Mit zwanzig legte mir der steinreiche Kriegskamerad meines Großvaters die Fotos aller seiner Enkel vor. „Such dir einen aus“, sagte er. „Einen Mann für dich.“ Ohne eine Sekunde zu zögern zeigte ich auf den sechsten: Dieter Weber. Die Anwesenden waren schockiert. Schließlich wusste jeder, dass ich immer nur den dritten Weber-Enkel, Egon, wollte. In meinem vorherigen Leben hatte ich meinen Willen bekommen: Ich heiratete Egon Weber. Und dank dieser Heirat erbte er den Großteil des Familienvermögens. Doch nach der Hochzeit ging er eine Affäre mit meiner jüngeren Schwester ein. Meine Eltern waren außer sich vor Wut und schickten meine Schwester zum Studium ins Ausland. Doch Egon war überzeugt, ich hätte sie auseinandergebracht. Von da an hasste er mich aus tiefster Seele. Von da an war er ständig von Frauen umgeben, die meiner Schwester ähnlich sahen. Jede Einzelne. Ich verfiel in eine schwere Depression. Anstatt mir zu helfen, wurden meine Medikamente gegen ein langsames Gift ausgetauscht – von ihm. Am Ende starb ich, mit seinem ungeborenen Kind im Leib. Nun, da ich noch einmal leben durfte, würde ich ihnen den Weg freimachen. Doch was ich nicht ahnte: Auch Egon Weber war zurückgekehrt!

No concurso de poções, minha irmã adotiva, Célia, tornou-se famosa graças à poção que roubou de mim. Eu jamais poderia imaginar que aquela competição serviria para escolher a esposa do jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, um homem cruel, feio e naturalmente estéril. Naquela mesma noite, a Tribo Serpente enviou uma carta de casamento, exigindo que a criadora da poção se tornasse esposa do jovem senhor. Ao saber disso, meu noivo entrou em pânico e imediatamente consumou o Pacto de Almas com Célia. Depois de consumado o ato, Célia veio, rebolando a cintura, exibir para mim o Pacto em forma de Lobo em suas costas. — Agora o seu noivo é meu, irmãzinha. E agora, o que você vai fazer? Faltam só três dias para você completar vinte e cinco anos. Se ninguém se casar com você, será sorteada para aqueles Bestiais mais velhos e violentos, que batem nas esposas! Ela se enganou. Eu ainda tinha outra escolha. Procurei meus pais, que estavam na sala tentando resolver as confusões deixadas por Célia. — Se ela não vai se casar com o jovem senhor da Tribo Serpente, eu me caso!

Eu entrei no livro e virei a bela figurante sem importância. E o meu irmão é o único homem normal da história, porque o papel dele é o de primeiro amor frio, abstinente e inalcançável que a protagonista jamais consegue conquistar. Quando a protagonista chora e se declara para ele, ele está estudando. Quando a protagonista quer se entregar de corpo e alma, ele está empreendendo. Enquanto a protagonista se perde entre vários homens, ele já se tornou um magnata, com renda anual nas centenas de bilhões. Eu achava que ele viveria uma vida inteira de pureza e autocontrole. Até que, certa noite, vi ele segurando uma peça da minha roupa nas mãos, murmurando o meu nome em voz baixa...

Einen Monat vor unserer Hochzeit verkündete mein Verlobter, dass er mit seiner ersten großen Liebe ein Kind zeugen wolle. Ich war dagegen, doch er brachte es Tag für Tag zur Sprache. Zwei Wochen vor der Hochzeit erhielt ich einen Schwangerschaftstest. Erst da erfuhr ich, dass seine erste Liebe bereits seit fast einem Monat schwanger war. Er hatte nie vorgehabt, meine Zustimmung einzuholen. In diesem Moment lösten sich unsere jahrelangen Gefühle in Luft auf. Also sagte ich die Hochzeit ab, vernichtete alle Erinnerungen an ihre gemeinsame Zeit und begab mich am geplanten Hochzeitstag in ein abgeschottetes Forschungslabor. Von da an hatte ich nichts mehr mit ihm zu tun!

Agatha Diniz era apenas uma bolsista pobre, apadrinhada por Manfredo Borges. Mas ela buscava mais do que caridade — ela queria adrenalina. Mergulhou com um grupo de homens no mar e, entre beijos e toques, começou a sangrar. A corrente arrastou o sangue e um tubarão apareceu. Fui eu quem a salvei, arriscando a vida para tirá-la da água. Disse apenas que ela devia procurar um médico. Ela sorriu, concordou, e, no minuto seguinte, correu até Manfredo, chorando, dizendo que eu havia manchado sua honra. Na fúria, ele me jogou viva dentro de um tubarão gigante ainda consciente. Enquanto eu gritava e socava o ventre da criatura, pescadores horrorizados imploravam: — Senhor, por favor! A sua esposa vai morrer! Ele apenas riu, abraçado à garota: — Dizem que dá pra viver um mês dentro de um peixe. Ela não ama tanto os tubarões? Que vire parte da pesquisa. Na escuridão, com o corpo preso e a alma dilacerada, acariciei minha barriga. Sussurrei ao meu bebê: — Filho, a mamãe não vai conseguir te proteger. Um mês depois, Manfredo voltou. Mas encontrou, na areia… apenas um esqueleto, embranquecido pelo sal e pelo tempo.

I'm Melody Cameron and I'm every man’s worst nightmare, I say this because I’ve been called that by many men. I’m not only smart and educated, I’m a real beauty and no I’m not conceited, I have eyes and am confident in my own skin. At the age of 16, I was crushed beyond words, cried until I ran out of tears, then became angry at the world, until finally my best friend told me what had happened. I had been taken, by one of the most popular, eligible and attractive werewolves in her pack, “this is what he does and I’m sorry it happened to you Mel, you didn’t deserve that,” she said through her own tears as she hugged me. It was that day I realized one thing I would never fall for another man, he could own the world and promise it to me, and I’d still walk away from him. Yup, that’s me now, Miss Wrong, I will never be any man’s Miss Wright, never again. I’m strictly a one and done girl here, no seconds, no matter how many times you make me see God, it’s not happening. I became a nurse, yes, it's a glorious job and in a world with supernaturals it has it's challenges, like werewolves can heal themselves, witches have no need for human's period, etc.. So when the Alpha was in my ER room and I hit the code button, because all his monitors screamed to life the second, I walked in, I was fired. Getting the Alpha's attention, not good for a human and now I'm convinced he is set on ruining my life, because his ego is obviously bigger than his dick. I have jokes.

Na sétima vez em que combinei com Breno Lima de ir ao cartório buscar nossa certidão de casamento e fui deixada esperando, tomei a iniciativa de cortar todos os laços que ainda nos uniam. Se havia um encontro de amigos em que ele estava presente, eu simplesmente deixava de ir. Se ele era convidado para se apresentar na comemoração da escola, eu me retirava antes do início. Se a empresa decidia fechar parceria com ele, eu pedia demissão imediatamente. Até mesmo no Natal, quando ele veio me visitar em casa, inventei uma desculpa para sair e visitar outros amigos. Bloqueei seu número, apaguei-o da lista de contatos, cortei tudo sem deixar rastros. Não o procurei mais, e ele também não conseguiu me ver. Durante os trinta anos anteriores, passei a maior parte da vida apaixonada por ele, cuidando dele com todo o meu empenho. Só depois de ser deixada esperando pela sétima vez no cartório é que despertei. Não queria mais viver assim. Mesmo que fosse para ficar sozinha, não queria passar mais um dia e uma noite guardando uma casa vazia!
