Selena Zayn

Sa loob ng anim na taon nilang pagsasama, walang ginawa si Zia kung hindi ang maging mabuting may bahay at suportahan ang negosyo ng kaniyang asawa. Matapos niyang matuklasan ang matagal ng pagtataksil ni Ace, ang kaniyang asawa, nagpasya siyang ayusin muli ang kaniyang karera at bawiin ang kung anumang nararapat para sa kaniya. Buo na ang loob niyang makipag-diborsyo. Gayunpaman, naniniwala si Ace na ang pisikal na pagtataksil ay isang kasalanang mapapatawad pa kaya't ginawa niya ang lahat para mabuong muli ang tiwala ni Zia pero huli na ang lahat. Habang nalulunod sa galit at sakit ay aksidenteng nakaniig ni Zia si Zayn Alexander Evans, ang makapangyarihan at dominanteng bilyonaryo na siyang tiyuhin din ng kaniyang taksil na asawa. Ipinahanap siya nito pero ibang babae ang nagpakilala rito at sa takot na mabunyag ang kanilang aksidenteng kasalanan, nanatiling tahimik si Zia hanggang sa tuluyan na siyang nakaalis sa kasal na unti-unting sumasakal sa kaniya. Matapos makamit ang kalayaan, pagbibigyan ba ni Zia ang kaniyang sariling maging masayang muli sa piling ng tiyuhin ni Ace? Paano kung alukin siya nito ng kasal? Hahayaan niya bang isipin ng ibang tao na kaya siya nakipaghiwalay sa kaniyang asawa ay dahil nais niyang pakasalan ang tiyuhin nito? Ang lalaking walang awa at malamig sa lahat ngunit sobrang maalaga at malambot ang puso pagdating sa kaniya.

Three years ago, my father marries me off to Evan Blackwell, the CEO of Blackwell Group, for the family's interests. Everyone thinks I'm done for because Evan is known for being ruthless and cruel. Yet, he's nothing but gentle to me, and he never raises his voice at me. He even has my initials, SH, tattooed on his chest. Every year on our anniversary, fireworks bloom across the city right on the dot. They spell out my name and the loving words he dedicates to me. On our third anniversary, the fireworks suddenly replace my name, Selena Holloway, with Serena Harroway. Before I can ask about it, Evan immediately calls his subordinates and tears into them. "What's going on? How could you mess up my wife's name? Do you want to lose your jobs?" I hastily tell him it's fine and that the thought is what truly matters. In the end, he lets them off the hook. However, he pushes me until my legs are shaking and my voice is gone that night. When I wake from the night that leaves my whole body humming, he's already seated at his desk and buried in work. He asks me to grab a folder for him, yet I open the wrong drawer and stumble upon an old photo album. It contains intimate photos of him and a young woman who looks strikingly like me. There's a confession on the back of every single picture. "I miss you so much, Serena."

A mysterious plague swept through the packs, wiping out every last she-wolf. To continue their bloodline, these ancient predators turned to the human world, bringing with them centuries of wealth and power. They struck a pact, sealed in blood, with the most powerful human families: every summer solstice, the finest daughter would be chosen as a "Breeding mother," destined to mate with a wolf. And the one Breeding mother who could birth a female hybrid would be crowned, becoming the Queen of both the wolf and human worlds. In my last life, my sister Selena, the family favorite. She chose the Alpha of the warmest, richest territory. And me? I was the family’s sacrificial lamb, thrown to Colton, the most brutal Alpha of the Frozen Wastes. But who could have guessed my sister’s life of warmth and riches was all a lie? Her Alpha treated her like a disposable toy. She froze to death in a damp cellar, forced to listen to the fireworks that celebrated my coronation. Yes, I successfully gave birth to a girl. But those brilliant fireworks were also my funeral pyre. I died on that cold throne. Now, I’m alive again. We’re back on the day of the choosing. “I choose Alpha Colton of the Frozen Wastes!” The voice belonged to my sister, Selena. I slowly opened my eyes. Seeing the undisguised triumph and cold calculation in her eyes, I knew. She was reborn, too. But she didn't know，this time, she would be the one to fall into the very hell I just clawed my way out of.

Bitbit ang galit at sakit sa puso ni Selena ay nangako siya sa sariling tatapusin niya ang kanyang misyon at ipaghihiganti ang mga kasamahang walang awang pinatay ng mga Itim na Salamangkero. Pero pano niya gagawin yun kung sa kanyang matagumpay na pagtakas ay may bagong hamon ang Tadhana? Sa isang iglap, nagising nalang siyang walang alaala ng kanyang buhay. Wala na ang misyong ipinangako niyang gawin maging kapalit man nito ay ang buhay niya. Sa kanyang paghahanap ng kasagutan sa mga tanong sa kanyang isipan ay marami siyang makikilalang kaibigan. Hanggang sa pumasok siya sa Akademya ng mga kabataang may Espesyal na Kakayahan. Doon ay magsisimulang bumalik ang mga memorya nang nakaraan. Sa lugar na iyon ay makikilala niya ang mortal na kaaway na siyang may malaking parte sa nakalimutang misyon. Ang lalaking nakatadhana sa kanya. Pero mapaibig niya kaya ito sa kanya kung may minamahal na itong iba? Matapos niya kaya ang kanyang misyon kung kapalit nito ay sisirain niya ang kaligayahan ng lalaking mahal niya? Magically Bonded. Isang kwento ng paglalakbay, paghihiganti at pag-ibig ng isang dalaga. Isang dalagang nakatadhana sa isang dakilang misyon.

