A Princesa Esquecida E Seus Companheiros Beta

No dia em que fomos registrar o casamento, meu namorado Eder Leite mandou que me expulsassem do cartório civil e entrou de mãos dadas com sua amiga de infância. Ele olhou para mim com indiferença: — O filho da Rosana precisa ser registrado. Depois que nos divorciarmos, eu me casarei com você. Todos achavam que eu, tão apaixonada, aceitaria esperar por ele mais um mês sem reclamar. Afinal, eu já o esperava há sete anos. Mas naquela mesma noite, aceitei o arranjo da família e fui para o exterior em um casamento combinado. Desapareci do mundo dele. Três anos depois, voltei ao Brasil acompanhando meu marido para visitar a família. Por causa de um compromisso de última hora, meu marido pediu que a filial brasileira da empresa enviasse alguém para me buscar. Jamais imaginei que reencontraria Eder, desaparecido da minha vida há três anos. — Já chega dessa birra, está na hora de voltar... O filho da Rosana vai começar a frequentar o jardim de infância, e você ficará responsável por buscá-lo e levá-lo.

“I cannot accept your bond,” she said, crushing me. “Why not?” I asked, trying to mask the desperation in my voice. “They will kill you, and I cannot live with that,” she replied with finality. Beta wolf Cole hunts for his second-chance mate. Jessica, a promised she-wolf, is trapped by abuse and others’ greed. Time is running out—can he save her, or are their fates already sealed? This story can be read as a stand alone or read after The Lycan's Powerful Omega.

Beta Max and I were at the Civil Affairs Bureau, ready to register our marriage. We were just waiting to take the final photo when he got a phone call and left. He abandoned me right there at the marriage registration office, leaving me stuck in an impossible situation. I called him—no answer. I messaged him—no reply. In the end, I had no choice but to call his childhood sweetheart’s number. Beta Max answered. “Louis, can you stop being so annoying? Grace twisted her ankle—I need to take care of her today. Stop calling and waking her up. We’ll reschedule the registration.” I bit my lip and murmured into the phone, “This makes it the seventh time we’ve rescheduled.” “So what? The Civil Affairs Bureau isn’t going anywhere—it’s not like it’s going to disappear!” My face was blank, but it felt like my heart was being carved open. A staff member looked at me with pity and asked, “Alpha Louis, are we still doing this?” I gave a small nod. “Yes. Let’s go through with it.”

Wolves are dangerous creatures. They hunt and kill for sport. It’s what my mother has always told me. But when she goes and gets pregnant, for one, she leaves me with a little girl whom I have come to love more than my life. I will do anything to protect her. Even marrying an alpha who is marrying to keep his position. Our marriage was meant to deceive his brother and keep his position while I get my sister’s disease treated. The kisses, hugs, and touches were all meant to deceive, but what about the love we make when people are not watching? Is that fake? No, that’s real. It’s real until his mate comes, and my world comes crumbling down right before my eyes. Will I stay or fight? I mean, I’m used to running.

"You really should run away from me, Aunty," he kissed her cheek- so soft, he melted. "But I'll find you. No matter where you go, even death can't hide you from me," he mumbled one of his most sacred vows into her cheek. His words resonated deep in her consciousness. If he said that to her ears everyday, she would wake up one day feeling like she belonged to him. Squeezing her hands, she cursed the obvious blush on her face and cursed herself too for being sick in the head. How could something so scary make her heart beat so fast? *** Anastasia Robie has been accused of killing her Alpha. Put behind bars by her Pack, she faces trial at the hands of the new Alpha who turns out to be her mate. One rejection later after nights of passionate sex and his wife is asking for her head. She manages to escape only to be chased by the top assassins in the world. As fate would have it, Leroy Adams has found his mate and no hands must touch her. He must have her to himself but first, give her the revenge she seeks. Her immunity is assured when he's the Boss of the same association sent to kill her. A dangerous game of hide and seek, a broken beta scarred to love again and a sweet Lycan who would stop the world for his mate. What could possibly go wrong? or who... would dare touch his pride and Joy?

No sexto ano de casamento, meu marido não me tocava há três meses. Ele dizia que estava muito ocupado e cansado com o trabalho. Amando-o por tantos anos, acreditei sem hesitar. Mas no meu aniversário, ouvi o amigo do meu marido perguntar a ele em alemão: — Você já terminou com a outra lá fora? Ia lá todo dia, nem sei como seu corpo aguenta. — Sua esposa não se importa com isso? Meu marido soltou uma baforada de fumaça, com uma expressão indiferente. — Faz meses que não a toco. Gabriela Nunes é muito boa na cama, ainda não me cansei, que pena que ela engravidou. — Minha esposa não gosta de crianças, então dei a Gabriela uma quantia em dinheiro para ela ir para o exterior ter o filho em breve. Apertei os punhos. Lágrimas caíram em silêncio. Meu marido perguntou, preocupado, o que havia acontecido. Balancei a cabeça. — O bolo que você fez é delicioso, estou tão emocionada. O bolo era doce, mas para mim, que entendia alemão, o coração estava amargo.

