Magia Record Novels & Stories

Yo era una princesa del mar. En cuanto vi a Dominic, el Alfa de los lobos, caí rendida ante él. Quería ser su pareja, ser parte de su mundo. Por eso le entregué todo lo que yo era a la Diosa de la Luna. Pero él me encerró en la sala de aislamiento de la manada por tres días. Según él, para que “pensara en lo que había hecho”. Todo porque no corrí a ayudar a su amiga de la infancia, Harper. Se dejó caer en el banquete de la manada y todos los presentes se carcajearon. Harper lloró y se refugió en los brazos de Dominic. —Marina ha de tener celos de lo bien que me tratas. ¡Seguro usó su magia de forastera para hacerme caer frente a todos! Mientras me encerraba, la cara de Dominic reflejaba una gran decepción. —Te he consentido mucho, Marina. Y ahora usas mi amor como un arma contra mi manada. Te quedarás aquí tres días. Cuando hayas aprendido la lección, me buscas por el enlace mental y te disculparás. Entonces te dejaré salir. La sala de aislamiento estaba diseñada para limpiar espíritus. Pero él no sabía la verdad. Quemar salvia solo limpia el espíritu de un hombre lobo. Pero para una sirena, es veneno. El humo me quemó los pulmones. El veneno inundó mis venas. Me asfixié en esa habitación sellada. Y nadie se dio cuenta jamás.

My wife and I slept in separate beds for over three years. Then on our wedding anniversary, she suddenly tried to win me over. She climbed into my bed and pulled out all the stops, trying to get me to sleep with her. I stayed calm and collected. When our son started crying, I used it as an excuse to escape to his room, where I stayed all night. Vivian Hartley spent the entire night knocking on the door. The next morning, she acted sweet and gentle, graciously making me breakfast as if nothing had happened. She even tried to hand over her salary card. When my mother-in-law heard about this, she exploded at her daughter. "You pathetic fool! People need some self-respect! If you can't stand up for yourself, just get a divorce already!" Yet Vivian claimed her feelings for me ran so deep that the heavens themselves could vouch for her sincerity. She even defied her own mother. Our relatives and friends looked at us with envy. But my son and I continued to give her the cold shoulder. Finally, Vivian turned to social media for help. "Three years ago, I was busy with work. My husband and I had completely different schedules. I was afraid it would affect my performance at work, so I suggested we sleep in separate rooms. "Now our child is older, and I've swallowed my pride to try to fix things, but my husband won't even touch me." Someone in the comments gave her some advice: install hidden cameras around the house. "We can't just take your word for it. Record everything so we can see what's really going on. Plus, if things actually end in divorce, at least you'll have built up your social media following. It won't be a total loss." Vivian had no idea I was watching from among her followers.

Can we coexist, William? Or is one of us eventually going to have to leave for the other to stay?" "I don't plan for anyone leaving. Not unless we're all going.," I said. "You don't plan for anything you can't control," Elias countered. He reached out, his hand hovering near the sleeve of my sweater before he actually touched it. His fingers gripped the wool, his knuckles brushing the skin of my forearm. "What happened in 2018, William?” He asked softly. “A small cottage in upstate New York. Bought and sold in six months. No profit. No record of who stayed there." I felt the blood drain from my face. My hand moved instinctively, catching his wrist, my grip tighter than I intended. "Stop digging," I hissed, my voice a low, lethal vibration. "You’re hurting me," Elias whispered, but he didn't pull away. He leaned in, his eyes wide and dark, searching mine. "Tell me what was there, Will. Tell me who you were before you married my mother." "There was nothing in the cottage." I said, my heart hammering a frantic rhythm. I released his wrist, my hand shaking as I pulled it back. "Tell your friend to stop. Now." Elias looked at his wrist, the red marks of my fingers already beginning to bloom against his pale skin. He didn't look angry. He looked... fascinated. "So you can lose control" he breathed, a slow, triumphant smile spreading across his face. "You're just a man good at maintaining it." His eyes were wide with interest. ************************** After his father's death and the mother remarried three months later, Elias is furious and out for revenge. As he digs into his stepfather's secrets,he finds some he can use against him and some that makes him confused about his feelings towards him.

