately, his eyes scanning her with a calculating coldness, as if he were evaluating every aspect of her. The heroine felt her heart pounding, but she didn't move. She felt that same mixture of fear and attraction, as if she were approaching an irresistible abyss.
Jaxon raised an eyebrow, a slight wry smile appearing on his lips. "And who are you to dare to stand before me? » he asked in a voice that mixed amusement and menace.
She swallowed hard, her throat dry under the intensity of his gaze. But she answered, her voice firmer than she expected. "I am the daughter of that man you so easily despise, Alpha. He deserves more respect than you give him. »
A dead silence fell around them, all eyes turning to the Alpha to observe his reaction. No one had ever dared to address him in this way, least of all a simple descendant of Omega. Jaxon 's eyes narrowed, and for a moment she thought she saw a spark of interest in his eyes, something inscrutable.
"Respect..." he said, repeating the word, his voice low and dangerous. "We don't ask for respect. We take it. » He took a step towards her, closing the distance between them, his imposing shadow almost enveloping the frail figure of the heroine. "Are you willing to pay the price to get respect? » he called, his tone icy but strangely fascinating.
She had no answer. She felt hypnotized, trapped by his piercing gaze and his relentless charisma. Every survival instinct screamed at her to move away, to look down, but she couldn't, not this time. It was as if an invisible force was forcing her to stand in front of him, to show that she wouldn't give in so easily.
Jaxon , visibly amused by her silent challenge, let out a snort. "You have guts, I'll give you that. But know one thing..." He lowered his voice, almost whispering in her ear. "Courage, among the weak, is just a waste of time. »
She shivered, not only from Jaxon 's proximity, but also from hearing the coldness in his words. She felt her fingers clench involuntarily, trying to suppress the wave of emotion that threatened to overwhelm her. However, she didn't turn away, locking his gaze with him, her silence becoming her only form of resistance.
After a few seconds, he finally pulled back, watching the heroine with a defiant glint in his eyes. "Omegas are the foundation of this pack, but they will stay where I place them. Do not forget her, daughter of Omega. » He turned on his heel, leaving behind a crushing weight of frustration and anger.
As Jaxon walked away, the heroine felt her father place a trembling hand on her shoulder, trying to bring her back to reality. "Don't ever do that again..." he whispered in a voice full of despair. "This man could break you with a snap of his fingers. »
She nodded, but deep down she knew something indelible had been etched in that moment. A dark and inexplicable bond had been born, something she never wanted to feel, but which she could no longer deny.

There's nothing extraordinary about me. I'm not strong, I don't have that confidence. If something happens to me, I can't save myself. I will just be a huge burden." > "No," he cuts me off, and I can see a glint of anger in his eyes. "YOU ARE NOT a burden. You are my partner. Destiny brought you to me." > > "Fate didn't create me for anyone, Nathan. No one wants me." I say as my voice begins to shake. It's not going the way I thought it would. I never imagined having to convince my partner that I'm not good enough. But this man continues to surprise me as he grabs me and pulls me onto his lap. > "There are people who want YOU, Clara.

"No, no, no, why me? Not to you !!" I said, incredulous. His grip has tightened around my waist, and he murmured insistently: "You are mine. You don't belong to anyone else. You will not understand? You will not touch another man, you will not speak to Another man. Then he buried his face in the hollow of my neck, deeply inspired. But ... how was I supposed to react to this? And why did I have the impression that my heart was racing in spite of myself?
