Monkey D Luffy And Ace

Three days before my marking ceremony, someone set fire to the bridal shop while I was inside trying on my ceremonial dress. Alpha Marcus threw the arsonist into the pack prison, sentencing them to the harshest punishment our laws allowed. I lay in the hospital bed, my body covered in third-degree burns, refusing to wake fully as the reality of my disfigurement sank in. In my semi-conscious state, I heard Marcus speaking with the pack's healing witch. "Alpha, we can still heal her completely with the ancient magic. If we wait any longer, Sarah will bear these scars for life! You just want Miss Rachel to be your Luna at the marking ceremony. This is cruel beyond measure!" "Let her keep the scars. I'll provide for her for the rest of her life, but if she's healed, she'll definitely cause trouble at the marking ceremony." "I promised Rachel that her pup would be welcomed into the pack with full honors. Only when Sarah is completely disfigured will she be grateful enough to raise Rachel's child as her own. The scars are necessary - at least this way, she won't dare mistreat the pup." In the corner of the room, where no one was watching, a tear slid down my burned cheek. So this was the truth. The marking ceremony I'd dreamed of was nothing but a lie. The mate bond I longed for would be my death sentence. If that's how it had to be, I would give him what he wanted.

La boda con Diego Velázquez, heredero al reino, se vio empañada por la tragedia. María de Mendoza, la hija adoptiva de Lola —la nana que había cuidado a Diego desde niño—, se quitó la vida. La encontraron ahorcada, vestida con un traje de novia. El vino de la boda resbaló de las manos de Diego. Tras un largo silencio, soltó con voz fría, sin una pizca de emoción: —Dale una buena suma de dinero a Lola. Y asegúrate de que María tenga un entierro digno. Y no dijo más. Continuó con la ceremonia como si nada hubiera pasado, como si aquello no le afectara. Cinco años después, la víspera de que Diego ascendiera al trono, recibí la noticia: no podía tener hijos. Me envió a un convento, donde pasaría el resto de mis días, con la condición de no volver a pisar el palacio. Esa misma noche, me mostró una fotografía de María y, sin inmutarse, me dijo: —Cuando ella murió, llevaba mi hijo. Si no fuera por la influencia de tu familia en la corte, dime, ¿cómo habríamos terminado casándonos? ¿Y qué habría sido de María? —Carmen Pimentel, no sirves ni para ser madre. Quédate aquí, reza y paga por tus pecados. Ora por el alma de María y de nuestro hijo. En menos de un año, mi familia Pimentel fue acusada de traición y todos fueron ejecutados. Yo, por mi parte, morí de un infarto, desangrándome por la boca. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, me encontré de vuelta en el día de mi boda, justo antes de entrar al palacio.

The wedding had reached the part where the groom kissed the bride. I closed my eyes and leaned in to kiss Stella Stafford, only to end up with a mouthful of fur. Her assistant held up the camera and burst out laughing. "The almighty Mr. Rowe can't even tell if he's kissing a person or a dog?" I stared at the Husky in front of me, its tongue lolling out, and felt my stomach churn. I was about to lay into him when Stella stepped in to block me. "It was just a joke. No hard feelings." Laurent Reilly smirked smugly, his tone dripping with arrogance. "And guess what? This Husky happens to be a female, so why don't you just marry her instead? You're not good enough for Stella anyway." The employees erupted in laughter. Mortified, I kicked him square in the chest, sending him sprawling. The next second, Stella smashed a wine bottle over my head and demanded an apology. I wiped the mix of wine and blood from my face, then dialed an overseas number with a cold grin. "The wedding is short one bride. You in?"
