Au lasso (The Untamed t. 1) - French Edition

I try to forget her, but it's an impossible task. Conor and I grew up together, sharing the milestones of our youth—our first love, first kiss, and so many other unforgettable moments. Well, not all of our firsts. That night when she was violently attacked while I helplessly looked on is forever etched in my memory. I will never forget the echoes of her suffering, nor the deep, lingering sorrow that engulfed me when she left Oklahoma.

Years later, she returns to honor the pact we made as teenagers. Yet, the boy she once loved has vanished, replaced by a rugged rancher filled with hidden secrets. She remains unaware of the dark desires that haunt me or the tumultuous path that has led me back to her. While I may not feel worthy of her, one undeniable truth remains: she is mine.

In the moments when I think back to our shared past, I am flooded with memories—the laughter we shared, the dreams we built together. But those memories are shadowed by the trauma of that fateful night. I remember her eyes, filled with fear and pain, a look I felt utterly powerless to alleviate. It’s a burden I carry, one that has shaped me in ways I am still uncovering.

As she steps back into my life, I find myself grappling with conflicting emotions. There’s a yearning to rekindle what we once had, yet fear clings to my heart; fear of opening wounds that might never heal, and fear of revealing the darker sides of myself that I have kept hidden for so long. I often wonder if she could ever truly understand the depths of my struggle.

She sees the new me—the rancher, the man of the land—but those layers conceal a soul ravaged by guilt and regret. The boy who once promised to protect her now bears the weight of failed dreams. I have longed for her return, yet I question my ability to offer her the love and protection she deserves.

Still, as I observe her from afar, I can’t help but feel a magnetic pull toward her. Despite the scars of the past, I realize that my heart still beats for her. The knowledge that she is close, perhaps within reach, ignites a spark of hope within me. It whispers that perhaps we can create new memories, ones that will overshadow the echoes of our shared tragedy.

But first, I must confront my demons. I must summon the courage to share my truth with her, to lay bare my soul and reveal the man I’ve become. Only then can I hope to reclaim what we lost. The journey ahead is daunting, but the desire to make things right drives me forward. Deep down, I know that despite it all, she is meant to be by my side. And so, I embark on this path, determined to honor our past while forging a future that is truly ours.
