Slytherin Animal

O híbrido de serviço de classe elite que comprei não gosta de mim; ele ignorava minha presença e só abanava o rabo para a minha irmã. Frustrada, acabei levando para casa um híbrido de classe inferior, daqueles vendidos para aliviar o estresse de forma brutal. No entanto, quando ele percebeu minhas intenções, entrou em pânico, quase chorando de desespero. — Daniela, você só pode criar a mim! Vou ser o seu único cachorrinho! — Implorou ele.

Na vida passada, minha irmã Ursula e eu salvamos dois ovos. Do ovo de Ursula nasceu Gélido, enquanto do meu ovo nasceu Flamejante. Ursula tomou de mim Flamejante que eu havia chocado, mas jamais esperava que o mundo fosse sucumbir ao apocalipse das altas temperaturas. Ursula morreu queimada pelo calor. Antes de morrer, ela instigou meu marido Gélido a me estrangular até a morte. Jamais imaginei que renasceríamos justamente no dia em que os dois ovos chocaram. Desta vez, Ursula ficou com Gélido. Ela acreditava que, tendo Gélido, conseguiria atravessar o apocalipse de calor sem dificuldades. Mas o que ela não sabia era que, para manter o poder extraordinário, Gélido precisava alimentar-se diariamente de sangue fresco.

Tras la gran guerra entre las tres razas —humanos, dragones y lobos—, las razas del Dragón y del Lobo quedaron bajo una maldición: sus descendientes de sangre pura ya no podían heredar todo el poder. Para preservar la fuerza del linaje, en cada generación el Rey Dragón y el Rey Lobo debían tomar como esposa a una mujer humana portadora de la Bendición. El primero en engendrar un hijo híbrido haría que su raza dominara a los otros dos durante un siglo. En mi vida pasada, me casé con el Rey Lobo, Daniel Vázquez, famoso por su fama de caballero dulce y amable. Antes de que se cumpliera nuestro primer año de casados, di a luz a un hijo medio lobo, capaz de heredar el poder. Desde entonces, Daniel se convirtió en el soberano de las tres razas, y los lobos dominaron el mundo durante un siglo. Mi hermana mayor, Diana Manzur, en cambio, cegada por la imponente figura del dragón plateado, se casó con el Rey del Clan de los Dragones Plateados. Pero él era altivo e indomable; cuando perdía el control, la hirió en el vientre, provocándole un aborto y dejándola estéril para siempre. Diana me envidió con una rabia enfermiza. En una reunión familiar, me apuñaló sin pestañear. Cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo, había vuelto a la noche anterior a la boda concertada por las tres razas. Diana se me adelantó y entró en el cuarto de Daniel para acostarse con él. Ella también había renacido. Pero lo que no sabía era que, en realidad, Daniel era más frío que el hielo y que su mayor placer era torturar a los humanos indefensos.

The world was divided into the mortal realm and the divine realm. The Rain Clan belonged to the divine realm. They could hear the prayers from the mortal realm. The Rain Maidens would bring rainfall to the mortal realm through prayers. They could ascend to heavens through cultivation. In the Rain Clan, every rain maiden was born with a dragon who would ascend with her and become her mount. When my sister and I were born, we shared only one spirit beast—a white dragon. The white dragon was the lowest of all dragons, yet I ignored the clan’s objections and insisted on forming a bond with him so that we could ascend. However, on the day I succeeded in calling the rain and married him, he shot an arrow straight through me while I was pregnant and at my weakest from summoning rain. As I lay dying, I saw him rush toward my sister. “Leigh, now I can finally be with you forever.” Only then did I realize the white dragon had chosen me under pretenses to help Leigh ascend. When I opened my eyes again, he and I had both returned to the day of our bond. There, he learned that Leigh was the true heir to the Rain Goddess mantle. He dropped to his knees and loudly confessed that he had always loved Leigh, and that he wished only to be her mount. Everyone knew I had spent half my cultivation to save him when he first hatched. I smiled and pointed at a mottled green snake at the edge of the barrier. The white dragon thought that as long as he bonded with my sister, he would ascend. However, what he never knew was that without me, Leigh could never ascend.

