Make Out Paradise

CAN BE READ ALONE!! Growing up, at a younger age my mom would tell me her romantic story of how she and dad met. I fell in love with their love story and would beg her to tell me every night before going to bed. I love her story so much that I could not wait to one day be old enough to find my one true mate; that every full moon, I would stare through my bedroom window and watch excitedly wolves being wandered off into the dark, having only the full moon to guide them. Seeing them, I was even more anxious to turn eighteen and to too meet my mate. The wolf, the moon goddess has blessed me with to spend my entire life with. Before my mom was taken from me, she used to tell me, a one true mate is like an alpha, and that the only difference is that he may not have a pack he's destined to rule and protect, but a single wolf he's destined to love forever. I kept that quote with me and impatiently waited until I was of the rightful age, searching under the beautiful moonlight for my one true mate. It was the most beautiful night and even more beautiful when I lay eyes on a dark hair and blue eyes handsome wolf. I could hear my wolf crying inside telling me that he was mine; that night I thought I found everything that I was looking for and ever wanted, but the next day after my one true mate mark me as his own and took my innocent. Everything wasn't going the way I thought it would be. My mate mostly. His sweet behavior towards me suddenly changes into something terrifying; something I'd never wish upon anyone.

Le jour où mes beaux-parents ont été kidnappés, mon mari était en train de cuisiner pour Céline Laurent, son premier amour. Je ne l’ai pas empêché d’aller jouer les bons samaritains, mais j’ai pris la peine d’appeler la police. Parce que j’avais vécu cette scène une fois déjà. Dans ma vie précédente, j’avais empêché mon mari d’aller voir son amour de jeunesse. Il avait alors retenu mes beaux-parents sur le départ, évitant ainsi le drame de leur agression. Mais son premier amour, elle, s’était coupée la main. La plaie s’était infectée, et elle avait dû être amputée. À l’époque, mon mari ne m’avait pas reproché un seul mot. Jusqu’à un an plus tard. Alors que j’étais enceinte et sur le point d’accoucher, il m’a attirée sur une falaise isolée avant de me pousser dans le vide. « Si tu ne m’avais pas empêché d’aller voir Cécile cette nuit-là, rien de tout ça ne serait arrivé ! Tout est de ta faute ! » « Pourquoi est-ce Cécile qui a dû être amputée ? C’est toi qui aurais dû mourir ! Sale vipère ! » Je suis tombée dans le vide, emportant avec moi l’enfant que je portais, morte avec une haine inextinguible. Cette fois-ci, mon mari est parti comme il l’avait voulu, pour s’occuper de son premier amour. Mais à son retour, il s’est effondré à genoux, vieilli de dix ans en une nuit.

“I reject you Marian Storm!” Those were the words she could never have dreamed to hear from the Alpha heir to her father’s pack. And certainly not at the New Year’s Moon celebration, in front of the whole pack. Leaving the pack compound that had been her prison for three years, Marian was heartbroken and determined never to return. But she knew she would, she must. After her rejection, the only desire left in her life was to kill the Alpha who had taken over her father’s pack, failing that, she would leave the pack and become a rouge wolf. She returns home for Christmas to attend her fallen family’s memorial service. On Christmas Eve, during the pack’s mistletoe ceremony, she receives a gift she never expected, a gift no one wanted – Reyland, the biological son of the Alpha she has sworn to kill. Would this gift given to her by the moon goddess help Marian fulfill her desire to reclaim her pack, or would it stir up new passions within her broken heart and consume her instead?

Lyana Dela Merced grew up with nothing but grit and determination. Life had never been kind to her. From abandoned by her lover, and later losing her only child to illness, she learned the hard way that pain doesn’t pause for anyone. But even when the world kept breaking her heart, she refused to stay down. Her younger brother, who battled mental illness, depended on her strength, and that was enough reason for Lyana to keep fighting. From one side job to another, Lyana took on every decent work she could find just to survive. Cleaning houses, waiting tables, running errands—name it, she’s done it. So when her doctor friend one night offered her a stable job with the wealthy Tejada family, she didn’t think twice. But what she didn’t expect was that the job came with a shocking twist. Instead of being hired as a simple housekeeper, the Tejadas wanted her to be their surrogate mother. They couldn’t have a child of their own, and they wanted Lyana to carry the baby for them. Torn between desperation and morality, she faced an impossible choice: become the billionaire’s baby maker, or walk away from the one chance that could change her family’s life forever. Years later, fate plays its hand again. The widowed Preston Tejada crosses paths with Lyana Dela Merced, the woman who once carried his child. Old secrets resurface, hearts begin to stir, and both must confront a past that refuses to stay buried. Can Lyana right the wrongs she once made with the Tejada family? Or will she find herself falling for the very man she was never meant to love?

