Paraíso

In order to avenge Lily Bauer, an orphan staying with the Frostfang pack, Ethan Hawkins doesn't show up at the agreed time on the day of our betrothal party. He only sends his Beta to my door with a message. "Last time, you injured Lily with wolfsbane pollen, humiliating her at the pack gathering. Today is just a lesson. Apologize to Lily and send over the necklace she likes, and then we'll get betrothed." Overnight, I become the laughingstock of the entire pack. My brother, Ryan Fuller, says, "Lily just lost her parents. Let her vent her anger. Ethan is meant to be your mate anyway. Delaying your betrothal by a few days is no big deal." Really? It isn't a big deal? The Frostfang pack's ancestral token isn't something just anyone can covet. I turn around and grip the wolf-shaped crest offered by the Blackwood pack. "I accept the Blackwood pack's proposal for a mate alliance."

My fated mate, Dexter, became the Alpha King when his brother died. He inherited the crown, the power… and his brother’s widowed mate, Jenica. All because I, a half-breed, had failed for years to give him a pureblood heir. He told me he had to mark Jenica, and the pain nearly shattered me. But he held me close, kissed my tears, and swore that his wolf, his fate, had chosen only me. That I would always be his one and only Luna. I believed him. And yet, he still spent every night in her bed. Then, Jenica became pregnant. While the pack celebrated, Dexter forced me from the Luna’s suite, all so her pup could be born into the pack’s purest lunar aura. As I felt our bond unravel thread by painful thread, I sent a final, coded message to a friend in the human world. “In four days, get me out.” That night, I made a choice. My time as his mate was over.

He called me disposable. The Tribunal called me property. They both forgot what Lunaris does to cages. I was the Alpha’s kept woman for five years—his secret, his softness, his sin. Then, the night his missing Luna returned, Alpha Daire Vhaloren stood on the balcony with a cigarette dangling from his fingers and told me, without even looking, “You should go” So I did. Obedient. Quiet. Disposable. I left with his gifts, a deed to a house… and a secret I never planned to carry. Three months later, headlines screamed that Daire’s empire had collapsed. Frostveil Manor sealed. Nightmoor Covenant assets set for auction. The woman he “chose” over me, Calista Dravenne, smiled for the cameras like she hadn’t just burned his world to the ground. I tried to stay gone. Until the High Howl Tribunal branded me a recoverable asset and announced a “live appraisal” of Lot One—the pregnant omega they swore belonged to them. I went back for answers. What I found wasn’t the untouchable Alpha who dismissed me. It was a man with stubble on his jaw, a hunted kind of murder in his eyes… and a voice that made my knees weak when he said, “Why are you here, Elowen?” Because he rejected me once. Because he replaced me. Because he doesn’t know the truth. And because the bond he tried to throw away is coming for us both—along with the child he never knew I was carrying. Now Daire wants a contract marriage to save what’s left of his pack. I want revenge… and protection. But when an Alpha realizes the woman he discarded is his fated mate—and the lost heir of House Lunaris—he doesn’t beg politely. He hunts. ---

Siete años juntos con Carlos, siete años de rumores nunca confirmados.​​ Él me dejaba revisar su celular sin objeciones, reportaba cada viaje de negocios con detalles. Nunca encontré una sola prueba de infidelidad. Hasta el día de nuestra boda. Después de que el presentador narró cómo Carlos voló desde el extranjero mis rosas blancas favoritas, la pantalla gigante que debía mostrar nuestro video de siete años, de repente transmitió el llanto desgarrador de un bebé. ​​En el video, Carlos sostenía a un bebé recién nacido en una sala de hospital. Su secretaria, Serena, recostada en su hombro, usando un anillo de diamantes idéntico al mío.​​ Serena corrió hacia mí con lágrimas que era solo un malentendido, y Carlos, con tono frío: —Es una madre soltera, la ayudé por compasión como su jefe, ¿vas a hacer escándalo por esto? El silencio en el salón fue absoluto, todos esperaban mi explosión. Luego me quité tranquilamente el anillo de compromiso y se lo devolví: —Por supuesto que no. Les deseo felicidad.

Frente a la entrada del hospital, mientras una hemorragia me bañaba las piernas durante el embarazo, Leandro Rivera me dejó sola para llevar a casa a su clienta... la misma a quien le estaba tramitando el divorcio. No importó que suplicara con la mirada. No miró atrás. Solo se fue. Esa misma noche, en lugar de estar a mi lado, apareció en la publicación de la clienta en Facebook. «Qué suerte tener a mi gran abogado... ¿quién dijo que no hay sopa para la resaca? Oh, cierto... ¡yo sí la tengo!» No dormí en toda la noche. A la mañana siguiente, con una calma que no sentía, marqué el número de mi padre. —Papá, ya lo decidí. En tres días vuelvo a casa... a hacerme cargo de la empresa.

Há seis anos eu estava ao lado de Rogério Monteiro quando, certa tarde, falei sem rodeios: — Rogério, vou me casar. Ele estremeceu, e pude ver que retornava apressado de algum devaneio enquanto, um tanto embaraçado, tentava se justificar: — Aurora, você sabe que a empresa está num momento crucial de captação de recursos. Agora não tenho cabeça para... Mantive meu sorriso, ainda que fosse um tanto contido, e respondeu: — Não tem problema. Mas Rogério entendeu tudo errado. Sim, eu pretendia mesmo me casar. Só que não seria com ele.

Gideon Gray deliberately failed to arrive on time on the day of our bonding ceremony, all so that he could defend my adoptive sister. Dusk had already fallen when he finally had his Beta relay a message to me. "If you hadn't stolen Selene's necklace, she wouldn't have been upset all day. Consider this a lesson. If you don't apologize to Selene, the bonding ceremony isn't happening." Just like that, I became the laughingstock of the entire pack. Even my own brother took Selene's side. "Maybe Gideon defending her is a good thing. It'll teach you to fix that attitude of yours." I turned and walked away. Since I could not rely on my mate or my brother, I would claim the Alpha Female position myself.

Después de la muerte de Harper, mi hermana gemela, mi compañero Alfa me odió durante diez años. Por una década entera fui su Luna e intenté de todas las formas posibles complacerlo. Un día, me dijo: —Si tantas ganas tienes de darme gusto, entonces muérete. Así que, cuando vi que un camión se dirigía hacia mí, ni siquiera me moví; sin embargo, nunca esperé que Noah me empujara para salvarme. Quedó herido de gravedad. Antes de morir, me miró y susurró: —Charlotte, si nunca te hubiera conocido, todo habría sido mejor. Al funeral de Noah asistieron todos los sabios y los miembros de la manada. —Debí dejar que Noah eligiera a Harper como su Luna. Me arrepiento de haberlo obligado a escogerte en ese entonces. ¡Tú lo mataste! La madre de Noah estaba deshecha por el dolor. El padre de Noah también habló: —¿Sabes? ¡Noah te salvó la vida tres veces! Era un Alfa de tan buen corazón... ¿Por qué no te moriste tú en su lugar? Todos en el funeral me miraban con reproche. Me echaron de la ceremonia; me quedé ahí, perdida y destrozada. Tres años después, con la ayuda de una bruja y su hechizo, regresé al pasado. Esta vez, tomé una decisión diferente. Pase lo que pase, nunca volveré a ser la Luna de Noah.