I am a firefighter. A beam crashes onto me in the middle of a burning building. At the same time, my oxygen is about to run out. I writhe and struggle as much as I can to reach for my backup oxygen canister, only to feel my fingers brushing over a bottle of water instead. When I turn around, I see my wife, Leah Sawyer, giving the last backup oxygen canister to her new mentee, Roderick Wyndham. I begin calling out to her via a walkie-talkie. "Leah, I'm being pinned down right now, and my oxygen's running out! Where is the oxygen canister?" As Leah shields Roderick behind her, she replies impatiently, "I've already given it to Roderick. It's his first time inside a burning building, so he's frightened. Having an extra canister on him gives him a sense of security. "You're already a veteran firefighter, so you can just think up a way to resolve your situation. Don't go around wasting precious resources." I can feel thick smoke infiltrating my lungs at that moment. Feelings of asphyxiation soon overwhelm me. "My leg is broken, so I can't move at all! Without oxygen, I won't be able to hold out till I get rescued!" But Leah merely chortles in response. "Stop playing the pity card! Every time we're out on a mission, you're always the cowardly one who's terrified of dying! You have zero sense of dedication at all! I shouldn't have let you join the firefighting squad, to begin with! "What's the use of you clinging to the equipment? Giving it to the newbies is the best way of maximizing its value!" I can only smile bitterly in response. Using what's left of my strength, I switch to a public channel and begin reporting to the command center. "For the record, Captain Leah Sawyer deliberately tampered with the essential rescue equipment in order to protect Roderick Wyndham, causing me, a fellow firefighter, to be trapped in a deadly situation. "I hereby request the immediate activation of the Firefighter Emergency Evacuation Act. Also, I formally charge Leah with gross negligence and attempted homicide."

Él susurró el nombre de ella novecientas noventa y nueve veces mientras dormía. Nunca el mío. Durante cinco años, le di todo a Vincent Bonanno, el heredero de una de las dinastías mafiosas más poderosas de Europa. Hice de su casa un hogar, recordé cada detalle descuidado que soltaba e incluso abandoné mi sueño de convertirme en artista, creyendo que un día, finalmente, me elegiría. Pero cada vez que aparecía Alessia, su lealtad se inclinaba hacia ella. La noche en que el fondue hirviente me dejó cicatrices en los brazos, él se apresuró a protegerla de un rasguño que apenas le enrojeció la piel. En público, su mirada nunca se quedaba conmigo, en cambio solo se perdía en ella. Yo era la esposa ante la ley, más nunca lo fui en la práctica. Así que me marché. Solo con una maleta, los papeles del divorcio que firmó sin darse cuenta y un secreto que nunca planeé compartir: tenía tres meses de embarazo. Él se dio cuenta demasiado tarde. Para ese momento, el divorcio ya era real, al igual que el expediente de la clínica. Y para cuando se dio cuenta, yo había desaparecido. En aquel momento, el hombre que alguna vez gobernaba ciudades con un poder despiadado, estaba dispuesto a poner el mundo patas arriba para encontrarnos. Él tenía soldados, dinero y mil disculpas que nunca me dio cuando yo todavía era su esposa. Pero yo ya no era la mujer que suplicaba por su afecto. Era una madre, una artista y una sobreviviente. La pregunta no era si Vincent podía alcanzarme. La cuestión era si, cuando lo hiciera, alguna vez lo dejaría volver a la vida que destruyó.

