Chūnin Exam Proctor

Para maisalba ang bahay na sinanla ng sugarol kong ama ay binenta ko ang katawan ko sa Ninong kong Contractor. Ngunit ang ginawa ko na yun ay nagbunga, ngunit itinago ko ito kay Ninong. Iniisip ng Ninong ko sa kaniya ang pinagbubuntis ko pero hindi ko inamin hangga't sa kaya kong itago. Dahil isang malaking chismis na naman kapag marami ang nakaalam. Pero no'ng malaman ko na nagpaplano na magpakasal si Ninong naalarma ako at doon pa sa babaeng inis na inis ako iyon ang pakakasalan ng Ninong ko dahil gusto na raw niya magkapamilya. "Ngayon gusto mo'ng akuin ko na ang bata na yan?" "Oo kaya ako ang pakasalan mo." Lakas loob kong sagot at nakangising nakatitig siya sa akin at dahan-dahang nagalakad palapit sa akin. "Bago 'yan, gusto ko munang masigurado na walang ibang nagsawa sa'yo kung hindi ako." Umakyat sa buong katawan ni Jessa ang pinaghalong paninindig ng balahibo at init dulot ng mainit na hininga ng kaniyang Ninong.

The books say that besides empaths, mages are the most sensitive when it comes to emotions. They also say that mages are the most dangerous supernatural s pecies to walk the earth. There's a reason for that, the elders say that mages who are underaged are a ticking time bomb because if a mage who is not of age constantly experiences negative emotions before their Coming of Age ceremony, their magic becomes twisted, their heart becomes cold and their eyes change to reflect that evil magic coursing through them. No one ever believed the books, thinking of them as fairy tales. At least they didn't until Olive Lane walked into school her magic dark and corrupted enough to give her a shadow familiar. Her hair no longer an almost white blond but a haunting purple. Gone were her kind and emotion-filled green eyes and in their place were amethyst eyes filled with nothing but hatred and amusement. Everyone watched her snap the neck of a classmate with the tilt of her head and it was in that moment they realized that the books and the elders were right. And for the first time in their peace-filled lives, the residents of Ravenswood felt true horror because when she looked at them, they knew that in front of them was the monster spoken of in fear and terrified reverence. Olive Lane,the sweetest and kindest person to ever walk the earth was now a Dark Mage. Will her soul be forever lost in the darkness or is there a hope for redemption? Will she defeat her demons or will they overtake her and ruin that which she loves...

She’d escaped me once. She’d not do it again. I am the brother of the Alpha of the Asara Pack. I did everything she asked of me. She was a queen up on her throne. I was her Captain of the Guard. Her secret assassin killing anyone who'd threaten her. I had declared my intent to claim her as my mate. And she had fled. Like the coward she is. Still she went ahead and seduced me, bidding me do whatever vile thing she commanded. Now she claims to rule this kingdom. However, her people are starving and her new fiancé is to blame. But will she hear a word of it? Of course not! Well, I've found a way to make her listen. To no longer allow her to deny what she really is. To rip her from her sanctuary amongst the humans. It's high time she learn a she-wolf’s place in this realm. She needs a real king, and it won't be that sniveling lord with designs on her. It's going to be me. She’ll learn I'm no longer hers to command. She is mine.

I am one of the last of the merfolk, born with the ability to create Mermaid's Pearls. Pearls that can bring the dead back to life. After the werewolf, Kyle, saved me from human hunters, I would have done anything for him. He died nine times expanding his pack’s territory. Each time, my pearl brought him back. The ninth time, I was too weak to even stand. But the first thing he did when he woke up was pull a sexy omega she-wolf into his arms and flirt, "Baby, you smell incredible—not like Althea. Her scent does nothing for me." He glanced at my pale face, annoyed. "Go rest. Get ready for the next time. I'll need you again soon." The next time? He had no idea. There would be no next time. I only had nine pearls. And I'd just given him my last.

