Karma Goddess

J'ai patienté trois heures à la fête d'anniversaire de mon petit ami, Roméo Bossuet. Celui qui devait être le héros du jour dans son costume élégant a été appelé à l'hôpital par son premier amour, Gisèle Favre. Prétextant une entorse à la cheville pour susciter la sympathie, cette femme a même filmé une vidéo d'un baiser avec Roméo. Pris par l'émotion, Roméo, soi-disant invalide des jambes, s'est levé pour la plaquer contre la porte. « Roméo, pourquoi tu dis pas à Nina que tes jambes sont guéries ? » La voix de Roméo était pâteuse : « Si elle l'apprenait, elle insisterait pour que je l'épouse. Mais qu'est-elle pour moi ? Juste une bonne gratuite ! Elle est pas digne de devenir ma femme. » Ils s'embrassaient passionnément. Gisèle, vêtue d'une robe de mariée que j'avais conçue de mes propres mains, regardait la caméra avec provocation. La vidéo s'est arrêtée sur le son de leurs baisers fougueux. À ce moment-là, j'ai compris que Roméo m'avait toujours menti… J'ai jeté le gâteau que j'avais préparé pour lui à la poubelle, puis ai pris mon téléphone pour envoyer un message à ma mère : « Maman, j'irai au rendez-vous arrangé, je te promets. »

I suffer from extreme mental illness. My sister, Ava Monroe, became a facial model to earn money for my expensive medical treatment. She was 5’3” tall but was noticed because of her beauty by a wealthy young man by the name of Dominic Pierce with a leg obsession. He imprisoned her. “This is the most beautiful face I’ve ever seen. If only your legs were a bit longer, I’d die with a smile.” Ava was forced to have leg-lengthening surgery. After the operation, her legs began to rot. Dominic found her disgusting and locked her in the basement. He tortured her until she died. I got kicked out of the mental health institute because I could not pay the medical fees. I found Dominic surrounded by beautiful women with long legs. “Those are the prettiest legs I’ve ever seen. If only your face were a little cuter, I’d die with a smile!” I pointed to the painting of Ava and scoffed, “What if I become her?”

Aku mengalami kram menstruasi dan memesan obat pereda nyeri. Di aplikasi, pengantarnya tertulis seorang pengendara wanita, tapi yang datang ternyata seorang pria mabuk. Kali ini, aku tidak menelepon dua kakakku untuk meminta bantuan. Langsung saja aku melapor ke polisi. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, kedua kakakku bukan hanya memanggil semua pengawal pribadi yang ada, tetapi mereka sendiri juga buru-buru kembali. Akibatnya, mereka melewatkan drama panggung yang dimainkan oleh adik angkat mereka. Adik angkat mereka begitu sedih hingga dia menusukkan tombak mainan ke dirinya sendiri di atas panggung dan membuat dirinya terluka parah. Kedua kakakku mencoba menghiburku, "Jangan merasa bersalah. Setidaknya kamu tetap selamat." Namun, di balik itu, mereka mengikatku dan menyerahkanku kepada sekelompok pria mabuk. "Cuma pria mabuk, 'kan? Kamu bisa mengusirnya sendiri. Kenapa harus manggil kami? Sekarang lihat akibatnya. Kalau Hilda meninggal, kamu juga jangan berharap bisa hidup!" Ketika aku membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari di mana pria mabuk itu mengetuk pintuku. Kali ini, aku tidak menelepon mereka. Mereka akhirnya bisa menyaksikan drama panggung adik angkat mereka, memberi dukungan dan semangat. Namun, setelah drama itu selesai, mereka malah menyesal.

