Como la compañera destinada de Loki Whalen, Alfa de la manada Darkshadow, una vez creí que sería su única Luna de por vida. Hoy, esa mentira se hace añicos. En el registro de la manada, mi nombre ha sido tachado como compañero de Loki. En su lugar está Maya Hemmings, su verdadero amor, quien, según él, había abandonado la manada hacía años. La verdad es cruel. En ese instante, el dolor insoportable del rechazo de mi vínculo me desgarra el alma. Es entonces cuando finalmente comprendo que mi debilidad del año pasado no se debe a la angustia de no haber podido concebir, sino a las consecuencias de la ruptura de nuestro vínculo de compañeros. Lo que él no sabe es que ayer el sanador me dijo que estoy embarazada de los cachorros gemelos con los que siempre ha soñado. Como su amor es una mentira, no tengo motivos para quedarme. Ahora me iré y me llevaré conmigo a sus verdaderos herederos.

Depois de terminar o treinamento de Luna que toda loba sonhava, fui até meu Alfa, Damien, com um pedido. Para romper nosso vínculo de companheiros. — Tudo isso, só porque perdi sua cerimônia para ajudar a companheira do meu falecido irmão, Lilith, com os renegados no território dela? Ele deu um sorrisinho de desdém e falou baixinho, com a voz rouca. Assenti, em silêncio. — Dei minha palavra ao meu irmão antes dele morrer. Jurei que protegeria Lilith. Não posso quebrar esse juramento! Por que você não consegue entender? — ele sussurrou, suspirando pesadamente. — Pare de ser tão infantil! Por que você não pode ser razoável, como Lilith é? Eu o empurrei com uma calma gélida. Dez anos. Por dez anos depois que nosso vínculo foi confirmado, abri mão de tudo. Cada passatempo, cada sonho… tudo para aprender a ser a Luna dele. Todos na alcateia achavam que eu era indefesa sem ele. Que eu não conseguiria nem sobreviver sem a proteção dele. Mas dessa vez, eu estava farta. Ele não sabia que eu já tinha contatado as alcateias neutras em outra terra. Eu estava indo para algum lugar onde o cheiro Alfa dele nunca poderia me alcançar.

One of Ethan Sterling's closest friends got drunk and humiliated me. Called me a nobody orphan who married above her station, said I'd never be accepted by the Sterlings, that I wasn't fit to sit at their table. Ethan smashed a bottle over the man's head. He announced in front of everyone that if anyone ever disrespected me again, he'd make them pay. When I was pregnant and the morning sickness was so brutal I couldn't keep anything down, he went and scheduled a vasectomy. He didn't want me to suffer through another pregnancy. This was a man who loved me like I was his whole world. And yet — when I was lying on the operating table about to give birth, he was standing right in front of me with his arms around Iris, putting on a show for anyone watching. Iris was the daughter of another old-money family and she'd donated bone marrow to save Ethan's mother's life. The night before her own engagement, her fiance betrayed her, and the trauma wiped her memory clean. Now the only thing she knew for certain was that Ethan Sterling was her husband. In her world, I was the homewrecker — the scheming woman using the bastard in her belly to force her husband into a divorce. Ethan promised me it was all an act. Just repaying the debt for his mother's life. Once Iris recovered, he'd walk away from her immediately. But when I picked up the surgical consent form for him to sign, and his first instinct was to pull Iris behind him — to shield her — I knew. His heart had already drifted off course. The fairy tale of a Cinderella marrying into high society was over. Time to wake up.

Son secret. Sa honte. Son âme sœur. **** « Paige Murphy ? Comme si elle était plus qu’une simple remplaçante. » **** Pendant des années, Paige Murphy s’est accrochée à un seul et fragile espoir : qu’un jour, son âme sœur destinée, le puissant Héritier Alpha Blaze Sullivan, la reconnaîtrait enfin comme sienne. Il était l’homme qui l’avait sauvée du cauchemar de son enfance, abusée par sa mère et son beau-père. Il était devenu sa lumière, son protecteur, le père de son enfant. Pourtant, au grand jour, elle n’est pour lui qu’une louve faible qu’il garde dans l’ombre, sans jamais officialiser leur lien, sans jamais faire d’elle sa Luna. La cruelle vérité la blesse plus profondément que n’importe quelle lame, mais c’est leur fille gravement malade, dont les soins dépendent de sa fortune, qui la maintient enchaînée à lui. Paige sait qu’elle doit rester, même si son cœur se brise, mais Blaze ne prévoit que d'épouser Eileen et compte bien la forcer à rester comme sa maîtresse. Il croit détenir tout le pouvoir, car sa faible Oméga n’a nulle part où aller. Il a tort… car Paige Murphy n’est pas celle qu’il croit. Un amour bâti sur des mensonges et brisé par la trahison peut-il jamais être réparé, ou l’Héritier Alpha a-t-il perdu sa véritable âme sœur à jamais ?