Damien and his ex-wife got divorced five years ago, and then he married me. When I married him, he had a 13-year-old adopted daughter named Lily. After our marriage, Damien treated me exceptionally well and I always treated Lily like my own daughter, even when she occasionally showed hostility towards me, I didn't mind. That's normal for a teenage girl. Until my father was accidentally hit by a car and left in a vegetative state, I accidentally overheard a conversation between Damien and his assistant. "Boss, I don't get it. Why block the craniotomy?" the assistant asked, sounding confused. "The doctors say there’s a high chance he could recover. Why are you insisting on conservative treatment?" "He can't wake up," Damien’s voice was suppressed with pain. "He saw Lily's face." I clamped my hand over my mouth, my fingernails digging deep into my flesh. Lily is the adopted daughter of Damien and his late ex-wife, Sarah. Sarah died saving Damien, so he has always treated Lily with a mix of guilt and utter indulgence. Damien continued, his tone incredibly conflicted. " But Lily didn't do it on purpose! She is only thirteen... If she gets a criminal record, her life is over. Sarah’s only dying wish was for me to take care of Lily and see her grow up safe and sound. I can't give up on her." The assistant fell silent for a few seconds. "And what about your wife?" "I’ll make it up to her," Damien’s voice softened. "I’ll provide her with the most prosperous life, and secure the largest private ward along with the best caregivers for her father who’s suffered from the car accident. I don’t care how much it costs." My heart sank completely. Just because you feel guilty towards Sarah and Lily, you're going to sacrifice my father? With trembling hands, I saved the recording and had my lawyer prepare the divorce papers. But when I completely disappeared, the once powerful CEO went mad.

I was reborn back to 1975, when the child in my womb was three months old. I did not tell anyone and quietly had an abortion. However, I still wrapped cotton around my belly every day, pretending the baby was still there. In my past life, my husband Declan Huxley's childhood sweetheart Jane Patton and I gave birth on the same day. She had a healthy, ordinary baby boy. But my child looked nothing like us—he was mixed-race, with features of the Valorian people. Declan and I were both locals, so there was no way our son could look like this. Enraged, Declan scolded me in front of everyone, accusing me of cheating on him and having a disgraceful affair with a Valorian. No matter how many times I explained, no one believed me, and I became the shameful woman everyone pointed at. Worse still, Declan reported me and handed in some foreign letters he found at home, which led to me being taken by federal agents and sentenced as a spy. I spent ten years in prison, and when I finally walked out, I was nothing but skin and bones. Meanwhile, Declan had climbed the ranks for his so-called loyalty to the country. He held Jane's hand and brought along my real son, Seth Huxley, then threw 500 dollars at me like it was charity. He said, "Back then, Jane was accidentally deceived by someone else and gave birth to that brat. Unlike you, she has a gentle nature and couldn't endure hardship, so I had no choice but to switch your children. "This money is payment for your ten years and your reputation. You have a criminal record, and I already filed for divorce long ago to be with Jane. Seth also thinks you're not worthy of me, so you better take care of yourself." Seth also looked at me with disgust. "Mommy Jane treats me very well, and she's not like you; she's never been to prison. I don't want a mother like you!" When I learned the truth, the fury was so overwhelming that I had a stroke and died in despair. In this new life, I want to see how they plan to scheme against me when the child is already gone.

I was nine months pregnant when the Wolf Council sent a resource report to the Luna’s quarters. It listed my mate’s monthly distributions. For two years straight, my husband—the pack’s Alpha—had been secretly providing the same female wolf with territory access, protection, and supplies. Without missing a single month. The first record dated back to two years ago. The same month I lost my first pup. A notification appeared—A contact request. The note read: “A woman kept by an Alpha.” I was strangely calm, one hand rested on my swollen belly as I accepted. She messaged immediately. “You saw the report, didn’t you?” I didn’t reply, I opened her feed instead. The earliest post was dated April 21st, two years ago. A female wolf leaned against an Alpha’s chest. His face was cropped out—but the mark on his shoulder was clear. I recognized it instantly. My mate’s Alpha mark. The caption read: “Thank you for choosing me on my coming-of-age night.” April 21st. That was the night I lay bleeding in the healing room, losing my unborn pup. He had told me he was away on pack business. I kept scrolling. She trained freely in Alpha-only areas. Used resources reserved for the Luna. Was guarded as if she already belonged at his side. Every post carried the same message: He chose her. Pinned at the top was a medical report—She was pregnant—With the Alpha’s pup. I put the device down and returned to our bedroom. Then I received it—Photos. Videos. She sent them to me on purpose— to flaunt that the love I had once been so proud of had already rotted beyond repair. I sat down slowly, my pup shifting inside me, pain spreading through my chest. Only then did I understand—He had betrayed me completely. This kind of love—I don’t want it. This pack—I won’t stay in it. When my pup is born, I will leave—And I will take his heir with me. Let the Alpha search every territory, scour every border, tear the pack apart in regret— he will never find us.

