El Filibusterismo Kabanata 4

En el noveno año de amar con Adrián Martínez, su padre falleció. La primera línea del testamento establecía que Adrián Martínez y Luna Fernández debían tener un hijo. Y el día en que el niño cumpliera un mes, sería también el día en que él heredaría la fortuna de su padre. Esto fue cuando los descubrí en nuestra cama, él mismo me lo explicó. Aquella noche, mientras encendía su cigarrillo después del acto, murmuró en voz baja: —Susana, espera un poco más. Cuando reciba la herencia, me casaré contigo. Desde entonces, cada vez que Adrián iba a reunirse con Luna en nuestra casa, colgaba una campanilla en la puerta. Desde la muerte de su padre hasta hoy, esa campanilla ha sonado noventa y nueve veces.

Mi novio fue diagnosticado con cáncer y necesitaba un trasplante de hígado. Cuando supe que yo era compatible, no dudé ni un segundo en aceptar la operación. Me extirparon dos tercios del hígado. El dolor era insoportable, pero en cuanto recuperé la conciencia, corrí a ver cómo estaba él. Frente a la puerta, escuché su conversación con un amigo. —Eres un genio, Javier. Nadie más podría idear una forma de venganza tan cabrona. Javier Morales soltó una risa burlona. —Si no fuera porque no quería armar tanto escándalo, hasta le habría quitado un riñón solo por diversión. —Por su culpa, Elena fracasó en el examen de ingreso a la universidad y tuvo que irse al extranjero. En un mes regresará, y en ese momento me despediré de Lucía para siempre.

The cursed Alpha has claimed five lives. I was never meant to survive him—until a witch gave me a Redemption Code and a warning: I could cheat death only three times. Now I’m trapped in Kade’s world—a blindfolded Alpha feared by all, born from a forbidden union and cursed to destroy everything he touches. But every time I overcome the fear he plants in me, a black rose petal tattoo blooms on my skin—protecting me from the very curse meant to consume me. He says I’m different. That I might be the one to break his curse. That the tattoos mean I’m becoming immune. But I’m not here to save him. I’m here to survive him. And if the only way out of this bond is to pretend… then I’ll play along—until I uncover the truth behind his curse, his prophecy, and the reason he needs me alive. Even if a part of me is starting to wonder… what if the real curse is falling for him?

I'm just a biker princess held in the clutch of a rogue alpha who forces me to take his son as my mate. On the night of the sacred choosing, I was forced to stand before ten suitors under the eyes of the Alpha—the same monster who murdered my father and claimed my mother. His son, Lucious, marked my body with bruises, hoping fear would force me to pick him. But no flame ignited. Not for any of them. When I refused to choose, the Alpha drew blood. So I ran—leaving behind a mother I couldn’t save, a pack built on fear, and a future I didn’t choose. Now, in a place I never imagined, I found him. The one fate chose for me. He’s fierce. Beautiful. Dangerous. And he’s a hunter—sworn to kill wolves like me. So why does my soul still burn for him?
