"Take off your clothes," he ordered in his cool, baritone voice.My robe slid off my shoulders and I stood in front of him naked and ashamed.But when his wet lips worked their way down my neck, I found myself trembling in fear and desire.***I was 20 years old, a maid.I was given to the bloodthirsty Alpha, the cold and cruel demon that all had feared.Knowing my love for him was hopeless, I made a contract with him: he would take down my enemy in exchange for my life.On the day I got my revenge, I was ready to die, until I found out...***“Amber, do NOT run away from me again," he commanded as he took a step forward."Don't come any closer," I held a dagger up to my throat with one hand, and covered my abdomen with the other, my voice calm. “Or you will never meet your child.”Hybrid Alpha's Contract Bride is created by Reina Bellevue, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

En nuestro tercer aniversario, descubrí con horror que mi pareja, Ethan Rivers, había estado pasando las noches con su amor de la infancia, y que incluso el certificado de unión que me había dado era falso. Cuando lo encaré, Ethan me acusó con una frialdad brutal de ser una malagradecida. —Hice la ceremonia de unión con Bella para ayudarla con la presión de su familia. ¿Por qué tienes que ser tan egoísta? No es que no te quiera. Solo es un papel, ¿por qué haces tanto escándalo? Tenía planeado hacer la ceremonia de verdad contigo este año, pero nunca me imaginé que fueras tan ambiciosa. Me decepcionas mucho, Aria. Corté toda comunicación con él y, sin perder tiempo, se llevó a Bella de luna de miel. *** Cinco años después, nos volvimos a encontrar en una reunión exclusiva de manadas. Su manada prosperaba y, a su lado, estaba Bella Rose, cubierta de joyas y con una sonrisa impecable. Al verme agachada en el suelo, buscando entre los restos de pastel en la basura, chasqueó la lengua con impaciencia. —Mira nada más en lo que te convertiste por dejarme. Antes despreciabas el certificado falso, ¡y ahora ni regalada te querría nadie! Por los viejos tiempos, si te arrodillas y le pides perdón a Bella, a lo mejor te dejo volver como nuestra sirvienta. No estaba para lidiar con él. Mi hijo, como parte de una travesura, había escondido mi anillo de unión de 80 millones de dólares en un trozo de pastel, y necesitaba encontrarlo rápido. De lo contrario, cuando llegara su papá, el pequeño volvería a meterse en problemas.

La séptima vez que Sofía quedó con Leonardo para ir a firmar el acta de matrimonio, él volvió a dejarla plantada. Cuando ya iba a marcarle para preguntarle dónde estaba, se topó por casualidad con un TikTok de la amiga de la infancia de él. "Hoy celebramos 999 días de casados con mi amado esposo, desde el pasado hasta el futuro, siempre serás tú." En la foto, justo en el centro del librito rojo del matrimonio, aparecía bien claro el nombre de Leonardo Díaz en la parte de esposo. Y la fecha de matrimonio era el 20 de mayo de hace tres años. Así que esta era la verdadera razón por la que él nunca apareció en esas siete citas para casarse. Él ya era el esposo de otra.
