Auto Racing Cars

My sister-in-law, Maeve Cohen, floored my luxury car and blew past traffic at about 125 mph, killing a family of three. She pretended to be me and acted as if nothing could touch her. "Those idiots walked into my path! It's not my fault they got hit!" she snapped. "I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress. Even if I ran, who would dare catch me?" In my last life, Maeve said her husband wasn't home and she needed a car to visit her parents, so she borrowed mine. She ended up racing down the road, plowing into a family crossing the street, and driving back over them to make sure they were dead. The couple had just bought a house. The baby was only a month old. When the victims' family demanded an explanation, she hid behind my reputation and spat venom. "They're just three worthless people! I'm the Lincoln Enterprise heiress; why should I explain myself? Tell them to come to me for funeral expenses!" The grieving family couldn't take it and came to my in-laws' place. "Three worthless people, huh? Today, we'll end you so you can apologize to them in person!" My husband had died the year before. With no one to protect me, the victims' family turned on me, and I was stabbed to death. The valuable wedding gifts my family had given to me became Maeve's overnight. My family tried to appeal for me, but trolls who hated the rich maliciously reported tax problems about my father's company. My father was driven to exhaustion. One night, he fell asleep at the wheel, and the car plunged off a cliff, killing him. Only after I died did I discover it had all been Maeve's plan to ruin us out of spite. Then I opened my eyes. I was back on the day Maeve took my car and ran into those people.

“I think it's about time you devour me.” I heard him say and I blinked. What was he talking about? A frown creased my face. His confidence and graceful poise seem to unnerve me. He had something about him I couldn't figure out, yet. “Wh-a-t did you say?” I stuttered, forcing myself to tear my eyes away from his face. He chuckled, then leaned closer to my ears. “I asked when you were going to devour me.” I flinched. What was he playing at? Was he flirting with me so openly? I willed myself to ignore his statement. I had a bigger task at hand to let myself be bothered by a pretty man. I cleared my throat and his eyes were now focused on me. “I have no time for your gimmicks. Excuse me.” I was leaving when I felt his hands draw me back. “You leave only when I ask you to.” He growled and I instantly felt my knees weaken. His voice carries with it some kind of authority. I felt my wolf curl inside of me. I have so many questions racing in my head. Who was this handsome stranger with so much nerves? ***** When Ava's mother fell ill, Ava vowed to go to the ends of the earth to save her. Ava got more shattered after finding her boyfriend in bed with her best friend. With her boyfriend's betrayal fresh in her mind, Ava moved on with a promise to lock her heart from any man. But the moon goddess has another plan for her. Dylan Gibson, the Savage Alpha had set his eyes on her. She had something he wanted. Something no one else could give him. Will Ava find love or she's just a means to an end?

My back slams against the door, my breaths shallow and heavy, I try to move but his hold remains. “ What are you doing? My boyfriend is the other room!” I whisper, trying to ignore how hard my heart’s racing right now. He draws closer, the distance between us vanishing in one step. His tatted arms brace the door, caging me between them. “ The same boyfriend who's on a date with another woman?” My pride takes a hit but I meet his eyes. “ It's fake.” I say more to me than him. “ It isn't.” He tilts his head, I want to say something to defend Chris but his lips rest gingerly on my nape, drowning the rest of my words— a breathy moan slips past my lips. “ If I had you…” he plants a kiss. “ I would never make you a second option.” ****** When Zinnia’s older brother has to leave the country for a year for a business trip so he sends her to live with his best friend who also happens to be her secret long distance boyfriend. When she gets there, she expects a warm welcome but she sees the man she loves in the arms of another. He tells her it's fake. That his parents arranged it for a business deal. She believes him. But his older brother doesn't seem to agree. He mocks her, makes her mad but beneath? He wants her and would do anything to have her. A bet. “ If my brother leaves her for you, I'll vanish and never bother you again.” He leans close, my throat tightens. “ But if he doesn't, you're mine.” Now Zinnia must do everything to ruin the marriage but what happens when she starts to fall for the very person she swore she wouldn't?