Ketika suamiku datang ke tempat pemulihan pasca persalinan untuk menemaniku, terapis pasca persalinan yang selalu tidak banyak bicara tiba-tiba menjadi antusias dan bersemangat. Awalnya, dia memuji suamiku yang tinggi dan tampan. Dia masih muda, tetapi sudah menjadi manajer umum perusahaan. Kemudian, dia berasumsi bahwa aku bisa menikah dengan orang kaya dengan mengandalkan operasi plastik yang aku lakukan. Ketika dia melakukan pijat laktasi kepadaku, dia juga menasihatiku bahwa aku tidak bisa memberikan asi kepada anakku karena aku menggunakan implan di payudara, karena itu tidak baik untuk bayi. Aku terlalu malas untuk meladeninya, jadi berdiskusi dengan suamiku tentang nama anak kami nanti. Suamiku mengatakan bahwa ini adalah anak pertama kami, jadi dia harus memikirkannya dengan baik. Namun, terapis pasca persalinan berseru, "Ah, Kak, bukankah sebelum ini kamu sudah pernah melahirkan?"

Alpha Connor went to the human village to meet up with other pack Alphas to form an alliance against the rogue and lycan attacks. They met at a bar that reeks of alcohol where no one can track their scent. At the middle of their talk, Alpha Connor's attention was caught by a disturbing sight. There he saw a woman with white hair and a calming scent of a delicate peony. Her face shows discomfort as she was getting picked up by a group of drunk guys. He knew then that he has to do something. He knew then that she wasn’t just a nobody to him. She was his mate. He couldn’t track a female wolf in that woman. But what could a human mate do for a pack in danger? Little did he know that she wasn’t just a normal human. She is the daughter of the moon goddess.

One of the Daimons wanted to erase Cullen in eternity forever. But why? Will history repeat itself? Will Cullen win against the plot of the minor gods? Brace yourself as you read the Grim Reaper's diary! The untold stories of darkness, you have never heard before.

I'm accidentally pushed off a cliff when my fiancé and I are enjoying the sunset. I end up with grave injuries. As I drift in and out of consciousness, I hear Eric Bartholomew speaking to a doctor. "Gamma Derrina's injuries aren't that severe, Alpha. She can be treated even without her womb being removed!" "Shut up! Do it because I say it needs to be done. Don't forget that I'm the Alpha here—all you need to do is obey me! Only if Derrina loses her womb can my and Phyllis' pup to become the wolf pack's heir. "Use copious amounts of sedatives on her. I don't want her to wake up on the wedding day. She'll be sad if she sees that the bride isn't her." I open my eyes and look at Eric standing outside the room. He's like a monster with hands that can end lives. I'll make his wish come true since he wants to marry that weak Omega. I make a call. "I agree with the thing you asked me about before." The person on the other end of the line laughs. "The Moon Goddess loves the wise."

My name is Addison Calder. During my first heat as an adult werewolf, Morgan Flint suddenly announces that he wants to end things. I can't stop crying—not from a broken heart but because the torment of my mating cycle is consuming me from within. Gripping his sleeve tightly, I lean closer, attempting to kiss away the tension. Impatient, Morgan shoves me toward his older brother, Tucker Flint. "Hey, Tucker. Addie's drunk and losing it. Can you help calm her down?" As Tucker steps forward, Morgan leans in and whispers, "Keep an eye on her. Don't let any other men get close. I'm only breaking up with her for now. Once I'm done fooling around, I'll get back together with her." Tucker nods and gently lifts me into the car. "It hurts, doesn't it?" he says softly. Overwhelmed by the pain, I clutch his tie with tears streaming down my face. "Please… Help me," I plead. Tucker's pupils contract, his voice low and hoarse. "And how exactly do you want me to help you?" In a flash, I lean in and press my lips to his. "Kiss me… or let me kiss you." Our passionate kiss melts away much of the tension gnawing at me. Noticing Tucker's reddened ears, I grab his tie once more. "Will you take me home?"

On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher. [What romantic is not the starry night, it is having you by my side.] In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist. The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post: [I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!] Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji. I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls. "Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long ago! Why are you being so petty?" Looking at how Theodore gently held her in his arms, comforting her, I realized something. Letting go of someone you’ve loved for seven years... can take only a moment.
