Alphabet Lore Y Screaming

Mi pareja en línea resultó ser… mi jefe. Pero claro, él no tiene ni idea de que la persona del otro lado del chat soy yo. Y lo peor es que, una y otra vez, insiste en que quiere conocernos en persona. ¡Madre mía! Si eso ocurriera, terminaría en un estado fatal al día siguiente. Así que, sin dudarlo, lo dejé. Después de eso, se puso de un humor terrible, y toda la empresa tuvo que pagar las consecuencias con horas extras. Y pues… ¿cómo decirlo? Por mi salud mental y física, volver con él… tampoco suena tan mal.

Era la asesina más hábil de Don Alexander y su Consigliere, pero también su esposa secreta. Durante los cinco años que duró nuestro matrimonio oculto, él nunca permitió que nuestro hijo lo llamara papá. Siempre decía que las familias enemigas nos vigilaban todo el tiempo y que mi hijo y yo éramos su única debilidad; juraba que lo hacía para protegernos. Yo le creí y lo ayudé en silencio a manejar todos los asuntos de la familia, hasta que su primer amor, Bella, regresó con un niño de cinco años. Él reservó todo un parque de diversiones para que ellos se divirtieran todo el día. Ese día era el cumpleaños de mi hijo, y él se empeñó en esperar a que su padre volviera a casa, mientras sostenía un pastel que ya se estaba derritiendo. Perdí la esperanza e hice una llamada: —Ayúdame a cancelar mi identidad y la de Leo; borra toda nuestra información. Pero cuando mi hijo y yo nos esfumamos, el poderoso Don se volvió loco y buscó por todo el mundo algún rastro nuestro...

Nelson se tragó por accidente una nueva droga afrodisíaca y su situación era crítica. Como su médico de cabecera, no tuve más opción que convertirme en su salvavidas. Como soy naturalmente fértil, me quedé embarazada con esa vez. Me casé con él y tuvimos unos gemelos, un niño y una niña, sumamente inteligentes y traviesos. Pero, después de casarnos, Nelson no quería que los niños lo llamaran «papá» y pasaba todo el día abrazando una foto de su alma gemela, borracho. Al cumplir diez años de matrimonio, él prendió fuego la casa y nos mató a los niños y a mí en el sótano. Resulta que, durante todo ese tiempo, Nelson guardaba rencor por lo que había hecho al salvarlo. Él pensaba que lo había hecho solo para acercarme a los poderosos, que había sido esa intervención la que había roto su relación con su amor, y que eso había causado que ella perdiera la cabeza y muriera en un accidente. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me di cuenta de que había regresado al día en que Nelson se tragó la droga. Esta vez, decidí darle la oportunidad de salvar a su amor platónico, mientras yo me dirigía al estudio...

“I'm going to make you forget every reason why this is wrong. By the time I'm done with you, the only thing you'll remember is my name on your lips.” “This is insane… we shouldn't…” “Shouldn't what? Touch you like this? Make you come apart in my hands? Your body has already decided, sweetheart. It's screaming yes even when your mouth says no.” Raina thought inheriting a mansion would solve her problems. She was wrong. Instead, it came with two problems: a mansion full of secrets and two men who wanted to own every part of her. The first one is pure temptation. Lucien knew exactly how to make her beg, fucking her rough and desperately. The second one, Darius, wanted to ruin her in the most delicious ways. He didn't just want her body, he wanted to possess her soul, to make her his in ways that should have terrified her but only made her burn hotter. Lucien was her step-brother and Darius was her stepfather and professor, both off limits. Both made her wolf howl with lust. When the past came hunting with claws and bullets, Raina discovered she wasn't just fighting for the inheritance but also got her life. But some men will burn the world down to keep what's theirs, and she was about to find out just his far two obsessed wolves would go to make her theirs forever. Some inheritances come with a price. This one might cost her everything. Yet, this wolf doesn't share… does she?

“I told you,” he whispered against her mouth as his leg wedged between her legs. “The only thing you’re going to feel is me fucking you to the mattress until you’re screaming out my name. I’ll make you want it so bad that you’ll be begging me for it all the time.” Raina swallowed hard at his words and what they did to her. She was so wet and ready for him that it was embarrassing. “Now get your ass into my office. We need to discuss you taking some time off so your body can prep for the procedure unless you just want to bypass it and just let me breed you until you’re pregnant with my child. Either option requires you to take time off. Choice is yours.” *** Raina Winters, Alpha Kian Tara’s chosen female Beta, has been carrying a secret for years from her Alpha believing she would never ever be accepted by her Alpha as a desirable mate and suitable Luna. For years, she has watched her fated mate love another while she suffered in silence dangerously close to death until her Alpha and his childhood sweetheart break up, because he wants to find his fated mate. Even after their break up, she still keeps her secret. Too afraid to believe he’d ever see her beyond his Beta, she keeps silent. When the Elder Council puts pressure on Alpha Kian to produce a heir and to ultimately select his Luna, her Alpha and her twin sister offer a medical solution, to find a surrogate. The most eligible choice is Raina!

