Karma

Yo era su única debilidad. Don Alex, el rey de Nueva York. Y yo era su reina. Pero días antes de la fecha de nacimiento de nuestro hijo, me arrojaron a participar en el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, un juego cruel transmitido para el entretenimiento del mundo clandestino. Las balas volaban, trampas ocultas acechaban y cada uno de mis intentos aterrorizados y patéticos por sobrevivir se transmitía en vivo en pantallas gigantes. Entonces, escuché a su segundo al mando por los altavoces. —Jefe, su esposa está a punto de dar a luz. ¿Seguro que quiere estar aquí? Me congelé. ¿Alex estaba aquí? Un momento después, una voz de mujer, empalagosa, goteó a través de los altavoces. —Olvida a esa perra. Alex me dijo que lo único que importaba hoy era estar aquí conmigo. ¿Cierto, cariño? Era Scarlett. La princesa de la mafia de Chicago. El amor de la infancia de Alex, una mujer a la que él siempre había consentido y hacia la que mostraba un claro favoritismo. Durante años, él había rechazado sus insinuaciones, pero nunca se negaba a sus caprichos. Hoy, ella estaba de mal humor e insistió en ver el Duelo a Muerte en los Muelles, así que él estaba allí para hacerle compañía. Grité llamando a Alex, le supliqué ayuda, pero él estaba convencido de que yo era una asesina disfrazada. Scarlett se rió y dijo que el juego debía ser más emocionante. Así que él presionó el botón. Perros de patrulla crueles me cazaron. Se me rompió la fuente, mezclándose con la sangre en el suelo. Estaba en agonía. El juego llegó a su clímax mientras más perros y hombres armados me cercaban por todos lados. Todos apostaban sobre quién sería el siguiente en morir. Alex sonrió, con su voz en un tono bajo y despreocupado. —Apuesto a que esa asquerosa mujer embarazada morirá. No supo la verdad hasta que me desangré en una mesa de operaciones, con nuestro hijo muerto junto a mí. Dicen que el despiadado Padrino se hizo pedazos. Se rompió por completo.

Lesley Hummer, my husband's sister, lies to me about being unable to conceive. She wants me to help her produce a child. To my shock and horror, my husband and mother-in-law agree with her! I refuse to give in, so they drug me and force me into bed with my her husband. When the pregnancy comes to term, I give birth to a daughter. My husband and his family go nuts because it's not a boy. They kill the baby before my very eyes! They even take away all my organs that can be exchanged for money. Then, they continue searching for a surrogate for Lesley. When I open my eyes again, I'm back to the day Lesley kneeled before me to beg me.

My twin sister, Sarah, was dying from silver poisoning. My blood was the only thing that could save her. The healer was overwhelmed and made a mistake on the paperwork. She mailed the diagnosis report to the pack house with my name on it instead of Sarah's. She told me the truth in private.I wanted to rush home immediately and correct the misunderstanding. But before I could, the news reached the pack. My parents and Alpha Damien reacted in a way I never expected. They firmly forbade Sarah from donating blood to save me. They raged that I was being selfish for even asking for help. They said Sarah couldn't handle the weakness that came from a blood transfusion. I fought back the coldness spreading through my chest. "I'm pregnant. If I don't get treatment soon, the poison in me will kill the pup too." My mate Alpha Damien, the one who had sworn to protect me forever, responded without warmth. "We can always have more pups. Sarah only has one life to live." My wolf howled in agony inside my head. So I chose to leave, to walk away from the place that had brought me nothing but pain. By the time they realized the truth, it was already too late for regret.

