Raison D'être

I had just left the hospital after undergoing a dilation and curettage procedure for uterine fibroids. On the bus, I happened to encounter a woman who was crying and claiming she had menstrual cramps and a terrible stomachache, asking me to give up my seat. But I refused. I never expected the woman to be the famous internet influencer, Bella Marsh. While I was completely unprepared, she started a livestream, and the next day, I was violently attacked online and pushed onto the trending searches. Netizens even dug up the record of my procedure at the hospital. “With a uterine wall that thin, it’s obvious she has had so many failed pregnancies.” “No wonder she was so shameless and refused to give up her seat—turns out she’s a despicable woman.” The so-called righteous netizens harassed me until I fell into depression, and even my boyfriend stepped forward to accuse me of being dirty and said he wanted to break up. Unable to endure the blow, I jumped from the rooftop, while the female influencer gained tens of millions of followers and began livestream selling, earning more money than she could count. Only after my death did I learn that the influencer had been my boyfriend’s childhood crush. To boost the popularity of her livestream, she and my boyfriend had deliberately staged the entire scene. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the very day Bella asked me to give up my seat.

Dans un royaume ravagé par la guerre et la famine, nous n’avons qu’une solution pour survivre : offrir des tributs au Roi Dragon, cette créature mi-homme, mi-dragon, que nous craignons et vénérons. Chaque année, une jeune fille est choisie et envoyée au sommet de la montagne sacrée. On dit qu’aucune d’entre nous n’est jamais revenue. Je m’appelle Ayla, une orpheline rebelle aux yeux d’or, et cette année, c’est moi qui suis désignée comme le prochain tribut. Au lieu d’être dévorée comme je le croyais, je découvre un roi solitaire, tourmenté par une malédiction ancestrale. Le roi dragon ne s’attendait pas à rencontrer une humaine aussi farouche que moi... ni à ce que je devienne l’unique flamme capable de briser sa malédiction.

On the fourth day after our son died, I decided to end my military marriage. Before that, I spent three days taking care of what remained of him. On the first day, I tricked my wife into signing the cremation papers. On the second day, I went to my son's school and collected the textbooks he never had the chance to use. On the third day, I prepared a table full of his favorite dishes and begged my wife to come home so we could celebrate his birthday one last time. She agreed. Then she turned around, claimed she had a mission, and spent the entire night setting off fireworks with her childhood sweetheart. That night, I sat beside my son's memorial photo and ate alone. The next day, she came home looking guilty and handed me a brand new backpack. She said it was a gift for our son to use at school. She did not know that our child would never live to see his first day of school.

After my husband, Joseph Adams, hired thugs to smash my taco stand again, I pushed the destroyed remains to his company’s anniversary banquet. Joseph had his arm around his little secretary, Monica Martin, when he announced that she would soon be joining the company’s management team. I pressed the horn and called out, “Tacos for sale to support my husband’s mistress—three thirty a piece!” Amid the stunned and bewildered stares of the crowd, Joseph’s brows twisted into a deep frown.

Fui la Beta principal del Alfa Damon. Durante seis años, fui su mano derecha y su compañera en la cama. Cuando anunció nuestro ritual de unión, la manada entera lo celebró. Mi sueño estaba a punto de cumplirse. Pero entonces, afuera de su salón de trofeos privado, lo escuché presumir sobre sus Pruebas de la Luna. Y en ese momento, supe la verdad. No era la única para él, sino una de treinta candidatas. Había pasado un mes con cada una de nosotras, calificando nuestros cuerpos, nuestra sumisión y nuestro desempeño. Mi calificación fue más baja que la de una Omega. Más baja que la de Lydia. —Lydia fue increíble. Apenas y podía separarme de ella. Y luego veo a Elysia… tan tiesa, siempre tan controlada… y la verdad es que… me aburre. La conmoción me paralizó. Dejé de sentir el cuerpo. Seis años de lealtad. Incontables noches entre sus brazos. Al final, todo significó menos que un capricho momentáneo y una loba que sabía arrodillarse. Mi dolor se convirtió en una resolución inquebrantable. Le envié un mensaje a un Alfa que me había pretendido tiempo atrás. “Adrian, dijiste que tu oferta de ser mi compañero seguía en pie. ¿Estás seguro? Ya terminé con Damon.”

Being a taboo makes it all the more exciting... * * * * * Three years ago, Joslyn Patel met a man whom her best friend described as “sex on legs”. Three years ago, Gabriel Reid met a woman whose smart mouth he'd hoped was as good at blowing as it was at retorting—it had been way more than he'd imagined, by the way. Three years ago, sparks were ignited, their intertwined fate was set in stone and they had a night to remember. Fast forward to two years later, Gabriel now has a girlfriend so he definitely shouldn't be thinking about the woman from that explosive night but he can't help that the memories were now imprinted on his mind... and perhaps another part of him. Fate would have it that when Gabriel finally meets the best friend his girlfriend wouldn't stop talking about, she happens to be Joslyn, the mystery woman from two years ago. Tension brews between the two but nothing can be done about it. Skip to the present; Gabriel is now single again and nothing stands between him and finally getting the woman he's spent three years wanting, but what happens when before he can begin his chase, his divorced mother introduces a man her age as her new fiancé. What happens when the man turns out to be Joslyn's father? After all, a taboo relationship makes it all the more hot and exciting.