Tres años de matrimonio, y todo termina con dos palabras. Fírmalo. Ni siquiera levantó la mirada cuando lo dijo. Simplemente deslizó los papeles sobre la mesa, como si yo fuera otro trato empresarial por cerrar. No se suponía que nos enamoráramos; empezó como un contrato, algo práctico, algo seguro. Pero los sentimientos tienen la costumbre de crecer donde no deberían. Por un tiempo, pensé que le importaba. Los momentos en silencio, los pequeños detalles: recordaba mi canción favorita, cómo tomo el té, lo mucho que odio la lluvia. Creí que significaban algo. Resulta que sí lo hacían… solo que no para mí. Cada gesto, cada palabra suave, estaba prestada de un recuerdo. De ella. La mujer que lo tuvo primero. La que se fue. La que ahora ha vuelto. Así que firmé. Sonreí. Me fui. No porque quisiera, sino porque tenía que hacerlo. Él no me persigue. Todavía no. Pero puedo sentirlo: el peso de todo lo que no se dijo sigue suspendido en el aire entre nosotros. Tal vez se dé cuenta de lo que perdió. Tal vez no. De cualquier manera, esta vez no voy a quedarme esperando para averiguarlo.

Limang taon. Limang taon na minahal ni Jazz ang isang lalaking hindi naman siya pinahalagahan. Lahat ibinigay niya—oras, tiwala, at puso. Pero isang iglap lang, nawala ang lahat. Isang car accident ang bumura ng kanyang alaala. Pagmulat niya ng mata, wala na ang babaeng marunong magmahal. Ang natira na lang ay isang estranghero sa sariling buhay. Nagkaroon siya ng amnesia. At habang wala siyang maalala, ang dating kasintahan niyang si Damon ay wala ring konsensya. Sa halip na umamin sa kanilang relasyon, niyakap nito ang kanyang nakababatang kapatid na babae at iyon ang ipinakilala nitong kasintahan. Itinuro nito ang telebisyon at walang emosyon na sinabi, “Iyan ang boyfriend mo. Siya ang habulin mo.” Nalito si Jazz. Pero naniwala siya sa sinabi nito. At sinunod niya iyon. Ang lalaking nasa TV ay si Malachi Robles— ang CEO na tito ni Damon. Malamig. Tahimik. Hindi madaling lapitan. Mula sa isang kasinungalingan, nagsimula ang isang habulan. Isang babaeng may amnesia. Isang lalaking hindi niya dapat mahalin. At isang katotohanang handang wasakin ang lahat kapag nabunyag.

I found out I was pregnant at the same time as my mafia husband’s childhood sweetheart Rosa. To protect her baby from being aborted by her parents, my husband claimed her baby as his own. As for mine? He coxed me, saying he will claim only after her baby was born. I confronted him, demanding to know why he would do this to me. His response was cold and unwavering: “Claiming her baby as mine was the only way to protect them both. I won’t let anything happen to her or the child.” In that moment, as I looked at the man I had loved for ten years, I realized my love for him had died. Not long after, my family condemned me, calling me a slut for having a child without a father and pressured me into getting an abortion. Meanwhile, my husband was in another city, with his sweetheart, helping her through her pregnancy. By the time he returned, I was already gone.

a story about a millionaire daughter being stolen from birth born into wealth raised in struggle now the truth is raising and so she is coming for everything that was taken

“We ain't divorced yet, Gabriella and you are already cheating. Is this why you wanted a divorce? Cutting me off from your business? Just to bring in someone and you didn't even do that alone but my uncle? Doing shit with my uncle?” My eyes widened more and more until I understood what was happening. For three years, Gabriella thought she had it all, a loyal husband, a growing interior design business, and a best friend she’d known since college living under their roof “just until she got back on her feet.” When her friend announced a surprise pregnancy, Gabriella celebrated, until she discovered the father was her own husband. The betrayal slices deeper when Gabriella learns the affair began long before the baby, and worse, her husband signed over half of their joint properties to the friend in secret. Now publicly humiliated and privately devastated, Gabriella refuses to be the woman who begs to be chosen. Divorce is not just a choice, it’s survival. Enter Aidan Voss, her newest client: a reclusive billionaire known for designing luxury hotels and for ruthlessly dismantling the competition. He’s charming, calculated, and hiding scars of his own. He offers her a high-stakes design contract that would put her business back on the map, but his interest in her is anything but professional. What she didn't know was that the newest client was her ex-husband's uncle. But Gabriella made a vow: never to lose herself in a man again. Not even one who seems to see past the ruins she hides behind polished smiles. And certainly not one who might just be planning revenge on the man who broke her, because Aidan has his own unfinished business with her ex-husband.
