Tasting Darkness Jessica Hall

She ran to survive. They were born to claim. Fate chained her to all three. And it was then where the pain started. Jessica is an omega female virgin sold off by her stepfather who is a gambler to a rough Alpha Thorne who she could never escape. On her bride night, she was able to run away. She was hunted with great violence with an anticipation of murder. Even death. What she didn't expect was Kai. Kai the strongest and most ghostly rogue alpha that turned her away without a second chance. The lover who had betrayed her and left her. Once more preserved by his rogue pack, Jessica is sucked into a reverse harem of forbidden with the possessive beta Ryder and mysterious enforcer Jax belonging to Kai. She was supposed to be prey. With powers hidden, roused within her--opened by the hesitant hand of Kai--Jessica finds that the truth of her blood had the power to break packs and to rewrite fates. But Jessica? She doesn't shatter. Not for Thorne. Not for her father. Not even to the alphas who can no longer remain. Their bonds are painful. Addictive. Dangerous. And when the secrets tear the light, they will have to decide: A pursuit which will be crowned by blood... or unyielding surrender. Run with her. Claim her. Break for her.

Depois de me declarar cento e uma vezes para o meu amigo de infância, João Machado, ele se casou com seu primeiro amor, Jessica Andrade. Desiludida e com o coração partido, eu, Adriana Borges, acabei me casando com o irmão dele, Fidel Machado, que sempre me cortejou. Após o casamento, Fidel me mimava incondicionalmente. Ele me amava de forma intensa e apaixonada, e todos ao meu redor acreditavam que eu tinha uma sorte imensa por me casar com um homem tão bom e dedicado. Mas, quando Jessica e eu caímos na água ao mesmo tempo, vi com meus próprios olhos quando ele, que não sabia nadar, mergulhou sem hesitar. Ele lutou contra a correnteza apenas para alcançá-la, chegando a transferir o próprio ar para ela debaixo d'água. Eu me debatia, em pânico, esperando que ele ao menos olhasse pra mim... e ele só tinha olhos pra Jessica, me deixando afundar sozinha. Enquanto estava inconsciente, ouvi do meu leito no hospital quando ele e João trocaram socos para decidir quem ficaria cuidando de Jessica. Ele rugiu, tomado pela dor: — Eu sacrifiquei a mim mesmo me casando com a Adriana apenas para garantir que ela não fosse um obstáculo para a felicidade de vocês dois. Me deixa ao menos ir dar uma olhada na Jessica, por favor? No fim das contas, ninguém jamais me amou de verdade. Sem hesitar, agendei um serviço de forja de óbito, preparando a minha própria morte falsa para escapar de tudo isso. No entanto, ao receber a notícia da minha "morte", ele, que sempre fora tão inabalável, empurrou Jessica que tentava consolá-lo, curvou-se cuspindo sangue e teve seus cabelos esbranquiçados em uma única noite.

She was once the cherished daughter of a respected professor, but now, she is nothing more than a shadow in the city-poor, struggling, and alone. Whispers follow her wherever she goes. Beauty like hers, they say, is a curse for a girl without power. They assume she'll do anything for money. But she is fire, untamed and unbroken. The university, once her father's legacy, is now under the control of a powerful man-a man who watches her with a cruel smile, waiting for the moment she will break. He holds the strings to her fate, dragging her into a silent war where wealth and control always win. Then, he returns. The boy who once played by her side, the boy who vanished the night of the tragedy, is back-no longer a friend, no longer the boy she knew. Now, he stands at the front of the lecture hall, wearing the title of Professor. His cold, unreadable eyes lock onto hers. His touch lingers like a ghost from the past. He helps her in the shadows, yet she feels his presence in every downfall she faces. Does he still hold the warmth of their past, or has he returned only to watch her drown? As secrets unravel and desires ignite, she must decide-fight against the power that seeks to destroy her, or surrender to the darkness lurking within the man she once called her own.
