Nagising si Atasha sa hindi pamilyar na kwarto. Her head was spinning and her body was sore down there tanda ng isang gabing pakikipagniig sa isang estranghero kapalit ng salapi na ibabayad sa kanya na kukunin naman ng walang puso niyang ina ngunit laking gulat niya ng mag krus ulit ang landas nila sa mismong kasal ng nanay niya. Wala siyang ka-alam-alam na ang customer niya kagabi sa ginanap na stag party na pinag raketan niya ay ang lalaking pakakasalan ngayon ng nanay niya na walang iba kundi si Adonis Salcedo. Sa araw ng kasal ng mga ito ay nagkubli si Atasha sa hardin ng mga Salcedo dahil sa labis na lungkot at pagkabalisa ngunit hinanap siya ni Adonis at muling ipinaalala sa kanya ang isang mainit na gabing pinagsaluhan nila. “Wag kang mag-alala. Hindi ko sasabihin kay mommy ang nangyari sa atin, kaya mas mabuti pang kalimutan mo na,” “Kalimutan? Paano ko magagawang kalimutan ang gabing iyon, kung ibinigay mo sa akin ang lahat, Atasha? Ni-hindi ako halos makatulog kakaisip sayo. Gusto kong maulit ulit iyon. Ibigay mo ulit sa akin ang kasalanan ko,”

[Mature Content] Caitlin Rowell, a young, orphaned girl who was adopted by a devious woman, is thrown into a life of difficulties after a traumatic encounter with a handsome, well-off young man who delights in having his way with women, and she becomes pregnant with his child. Her guardian throws her out of the house, leaving her with no choice but to fend for herself. She relocates to a distant city with the help of a wealthy obstetrician who is obliged to support her. In the new city, she gets a cleaning job at a major private corporation after having her child, and the CEO turns out to be her worst nightmare.

On the night of her birthday, Clara receives a crescent pendant and overhears a secret that splits her life in two. Hours later her mother is taken, Ronan—the rogue who collects the broken—calls from the trees, and Jasper drags her behind the walls of the Holdfast. Inside, Clara survives the Trial of Teeth and tastes the edge of the wolf living under her skin—becoming the problem the pack cannot agree on. Vivian sees a survivor; Jason sees a threat; the forest keeps blinking ash eyes while human cameras bloom among the pines. As a fated pull to Jasper presses closer and Vivian’s missing sister hints at what Ronan does to the taken, Clara must decide what to be: weapon, heir, or something the old laws have no word for. When betrayal leaks through the ranks and the border turns into a stage, mercy may prove sharper than fang—and the story others try to name for her is the one she’ll have to rewrite in blood and moonlight. A dark, romantic werewolf fantasy about power that refuses to be inherited, love that asks for consent, and a girl choosing the kind of Alpha she will become.

Katherine De’Cheney had a life she felt was perfect. She had a job she loved working at the New York Museum as a Conservator. She was engaged to the love of her life. One day she comes home early to find him tangled in their bed sheets with his paralegal. Shattered and broken, she crumbles in hopelessness. In her grieving state she passes out. Opening her eyes she feels transported into another realm. Standing in front of her is her grandmother’s house which stands in front of a looming property that she dare not go near. The “LeFleur” mansion. A place that haunts her dreams. Something continues to call her spirit like a piece of her is locked inside waiting to reclaim her. Suddenly from behind, a Shadow of a man, shrouded in night. He reaches for her hand beckoning her to come. She jerks back and tries to run. “You cannot continue resisting me my dove” he says in silky voice with an old German accent. “Come home to me”. She feels her body relishing in his voice, his touch, and a hidden desire about him she does not know. The more she tries to pull away, the more she feels a pull towards him. Something kept nagging her. ‘What was drawing her back there?’ ‘Who was the sinister looking man she saw in the window as a child before the wolves came from nowhere to attack her. She shuddered, trying not to remember. What darkness was connected to that decaying old house? Why did she feel like something is calling her to return?

