Lobo Show

Fui la Beta principal del Alfa Damon. Durante seis años, fui su mano derecha y su compañera en la cama. Cuando anunció nuestro ritual de unión, la manada entera lo celebró. Mi sueño estaba a punto de cumplirse. Pero entonces, afuera de su salón de trofeos privado, lo escuché presumir sobre sus Pruebas de la Luna. Y en ese momento, supe la verdad. No era la única para él, sino una de treinta candidatas. Había pasado un mes con cada una de nosotras, calificando nuestros cuerpos, nuestra sumisión y nuestro desempeño. Mi calificación fue más baja que la de una Omega. Más baja que la de Lydia. —Lydia fue increíble. Apenas y podía separarme de ella. Y luego veo a Elysia… tan tiesa, siempre tan controlada… y la verdad es que… me aburre. La conmoción me paralizó. Dejé de sentir el cuerpo. Seis años de lealtad. Incontables noches entre sus brazos. Al final, todo significó menos que un capricho momentáneo y una loba que sabía arrodillarse. Mi dolor se convirtió en una resolución inquebrantable. Le envié un mensaje a un Alfa que me había pretendido tiempo atrás. “Adrian, dijiste que tu oferta de ser mi compañero seguía en pie. ¿Estás seguro? Ya terminé con Damon.”

El día en que mi amor se desvanecía para siempre, por fin descubrí algo sobre mi compañero, Ethan Langley. No se trataba de que él fuera completamente incapaz de orientarse… es solo que no podía recordar cuál era el camino que llevaba hacia mí. Ethan era el Alfa de la manada, mientras que yo era su compañera. Habíamos sido compañeros durante diez años. Pero cada vez que lo necesitaba, siempre se perdía. El día de nuestra ceremonia de marcaje, Ethan se perdió dentro del territorio de la manada. Por eso, la ceremonia se retrasó tres días. Cada año, en el aniversario de nuestro marcaje, Ethan siempre se perdía. La comida del banquete nocturno que yo preparaba siempre se quedaba completamente fría. Cuando tenía ocho meses de embarazo de nuestro cachorro, le envié un mensaje de auxilio a través del vínculo mental después de sufrir una fuerte caída. Mientras Ethan me gritaba por el vínculo mental que ya venía, en realidad estuvo perdido en el territorio de la manada durante cinco horas. Para cuando nuestros conocidos de la manada llegaron a rescatarme, mi cachorro ya estaba muerto. Mientras yacía en la cama de piedra del centro de sanación, mis conocidos de la manada se acercaron para consolarme. —Ethan no sabe orientarse en absoluto, ni aunque su vida dependiera de ello. No lo hizo a propósito. No te enojes con él, ¿sí? Aún podrán tener cachorros en el futuro. Solo pude asentir, aturdida. Pero el día en que se suponía que asistiríamos al funeral de nuestro cachorro, me di cuenta de que Ethan conocía bien el camino cuando iba al volante de la camioneta. Incluso tomó un desvío solo para pasar por la residencia de Lyria Jeffries, una Beta. —Elena, aún queda algo de tiempo antes de que empiece el funeral. Voy a ir a dejar primero a Lyria a su casa para que pueda visitar a su familia. Antes de que pudiera oponerme, el auto ya se había detenido justo frente a la residencia de Lyria. Lyria se subió al asiento del copiloto como si fuera lo más natural del mundo. Llevaba una sonrisa radiante mientras decía: —¡Mira qué bien te he adiestrado, Ethan! Si alguna vez olvidas del camino a mi casa, ¡me aseguraré de despellejarte vivo! Solo entonces Lyria me notó, sentada en el asiento trasero. Fingió timidez mientras sacaba la lengua. —Solo bromeaba, Elena. Soporté las «inofensivas» pullas de Lyria con una expresión de piedra. Pero justo después de que Ethan dejara a Lyria, olvidó de inmediato el camino al funeral. Por eso, el funeral se retrasó media hora. Mientras sostenía la pequeña urna de mi cachorro, sentí que el corazón se me hundía hasta lo más profundo del estómago. Resulta que sí existe alguien que puede quedar exenta del terrible sentido de orientación de Ethan. Es solo que… mi cachorro y yo nunca fuimos la excepción.

