Pico X Lila

Six years ago, Lila Hart fled Manhattan with two secrets clawing beneath her ribs—secrets with silver-streaked hair and eyes that glow like fractured moonlight. Now, the past howls at her door. Her twins are changing. *Not into wolves. Into something worse.* Asher Voss, the billionaire Alpha who exiled her, arrives in a storm of rage and regret. He wants his heirs. His enemies want their blood. And Dr. Eleanor Graves, a rogue scientist with a God complex, wants to carve their DNA into a weapon. Trapped between warring packs and a love that won’t die, Lila must decide: trust the man who shattered her, or let the world burn. But when the twins’ powers awaken a primal prophecy, the real enemy emerges—a shadowed Council that’s manipulated their bloodline for centuries. Sacrifices will shatter bonds. Betrayals will rewrite loyalties. And a mother’s love? It might be the deadliest curse of all.

In a lavish mansion, innocent 19-year-old maid Lila catches her boss, Mr. James, in a forbidden moment of self-pleasure. What begins as shock ignites into a dangerous, addictive affair as he claims her body in secret risky encounters while his wife Isabelle remains in the dark.

After two years abroad in seclusion as I recovered, I received a selfie from my daughter, Lila Ashford. She was sitting on a bike, dressed in a work uniform. "Mom, you’ll be home soon, right? I miss you so much." My heart softened as I thought about how my girl had grown up. She understood that she needed to start from the bottom and work her way up. I was about to praise her when I noticed her skin seemed tanner, and her fitted shirt was the same one I’d bought her three years ago. It was frayed and worn thin, yet she still hadn’t thrown it away. As a child of the wealthiest family, Lila shouldn’t have to live like this, not even for "life experience". I zoomed in on the picture again. Her shoes were falling apart, the front gaping wide open. The more I looked, the more uneasy I became. The next second, I stumbled across Serena Ashford, my adopted daughter’s posts on social media. She was showing off male models, luxury cars, and on her wrist, the global limited-edition diamond bracelet I had given Lila. What shocked me most was the car that appeared in nearly every photo, the very one I had gifted Lila for her college graduation. How the hell had it ended up with her instead?!

Kahit ang puri ay handang ibigay ni Astrid Elaine Javier para lamang maligtas ang kapatid sa sakit nito sa puso. Pero hanggang kailan niya kakayanin ang karahasan ni Mason Hunter Sy, kung alam niyang pinaglalaruan lang siya nito at ginagawang personal clown at s*x slave?

Naging Stripper sa isang Bar si Selene matapos niyang masangkot sa isang S*x Scandal kasama ang mapapangasawa sana ng Pinsan niya. Napa-tragic no'n para sa kaniya dahil itinakwil siya ng mga mahal niya sa buhay. Kaya naman natuto siyang buhayin ang sarili sa pagbebenta ng kaniyang katawan. Ngunit hindi niya inaasahan na magku-krus muli ang landas nila ni Dreyk Sebastian... ang lalaking nakasama niya noong kinidnap siya't sapilitang pinags*x dito. Una'y inalok siya nito ng desenteng trabaho hanggang sa natuon sa pagpapakasal nito sa kaniya. Dreyk had the power and money she needed in life, kaya naman um-oo na siya. But then, as the marriage took deeper there were secrets unveiled. Dreyk impregnated a woman and so on. Would Selene surpass all the consequences of loving Dreyk? Or will her heart torn apart after hearing lies from him?

"You shouldn’t be here." Lila’s voice trembled, betraying the iron resolve she clung to. Cassian smirked, his broad frame blocking the doorway. "And yet, here I am." His gaze lingered on her, dark and hungry. "You didn’t think I’d let you go so easily, did you?" Two years ago, he shattered her heart with a rejection that still stung like a fresh wound. Now, the powerful Alpha stood in her doorway, his scent wrapping around her like a forbidden promise. "You made your choice, Cassian," she said, stepping back, even as her pulse quickened. "I’ve moved on." "Have you?" His voice was low, dangerous, as he closed the distance between them. "Because I haven’t. Every moment without you has been hell." Lila’s breath hitched as his hand brushed her cheek, the touch sparking a fire she thought had long since burned out. "You don’t get to do this," she whispered, though her body betrayed her, leaning into him. "I’ll do whatever it takes to make you mine again," he growled, his lips just a breath away from hers. "Even if I have to fight the entire world you to prove it." But Cassian isn’t the only one after her heart. And this time, Lila refuses to be anyone’s second choice.

