Ordinary Grace

In the near-future, Earth is ravaged by nuclear detonations and out-of-control wildfires, society crumbles into a lawless wasteland. The cataclysm, known as The Burning, leaves most of the Earth scorched, the air thick with ash, and the remnants of civilization scattered and broken. This post-apocalyptic landscape is where Maya Greene, a 32-year-old former ER nurse, must navigate not only the physical dangers of survival but also the emotional wreckage of her past.

I exterminated my mate bond with Alex, when he was exiled from our pack 6 years ago. He left with a broken heart. When he returned, he challenged the former Alpha King of the pack. I still remembered how he tore the Alpha King apart with his claws and how he looked at me. After he earned himself the title of Alpha King, he asked me to be his Luna Queen. Everyone in the pack thought this was a dream come true for both of us. Only I knew that to him, I was only his lost obsession. He brought different she-wolves back to our mansion. Their laughter and scream echoed from the guest room. He made me the joke of our pack. But I never once confronted him. That night, when Alex kissed me roughly and grabbed my chin, he asked “Aren’t you even a little jealous?” He had no idea. Every single day he thought he was taking revenge on me, I was just counting down how many days I had left. For I had already been poisoned by the lethal wolf venom.

Después de la muerte de Harper, mi hermana gemela, mi compañero Alfa me odió durante diez años. Por una década entera fui su Luna e intenté de todas las formas posibles complacerlo. Un día, me dijo: —Si tantas ganas tienes de darme gusto, entonces muérete. Así que, cuando vi que un camión se dirigía hacia mí, ni siquiera me moví; sin embargo, nunca esperé que Noah me empujara para salvarme. Quedó herido de gravedad. Antes de morir, me miró y susurró: —Charlotte, si nunca te hubiera conocido, todo habría sido mejor. Al funeral de Noah asistieron todos los sabios y los miembros de la manada. —Debí dejar que Noah eligiera a Harper como su Luna. Me arrepiento de haberlo obligado a escogerte en ese entonces. ¡Tú lo mataste! La madre de Noah estaba deshecha por el dolor. El padre de Noah también habló: —¿Sabes? ¡Noah te salvó la vida tres veces! Era un Alfa de tan buen corazón... ¿Por qué no te moriste tú en su lugar? Todos en el funeral me miraban con reproche. Me echaron de la ceremonia; me quedé ahí, perdida y destrozada. Tres años después, con la ayuda de una bruja y su hechizo, regresé al pasado. Esta vez, tomé una decisión diferente. Pase lo que pase, nunca volveré a ser la Luna de Noah.

Liam and I have been together for five years. We were supposed to become mates in a month. I have been planning our honeymoon because in these five years, we have never left this city. So I prepared a $100,000 trip in advance as a mating gift for Liam. When I mentioned it to him, before I even finished my words, he interrupted me impatiently, “Who asked you to plan it? For our honeymoon, I will only give you a budget of $50. We’ll just go somewhere nearby for a night.” That night, I found out he had transferred his $1 million hunting competition bonus to his childhood friend Stella, letting her use it to buy an apartment of her own. He got really mad at me, when he saw the receipt for the $100,000 I had prepaid for the honeymoon. “Who gave you the right to spend our future money on a trip?” Liam’s parents also yelled at me, “You are just a useless Omega! You can’t even shift into a werewolf form, unlike Stella, you are not good enough for our son.” But every single cent was earned by myself from my herb business. I broke up with him without any hesitation. Liam stole that trip from me and went on it with Stella instead. Seven years later, we ran into each other at the Alpha’s castle. Liam was about to become a Warrior of the pack. Meanwhile, I was on my knees, searching for something on the floor. “Mia, you broke up with me over a $50 honeymoon fund back then. Now, you are working as a maid? You’re in this mess because of your own choices.” In fact, I was looking for my pup’s favorite toy. It had rolled under one of the tables earlier. “Is that so? Don’t you even know who the Luna of this castle is?”

I was shattered to learn that my precious child was not mine. My own flesh and blood was gone forever. I was not going to crumble under the weight of the revelation or consume myself with hysteria or grief. Instead, I channeled my pain into putting my mother-in-law behind bars and breaking my husband before moving on with my life.

As we kissed, it was like a rush of emotions. Relief, joy, and the happiness of being close again filled me up. Every kiss felt like a fresh start, wiping away the silence and bringing us back together. Then I realized that I was truly his desire. The world around us disappeared as if no one mattered. I could feel the heat of his hands through my shirt, his fingers caressing my skin and sending shivers down my spine. His lips moved down to my neck, leaving a trail of kisses. ************************** Harper was rudely bumped into by an arrogant jerk at the gym, not wanting to own up to his fault, he ordered her out of the gym. Imagine her shock when she finds out that he was no other but Joshua Stevenson, her new boss at the office and they had been arranged to marry. Will she bow to pressure or give Josh a run for his money?

Meu marido, o chefe da máfia, perdeu seu primeiro amor para o suicídio. Celeste Reyes não conseguiu aceitar que ele estava se casando comigo. Desde então, Darius Sterling vive o luto por ela publicamente todos os dias, e nós nos tornamos o tipo de casal que se despreza mais do que qualquer outra pessoa. No entanto, quando a família Moretti de Eastbourne envia assassinos atrás de mim, Darius recebe a bala que era para ser minha. A bala estava envenenada. Enquanto ele jaz, fraco em meus braços, ele sussurra: — Eu salvei sua vida. Minha dívida com sua mãe está paga. Em nossa próxima vida, não vamos nos encontrar novamente. — Não quero mais te odiar. Só espero que você seja sempre aquela garota da casa ao lado. Agora, é hora de eu ficar com Celeste. E, simples assim, ele morre em meus braços. Eu choro do fundo da minha alma, mas Darius nunca mais olha para mim. Só então percebo quão tolo e infantil foi o nosso ódio durante todos esses anos. Mais tarde, após eliminar os Moretti, eu tiro minha própria vida por ele. Contudo, quando abro os olhos novamente, estou de volta aos 20 anos, o ano do nosso noivado. Eu rejeito o plano do meu pai para um casamento arranjado e escolho ir para New Verden gerenciar os negócios da família. Desta vez, ficarei longe de Darius e darei a ele e à Celeste as minhas bênçãos.

My husband—the mafia boss—loses his first love to suicide. Celeste Reyes couldn't accept that he was marrying me. Since then, Darius Sterling mourns her publicly every day, and we become the kind of couple that despises each other more than anyone else. However, when the Moretti family of Eastbourne sends assassins after me, Darius takes the bullet meant for me. The bullet is poisoned. As he lies weakly in my arms, he whispers, "I saved your life. My debt to your mother is repaid. In our next life, let's not meet again. "I don't want to hate you anymore. I just hope you'll always be the girl next door. Now, it's time for me to be with Celeste." And just like that, he dies in my arms. I cry my heart out, but Darius never looks at me again. Only then do I realize how foolish and childish our hatred has been all these years. Later, after I eliminate the Morettis, I take my own life for him. Yet, when I open my eyes again, I'm back at 20—the year of our engagement. I reject my father's plan for an arranged marriage and choose to go to New Verden to manage the family business. This time, I'll stay far away from Darius and give him and Celeste my blessings.