I, Isabella Norton, once made a promise with Julian Lawson, the billionaire CEO. After 98 proposals, he vows to appear at the doors of the city hall on my 99th attempt. But when the day comes, he doesn't show up. Instead, he brings his mistress, Natalie Mayer, to a concert. The sweet kiss they share under the camera's spotlight quickly turns into a trending sensation. At the same time, I also make headlines for turning up at the city hall for the 99th time. Speculations about the mysterious groom who never makes an appearance run wild. Everyone wonders when I will make my 100th attempt to propose. Out of guilt, Julian promises to show up next time when he realizes that I have carried out my promise. But when he finally arrives there clad in an impeccable suit, all he receives is a text message from me. "There won't be a hundredth proposal. It's over between us."

I made a deal with Sonia Quindt—the billionaire CEO. After I'd proposed to her ninety-nine freaking times, she swore she'd finally show up for the hundredth. Spoiler: she didn't. She was out there at some concert with her boy toy. And, of course, someone caught them on livestream. Big kiss. Big viral moment. Meanwhile, my face was plastered all over the internet too—lonely guy number one, waiting for a bride who never existed. Everyone online started making bets. Who was the mystery woman? How long until I came crawling back for the hundred-and-first proposal? Sonia, apparently struck by some last-minute guilt, promised she'd make it right next time. Said she'd actually show up. And she did. Wedding dress. Perfect makeup. Cameras ready. She got a text from me: [Sonia, there won't be a hundred-and-first proposal. We're done.]

In a world where judgment is so easily passed, how can love be free and true? Is there a world where two people can freely express their love for one another and show their true color? How can someone so sure about himself become so conflicted about everything because of a stranger he just met?

My mother-in-law, Susan Thorne, was trapped in a fire, and her life was in grave danger. She called me for help. When I arrived, I saw a male actor, Maximus Lance, pouring gasoline onto the fire for a variety show’s effect. I tried to stop him, but he simply threw a lawyer’s letter in my face and said, “Who are you to mess with our show’s filming? I’ll sue you into bankruptcy!” I smashed the camera and yelled that someone was still inside. The male actor just lit a cigarette nonchalantly and said, “So? My wife is the fire chief. She’s the one who told them to light this fire. “Even if someone’s in there, it’s probably just a nobody. She can fix it.” I saw the ring on his finger. It was the ring I thought would be mine. I scoffed and dialed 911. “Hello? I want to report someone for deliberate arson and attempted murder at an abandoned factory.”

My brother's only child was diagnosed with acute leukemia, and the baby growing inside me became his only hope. The moment I got the news, I didn't hesitate, even though I was six months pregnant, ready for the transplant compatibility test. My brother drove me to the hospital to get the results, but things took an unexpected turn when my sister-in-law mistook me for a mistress. She waited until my brother stepped away, then locked me in the bathroom. Her face twisted with fury as she tore my clothes, stepped on my belly and insulted me. "You seduced my husband and even dared to carry his child! My son falls ill, and you rush back just to show off, is that it? No one steals my man! Today, I'll show you what happens to a mistress's baby!" It was only when my brother came with the compatibility report of successful matching that she collapsed…

The Richie Rich who violated my daughter has gotten off unscathed. He sneers and throws a wad of cash in my face. "I'll show you what people mean when they say money makes the world go round!" In that split second, I want to tear him to pieces.

Lucy and Axel had plans to travel after they graduated high school. Two orphaned werewolves with no pack to show them who they are. When Axel’s twin sister comes looking for him their plans blow up. After everything they’ve gone through in their lives. Who can they trust and when should they fight.

We have differences, we are born not to impress anyone but to show them what and who we are. What if one day you'll end up losing your confidence? what if one day you'll never know who you are? what if because of one person you'll be lost your smile, lost everything including your happiness. Are you willing to trust again? to love again? Are you willing to be fooled and played again? lies... heartbreaks. betrayal..... played. fooled... pained... We all experience this, it's up to us to handle it properly. smile... laugh... mingle... meddle. Words that we can use to ease those pain words to enlightened our mood words that help us to go through and make our day complete. MASK the only thing we can use to hide what we feel inside. mask it hides the pain the heartaches and betrayal We often use a mask to simply smile to show the world that we are strong. strong enough to face the reality.
