Ivy Carmen Sandiego

Meu filho de três anos, Ethan, se perdeu e acabou no território dos renegados, onde foi brutalmente assassinado. Quando fiquei sabendo disso, eu simplesmente desmaiei. Quando acordei, meu companheiro Alfa, Alexander, segurava minha mão com força. A voz dele estava rouca de tanto chorar. — Ivy, eu juro que vou vingar o Ethan. Vou dilacerar esses malditos renegados com minhas próprias garras. Mas apenas três dias depois, durante o funeral, eu ouvi uma conversa entre Alexander e o seu Beta, Marcus. — Alfa, eu não entendo — Marcus parecia confuso — Por que você não deixou o médico da alcateia salvar o Ethan? Ele só estava muito machucado, mas se tivéssemos agido a tempo... — Foi o Lucas. Ele empurrou o Ethan sem querer no território dos renegados — a voz de Alexander estava carregada de dor — mas ele é só uma criança que não conhece os limites do território. Ele não fez de propósito. — Se eu tivesse deixado o médico cuidar do Ethan, o menino teria contado a verdade a todos. Sophia acabaria presa e o Conselho condenaria Lucas à morte. Eu não podia deixar isso acontecer. — Alexander completou. — Mas e o herdeiro da alcateia? — Marcus perguntou, apreensivo. — Não faz diferença — a voz de Alexander voltou a uma calma assustadora — Assim que Ivy se acalmar, eu vou trazer o Lucas de volta. Nós vamos dizer que ele é um órfão adotado e o próximo Alfa será criado pela própria Ivy. Então, a pessoa que matou o meu filho era o filho ilegítimo dele com a amante. Meu filho poderia ter sido salvo, mas Alexander preferiu sacrificar o meu Ethan por causa desse bastardo. Disquei um número que não ligava há cinco anos. — Papai, sou eu. A Ivy. — Mudei de ideia — disse, com a voz soando fria e firme. — Vou voltar para herdar a Alcateia Real. — E quanto à Alcateia Pedra da Lua? — Eu quero que a Pedra da Lua seja apagada da existência.

My name is Ivy Lawson. At 3:00 am, I get a call from Christina McSpire, a parent of one of my students. "Hello, Ms. Lawson, I noticed Zoe only spent five dollars on her meal yesterday. Did she not eat any meat?" she asks. Pushing through my exhaustion, I reply, "Don't worry, Mrs. Street. I'll check on it tomorrow." Another half hour goes by, and she calls again. "It's supposed to rain tomorrow. Can you remind Zoe to bring an umbrella?" I can hardly keep my eyes open. "Got it," I reply absentmindedly. A few minutes later, my phone rings once more. "Please make sure Zoe brushes her teeth for three minutes. It's also important that she scrubs each side of her face at least three times." Suppressing my frustration, I calmly respond, "Zoe is in her senior year of high school. I'm sure she's capable of taking care of herself." I expect that to be the end of it, but when I wake up, my silenced phone shows over a hundred missed calls.

" I hate you but I want to kiss you." His husky voice whispered into my ears as he pinned me against the wall. It was getting hot in here and down there as well.

She needed closure, but it turned out to be the worst decision she ever took… or was it? ~~~ Sera Lane has spent years building a quiet life, far from New York, far from Adrian Cross—the boy who once held her heart, and the secret she’s carried ever since. But when news of his engagement reaches her, she convinces herself one trip back won’t hurt. One night to finally let go. Instead, she walks straight into the storm she’s been running from: Adrian isn’t the same boy she left behind. He’s colder, sharper, and when he learns the truth, he refuses to let her slip away again. Suddenly, Sera is pulled back into his world of wealth and betrayal, standing face to face not only with Adrian but also Ivy Shawn—her former best friend and the woman about to marry him. Adrian wants answers. He wants their son. And he wants her. But with old wounds tearing open and dangerous truths surfacing, Sera has to wonder: did she destroy their love forever… or could the child they share be the second chance neither of them expected? When everything comes crashing down, only one question remains: Can love survive the lies that broke them once before?

Poised, soft-spoken, and hopelessly in love, she walked away from it all to marry Ethan Blake—the man who owned her heart but never returned her love. For years, she lived in silence, enduring a cold marriage while Ethan gave his heart to her best friend, Ivy. Until betrayal turned fatal. When Ivy’s final act of cruelty takes Eliana’s life, she awakens in the past—on the morning of her wedding day—with every painful memory intact. This time, she won’t make the same mistakes. This time, she won’t love blindly. She won’t surrender her life for anyone. From pawn to power player, Eliana embarks on a journey of self-discovery, calculated revenge, and ruthless transformation. The woman who once lived in the shadows is gone. In her place stands a force no one saw coming. But rewriting fate comes at a cost—and as Eliana rises, she must choose between vengeance and the chance to love again… this time, on her own terms. The Rebirth of the forgotten wife is a gripping tale of heartbreak, second chances, and the strength it takes to rise from the ashes.

He pinned me against the wall, his eyes burning with intensity. I tried to push him away, but he just smiled, his lips curling up in that annoying grin of his that looked sexy as hell. 'You can't resist me, can you?' he teased, his breath hot against my skin. I tried to deny it, but my body betrayed me, arching into his touch. He chuckled, his eyes glinting with triumph. "Don't," I whispered, my voice trembling with need. "I'm not ready for this." He paused, his gaze searching mine. Then, he leaned in closer, his voice low and husky. 'I think you are."

I dropped off lunch for my husband at the Conglomerate HQ, only to bump into my ex from two years ago. The man who'd ditched me at our marking ceremony to go "take care of his sister." I'd changed my hair, my makeup, everything. But he spotted me in the crowd as if it were nothing. "Elena, I'm back to finish what we started. Happy now?" I felt that familiar knot of doubt in my gut. "Sorry, who are you again...?" He let out a shaky laugh. "Babe, come on. Don't be mad. I didn't mean to leave you hanging. The ceremony back then? Ivy's wolf spirit was too weak. I had to find the Wolf God ruins to pray for her. She's my only sister; I couldn't just watch her fade." "Yeah, the healing took a while. So, I got myself an assignment overseas." "Anyway, I just got her wolf spirit stabilized, and I rushed back to bring you home to the packhouse!" That's when it hit me. This scruffy guy, with the stubble and all… this was my ex-fiancé. No. Did nobody tell him? The night he walked out on me? I married his uncle. Alpha Damian. The Wolf King.
