Quando O Amor Desafia A Razão

The life cycle of a butterfly lasts for an average of thirty days. In human time that was nothing. Within that thirty days the butterfly would go through the craziest of cycles, starting as an egg enclosed within a shell that is both impenetrable and fragile. Then that shell would break to let out a creature that was hideous and scary and weird. Soon the creature would enclose itself completely for the second time, never to be seen like that again. It was a period of transformation. In thirty days, a butterfly's life will be complete, coming out of the cocoon as a changed and majestic creature. But humans aren't butterflies and thirty days weren't enough. Book cover credits to the amazing A-Graphics (@hiagraphics). Check her works on https://www.facebook.com/hiagraphics/

My childhood friend used to be a gifted young artist until he fell in love with the most beautiful girl on campus. I told his parents about it, and he was forced to study abroad. Eventually, he took control of the family business, and I became one of his employees. Following his orders, my boss drugged my drink and sent me to the room of a business associate. I was subjected to humiliation and torture until I died.I woke up again, realizing that I had been transported back in time to a point before all of these events had occurred.

Minha irmã adotiva, Sophia, a última loba branca puro-sangue da vila Grell, foi violentada e torturada até a morte por um lobo rebelde desconhecido. A carta de suicídio dela continha apenas uma frase: “Lina viu o rosto dele.” A partir daquele dia, me tornei a maior pecadora da alcateia. Porque eu sabia quem era o assassino, mas permaneci calada por cinco anos. Até que meu irmão adotivo Damien, o Alfa mais poderoso da América do Norte, retornou. Ele trouxe de volta o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma e arrancou à força as memórias da minha alma de loba. Todos os lobisomens que tiveram o Dispositivo de Visão da Alma usado neles morreram ou enlouqueceram. Minha loba foi torturada repetidamente dentro do dispositivo, mas Damien reprimiu a dor nos olhos e rugiu: — Quando eu descobrir a verdade, vou mandar você e o assassino para o inferno juntos. Mas quando finalmente descobriram a verdade, Damien enlouqueceu.

Eu entrei no livro e virei a bela figurante sem importância. E o meu irmão é o único homem normal da história, porque o papel dele é o de primeiro amor frio, abstinente e inalcançável que a protagonista jamais consegue conquistar. Quando a protagonista chora e se declara para ele, ele está estudando. Quando a protagonista quer se entregar de corpo e alma, ele está empreendendo. Enquanto a protagonista se perde entre vários homens, ele já se tornou um magnata, com renda anual nas centenas de bilhões. Eu achava que ele viveria uma vida inteira de pureza e autocontrole. Até que, certa noite, vi ele segurando uma peça da minha roupa nas mãos, murmurando o meu nome em voz baixa...

Revenge. Iyan ang nasa isip ni Shianna Viacera simula noong bata pa lamang siya at nang mamatay ang kan'yang minamahal na ama. She was all alone, her mother cheated and married her stepfather matapos mamatay ng kan'yang totoong ama. At kahit nasa isang makapangyarihan siyang angkan na kilala sa buong mundo ay hindi naging maayos ang kan'yang buhay. Her relatives see her as a great threat dahil siya lang naman ang nag-iisang lehitimong tagapagmana ng Viacera LLC. But that fact caused her to carry the weight of her position all alone. Not until she was engaged to a man she didn't love. Due to extreme anger she felt and the urge to ruin her engagement, she decided to have a one-night stand with her biggest enemy: Vincent Aurelius, the CEO of Aurelius Corporation.

And now, the revenge she was planning from the start had worsen. She didn't expect that her relatives, Vincent, and her enemies are more ruthless. That's why... she declared war. And she's willing to be obsessed with revenge just to win. Yes.

“After drinking the potion, your wolf scent will be completely altered and your mate bond will be broken. Are you sure you want to do this?” The witch looked at me in surprise. "I'm sure." I nodded calmly and drank the potion without hesitation. My Alpha mate, Lucas, marked me three years ago but never held a formal mating ceremony because he spent three years designing a wedding dress for me himself. That was until a week before the ceremony, when I watched Lucas with my own eyes as he draped that Luna gown over my sister, Seraphina—who had been missing for three years. Even my beloved Beta twin brothers, who doted on me the most, were gathered around Seraphina. Seraphina and I were twin sisters. I had a crush on Lucas for ten years, but I knew Lucas had always loved her. However, three years ago, when the pack was on the verge of extinction after an attack by rogue wolves, Seraphina ran away, abandoning everyone. When everyone was in despair, I fought with all my might to protect everyone until Lucas and my brothers returned. I almost died in that battle. Lucas, trembling, held my hand and asked if I would be his mate. He said I had saved the entire pack, that I was the bravest she-wolf. My brothers also swore that Seraphina, that coward, had been banished from the family. They said that from now on, I was their only sister. Until two days ago, when Seraphina returned. She claimed that she didn't run away but left to lure away a more vicious pack of rogues. She said she had been poisoned with silver toxicity during the fight and only had a month to live. Lucas and my brothers believed her without hesitation. To make up for the three years they "owed" her, and to fulfill Seraphina's "dying wish," they decided—to give my Mating Ceremony to her. After drinking the potion, I sent a message to the Alpha King of the Northern Territory: I am willing to join the Northern Territory. Help me stage a fake death in a week.

Implorei ao meu marido trezentas e quatro vezes até que ele finalmente concordasse em me acompanhar para levar meu pai ao mar, em sua última jornada nesta vida. Mas, enquanto eu estava na praia e o calor do corpo do meu pai esvaía-se pouco a pouco na cadeira de rodas. Não vi nem sinal do meu marido. A amada dele publicou uma foto nas redes sociais. Era uma imagem dos dois olhando as nuvens nos vales. [Longe do mundo, basta ter você.] Meu dedo escorregou e acabei curtindo a foto. Imediatamente, recebi uma mensagem dele me questionando: — Quantas vezes já te disse para não incomodar a Rita? Se não consegue controlar as próprias mãos, nós vamos nos divorciar! Já nem me lembro de quantas vezes ele usou o divórcio para me ameaçar. Eu, Laura Souza, já estava farta de escutar aquilo. — Tudo bem, vamos nos divorciar.

In my fifth year of marriage to Dominic, I'd become the woman all of Chicago knew as the crazy one — the mental case. Jealousy gnawed at me constantly, and my temper frayed easily, my emotions sharp and unsteady, unravelling more with each passing day. So it only made sense when he slid a divorce agreement across the table. "Vivian's pregnant. A Harrington heir can't be born illegitimate, and Mrs. Harrington can't be a lunatic." "Once she's had the baby, I’ll marry you again, and you'll still be Mrs. Harrington." I was forced to sign my name, then locked away in a private sanatorium a hundred miles from the city. The first year, I waited with desperate hope for him to come take me home. Instead, he handed me an ultrasound report. "Twins — a boy and a girl. Vivian's pregnant again. Just wait a little longer." The second year, he had electric fencing installed around the sanatorium grounds. "Harrington Corp is going public. We can't afford any slip-ups right now." By the fifth year, he simply called to tell me to wait one more year. He must have expected me to scream and lose control the way I always did. But this time, I just nodded calmly. "Alright. However long it takes." After all. I didn't have much time left anyway.
