Dear J

Tras la gran guerra entre humanos, vampiros, hombres lobo y elfos, se hizo un acuerdo que estipula que una descendencia híbrida sería la designada a gobernar el mundo. Cada siglo, las alianzas matrimoniales entre humanos y esos tres clanes decidían quién sería el próximo gobernante. Quien diera a luz al primer hijo híbrido reclamaría el poder para su linaje. En mi vida anterior, elegí casarme con Jax, el hijo mayor de la manada de hombres lobo, conocido por su férrea lealtad. Di a luz a nuestro hijo híbrido, un cachorro de pelaje blanco al que llamamos Zeal. Nuestro hijo se convirtió en el próximo gobernante mundial, y Jax obtuvo un poder inmenso. Mi hermana había codiciado la belleza de los elfos y se había casado con alguien de su clan. Pero sucedió que el príncipe elfo se acostó con todas las hembras del bosque. Finalmente, mi hermana contrajo una enfermedad que la dejó estéril. Celosa y amargada, provocó un incendio que nos quemó vivos a mí y a mi cachorro. Y entonces, volví a abrir los ojos. Estaba de vuelta en el día de las alianzas raciales. Sin embargo, mi hermana ya se había acostado con Jax primero. Sabía que ella también había renacido. Sin embargo, lo que ella no sabía era que Jax se comportaba brutalmente salvaje con sus compañeras, habiendo destrozado a innumerables lobas en su cama durante su periodo de celo. Y lo que tampoco nadie se esperaba era que, en esta nueva vida, yo eligiera a mi prometido en el más infame de los clanes. Elegí desposar a nada más y nada menos que el Lord del clan de los vampiros.

The boy who made my life hell just became my stepbrother, and now we’re sharing a mansion, a last name, and a hatred so intense it might just burn us both alive. I’m Summer Winters, the scholarship girl who never wanted Crew Ashford’s attention. But after I publicly humiliated Blackwood Prep’s golden hockey captain, he’s made destroying me his personal mission. With the months of psychological warfare, I've learned to survive his cruelty. Then my mother marries his father. Now I’m living under his roof, and Crew’s rage at my presence is suffocating. Behind closed doors, his bullying intensifies, but so does something darker. Something that looks dangerously like obsession. Just when I think it can’t get worse, I meet Gray, Crew’s quiet, artistic brother who sees me in ways that terrify and comfort me in equal measure. And my childhood best friend Tyler? He’s caught between loyalty to me and forces I don’t understand yet. Three boys. Three types of devastation. And secrets buried so deep they’ll destroy us all when they surface. When everything explodes at the championship game, I’ll have to decide: which kind of destruction am I willing to survive? This is a dark reverse harem hockey romance where the line between hate and want is razor-thin, and choosing yourself might be the most dangerous choice of all.

“You think I want this?” she hisses. “You think I asked for this bond? I hate you. I hate everything about you. You killed my husband. You took everything from me!” “Then kill me,” I growl, my voice barely more than a whisper. “If you hate me so much, kill me and end this.” She shakes her head, her eyes narrowing. “I’m not giving you the easy way out. Not until I know what rejecting this bond will do to me and my pack. Not until I know what we’re dealing with. Until then, I invoke The Gallows Law.” *** Luna Katya's world is shattered when her husband, Alpha Andrei, is killed by the ruthless Rogue Alpha Ruslan. Grieving and pregnant, Katya is ready to see the man responsible for her loss executed. But when Ruslan is brought before her, the mate bond snaps into place, throwing her life into chaos. Shocked and horrified, Katya calls for a stay of execution, invoking an old law known as The Gallows Law, which forbids the execution of a fated mate. Now, Katya must not only face the anger of her pack, who are disgusted by her sudden connection to the man they all hate, but a mate who hates her and who she hates in equal measure. Caught in a web of anger and attraction, Katya must decide whether to reject the bond and risk its unknown consequences, or keep the Rogue alive long enough to figure out what the Goddess has cursed her with. But the clock is ticking, and the pack won’t wait forever for justice.

– Sra. Sterling, a senhora tem certeza de que está pronta para encerrar este casamento de vinte anos e abrir mão da custódia? – Sim. Dê entrada. Acabou. – Respondi calmamente ao telefone enquanto esfregava uma mancha teimosa de gordura na ilha de granito. Durante vinte anos, eu dediquei tudo de mim a essa família. Administrei a casa, cuidei da educação das crianças e permaneci ao lado do meu marido, apoiando sua ascensão no sindicato sem jamais reclamar. Mas meu marido, Alexander, levou sua jovem irmã adotiva, Chloe, para a entrevista, dizendo: – O sucesso que tenho hoje é todo graças à minha irmã adotiva. Até meus próprios filhos passaram a me menosprezar, chamando-me de dona de casa comum e grosseira. Eles formaram uma aliança com a "tia" sempre presente – a mulher que achava ser a verdadeira senhora da casa. Assinei os papéis do divórcio e fui embora, deixando que eles se tornassem a "família perfeita" que tanto sonhavam. Mas foi então que a família entrou em pânico…

「イヴリン・スターリングさん、二十年の結婚生活を終わらせて、子供の親権も放棄する覚悟はできていますか？」 「はい。手続きを進めてください。もう終わりにします」 私は電話越しに冷静に答えながら、キッチンカウンターの頑固な油汚れをこすっていた。 二十年間、私はこの家族に全てを捧げてきた。 家を管理し、子供たちの教育を担い、夫の出世を陰から支えてきた。文句の一つも言わずに。 だが夫のアレクサンダー・スターリングは、インタビューに義理の妹のクロエを連れて行き、以下のように言った。 「今日の成功は全て彼女のおかげです」 実の子供たちまで私を見下し、「ダサい主婦」と呼ぶ。彼らは事あるごとに、大好きな「クロエ叔母さん」の肩を持つ。その女は今や家の中で十分すぎるほど存在感を示し、まるで自分こそが本当の女主人だと言わんばかりだった。 だから私は離婚協議書にサインして去った。彼らが望む「完璧な家族」になればいい。 だがその後、家族はパニックに陥った……

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.

Terrible rumours surround Kai and his pack of bloodthirsty wolves, but as Caterina gets to know her mate better and realises that he is not the monster he is made out to be.

Staring at temptation for so long will only make you crave it more, this is something both Nikolai and Dimitri will find out soon enough.

—Señora Sterling, ¿está segura de que quiere terminar con este matrimonio de veinte años y renunciar a la custodia? —Sí. Inicie el trámite. Ya tuve suficiente —respondí con calma por teléfono mientras tallaba una mancha de grasa difícil en la isla de granito. Durante veinte años, me entregué a esta familia. Me hice cargo de las casas, de la educación de los niños y me mantuve al lado de mi esposo, apoyando su ascenso en el sindicato sin quejarme nunca. Pero mi esposo, Alexander, llevó a Chloe, su joven hermana adoptiva, a la entrevista y dijo: —Todo mi éxito se lo debo a mi hermana. Incluso mis propios hijos me menospreciaban; decían que yo era una simple ama de casa, alguien corriente. Se habían aliado con su eterna “tía”, esa mujer que parecía creerse la verdadera señora de la casa. Firmé los papeles del divorcio y me fui, dejándolos para que se convirtieran en la “familia perfecta” que tanto querían. Pero fue entonces cuando todos entraron en pánico…