He was, and had nothing when I met him. He was a terribly poor dreamer, and all he had was smooth words and endless promises. I gave up everything for him, including my family’s wealth, my privileged life, my identity as an heiress. I hid who I really was just to help him climb the ladder, brick by brick, until his name shone like gold. Our empire was built on my sacrifices. And how did he repay me? By throwing me away like a piece of used, wet tissue. By parading his new fiancée in my face and sneering, “Don’t you think I’m out of your league now?” He thought he could erase me. He thought he could take my love, my labor, my loyalty…and bury me like garbage. But he forgot one thing. I’m not just a girl he used. I’m an heiress. The gold in his pocket? The power in his hands? The empire on his shoulders? All of it came from me. Now I’ve returned to the world I left behind, with bodyguards at my side, a new fiancé chosen by my family, and more power than he could ever dream of. And when he calls me a gold digger? I’ll smile and remind him of the truth… “Gold digger? No. I’m the gold maker. And without me, Mr. Billionaire, you are nothing.”

“I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU FIRED ME!” she screeched, looking like she’d just lost a leading role on Love & Hip Hop. “I’M THE BEST EMPLOYEE YOU EVER HAD, YOU STUCK-UP BITCHES!” Then boom, she picked up her laptop and chucked it across the room like she was auditioning for the shot put in the Olympics. Trevor gasped. “Not the MacBook!” “I’M NOT LEAVING!

Je me suis réveillée dans mon corps de 27 ans. J'avais des jumeaux, et mon compagnon était Antoine, le Alpha le plus puissant du Nord-Ouest. Il était toujours en tête du classement du Conseil des Loups. Même le magazine Alpha Weekly l'a désigné « compagnon idéal numéro un du continent ». Même la Tribu Royale voulait lui marier leur princesse. Tout le monde dans la tribu disait que j'avais de la chance. Mais qu'est-ce que j'ai fait en premier ? J'ai pris le contrat sacré de rupture de notre lien du couple et je l'ai donné à l'ancienne amante d'Antoine. J'ai poussé le contrat devant Isabelle et j'ai dit calmement : « Je vais demander à la Déesse de la lune de rompre notre lien. Antoine est à toi. Les petits aussi. » Isabelle m'a regardée, choquée. Elle n'arrivait pas à croire que celle qui avait été Luna pendant six ans allait tout abandonner comme ça. J'ai juste ajouté tranquillement : « Puisqu'ils préfèrent tous ton odeur, je vais vous laisser la place. » « Fais juste signer le contrat par Antoine avec son sceau de l'Alpha. » « Une fois la cérémonie de rupture terminée, je quitterai ce territoire. » Cette fois, je n'allais pas refaire les mêmes erreurs. Je ne serais plus la Luna que tout le monde ignorait.

Pour sauver ma famille, je mourais d'un empoisonnement à l'argent. Marcus, mon fiancé, qui m'avait promis de ne jamais m'abandonner, voulait désormais prélever mon rein en bonne santé pour Céleste, la fille adoptive de mes parents. Personne ne se souciait de savoir si je vivais ou mourais. Alors, j'ai refusé le traitement conservateur. Je me suis injecté la potion de vie de la sorcière. Le prix ? Dans soixante-douze heures, je devrais mourir d'une défaillance totale des organes. Durant ces trois jours, j'ai offert mon centre de guérison privé — celui que j'avais construit de mes propres mains — à Céleste. Maman et Papa ont rayonné de joie. « Ma bonne fille, tu as enfin mûri. Tu prends soin de ta sœur, maintenant. » Marcus a voulu reporter notre mariage pour s'occuper de Céleste. J'ai accepté calmement. Il m'a félicité d'avoir enfin fait preuve de compréhension. J'ai même cédé mon poste de guérisseuse en chef de la meute à Céleste. Mes parents et Marcus étaient si enthousiastes qu'ils ont organisé une grande fête en son honneur. Ils ont invité toutes les personnalités influentes de la meute pour célébrer sa nouvelle fonction. Je me demandais simplement une chose : après ma mort, verseraient-ils une seule larme pour moi ?
