Juli El Filibusterismo Drawing

As the end of the year approaches, my wife, Sylvia Small, who is five months into her pregnancy, accidentally falls into a lake. Our neighbor who is a police officer, Raven Weber, jumps in and rescues her. Unfortunately, she slips into a coma after her heroic feat. As I rush over, I see that a crowd has gathered at the scene. Sylvia is drenched from head to toe, wrapped up tightly in a blanket. Water droplets keep dripping from the tips of her hair. "Are you alright, Sylvia?" I ask, drawing near. The moment Sylvia sees me, she moves toward me and burrows herself into my arms. She clings to me like she is clinging for dear life. "You're finally here, Zach!" she exclaims emotionally. I frown and push her away. "Just say what you have to say. This suit is expensive. Don't dirty it," I said indifferently. My words make Sylvia's eyes go wide with disbelief and shock. But that only lasts for a second before an anxious look replaces it. She holds my arms firmly and says in a choked voice, "Officer Weber is in a coma because of me. Please transfer a sum of money to me so that I can thank her for saving my life." I glance at Sylvia impatiently and reply, "What's that got to do with me? Why should I transfer you my money so that you can give it to her?"

—Elara, esto confirma los detalles de su muerte fingida. En dos semanas, durante la ceremonia de coronación de la Luna, escenificaremos su muerte. Usted caerá en el agua turbulenta y la causa de muerte será el envenenamiento por acónito. Cuando mi compañero Alfa, Aiden, me abandonó de nuevo por “asuntos urgentes de la manada,” encontré un errante en el mercado negro y firmé el acuerdo de muerte fingida. Todo el mundo de hombres lobo creía que el Alfa Aiden estaba locamente enamorado de mí. Ciertamente, él interpretaba bien su papel, sin olvidar besarme la frente cada vez que se iba. Pero solo yo sabía que esa trigésima novena vez que me besó, él también había pasado la noche ebrio junto a esa modelo Omega, Cassia. Pero ya nada de eso importaba. Era un Alfa corrupto, y yo había terminado con él. En la coronación que él más atesoraba, me aseguraría de que recibiera el cadáver perfecto.

Cuando mi hermana menor se fue al extranjero, terminé casándome con el Don de la mafia en su lugar. Cinco años después, no éramos más que dos extraños que se odiaban a muerte. Él me despreciaba, de verdad. Estaba convencido de que había echado a mi hermana para quedarme con su puesto, armando todo un plan. Por mi parte, lo odiaba, porque siempre me trató como si fuera un simple reemplazo, negándome un lugar en el mundo. Mi falta de lugar en esa casa avergonzó tanto a mis padres, que el amor que me tenían se pudrió hasta volverse odio. Al final, mientras ellos celebraban la Navidad con mi hermana, él y mis padres me dejaron tirada en esa montaña nevada. Bajo ese frío que calaba los huesos, di mi último aliento junto al hijo que nunca pude cargar en mis brazos. Mientras yo me consumía en el frío, ella era el centro de atención, disfrutando de todo el cariño en la mejor Navidad de su vida. Pero al abrir los ojos de nuevo, estaba de vuelta en el día que ella regresó. Esta vez, no pienso mendigarles ni un poco de amor ni a Gideon ni a mis padres.

Mi mamá accidentalmente me metió a un chat de grupo llamado “Familia Feliz”. En el grupo solo hay tres personas, mi mamá, mi papá y un chico que no conozco que lleva el apodo de “Tesoro”. Ellos están emocionadísimos organizando una fiesta de cumpleaños para él… y mañana es mi cumpleaños, ese que llevan diez años consecutivos olvidando. En el chat mamá escribe: ‘El lugar debe ser de ensueño, que se sienta como el rey de la fiesta.’ Luego, mi papá le hizo una gran transferencia de dinero, y le dijo: ‘No te preocupes por el dinero, solo no dejes que tu hermano se entere, se molestaría’. Mientras tanto yo, en silencio, tomo capturas de pantalla, esperando el momento perfecto para romper todos los lazos de una vez. En ese momento, mi hermana, siempre tan aplicada y ejemplar, me envía un mensaje al privado con una captura de pantalla de su conversación con mamá: “Mamá, ¿ya organizaste la fiesta sorpresa de cumpleaños para mi hermano? Me prometiste que esta sería la última vez que lo engañaremos”.