"You're an insensitive Bastard," I say. I want him to say something to do something, but he just leans against the wall staring at me. To my horror, I feel the telltale sign of tears, but I blink it away aggressively. Max walks towards me and cups my face "You've no idea," he says, leaning in. I don't know what I hope for, but I lift my head to face him anyway. We stare at each other for what feels like an eternity when he whispers "Do you think I'm not tired Callista, you should know by now that I am an addict and you are my addiction, I know I should back away, but these days when it comes to you, it seems my body doesn't obey my commands. I close my eyes, and i see you. I breathe, and your scent fills the air. Every day, i crave a taste of you. You everything to me. " His nose caresses my cheek, and he takes a long inhale, and I realise he's breathing in my scent. He then puts his forehead to mine, and his lips brush mine when he says "I'm never going back to how I was before, am I?" When I open my eyes, he's gone.

"You’re afraid of what you did? No, Jax. You’re afraid of how much you liked it." Ryker has always played to win. On the ice, in the locker room, even when it comes to protecting Jaxon, the best friend he’s wanted for longer than he’ll admit. But Jaxon is off-limits. Not just because he’s straight, not just because he’s Ryker’s teammate, but because he’s with Erin, Ryker’s sister. Then one night shatters everything. A mistake. A moment of weakness. A touch that should have never happened. Jaxon won’t talk about it. Won’t look at him the same way. Won’t break up with Erin. And Ryker? He should walk away. Should hate him for it. But instead, he keeps getting pulled back in, because Jaxon may be lying to himself, but his body tells a different story. Lust turns to obsession. Friendship to something jagged and raw. And as their secret spirals into something darker, Ryker realizes one thing. Some forbidden things aren’t just dangerous. They’re inevitable.

“Wala ka bang balak magpakasal?" Ang tanong na paulit-ulit na sinusundan si Abraham Consunji, isang kilalang negosyante na sa dami ng ari-arian, wala pa ring sariling tahanan pagdating sa pag-ibig. Hindi dahil bitter siya, kundi dahil masyado siyang abala sa pagpapatakbo ng imperyo ng pamilya. At kung tutuusin, ayaw niya talaga sa istorbo. Malapit na siyang tumuntong ng kwarenta, pero ni minsan, hindi niya naramdamang may kulang. Para sa kanya, sapat na ang katahimikan at kontrol sa buhay—dalawang bagay na sa tingin niya ay mawawala kapag may babae sa paligid. Pero isang pabor ang babaligtad sa takbo ng lahat... ang pag-aalaga sa inaanak niyang si Yvonne, na ngayon ay isa nang makulit at maganda nang dalaga. At sa bawat araw na magkasama sila, hindi lang ang pasensya niya ang sinusubok, pati ang pagpipigil sa sariling naaakit sa isang bagay na hindi dapat. Makakaiwas ba siya? O tuluyan na siyang matatalo sa tukso ng isang bawal na damdamin?

On my wedding day, my sister was drugged by my fiancé's best friend and viciously assaulted by a group of groomsmen. When she came to, the shame and horror drove her to leap to her death, her broken body crumpling at my feet. Herbert Brady shielded my eyes from the grisly sight, vowing to make things right. But when the truth came out that Lori Reilly was behind it, he smashed my phone to keep me from calling the police. Lori shrugged with mock innocence. "The guys were just messing around. So what if they tore her clothes off? I've been half-naked around them plenty of times. Why was she so fragile?" She slung her arm around Herbert's neck, whining, "I told you not to marry some broke nobody. Poor people have such brittle pride. Look at the mess Mona has made." When I demanded justice, Herbert stayed cool, sliding a Centurion card across the table. "Ten million dollars. Enough to buy your silence? Lori is one of us, part of the city's elite inner circle. Push your luck, and you're making enemies of everyone who runs this town. Come on, it was just a wedding prank gone wrong." I seized the car and snapped it like a twig. Ten million dollars? To buy the life of the Woodard family's cherished heiress?
