This Christmas was actually one of my favorite and hilarious Xmas celebrations with uncle Gabriel here with us. It was fun and embarrassing too which made everything much of a sweet memory later on.

It began with little Josh's scandal, grandpa's embarrassment in the mall that day when he actually and mistakenly took his voter's card to the mall instead of his payment card.

The night I came of age, the vampire prince Damon couldn’t wait to drag me to his bed. He took me with a desperate, wild hunger that lasted all night long. My body ached, but my heart was full. I’d been his blood servant for ten years. I thought he was finally ready to give me the Embrace, to make me his forever. But after, as he held me and talked on the phone with my foster brother, I heard Marcus ask him in Latin, “So, Master, how did my little sister taste? You know how many men would kill to be in your place? They all think she's a goddess.” Damon's lips curled. “Not bad. A little green. Not nearly wild enough for my tastes.” Marcus laughed. “Well, she's been hopelessly devoted to you since she was a kid. Never even dated.” Then Damon’s voice lowered. “Don't tell Serena about Elena. I have to marry a noble vampire like her in the end, and I don't want her upset.” “A little human like Elena… she's just good for practice.” But Damon didn't know I'd secretly learned Latin just to feel worthy of him. Hearing that, I didn't say a word. I just quietly changed my college application from the University of New Orleans to my dream school, University of Oxford.

Durante los últimos dos meses, he estado recibiendo fotos. Fotos de mi compañero destinado, Andrew, apareandose con su amante, Crystal, una Omega seductora. [Querida Luna, Andrew me dejó tantas marcas anoche. Dijo que soy la única que le ha hecho sentir un orgasmo de verdad.] [Ah, ¿y esa famosa capacidad de consuelo de la que estás tan orgullosa? Yo también la tengo. Él dice que ahora puedo reemplazarte por completo.] [No te preocupes, cuidaré bien de tu compañero por ti.] En las fotos, una mancha del lápiz labial de Crystal era una mancha evidente sobre la marca de compañero de Andrew. Al mirar esos mensajes, la incredulidad se transformó en desesperación y, finalmente, en un entumecimiento frío y duro. Hasta esa noche, cuando la Diosa de la Luna finalmente respondió a mis oraciones desesperadas. Podía sacrificar la mitad de mi don de consuelo por una oportunidad de romper nuestro vínculo de compañeros por mi cuenta. En siete días, finalmente dejaría a Andrew para siempre.

Je suis revenue à la vie, la veille de mon mariage. La première chose que j'ai faite ? J’ai échangé mon futur mari avec celui de ma sœur. La dernière fois, j'avais épousé Julian, un magnat de la technologie au tempérament doux. Il n'avait pas supporté mon caractère fougueux, et moi, je ne supportais pas sa mollesse. Notre mariage avait sombré en moins d'un an. Ma sœur, douce et timide, devait épouser Robin Kane dans le cadre d’un mariage arrangé, le Don de la plus grande famille criminelle de New York. Elle ne supportait pas cette vie brutale et chaotique. Tourmentée par Isabella, la prétendue amoureuse d'enfance de Robin, elle était tombée dans une profonde dépression et en était morte. Alors, quand je suis revenue, j'ai pris une décision : ce serait moi qui épouserais le Don. Mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce qu'après le mariage, le Don froid et impassible devienne un homme totalement différent. Chaque nuit, il était au-dessus de moi, m'embrassant comme s'il était obsédé, murmurant : « Ma belle… je vais te faire du bien. Encore une fois… juste une de plus, bébé ? »

Eu renasci, voltando para o dia antes do meu casamento. A primeira coisa que fiz? Troquei de noivo com a minha irmã. Da última vez, me casei com Julian, um magnata da tecnologia de temperamento calmo. Ele não conseguia lidar com o meu jeito explosivo, e eu não suportava o quanto ele era fraco. Nosso casamento desmoronou em menos de um ano. Minha irmã, doce e tímida, estava em um casamento arranjado com Robin Kane, o Don da maior organização criminosa de Nova York. Ela não conseguiu suportar aquela vida brutal e caótica. Atormentada por Isabella, a suposta "paixão de infância" de Robin, acabou caindo em uma depressão profunda… e morreu. Então, quando tive uma segunda chance, tomei uma decisão. Eu seria a mulher que se casaria com o Don. Mas eu nunca esperei que, depois do casamento, aquele Don frio e implacável se tornaria um homem completamente diferente. Todas as noites, ele me prendia contra o corpo, me beijando como se fosse obcecado, sussurrando: — Boa garota… vou fazer você se sentir bem… só mais uma vez, baby…
