Mara Awakening

“Look at me when I touch you,” Sebastian growled, Mara swallowed hard “this isn't part of the deal”. Sebastian's lips brushed her ear.“Everything about you is part of my deal” pinning Mara against the penthouse glass, city lights blazing behind her. His hand slid possessively between her thighs. “I own your moans, your wetness and every filthy inch of you.” She gasped, nails digging into his shoulders. “You bought my body to save my son. Not my fucking soul.” His lips crashed against her neck “ then I'll take that too until you beg me to keep you forever”. He caught her falsifying figures to steal for her dying son then chained her to his bed with a devil's bargain instead of jail. She was the only woman who never wanted him until desperation made her his sex tool every night. Now Sebastian's obsession burns hotter than ever. He hates seeing her around other men. He starts claiming her publicly. Mara is no longer just the desperate thief warming his bed. She's his obsession, his property, his addiction. And what happens when a medical test exposes a secret buried in the past?

BLURB Claire asked her best friend for one impossible thing, to carry the baby her body couldn't. Mara said yes the way she always said yes to Claire. Without hesitation, without conditions, without thinking about what it would cost her. She never imagined the cost would be Claire herself. When the accident took Claire at seven months pregnant, Mara made a choice: no book and no contract had prepared her for. She brought Lily into the world alone, buried her best friend, and decided that love was reason enough to stay. Three years later she is still staying. Still protecting. Still keeping a promise to a woman who is no longer here to see her keep it. Until the day Claire's husband shows up at her door and reminds her that some promises have consequences nobody planned for.

Hindi kailanman inakala ni Mara Villanueva na mapupunta siya sa isang kasunduang babago sa takbo ng kanyang buhay. Isang simpleng babae mula sa probinsya, sanay lumaban para sa pamilya, at handang isakripisyo ang lahat—kahit ang sarili niyang puso. Nang magkasakit ang kanyang ama at mawalan siya ng ibang malalapitan, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang alok ng isang lalaking hindi niya dapat pinagkatiwalaan. Si Atty. Rafael Cortez—isang makapangyarihan, malamig, at walang pusong abogado na sanay makuha ang lahat ng gusto niya. Sa ilalim ng isang kontrata, naging bahagi si Mara ng mundo nito—isang mundong puno ng kasinungalingan, kapangyarihan, at mapanganib na damdamin. Sa una, malinaw ang hangganan: walang emosyon, walang pakialaman, walang pagmamahal. Ngunit paano kung unti-unting mabura ang mga linyang iyon? Sa gitna ng selos, panlilinlang, at pagbabalik ng babaeng hindi pa tuluyang nawawala sa buhay ni Rafael, mas lalong nagiging komplikado ang lahat. Lalo na nang matuklasan ni Mara ang isang lihim na maaaring magwasak sa lahat ng pinaniniwalaan niya. Sa mundong puno ng kasunduan at kasinungalingan— kaya pa bang piliin ang puso? O mas mabuting panindigan ang isang desisyong minsan na niyang sinabi: “Huwag mo akong balikan, Atty.”

“First Love Never Dies,” sabi nila. Kaya naman kahit lumipas na ang ilang taon ay iisang babae pa rin ang nasa puso't isipan si Andrew Herras, iyon ay ang ex-girlfriend niyang si Mara Salandanan. Ikakasal na sana ang dalawa noon, ngunit hindi sumipot ang nobyo sa araw ng kanilang kasal at simula noong araw na iyon ay hindi na nagpakita o nagparamdam pa si Andrew kay Mara. Nagsimula siyang magalit sa kanya. Kinamumuhian niya ito na halos gusto niyang ipagsigawan sa buong mundo na sana hindi na lang niya nakilala si Andrew. Pagkatapos ng maraming araw, buwan at taon. Pinagtagpo ulit sila ng tadhana. Pero sa mga sandaling iyon, nakahanap na siya ng iba. Alam niyang ikakasal ito sa ibang lalaki at alam din niyang mas better ang lalaking ipinalit nito sa kanya. Ngunit hindi pa ito ang huling kabanata para sa kanilang dalawa ni Mara. Dahil si Andrew, naniniwala na hindi pa huli ang lahat para makabawi siya sa mga pagkakamaling nagawa niya noon sa dating kasintahan. Mapipigilan ba niya si Mara na magpakasal sa iba? O tuluyan na siyang buburahin ni Mara sa kanyang puso at alaala? *** PAINFULLOVE 2021AllRightsReserved_CAT LYN

As Shawn’s stay-at-home Luna, I spent twelve winters scrubbing his floors and washing his clothes until my knuckles bled, and he called me Low-rent. I bore his children. I forged his son’s armor with my own hands. I waited for him to take me back to my birth pack—but he chose his adopted sister, Marga, over me, even for a simple journey to my father’s coastal lands. At dawn, I dried my tears and swallowed every ounce of bitterness. Then I returned to the territory I had abandoned and became the heir to the Pearlcoast Pack. The wife Alpha Shawn discarded now rules everything he cannot touch. And the word he feared most—alone—is the word I finally taste as power.

"Oh Mara, I cannot allow him back into the world. I am strong enough to take a rebellion on by myself, no one can kill me with this mark and no one else can hold it, whilst I'm alive. "You ask me to wake the only one who can kill me?"
