Reading With E.

I'm in the Packhouse. Can't believe my mate holds another female werewolf's hand and says she's his true mate. I smile and accept the rogue. Because, I'm reborn with the Moon Goddess's help. To escape last life's tragic end, I'll change. I pick Theodore, the Lycan King's illegitimate son, as my ally. But fate tricks me. He's my true mate. When I'm doubting about trusting the Moon Goddess again for a second chance, my ex-mate shows up. He's in tears, crying about his faults, begging me to return.

I don't kick up a fuss when Jasper Sutton's childhood sweetheart once again takes my spot in the front passenger seat. Instead, I obediently head to the backseat to sit with his good friend, Jonathan Clayton. When we drive along a bumpy road, my knee brushes against Jonathan's toned thigh. I deliberately leave it there, and he doesn't move. We stop for a break at a rest area. Jasper's childhood sweetheart clings to him as they head to the restroom. As soon as the door is shut, Jonathan grabs the back of my neck and pulls me in for a kiss. As I descend into the throes of passion, I can't help thinking it's no wonder people like to cheat.

“Wala ka bang balak magpakasal?" Ang tanong na paulit-ulit na sinusundan si Abraham Consunji, isang kilalang negosyante na sa dami ng ari-arian, wala pa ring sariling tahanan pagdating sa pag-ibig. Hindi dahil bitter siya, kundi dahil masyado siyang abala sa pagpapatakbo ng imperyo ng pamilya. At kung tutuusin, ayaw niya talaga sa istorbo. Malapit na siyang tumuntong ng kwarenta, pero ni minsan, hindi niya naramdamang may kulang. Para sa kanya, sapat na ang katahimikan at kontrol sa buhay—dalawang bagay na sa tingin niya ay mawawala kapag may babae sa paligid. Pero isang pabor ang babaligtad sa takbo ng lahat... ang pag-aalaga sa inaanak niyang si Yvonne, na ngayon ay isa nang makulit at maganda nang dalaga. At sa bawat araw na magkasama sila, hindi lang ang pasensya niya ang sinusubok, pati ang pagpipigil sa sariling naaakit sa isang bagay na hindi dapat. Makakaiwas ba siya? O tuluyan na siyang matatalo sa tukso ng isang bawal na damdamin?

“What is this?” Aria asked as she stared at the envelope. “A marriage contract,” he told her, “I need you to get married to me and be my wife and then I'll help you get revenge against your ex-husband. That way we both get what we want.” Aria's gaze was fixated on the envelope. Contract marriage?, She questioned herself. This could be the answer she needed right now. A revenge that would put her ex-husband in the worse of all places. She wants to make him feel so miserable, just as he has made her feel. *** After being betrayed by her ex-husband, Aria is left with nothing, not until the ruthless young millionaire Damien Blackwood offers her a deal: marriage, power, and retribution. As she steps into his world, she soon realizes that vengeance comes with a price… and a passion she never expected. But in a game of secrets and betrayal, is she the player—or the pawn?

(Gideon Vesarius' Story) At the age of nineteen, Lyzza joined an auction to sell her body out of desperate need. Whoever has the highest bid will get her virginity. And it happened to be Gideon Vesarius, the bad-ass ex-military, multi-billionaire. He had her, then left her life. She thought it would be forever. Four years later, when she was about to be an intern at a large airline company, she did not expect that the man who owned her virginity also owned the company. He found her secret, and their three-year old daughter. Will he take the kid away? Or… he gave her another choice - marry him!

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.

No dia em que meu pai apareceu no banquete com a ex-namorada, a notícia se espalhou na internet, e todos riram da minha mãe. Ela tinha abandonado uma carreira promissora para entrar em uma família rica, mas após trinta anos ela continuava sendo uma anônima, sem posição, sem sequer a coragem de confrontar a amante. Após chorar uma noite inteira, minha mãe me olhou exausta. — Foi ele quem me traiu primeiro. Então, eu também não o quero mais. — Ela disse. — Lili, você vem comigo? Nesse mesmo instante, meu celular vibrou com uma mensagem do meu namorado com quem eu estava há sete anos: [Lívia, é só uma certidão de casamento. Não está bom só sendo minha namorada?] Permaneci em silêncio por alguns segundos e, por fim, assenti com a cabeça. Assim, no dia do casamento deles, minha mãe e eu desaparecemos no incêndio da mansão.

But everything takes a twist when feelings start to arise.

Ethan chuckled to himself and ran his fingers through my hair. Electricity ran up my spine as I tried not to react to how good it felt. “God, you’re cute.” He said. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips. I kissed him back, and we lingered in our embrace for a moment before pulling away. I could see something was shifting, was he holding me? What were these feelings brewing inside of me? I told myself not to take them too seriously. “You’re pretending.” I whispered to myself. “None of this is real.” - The offer was simple: one million dollars to pretend to be his girlfriend, then his fiance, in a space of six months. Everything she wanted was going to be at the tip of her fingers, including, maybe, making her best friend Jake a tiny bit jealous. What could go wrong? Everything, absolutely everything. And they both wanted it.