An meinem Hochzeitstag ließ mein Mafia-Verlobter Ryder Conti seine Männer mich vor der Kirche aufhalten. Stattdessen ging er mit einer anderen Frau am Arm den Gang entlang. Durch das schmiedeeiserne Tor zuckte er mir nur mit den Schultern. „Emilia, die Contis brauchen einen Erben, und Carmela trägt einen Rossi.“ „Sobald ich den Einfluss der Rossis nutze, um meine Position in der Familie zu festigen, lasse ich mich von ihr scheiden. Du bleibst trotzdem meine Frau.“ Alle dachten, ich würde brav nicken und warten, bis er zurückkommt. Zehn Jahre lang hatte ich ihn mehr geliebt als mein eigenes Leben, sogar den Kontakt zu meiner Familie für ihn abgebrochen. Noch in derselben Nacht stieg ich in einen Privatjet nach Sizilien, um eine arrangierte Ehe mit dem Paten der Vettori Familie anzunehmen. Von da an verschwand ich spurlos aus Ryder Contis Welt. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich mit meinem Ehemann und meinem Kind nach New York zurück, um mich um einen Verräter in der Familie zu kümmern. Zayn hatte noch etwas Dringendes zu erledigen, also schickte er seine Männer, um mich abzuholen. Ich hätte nie erwartet, einem Gesicht aus meiner Vergangenheit zu begegnen. Ryder musterte mich mit einem schiefen Grinsen. „Genug Spaß da draußen gehabt. Wenn du schon angekrochen kommst, passt das perfekt. Carmelas Sohn braucht eine Köchin. Das kannst du machen.“ Warte mal. Er hat mich gerade, die respektierteste Donna der Unterwelt, zur Köchin gemacht?

El día de mi boda, mi prometido miembro de la mafia, Ryder Conti, hizo que sus hombres me impidieran la entrada a la iglesia. En cambio, caminó hacia el altar con otra mujer del brazo. Por si fuera poco, me hizo encogimiento de hombros a través de las puertas de hierro. —Emilia, los Conti necesitan un heredero, y Carmela lleva un Rossi en su vientre. Una vez que use la influencia de los Rossi para consolidar mi posición en la Familia, me divorciaré de ella. Tú seguirás siendo mi mujer. Todos pensaron que asentiría obedientemente y esperaría a que regresara. Durante diez años, lo había amado más que a mi vida, incluso rompiendo lazos con mi familia por él. Sin embargo, esa misma noche subí a un jet privado a Sicile para aceptar un matrimonio concertado con el Padrino de la familia Vettori. Desde entonces, desaparecí sin dejar rastro del mundo de Ryder Conti. Tres años después, regresé a New Valley con mi esposo y mi hijo para lidiar con un traidor en la Familia. En esa ocasión, Zayn tuvo un asunto de última hora así que envió a sus hombres a recogerme en su lugar. Nunca esperé ver una cara de mi pasado. Ryder me miró con una sonrisa burlona. —¿Ya te divertiste suficiente? Ya que has vuelto arrastrándote, esto es perfecto. El hijo de Carmela necesita una cocinera. Tú puedes quedarte el trabajo. Espera, ¿me acaba de llamar a mí, la Donna más respetada del bajo mundo, la cocinera?

'Duda' Sebutan itu tersemat untuk seorang Devano Zayn Ganendra sekarang. Bohong jika Devan baik-baik saja setelah ditinggalkan oleh Disya. Lelaki itu sampai tumbang, berbaring di rumah sakit untuk beberapa pekan karena sakit fisik... juga hati sebenarnya. Ditinggalkan Disya benar-benar berdampak buruk untuk Devan. Apa yang sudah dilakukan oleh Devan untuk membuat istri kecilnya kembali? Tidak ada! Devan tidak melakukan apapun selama tiga tahun ini, bukannya tidak ingin berusaha... Devan merasa Disya memang tidak mau memaafkannya, apalagi kembali menjadi istrinya. Belum lagi sekarang Disya mempunyai Kakak laki-laki yang begitu amat protektif dan posesif. Devan tidak takut, hanya saja posisi lelaki itu lebih darinya, dalam artian lebih tinggi posisi terpenting dalam hidup Disya setelah Ayahnya, sekarang. Sulit! Sangat sulit. "Sudah tiga tahun 'kan? Tidak ingin kembali dengan Disya? Setidaknya kembali perkenalkan dirimu seolah-olah kau adalah orang baru—seorang Devano dengan versi yang lebih baik. Masuk ke dalam kehidupannya lagi dengan perlahan-lahan dan hati-hati, yakinkan hati Disya kembali untuk bisa bersamamu. Dulu, jalanmu terlalu gampang untuk bersama Disya, mungkin kali ini Tuhan ingin kamu lebih berusaha untuk mendapatkan Disya kembali, supaya kamu berpikir beberapa kali jika ingin membuatnya menangis." Seseorang mengatakan itu kepada Devan. Perkataannya berhasil membuat Devan kembali mendapatkan kepercayaan dan keyakinan diri yang lebih besar untuk mendapatkan kembali cintanya. Mungkin benar apa katanya, kali ini jalan untuk mendapatkan hati Disya lebih susah dan sulit, akan ada banyak rintangan dan badai yang datang. Tapi... Devan memang harus melewatinya jika ingin kembali mendapatkan hati Disya, 'kan? Akankah Devan berhasil? ***