Just then, he pulled her closer to him and placed his hands softly on her waist. Belle’s heart was racing faster than it had ever done before. She couldn’t believe what was happening. He was taller than her and she loves a man who was taller than her. Ronnie’s brain reeled from sensory overload. Belle’s honeysuckle scent,her red velvet lips, shoved him to the brink. It had been a long time. He couldn’t remember ever wanting a woman the way he wanted her. He leaned forward, looking into her eyes, he whispered in her ear with a soft voice; “Can i kiss you?” Belle was almost trembling but not because she was afraid. It was because she had waited for this moment and it was finally happening. She stared right back into his eyes and nodded in consent. Ronnie smiled at her softly. She could tell he was pleased by her approval. He pulled her closer again. This time, so his body was brushing against hers. Her boobs were touching his broad and chiseled chest. He could see her black bra through the dress she wore which showed off her cleavage. It drove him wild seeing them. She felt him nudging at her lower thighs. He felt really big she thought. He breathed deeply as he ran his hands through her hair and face. He softly held her chin up closer to his face so his lips could touch her soft moisturized lips and then he kissed her. Her lips felt so soft he couldn’t stop kissing them. She wondered if she had finally found the perfect guy to prove to her friends she’s a real lover girl and not a nonchalant girl who hates or doesn’t really care about love.

[WARNING STRONG MATURED CONTENTS] Beside me, I sensed his movement as he turned towards me, his eyes searching for mine. I purposely avoided meeting his gaze, instead focusing on calming my racing breath. But try as I might, my breath still trembled, betraying my inner turmoil. Despite my rapid blinking, a single tear escaped, making its way down my cheek. I heard the covers rustle as he shifted closer to me. His finger gently brushed against my face, capturing the tear. "I'm sorry, Hailey," his voice resonated in the dimly lit room, both deep and gentle. His touch was followed by a soft stroke through my brunette hair and a tender kiss on the crook of my neck. "I know this isn't what you wanted," he murmured, regret evident in his voice. "It doesn't matter," I replied quietly, my gaze still fixed on the ceiling. His apology felt like a stab to the heart, but I couldn't hold him responsible. Our circumstances were far beyond our control.Swallowing hard, I tried to push down the ache in my chest. "It was unavoidable, it isn't your fault," I muttered, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill. He sighed heavily, running a hand through his dark, tousled hair. His arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I allowed my cheek to rest against his strong chest, finding some solace in his comforting presence. The steady rhythm of his heartbeat brought a sliver of comfort to my shattered emotions. "I wish I could have given you more time to get to know me before all of this," he confessed, a touch of bitterness seeping into his words. "But those old Elders insisted on sealing our union immediately."

Eigentlich sollte sie „Ja, ich will“ sagen. Stattdessen rannte sie. In der Nacht, die ihr Schicksal besiegeln sollte, entscheidet sich Sofia für die Freiheit und gegen ein Leben, das sie nie wollte. Gefangen in Italien durch ein mächtiges Arrangement, das als Liebe getarnt war, riskiert sie alles für die Flucht – die High Heels in der Hand, das Herz rasend, die Zukunft ungewiss. Sie hat keinen Plan. Was sie jedoch nicht erwartet hat, ist, direkt in etwas viel Gefährlicheres hineinzulaufen. Luca ist kein Mann, dem man zufällig begegnet. Kalt, kontrolliert und hineingeboren in eine Welt, die von Macht und Blut regiert wird, ist er ein Mafia-Erbe mit Feinden, die seinen Tod wollen. In dem Moment, als Sofia in sein Auto springt, kollidieren ihre Leben auf eine Weise, die keiner von beiden rückgängig machen kann. Schüsse fallen. Und plötzlich reicht Weglaufen nicht mehr aus. Luca lässt sich auf keine Bindungen ein. Er vertraut niemandem so leicht und er schafft definitiv keinen Platz für Fremde. Aber Sofia ist anders. Sie fordert ihn heraus, stellt ihn infrage und weigert sich, wie all die anderen Angst vor ihm zu haben. Und trotz jedes Instinkts, der ihm sagt, er solle sie wegstoßen, tut er das Eine, was er nie geplant hatte: er beschützt sie. Denn in Lucas Welt kann es einen das Leben kosten, zu viel zu wissen. Während die Feinde näher rücken und sich die Gefahr um sie herum verdichtet, erkennt Sofia, dass ihre Flucht erst gerade begonnen hat. Die Wahrheit über Luca ist dunkler, als sie es sich vorgestellt hat, und je tiefer sie in sein Leben hineingezogen wird, desto schwerer fällt es ihr, wieder zu gehen. Doch die eigentliche Frage ist nicht, ob sie ihn verlassen kann.

