Ivy Bell

On the day I got pregnant again, August decided to give up on gambling and work to provide for the family. I was so touched that I cried. With trembling hands, I handed him the money I had saved up after working odd jobs for a year. Two of the bank notes fell on the floor, and I picked them up before running after him. When I reached the end of the alley, I saw the mafia members who always came to our doorstep to demand repayment of our debt. They treated August respectfully. Apparently, his poverty was just a facade. “Mr. August, do we still need to surround your house and demand payment tomorrow?” August sat in a Lincoln limousine and said nonchalantly, “No need.” He stared at the ring on his finger and sighed. “It’s been years. It’s enough to prove that her love for me is real. She once worked so hard to pay off my debt that she suffered a miscarriage. “I already betrayed her once. It’s time to tell her about my true identity so that she doesn’t have to work so hard anymore.” But Ivy, his childhood friend, pouted. “You can’t! It’s not time yet to reveal the truth! What if she’s like your previous girlfriends and only cares about your money and your identity as a mafia boss? “You should wait a little longer and see whether she wants to have this baby.” August gave a wistful nod. “Alright. I’ll do as you say. In any case, she has been with me for so long. I don’t think she can leave me now.” I clenched the money in my hands and turned around. Tears streamed down my cheeks. I no longer wanted to live this lie dressed as love.

After getting reunited with my family, I become the copycat whom my mom hates the most. Since the fake heiress, Emily Burk, is a student of an Ivy League institution, I got into graduate school in just three months. After Emily decides to return to the country and establish her own business, I spend a year establishing and developing my business to the point that it becomes the biggest retail company that sells female apparel. When Emily gets featured in the news for her feats as a village teacher, I decide to donate tens of millions of dollars in order to secure a spot on the headlines. While my family can't stomach my behavior, they realize that they can't beat me as well. But when I choose to announce my upcoming marriage right after Emily has made her own announcement, my mom, who hasn't contacted me for three years, calls me on the phone immediately. Apparently, she demands that I delete my pre-wedding photos. "It's bad enough that you keep stealing Emi's thunder! I can't believe you actually stole her husband too! What the hell are you up to, Gabriella?" Emily's fake sobs can be heard echoing in the background. "That's enough, Mom. I asked Derek to tell me the truth. He doesn't even know who Gabriella is! She Photoshopped that photo on purpose just to piss me off!" Who's Derek? Also, my husband, Caleb Ingram, is my childhood sweetheart from the orphanage for 18 years! How did he become someone else's husband anyway? But when Gabriella sends me one of her pre-wedding photos, I find out that the groom in that photo looks exactly the same as Caleb. Isn't that a huge coincidence?

Por centésima vez, mi Alfa y compañero, Ryker, usó su voz de mando sobre mí, amenazando con rechazar nuestro vínculo si no me sacrificaba por mi hermana gemela, Ivy. No lloré ni protesté. Simplemente firmé los papeles de rechazo del vínculo de compañeros. Le entregué a mi hermana al Alfa que había amado durante diez años. Pocos días después, Ivy armó un escándalo en el Banquete de la Alianza de Manadas, humillando a la hija del Alfa de Silvermoon. Una vez más, di un paso al frente para ocupar su lugar, soportando el dolor de una marca de plata desfigurante. Más tarde, cuando exigieron que probara la seguridad del Ritual de Regeneración del Espíritu Lobo con mi propio cuerpo por el bien de mi hermana, acepté con una sonrisa. Mis padres, ambos Betas, me dijeron con los ojos enrojecidos, que finalmente estaba siendo la hermana mayor que se suponía que debía ser. Incluso Ryker, que siempre había sido tan distante conmigo, se detuvo ante la celda. Acarició suavemente mi mejilla por primera vez en mucho tiempo y dijo en voz baja: —Harper, no tengas miedo. Tan pronto como termine la prueba, te llevaré a ver las auroras al Lago de la Diosa de la Luna. Pero él no sabía que, independientemente del resultado de la prueba, no volvería a verme jamás. Mi espíritu de loba ya se estaba desvaneciendo. Nada podía salvarme. Esta vez, cuando cerrara los ojos, sería para siempre.

