Damit Picture

Ich war sieben Jahre lang in einer Beziehung mit dem besten Freund meines älteren Bruders, Alpha Alexander Parker. Doch es gab eine Wendung – diese Beziehung war ein Geheimnis. Eines Tages, nachdem er zu viel selbstgebrannten Schnaps getrunken hatte, sagte Alexander im Rausch zu mir: „Willow, Stella ist jetzt mit einem Welpen schwanger. Wenn sie keinen Gefährten hat, wird sie von den Ältesten aus dem Rudel verbannt. Ist es in Ordnung, wenn ich ihr vorerst die Position der Luna gebe?“ In ruhigem und sanftem Ton antwortete ich: „Okay.“ In meinem früheren Leben stimmte ich Alexanders Vorschlag nicht zu. Ich bestand auch darauf, die Paarungszeremonie mit ihm abzuhalten. Währenddessen wuchs Stellas Bauch mit den vergehenden Wochen immer weiter. Am Ende konnte sie es nicht mehr verbergen. Die wütenden Ältesten verstießen sie schließlich aus dem Rudel. Nachdem Stella fort war, kam Alexander nicht mehr nach Hause, und er sprach kein Wort mehr mit mir. Ich wusste, dass er mir für alles die Schuld gab. Einige Zeit später starb ich an überwältigender Schuld und Depression. Als ich dabei war, meine Augen zu schließen, sah ich, wie Alexander erschrocken in mein Zimmer stürmte. Stella, die eigentlich aus dem Rudel verstoßen sein sollte, folgte ihm mit einem Welpen in ihren Armen. In diesem Moment erkannte ich schließlich, dass Alexander zwar Stellas Retter war, aber niemals der passendste Gefährte für mich war. Jetzt, da ich wiedergeboren wurde, lehnte ich seinen Vorschlag nicht ab. Stattdessen entschied ich mich, alle Verbindungen zu ihm abzubrechen, damit er und Stella glücklich bis ans Ende ihrer Tage leben konnten.

Ich war gefangen, gefangen in einer Gefährtenbindung, die ich hasste. Würde ich jemals ihrem Griff entkommen? „Ich, Than Sable, Alpha des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels, weise dich, Kaia Glace, als meine Luna zurück.“ Ich erinnerte mich an seine grausamen, schneidenden Worte, als wären es erst gestern gewesen. Unsere Gefährtenbindung existierte nicht. Das war eine Lüge. Sie existierte sehr wohl, aber Than erlaubte sich nicht, mir nahezukommen, geschweige denn, mit mir allein in einem Raum zu sein. Es war, als wäre ich ihm ein Ekel. Er machte mich zu nichts – zum Schatten einer Gefährtin, und ich hasste ihn dafür. Ich konnte nicht so weiterleben. Warten… Ich war Kaia Glace, die rechtmäßige Luna des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels. Doch mein Gefährte, Alpha Than, weigerte sich, mich an seiner Seite herrschen zu lassen. Ich fühlte mich von der Gefährtenbindung betrogen, von meinem eigenen Gefährten unerwünscht. Jahre hatte ich damit verbracht, seine Liebe zu gewinnen – gesehen zu werden… Aber wie konnte ich das, wenn er eine andere hatte… Ich konnte nicht bleiben. Es war nicht mehr sicher für mich oder mein ungeborenes Kind. Ein Kind, das durch Gewalt gezeugt wurde. Ich musste gehen… weglaufen und meinen Vater finden. Er war mein einziger Rettungsanker. Allerdings wurde er zuletzt beim Feindesrudel gesehen, dem Dunkelphantom-Rudel. Ein berüchtigtes Rudel mit einem kalten, berechnenden Alpha, der nichts von Außenseitern hielt. Es hieß, die, die das Rudel betraten, wurden nie wieder gesehen. Doch ich hatte keine Wahl… Ich musste ins Feindesrudel, um mich meiner Gefährtenbindung zu entledigen. Doch dort begegnete ich einem anderen – einem anderen, der mich demselben trügerischen Spiel der Gefährtenbindung auslieferte.