My fated mate rejected me, but Roman Blackwood the bad boy alpha rejected his fated mate for me. "You're mine Mirabelle." A jolting pleasure skidded down my spine as his deep rough voice sounded beside my ear along with his searing breath that set my skin ablaze.  My breath was heavy, my senses incredibly heightened, I was cornered against the wall staring into the deepest grey eyes. I could smell him, feel him, my heart was racing and my wolf was responding. Jitters of heat trailed my skin, I could feel them deep in my veins knotting down in my stomach. The red moon had passed, and the heat was rising among the clan, it was the season to breed, and my body was extremely sensitive especially in the presence of this werewolf. "You can't run from it, you can't deny it, you're mine." His rough fingers grazed my face and I shuddered shutting my eyes to hide the turmoil of emotions within. "I'm not your mate Rome." My wolf made a protest within. I wasn't his mate, but my heart body and soul wanted him! His arms lowered down, I could feel them wound around my waist aggressively pulling me towards him. 'Please don't do this...' I wanted to plead, 'I can't hold back!' "Look at me fawn" My heartbeat skipped, his intoxicating scent drew me in with an undeniably captivating allure, I couldn't look away, nor could I deny the strong emotions binding me to him. I was his...how could I keep denying that? "I told you last time, deny me again and I'll let the whole world know that you're mine." But even though my body ached for him... I'd have to turn away, for Roman Blackwood was the only man I couldn't have.

I was known all throughout high society as the perfect, obedient daughter. Suitors lined up at my door in droves, yet I insisted on marrying Grayson Thatcher, whose family fortune had crumbled, all because of a promise we made when we were young. I thought we would be partners building a life together, but he fell deeply in love with his childhood sweetheart, a girl who spent her days running wild. The night before our wedding, he went street racing with her and they both got arrested, causing him to miss the ceremony entirely. The scandal made it everywhere. On New Year's Eve, he left me to organize the family banquet alone while he ran off with his childhood sweetheart to some crowded plaza. To see a different display of fireworks, they set fire to balloons people had released into the sky and triggered a massive blaze. Once again, I exhausted every connection I had to get him out of the mess. I cleaned up 999 of his reckless mistakes and kept the Thatcher family's business afloat, making sure he could live without a care in the world. I thought that eventually, he would at least remember some small part of what we meant to each other. Yet when I fell critically ill and needed a heart transplant, he took the only available donor heart and gave it to his childhood sweetheart instead. That was the first time I broke down and demanded answers. He stared at me, cold and unmoved. "You have the nerve to ask me that? If you hadn't forced yourself on me, I would've gotten together with Maeve years ago. You're as stiff as an old lady. How could you ever compare to someone like her? She's full of life. "I've let you play Mrs. Thatcher for over a decade. I was more than generous. Maeve is going to be my wife now. When she dies, we'll be buried together. You won't even get that much." I died consumed by bitterness and rage. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day of the matchmaking event. I picked up the marriage proposal the Thatchers had sent and tore it to pieces. Then, I reached for the one from the wealthiest family in the room and smiled. "Dad, if I have to get married anyway, I might as well marry the man with the most money and power."