No dia do meu casamento, fui traída diante do altar. Ryder Conti, meu noivo e herdeiro da máfia, não apenas cancelou nosso casamento, ele entrou na igreja de braços dados com outra mulher. Atrás dos portões de ferro, ele olhou para mim com um meio sorriso e disse: — Emilia, os Conti precisam de um herdeiro. A Carmela está esperando um filho dos Rossi. Quando eu garantir meu lugar na Família com a ajuda deles, vou me divorciar dela. Você continuará sendo minha mulher. Todos achavam que eu esperaria. Que obedeceria. Afinal, eu havia passado dez anos amando aquele homem mais do que a mim mesma — rompi com minha família, sacrifiquei tudo por ele. Mas naquela mesma noite, embarquei num jatinho rumo à Sicília para aceitar um casamento arranjado com o Padrinho da família Vettori. E desapareci do mundo de Ryder Conti. Três anos depois, retornei a Nova York, ao lado do meu marido e do nosso filho, para acertar as contas com um traidor da Família. Voltei para resolver uma traição na Família. Zayn teve um imprevisto, então mandou um dos capangas dele me buscar. Só não esperava reencontrar o homem que um dia destruiu meu coração. Com aquele velho sorriso arrogante, Ryder disse: — Acabou a farra? Que bom que voltou. O filho da Carmela precisa de uma cozinheira. Pode começar hoje. Cozinheira? Eu sou a Donna mais temida do submundo, e ele ousa me chamar de cozinheira?

Elias cleared his throat and rolled his eyes. “Thank you,” he said. I tilted my head. “No. Not like that.” His brows rose. “Then how…?” Being so close to him, his scent enveloping my senses messed with my brain. My eyes dragged down his naked chest, to his abs and stopped at the V line in his lower abdomen. Just this one time, I was letting my emotions and desires control me. Just this once, I didn't want to care about the consequences. I reached out slowly, took his hand in mine, and guided it up my chest, dragging it down the line of my torso, over warm skin, every inch of contact making his breath hitch. His hand trembled as it followed my guide and I could feel electricity tingling at every inch he touched. I guided his hand lower and lower, his eyes widened when I stopped with his hand on my rock hard cock. With his hand still in mine, I squeezed on my cock and groaned in pleasure. I leaned in, my voice a low whisper against his ear, “Like this.” ************************************* Elias Thorne, a secret Omega who has trained to be a Perfect Alpha, was sent to Mortlach Alpha Academy to solidify his position as the next Alpha of Silverhaven During his time in the school, he only had two orders to follow; stay away from the heirs of the Crescent Pack and make Selena Drake your mate to forge an alliance with her Pack But a simple order became the hardest task for him when Rowan Vale, the Alpha's second son of Crescent Pack was assigned as Elias’s roommate, whose mere presence woke up the part of him that he tries to suppress.

Dans l’ombre de son appartement, elle observait les plans du quartier général de Viktor, le mafieux le plus puissant du pays. Chaque détail comptait, chaque mouvement était essentiel. Aujourd'hui, elle allait frapper au cœur du royaume de Viktor. Le casse était risqué, mais la récompense en valait la peine. Une somme colossale. De l’argent qui changerait sa vie, si elle parvenait à s’échapper. Selena n’était pas comme les autres voleuses. Elle était plus que douée, elle était une légende. Ses attaques étaient propres, silencieuses, invisibles. Jamais un indice, jamais une trace. Cela faisait des années qu’elle vivait dans l’ombre, esquivant la police, les flics de la mafia et tout ce qui pouvait se dresser sur son chemin. Mais aujourd’hui, l’enjeu était plus grand. Elle ne volait pas seulement de l’argent. Elle volait la richesse d’un homme qui n’avait jamais connu de défaite, un homme qui contrôlait tout : les hommes, les affaires, la peur. Viktor Aleksandrov. Son nom était murmuré dans les coins les plus sombres de la ville, un spectre qui faisait trembler quiconque osait le défier. Il était un chef de la mafia d’une cruauté inouïe, un homme qui n’avait ni cœur ni pitié.
