Good Rude Comebacks

On her twenty-first birthday, Tessa thought she would step into her future as Luna, until she walked in on her mate, Alpha heir Jasper, in the arms of her own half-sister. Humiliated and betrayed, she rejects him on the spot. But instead of falling apart, fate hands her something more dangerous, an unexpected bond with Alaric, the ruthless Alpha King and Jasper's greatest rival. Now, as Jasper regrets the mate he threw away, Tessa must choose: return to the man who betrayed her, or embrace the one man Jasper fears and never turn back.

I was the princess sent over by the Werewolf Kingdom for an arranged marriage. I was also meant to be the blood bag of Count Dracula. In my past life, I helped him rule the Bloodsucking Empire. I willingly allowed him to drain my werewolf blood and even risked a dangerous pregnancy by having a baby of mixed bloodline. However, all Dracula did was watch his frail childhood crush dig out the baby from my body to save her life. It was only before I died that I realized he had never loved me. All I was to him was a mobile blood bank. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the Blood Moon Party when I was five months pregnant. Dracula raised the knife with silver blade in his hand. "Be good. All I need is some blood to save Anna." This time, I did not fight back as I did in my previous life. Dracula mistook it for obedience. He had no idea that the Werewolf Princess who had once loved him with her life had become mates with the highly aggressive Alpha King of the Werewolf Kingdom.

"Some GoodNovel writers and readers are wondering what it would be like for two writers on the platform to fall in love. This is actually funny, some agreed it was possible, others believed it wasn't possible. But what if it actually happens between the both of us." ****** Olivia is a nerd who gets bullied at school by the captain of the football team, his squads and her classmates. Writing has always been her passion, things changed for her when she got an offer for her books by a writing platform. What happens when she suddenly catches the attention of the most popular writer on the platform's group chat on Face-book? What happens when she is being asked to tutor her bully?

A car accident left my mother-in-law bleeding and desperate for help, but her plea was heartlessly rejected by her own daughter. Even on her deathbed, my mother-in-law's only wish was to see her one last time. However, she was busy staying by her first love's side, euthanizing his dog. "You better stay as far away from me as possible! My mom's perfectly fine!" she shouted before hanging up on me, only to spend the night tangled with her first love in a hotel room. It was not until after the cremation ceremony that she returned—carrying a birthday cake. What greeted her was not a celebration but her mother's funeral. She cried, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom! You haven't even celebrated my birthday yet! Don't leave me!" I stared at her and pulled the divorce papers from my bag. How fitting. This time, I was leaving too.

Everyone knows that I've been pursuing Ciara Hudson for several years now. For her sake, I reject a marriage alliance with the Langstons and invest ten billion dollars into saving the Hudsons from the brink of collapse. But on the night before our wedding, while attempting to appease her adopted brother, Carl Hudson, Ciara allows him to take her to bed, right in our marital home. After their steamy, sordid night together, Carl emerges from the bedroom dressed in my bathrobe, showing off the bite marks on his chest. Ciara simply brushes it off with a smile, saying that Carl was merely throwing a tantrum and that I shouldn't take it to heart. She even uses the marriage to threaten me, demanding that I give Carl a house and some of my company's shares to ensure he never wants for anything in life. She even says she'll make sure my family's lineage ends with me, all for Carl's sake. The disgruntled Carl runs off with my car and even crashes into me on purpose. Even as I slump on the ground, covered in injuries, Ciara runs straight to Carl, who has nothing more than a few scratches, without sparing me so much as a glance. As I lie on the hospital bed, my head finally clears. It occurs to me that my sacrifices have moved no one but myself, and how pointless it'll be to persist in them. I call up Serena Langston, my business rival, and tell her I'll go through with the proposed marriage alliance between our families. Since Ciara has betrayed me, I don't want her anymore.

Mit zwanzig legte mir der steinreiche Kriegskamerad meines Großvaters die Fotos aller seiner Enkel vor. „Such dir einen aus“, sagte er. „Einen Mann für dich.“ Ohne eine Sekunde zu zögern zeigte ich auf den sechsten: Dieter Weber. Die Anwesenden waren schockiert. Schließlich wusste jeder, dass ich immer nur den dritten Weber-Enkel, Egon, wollte. In meinem vorherigen Leben hatte ich meinen Willen bekommen: Ich heiratete Egon Weber. Und dank dieser Heirat erbte er den Großteil des Familienvermögens. Doch nach der Hochzeit ging er eine Affäre mit meiner jüngeren Schwester ein. Meine Eltern waren außer sich vor Wut und schickten meine Schwester zum Studium ins Ausland. Doch Egon war überzeugt, ich hätte sie auseinandergebracht. Von da an hasste er mich aus tiefster Seele. Von da an war er ständig von Frauen umgeben, die meiner Schwester ähnlich sahen. Jede Einzelne. Ich verfiel in eine schwere Depression. Anstatt mir zu helfen, wurden meine Medikamente gegen ein langsames Gift ausgetauscht – von ihm. Am Ende starb ich, mit seinem ungeborenen Kind im Leib. Nun, da ich noch einmal leben durfte, würde ich ihnen den Weg freimachen. Doch was ich nicht ahnte: Auch Egon Weber war zurückgekehrt!