Ich band mich gerade mit meinem Gefährten, Alpha Damien, als er ein Waisenkind nach Hause brachte, um eine „Lebensschuld“ zu begleichen.
 Von diesem Tag an stand ich immer an zweiter Stelle – hinter dem Mädchen Lila. Immer. Lila hängte mir etwas an und behauptete, ich zwang sie, die Kontrolle über ihre Wölfin zu verlieren. Dafür ließ Damien mich drei Tage und drei Nächte in die Silberzellen sperren. „Das Silber wird dir beibringen, eine tolerante Luna zu sein!“ Silbervergiftung war Folter. Meine Wölfin verkümmerte. Ich flehte um Gnade und versank in Qualen.
Doch Lila schmiegte sich nur an ihn, ihre Stimme triefte vor gespielter Besorgnis.
„Serena ist schließlich deine Gefährtin. Wenn sie leidet, leidest du auch. Es tut mir weh, dich so leiden zu sehen.“ Später, um Lila glücklich zu machen, überließ Damien ihr öffentlich meinen Sitz im Rudelrat – einem Mädchen, das nichts verstand. Diesmal sagte ich nichts. Ich trennte einfach unsere Gefährtenbindung. Tage später, als er sich vor Schmerzen wegen der zerbrochenen Bindung wand, erfuhr er schließlich die Nachricht:
Ich war der königlichen Eliteeinheit, den Talons, beigetreten. Und ich kehrte niemals zurück. Er zerbrach.

Eu tinha acabado de formar o vínculo de companheiros com meu companheiro destinado, Alfa Damien, quando ele trouxe para casa uma órfã para pagar uma “dívida de vida”. A partir daquele dia, eu sempre fiquei em segundo lugar. Atrás da garota, Lila. Sempre. Lila me incriminou, alegando que eu a tinha forçado a perder o controle da sua loba. Por causa disso, Damien me trancou nas celas de prata por três dias e três noites. — A prata vai te ensinar a ser uma Luna tolerante! O envenenamento por prata é uma tortura. Minha loba definhou. Eu implorei por misericórdia, afogando-me em agonia. Enquanto isso, Lila apenas se aninhava ao lado dele, com a voz pingando falsa preocupação. — Serena é sua companheira, afinal. Quando ela sente dor, você sente dor. Dói em mim ver você sofrer. Mais tarde, para fazer Lila feliz, Damien publicamente entregou a ela o meu assento no Conselho da Alcateia — a uma garota que não sabia absolutamente nada. Desta vez, eu não disse nada. Eu apenas rompi nosso vínculo de companheiros. Dias depois, enquanto ele se contorcia na agonia do nosso vínculo rompido, ele finalmente ouviu a notícia. Eu havia me juntado à unidade de elite real, The Talons. E eu nunca mais voltaria. Ele desmoronou.

Acababa de aparearme con mi compañero, el Alfa Damien, cuando él trajo a la manada a una huérfana para pagar una "deuda de vida". Desde ese día, pasé a un segundo plano frente a la loba, Lila. Siempre. Lila me tendió una trampa, afirmando que la obligué a perder el control de su loba. Por eso, Damien me encerró en las celdas de plata durante tres días y tres noches. —¡La plata te enseñará a cómo ser una Luna tolerante! El envenenamiento por plata es tortura. Mi loba se marchitó. Supliqué por misericordia, ahogándome en la agonía. Lila simplemente se acurrucó contra él, con su voz destilando una preocupación falsa. —Serena es tu compañera, después de todo. Cuando ella siente dolor, tú sientes dolor. Me duele verte sufrir. Más tarde, para hacer feliz a Lila, Damien le entregó públicamente mi asiento en el Consejo de la manada, a ella, una loba que no sabía nada. Esa vez, no dije nada. Simplemente corté nuestro vínculo de compañeros. Días después, mientras él se retorcía en la agonía de nuestro vínculo roto, finalmente escuchó las noticias. Yo me había unido a la unidad de élite de la realeza, The Talons. Y nunca iba a regresar. Él se hizo pedazos.
