I don't dare to get into another relationship. I pack my things and move out of the house, leaving Mom. Two years later, Mom shows up at my engagement party.

—Señor, ¿todavía tiene pepinos en su casa? Présteme uno... Un huracán se acercaba y la mejor amiga de mi hija se quedó atrapada en mi casa. Por la noche, vino a buscarme con las mejillas encendidas para pedirme un pepino, y me dijo: —Es que tengo un poco de hambre. Quiero comer un pepino para entretenerme. Al ver las dos puntitas que se le marcaban bajo el camisón, se me encendió la sangre y le dije: —Este señor tiene algo más sabroso que un pepino.

—Padrino, ¿así es la postura correcta? Estábamos en el Club Deportivo y le enseñaba a mi ahijada la técnica para entrar al agua. Briseida se inclinó, dejando su trasero bien firme en alto, y sin querer terminó rozando mi paquete. Sentí un corrientazo, una sensación eléctrica que me sacudió. Pero lo que más me excitó fue lo que pasó después de que saltara. Como era malísima para nadar, empezó a chapotear con desesperación en cuanto entró al agua y, entre tanto ajetreo, se le soltó el hilo del bikini. Me lancé de inmediato a rescatarla. Ella forcejeaba y se aferraba a mí con todas sus fuerzas, haciendo que se la rozara una y otra vez. Y lo más increíble era que su padre estaba ahí mismo, observándonos a un lado de la alberca.

—Me pica muchísimo. Mi papá salió, ayúdame a rascarme con la cuchara. En la mesa, la hija de mi amigo había comido demasiados ostiones; las hormonas se le alborotaron y el deseo se le desbordó. Llevaba una minifalda; sus piernas se abrieron hacia mí, dejando ver su tentador calzoncito blanco. Llevaba años sin estar con una mujer, y al ver la intimidad ligeramente hundida de la jovencita sentí que el cuerpo me traicionaba. Me desabroché el pantalón, saqué mi hombría y la agité frente a ella. —¿Qué tanto te va a ayudar una cuchara? Ráscate con esto.

As Christmas drew near, my little sister claimed she’d seen Santa Claus in the house. “He had four legs, real long, like dead branches. He crawled on the floor like a dog. His mouth was full of teeth, and I saw him with my own eyes, climbing out of the chimney. His bones were making this clicking, clacking sound.” The Santa she described was nothing like the legends. My parents and I thought it was just her imagination. Until I posted about it online. A user named “NocturneNotes” insisted my sister wasn’t lying, and that the thing was dangerous. Panicked, I asked him what we should do. He gave me three rules: “On Christmas Eve, from 11:30 PM to 2:00 AM, the entire family must ‘sleep’ by the Christmas tree.” “You can’t actually fall asleep, or you’ll die in your sleep.” “No matter what you hear or feel, you absolutely cannot open your eyes or stop pretending to be asleep. Once it hits 2:00 AM, it will leave on its own.”

Yvette Warren, personal secretary to billionaire Orson Cox, announced that the heiress who was accidentally switched at birth 20 years ago was living in this orphanage. Whoever could prove their identity would inherit a billion-dollar fortune. In my first life, the two-faced Laurel Marsh tricked me into giving her my keepsake to claim the family. The Coxes tore her mouth apart. "Fraud!" In my second life, my frenemy, Rebecca Vargas, tattooed a fake birthmark on herself to claim the family. The Coxes had her skin slashed to shreds. "Still a fraud!" In my third life, my sworn enemy, Vita Davidson, took out online loans to get plastic surgery, reshaping her face to resemble Orson's wife. She tried to claim the family and was thrown straight into a mastiff cage by the Coxes. By my fourth life, no one dared steal my identity anymore. They packed me up overnight and delivered me straight to the Cox residence. When the DNA test confirmed I really was the heiress, everyone thought the nightmare was finally over. But on my very first night back, the Coxes shoved me off a high-rise building. "Anyone who dares steal our real daughter's identity deserves to die!" When I opened my eyes again, Yvette was smiling as she asked who the heiress was. Everyone backed away in terror, insisting they weren't the heiress. Yvette's voice turned low and eerie. "But our investigation shows that the heiress is definitely in this orphanage."

Anomalies were descending on the world when I got thrown into a horror dungeon. The problem? I was a hopeless romantic. An even bigger problem? The dungeon’s final boss turned out to be more of a lovesick idiot than I was. The moment he saw me, he practically begged to be my personal simp.. Me: Wait… we’re doing that already? The barrage of comments exploded: “Look at him. The mighty final boss is willing to be the third wheel.” “Sorry, sweetie, but our girl already has two anomalies in line. Even if he’s the boss, he still has to take a number.”

—Padrino, me equivoqué, no volveré a ir al club nocturno... Mmm, ahí no me puedes tocar. A altas horas de la noche, en la entrada del club nocturno, una atractiva mujer con medias negras estaba tirada en la calle, tan borracha que dejaba a la vista su calzoncito blanco. Me puse eufórico y deslicé la mano por debajo de su falda. Para mi sorpresa, me confundió con su padrino y creyó que venía a darle una lección, por lo que se quedó tan asustada que no se atrevió a moverse. Aproveché la situación para separarle las piernas y me abalancé sobre ella con fuerza. —¡Padrino! ¿Por qué me castigas de esta manera? —gritó aterrada.

Mating with Kaelen, the strongest Alpha around, I thought I'd be the happiest Luna ever. That was until my Silver Moon Ceremony, the one that would officially make me Luna of the Night-fang pack. That's when I found Kaelen on his knees before some red-haired she-wolf. He was doing a blood-bond ritual, one that drains all your spirit, all to protect her kid. His kid, in her belly. For this cub, he was even willing to push back our Silver Moon Ceremony, making me look like a fool in front of the whole pack. He conveniently forgot that I was pregnant too – with his actual first heir. So, the night our Silver Moon Ceremony was supposed to happen, I started a different ritual: the Moon Eclipse Unbinding. Come the full moon, I'm using an ancient ritual from the old texts to cut our mate bond for good. And when I do, Kaelen will feel the same gut-wrenching pain I'm feeling.

When I was at my absolute poorest, I got sucked into some kind of survival game. The challenge was to survive 7 days on just 50 dollars, and the winner would walk away with a million dollars. As someone who might as well be certified as a professional at being broke, I knew exactly how to survive on next to nothing. That prize money had my name written all over it.
