The night of our mating ceremony, my destined Alpha, Alex, basically tossed a three-year temporary mate bond agreement at me. He said he only had eyes for one wolf girl, Lily, an Omega. He told me he’d wait until the day he was in charge of the pack, then he’d personally cut our mate bond. Lily would be his one and only. That was until Lily had a huge fight with him and just up and vanished. Alex, after too many nights drowning his sorrows, accidentally marked me. It seemed like he was finally starting to get that I was his real mate. He even started willingly holding me as we fell asleep. Just when I thought Alex had totally accepted me, Lily came back. To save Lily’s mom, Alex didn’t think twice about giving up his own precious life force. To make Lily happy, he publicly shamed me at the Moon Festival, even snatching the only moonstone bracelet my grandma had left me. Lily smashed the bracelet, and my heart broke right along with it. On our third bonding anniversary, Alex booked my favorite restaurant, wanting to say sorry. But what he didn't know was that I’d already broken our mate bond. I wasn't going back.

Quando eu tinha sete anos, o papai trouxe pra casa uma mulher bonita. Ela me deu uma caixa de mangas. Naquele dia, enquanto eu comia as mangas toda feliz, a mamãe assinou o acordo de divórcio e se jogou do prédio. Desde então, manga virou o meu pesadelo. Por isso, no dia do meu casamento, eu disse pro meu marido, Ivan Ribeiro: — Se algum dia quiser se divorciar de mim, basta me dar uma manga. Ele me abraçou em silêncio. Desde então, manga também virou o tabu dele. No quinto ano de casamento, na véspera de Natal, a amiguinha de infância dele, Rafaela Lima, deixou uma manga em cima da mesa do escritório. No mesmo dia, Ivan anunciou o fim da amizade com Rafaela e a demitiu da empresa. Naquele momento, eu achei que ele era o homem da minha vida. Mas meio ano depois, voltei do exterior com um contrato de um bilhão fechado. Na festa de comemoração, Ivan me entregou um copo de bebida. Depois de meio copo, Rafaela, a mulher que ele havia expulsado da empresa, apareceu atrás de mim, sorrindo: — Tá gostoso o suco de manga? Olhei pro meu marido, incrédula, enquanto Ivan tentava segurar o riso: — Não fica brava, a Rafaela insistiu pra eu fazer uma brincadeira com você. — Eu nem te dei uma manga de verdade, só um suco de manga. — Mas olha, acho que ela tem razão, o seu problema com manga é exagero! — Você estava bebendo toda animada agora há pouco! De cara fechada, levantei a mão e joguei o resto do suco no rosto dele. Depois, virei as costas e fui embora. Algumas coisas nunca são brincadeira. Manga não é. E o meu pedido de divórcio também não.

No meu vigésimo aniversário, meus pais trouxeram fotos de herdeiros de todo o país e as colocaram diante de mim, pedindo que eu escolhesse alguém para um casamento arranjado. Eu disse ao meu pai que queria decidir por sorteio. Só porque, na vida passada, escolhi sem hesitar o cobiçado herdeiro de Cidade Lima, o ilustre Carlos Uchoa, de quem eu já gostava há tempos. Mas só descobri depois do casamento que a primeira paixão dele ficou tão arrasada com isso que saiu para um bar, afogou as mágoas e acabou sendo abusada por uns marginais. Ela tentou se suicidar três vezes, e Carlos colocou toda a culpa em mim. Ele deu toda a fortuna da minha família para a primeira paixão dele, esvaziando completamente o patrimônio dos Lemos. Por fim, ele ainda permitiu que ela cortasse o freio do carro, causando o acidente em que meus pais e eu morremos de forma trágica. Ao renascer, desta vez acabei sorteando o herdeiro mais respeitado, distante e celibatário de Cidade Real, Francisco Costa. Mas, na festa de noivado, quando eu, Estela Lemos, entrei de braço dado com Francisco, chamando toda a atenção, Carlos simplesmente perdeu o juízo.

El mundo humano fue invadido por vampiros y hombres lobo. Mis padres nobles, para complacerlos, nos entregaron a mí y a la falsa heredera en matrimonio. En mi vida pasada, la impostora Serafina eligió al hombre lobo: fuerte y leal. Yo, en cambio, escogí al vampiro: elegante y noble. La noche de luna llena, el hombre lobo en celo devoró a Serafina hasta los huesos. Y yo, tras recibir el Abrazo del vampiro, obtuve la inmortalidad. Pero mis padres, ciegos de dolor, me drogaron y me arrojaron a la cama del hombre lobo. Entre garras y colmillos, morí desgarrada. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba otra vez en el día del sorteo. Esa vez, la impostora volcó la urna y, entre mimos, gritó que quería al vampiro: —Hermana, esta vez la inmortalidad será mía. Yo no puse objeción y acepté al hombre lobo brutal. Renacida, Serafina seguía siendo igual de estúpida, creyendo que la felicidad se consigue a costa de un hombre. Pero lo que yo deseo... es liberar a toda la humanidad.

Di tengah malam, aku berlutut lemas di ambang jendela, terengah-engah dengan napas berat, dan air liurku menetes tanpa bisa kucegah. Di belakangku, teman sekelas anakku dari sekolah olahraga itu merobek stoking hitamku dengan kasar, lalu meraba pantatku yang bulat dan montok. Dia mencengkeram rambutku erat dan berbisik dengan nada menggoda, "Tante, apa anakmu tahu, kalau kamu seliar ini?" Tepat saat itu, ayahnya juga masuk. "Nak, kamu masih kecil, banyak hal yang belum kamu pahami. Ayah akan mengajarimu..."
