"I can't take this anymore." said Dezmond gloomily. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ **Ruby** Ruby couldn't focus in class, another night of tossing and turning.

The day she lost her family in the fire. She was the only one who wasn't in the house. And she relived that horror every night in her dreams. Though recently her nightmares felt different. More like a warning rather than a memory. "Rough night?" whispered Haven. Haven had been friends with Ruby since they were little kids. "Yeah, they started happening again." Ruby whispered back. They never really stopped. "Have you talked to anyone about it? Ruby, you can't keep it a secret forever." This is the same discussion they had just after the incident.

"I want her." he said coldly sipping onto his wine staring at the grey eyed enchantress standing in front of him taking in her curves and flawless smooth skin.

A cabin by a lake for the summer with barely a soul in sight sounds like the perfect place to disappear to for eight weeks. Just me and my laptop, writing my next bestseller. Away from the city and the drama. My plans soon change on my first day here, all because of a handsome stranger who turns out not to be as much as a stranger as I thought. Sound's complicated, right? I didn't come here to get involved with anyone, the opposite really, but Kyson has a way to get to me easily, one which isn't so easy to fight especially when he is next door for the entire summer. I could resist, I should resist, but it is hard to fight chemistry, lust and connection, all things we seemed to share. I didn't think when I came here my summer would change everything and not all for the best.

On our wedding night in my previous life, Sebastian discovered I was not the woman he loved. From that moment on, he began a quiet investigation and convinced himself that, driven by jealousy, I had forced the maid to her death.

Behind my back, he destroyed my entire family. As for me, after years of enduring his calculated cruelty, I met my end beneath the icy surface of a lake on a bitter winter night. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day Sebastian knelt and begged for our marriage alliance.

It was our sixth wedding anniversary. Lord Tom didn't pledge his vows to me, but instead gave me his family's crest—a dim, unstable mark, the mark of a blood slave. That very night, while solemn hymns echoed through the hall, he performed a blood oath ceremony with his pure-blood first love, Lady Mia. I refused the mark. He let out a cold, humorless laugh. "Love is a luxury only immortals can afford, Rowling," he said. "My union with Mia is a political necessity—to maintain the purity of the bloodline." His gaze turned icy. "You are a mortal. You should be content with my protection. Few receive such a blessing." I didn't speak.I left before dawn. Six years later, we met again at a banquet hosted by the Vampire High Council. Tom walked in with Mia, her silk dress shimmering silver in the moonlight. Under his rule, his family was about to gain a seat in the Senate. His gaze found me. I stood in the hotel's decorative fountain, the water up to my ankles, soaking wet, sand clinging to my dress. A familiar look of contempt flickered across his face. "Rowling," he said coldly. "You refused my protection, mocked my generosity. Now you're rummaging through a public fountain like a beggar." The corners of his mouth curled slightly. "Do you really think any vampire would take in a mortal without a protector?" I didn't look up. I was searching for my son's tourmaline that had fallen into the water. But to my son, it was a seal—an ancient restraint, suppressing a power that shouldn't awaken so early. I could already feel it weakening. If the seal cannot be repaired in time, the power erupting within him will destroy the entire building.

Después de mi renacimiento, decidí trazar una línea dura entre mí y el heredero de la familia de la mafia, Carlo Gutiérrez. Él hizo que su golden retriever ocupara mi asiento y le dijo a todos que yo ni siquiera era apta para tocar comida de perro en su fiesta. Después de eso, nunca más volví a sentarme en la mesa principal. Se quejó de que mi voz le estaba dando dolor de cabeza e interfería con sus negocios, así que me callé delante de él. Él se burló porque apestaba, así que hice las maletas y volví a mi destartalado apartamento en los barrios bajos, sin volver a poner un pie en su territorio. Al final, dijo que mi sola presencia arruinaría su alianza matrimonial con la Principessa de la familia Moreno. Asentí, y luego acepté la propuesta de matrimonio de otro hombre sin dudarlo. Tomé decisiones opuestas a las que tomé en mi vida pasada. Después de que me casé con él en mi vida anterior, la Principessa de la familia Moreno fue asesinada en un tiroteo. Carlo concluyó que yo era el culpable y me arrojó al sótano para torturarme antes de finalmente tirar mi cuerpo al mar. Más tarde, cuando me vio con otro hombre, me confrontó con los ojos rojos. —Rosa Shaw, ya te divertiste. Vuelve conmigo, ¡y fingiré que nada de esto ha pasado!
