Bas Tu Hi Piya

La convocatoria del Rey Licántropo llegó a las cincuenta y seis manadas de los Territorios del Norte: estaba eligiendo una Luna para su heredero. La reputación de brutalidad del heredero lo precedía. Por eso mi madre cambió el nombre de mi hermana Freya por el mío. Su voz no dejaba espacio para discutir. —Elsa, el espíritu lobo de tu hermana aún no ha despertado por completo —dijo, y su voz no daba ni el más mínimo espacio para discutir—. No sobrevivirá al viaje. Ve tú en su lugar… participa por ella en las Pruebas de la Luna. —Hizo una pausa. Me apretó la mano, y las lágrimas resbalaron por sus mejillas en el momento justo—. Cuando todo acabe, tu hermano irá por ti. Lo juro por la Diosa de la Luna. En mi vida pasada, yo había creído en ese juramento. Por esto, había viajado hasta la fortaleza del Rey Licántropo, solo para que el mismísimo heredero me eligiera a mí. A duras penas escapé de allí con vida. Hui entre ventiscas durante siete días y siete noches, hasta que por fin conseguí perder a quienes me perseguían. Después de dos años como loba errante, logré regresar a la Manada Colmillo de Escarcha… justo a tiempo para presenciar el rito de marca de Freya con el Alfa. Mi madre estaba en el centro de la celebración y me miró como si yo no existiera. —Errante. Aquí no hay lugar para ti. Expulsada por segunda vez, perdí toda esperanza. Morí sola, en medio de una ventisca. Cuando recuperé la conciencia, me encontré de nuevo en el salón de piedra. Ella tenía la misma expresión de siempre y me observaba con esos ojos calculadores. —Elsa, ¿tomarías el lugar de Freya en las Pruebas de la Luna?

She was born a bastard. They poured wine on her, laughed at her mother’s grave, and thought she’d stay broken. They were wrong. Ava Rosier took their scorn, their money, and their men, one ruthless billionaire, one mafia emperor, and one forbidden brother who shares her blood. Now the illegitimate daughter sits on the throne they built, crown forged from their tears, rose petals dipped in their blood. Three psychopaths kneel at her feet, obsessed, ruined, and willing to burn the world for her smile. She never chose between them. She chose everything. This is the rise of the Blackened Queen. And no one escapes her empire alive.

Sejak sahabat masa kecil Irfan meninggal, dia membenciku selama sepuluh tahun penuh. Hari kedua setelah menikah, dia langsung mengajukan diri ke organisasi untuk pergi ke perbatasan. Selama sepuluh tahun itu, aku menulis surat tanpa henti, berusaha menunjukkan ketulusanku. Tapi, balasan yang kuterima selalu hanya satu kalimat. [Kalau kamu benar-benar merasa bersalah, lebih baik cepat mati saja!] Namun, saat aku diculik, dia malah menerobos markas penjahat seorang diri, menembus hujan peluru demi menyelamatkanku. Sebelum meninggal, dengan sisa tenaganya, dia menepis tanganku dengan keras. “Menikah denganmu… adalah penyesalan terbesarku….” “Kalau ada kehidupan berikutnya, kumohon jangan pernah datang menggangguku lagi….” Di pemakaman, ibu Irfan menangis penuh penyesalan. “Anakku, ini salahku… aku nggak seharusnya memaksamu….” Ayah Irfan juga menatapku penuh kebencian. “Kamu sudah membunuh Selina, sekarang juga membunuh anakku. Dasar pembawa sial! Kok kamu nggak mati saja?!” Bahkan komandan yang dulu mati-matian mendukung pernikahan kami hanya bisa menggeleng dan menghela napas. “Ini salahku yang dulu memisahkan mereka, aku benar-benar bersalah pada Irfan.” Semua orang merasa kasihan pada Irfan. Termasuk diriku sendiri. Aku dikeluarkan dari organisasi dan malam itu juga, aku menelan racun di tengah sawah yang sepi. Saat membuka mata kembali, aku mendapati diriku kembali ke malam sebelum pernikahan. Kali ini, aku memutuskan untuk merelakan semuanya.

Sa edad na dalawampu’t dalawa, mag-isa na lang sa mundo si Alina Torres. Maaga siyang naulila sa ama, at iniwan naman siya ng sariling ina para sumama sa ibang pamilya. Wala na siyang ibang mapupuntahan kundi ang taong kinatatakutan niya noon pa man—ang kanyang ninong, si Sebastian Villalobos, isang makapangyarihan at mayamang negosyante na kilala sa pagiging malamig, istrikto, at isang taong walang inuurungan. Ngunit sa ilalim ng malamig nitong anyo ay ang lalaking handang akuin ang responsibilidad na alagaan at ipagtanggol ang inaanak. Hindi niya alam kung paano tatanggapin si Alina sa buhay niya, lalo na’t habang lumilipas ang mga araw, hindi na inosente ang kanyang nararamdaman para rito. Samantala, si Alina naman ay nahahati sa pagitan ng takot at pagtitiwala. Takot, dahil alam niyang mahigpit at mapanganib ang mundo ng kanyang ninong. Pagtitiwala, dahil siya lang ang nag-abot ng kamay sa oras na lahat ay tumalikod sa kanya. Sa pagitan ng mga lihim, pangamba, at damdaming pilit nilang itinatanggi.

