Christopher Reid Solo Leveling

Colter Giordano, mi prometido desde hace seis años, heredero de la familia Giordano, recibió una bala por una bailarina llamada Mia. No la recibió por mí. Una bala me atravesó el hombro. La sangre, caliente y pegajosa, me manchó el vestido. Pero mi corazón dolía más. Me preguntó si estaba bien. Solo una vez. Luego se apresuró a llevar a Mia al hospital, dejándome sangrando en el suelo. Al día siguiente, la foto de Mia apareció en mi feed de Instagram. Ahí estaba ella, en una suite de lujo del hospital. Colter se estaba desviviendo por un rasguño en su brazo que apenas se notaba. El pie de foto era de solo dos palabras: [Mi Héroe.] Le di me gusta a la publicación. Luego hice una llamada encriptada. —La oferta de la familia Falcone —dije—. La acepto. Consígueme un avión a Sicilia. Tres días.

Le di tres años de mi vida, solo para que me trataran como a una simple sustituta… peor que a un perro. Cuando su llamada “luz blanca de luna” regresó, me apartó sin dudarlo. Está bien. Acepté la alianza familiar y me casé con el Alfa más poderoso del Norte. ¿Ahora se arrepiente y me ruega que vuelva? Demasiado tarde. Confabularon contra mí con aconita, queriendo que muriera en un sucio sótano. Pero mi compañero —el verdadero Rey del Norte— arrasó con toda la hacienda solo para salvarme. Intentaron robar mi linaje alfa con magia oscura. Los hice saborear el exilio, convertidos en renegados, despreciados por todos. ¿Y él? Se arrodilló ante mí, suplicando por perdón. Yo me refugié en los brazos de mi compañero y lo vi ser desterrado para siempre. —Ángel —le dije con frialdad—. —Abre los ojos. Yo soy la única Luna del Norte.

"Ava, you don't have to do this. Come back to the pack." Hayes spoke, catching up to me. He's right. Why am I doing this? I'm his Luna, so why am I fleeing? Tears burning at the back of my eyes, I stare straight into his eyes. "I, Ava Chester, reject you, Hayes Reid, Alpha of Nightshade Pack as my Mate." Immediately the words left my lips, I felt something snap—my heart feeling torn—and my wolf winced. "I—I won't accept this rejection, Ava." He managed to say, amidst deep gasps. Wasn't he the same person who hated me from the very first day he saw me?! I saw pain—and something else I couldn't quite figure out—flash through his features as he bored his eyes into me, as if only realising now how much pain he had caused me. If anyone had told me two months ago that I would one day reject Hayes as my mate, I'd have had the person executed and his head put on a stake. •~. .~• Ava, betrothed to Hayes, is in love with him and has wanted nothing more than finally meeting him. But her fantasies of him had been nothing but that—mere fantasies, as she realises that Hayes wasn't who she had thought him to be. After loosing his mate, and brother to a rogue attack, Hayes is left as the new alpha of the pack without a chance to properly mourn his loss. With the sudden death of his mate, he decides to enclose his heart. As the new alpha, Hayes is faced with the duty of getting a Luna, especially as his betrothed has now reached marriageable age, despite him not wanting it. While still mourning the loss of his first mate, how, then, was he to crown another his Luna?

SIX PACK SERIES BOOK SIX ~ *This is the final book in the series. I strongly recommend reading books 1-5 (Gray, Theo, Jax, Brock, & Reid) before reading this one.* CHASE : Two months ago, everything changed. An enemy descended on our territory, a war was fought, and lives were lost. I woke up the next morning as Alpha of my pack, a role I never expected to step into so soon. I learned that I'd been lied to, deceived for half my life by the people closest to me. I couldn't take the pain, so I just shut it all out, descending into a darkness of my own making. And then there she was. Her flame burned so bright that I couldn't resist reaching out to touch it. Taste it. Take it. If she's fire, I'm gasoline- this thing between us chaotic and volatile, bound to set everything and everyone around us ablaze. Still, I can't let her go. If I'm headed for , I'm dragging her with me. ~ VIENNA : Life has never been an easy ride for me, but I've always been resilient. I'm just trying to make my way in the world; trying to build something for myself that nobody can take away. I've got big plans, none of which include getting involved with an arrogant Alpha who thinks he can lay claim to anything he wants. The truth is, Chase doesn't know what he wants- but that doesn't stop him from pulling me into his vortex of destruction, one that I can't escape no matter how hard I try to fight it. I'm no savior, but maybe he doesn't need someone to save him from the darkness. Maybe what he really needs, is for someone to join him there.

La amante con VIH y el esposo que pagará caro. A Sabrina, el gran amor de Roberto, le diagnosticaron VIH en el hospital donde yo trabajaba. Faltando a mi ética médica, se lo conté a él. Pero Roberto pensó que lo estaba engañando. No solo me difamó, acusándome de la muerte de un paciente, lo que me llevó a la cárcel, sino que después también diluyó un abortivo en mi leche. Con ocho semanas de embarazo, sufrí una hemorragia masiva. Le supliqué ayuda, pero me apartó de una patada. —Por fin, dejarás de ser un impedimento para que Sabri y yo estemos juntos. Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, estaba de vuelta en el fatídico día en que a Sabrina le habían diagnosticado VIH. Y, esta vez, no solo guardé silencio, sino que además le pedí el divorcio a Roberto. Después de todo, él la amaba tanto… Tenía que dejarlos ser felices juntos.