Mein Bruder ist der Alpha des Mondscheinrudels, und ich hätte die glücklichste kleine Wölfin im Rudel sein sollen. Aber Selene, die Schicksalsgefährtin meines Bruders, warf mir vor, sie zu schikanieren. In einem Wutanfall schickte mich mein Bruder – meine letzte verbliebene Familie – ins Rehabilitationszentrum unseres Rudels. Dies war ein Ort für minderjährige Straftäter und straffällige Wölfe. Zwei Jahre lang erlitt ich dort Misshandlungen, bis ich meine Verwandlungsfähigkeit endgültig verlor und zu der fügsamen Schwester wurde, die er wollte. Doch als er herausfand, dass ich meine Wölfin verloren und mich in eine wahre Omega verwandelt hatte, verlor er den Verstand. „Skye, bitte, nenn mich noch ein einziges Mal Bruder!“

Als meine Eltern meine Gedankenverbindung zum zwanzigsten Mal ignorierten, ging ich zum Werwolfsrat und hielt den Bericht über Silberstaubkorrosion fest in der Hand. „Hallo. Ich möchte meine Rudelidentität sofort aufgeben.“ Zehn Minuten später stürmten meine Eltern herein und zerrten meine adoptierte kleine Schwester Elsa mit sich. Ihre Gesichter waren von Panik gezeichnet. Die Tür flog mit einem lauten Knall auf, und mein Beta-Vater stürmte wie ein Unwetter herein. Er fletschte die Zähne und krümmte die Krallen. „Du bist nichts weiter als eine verzogene Göre, die nur nach Aufmerksamkeit giert! Hör mit diesem erbärmlichen Theater auf. Du bist eine Schande für den Namen eines Betas!“ Meine Mutter, die forensische Spezialistin des Rudels, riss mir sofort den Bericht aus der Hand. Nach einem kurzen Blick verzog sie das Gesicht verächtlich. „Du hast diesen Bericht gefälscht, nur um unsere Aufmerksamkeit zu erlangen? Du lügst schon, seit du ein Welpe warst.“ Elsa klammerte sich an beide, mit tränenerfüllten Augen schluchzte sie: „Es tut mir leid, Jenifer. Ich trage die Schuld, weil ich das Verwandlungsritual durchgeführt habe. Aber bitte ... belüge unsere Eltern nicht, nur um ihnen Schuldgefühle zu machen!“ Noch immer strömte Blut aus meiner Nase, doch ich wischte es gelassen ab und richtete mich erneut aufrecht vor den Werwolfsratsmitgliedern auf. „Ich habe schon lange keine echte Familie mehr. Bitte – entfernt alle meine persönlichen Akten aus dem Rudel. Ich will nur, dass meine Beerdigung, in drei Tagen angesetzt, nicht verschoben wird.“

Blurb She wanted love. She wanted freedom. But what she got instead was heartbreak in its cruelest form. This is Alessia Marino’s story. Born into a ruthless mafia family, Alessia was suffocating under their rules and expectations. All she ever wanted was a life that was hers—to love freely, to breathe without fear. So she ran. She changed her name to Sienna Johnson, determined to start over and live like a normal woman. And for a while, she thought she’d found it all. A devoted husband, Gabriel. A sweet four-year-old daughter they’d adopted. And a best friend, Sylvia, who felt like the sister she never had. But paradise shattered in an instant. The truth hit her like a knife to the chest—Sylvia and Gabriel had been lovers all along, and the little girl she adored wasn’t adopted at all… she was theirs. Broken. Betrayed. Shattered beyond repair. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. When Desmond Blackwell, Gabriel’s powerful rival, offers her a chance at revenge, Alessia takes it without hesitation. Together, they plot to destroy the man who destroyed her. But the deeper she gets, the harder it becomes to ignore the pull she feels toward Desmond—dark, magnetic, and dangerous. And when the truth about who Desmond really is begins to unravel, Alessia realizes she might be walking straight into a trap… one that could cost her not just her heart, but her life.