Nací sin espíritu de loba, una carencia que Arabella aprovechó para convertir mis años en la academia en un auténtico infierno. No fue sino hasta mi graduación que mi loba finalmente despertó, dotándome de un poder de curación excepcional; en ese momento, creí ingenuamente que mis pesadillas habían terminado. Fue entonces cuando conocí a mi compañero predestinado, Tristan, el Alfa imponente y poderoso que me prometió el cielo y las estrellas. Sin embargo, la misma tarde que planeaba anunciarle mi embarazo, la verdad me golpeó con una crueldad devastadora. Quien compartía mi lecho no era Tristan, sino su hermano gemelo, Ronan; aquel Alfa errante que años atrás había renunciado a la manada para arrastrarse entre los humanos. Se valió de un bloqueador de aroma para infiltrarse en mi habitación y embarazarme, orquestando un plan retorcido diseñado únicamente para pisotear mi dignidad en mi gran día. Buscaban venganza por Arabella, quien me había acusado falsamente de acosarla con tal de destruir mi reputación. Cegada por la rabia, irrumpí en el estudio dispuesta a desenmascararlos y exigir una disculpa; en lugar de eso, fui encerrada. Mediante un ritual de magia negra, me despojaron de mi loba para entregársela a Arabella. Sentí cómo drenaban mi esencia vital y arrebataban la vida de mi pequeño antes de que pudiera nacer, sumiéndome en una agonía que acabó por consumirme. De pronto, abrí los ojos. Me encontraba de nuevo en el día en que descubrí mi embarazo. Me llevé las manos al vientre mientras una lágrima recorría mi mejilla; esos miserables iban a arder por lo que me hicieron.

Minha família é humana. Recebemos uma vida longa do clã Thorne, algo próximo da imortalidade. Por gerações, fomos seus guardiões mais leais. E eu me apaixonei por Cedric, o lorde vampiro que eu havia jurado proteger. Por cem anos, fui seu segredo, seu pecado, sua única parceira de cama. Eu era seu escudo contra a magia negra, a protetora jurada de seu vasto clã. Achei que ganharia a marca de um vínculo eterno. Eu estava pronta para ele me transformar. Afinal, a cada lua de sangue, ele reivindicava meu corpo. Então, no auge de um prazer agonizante, ele afundava as presas no meu pescoço e bebia meu sangue. Ele pressionava os lábios frios contra minha pele e sussurrava que eu era sua única, que nenhum outro sangue, nenhum outro corpo poderia fazê-lo perder o controle daquele jeito. Mas, desta vez, no momento em que terminou, ele anunciou um vínculo eterno com Elsie, a princesa de sangue puro do clã Valerius. Ele sorriu com desdém ao ver o choque em meu rosto. "Você é apenas uma humana, agraciada com uma vida longa por meus ancestrais, que aquece minha cama. Você não achou mesmo que poderia ser minha companheira, achou?" Naquele momento, entendi. Eu era apenas uma bolsa de sangue renovável. Uma ferramenta com um propósito. Por uma aliança, por ela, ele me sacrificou. Ele me lançou no abismo e deixou a escuridão me engolir por completo. Ele achou que o Pacto do Guardião me manteria presa a ele por toda a eternidade, mas esqueceu de uma coisa. Todo pacto tem uma brecha. Então, destruí tudo o que ele já tinha me dado. Depois, com a ajuda da minha família, desapareci. Mas, quando o Lorde da Noite Eterna não conseguiu encontrar seu brinquedo favorito… enlouqueceu.
