Left Out Artinya

"She is betrayed, left broken and then reborn." Kaelis Veylaris thought she had everything. Well, until the night her husband pushed her from a tower. She is the only daughter to the Alpha of the Ashfang Pack and destined to be the first female Alpha in years. When her rule is objected to, she agrees to get married to Valrik Dreadmoor, a warrior in her pack. She helped him rise, helped him soar, and what she got in return was a cheating man because she was unable to conceive. Then he chose to toss her over the window when she confronts him. She awakens in the territory of the enemy with no memory, chained and imprisoned. There she discovers that she's not just any wolf. She is a hybrid, burning with the fire of veganance and possessed by two spirits. Now she is caught between two men: Orin, the fierce biker who saved her, and Draven, the powerful rival who once tormented her. Both want her heart. Both could destroy her. Kaelis is confused on which choice to make just as an ancient prophecy rises. The seer tells her that her heart can not serve two masters. One will fall. And if she fails to choose, all of them will fall with her. In a world where power is survival and love is a battlefield, the first female alpha must make a decision. Will she reclaim her throne? Or will the fractured spirits within her tear everything -and everyone- apart?

However, a car rams into me. Isabel turns to glance at me but doesn't stop as she goes after her true love. I'm taken to the hospital to be rescued. However, my heart dies despite my body recovering. Upon regaining consciousness, I call my father. I've cut off contact with him for the past three years, but it's time to cave. "I'll go ahead with the marriage alliance, Dad."

In the second month of my relationship with my best friend Sophie Vaughn's older brother, Elias Vaughn, Thanksgiving arrives. Sophie leans in, eyes gleaming with mischief. "Elias is bringing his girlfriend home for the holiday. Let's see what all the fuss is about." I take my time getting ready, heart fluttering with hope. Just maybe, I'll finally be formally introduced as his girlfriend. But the moment I step inside, I see him with another elegant, beautiful woman, smiling as he introduces her to his parents. "This is my girlfriend," he says. He then inadvertently looks over at me, stiffening for a moment, clearly caught off guard. But just as quickly, he recovers and turns to the woman beside him. "That woman over there is my sister's friend and a part-time student. You could say she's a maid in our household." A maid? As it turns out, I'm nothing more than someone for him to kiss and sleep with. I was never someone worthy of standing by his side publicly. I turn away and board the train back to Ashcroft University, choosing my future over another night in his bedroom.

Le jour où je suis revenue à ma seconde vie, j'étais devant le formulaire d'enregistrement du couple. Cette fois, j'ai décidé d'y inscrire le nom de ma sœur, Lana Hébert. Dans cette vie, je les laisserais, elle et Adrien Nadeau, réaliser leur histoire. Sans attendre qu'Adrien me le demande, j'ai offert ma robe de mariée à ma sœur et j'ai mis la bague, symbole du lien du couple, dans ses mains. Je ne me suis ni disputée ni énervée, et j'ai facilité chacune de leurs rencontres. Quand il a emmené ma sœur dans les territoires du Sud pour combattre, j'ai simplement préparé mes affaires et je suis partie étudier à l'université, dans les steppes du Nord. Car dans ma vie précédente, j'ai passé la moitié de mon existence à m'occuper de la famille tandis que mon mari Adrien, après être devenu le premier guerrier de la tribu, il s'est agenouillé avec notre fils pour me demander de rompre notre lien… afin de vivre son amour avec ma sœur. Dans cette nouvelle vie, j'ai décidé de ne pas devenir sa compagne. Par contre, je veux poursuivre mes propres rêves : partir à l'université des loups-garous dans les steppes du Nord, obtenir mon doctorat en médecine et vivre la vie libre dont j'ai toujours rêvé !

Après ma renaissance, j'ai évité délibérément tout lien possible avec Zachary Lawson. Quand il s’est inscrit à l’université de Prestwick, j’ai choisi plutôt de partir étudier à Norell. Quand il a fait tout ce chemin jusqu’à Norell pour me chercher, je suis allée encore plus loin : j’ai bougé de pays en pays en tant que correspondante de guerre. Des années plus tard, je suis rentrée chez moi, main dans la main avec l’homme que j’aime, pour célébrer notre mariage. Zachary a été arrêté à l’entrée, les yeux bordés de rouge. « Pourquoi tu ne m’aimes plus ? »

' He drawled out the words, dipping his nose on the side of my neck. The warmth of his breath fanned the skin, raising goosebumps along the area. My back ached when he latched his warm mouth on my skin, sucking hungrily. I lifted my hips up, attempting to add more friction between us. The rest of the people faded, mind body and soul focusing on our man. 'Please don't stop. ' I pitifully begged when he kneeled down, putting a distance between us. 'Ssssshhh love, soon baby. ' He purred,  guiding two fingers in my eagerly waiting mouth. *************** Scarlet Baranov has lived all her life without a wolf as an outcast and a slave under the leadership of one cruel Alpha, until one night, his abuse goes beyond the bounds.

I specifically accompany my wife, Sophie Caldwell, to visit her family during the holidays. My mother-in-law, Margaret Jackson, brings over a basket of apples. Then, she says in a half-teasing manner, "These apples are meant for the Jacksons. Once you've had your apple, you'll be blessed with a life as sweet as these apples. By the way, outsiders aren't allowed to take the apples." Everyone begins fighting for the apples happily. So, I grab an apple of my own too. The next thing I know, the atmosphere in the living room goes eerily quiet. Sophie drags me to a corner and starts berating me. "Are you so poor that you can't even afford to buy your own apple? Must you steal apples from my family? "Didn't you hear my mom saying that outsiders aren't allowed to take the apples? Why did you even take one from the basket? "Thanks to you, now Julius doesn't have an apple!" I look around my surroundings. It turns out that there are only eight apples in total, while we have nine people sitting in the living room. So the "outsider" she was talking about is me. I decide to hand the apple over to Sophie's godbrother, Julius Sterling. Then, I call my dad on the phone. "Dad, you don't have to bring the holiday gifts over now."
