I've Got No Strings To Hold Me Down

My husband, Jacob Morris, wrongly believed that I had pushed the woman he loved down the stairs. So, he locked me in the basement to make me reflect on my actions. He hired people to punish me, trying to break my spirit. I suffered inhumane torture. My tendons were cut, and my face was disfigured. Four years later, he finally remembered me and let me out. But by then, I was too broken to love him anymore.

The night before our wedding, Desmond Arlington got jumped out of nowhere. By the time I made it to the hospital, he stared at me like I was a total stranger. Doctor said it was memory loss—some brain rattle from the hit. Temporary, supposedly. So I went full nostalgia tour, dragging him back to all our spots, hoping something would click. Then one day at the hospital, I caught him running his mouth with his buddy. "Rhea's trying so hard. Doesn't that do anything for you?" "Do what? I'm over it. Same spots, same girl. The new ones are way more fun." "So why marry her? Just call it off and live your life." He snapped, "Shut up. I LOVE Rhea. I'd never bail on the wedding. I'm just... pushing it back a bit." I looked down at the test results—zero issues. Everything normal. And that's when it hit me: you can't help a faker.

Si Seraphina Velarde—isang masipag, maganda, at palaban sa buhay ay isang babaeng nahulog sa bawal na pag-ibig. Isa siyang kabit—isang relasyong lihim, isang pagmamahalang itinatago. Sa kabila ng init at atensyong natatanggap niya, nananatiling may kulang… sapagkat hanggang kailan siya magiging pangalawa? Hanggang kailan siya mamahalin sa dilim? Dahil kahit ilang ulit pa siyang angkinin sa mga gabing punong-puno ng pagnanasa, may isang alaala pa rin siyang hindi matakasan, isang gabing nangyari walong buwan na ang nakalipas. Isang one-night stand na punong-puno ng damdamin, init, at koneksyon. Hindi niya matandaan ang mukha ng lalaki, pero hindi niya malilimutan ang haplos. Ang gabing iyon ang nagbukas sa kanya sa tunay na sarap—ang klase ng sensasyong hindi niya muling naranasan. At ang lalaking iyon ay si Pierce Damien Saveedra—isang makapangyarihan, misteryoso, at hindi niya inaakalang muling papasok sa buhay niya. Sa bawat pagtatama ng kanilang mga mata, sa bawat paglapit, dama ni Seraphina na siya ang lalaking iyon—ang unang dumampi sa kanya, ang lalaking hindi lang nagpagising sa kanyang katawan kundi sa kanyang pagkatao. Si Pierce ang lalaking nagparamdam sa kanya ng pagmamahal na hindi palihim. Sa mga titig at haplos niya, ramdam ni Seraphina na hindi siya kailanman magiging pangalawa. Naramdaman nyang karapat-dapat din siyang mahalin ng buo, walang kahati, at walang limitasyon. Sa piling ni Pierce, unti-unti niyang natutuklasan kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng pagmamahal na totoo—yung hindi kailangang itago, hindi kailangang ipaglaban sa dilim… kundi isang pagmamahal na malaya, malinaw, at buong-buo.

On the day of my marking ceremony, I don't receive flowers or a mate's embrace. Instead, I receive news that my boyfriend, Liam Hagerty, was caught in a snowstorm and his body was never found. I lose the man I love, and the pup in my belly loses its father. The grief nearly destroys me, but everyone keeps saying, "Aurora, stay strong—at least for the pup." On the day of the funeral, Liam's twin brother, Jasper Hagerty, returns from the border patrol with his mate. Every time I see Jasper's face—the exact same face as Liam's—my heart aches all over again. Then one night, I accidentally overhear a conversation between my mother-in-law—the old Luna—and Jasper. "Liam, you have to go through with this. Your brother died saving you, and your sister-in-law's been through so much. Let her give birth and have something to rely on. Then, you can host your marking ceremony with Aurora." Silence follows. Then "Jasper" speaks. "But what about Aurora? She's carrying my pup..." His mother sighs. "Aurora is strong and considerate. She'll understand." Jasper says in resignation, "Alright, Mom. I'll do as you say." That's when I realize Liam never died. The man I thought was my brother-in-law, Jasper, is just Liam putting on an act. Heartbroken beyond words, I call my older brother, Axel Maddox. "Axel, I want to come home. Liam is already dead, so there's no reason for me to stay here anymore."

On the day we were supposed to register our marriage, my boyfriend said he was busy and bailed on me again. When I got home, however, I found his marriage certificate with his assistant on my desk—the registration date was today. I smiled, placed the certificate on my desk, and decisively ended things with him. The next moment, his call came through. His tone was impatient as he grumbled, "Penny, what's with the drama? You're an adult; stop playing these games." Just as I was about to respond, I heard his assistant sobbing on the other end. "Eric, did Penny misunderstand us? You should go home; I'll be fine by myself." "Don't worry about her," he said soothingly. "She's always pulling this nonsense—it's exhausting. Right now, you're what matters most." Hearing his reassuring words to her, I hung up and completely gave up on him.
