Joseph Sullivan Ice Scream

They say love is sweeter the second time around. Does getting back with the same person who hurt you counts? Paige could only cry her heart out in the dark after Noah Hanson, her husband, filed a divorce just because of a foolish reason– she failed to give him a son. He wasted their one year marriage for something absurd and unreasonable. Paige tried so hard to stand on her own and forget about Noah but four months later, she found out that she’s pregnant and it's a boy. Noah Hanson, who heard the news, tried to reconcile with Paige but her heart was full of anger and pain. She would never let her foolish heart, who still yearns for her ex-husband, win again. Can Noah melt the ice that’s reigning Paige’s heart or he’ll be forever sorry and regretful his whole life?

Dalawang puso ang tumitibok at naglalayong magpaalab ng sumibol na pag-ibig sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon at panahon. Ang pag-ibig na hindi mapapantayan ang inaalay ni Brael Montegarde at Hasumi Mitsunabi sa isa't isa. Ilang beses na pinaghiwalay ng tadhana subalit muling natatagpuan ang mga sariling tapat na sumisinta sa isa't isa at pinipiling iraos ang pag-ibig na pilit hinahadlangan ng mga taong nakapaligid sa kanila. Isang trahedya sa nakaraan ang muling binabalikan ng kasalukuyan. Ang madugong pagpatay sa mga magulang ni Brael at ang bangungot na patuloy na gumugulo kay Hasumi ay tila ba konektado.  Sa pagsiwalat ng katotohanan ay magugulantang ang mga pusong nagiibigan. Ang pumatay sa mga magulang ni Brael ay ang babaeng minamahal niyang si Hasumi.  Layunin ni Brael Montegarde ang maghiganti sa taong pumaslang sa mga magulang niya. Subalit guguluhin ng pagmamahal niya ang paghangad niya ng hustisya.  Kaya niya bang paslangin ang babaeng mahal niya? O mananaig ang pag-ibig na napunla sa mga puso nilang lubos na nagmamahal sa isa't isa?

After the school cafeteria for elementary school kids shut down, I decided to offer meals for all the kids in our building at my home. At the end of the month, when it came time to settle the bill, one of the neighbors wasn’t happy. “The new caterer downstairs only charges $2.50 per meal, but you’re charging us $5! That’s an extra $75 per kid per month. Do you have no shame?” she accused me. I calmly explained that I only used free-range meat and organic vegetables in my meals. But no matter how patiently I tried to reason with them, the parents insisted I refund the difference and demanded I charge no more than $2.50 per meal moving forward. When I lowered my costs to meet their demands, they started accusing me of mistreating their children. They went online to expose me and even reported me to the authorities. The online attacks were relentless. I was fined, and my husband lost his job because of the controversy surrounding me. The stress pushed me into depression, and in the end, I jumped off a building to end it all. When I opened my eyes again, I saw those same parents being swayed by others in the neighborhood to send their kids to the new daycare service that only charged $2.50 a day. What they didn’t know was that the lunch caterer next door did serve meat every day—but it was frozen, diseased pork that had been sitting in storage for two years.

The seventh time I planned to register for marriage with Piero Conrad, he didn't show up again. I was about to text him and ask when he would arrive when I stumbled upon his childhood friend's post. [Celebrating the 999th day since marrying my dear, from the past to the future, it's always been you.] The video showed a marriage certificate, with Piero's name listed as the husband. The registration date was May 20, three years ago. I realized that was why he never showed up those seven times. He was already married to someone else.

"Little mouse, the next time I have to repeat something to you, I'll have to take you over my knee" I shuddered. The thought of him taking me over his knee made me hot for some unknown reason. I sat carefully on his laps, my legs to the side. He turned me so I straddled him. He caressed my sides and leaned into my neck. He sucked on the side of my neck and I tilted my head to give him better access. He scraped my neck gently and I moaned. I felt super sensitive all over my body."My king""Thane. Call me Thane. I want to hear you scream it when you cum for me."***************************************************Alpha King Thane is wild and ruthless. He doesn't know how to be gentle.

My son, Tim, was kidnapped by a group of rogues. My husband, Alpha Kieran, spared no effort, using every resource at his disposal to find him. Finally, he tracked him down to an pub training center nearby. But when Tim regained consciousness, he discovered that he was disabled. As the only son of Kieran, destined to inherit his father’s title, he couldn’t bear the reality of his condition. Despair consumed him, and in his grief, he attempted to take his own life by drowning himself in the lake within our territory. I arrived too late. By the time I pulled him from the water, my strength was nearly gone. Kieran rushed me to the pack hospital, holding me close as he whispered into my ear, "Please, Selene, stay with me. I cannot lose you too." But after my surgery, as I lay in bed, I overheard Kieran speaking to his Beta, Damon, in the hallway. "Alpha, sacrificing the rescue mission that could have saved Tim seemed… excessive. Finding another heart donor wouldn’t have been impossible. Using Tim’s—he was your only son with Luna Selene." "I allowed him to be born because I knew he could save my daughter. I’ve already raised him long enough. It’s only right that he gives me what I need now." "And the doctor said siblings have a better chance of surviving heart transplants. Ana is my most precious child—I won’t risk her suffering another heart attack." Kieran’s words shattered me. He was my fated mate, the love of my life. Yet he had sacrificed our son—our son—to save the bastard child he had with his mistress. The marriage I once cherished, the fated mate I once believed in, had now become my own personal hell.