The next day, I woke to the sound of an angry voice filling the room. My heart sank as I struggled awake. With my sleepy eyes, I see him pacing the room, muttering under his breath. He was all dressed up and by the look of his expression, he wasn’t in a calm state. “You’ve got to be kidding me,” he growled, slamming something against the wall. I sat up, panicked. “What’s wrong?” I questioned but he said no words to me. Walking towards him, just as I was about to touch him, he turned to me, his eyes blazing with fury. “You used me,” he spat. “What?” He pointed to my neck, where the faint scare of the mating mark of I and Sabastiam still showed. “You have a mate. You’re married, and you didn’t think to mention that before dragging me into this?” What? “Do you have any idea what you’ve done? I don’t get involved with mated wolves.” “I’ll pay you,” I blurted out, “Whatever you want… mention any amount.” I grabbed my purse and brought out my black card, stretching my hands towards him. “Here. Take this.” I said. “You think this is about money?” “Stop being dramatic. Have this card. Just forget about everything. This card will go a long way.” “Here.” I added. Coldly, he stepped closer, glaring directly at my eyes as shivers ran down my spine. He took another step forward and I took another backwards, his eyes still locked in mine. It happened twice. Reaching an inch from me, his cold husky voice broke the silence. “This isn’t about money.” With that, he stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind him.

He knows she is forbidden to him, but when she goes into her first heat, the scent of her awakens something dark and primal within him. Tobias fights it. He tries to stay away. But his wolf is relentless, whispering one undeniable truth: She is mine. Lily has always admired Tobias, the brooding, disciplined warrior who guards her brother’s side. But when her heat takes hold, she sees the hunger in his eyes. She feels the pull between them. And she wants to surrender. One night. One forbidden taste. And Tobias is lost. But when the Alpha discovers their betrayal, Tobias is forced to make an impossible choice, fight for the love that could tear the pack apart, or abandon his mate to save himself.

Raíssa Freitas estava à beira de um colapso. O homem com quem ela havia passado a noite era seu professor universitário e, o mais desesperador de tudo, era que ela estava grávida. Tremendo, ela colocou o exame de gravidez à sua frente, e Alexandre Teixeira lhe deu duas opções: abortar ou se casar. Assim, Raíssa acabou se casando com seu professor universitário, sem mais nem menos. Após o casamento, eles passaram a dormir em quartos separados. Certa noite, o professor Alexandre apareceu à porta do quarto dela com um travesseiro. — O aquecedor do meu quarto quebrou, vou dormir no seu quarto esta noite. Raíssa, confusa, abriu a porta. Na noite seguinte, o professor Alexandre apareceu novamente. — O aquecedor ainda não foi consertado, vou dormir aqui mais uma noite. No final, o professor Alexandre acabou ficando no quarto dela. Ele dizia que estava economizando na conta de aquecimento para cuidar do filho. ... A Escola de Medicina da Ilha do Sol era uma das melhores do país, e o professor Alexandre era amplamente conhecido nela, sendo o mais jovem professor da faculdade de medicina. Ele sempre usava uma aliança de casamento no dedo anular, mas nunca era visto com nenhuma mulher. Mais tarde, um estudante, incapaz de conter a curiosidade, perguntou durante a aula: — Professor Alexandre, ouço dizer que o senhor já é casado. Quando vai apresentar sua esposa para a gente? Para surpresa de todos, o professor Alexandre apontou: — Raíssa. Uma médica profissional se levantou reflexamente do grupo de alunos e disse: — Presente. Sob o olhar de todos os estudantes, o professor Alexandre sorriu gentilmente: — Quero apresentar a todos. Esta é minha esposa Raíssa. Ela é uma excelente cirurgiã cardíaca.

Após o acidente de carro, resolvi fingir amnésia para pregar uma peça em meu marido e meu filho. — Quem são vocês? O olhar do meu filho brilhou com uma faísca de travessura enquanto ele puxava a mulher que estava do lado de fora do quarto para dentro. Ele me disse: — Tia, eu e meus pais estamos aqui para visitar. Ao lado, meu marido permaneceu em silêncio, permitindo que nosso filho me chamasse assim.