What does the underboss of an infamous crime family have in common with a spirited primary school teacher? Absolutely nothing, except a marriage of convenience, of course. When Lionel Tyson defaults on a gambling debt and offers his most prized possession as collateral, Austin Hawthorne is underwhelmed. But in desperate need of a housekeeper and permanent child minder, he knows he’d be an idiot to look a gift horse in the mouth. So, against his better judgement, he accepts an offer he should absolutely refuse. Marybeth Tyson is horrified to learn that not only is her father wanted by loan sharks, but he has also sold her off to a mafia boss. Bound by duty and pushed by guilt, she agrees to give Austin Hawthorne one year of her life, despite common sense screaming at her to run the other way. After all, how hard can pretending to be madly in love with someone be? It’s all fun and games until play pretend becomes all too real, and an earth-shattering secret from Austin’s past comes to light, threatening to destroy his second chance at love with his dogged pursuit for answers. Betrayal, especially at the hands of his older brother Blake and long-time friend, Andrei Ivanov, is a bitter pill to swallow for Austin, and letting them off scot-free is not an option. Driven by his unquenchable thirst for revenge, Austin will stop at nothing to get to the truth, even if it means destroying decade-old friendships and fragile ties to The Corporation. 2022 Val Sims.

En el mercado negro, mi padre escogió para mi hermana mayor y para mí a dos gemelos como guardaespaldas. Mi hermana, sin pensarlo, se quedó con el hermano alto y corpulento, dejándome al “mudo”, que apenas seguía con vida. Me dio lástima y lo mantuve a mi lado. Como no hablaba, lo llevaba de un lugar a otro buscando médicos y remedios. Como tenía una severa misofobia, yo siempre mantenía cierta distancia entre nosotros. Creía que había sufrido algún trauma y por eso era así. Hasta que los enemigos de mi padre nos secuestraron a mi hermana y a mí. Él me dejó atrás, eligiendo sin titubear morir para recibir la bala por mi hermana. Antes de morir, habló por primera vez; con los ojos enrojecidos le dijo a mi hermana: —Por fin puedes verme. Y a mí, en cambio, me dijo: —En la próxima vida, te lo ruego, no me elijas. Entonces entendí que no era mudo ni tenía misofobia. Lo de “mudo” y “misofobia” era solo hacia mí. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, había vuelto al día en que elegíamos guardaespaldas. Esta vez, cumplí su deseo.

El Alfa de la Manada Luna Ascendente no perdona una deuda y mi padre ya no tenía más dinero, nada con qué negociar para salvar su propia vida. Excepto a mí. El Alfa me miró, y pude ver que pensaba que no valía lo que había perdido. "Ella puede darme un heredero", decidió Varon. "Y quizás eso pague la deuda. De lo contrario, el trato se cancela." Y así, le pertenecía a él. Pero él no tenía gusto por una compañera. Y yo no tenía gusto por él. Así que, el vínculo de compañeros era peligrosamente incompleto. Estaba segura de que a ninguno de los dos nos importaba. Lo odiaba. Casi más que a mi padre que me había vendido. Entonces, la Manada Niebla Carmesí vino a mí con una oferta. Me liberarían de mi prisión si les ayudaba a destruir a la Luna Ascendente y a Varon. Fue una elección fácil de hacer y acepté sin preguntar. Después de todo, si fallaba en dar a luz a un hijo, entonces estaría muerta. Pero, ¿y si mis sentimientos hacia Varon de repente empezaran a cambiar? «Entregada al Alfa» es una creación de Claire Wilkins, una autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

After the real son, Asher Vale, was brought back, everything in our house became tied to drawing lots. The chef of the day, who would have to cook a particular person's preferred dishes, had to be decided by drawing lots. Even our parents' kisses and hugs were chosen the same way. I always drew the short stick. The long stick, by default, belonged to Asher. He never had to do anything to receive our parents' love. Whenever I felt it was unfair and wanted to cry, Mom would scold me sharply, "I bought the lot-drawing box because I was afraid you'd feel hurt. I wanted to be fair to both of you. If you want something, decide it yourselves. Your father and I won't interfere. If you can't draw the long stick, you can only blame your bad luck." So I began practicing every day, shaking the box diligently, over and over, in hopes that one day, it would help me earn my parents' love. Unfortunately, for ten years, I never once drew the long stick. Until my birthday. Asher wanted to go to the amusement park, and Mom once again told us to decide by drawing lots. I secretly glued the two short sticks together and handed them to Mom, hoping to keep her with me. She slapped me hard across the face, screaming that I was cheating and disobedient. Then she stormed out of the house with Asher. When I fell to the ground, the short stick stabbed deep into my neck. 'I'm sorry, Mom. Next time, I'll work harder. Next time, I'll definitely draw the long stick.'
