Perdão

"I will take her in exchange," Alpha Dante declared, and the ball room instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to the said girl. Whispers filled the ballroom, although it was rather useless since everyone could hear them clearly with their heightened senses. Rhea, the object of discussion, stood there in tattered clothes, confused and seemingly lost. She never wanted to draw so much attention to herself, but here she was with everyone's eyes on her because of a single statement from one man. "I am sorry, Alpha Dante, you must be mistaken, that is not my daughter..." Alpha Collins said but was rudely interrupted by Alpha Dante. "She is the one I want,” Alpha Dante said coldly. “Give her to me or forget about our deal.” ***** Born a mix of blood, half vampire, and half werewolf, Rhea was neither considered a werewolf nor a vampire. Just someone who wasn't needed. Someone who shouldn't exist. Someone whose existence was an abomination. Her father's absence in her life and her mother's passing rendered Rhea homeless, nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. She is forced to fend for herself from an early age, serving as a maid in the packhouse despite being hated and scorned by all. Dante, an alpha whose path had always been painted Scarlet, cursed by the moon goddess, walked a lone and bloodied path. He never asked for a mate and never wanted one after all. He was cursed by the very entity their race worships. He never thought he needed one until he met her. For the first time, he felt his heart waver, his silent beast stirred in the presence of another and definitely not out of hostility.

La familia Torres estaba al borde de la ruina cuando vinieron a pedirme que me casara con su hijo. Mi papá, sabiendo que llevaba diez años completamente enamorada de Nelson Torres, aceptó el matrimonio y, para colmo, invirtió una fortuna para sacarlos del desastre. La noche de bodas, Nelson me vendó los ojos con una corbata y me tomó una y otra vez. Un mes después, llena de felicidad, fui a buscarlo con el informe de embarazo en la mano, pero lo que escuché me dejó completamente congelada. Estaba en un bar, apostando a lo grande con sus amigos: —A ver, muchachos, ¿qué opinan? ¿Quién de ustedes cree que es el padre del bebé de Sofía Reyes, después de que se la cogieron entre varios? Uno de sus amigos soltó una carcajada grosera: —Señor Torres, yo solo le di tres veces... No me diga que es mío, ¿o sí? —Yo apuesto a que fue Paco, ese tipo se lució esa noche, Sofía casi se vuelve loca. ¡Le aposté diez mil dólares a que es de él! Fue en ese momento cuando entendí que, en realidad, no había sido Nelson con quien pasé la noche de bodas, sino con más de diez de sus supuestos amigos. Enloquecí y fui directo a confrontarlo, pero a él no le importó ni un poco. —¿Por qué tanto drama, si solo estás llorando? Si no fuera por la presión de tu familia, jamás me habría casado contigo. Si no hubieras obligado a Juana a irse, nunca te habría tratado así. —Escúchame bien, Sofía, el día que Juana me perdone, entonces sí, te dejaré en paz. Con el corazón destrozado, pedí el divorcio, pero él usó el video de esa noche para chantajearme y me metió en el sótano. —No te creas que te vas a ir tan fácil. Mis amigos y yo seguimos haciendo apuestas para ver quién es el papá de ese bastardo. Ocho meses después, allí, en ese sótano, perdí a mi bebé... y mi vida. Cuando abrí los ojos, volví al día en que los Torres me pidieron que me casara con Nelson para salvarlos. Esta vez, el día de mi boda, Nelson estaba llorando desconsolado.

Todos sabían que yo, Isabella Marino, era la mayor debilidad de Vince Moretti: lo único que el jefe de la mafia nunca toleraría que fuera tocado. Hace años, cuando fui secuestrada, Vince se desarmó a punta de pistola, arriesgando la muerte para recuperarme, incluso pagando toda su fortuna por mi rescate. Para mantenerme a salvo, caminó al borde del abismo, navegando el peligro a cada paso. Después de que quedé embarazada, me atendía sin descanso, apenas permitiendo que mis pies tocaran el suelo. Había rumores de que mantenía a una amante mimada afuera, una mujer a la que malcriaba sin límites. Nunca les creí. Pero entonces ella se pavoneó frente a mí. Para rogar por mi perdón, Vince se cortó su propio dedo. Al día siguiente, esa mujer me mostró en la cara los resultados de su prueba de embarazo, burlándose y diciendo: —¡Vince quería tanto un bebé conmigo que simplemente no pudo evitarlo! Ya estaba frágil. La conmoción y la rabia me llevaron a un aborto espontáneo.

Estuve ocho años con un hombre divorciado. Nos separamos noventa y cuatro veces y nos divorciamos cinco. Una más, y sería la número cien, pero me cansé. La primera ruptura fue la noche que le entregué mi primera vez: dejó todo a medias porque su ex lo llamó para comprar pan. La quinta, cuando me abandonó embarazada en plena carretera para consolar a esa misma mujer. Tuve un accidente, perdí al bebé… y él llegó después, desarreglado, como si nada. Y aun con todo el dolor que me causó, nunca tuve el valor de dejarlo del todo. La última vez que nos divorciamos fue por otra razón absurda: su ex y su hijo participarían en un programa familiar, y para cuidar la imagen de familia feliz, volvió a divorciarse. Cuando el show terminó, me llamó para hablar de reconciliarnos. Pero esta vez dije que no… porque ya había decidido casarme con otro.

Blurb: "No, please stop! You can't do this," I cried out, breathlessly. He chuckled with a mischievous glint. "Can't do what exactly?"