Eu sou Isa Borgia, filha do Don mais poderoso de Corvina. Meu pai teme que eu me case com o homem errado por impulso, então ele arranja meu noivado com Luca, o herdeiro ascendente da família Marino. É um casamento arranjado, mas isso não significa que eu perdi toda a minha voz. No mínimo, eu posso escolher um anel de que eu realmente goste. Então, eu vou ao leilão da máfia. Quando o anel de diamante aparece como a joia final da noite, eu levanto minha placa. Pouco antes de o martelo bater, uma voz arrogante soa atrás de mim. — Uma caipira como você acha que pode competir comigo? Faça um favor a si mesma e vá embora. O salão de leilões fica silencioso por alguns segundos. O único som vem dos cliques das câmeras ao redor da sala. Eu me viro e vejo uma mulher em um vestido couture dourado. Sua boca se curva em um sorriso casual, como se fosse dona do lugar. Antes que eu possa dizer uma palavra, o leiloeiro se apressa em encerrar o lance. — Vendido! Parabéns à senhora Sofia Lopez por vencer o último lote, a Estrela Eterna! Minhas sobrancelhas se franzem, e uma onda quente de raiva sobe pelo meu peito. — Você encerrou o lance cedo demais! Vocês seguem alguma regra aqui? Sofia se vira e me dá um olhar de cima a baixo, seu olhar afiado como uma lâmina. — Regras? — Ela solta uma risada fria. — Qual é. Eu sou a irmã de consideração favorita do Luca Marino. Aqui, eu faço as regras! Eu não consigo evitar rir. Que coincidência. Então, ela é a irmã de consideração do meu noivo. Eu pego meu celular e ligo para ele. — Luca, a sua irmã de consideração acabou de arrancar o anel de noivado que eu escolhi. Como você pretende resolver isso?

Mon compagnon Alpha pensait que je ne savais pas qu'il avait un petit Oméga métis avec sa maîtresse Oméga, mais j'avais découvert son secret depuis longtemps. Je l'ai menacé pour qu'il rompe avec sa maîtresse, sinon je cacherais leur enfant et lui ferais regretter pour toujours. Mais je n'ai absolument rien fait, leur enfant a disparu. Il m'a enfermée dans une cage d'argent et m'a même laissée voir mon fils souffrir pour m'interroger sur l'endroit où se trouvait leur enfant. Mais quand mon fils est vraiment mort, j'ai complètement abandonné et je suis partie. Le puissant Alpha s'est effondré.

Dalawang buwan ng mamatay ako, napagtanto ng mga magulang ko na nakalimutan nila akong iuwi mula sa lakad nila. Naiinis na sumimangot at sumigaw ang ama ko. “Dapat siyang maglakad mag-isa mismo. Kailangan ba niya talaga itong palakihin?” Ang kapatid ko, na mayabang, ay binuksan ang chat namin at nagpadala ng emoji, kasama ng message. [Mamatay ka na dyan. Sa ganitong paraan. Kami ni Scarlet ang maghahati sa pamana ni Lola.] Wala siyang natanggap na sagot. Habang malamig ang ekspresyon, nagsalita ang nanay ko, “Sabihin mo sa kanya na kapag nagpakita siya sa kaarawan ng lola niya sa tamang oras, hahayaan ko na ang pagtulak niya kay Scarlet sa tubig.” Hindi sila naniniwala na hindi ako nakaalis ng gubat. Matapos maghukay ng malalim, nakita nila sawakas ang mga buto ko.

The Beast King, Tharion Kael, has spent half his life on the battlefield, yet he has no heir. So, he summons every woman rumored to be blessed with fertility into the palace. Favored by fortune and against all odds, I, as a descendant of the Carp Clan, conceive. To keep me safe during my pregnancy, Tharion hides me away in a remote, deserted palace, guarded in secret by his Nightguards. But just as I am about to give birth, I unexpectedly crossed paths with the Vixen Consort, Lyra Swifttail, who wanders into the Forsaken Wing by mistake. She swishes her tail playfully, eyes sparkling with amusement as she looks at my round belly. Her smile is utterly captivating. "I didn't expect to find a little carp having an affair here…" With a spell, she drags me away, forcing me into my true form. Then, one by one, she scrapes the scales from my body until I am raw and bleeding. She has her catfolk attendant pour scalding oil over my wounds and orders guards to violate me until I am left broken like a rag. When I finally lose consciousness, she slashes me open with a claw and rips the stillborn child from my womb. She presents it with both hands to Tharion, who has just come to visit. She says, "Your Majesty, what perfect timing. I caught a carp sneaking around the Forsaken Wing. This is her illegitimate child!"