Pela centésima vez, meu companheiro Alfa, Ryker, usou sua autoridade contra mim, ameaçando rejeitar nosso vínculo se eu não me sacrificasse pela minha irmã gêmea, Ivy. Não chorei nem protestei. Apenas assinei os papéis que acabariam com nosso vínculo de companheiros. Me rendi, entreguei o Alfa que amei por dez anos à minha irmã. Alguns dias depois, Ivy causou uma cena no Banquete da Aliança da Alcateia, humilhando a filha do Alfa de Silvermoon. Mais uma vez, dei um passo à frente para tomar o lugar dela, suportando a dor de uma marca de prata desfigurante. Mais tarde, quando exigiram que eu testasse a segurança do Ritual de Regeneração do Espírito do Lobo com o meu próprio corpo para minha irmã, aceitei com um sorriso. Meus pais, Betas da alcateia, com os olhos vermelhos de tanto chorar, disseram que eu finalmente estava sendo a irmã mais velha que deveria ser. Até mesmo Ryker, que sempre foi tão distante comigo, ficou diante da adega. Ele acariciou suavemente minha bochecha pela primeira vez em muito tempo e disse em voz baixa: — Harper, não tenha medo. Assim que o teste terminar, vou te levar para ver as auroras no Lago da Deusa da Lua. Mas ele não sabia que, independentemente do resultado do teste, nunca mais me veria. Meu espírito de lobo já estava se apagando. Nada poderia me salvar. Desta vez, quando eu fechasse os olhos, seria para sempre.

[MATURE CONTENT: DARK REVERSE HAREM ROMANCE] A rough hand covers my mouth, muffling my cry of surprise when I'm pushed against the fence. A muscular thigh pushes between my legs, and I stare at a red eyed Haeden. "Haeden?" It comes out on a heavy exhale. His pupils dilate, and I squirm against him as he presses even closer. "Fuck," He tangles his fingers into my hair and I cry out in pain. He tilts my head back not once loosening his hold on me. He leans in and forces his tongue down my throat.  He produces a deep groan that vibrates through me. I whimper when he bites my bottom lip. He tilts my head and licks a trail up the length of my neck. "Haeden," I whisper, my voice thick. He finds my pulse and sucks, teeth grazing along my tendons.  "Do you know how much I hate you?" he hisses into my ear, "Yet here I am, going crazy after seeing you dance with Ivy like that." His voice is husky. I gasp when he bites me, the points of his teeth digging into my skin. "We were just dancing," I whisper. He scoffs and presses his knee tighter against me. "You're fucking adorable, but you must be a niave little bitch if you think that didn't affect me, Stone, or Kingston," he growls into my ear. *** Ariella went from prized virgin to psycho pariah in less than a day. Her father, the Pastor of a church, mass murders a group of it’s members. She's the one to catch him red handed, literally.  She becomes an outcast, with a target pinned to her. Making unlikely friends with delinquents, Ariella gives a sacrifice. Psychopathy is hereditary. Stone, Haeden, and Kingston just want to see if it's true.

He is a 10 but he is a decade older than me, my brother’s best friend, a therapist who wants to counsel me and... he likes to hurt little girls like me. “What were you doing this morning?” “I was meditating.” He is right. I am a terrible liar. Aiden raised his eyebrows. “Is that so?” He waited for my answer, crossing his arms over his chest. I got distracted by the way his biceps bulged. He noticed me staring. I glanced down at my lap, twiddling my thumbs. “Y-yes, Doctor Aiden, I was meditating and I-I focused on my breath like you taught me—” “Why are you lying to me, Ivy?” My head snapped at him. “I-I am not lying.” Aiden tilted his head and my throat went dry when he said, “Then why did I hear your voice moaning my name when you orgasmed with your fingers inside you?" He is her first love. She is his best friend's little sister. Will a chance reunion lead to true love? I was a good girl. An honor student. A dutiful daughter, sister and a sweet girlfriend to my boyfriend until I found him in my best friend’s bed. I didn’t want goody-two-shoe nice boys who gave me empty promises. What I wanted was a man who wouldn’t hurt me. When I found my brother’s best friend, Aiden Stone, with only a towel around his hot Greek body dripping wet from a shower, I decided that what I wanted, what I had been wanting for years, was him. The only problem? He is a decade older than me, my brother’s best friend, a therapist who wants to counsel me and... he likes to hurt little girls like me.

"Alex... help… please…" I tried to whisper, but no sound came out. I saw them, Alexander had his arms wrapped around Sophia, who was clutching him like her life depended on it. She was pressed against his chest, her face buried in his neck, and she wasn't letting go. "Don't look at her," Sophia whispered loudly. "You'll only make yourself sick with guilt. This isn't your fault. She did this to herself by being dramatic." That's when I heard the scream. "Oh my God! Mrs. Sterling!" Rosa, one of our housemaids, came rushing into the dining room. "Mrs. Sterling, what happened to you?" Rosa dropped to her knees beside me, her hands fluttering over my body like she didn't know where to start. "You're bleeding! There's so much blood everywhere!” I was bleeding? I couldn't feel anything below my waist anymore, but when I managed to glance down, I saw the dark stain spreading across my dress. "Mr. Alexander!" Rosa shouted, her voice cracking with an anger I’ve never seen in her before. She looked ready to commit murder. Did I look that bad? “Your wife is dying! How can you do this to her? How can you stand there holding another woman while your wife bleeds to death on the floor?!" Rosa snarled. "Rosa, lower your voice," Alexander snapped, but I could hear something different in his tone. Uncertainty. "Take Ivy to the hospital and stop making a scene, or you'll be looking for another job." Rosa shot back, tears streaming down her face. "¡Sos un bueno para nada! What kind of man are you?" I was going to die. Right here on my dining room floor, wearing my mother's blood-stained dress while my husband comforted another woman.