Casei-me com o mesmo homem sete vezes, e ele se divorciou de mim sete vezes — sempre pela mesma mulher, só para poder passar as férias com seu primeiro amor como um homem livre e também para poupá-la das fofocas do mundo. Na primeira vez, cortei meus pulsos num ato desesperado para fazê-lo ficar; uma ambulância me levou às pressas ao hospital, mas ele nunca apareceu para me ver. Na segunda vez, rebaixei-me para me candidatar a um cargo de assistente em sua empresa, apenas para poder vê-lo novamente, mesmo que de longe. Na sexta vez, já havia aprendido a empacotar minhas coisas em silêncio e a sair sozinha da casa que um dia foi nossa. Minhas crises de histeria, minhas concessões repetidas, minha resignação entorpecida — tudo o que recebi em troca foram seus casamentos pontuais, sempre seguidos pelos mesmos truques e pelas mesmas mentiras. Até agora: ao saber que seu primeiro amor estava prestes a voltar ao país, entreguei pessoalmente os papéis do divórcio em suas mãos. Como sempre, ele marcou a data do próximo casamento, sem imaginar que, desta vez, eu partiria para nunca mais voltar.

Durante mi recuperación después del parto, mi esposo, Rubén Gutiérrez, llegó a la casa tambaleándose, borracho perdido. Venía con varios que lo sostenían... y con una mujer. Terminó vomitando por toda la sala, y yo, sin decir una sola palabra, me quedé a su lado cuidándolo toda la noche. Jamás imaginé que, al amanecer, lo primero que saliera de su boca fuera: —Está embarazada. Mejor nos divorciamos. No lloré, no grité. Solo asentí con calma. En otra vida, recuerdo haber corrido desesperada por la calle, con mi hija en brazos. Esa mujer pronto se ganó la fama de "fácil" en el pueblo, y hasta la echaron de su casa. Acorralada, terminó lanzándose al río. Rubén, por sus escándalos, perdió el trabajo. Y aun así, nunca me culpó de nada. Cuando nuestra hija cumplió un mes, Rubén encendió una hoguera enorme en el jardín... y nos quemó vivos: a mí, a la niña y a mis padres. Antes de que todo se apagara, alcancé a ver su cara desfigurada por el odio. —¡Bájense al infierno! —gritó—. Váyanse a acompañar a Mariana. Y entonces, al abrir otra vez los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en el mismo instante exacto en que me dijo que quería divorciarse.

I've accidentally worn a dress belonging to my deceased older sister, Gwendolyn Stokes, to a family banquet. Because of that, my husband, Thomas Torres, goes quiet with fury. He then sentences me to a punishment of kneeling in the snow for three long hours. The blizzard chills me to the bone. My son, Robin Torres, makes fun of me while hurling snowballs at me. "No matter how much you dress up, you'll always be a phony! Don't think you can go around replacing my mommy just because you've changed into her dress!" As I stare at Robin's face, which bears some resemblance with mine, I feel my heart breaking. He has no idea that I'm his actual mother. On the year Gwendolyn passed away, Thomas, who drank himself into a stupor, mistook me for her. That night, he kept moaning Gwendolyn's name and whispering sweet nothings to me. That was how I got pregnant with Robin. Thomas has forbidden me from telling anyone the truth. On the other hand, I can't bear to leave my own child alone. So, I beg Thomas repeatedly to let me stay in the Torres residence. During my stay here, Thomas gives me the cold shoulder all the time. Only when he needs to vent his desire does he seek me out. What I didn't expect is that Robin hates my guts as well. Not only does he keep pulling pranks on me from time to time, but he also curses at me. "Shameless women like you have no right to stay in my home! Once I grow up, I'll definitely kick you out!" Now, I can finally respond to him. "Oh, I don't have to wait for you to grow up at all." Tomorrow, I'll pack my things and leave. I no longer want to remain as someone else's replacement and continue living a life of humiliation. This time, I'm going to pursue a life of my own.

No dia do meu casamento, a melhor amiga de infância do meu noivo apareceu na cerimônia usando um vestido de noiva idêntico ao meu, feito sob medida. Eles estavam juntos na entrada, recebendo os convidados como se fossem os donos da festa. Sorri e comentei com leveza: — Vocês realmente nasceram um para o outro. Ela saiu às pressas, visivelmente envergonhada e furiosa. Já ele, diante de todos, me acusou de ser mesquinha e dramática. No fim da festa, ele foi com ela para o destino que tínhamos reservado para a nossa lua de mel. Não fiz escândalo. Apenas peguei o telefone e liguei para o advogado.
