Neville Longbottom Now And Then

“Is this what you wanted?” He sneers, eyes cold and unforgiving. It was as if I was looking into the eyes of a stranger.

“Kahit minsan ba nagawa mo akong mahalin sa tatlong taon nating pagsasama?” Pinahid ni Felicia ang mga luhang walang tigil sa pagpatak mula sa kanyang mga mata at nagpatuloy. “Kahit katiting lang?” Batid ni Felicia na sa pagbigkas niya ng mga salitang iyon ay itinapon na niya ang lahat ng kanyang natitirang dignidad. Gusto niyang sabunutan ang sarili dahil sa ginagawa niyang kamartiran. Hindi ito deserve ni Xander dahil sa mga pinaggagawa nito sa kanya. Subalit tila ba may sariling buhay ang kanyang puso sapagkat kahit na anong gawin ng lalaki sa kanya ay nangingibabaw pa rin ang kanyang pagmamahal para rito. Marahas na binawi ni Xander ang kanyang braso. “What do you think, woman? What do you think is my answer?” Napalunok si Felicia. “N-Nainitidihan ko,” she answered softly. “Xander… I am sorry if my love made you this miserable.” ************* Sa loob ng tatlong taon, umasa si Felicia na matututunan din siyang mahalin ni Alexander Buenaventura. Subalit ni katiting na pagmamahal ay hindi siya tinapunan ng lalaki. Sa halip, matinding galit at pagkapoot ang namayani sa puso ng binata dahil sa paniniwala nitong minanipula ni Felicia ang kanyang lola upang sila'y maikasal. Finally, Felicia had enough. She left Xander and moved on with her life. Ipinagpatuloy ni Felicia ang naudlot niyang pangarap, ang pagdo-doktor. Pinilit niyang kalimutan ang lalaking dumurog sa kanyang puso, kasama ang naging bunga ng kanilang una’t huli pagniniig, si Caleb. Sa loob ng anim na taon, naging mapayapa ang buhay ni Felicia. Subalit isang araw, muling nag-krus ang mga landas nila ni Xander. At sa pagkakataong ito, gagawin ni Xander ang lahat upang bumalik siya sa kanya.

I married Zephyrus Jones under a one-year contract—walang sabit, walang emosyon, puro pirma lang at katahimikan. Kailangan niya ng asawa para sa billion-dollar deal. Kailangan ko ng pera para mailigtas si Papa. We lived like strangers under one roof… hanggang sa dumating ang araw na iniwan niya ako—papers signed, puso kong wasak, at mga pangakong hindi natupad. Sabi niya, may mahal na siyang iba. Sabi niya, never akong naging parte ng plano. Kaya nag-divorce kami. Apat na taon ang lumipas, bumalik ako—hindi para sa kanya, kundi para sa sarili ko. Pero nang muli ko siyang makita, he wasn’t the cold-hearted man I once knew. Ngayon, he looks at me like I’m the only thing that matters. Ang problema? Natuto na akong mabuhay nang wala siya. At ngayong bumalik siya sa buhay ko… hindi niya alam na may kambal kaming anak—at wala akong balak sabihin sa kanya.

He took her innocence on a cruel dare. Now he wants her as his mate—unaware he’s already the father of her secret child. ***** Jade was always the outcast—curvy, shy, and the target of constant ridicule from her brother’s best friend, Damien. He bullied her, teased her, and made a brutal bet to take her virginity… a bet he won. Then he left her broken and rejected. Years later, Damien has risen to become the powerful Alpha of the pack—wealthy, dominant, and dangerously irresistible. When he discovers that Jade is a rare psychic witch, he returns—not with apologies, but with a claim. He demands she become his mate, not knowing that he already fathered her secret baby girl. Jade wants nothing to do with him. But Alphas don’t ask. They take. And Damien takes everything—her body, her obedience, her freedom. He forces her into a mating ritual, determined to bind her to him forever. Yet as much as Jade resents him, her body still remembers the fire he once ignited. And when he touches her, her resolve starts to unravel. But secrets never stay buried. What will happen when Damien learns the truth about the daughter he never knew existed? Will he protect the family he unknowingly created—or destroy them all over again?

My son, Tim, was kidnapped by a group of rogues. My husband, Alpha Kieran, spared no effort, using every resource at his disposal to find him. Finally, he tracked him down to an pub training center nearby. But when Tim regained consciousness, he discovered that he was disabled. As the only son of Kieran, destined to inherit his father’s title, he couldn’t bear the reality of his condition. Despair consumed him, and in his grief, he attempted to take his own life by drowning himself in the lake within our territory. I arrived too late. By the time I pulled him from the water, my strength was nearly gone. Kieran rushed me to the pack hospital, holding me close as he whispered into my ear, "Please, Selene, stay with me. I cannot lose you too." But after my surgery, as I lay in bed, I overheard Kieran speaking to his Beta, Damon, in the hallway. "Alpha, sacrificing the rescue mission that could have saved Tim seemed… excessive. Finding another heart donor wouldn’t have been impossible. Using Tim’s—he was your only son with Luna Selene." "I allowed him to be born because I knew he could save my daughter. I’ve already raised him long enough. It’s only right that he gives me what I need now." "And the doctor said siblings have a better chance of surviving heart transplants. Ana is my most precious child—I won’t risk her suffering another heart attack." Kieran’s words shattered me. He was my fated mate, the love of my life. Yet he had sacrificed our son—our son—to save the bastard child he had with his mistress. The marriage I once cherished, the fated mate I once believed in, had now become my own personal hell.

The biggest mistake I had ever made was falling in love with my Alpha stepbrother, Cayden Gates. I was 12 when my mom remarried, and he was the only one in the new pack who treated me kindly. I fell for him at first sight. When I was 16, I was attacked by rogue wolves, and he fought off ten of them alone to protect me. At 18, he was poisoned by silver. He nearly died. That was when my wolf told me he was my fated mate. Without hesitation, I donated my bone marrow to save him. That night, watching him asleep with a pale face, I couldn't help but kiss the corner of his lips. He opened his eyes at that exact moment, his face flushing red. "Tessa, we're siblings. You shouldn't cross that line." From then on, he started avoiding me, like I was a mistake he couldn't afford to make. His fiancée, Rosie Lloyd, had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease, and I was the only compatible donor. For the first time, he pleaded with me. "If you're willing to save her, I'll agree to anything." But I was already weak from the marrow transplant. Giving blood again might kill me. I said no, and Rosie died in the end. He didn't shed a single tear, like nothing had happened. But at her funeral, he smashed the portrait I'd painted of him in front of everyone and said coldly, "How filthy of you to dream of being with your own brother." Later, I became a disgrace, a walking joke. Humiliation and despair swallowed me whole, and in a haze, I fell into the lake and drowned. When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment he begs me for blood. I say yes calmly. I consider it the final debt I owe the Gates family. Cayden, from now on, we're done. There are no more ties between us.

He asked for her body. Her loyalty. Her womb. And in return, he gave her a betrayal so cruel it broke something sacred. Nadia was never Greg’s love, just a placeholder for the woman he truly wanted. Used, discarded, and left bleeding in the woods like a broken toy. But fate wasn’t done with her yet. Varic, the cold-blooded Alpha with a vendetta of his own, finds her at her lowest and offers her everything: power, protection and revenge. In exchange, she becomes his Queen. What started as a fake alliance turns into something savage. Something possessive. Because Nadia isn’t just a forgotten omega anymore. She’s the spark of a bloodline long buried. She’s the mate he never wanted.