PAG-IBIG Animo'y naubusan ng dugo sa putla si Mia nang ipakilala ng mag-asawang Fuchs si Phineas. Ang estrangherong kaniyang sinuntok at tinadyakan thirty minutes ago sa loob ng airport. Hindi naging maganda ang nagdaang araw ni Mia sa mansiyon simula nang dumating si Phineas. Inis na inis siya sa ginawa nitong pagkuha ng litrato habang magkatabi silang natutulog. Nawindang pa siya nang bigla nalang nagbakasyon si Miss Ivy at ibinilin nito sa kaniyang gumawa ng paraan para hindi umuwi ng Germany ang kaniyang mainiping unico hijo. Hindi alam ni Mia kung ano ang gagawin kay Phineas na palagi nalang siyang iniinis at hindi siya sineseryoso. Sabi pa nito’y she effortlessly beguiled him with her cute curves on her lips na mas lalo pa niyang ikina bwesit ang tono nitong sarkastiko. Sa pagdaan ng mga araw ay nagamay din ni Mia kung paano pakisamahan si Phineas. Hindi niya akalaing aabot sa puntong hindi niya naasahan ang pusong pigilan ang nararamdaman at naisuko ang lahat sa lalaki. Akala ni Mia ay maayos ang lahat hanggang sa isang umaga’y naabutan niya si Phineas na nagmimilagro sa sariling kuwarto kasama ang isang babae. TRAHEDYA Pinatay ni Mia ang kaniyang sarili sa mata ng lahat ng nakakakilala sa kaniya. Sinabayan niya ang isang trahedya na kinasangkutan niya at ng kaniyang pamilya. Upang paghandaan ang paghihiganti sa walang awang umubos ng buhay ng kaniyang pamilya ay umalis si Mia ng San Martin dala ang nakakakilabot na karanasan at ang sakit ng pag-ibig na kaniyang labis na pinagsisisihan. Paano kung sa pagkalipas ng tatlong taon ay dalahin si Mia ng kaniyang paghihiganti pabalik sa San Martin at makitang muli si Phineas? Mapanindigan kaya niya ang binuong bagong mukha at pagkatao? O tuluyan ng susuko ang kaniyang puso?

Ethan, mi cachorro de apenas tres años, se metió por error en territorio errante y lo mataron de forma brutal. Cuando me dieron la noticia, perdí el sentido. Desperté y vi a Alexander, mi pareja Alfa, apretándome la mano con fuerza. Tenía la voz ronca por la tristeza. —Te juro que voy a vengar a Ethan. Voy a despedazar a esos malditos errantes con mis propias manos. Pero tres días después, en el entierro, escuché por casualidad una conversación entre Alexander y Marcus, su Beta. —En serio no entiendo. —Marcus sonaba confundido—. ¿Por qué no dejó que el sanador de la manada ayudara a Ethan? Estaba herido de gravedad, pero vivo. Si hubiéramos actuado a tiempo... —Fue Lucas. Empujó a Ethan hacia territorio errante por accidente. —Alexander sonaba dolorido—. Lucas es solo un niño y no conocía las fronteras. No fue su intención. —Si hubiera dejado que el sanador lo salvara, el niño le habría contado la verdad a todo el mundo. Sophia terminaría en la cárcel y el Consejo condenaría a muerte a Lucas. No podía permitir que eso pasara —continuó Alexander. —¿Qué pasará con el heredero de la manada? —preguntó Marcus, preocupado. —Eso no importa. —El tono de Alexander recuperó una calma—. En cuanto Ivy se tranquilice, traeré a Lucas. Diremos que es un huérfano adoptado y ella misma se encargará de criar al siguiente Alfa. Así que el que mató a mi cachorro fue el bastardo que tuvo con su amante. Mi cachorro pudo haberse salvado, pero Alexander sacrificó a mi Ethan por su bastardo. Marqué un número al que no había llamado en cinco años. —Soy yo. Ivy. —Cambié de opinión. —Yo sonaba firme y no mostraba ninguna emoción—. Voy a regresar para heredar la Manada Imperial. —¿Y qué pasará con la Manada Moonstone? —Quiero que la Manada Moonstone sea destruida.
