the swedish art of aging exuberantly

"What do you want? What do you wish for?" "My wish is that you fall in love with me again." Taylor Wright's only wish was for the man she loves to treat her with love and respect, and a love that the world would envy, and that was why for years, she kept her feelings for Bryan Anderson a secret. Fortunately, the opportunity came, and an arranged marriage happened between them. Sadly, that was just the beginning of her suffering. 2 years later, Bryan got what he wanted and handed a divorce paper to her. He said, "You and I know how this marriage started. It's time for you to leave." One thing Taylor was taught by her mom was never to beg a man's love. With the remaining pieces of her heart shattered, she signs the divorce papers and walks out of his life without realizing she was pregnant. This was just the beginning. 3 years later, an unforeseen circumstance brings Taylor back to where it all started and the first person she encounters is her ex husband. "I want you back, Taylor." "Mr Bryan Anderson," There was a smirk on her face. "This was me a long time ago, but not anymore. Now, all I want is to see you suffer and beg for my love just like I did in the past." Now, the ball is in her court and it's time to play with the heart of the man she was once madly in love with. How does it really end when she's being betrayed for a second time?

Adriane was living a life she thought was normal, that was up until her sixteenth birthday. This was when she first turned. She had absolutely no knowledge of what was happening and no prior warning about what she was about to go through. It was excruciatingly painful, the single most horrible experience in her life. But what did the most damage was the look of sheer horror on her parents' faces at the mere sight of her. Even her little sister had the mind to call her a monster confirming Adriane's worst fears. She'd turned into the very thing that plagued her nightmares. That's when she lost it, that's when she broke out and ran. She didn't stop running until she plummeted into a world she never knew existed, a world she is now a part of.

The crowd starts a countdown to midnight like New Year’s Eve. I close my eyes and smile, holding Liam’s hand tightly. Everyone yells “ONE!” and cheers. I open my eyes and see the iridescent liquid light of the full moon pouring out of the giant orb flowing down over us. People around us ooh and ahh at the beautiful sight.  When the first rays of moonlight cascade over my skin, I feel a heat inside me turn into a burning fire. I gasp and look up at Liam. He looks at me with wide, surprised eyes. “Mate,” he murmurs and squeezes my hand tighter. It isn’t a comforting feeling. There are no sparks like people describe when they touch their mate. Maybe it takes a few minutes to develop. I smile and try to admire Liam, but I don't want to say it back. Nothing feels different. I still love him, but he’s not the one. Liam is looking at me, but it isn’t a look of true love. It’s lustful and carnal. I feel a pit in my stomach. Liam isn’t my mate. How can this be? And how was he able to call me his mate if he’s not mine? “Zara,” a woman’s voice says in my head, “My name is Lavender. I’m your wolf and you’re in grave danger, my dear. You need to run. You need to run now. Your life depends on it.” “My… wolf?” With everything that happened the past couple of hours, I forgot she was waking up. “L-Lavender, what’s happening? What do you know?” Lavender repeats her order. “Zara, you need to run. I can explain later. I’m so sorry this is happening to you, sweet girl.”

This book is authored by BestofNollywood. "I, Torey Black, Alpha of the Black Moon reject you." His rejection hit me instantly. I couldn't breathe, unable to catch my breath as my chest heaved up and down, my stomach churning, unable to hold myself together as I watched his car speed down the driveway and away from me. I couldn't even comfort my wolf, she immediately retreated to the back of my mind, prohibiting me from speaking to her. I felt my lips wobble, my face scrunching up as I attempted to hold myself together but failing miserably. Weeks had passed since I last saw Torey my heart seeming to break a little bit more as the days went by. But lately, I found that I was pregnant. Werewolves pregnancies were much shorter than a human's. With Torey being an Alpha, it cut the time down to four months, whereas a Beta would be five, Third in Command would be six and a regular wolf would be between seven and eight. As suggested, I headed to bed, my mind full of questions and wonders. Tomorrow was going to be intense, there were a lot of decisions to be made.

And perhaps more importantly, will she even have a choice? *** “You want to breed me?” He winces at the term, but nods.“Yes.