Após a Grande Guerra entre os três clãs — Humanos, Dragões e Lobos — uma maldição caiu sobre os dois mais poderosos: os descendentes de sangue puro dos Dragões e Lobos perderam a capacidade de herdar todo o seu poder. Para preservar a força de suas linhagens, os reis de cada clã passaram a depender de uma única saída: gerar herdeiros com uma mulher humana portadora de Bênçãos. Aquele que primeiro tivesse um filho mestiço e poderoso garantiria ao seu povo o domínio sobre os três clãs por cem anos. Em minha vida passada, fui escolhida para casar com Silas Hector, o Rei dos Lobos de Prata, um homem que aparentava ser gentil, mas escondia uma alma fria como o gelo. Um ano após o casamento, dei à luz um filho meio lobo que herdou todo o poder da linhagem. Silas venceu a disputa, e os Lobos governaram o mundo por um século. Minha irmã, Lucia, fascinada pelo magnífico Dragão de Prata, se casou com seu rei. Mas os dragões eram arrogantes e imprevisíveis. Em um acesso de fúria, ele destruiu o útero de Lucia e matou o filho que ela carregava. Ela ficou estéril. Tomada pela inveja, Lucia me assassinou com uma facada em plena reunião de família. Quando abri os olhos, voltei ao exato momento que antecedia o Casamento dos Três Clãs. Lucia também voltou no tempo... e correu para a cama de Silas. Mas ela não sabia de uma coisa: Silas nunca amou humanas. Ele apenas se divertia em destruí-las. Agora, com o passado nas minhas mãos e a verdade diante dos olhos, eu não lutarei por amor. Lutarei por vingança.

Me compré un hombre bestia de servicio de élite, pero a mí no me quería. Solo le movía la cola a mi hermana. Así que después, llevé a casa a otro de desahogo inferior. Y él… se puso tan desesperado que casi llora. —¡Clara! ¡Tú solo puedes tener un perrito… y ese he de ser yo!

In my previous life, my parents doted on my frail, sickly younger sister. For her sake, they chose a hawk beastman willing to settle in a human city as her husband. Me? They cast me into the deep sea, marrying me off to a giant shark beastman. When the apocalypse came and torrential rains drowned every human city, my parents and sister were left clinging to a rotting plank, adrift on the endless ocean. I couldn't bear to watch them die. With my giant shark husband, I dragged them down into the deep sea to safety. But resentment festered. Seeing me live comfortably while my shark beastman hunted day after day, my parents grew furious that my sister's life paled in comparison to mine. In their jealousy, they laced the fish we ate with poison and killed me. Now, given another chance at life, they've decided my sister should marry the giant shark beastman instead. My biased parents believe she will finally enjoy the blessings they once denied her. But what they don't know is this: after the cataclysm, fish become scarce. And a giant shark… does not survive on scraps. He needs flesh.

En mi vida pasada, mi hermana Marina y yo dimos con dos huevos misteriosos y los pusimos a salvo. Del suyo nació una serpiente de hielo, y del mío un fénix envuelto en llamas. Marina me arrebató el fénix que yo había criado con tanto cariño, pero nunca pensó que acabaríamos viviendo un apocalipsis de calor extremo. Ella se murió asfixiada por el calor y, en su último aliento, logró persuadir a Iván, mi esposo —la serpiente de hielo— para que me estrangulara. Pero nadie imaginó que volveríamos al mismo día en que esos dos huevos empezaban a romperse. Esta vez, Marina se quedó con Iván. Creía que, con él a su lado, podría salir adelante sin problema en ese infierno de calor, confiando en su poder helado. Pero lo que no sabía era que, para mantener su fuerza, esa serpiente necesitaba alimentarse de sangre fresca todos los días.

Before the dark, obsessive, hideous, and disabled Alpha of the Wolf Pack chose his wife, rumors spread that he favored Cat Clan beastwomen above all others. My fiance feared that my family's maid would be selected, so he spent days and nights making passionate love to her in my bed behind my back. Only after the maid conceived his beast egg did he finally feel at ease. On the day my fiance and I were supposed to form our bond, the maid stroked her slightly rounded belly and flaunted it before me. "Ms. Sinclair's bed certainly served its purpose. Nate and I only needed three months to conceive a beast egg." After speaking, she deliberately covered her mouth with a triumphant smile. "Oh, I forgot to mention—Nate is actually the exiled heir of the Eagle Clan! "For old times' sake, he said he'd graciously allow you to join the Fairfaxes as my maid to care for me during my pregnancy." I let out a cold laugh. She was destined for disappointment. If she would not marry the Alpha of the Wolf Pack, then I would. I could never be her maid, because I would only ever be the Wolf Pack's Luna.

My adopted sister won the Elixir Challenge by stealing my potion. To her shock, she was informed that the event was a selection event for the future wife of the Serpentkins' future head—the same heir who was infamously impotent, barbaric, and hideous. When the Serpentkins sent over a proposal letter, demanding her hand in marriage, my fiance panicked and promptly took my adopted sister away for a quick marriage and even consummated. Once the deed was done, she returned triumphantly, showing off the mark on her lower back. "Well, what are you going to do now, Winnie?" she gloated. "Your fiance is mine now, and you'll be twenty-five in three days. If no one comes to pick you up, you'll just be dumped into the hands of some wife-beating Rogue who is ageing and unwanted…" Actually, she was wrong—I had a choice. I went to the parlor where my parents—who were busy fixing the mess my adopted sister made—were, announcing, "If she refuses to marry the future head of the Serpentkins, I will!"