Damien und seine ehemalige Frau hatten sich vor fünf Jahren getrennt — ich heiratete ihn später. Als wir heiraten wollten, hatte er bereits eine dreizehnjährige Adoptivtochter namens Lily. Nach unserer Ehe zeigte Damien mir große Zuneigung, während ich Lily stets wie meine eigene Tochter behandelte. Auch wenn sie mir ab und zu Feindseligkeit entgegenbrachte, schenkte ich ihr keine Beachtung. Solches Verhalten ist für ein junges Mädchen verständlich. Als mein Vater versehentlich von einem Auto getroffen und im Wachkoma blieb, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Damien und seinem Assistenten mit. „Chef, ich verstehe es nicht — warum blockiert du die Schädeloperation?“, fragte der Assistent verwirrt, „Die Ärzte gehen davon aus, dass er sich erholen kann. Warum hältst du dich an eine konservativ Behandlung fest?“ „Er darf nicht aufwachen“, sagte Damiens mit gedämpfter Stimme. „Er hat Lilys Gesicht gesehen.“ Ich presste meine Hand fest über den Mund, sodass die Fingernägel tief in mein Fleisch drangen. Lily war die Adoptivtochter von Damien und seiner verstorbenen ehemaligen Frau Sarah. Sarah starb, als sie Damien rettete — aus diesem Grund zeigte er Lily stets eine Mischung aus Schuldgefühl und völliger Nachsicht. Damien fuhr fort, seine Stimme klang unendlich wirr und zerrissen. „Aber Lily hat es nicht absichtlich getan! Sie ist erst 13 Jahre alt — einen Eintrag im Strafregister würde ihr Leben ruinieren. Sarahs letzter Wunsch war, dass ich Lily betreute und sie gesund und unversehrt erwachsen ließ. Ich kann sie nicht allein lassen.“ Der Assistent schwieg einige Sekunden. „Was passiert mit deiner Frau?“ „Ich werde ihr alles entschädigen“, sagte Damien mit sanfterer Stimme. „Ich schenke ihr ein wohlhabendes Leben und sichere für ihren Vater — der bei dem Unfall verletzt wurde — das größte Private zimmer sowie die besten Pfleger. Die Kosten spielen für mich keine Rolle.“ Mein Herz sank tief. Weil du dich Sarah und Lily schuldig fühlst, opferst du meinen Vater? Mit zitternden Händen sicherte ich die Aufzeichnung und bat meinen Anwalt, die Scheidungsvereinbarung vorzubereiten. Als ich schließlich spurlos verschwand, verlor der einst mächtige Geschäftsführer die Fassung.

El día en que mi amor se desvanecía para siempre, por fin descubrí algo sobre mi compañero, Ethan Langley. No se trataba de que él fuera completamente incapaz de orientarse… es solo que no podía recordar cuál era el camino que llevaba hacia mí. Ethan era el Alfa de la manada, mientras que yo era su compañera. Habíamos sido compañeros durante diez años. Pero cada vez que lo necesitaba, siempre se perdía. El día de nuestra ceremonia de marcaje, Ethan se perdió dentro del territorio de la manada. Por eso, la ceremonia se retrasó tres días. Cada año, en el aniversario de nuestro marcaje, Ethan siempre se perdía. La comida del banquete nocturno que yo preparaba siempre se quedaba completamente fría. Cuando tenía ocho meses de embarazo de nuestro cachorro, le envié un mensaje de auxilio a través del vínculo mental después de sufrir una fuerte caída. Mientras Ethan me gritaba por el vínculo mental que ya venía, en realidad estuvo perdido en el territorio de la manada durante cinco horas. Para cuando nuestros conocidos de la manada llegaron a rescatarme, mi cachorro ya estaba muerto. Mientras yacía en la cama de piedra del centro de sanación, mis conocidos de la manada se acercaron para consolarme. —Ethan no sabe orientarse en absoluto, ni aunque su vida dependiera de ello. No lo hizo a propósito. No te enojes con él, ¿sí? Aún podrán tener cachorros en el futuro. Solo pude asentir, aturdida. Pero el día en que se suponía que asistiríamos al funeral de nuestro cachorro, me di cuenta de que Ethan conocía bien el camino cuando iba al volante de la camioneta. Incluso tomó un desvío solo para pasar por la residencia de Lyria Jeffries, una Beta. —Elena, aún queda algo de tiempo antes de que empiece el funeral. Voy a ir a dejar primero a Lyria a su casa para que pueda visitar a su familia. Antes de que pudiera oponerme, el auto ya se había detenido justo frente a la residencia de Lyria. Lyria se subió al asiento del copiloto como si fuera lo más natural del mundo. Llevaba una sonrisa radiante mientras decía: —¡Mira qué bien te he adiestrado, Ethan! Si alguna vez olvidas del camino a mi casa, ¡me aseguraré de despellejarte vivo! Solo entonces Lyria me notó, sentada en el asiento trasero. Fingió timidez mientras sacaba la lengua. —Solo bromeaba, Elena. Soporté las «inofensivas» pullas de Lyria con una expresión de piedra. Pero justo después de que Ethan dejara a Lyria, olvidó de inmediato el camino al funeral. Por eso, el funeral se retrasó media hora. Mientras sostenía la pequeña urna de mi cachorro, sentí que el corazón se me hundía hasta lo más profundo del estómago. Resulta que sí existe alguien que puede quedar exenta del terrible sentido de orientación de Ethan. Es solo que… mi cachorro y yo nunca fuimos la excepción.
