A Herdeira Abandonada: A Profecia Do Tarô

After ten years together, Aiden, my Alpha, my first and only love, finally promised to hold the mating ceremony with me during the Spring Hunt Festival. I was overjoyed. That night, at the festival party, I downed a few extra glasses of wine. However, Aiden, who had always been so gentle with me, suddenly became someone I didn't recognize. He scolded me, said I was unfit to be the future Luna if I couldn’t even follow the rules, and shoved me out of the car. Drunk and dazed, I was left alone in the dangerous Shadow Forest. Terrified but unwilling to break, I walked through that forest for five hours in the dead of night. When I finally made it back to our home, I heard him in the other room, sending a voice message to Seraphina, his first love. "If you’re willing to come back," he said, his voice soft and warm, "I’ll do anything for you." Seraphina replied, "Even cancel the mating ceremony?" Time stopped. I silently counted to thirteen. Then, I heard his answer: "Yes." Listening to that voice—the one that used to whisper promises to me—I cried. If that was what he truly wanted, then maybe calling off the ceremony was for the best. So, to spare him the choice, I fled. On the day of our mating ceremony, I disappeared. No one expected what came next. The proud, composed Alpha Aiden went mad trying to find me.

A town with a strange past. A group of teenagers with secrets to hide. A world inside a box and a man who should no longer exist. Will they ever find out where they truly belong?

My wife, Lindsey Kelsey, suffers from an aversion to intimacy. For ten years of marriage, she pushed me away again and again. Then, on our anniversary, she abandoned me and, in front of the crowd, kissed another man with reckless passion before the two of them walked hand in hand into a luxury hotel. Afterward, Lindsey brazenly declared that a real man should be magnanimous, not petty. Magnanimous? Then I wish them both eternal bliss—may they be bound so tightly they can never break free from one another. Later, I handed Lindsey the divorce papers with a blank expression. I was determined to walk away from her. But Lindsey went mad when she realized she couldn't find me anymore.

After dating for seven years, I proposed a hundred and one times to my boyfriend, Jason Brown. However, he always told me that he was not ready, rejecting my proposals. This continued to my 28th birthday. In his suit pocket, I found a ring box. Thinking he was about to propose to me, I was overjoyed. However, to my horror, I saw him going down on one knee to propose to his assistant, Marcella Hopkins. Right before my eyes, he placed the ring I had yearned for so long on her finger. When one of his buddies asked what he planned to do with me, Jason wrapped his arm around his new love and chuckled. "Dude, I don't think I can bring myself to marry a woman who wants to get married that badly. She's so needy. However, if I do get a second wife, I might consider her. After all, she is hopelessly in love with me." He was sure I would wait for him, and he even placed a bet with his friends that I would crash his wedding. However, on his wedding day, I never showed up. Moments before his wedding ceremony was about to start, he suddenly noticed me, fully dressed up in a wedding gown in a separate banquet hall. Seeing me about to marry someone else, he almost went crazy.

Years after graduation, someone suddenly tags me in the class group chat. "Mr. Warren is gravely ill, Mira. Aren't you going to do anything? You really are heartless!" I only realize what's going on when I click on the fundraising link in the chat. Our high school homeroom teacher, Joseph Warren, has late-stage cancer. Thus, Lyra Fairfield, the class belle, is leading a fundraiser and patient-donor matching process. "I'll donate ten thousand dollars. My husband is the director of Waverly General Hospital, and I've already asked him to arrange a VIP ward for Mr. Warren." Right after I send that message, the group pounces on me. "Mira, you contracted an STD back then and tried to pin it on Lyra. She didn't even hold it against you, and now you're trying to steal her thunder? You're unbelievable!" "I can't believe you're still lying through your teeth during such a serious situation. You never change, do you?" Lyra immediately defuses the tension. "Mira, I don't blame you for what happened in the past, but you really shouldn't impersonate the director's wife. I've already arranged the ward and surgery, and I'm donating another 100 thousand dollars to Mr. Warren!" I'm this close to laughing out of sheer anger. She's the one who scratched her name off the diagnosis report and framed me for having an STD all those years ago. I never even confronted her about it, and now she's playing the victim? Lyra soon posts a photo in the group chat, showing off her husband's car. Yet, when I see the man in the passenger seat, I guffaw. Isn't that my husband's driver? When did he start running a hospital?

