La chica que le gusta a mi hermano me acusó falsamente de bullying. Mi hermano, el mismo con quien había compartido todo desde siempre, en un arrebato de furia, me mandó a un convento para que me corrigieran. Con el tiempo, me volví la hermana perfecta que él siempre había soñado: callada, obediente, sin deseos propios. Pero cuando leyó mi historial médico, perdió la razón. —¡Natalia, por favor... llámame hermano una vez más!

En el festival de la manada, una bruja me entrega un orbe de cristal que revela la verdad. Cuando le pregunto por qué, me dice que le fue encomendada su tarea y me recuerda que solo lo use cuando esté sola. A medida que la imagen en el orbe se hace más clara y aparece mi compañero, me olvido de cómo respirar. —Jared Hamilton, ¿me amas? —pregunta una mujer con su voz más dulce, rodeándole el cuello con sus brazos. —Sí. Claro que sí. Eres la única a quien amaré el resto de mi vida, Luciana. Mi mano resbala. Incluso después de que el orbe de cristal toca el suelo, todavía puedo oírlos hablar. —Juro ante la sagrada Diosa de la Luna que estaré contigo, Luciana Rose, hasta mi último aliento. Si alguna vez rompo este juramento, que nunca vuelva a conocer la alegría. Me siento sofocada. Solo puedo mirarlo con incredulidad. La mujer a la que jura amar de por vida no es otra que mi mejor amiga.

Three years into my marriage with Shawn, I found out I was pregnant. I nervously but joyfully prepared to surprise him with the news. Yet what I received was the news of Shawn’s accidental death. Devastated by the blow, I miscarried the child and killed myself in despair. However, after death, I saw him drinking and mocking me with his rowdy friends. “Samantha is so dumb. I can’t believe she really fell for that prank. Does she really think I’d be fooled by her? I’m not an idiot like her. What, she’s pregnant? If she was going to make up something to fool me, she should have at least made it more believable.” But our child really was gone, and I had really died.

I've been in a three-year relationship with Antonio Bianco, the successor of the Bianco family. Everyone knows very well how much he loves me. But everything has changed the moment Antonio's older brother passes away, leaving behind his newly-widowed wife, Rosetta Serra, who's also pregnant. Antonio heeds Augusto Bianco's last wish by taking great care of Rosetta. He even ditches me at the altar numerous times for her sake. On our 51st wedding, Antonio still ends up leaving with Rosetta, who keeps crying her heart out. I just gaze at the way Antonio scrambles to come up with a new excuse. I notice how skillfully the wedding planning company is cleaning up the wedding venue in advance. I also spot the flash of a provocative smile Rosetta has shown to me behind Antonio's back as she links arms with him. Suddenly, I feel like a total joke for being with such a man over the past three years. When the hotel manager gives me the bill, he asks casually, "When will the 52nd wedding be held, Ms. Marino? We can make the preparations in advance." "There's no need for a wedding anymore," I respond with a smile. "Even if a wedding is to be held, the groom won't be the same person anyway." After leaving the hotel, I dial the number of the person in charge of the International Medical Organization. "Hello, I'm Cecilia Marino. I'd like to accept your invitation to join your organization, and I can leave anytime soon."

Estaba a punto de formar un vínculo de sangre con otro lord vampiro. Pero mi pareja de un siglo, Kaelan, no tenía ni idea de esto. Él se encontraba demasiado ocupado encariñándose con su nueva asistente humana, Sylvia. Han pasado noches enteras en su oficina, bajo el pretexto de estar «investigando sangre sintética». Incluso convirtió nuestro aniversario de cien años en la fiesta de cumpleaños de ella. Ese día, frente a todos, Kaelan le presentó un pastel Selva Negra decorado con «Silver Bells». Ellos se reían, untándose glaseado el uno al otro. Se olvidaron que esas flores son un veneno mortal para mí. Mi poder se hizo añicos. La agonía me desgarró mientras las sombras se desataban, incontrolables. Los guardias de mi familia tuvieron que arrastrar mi cuerpo convulsionando. Y, mientras yo me recuperaba sola en la bóveda fría y oscura, Kaelan seguía en la fiesta, bañándose en los vítores para él y Sylvia. La sangre en mis venas se convirtió en hielo. Un siglo de amor y esperanza se redujo a cenizas. En ese momento, acepté el arreglo de mi familia. Sin dudarlo. Una unión con el lord del Trono de Obsidiana; un vampiro del que dicen que es la encarnación del poder.

