Dried Blood Under Skin

Evelyn found herself seeking asylum under his umbrella after her Pack was destroyed by werewolf hunters, a human organization on a mission to eradicate all werewolves. All she wanted was a safe place to stay and Silvermoon Pack proved to be the perfect place as it was the strongest Pack in the region with a fearless Alpha who agreed to take her under his protection. However, fate had other things in plan for Evelyn as she discovered she was this fearless Alpha’s fated mate. He swore to himself never to love a woman and never to have a Luna by his side. To him, loving a woman was a weakness and as the fearless and powerful Alpha that he is, he doesn't want to give room for weakness. He's the most revered Alpha in his region and he saw women as betrayals who are worth nothing more than objects of pleasure! As if the Moon Goddess was on his side, there was no mate fated to him — until she arrived. Will he accept her as his mate or will he reject her? Will she be able to change his view on how he sees women? What other adversaries stand in their way?

Isang gabing pagkakamali, isang panghabambuhay na iskandalo. Si Rosita Alonzo, isang matapang at masipag na dalaga, ay pumasok bilang katulong sa mansyon ng mga Zaviere sa pag-asang matatakasan ang kahirapan. Ngunit sa isang gabing nilunod ng alak ang kanyang katinuan, isang maling pinto ang kanyang nabuksan . . . isang maling kama ang kanyang nahigaan. Ang silid na iyon ay pagmamay-ari ni Alexander Zaviere, ang makapangyarihang Mayor ng lungsod. Si Alexander ay ang perpektong lider sa mata ng publiko, gwapo, matalino, at kagalang-galang. Ngunit sa likod ng mga pader ng kanyang mansyon, siya ay isang lalaking nilalamon ng pait at pangungulila matapos ang pagkamatay ng kanyang asawa. Ang agwat ng kanilang edad na dalawampung taon at ang malaking pagkakaiba ng kanilang katayuan sa buhay ay dapat sapat na upang hindi sila magtagpo, ngunit ang init ng gabing iyon ay nag-iwan ng apoy na hindi na nila kayang apulahin. Sa bawat palitan ng titig at bawat pagkakataong magkalapit sa loob ng mansyon, unti-unting nahuhulog ang loob ni Alexander sa dalagang muling nagparamdam sa kanya na siya ay buhay. Ngunit ang kanilang bawal na ugnayan ay mitsa ng isang malaking pagsabog. Nang kumalat ang isang iskandalosong larawan ng Mayor kasama ang kanyang batang katulong, nanganib ang kanyang karera at ang dangal ni Rosita. Upang protektahan ang kanyang titulo at ang kaayusan ng lungsod, pinili ni Alexander ang pinakamasakit na paraan, ang itaboy si Rosita palayo sa kanyang mundo. Ngunit sa pag-alis ng babaeng nagpatibok muli ng kanyang puso, ramdam ni Alexander na ang kapangyarihan ay walang silbi kung ang puso niya ay muling magiging bilanggo ng lungkot. Handa ba niyang isuko ang kanyang korona at posisyon para bawiin ang babaeng itinuring niyang isang "pagkakamali"? O hahayaan na lamang niyang maging isang mapait na alaala ang pag-ibig na nagligtas sa kanya mula sa dilim?

I'm seven months pregnant when my husband's close female friend, Suzy Ruffalo, invited us to a beach party. The sun is blazing, so I stay tucked under a parasol, quietly scrolling through my phone. Suddenly, Suzy wanders over and swings herself onto my husband's lap. "Hurry up and put the sunscreen on me! Don't just put it on my chest this time. I don't want to wake up tomorrow with my boobs two shades lighter." For a moment, I wonder if I've heard her wrong. My husband, Ted Cohen, casually picks up the sunscreen and starts rubbing it on her chest without hesitation. "Your boobs are tiny to begin with. I'm helping you to make it fairer so that it looks bigger." Suzy slaps his shoulder in annoyance. "How's that your business? You said my bikini area was darker the previous time." The rest of the guys started whistling. When Ted rubs the sunscreen just below her navel, he subconsciously glances at me. However, Suzy grabs his hand and shoves it lower. "Don't worry, Nina. He's touched this area so many times he's immune by now. It's just sunscreen. There's no need to get jealous over this, yeah?" I snort and look away to book a time for the divorce agreement. I will not be jealous, but they're both going to be on the receiving end of my slaps.

"Tell me you don’t feel the same way," Xavier murmured, his dark eyes locked on mine. "Tell me you don’t feel your heart racing every time you see me. Tell me you don’t think about me for hours, imagining things… imagining me touching you. Tell me you don’t feel jealous when you see me with another girl who isn’t you." He stepped closer, his lips curling into that infuriating smirk. "Tell me, Princess," he whispered. My throat went dry. My words stuttered. "I… I don’t feel anything for you," I barely managed. "You're such a terrible liar," he said, his grin darkening. ••• Everything changed the night my father died.

On the fourth day after our son died, I decided to end my military marriage. Before that, I spent three days taking care of what remained of him. On the first day, I tricked my wife into signing the cremation papers. On the second day, I went to my son's school and collected the textbooks he never had the chance to use. On the third day, I prepared a table full of his favorite dishes and begged my wife to come home so we could celebrate his birthday one last time. She agreed. Then she turned around, claimed she had a mission, and spent the entire night setting off fireworks with her childhood sweetheart. That night, I sat beside my son's memorial photo and ate alone. The next day, she came home looking guilty and handed me a brand new backpack. She said it was a gift for our son to use at school. She did not know that our child would never live to see his first day of school.