Pela centésima vez, meu companheiro Alfa, Ryker, usou sua autoridade contra mim, ameaçando rejeitar nosso vínculo se eu não me sacrificasse pela minha irmã gêmea, Ivy. Não chorei nem protestei. Apenas assinei os papéis que acabariam com nosso vínculo de companheiros. Me rendi, entreguei o Alfa que amei por dez anos à minha irmã. Alguns dias depois, Ivy causou uma cena no Banquete da Aliança da Alcateia, humilhando a filha do Alfa de Silvermoon. Mais uma vez, dei um passo à frente para tomar o lugar dela, suportando a dor de uma marca de prata desfigurante. Mais tarde, quando exigiram que eu testasse a segurança do Ritual de Regeneração do Espírito do Lobo com o meu próprio corpo para minha irmã, aceitei com um sorriso. Meus pais, Betas da alcateia, com os olhos vermelhos de tanto chorar, disseram que eu finalmente estava sendo a irmã mais velha que deveria ser. Até mesmo Ryker, que sempre foi tão distante comigo, ficou diante da adega. Ele acariciou suavemente minha bochecha pela primeira vez em muito tempo e disse em voz baixa: — Harper, não tenha medo. Assim que o teste terminar, vou te levar para ver as auroras no Lago da Deusa da Lua. Mas ele não sabia que, independentemente do resultado do teste, nunca mais me veria. Meu espírito de lobo já estava se apagando. Nada poderia me salvar. Desta vez, quando eu fechasse os olhos, seria para sempre.

Na cerimônia em que meu noivo, Mattew, seria coroado Alfa da alcateia Riverdale, ele rejeitou publicamente nosso vínculo de companheiros. Ele escolheu Claire, que já estava grávida do seu filho. — Claire e a família dela podem me ajudar a garantir meu título de Alfa — ele disse, sem o menor sinal de vergonha. — E eu preciso que ela me dê um herdeiro. E eu? — Apenas espere um ano. O título de Luna ainda será seu. Todos acharam que eu simplesmente aceitaria. Afinal, eu tinha sido desesperadamente devotada a ele por sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, eu fui embora para encontrar meu companheiro destinado da Segunda Chance. Três anos depois, voltei à alcateia Riverdale, acompanhando meu companheiro — o Rei Alfa — em sua viagem pelos territórios. Ele teve alguns assuntos de última hora para resolver e enviou outra pessoa para me buscar. Mas, no aeroporto, eu encontrei Mattew. Ele olhou para mim com pena. — Já terminou seu pequeno chilique? O filho da Claire precisa de uma babá. Você pode voltar e cuidar dele.

Five years into marriage, Silvia Serra becomes both Dante Valenti's most lethal weapon and his most invisible presence. She shields him from bullets. She crosses a freezing river for him. Her scars accumulate, and his response is an assumption that it is how things are meant to be. In time, Dante grows repulsed by the violence clinging to her. He derides her lack of charm and gives his warmth to another woman instead. He allows others to grind down her dignity, and with a new lover in his arms, he openly stains her name. Silvia tolerates it so she can continue guarding him. Everyone mocks her as if she's numb to it all, driven away again and again, but never truly gone. Then comes the night of pounding rain. Cast aside without ceremony, Silvia erases every sign she was ever there and leaves with finality. Dante treats it as nothing more than sulking, convinced she will return within three days. Later, the once-untouchable Don was seen on his knees at Silvia's feet, stripped of all pride, begging her to turn back and look at him just once.
