John 16:33

母は私を憎んでいる。それどころか、私が死んでしまえばいいとさえ思っている。 私も、それが当然の報いだと理解していた。 16年前、もし私がわがままを言って外出をねだったりしなければ、兄は私を助けようとして命を落とすことはなかったはずだ。 幸いなことに、母の望み通り、そして私自身の望み通りの結末になった。 私は脳腫瘍にかかり、母を「おばさん」と呼び、全てを忘れたまま幸せそうに死に向かっていった。 なのに、その時、母は正気を失ったのだ。

****** “Do I truly have no effect on you, Delia?” Rafe’s voice was low and husky as he slowly drew her into his embrace. His fingers trailed down the curve of her spine, igniting a spark that sent a shiver racing through her body. As she sucked in her breath, unable to tear her gaze away from him, he leaned in closer, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of her neck. “Does this not feel good?” he murmured, his warm breath fanning her damp skin. Delia remained silent, unable to form a coherent response as he trailed his mouth to hers, slowly capturing her lips in a searing kiss. ******* Delia Scott is seeking refuge from her troubled past on the tranquil shores of St. John, unaware that the moment she steps foot on the island, her fate is sealed. She is the destined mate of Raphael “Rafe” Donovan—the enigmatic and formidable Alpha of the Nightclaw Pack, one of the largest Coastal Wolves Pack. Rafe, rules with an iron fist and works tirelessly to maintain the delicate balance between the humans and werewolves that reside in St. John. After years of believing his fated mate was nothing more than a lost dream, Delia’s arrival changes everything. And now that he’s found her, he will stop at nothing to keep her by his side. As their destinies collide, Rafe and Delia find themselves ensnared in a tempest of desire and longing, each grappling with the depths of their emotions. But beneath the sun-drenched paradise, a sinister threat looms, waiting to tear them apart. And when a third player enters the game, questions arise—Is Delia truly meant for Rafe, or was she never his to claim?

“Accept me, Sarah.” Finnick begged. “I, Sarah Woods, of the RedWoods pack, accept- “What in Goddess’ name is going on here?” my brother’s shouting interrupted me as I was about to accept Finn as my mate. “Come on, Finn.

Tell her how you’ve had someone different warming your bed almost every night for the last four years, sometimes more than one!” Finding out the boy she loved since she was 16 was also her mate was the best and worst day of Sarah’s life.

“I wish that, in your next life, you would spend 16 hours a day with your true love—just being together, even if in silence.” – Kate Leslie “I hope in your next life, you’ll only be able to work for someone else—never a boss, never in control. May you feel what it’s like to be commanded, even oppressed, in your job.” – Rex Leslie “I wish that in your next life, every single one of your companions would be from the underworld—no decent people, no respectable connections at all. May you experience the pain of having to interact with the very people you despise, and may you even lower yourself to fear them and obey, trapped by your own fears and prejudice.” – Max Leslie “I hope that in your next life, you’ll be gay—and not just any gay man, but the kind who is submissive, the kind who finds himself under another man. Not just one, either—let’s make two, no, three or maybe four. I want you to experience what it feels like to be completely dominated.” – Kix Leslie ......

Mon mariage avec le parrain, Laurent Delacroix, était toujours à deux doigts d'être consommé. Nous étions fiancés depuis cinq ans et nous avions organisé 32 mariages, mais à chaque fois, nous avions un problème au milieu de la cérémonie et nous ne pouvions pas la terminer. Au 33ème mariage, au milieu de la cérémonie, le mur extérieur de l'église s'est effondré, j'ai été écrasée et mise en soins intensifs. J'avais le crâne fendu et une grave commotion cérébrale, et l'hôpital a émis plus d'une dizaine d'avis critiques... J'ai lutté sur la ligne de vie et de mort pendant deux mois avant de survivre. Mais le jour de ma sortie de l'hôpital, j'ai surpris la conversation de Laurent avec son subordonné le plus fiable. « Monsieur, si vous êtes vraiment amoureux de cette pauvre étudiante, vous n'avez qu'à rompre les fiançailles avec Mlle Katrina. La famille Delacroix est assez puissante pour arrêter tous les ragots, pourquoi devez-vous créer des accidents encore et encore... » « Elle a failli mourir. » La voix du subordonné portait la désapprobation. Laurent est resté silencieux un long moment avant de prendre la parole : « Je n'ai pas le choix... Il y a dix ans, Monsieur Mordeau m'a sauvé au prix de sa vie et de celle de sa femme. Je ne peux lui rendre cette faveur que par un contrat de mariage. » « Mais j'aime Sophie et je ne veux épouser personne d'autre qu'elle. » J'ai regardé les cicatrices sur tout mon corps et j'ai pleuré en silence. Il s'avérait que toute la douleur que j'avais endurée n'était pas due au destin, mais le résultat des actions délibérées de la personne que j'aimais tant. Puisqu'il ne pouvait pas faire de choix, c'était à moi de mettre fin à tout cela pour lui.

Leah is back on the family farm in Mozambique, where she meets doctor Sergio Martinez whom she immediately feels attracted to. But Leah is certainly not happy to see that her ex-husband Ralph is also back here. Apparently to complete the dream eco-holiday destination he originally planned, when they were married to each other. What is really uncomfortable is the fact that he wants her back as his wife. He still wants to make a baby with her! Leah acquired a little bit of money after selling her grandmother's house in Pretoria. And Ralph knows about it. He is a dangerous man if he believes there is money somewhere that he can get his hands on. But for some or another reason, Ralph Jameson suddenly has money of his own as well. Did he inherit it from the much older deceased woman he briefly married, after divorcing Leah? Or did he steal it from her while she was still alive? Sergio Martinez is happy with the card life dealt him. He is a veterinarian working for an international company dealing with the relocation and breeding of wild animals for National Parks all over Africa. The lion project, wildlife sanctuary and hospital for injured animals is on a farm neighboring Hurters Retreat. He rents a flat from John Hurter, as he got himself a pet now, an African Wild cat. Gato needs to be kept away from the vet's patients and other threats in the bush. Hurters Retreat felt like a safe haven for his cat and his heart. But suddenly he is not that sure anymore. Why does it feel as if Leah was the woman he waited for all his life. And why did her ex-husband follow her there? Is this the day trouble started in his paradise?

At 7am on the dot my alarm rings on my nightstand. After a brief moment of irritation I sprung out of bed to get ready for school. While brushing my long curly ember hair my phone dings incessantly on the bathroom counter. After picking up the phone the dread I already felt in my heart was amplified. It was my best friend Jesse wishing me a happy birthday but I for the life of me couldn’t understand what an 18 year old girl had to be happy about. When a woman turns 18 she is mated for life, she’d be made to quit school, produce children and satisfy their mates every need and urge. That’s all a woman was good for in this town and I’d be damned if I was going to sit down and shut up about it. After ignoring Jesse I finished dressing and strolled down stairs where my mother and father were still having their morning meeting with their subordinates. Alfa John and Luna Kate or not, I’d doubt they’d even notice I was leaving if I hadn’t slammed the door on my way out. I wonder if they were disappointed by my lack of interest of the ways of the pack or if they were just disappointed I didn’t have a penis between my legs. Regardless, I have no intention on going to my mating ball tonight. My parents have invited every male in our pack but there’s no way I was going without a fight! As I lift my fingers from the door handle I come to an abrupt stop eye to eye with my fathers beta Josh. In a low growl all I hear is “You didn’t think you could actually leave did you?”