El día de mi vigésimo cumpleaños, el amigo multimillonario de mi abuelo colocó varias fotos frente a mí y me pidió que eligiera un esposo. Sin vacilar, seleccioné a Adrián Mendoza, el sexto hijo de la familia Mendoza. Todos los presentes quedaron atónitos. Después de todo, todo el mundo sabía que yo, la heredera de la familia Delgado, había estado obsesionada durante años con Luciano Mendoza, el tercer hijo de los Mendoza. En mi vida anterior, logré casarme con Luciano, quien gracias a esto heredó la mayor parte de los bienes de su abuelo. Pero después del matrimonio, me fue infiel con mi hermana menor, Sofía Delgado. Mis padres, furiosos, enviaron a Sofía a estudiar al extranjero. Desde entonces, Luciano me odió profundamente. Permitió que numerosas amantes que se parecían vagamente a Sofía me humillaran constantemente. El acoso constante me llevó a sufrir una severa depresión. Al final, Luciano reemplazó mis medicamentos con veneno lento, y morí embarazada, llena de amargura. Al renacer, decidí dejarlos ser. Pero cuando se anunció mi compromiso con Adrián Mendoza, Luciano perdió por completo la cordura.

In the depths of her heart, he had always been the love of her life. Arabella's dreams were filled with visions of standing by his side, and her prayers to the moon goddess were fervent, hoping to be chosen as his mate.

Yet, her world crumbled when he unexpectedly selected her foster sister as Luna instead, proposing that Arabella should become his mistress. It left her heart shattered into pieces.

His hands gently pressed on her waist, caging her and drawing her closer. He brushed her lips softly with his parted ones. She leaned into him, surprised at how natural it felt to be held against him, the man who made her want to flee for the hills and strip naked at the same time. "Even if you were the only woman left in this world, I would never accept you as my mate." Blaze's eyes grew darker under the lighting, making Lilith squirm under his intense gaze. Lilith Venerelli is the daughter of the head warriors of the Blood Moon pack. The perfect rank, and perfect wolf, Lilith has her whole life planned, and mating with her boyfriend during the mating season would be the cherry on top. The day she turns eighteen, her world crumbles when she learns that she is no longer a warrior but a sigma, deemed the lowest of the pack. Alpha Blaze Westbrook is the future alpha of the Blood Moon pack. He always dreams of having the strongest she-wolf as his mate. His hope shatters when he finds that his mate is none other than the pack's sigma. Torn between the pack's principles and the mate pull, he is forced to disregard his mate. Will he be able to fight against the mate pull, or will he fight against his pack's principles and accept the pack's sigma as his mate?

“You must be fooling yourself if you think I would accept being mated to a filthy, wolfless omega like you. Let’s cut to the chase and get to it. I, Xavier, future Alpha of Crystal Pack, reject you as my mate.” Xavier said and threw me to the ground. “Pathetic!” With one last disgusted glance, he left the room. *********** Abused and disregarded by the entire pack members, her adoptive parents, and her twin sister, who loathes her. Ariana endured all of this, hoping for a better life when she finally meets her mate. But when she is rejected by the one person she has waited for all her life, Ariana is heartbroken and plots to escape and start a new life of freedom, but fate has other plans for her. When Alpha Arthur comes to trade for omegas, and Ariana is brought forward as the last omega, she discovers she has been given a second chance mate. Arthur, the ruthless Alpha King who doesn’t believe in love but sees it as a weakness to his legacy, and a fragile, wolfless omega who happens to be his mate and maid. Can these two ignore the pull that keeps drawing them closer? Can Ariana break through the cold-iced heart of Arthur and bring warmth into it? Arthur is related to Ariana’s painful past. Will she claim her rightful place as his Luna at Shadow Howl Pack or let the consequences of their past destroy her forever?

"Don't make me do this, Iris." The muscles in his arms tensed a kilowatt as he clenched his fists into a tight ball. I could feel the primal strength they exuded, and the slutty urge to be subdued roughly by them simmered between the cream of my lower lips. I slammed my lips roughly against his, drawing in a long noisy kiss to make his shaft budge against my lower abdomen. "Show no mercy." Iris Sawyer was forced to navigate her path through a supernatural world of angst and brute force. Stuck between a protracted pack war, she soon realized her survival depended on the side she took, or to use correctly, the kiss she accepted. In her quest to find an escape from the emotional turmoil of losing her parents at a tender age, she met Gustav, the Alpha from the Grey Moon Pack, who was mated to her by the Moon Goddess. Hell was a mild euphemism to describe the horror she met at the Grey Moon Pack. But as fate would redirect her steps, she met with the charming Lycan king from Crescent pack, Ludovic, Gustav's worst enemy. Gustav and Ludovic happen to be caught in a dark web of hatred for each other, and Iris was beginning to be another bone of contention between them. Will Iris be able to follow her heart and roost where it feels more secure? Will she be able to stand strong as she finds answers to all the questions plaguing her mind? Will love prevail in the end, or will blood settle the score?