Mi esposo, Alejandro Ruiz, cayó del tercer piso, no solo se rompió las dos piernas, sino que también se lastimó en su parte íntima. Y yo, lejos de preocuparme, lo llevé al hospital más alejado. Todo se remontaba a mi vida anterior: Alejandro se había lastimado a propósito con tal de que su amiga de la infancia, Sofía López, quien realizaba sus prácticas en el hospital, pudiera acumular suficiente experiencia práctica y consolidar su puesto. Para lograrlo, eligió lanzarse desde el tercer piso. Luego, deliberadamente evitó el hospital más cercano y me obligó a conducir tres mil kilómetros para que Sofía lo atendiera. Al considerar que ella solo era una estudiante que había entrado al hospital por contactos y no tenía las credenciales para operar, rechacé su propuesta. Pero él me abofeteó con fuerza y dijo: —¡Solo quiero usar mis heridas para ayudarla! ¿Acaso no tienes ni un poco de empatía? Ante su terquedad, temí que el retraso arruinara sus piernas para siempre. Llamé a su madre para convencerlo. Sin embargo, Sofía, al no obtener el puesto, avergonzada y llena de rabia, se suicidó saltando en el hospital. Alejandro, gracias a la atención oportuna, salvó sus piernas. Pero el día del alta, cuando fui a recogerlo con alegría, él me atropelló con el auto, matándome en el acto. Antes de morir, le cuestioné con rabia, pero él me miró con desdén: —Si no hubieras impedido que ayudara a Sofía, ¡ella no habría muerto! Al abrir los ojos de nuevo, me encontré de vuelta en el día en que mi esposo se rompió las piernas.

What will happen when Daniel manages to reach the vampire, one of Zander Udimov's favorites?

"Veronica is pregnant!", Mother said loudly I stopped dead in my tracks. The realization of that hit me suddenly like I was unaware of it before. "Your younger sister, Veronica is pregnant, Adele! She is", mother said again. I sucked in a very sharp breath, trying to keep myself in control and perfect order as I turned to face mother and spat those words out. "I am not getting married. I am not getting married to someone I do not know. No, that is not going to happen", I said very clearly this time and I saw a tear drop from my mother's right eye. "Do you not get it? You have no choice in this. You have no say in this!" "And I wonder why that is", I replied with gritted teeth as I glared at mother murderously. ----------------- Adele Woods; a despaired, pessimistic and brokenhearted lady found herself agreeing to an arranged matrimony after much persuasion and convincing talk from her parents, especially her mother. She had no say in it and that made her angry. Being a rebellious person, Adele refused to even take a look at her betrothed's picture. She had a thought on her mind. Her husband would want one thing from her; to procreate. And that is one of the things she would never do. But is it possible? When her husband is Christopher Marvin; a young, handsome man who would do no other thing than to make her laugh. He was the most flirtatious, lively, cheerful, and manly person she has ever met. He was definitely not what she imagined her husband to be like. Will Adele be able to pull herself out of her 'annoying' marriage? Or will she find herself changing because of a certain hot man?

En una fastuosa fiesta, el joven heredero del sector declaró que la mujer con la que realmente quería desposarse era mi hermanastra en vez de mí. Me retiré con iniciativa y me casé con Leonardo Pérez, quien me quería durante muchos años. Después de casarnos, éramos felices y amorosos...Hasta que, al estar embarazada con gran esfuerzo, descubrí que en la leche que él me daba cada noche había contenido anticonceptivos. Y el collar de diamantes que guardaba en la caja fuerte, superficialmente destinado a pedirme matrimonio, llevaba grabadas las siglas del nombre de mi hermanastra, Olivia. Resultó que yo siempre había sido solo un obstáculo que él intentaba eliminar para su verdadero amor. Durante años fingió ternura solo para allanar el camino a mi hermanastra. Por más ingenua que fuera, en ese instante desperté por completo: una autorización de aborto, un acuerdo de divorcio… Leonardo y yo nos convertimos en extraños.

Una semana antes de nuestra Ceremonia de Marcaje, en la fiesta de un amigo de Ethan Stormwind, le dije que quería romper con él. Al escucharme, todos se rieron, pues sabían que durante los últimos seis años, mi objetivo en la vida había sido convertirme en su Luna. ¿Por qué querría romper con él si solo faltaba una semana para la ceremonia? Incluso Ethan pensó que estaba siendo irrazonable, y me cuestionó: —¿Solo porque el día de nuestra ceremonia tengo que llevar a Selene al curandero para que le hagan una revisión, estás haciendo un berrinche y quieres romper conmigo? Después de una breve pausa añadió: —Los dos somos adultos, ¿puedes comportarte de manera más madura? Podrías reprogramar la ceremonia. ¿Por qué insistes en ese día en particular? No tengo tiempo para tus escenas de celos. Asentí en silencio. Sí, algo tenía que cambiar, pero no era la fecha de la ceremonia, sino él. Yo iba a aceptar ser marcada por alguien más.
