Inflatable St Bernard Christmas

A doomsday blizzard hit just before Christmas. The zombie virus exploded. Our fortress was a top-tier ski resort. Now, it was about to fall. My husband, Ethan, was a former Navy SEAL. Our head of security. He swore his defense system was foolproof. The blizzard knocked out the power. But he’d sent all the backup generator fuel to the summit. Just to light up a Christmas tree for Chloe. He even had a few guards up there with them, throwing a party. In my last life, I fought him. I herded everyone into the last bunker. But Chloe whined. A crowded Christmas was boring, she said. She stormed out of the safe room and ran right into the jaws of the horde. Ethan carved a path through the horde to secure the walls. Then he sat in silence, cradling Chloe’s bones. He pretended he wanted to start over with me. He let me get pregnant with his child. The day I gave birth, he knocked me unconscious and dumped me into a nearby zombie nest. He always rescued me just before I died. He’d inject me with a serum that kept me from turning. Nineteen times, he threw me to the zombies. I died in agony as they tore the flesh from my bones. "If you hadn't sabotaged my defenses," he’d hissed, "if you hadn't crashed our party and led the horde right to us, Chloe would still be alive!" I opened my eyes. I was back. Christmas Eve.

Relationship and love was far away from her agenda after her rough divorce but a second chance came knocking on a winter morning in the guise of the hot, billionaire biker. She tries to run from her feelings but it only pulls her in, rolling her into a holiday of drama, choas and a whirlwind of emotions.

After my younger sister went abroad, I married the mafia Don in her place. Five years after we married, we became each other’s greatest enemies. He hated me for driving my sister away and scheming my way into becoming his wife. I hated him for always treating me as a stand-in, never once acknowledging me in front of the world. My lack of status brought humiliation to my vain parents, and from that moment on, their love for me turned into hatred. In the end, he and my parents left me behind on a snowy mountain while celebrating Christmas with my sister. In the bitter cold, I died together with the child I never got to meet. Meanwhile, my sister basked in everyone’s love and had the happiest Christmas of her life. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my sister returned from abroad. This time, I would not beg Gideon or my parents to love me ever again.

Meine jüngere Schwester Lydia Miller und ich wurden unerwartet in einem Gestaltwandler-Rudel wiedergeboren, wo der Tiergott uns eine Wahl der Identität gab. Die erste Option war, eine mächtige Wandlerin mit enormer Kraft und einer großen, imposanten Statur zu werden. Die zweite Option war, eine Heilige zu werden, die die Fähigkeit zur artenübergreifenden Fortpflanzung und eine verführerische, anmutige Gestalt besaß. In unserem früheren Leben wurde Lydia eine Wandlerin, um zu überleben, während ich die zerbrechliche Heilige wurde. Sie wurde am Ende von den Wandlern des Rudels verachtet, weil sie nicht weiblich genug war. Ich hingegen eroberte die Herzen der drei stärksten und schönsten Wandler des Rudels mit meinem zierlichen Körper und wurde ihre am meisten geschätzte Geliebte. Schließlich stiegen sie auf und herrschten über den Urwald, und ich sonnte mich als ihre Heilige in endlosem Ruhm. Lydia wurde vor Eifersucht wahnsinnig und stieß mich in einen Giftsumpf, als niemand hinsah. Mit meiner letzten Kraft rammte ich ihr einen giftigen Dorn in den Körper, und wir starben gemeinsam. Als ich die Augen wieder öffnete, waren wir zurück an dem Moment, als der Tiergott uns aufforderte, unsere Wahl zu treffen. Diesmal stürzte Lydia vor und beanspruchte die Identität der Heiligen als Erste. „Ella, diesmal werde ich die Heilige. Weil du mir so leidtust, überlasse ich dir diese drei defekten, impotenten Wandler.“ Ich biss mir auf die Lippe und schluckte die wilde Freude hinunter, die mich durchströmte. Was ist schon so toll daran, als Gebärwerkzeug zu dienen? In einer primitiven Gesellschaft war Stärke alles.

This Christmas was actually one of my favorite and hilarious Xmas celebrations with uncle Gabriel here with us. It was fun and embarrassing too which made everything much of a sweet memory later on. How many can I remember? It began with little Josh's scandal, grandpa's embarrassment in the mall that day when he actually and mistakenly took his voter's card to the mall instead of his payment card. That day,I wouldn't dare wish anyone else the kind of embarrassment I felt under the unusual gaze of my classmates. I had to endure it all because my siblings and aunt ran away when they sensed what was happening. What if I tell you about aunt Caroline's argument with the pastor right there in the church on the twenty fifth of Christmas in the presence of everyone and with the pastor still standing in front of hundreds of people or is it uncle Gabriel's mischief which got us in trouble with the police, making us to sleep in the snowy woods with crazy imaginative ghosts hunting us down.

“I reject you Marian Storm!” Those were the words she could never have dreamed to hear from the Alpha heir to her father’s pack. And certainly not at the New Year’s Moon celebration, in front of the whole pack. Leaving the pack compound that had been her prison for three years, Marian was heartbroken and determined never to return. But she knew she would, she must. After her rejection, the only desire left in her life was to kill the Alpha who had taken over her father’s pack, failing that, she would leave the pack and become a rouge wolf. She returns home for Christmas to attend her fallen family’s memorial service. On Christmas Eve, during the pack’s mistletoe ceremony, she receives a gift she never expected, a gift no one wanted – Reyland, the biological son of the Alpha she has sworn to kill. Would this gift given to her by the moon goddess help Marian fulfill her desire to reclaim her pack, or would it stir up new passions within her broken heart and consume her instead?

J'étais enceinte de quatre mois de l'héritier de l'Alpha lorsque ma meilleure amie, Adrienne, m'a percutée. Elle a prétendu qu'il s'agissait d'un « accident ». J'ai perdu le bébé. Mon frère, Guillaume, a tenté de la dénoncer aux anciens de la meute. Mais il a été accusé à tort de trahison, dépouillé de son titre de Bêta et jeté dans un cachot de la meute. Je me suis précipitée vers mon compagnon, l'Alpha Bernard, pour lui demander de l'aide. Il m'a serrée dans ses bras et m'a juré qu'il sauverait Guillaume. Le lendemain, j'ai trouvé Guillaume dans le cachot, enchaîné avec des chaînes en argent, à peine vivant. Le cœur brisé, je suis retournée voir Bernard pour trouver un moyen de prouver l'innocence de Guillaume. C'est alors que je l'ai entendu parler à son bras droit. « Alpha, si Luna découvre que vous les avez laissés piéger Guillaume... elle vous détestera. » La voix de Bernard était empreinte d'épuisement et de douleur refoulée. « Je sais comment elle est. C'était le seul moyen de lui faire pardonner Adrienne lors de la Cérémonie de la Lune de Sang. Adrienne m'a sauvé la vie. Je ne laisserai pas cela la détruire. » Il a marqué une pause, la voix complètement froide. « Quant à Sandrine... Je me rattraperai auprès d'elle. Elle ne saura jamais la vérité, jamais. Pour l'instant, elle doit simplement... obéir. » Le compagnon à qui j'avais confié ma vie... Il a jeté ma famille aux loups, tout cela pour protéger la femme qui avait tué notre enfant. Mon cœur s'est brisé. Tremblant d'une rage que je n'avais jamais connue, j'ai appelé la personne à qui je n'avais pas parlé depuis sept ans, mon père, Alpha Claude. « Père, j'accepte l'alliance stratégique, le mariage que tu souhaitais. Mais j'ai une condition. J'ai besoin de ton aide... pour réduire la Meute du Bois Noir en cendres. »
