Live And Let Die

I was ten years old when I lost my hearing saving Adrian Falcone's life. After that, I couldn't survive without my hearing aids. He held my hand afterward, his eyes red-rimmed with guilt, and made me a promise in front of his entire family. "Serena Lombardi, I'll protect you with my life," he said. "I'll marry you." But when I turned eighteen, everything changed. Adrian needed to pass some test set by Daniela Moretti—the daughter of a rival family—and he chose the cruelest way to prove himself. He ripped the hearing aids from my ears in front of everyone and laughed. "You're just a deaf, useless burden," he said, his voice cold and cutting. "I've been sick of you for years. Honestly? I wish you'd died in that explosion when we were ten and saved me the trouble." I gripped the rehabilitation report the doctor had just handed me, and my fingers crushed the paper's edges. The diagnosis was precise—my hearing had fully recovered. That night, I burned my hearing aids and convinced my parents to cut all ties with the Falcone family. Adrian Falcone, we're done. Whatever we had, whatever you owed me—it's over now.

The books say that besides empaths, mages are the most sensitive when it comes to emotions. They also say that mages are the most dangerous supernatural s pecies to walk the earth. There's a reason for that, the elders say that mages who are underaged are a ticking time bomb because if a mage who is not of age constantly experiences negative emotions before their Coming of Age ceremony, their magic becomes twisted, their heart becomes cold and their eyes change to reflect that evil magic coursing through them. No one ever believed the books, thinking of them as fairy tales. At least they didn't until Olive Lane walked into school her magic dark and corrupted enough to give her a shadow familiar. Her hair no longer an almost white blond but a haunting purple. Gone were her kind and emotion-filled green eyes and in their place were amethyst eyes filled with nothing but hatred and amusement. Everyone watched her snap the neck of a classmate with the tilt of her head and it was in that moment they realized that the books and the elders were right. And for the first time in their peace-filled lives, the residents of Ravenswood felt true horror because when she looked at them, they knew that in front of them was the monster spoken of in fear and terrified reverence. Olive Lane,the sweetest and kindest person to ever walk the earth was now a Dark Mage. Will her soul be forever lost in the darkness or is there a hope for redemption? Will she defeat her demons or will they overtake her and ruin that which she loves...

Diego has everything; he is a strong alpha leading one of the strongest packs on the continent, and he has a family that loves him unconditionally. However, no matter how many reasons he has, that unfortunate night never lets him be happy. He has tried to drown himself in work and exhaust himself in training to the extent that he was unable to move, but the pain he feels whenever glimpses of "that night" appear are the most agonizing moments of his life. To the world, he is "the hidden alpha," "the ruthless alpha," "the cruel alpha," but no one knows the truth behind those tags except his "addy" and her mate, "Ryan." Diego has a secret that he is unwilling to accept, and he will not reveal it to anyone, not even his mate (whom he has not found yet). Addy believes that once he finds his mate, his wounds will heal themselves automatically, but Diego dreads that moment because he knows that the fire burning inside him is enough to burn anyone who comes close to him.

What will happen when fate throws these two broken souls together? Will their unhealed wounds ever heal?

After four years of marriage, James Lawson, who had never posted anything on social media, unexpectedly updated his status: "What an adorable little foodie!" The attached photo showed a young woman wearing pink cat ears, eating at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Her cheeks were flushed red from the spicy food as she stuck out her tongue. It was Sophie Jones, a new content creator at his company. Within a minute, our mutual friend commented: "Dude, you forgot to switch accounts!" Just like that, James's new post disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, only to show up moments later on Sophie's feed. Then James's name lit up my phone screen. In the past, I would have already taken screenshots and called him first to confront him. It would have inevitably ended in a heated argument. But this time, I calmly watched his call go to voicemail without answering.

Am Tag meiner Bindungszeremonie erwischte man meinen Gefährten und meine Schwester Rose dabei, wie sie sich in der Umkleidekabine der Brautjungfern paarten. Ich wurde zum Gespött des ganzen Rudels. Gerade als ich vor Scham im Boden versinken wollte, trat Alpha Nate vor. Er markierte mich vor aller Augen. Nach der Hochzeit umsorgte er mich liebevoll. Trotzdem blieben wir kinderlos. Erst durch künstliche Befruchtung wurde ich endlich schwanger. Er kümmerte sich noch aufmerksamer um mich. Selbst im Schlaf murmelte er „Liebling“ zu mir. Ich dachte, die Mondgöttin hätte uns dieses Glück geschenkt. Bis ich eines Tages ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seinem Beta belauschte. „Du bist wirklich herzlos, Nate. Luna Diana ist so gut zu dir. Und du hast heimlich die Eizellen vertauscht, nur weil Rose Angst vor den Schmerzen hat? Du lässt Luna als Leihmutter austragen?“ „In zwei Monaten kommt das Kind zur Welt. Was hast du vor?“ Er schwieg einen Moment und seufzte dann: „Wenn das Kind geboren ist, gebe ich es Rose. Damit erfülle ich ihren Traum, Mutter zu werden.“ „Luna Diana werde ich sagen, das Kind sei tot geboren.“ „Sie ist nur eine verstoßene Omega. Ich bleibe ihr Leben lang bei ihr, das ist Entschädigung genug.“ Die ganze Zärtlichkeit, der ganze Schutz – alles war gelogen. Ich drehte mich um und vereinbarte einen Termin für einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch. Dieses widerliche Kind will ich nicht. Diese verlogene Ehe will ich noch weniger. Ich bin eine Omega des Rudels, aber kein Werkzeug, mit dem man nach Belieben umspringen kann.
