Kabanata 5 El Filibusterismo

강만여는 가족을 대신해 죄를 갚기 위해 황제의 침전 궁녀가 되었다. 황제는 그런 그녀가 황궁에서 고군분투하는 모습을 지켜만 볼 뿐, 한 번도 연민을 품어본 적이 없었다. 심지어 질투 많은 숙비가 그녀에게 독을 먹여 벙어리로 만들었을 때조차 방관했다. 강만여는 모든 것을 묵묵히 참아냈다. 끝없는 조롱과 모욕에 그녀는 점차 무디어지고 무감각해졌다. 그녀가 바라는 것은 오직 하나, 연차를 채워 출궁해 황제와 다시 마주치지 않는 것뿐이었다. 그러나 출궁 사흘 앞두고, 차갑고 무정하던 황제가 갑자기 돌변했다. 그녀를 놓아주려 하지도 않고, 자꾸만 집착을 보여주기 시작했다. “천하도 너도 모두 짐의 것이다. 어디를 가든 짐의 손바닥 안을 벗어날 수 없다.” 기양은 아버지와 형을 죽인 냉혹하고도 잔인한 황제였다. 그는 비록 후궁이 많았지만, 진심으로 끌리는 여인은 단 한 명도 없었다. 강만여 또한 5년이라는 세월을 그의 침전 궁녀로 있었지만, 그는 쳐다보지도 않았다. 하지만 가랑비에 어깨가 젖듯, 그는 강만여에게 스며들었고 언젠가 자신을 떠날 거란 생각을 전혀 못 하고 있었다. 그러나 결국 출궁 일이 정해지고, 그는 자신의 것으로 생각했던 강만여가 다른 곳에 마음이 있었다는 것을 알게 되었다. 그제야 황제는 자신의 마음을 깨달았다. 아무리 그가 온 천하를 쥐고 흔들 수 있는 황제라지만, 그녀의 마음만큼은 뜻대로 되지 않았다.

El día que Sofía Mendoza perdió a su bebé, Diego Villarreal andaba festejando que su primer amor había vuelto al país. Tres años entregándose y acompañándolo, y para él no había sido más que tener una empleada doméstica en casa. A Sofía se le rompió el corazón y decidió de una vez por todas que se iba a divorciar. Todos sus conocidos sabían que Sofía era de esas mujeres pegajosas, de las que no te puedes quitar de encima fácilmente. —Te apuesto que en un día Sofía ya va a estar de vuelta, suplicando como siempre. Diego respondió: —¿Un día? Eso es demasiado, yo le doy máximo medio día. Desde el momento en que se divorció, Sofía se prometió no mirar atrás jamás. Se propuso a construir una nueva vida, a retomar la carrera profesional que había dejado de lado, y también a conocer personas nuevas. Fueron pasando los días y Diego ya no volvió a ver ni rastro de Sofía en la casa. De repente, él se llenó de pánico. En un evento empresarial, por fin, la vio, rodeada de un montón de gente. Sin pensarlo dos veces, se lanzó hacia ella. —¡Sofía! ¿Cuándo vas a dejar de hacer drama? Alejandro Montoya, el hermano de Diego, apareció de la nada, protegiéndola, lo empujó para quitárselo de encima y le habló con una frialdad que daba miedo. —No te atrevas a tocar a tu cuñada. Diego nunca había querido de verdad a Sofía, pero para cuando se dio cuenta de que sí la amaba, ya no había espacio para él en la vida de ella.

When you have status in a wolf pack then your life is set. You have privilege, you have pretty much everything you can ask for. I used to have that. Until my father, the head warrior, died protecting the Alpha and then all of a sudden we were nothing to the top pack leaders. That was 5 years ago now. I still wonder how my mother managed to live through the death of her mate. She’s the strongest woman I know. Especially after having our house taken off of us, our car, our entire life taken away. When I got to school, I was pretty soaked from the rain and I went inside and went straight to my locker. I could hear a bunch of kids coming down the hallway towards me, and I turned my head slightly to look at them. They were friends that I used to have, and friends that I always refused to have because they were spoiled assholes. One of the guys that was closest to me elbowed me and shoved me into the locker and the rest of his friends started laughing. “Dickhead.” I yelled. And they all stopped. But he slowly turned around to look at me. “What did you just say, trash?” He asked. “You heard me.” I said, turning to face him head on. “I outrank you bitch. You don’t walk away from me. Never forget that.” He yelled. “Fine.” I said, without changing my facial expression at all. So he relaxed a little and pulled back away from me to look at his friends. But then one of his friends yelled at him to look out and when he turned back around to look at me, I punched him straight in the nose.

Walking through the hall, my wedding dress on when I heard them, my own mate with another. He was to mark me on our wedding night but instead I kicked the door open, my wolf pressing to the surface as she growled out in anger as he pushed the Omega to floor of the room. "I reject you Beta! I, Dahlia Selene Knight, reject you Beta Christopher Lee Parker because you are an absolute piece of shit!"