En mi vida pasada, Leon, el Alfa que se suponía que completaría conmigo la ceremonia de marcado, cambió de repente a su compañera elegida por mi hermana menor, Rose, justo el día del ritual. Al verlos a los dos comportarse con tanta intimidad, una oleada de humillación me barrió por dentro. Sin embargo, justo cuando estaba a punto de dar un paso al frente y exigir una explicación, la manada fue atacada por sorpresa. Los tres morimos en el motín. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día de la ceremonia de marcado. Esta vez, decidí cumplirles el deseo. Después de liderar a los miembros para sofocar el motín que habría ocurrido en mi vida pasada, dejé la manada y me adentré en la sociedad humana. Creí que en esta vida jamás volvería a cruzarme con ellos. No obstante, tres años después, el día de un banquete de cumpleaños, me reencontré inesperadamente con Rose y Leon. Rose se acurrucaba con timidez en los brazos de Leon, y me saludó con una expresión de sorpresa fingida. —¡Claire! ¿Qué haces en un banquete tan grandioso como este? ¿No te habías ido a vivir a la sociedad humana? Cuando guardé silencio, Rose se burló de mí con una risita. —¿No me digas que no pudiste sobrevivir en la sociedad humana y ahora quieres volver a la manada? Leon me miró de reojo, con un asco que ni siquiera intentó ocultar. —Jamás aceptaría dejar que regreses a la manada, ni aunque te arrodillaras a suplicármelo. Pero, pénsandolo bien, como mi esclava todavía calificas. Podríamos volver a como era antes. Sonreí, apenas. Yo estaba allí porque mi compañero era el nuevo Ultima de la Alianza de las manadas de lobos. Y ese exquisito banquete de cumpleaños había sido preparado especialmente para mí.

Selina Vanderbilt was raised for one destiny—to become a Luna. Groomed into perfection, she believed her future was secure until everything crumbled on her wedding day. In front of her entire pack, her fated mate, Alpha Matteo, uttered the words that shattered her world: he rejected her. Humiliated and heartbroken, Selina is swept into chaos as war erupts between rival packs. Forced to flee, she escapes into the human world, where no one knows her name, her lineage, or the pain she carries. There, she tries to live an ordinary life, far from the chains of duty and expectation. But even as she hides, her heart aches for the family she left behind—and for the Alpha who broke it. Because rejection was never the end. When fate draws Selina and Matteo back into each other’s lives, old wounds resurface, but so does the bond that never truly died. Amidst the threat of war, betrayal, and forbidden longing, they will be forced to face not only their past, but the love that still burns between them. This time, will the Alpha say yes?

Thor and I grew up together—we were the definition of childhood sweethearts. We'd promised to attend the same university, graduate, and marry right after senior year. Everyone envied us. They said we were a perfect match, destined for a lifetime together. And I believed that too. I truly thought I'd spend the rest of my life with him. Until the final semester of our senior year in high school, when a new transfer student named Lina joined our class. At first, the two barely spoke. But as they grew familiar, their bond deepened in ways I could no longer ignore. He started staying after school to tutor her, bringing her breakfast every morning. When she was upset, he'd take her for a drive along the coast. If she craved Italian steak, he'd have fresh cuts flown in. Even during her period, he'd quietly prepare everything she needed. I was furious. I confronted him, argued with him, and even threatened to break up. The first time I said it, he thought I was joking and coaxed me out of my anger. The second time, he dismissed it as another tantrum and tried different ways to please me. The third time, he broke down—standing outside my house in the pouring rain all night, half kneeling before me, begging for forgiveness. Again and again, I tried to leave, and every time, he refused to let me go. Yet with each reconciliation, something in him shifted. He started taking me for granted, assuming I would always come back. His patience wore thin. His apologies turned perfunctory. Even when he came to make peace, there was no sincerity left in his voice. So I said it for the hundredth time, and that was the last. That was the moment I finally gave up on him.
