Just This Once

Después de mi chequeo médico, estoy por salir de la enfermería de la manada, que se encuentra en el territorio de mi primo, cuando una sanadora toda maquillada me sujeta del brazo. —¡Ni un paso más! ¿En serio crees que puedes romper algo en la enfermería e irte así como si nada? ¡Ni lo pienses! Miro su cara desconocida y parpadeo, sintiéndome confundida. —¿Qué fue lo que rompí? Señaló los frascos de cristal de las repisas y arrugó la nariz con un gesto exagerado de asco. —¡Apestas! Tu olor contaminó todas las pociones y ahora no sirven para nada. El Alfa Xander las compró carísimas; todo vale quinientos mil. También me tienes que pagar por el daño emocional que me causaste, que son otros doscientos. —En total son setecientos mil. ¿Vas a pagar en efectivo o con tarjeta? Mi olor es una mezcla de violetas y ámbar. Es distinguido y elegante, como un atardecer de invierno. Entiendo que no a todos les guste ese aroma, ¿pero cómo puede decir que es contaminación? ¡Por favor! No entiendo por qué la enfermería en el territorio de Xander funciona como si fuera una red de extorsión. Me río de puro coraje y le digo: —Soy la prima del Alfa Xander. Yo no pago ni un centavo en su territorio. Si alguien tiene un problema con eso, que venga él y me lo diga a la cara. Pero la sanadora solo puso los ojos en blanco. —Ay, por favor. ¿Crees que con esos trucos tan baratos vas a llamar la atención de mi Alfa? ¡Ya quisieras! Si no pagas ahorita mismo, te voy a desnudar y te voy a aventar a la calle para que todos huelan lo asquerosa que eres. No tiene idea de a quién está amenazando. Respiro y me pongo en contacto con mi Beta. —Dile a Xander que, o destierra a esta sanadora de la manada, o yo lo desterraré a él.

On the day Yara Cullen was released from prison, it was raining. A chilly wind carried the drizzle, striking her as the media swarmed the prison gates. "Ms. Cullen, in the Crestwood Estate sexual assault case, your client lost the lawsuit and took her own life six months ago. Her mother is demanding accountability. Do you have anything to say?” "Ms. Cullen, your attorney's license has been revoked, and your mentor was forced to retire. What are your thoughts on this?" No matter how the reporters pressed, Yara kept her head down and pushed forward, forcing her way through the crowd. A black G-Wagon was parked by the roadside, where Westley Langston leaned against the car, smoking a cigarette. Beside him, Elena Cullen tugged at his arm. He turned, glancing toward the prison gates.

Après le décès du frère aîné de Leo Carter, sa mère a proposé qu'il épouse Ariel Sullivan, la femme enceinte de son défunt frère. Leo a refusé. « Fawn est ma vie », a-t-il dit froidement. « Je préfère renoncer à hériter de la position de mon frère en tant que parrain plutôt que de trahir ma femme. » J'ai été profondément touchée par sa dévotion. Jusqu'au moment où j'ai accidentellement entendu une conversation entre Leo et sa mère. « L'enfant qu'Ariel porte dans son ventre est clairement le tien », a déclaré sa mère d'un ton sec. « Alors pourquoi refuses-tu de l'épouser ? » Leo a expiré une bouffée de fumée. Son regard s'est perdu au loin, indéchiffrable. « J'ai promis à Ariel que je laisserais un héritier à mon frère », a-t-il dit calmement. « Mais ça reste entre nous. Si Fawn l'apprend un jour, je suis mort. » Le visage de sa mère s'est assombri. « Et alors si elle l'apprend ? Elle ne peut même pas avoir d'enfants elle-même. Vas-tu laisser s'éteindre la lignée familiale à cause d'elle ? » Leo l'a interrompue, sa voix soudainement froide et dangereuse. « Si elle l'apprend, elle me quittera. Et je ne survivrai pas à sa perte. Si tu veux un petit-fils, alors tais-toi. » Je me suis éloignée en titubant, hébétée, et le sang dans mes veines s'est lentement glacé. Leo me comprenait mieux que personne. Il savait que dans mon monde, l'amour ne pouvait tolérer une trahison. Alors, au moment où il m'a trahie, j'ai pris ma décision. J'allais partir.

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?

Le jour du troisième anniversaire de mon union avec Kévin Rogier, Alpha de la tribu l'Ombre, je lui ai préparé un cadeau. C'était un test de grossesse marqué de deux lignes rouges. Son cadeau pour moi, en revanche, était un contrat visant à dissoudre notre union. En voyant le document, j'avais les yeux qui sortaient des orbites, oubliant momentanément de tendre la main pour le prendre. Kévin s'est éclairci la gorge avec embarras et a expliqué : « Susie a été trompée par un scélérat et est tombée enceinte. Son futur enfant, né hors mariage, ne pourra pas prétendre aux droits de résidence de la tribu », a-t-il poursuivi, « Je propose de rompre temporairement notre union afin que je puisse en établir une provisoire avec elle, lui accordant ainsi un statut légal à son enfant. Une fois qu'elle aura accouché, nous nous remettrons ensemble. D'accord ? » Il m'a tendu le papier de nouveau, qui avait manifestement été préparé depuis un bon moment. Remarquant mon hésitation, il a continué avec une voix tendre : « C'est toi que j'aime. Ce n'est que par amitié que je l'aide. Même si nous nous séparons, je ne te laisserai subir aucune injustice. » J'ai levé les yeux vers lui, souriante et sans dire un mot, caressant le test de grossesse dans ma poche. Les deux lignes rouges étaient visibles depuis longtemps.

My grandfather is hit by a car, and his skull is shattered. I take the driver to court. That's when I find out my husband, Stuart Creed, who was supposedly abroad on a business trip, is suddenly at the hospital. He looks at me coldly and snaps, "Do you have any idea how important Maddy’s valedictorian announcement is? Her future can't be ruined by some car accident! Drop the case right now, or I'll cut off all your credit cards and have your grandfather kicked out of the VIP ward!" He slams the door and storms out. Before that, he snarls, "Come home when you agree. Until then, forget about calling yourself Mrs. Creed!" While I'm out desperately trying to gather money for my grandfather's surgery, a team of lawyers contacts me. Turns out the patent my grandfather once authorized to Creed Group has expired. And now, I'm the new legal owner.