I go to the city where my online boyfriend, Logan Wright, lives to surprise him without telling him first. Instead, I overhear him talking with his friends. "So what if her voice is nice? She's probably ugly as hell if she's reluctant to even send a picture. If the hottest girl on campus hadn't turned me down, I wouldn't even bother messing around with someone like her. "Not only is she ugly, but she's also horny as hell. She keeps saying she has to see what I'm packing down there before we even meet." One of his friends snickers. "So did you show her?" Logan let out a low grunt in agreement. "But it wasn't mine. It was Troy's." His friend blurts, "What the hell? Troy Levine? Your roommate? You said he was at least eight inches. Were you serious?" "Of course. Why would I lie to you? Troy is a real bro. Seeing that I didn't want to send that kind of picture, he offered to do it for me." They freeze for a second, then all burst out laughing. I laugh too. I've heard of body doubles in Showbiz. This is the first time I've seen a body double in online romance. I want every detail on Troy, and I want them in the next three minutes!

So when her friends suggest stealing the answer sheet from the hottest—and most feared—professor on campus, she takes the bait. But Professor Lucien Drake, famously known as Professor Grumpy Pants, isn’t just strict… he’s dangerously attentive. And he's been watching her. He catches her.

At our wedding, my wife's assistant "accidentally" uploaded the wrong photo. The big screen was supposed to display our wedding portraits. Instead, it was a picture of my wife and him in full wedding attire. Their fingers were laced together, their eyes locked in a soft, intimate gaze, looking every bit like a blissfully happy couple. The entire venue erupted in shocked whispers. The assistant froze in shock, acting like he had no idea why he was in the photo. He started panicking, asking if we should just postpone the ceremony. My wife, however, stayed surprisingly calm. She whispered her solution, “Everyone’s here. Postponing now would be humiliating and, honestly, a bad omen. Beside, most people here don’t even know what the groom looks like. Why don’t we just let him stand in for you?” Our friends were dumbfounded. They all thought I’d explode in anger and jealousy after hearing something so outrageous. Instead, I nodded, saying it was actually a great idea. Seeing how composed I remained, my wife looked pleased with herself. She told me that since we were legally married anyway, she’d make it up to me later with another ceremony. However, she seemed to have forgotten one thing: she had just signed the divorce papers.

Tahimik ang mansyon. Tahimik… maliban sa mahinang iyak ni Princess sa bisig ko—isang buwang gulang, walang alam, walang kasalanan. Pero siya ang unang nasaktan sa lahat ng ‘to. Siya ang naiipit sa pagitan ng dalawang taong hindi na alam kung paano magmahal nang sabay. Nakaluhod ako sa harap ni Elise. Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa laylayan ng bestida niya, parang batang takot na maiwan sa dilim. Nanginginig ang labi ko, pinipigilan ang mga luhang ayaw na sanang lumabas—pero hindi ko na kayang kontrolin. “Please, Elise…” garalgal kong pakiusap. “’Wag mo kaming iwan. Hindi ko alam kung paano palalakihin si Princess nang wala ka. Hindi ko alam kung paano mamuhay kung wala kayo…” Pero wala. Wala siyang emosyon. Wala siyang luha. Matigas ang titig niya, parang ako pa ang mali. Bitbit niya ang maleta niya—hindi lang punô ng damit, kundi punô ng lahat ng alaala namin. Lahat ng pangarap. Lahat ng ‘akala ko tayo.’ “Hindi ko ‘to pinlano, Levi,” mahina niyang sagot. “Pero kailangan kong piliin ang sarili ko. Pagod na akong umasa. Pagod na akong maging pangalawa sa trabaho mo, sa mundo mo. Hindi ko kayang maging ina habang ako mismo’y hindi buo.” Gumuho ako. Literal. Napayuko ako habang yakap ko si Princess, habang nararamdaman ko ang init ng iyak niya sa dibdib ko. Halik ako nang halik sa noo niya, para bang kaya kong takpan ng pagmamahal ang kawalan ng ina niya. “Anak mo ‘to, Elise. Anak natin…” pabulong kong daing. “Kung hindi mo na ako kayang mahalin… kahit siya na lang. Kahit siya. ‘Wag mong iwan ang anak mo…” Pero wala. Ni hindi siya lumapit. Ni hindi siya tumingin. Tumalikod siya, dala ang katahimikang mas malakas pa sa kahit anong sigaw ng pagtanggi. "Ayoko na" mahina niyang sabi at hinila ang maleta palabas ng mansion.