Two years ago, Carrie Lowe was a dedicated sports doctor whose life was ruined in a single night. After discovering her husband was cheating, she impulsively kissed the famous athlete and billionaire Jake Slater at a club to get back at him. Instead of being a gentleman, Jake went on national television and branded her a "desperate groupie" who was an embarrassment to her profession. This public shaming caused Carrie to lose her job and her reputation, forcing her to flee to Europe to rebuild her life under a new name and a cold, professional mask. Now, Carrie has returned to Los Angeles as Dr. Carrie Vance, an elite specialist that every top athlete is dying to work with. Meanwhile, Jake is facing a career-ending injury and a group of greedy investors trying to steal his sports agency. When he comes to her clinic for help, he has no idea that the brilliant doctor in front of him is the same woman he once humiliated. Desperate to prove to his board members that he is stable and in control, Jake offers Carrie five million dollars to pretend to be his devoted partner for a year. Carrie takes the deal, but her true goal isn't the money; it's the chance to get close enough to watch Jake lose everything. By stepping into his world as his private doctor, she gains total power over his recovery and his public image. However, as they navigate high-stakes galas and intense private sessions, the fake relationship starts to feel dangerously real. Carrie must eventually decide if she will follow through with her plan to destroy the man who crushed her, or if the growing spark between them is worth risking her heart all over again.

I don't need a weak pathetic bond like this to survive," He growled as he grabbed a fistful of my hair and harshly threw me on the bed. I was naked and helpless in front of his menacing eyes. "Sebastian, please don't do this..." "I have purchased you from that auction only because you'll come in use to tame my wolf, and you are nothing but a good that I will use every day and night for my pleasure. And your life in hell starts from today." "Please don't..." I begged but none of my words affected him. I backed away till my body hit against the headboard but he dragged me by my ankles and shredded the last piece of fabric, my panties, and threw it away. **** After being sold by my parents to auctioneers because of being a wolf-less she-wolf, When fate landed me in my mate's arms from the auction, for once I thought I was finally going to find happiness...someone who'd love me.

Meu filho de três anos, Ethan, se perdeu e acabou no território dos renegados, onde foi brutalmente assassinado. Quando fiquei sabendo disso, eu simplesmente desmaiei. Quando acordei, meu companheiro Alfa, Alexander, segurava minha mão com força. A voz dele estava rouca de tanto chorar. — Ivy, eu juro que vou vingar o Ethan. Vou dilacerar esses malditos renegados com minhas próprias garras. Mas apenas três dias depois, durante o funeral, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Alexander e o seu Beta, Marcus. — Alfa, eu não entendo — Marcus parecia confuso — Por que você não deixou o médico da alcateia salvar o Ethan? Ele só estava muito machucado, mas se tivéssemos agido a tempo... — Foi o Lucas. Ele empurrou o Ethan sem querer no território dos renegados — a voz de Alexander estava carregada de dor — mas ele é só uma criança que não conhece os limites do território. Ele não fez de propósito. — Se eu tivesse deixado o médico cuidar do Ethan, o menino teria contado a verdade a todos. Sophia acabaria presa e o Conselho condenaria Lucas à morte. Eu não podia deixar isso acontecer. — Alexander completou. — Mas e o herdeiro da alcateia? — Marcus perguntou, apreensivo. — Não faz diferença — a voz de Alexander voltou a uma calma assustadora — Assim que Ivy se acalmar, eu vou trazer o Lucas de volta. Nós vamos dizer que ele é um órfão adotado e o próximo Alfa será criado pela própria Ivy. Então, a pessoa que matou o meu filho era o filho ilegítimo dele com a amante. Meu filho poderia ter sido salvo, mas Alexander preferiu sacrificar o meu Ethan por causa desse bastardo. Disquei um número que não ligava há cinco anos. — Papai, sou eu. A Ivy. — Mudei de ideia — disse, com a voz soando fria e firme. — Vou voltar para herdar a Alcateia Real. — E quanto à Alcateia Pedra da Lua? — Eu quero que a Pedra da Lua seja apagada da existência.

"You are the reason..." I said with shaky hands. "Tavi..." Essex breathed. "I swear I would break down every mountain and build never ending bridges to get to you, mate. You're the reason my heart is still bleeding," I replied with glossy eyes. "You are my reason, Tavi," he said before crashing his lips into mine. "I cannot lose you," I replied allowing those tears to freely fall. "You won't. I love you," he said kissing my tears away.
