Mechanical Instinct

Giselle He was sin dressed in Armani. The kind of man mothers warn you about and daughters dream about anyway. The moment his eyes hooked mine, I knew I was damned. Sexy, lethal, a wolf in a tailored suit—Nicholas was temptation wrapped in cruelty. Every instinct screamed run, but desire chained my feet to the fire. Our chemistry didn’t just spark—it detonated, burning through reason until I was his. But love with the devil always comes with a price. And when Nicholas shattered me, he didn’t just break my heart—he fed it to his enemies. Turns out I was never his queen. Just another pawn bleeding on his chessboard. Nicholas She was the one thing this cursed world couldn’t give me—an angel. The moment she looked at me, I claimed her. Fragile, pure, the soft to my savage. She was light, and I was hell, and somehow we collided. But angels can lie too. With her betrayal, she cracked my armor wide open. I raged, I burned, and then—she was stolen from me. Now my veins pump vengeance. My enemies will choke on their own screams for daring to touch what’s mine. Let heaven tremble and hell prepare—because I will scorch this world until my angel is back in my arms.

ISOLDE: “I’m a witch. I don't believe the moon goddess can pair me with any wolf, especially one from the royalty. That's why I chose my path early, marrying the love of my life, Alpha King Rowan. We have been married for over five years now, even though we have no children.” “But now…everything has changed. He is no longer the man I fell in love with, he denied me of every right after marrying his fated mate, and the worst? I found out that his younger brother is my fated mate.” “How do I tell Alpha King Rowan that his younger brother is my mate? Or will he release me immediately when he finds out?” FINNIAN: “I left home to train at seventeen years old, taking our father's step to become a warrior worthy of protecting our family and our pack. I couldn't witness my brother's marriage, but he always spoke of his wife as if she were the moon goddess herself–beautiful, kind, perfect.” “Now, I'm back, to witness the opposite of what my brother has been singing to me. But the moon goddess did me dirty when I found out that the woman I was supposed to love, protect, and care for turned out to be Isolde.” “How can I watch him maltreated her…when my wolf and every instinct in me scream that she's mine?”

Ma vie était toute tracée. Je savais que j’hériterais de la meute, mais je ne savais pas qu’un mariage arrangé faisait partie des devoirs de l’Alpha. Donc, évidemment, je n’aimais pas la fille que mes parents avaient choisie, même si c’était ma compagne — belle et intelligente !Mon instinct de compagnon m’avait poussé à la revendiquer, mais mon côté rationnel me força à la rejeter après une nuit parfaite. Je n’ai réalisé mon amour pour elle que lorsque je l’ai perdue, quand elle a quitté la meute pour réaliser ses rêves. Cependant, mon amour n’était pas mort quand je l’ai revue, lors de mes fiançailles avec quelqu’un d’autre. Cette fois-ci, je ne la laisserai pas partir, même si ça voulait dire blesser une autre fille, ou même provoquer une guerre de meute. Mais elle m’avait dit que ce n’était pas possible, qu’elle aimait quelqu’un d’autre et qu’elle avait déjà eu un enfant de lui. Déçu et désespéré, je pensais l’avoir perdue pour toujours, mais… Pourquoi est-ce que son bébé me dit quelque chose ?

Nagising si Cresia sa nakakasilaw na liwanag. Iginala niya ang paningin. She found myself lying on the cold ground. Huling naalala niya, habang pabalik siya sa condo... may nakita siyang batang babae sa kabilang bahagi ng kalsada. The girl was about to get hit by a car but she saved her. Bumangon siya at muling iginala ang tingin sa paligid. Nasaan na ang batang iniligtas niya? Where is she now? Napapikit siya nang tamaan ang mata ng sinag ng araw. Fuck. At bakit umaga na? Nakatulog ba siya sa daan? Ibinaba niya ang tingin sa sarili. She remember she was covered with blood. But how come she was perfectly fine now? Walang anumang bahid ng dugo ang damit niya... Iginalaw ni Cresia ang kamay. Wala siyang naramdamang anumang masakit doon. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang makita ang isang paparating na truck. Fuck! Her first instinct is to run. But it is too late. The truck is only meters away from her. Mariin niyang ipinikit ang mga mata at hinintay ang pagtama niyon sa kanya... But seconds passed. Nothing happened. Walang truck na tumama sa kanya. Bakit? Dahan-dahang idinilat ni Cresia ang mga mata. Wala na ang truck. Bakit? Anong nangyari? Muli niyang inalala ang nangyari kagabi... She was fucking sure she got hit by a car. Hindi kaya...hindi kaya...patay na siya? "Not yet." Isang lalaki ang biglang sumulpot sa tabi niya. Para itong galing sa libing sa suot na damit. Black cape, black pants, black shoes. Everything is black. Even his eyes. They're as dark as his outfit. "S-sino ka?" He smiled to her. Hindi alam ni Cresia kung bakit kinilabutan siya sa ngiti ng lalaki. "I'm Kairos. Your death angel." Death angel? "What? I... I'm...I'm dead?"
