Proteção No Morro: Dona Marta

Buried deep in the Aster estate was the Heartwood—ancient, sacred, mine. Told my husband, Julian Aster—back when he actually listened—that if it ever fell, I'd die with it. At first, he freaked out. Flew in glacier water, hired a whole squad of plant experts to nurture it 24/7. Then one day, just because his childhood friend—Isabella Duvall—got a scratch from the bark, Julian had the Heartwood ripped out. The second it crashed, I choked on glowing blood—ichor. My power? Gone. Barely standing, I grabbed his arm. "You knew. If the Heartwood dies, I—" He laughed. Straight-up mocked me. "Sera, come on. That fairy tale? Only Grandma still believes that crap. Is that mayo on your mouth? Relax—it's a tree. I'll buy you a forest if you want." Overnight, my hair turned gray. Skin cracked. Eyes dulled. Still, I dragged myself to his grandmother, Henrietta. "I kept your family safe for two hundred years. That's why the Asters thrived. But the Heartwood's gone. Debt's paid. One day left. Whatever happens next? Not my problem."

"You're overreacting," he said, stepping toward me. "What we had was... biological. The mate bond is just instinct. What Jade and I have is real love." Tehila Morrison has hidden her fated mate bond for months, watching in silence as the man destined for her, Dalton, publicly courts her own sister, Jade. On the day of their engagement announcement, Tehila finds the courage to expose the truth, revealing her mate mark and their secret history. But her bravery backfires. Dalton rejects her publicly, calling their bond a "mistake," and her entire pack, including her own parents, sides with her betrayers. Humiliated and alone, Tehila's world shatters. Just as she is about to be punished for her defiance, the pack hall is stormed by the most feared wolf on the continent: Zane Darius, the Rogue King. He stuns everyone by claiming Tehila, offering her sanctuary to repay a life-debt she never knew she was owed. Forced to flee everything she's ever known, Tehila is thrown into a new world of danger and conspiracy. She learns her old pack is rotting from the inside, entangled with a secret enemy. Caught between the rogue king who offers her protection and the fated mate who shattered her heart, Tehila must discover who she is when she has nothing left to lose. But the betrayals are far from over, and her mate's greatest sin may not have been choosing another, but the lies he told to keep her.

Mi novio fue diagnosticado con cáncer y necesitaba un trasplante de hígado. Cuando supe que yo era compatible, no dudé ni un segundo en aceptar la operación. Me extirparon dos tercios del hígado. El dolor era insoportable, pero en cuanto recuperé la conciencia, corrí a ver cómo estaba él. Frente a la puerta, escuché su conversación con un amigo. —Eres un genio, Javier. Nadie más podría idear una forma de venganza tan cabrona. Javier Morales soltó una risa burlona. —Si no fuera porque no quería armar tanto escándalo, hasta le habría quitado un riñón solo por diversión. —Por su culpa, Elena fracasó en el examen de ingreso a la universidad y tuvo que irse al extranjero. En un mes regresará, y en ese momento me despediré de Lucía para siempre.

Elle pensait avoir fui les siens. Elle a couru droit vers celui-ci. Luna, 21 ans, rebelle au sarcasme affûté et au passé brumeux, débarque dans une meute qu’elle ne connaît pas, sous la “protection” d’un Alpha beaucoup trop séduisant pour être honnête. Drakos, mi-dieu nordique, mi-boulet autoritaire, ne la lâche pas d’une semelle. Officiellement pour sa sécurité. Officieusement, parce qu’elle est la clef d’un pouvoir ancien… et d’un secret qui pourrait tous les détruire. Entre entraînements musclés, batailles de regards brûlants, missions foireuses et révélations surnaturelles, Luna va devoir choisir : fuir encore, ou faire face à ce qu’elle est vraiment. Mais comment accorder sa confiance quand l’homme qui la fait vibrer est peut-être celui qui a été chargé de la livrer ? Et surtout… que faire quand la Lune saigne, que les visions deviennent réalité, et que ton cœur s’attache à ta propre malédiction ?
