Tom Sawyer And Huckleberry Finn Summary

SUMMARY: Haunted by her aunt’s final words, Lyra disguises herself as a maid in Veyron's territory—the ruthless pack leader responsible for the destruction of her village. Survival is her only goal… until Veyron claims her as his fated mate. To Lyra, he is nothing but a monster wrapped in power and bloodshed. Loving him is unthinkable. Escaping him feels impossible. As an ancient prophecy begins to close in around her, Lyra discovers that her fate is far more dangerous than she ever imagined—and that the bond tying her to Veyron may be the key to either her awakening or her ruin. Tormented by his past and an approaching darkness, Veyron never expected his fated mate to be living in his home—or to reject him. When he loses control, he proves her right to fear him. Even with the fate of the world at stake, he can’t risk letting her out of his sight… and despite everything, he still wants her. TRIGGER WARNING: Morally gray werewolves, forced intimacy, and romance that lives firmly in the “this is probably a red flag” zone. Consent may be compromised. Proceed with caution—and maybe a glass of wine. CHAPTER PREVIEW: Lyra swallowed hard, her throat dry, but the words escaped her lips before she could stop them. “I’m a reject,” she whispered, her voice cracking. “The man who was supposed to be my mate chose my sister instead.” His palms slammed the wall beside her head as his roar blew the hair out of her face. Lyra flinched, recoiling. His growl deepened, reverberating through the small space. “Whoever rejected you is irrelevant,” he snarled, his voice dripping with finality. “You. Belong. To me.”

El día de nuestra boda, Leonardo Sánchez me juró que me amaría para toda la vida. Siete años después, hizo que otra mujer quedara embarazada y hasta la instaló en una mansión de maternidad que había preparado con esmero. Cuando lo descubrí, el vientre de ella ya estaba abultado, a punto de dar a luz. Él apenas se sobresaltó un instante, pero enseguida la protegió detrás de su espalda. —Camila, tú siempre tuviste miedo de ser madre. Con este hijo, la familia Sánchez tendrá un heredero y tú ya no tendrás que sufrir. —Seguiremos igual que antes, nada va a cambiar. Yo sostenía en mis manos el examen de embarazo recién confirmado y, entre lágrimas, solté una sonrisa rota. El día en que Valeria dio a luz, yo me sometí a un aborto, dejé el acuerdo de divorcio y tomé un avión rumbo a un país lejano.

Lo primero que hice al regresar a la gala para elegir esposa fue intercambiar en secreto mi tarjeta numerada de candidata por la de mi hermana adoptiva. Cuando Fernando Romero tomó el ramo con el número de Lucía Benítez, se le desbordó la alegría en los ojos. Le sostuvo la mano y, solemne, le juró una vida entera. —Lucía, serás la única mujer de mi vida. Luego se volvió hacia mí y, de golpe, se le heló la mirada. —Siempre te vi como a una hermana. No intentes ocupar el lugar de Lucía. Aquel aviso frío me atravesó el pecho. Las habladurías me devoraron otra vez, igual que en mi vida pasada. Todos se burlaban de mí, la “arrastrada” de Fernando. Diez años detrás de él con el corazón en la mano… y el hombre terminó enamorado de la supuesta heredera, mi hermana adoptiva.

Estuve cinco años casada con el heredero de la familia Romano, la más poderosa del crimen organizado en Italia. Cada noche, me abrazaba y susurraba: —Solo dame un heredero, y le daré todo el imperio Romano. Pero nunca quedé embarazada, y la decepción del jefe de la mafia hacia mí crecía con cada mes que pasaba. Hasta que descubrí que mi esposo había estado cambiando a escondidas mi ácido fólico por pastillas anticonceptivas. Aún me tambaleaba por la furia cuando vi una publicación de su exnovia: una foto de ultrasonido. Su mensaje era dulce y presumido: —Diez semanas. Vincent dice que no puede esperar para conocer al bebé. Al ver la avalancha de felicitaciones, tomé una decisión. Busqué los datos de contacto de mi exnovio, aquel que había pasado los últimos cinco años intentando recuperarme, y le envié un solo mensaje: "Dame un mes. Luego voy contigo."

On the day of my bonding ceremony with Vincent Sawyer, the future Alpha, the moonstone ring meant for me, the future Luna, has mysteriously disappeared from the ringbox. In its place sits a can tab that has already gone black from oxidation. The guests' cheers die down immediately. They all turn to look at me after that. Amid the silence, Vincent's childhood sweetheart, Sharon Anderson, walks out from the crowd. She raises her left hand and waves, the moonstone ring perched on her ring finger. Then, she pulls out a matching ring before sliding it onto Vincent's finger. "You must be scared out of your wits, huh, Angelica? I'm actually wearing the ring right now. This can tab is no ordinary item, you know. Vincent had given it to me when we were still pups. It resembles everlasting love that will never fade away. Now, I'm giving it to you." Sharon's words strike me right in my heart. I tremble violently, feeling as if my heart is being cut into a million pieces. However, Vincent just chuckles. "Sharon always comes up with silly ideas. She's just joking around, Angelica. Don't take her actions to heart." "Oh, I won't." I toss the can tab into the bonfire, a dry chuckle escaping from my lips. "This bonding ceremony is canceled." Vincent grabs my hand before pulling me into his arms. "Stop messing around, Angelica! We found the ring, didn't we? This bonding alliance will affect the future of our packs! You're not the one calling the shots here!" I squirm out of Vincent's grasp, catching a trace of sickly sweet scent lingering around him—one that isn’t mine at all. "While it's true that the Moonlake pack is going to form a bonding alliance with the Brownstone pack, my future mate isn't necessarily you."

“Accept me, Sarah.” Finnick begged. “I, Sarah Woods, of the RedWoods pack, accept- “What in Goddess’ name is going on here?” my brother’s shouting interrupted me as I was about to accept Finn as my mate. “Come on, Finn. Tell her the whole truth. Tell her how you’ve had someone different warming your bed almost every night for the last four years, sometimes more than one!” Finding out the boy she loved since she was 16 was also her mate was the best and worst day of Sarah’s life. Learning he’d been cheating on her was a betrayal she couldn’t forgive. She was heartbroken until fate put Zayne Davies, Beta of the Glass Lake pack, in her path. Zayne’s love healed her broken heart and Sarah thought she’d finally found her happy ending. Until Finnick found them and proved the Moon Goddess’ plans were far more complicated. Sarah must decide to either fight for her mate bond or run from both men. No matter what she decides, the increasing threat to the entire wolf kingdom is something none of them can escape. Like it or not, they are tangled together in a web of deceit, danger and desire that will either lead to their downfall or might just be their saving grace. *Warning: This book is an erotic romance featuring non-incestuous polyamory between multiple mates with bisexual interactions.

El día de mi boda con Julián Gutiérrez, la hija adoptiva de la familia, Lucía Gutiérrez, intentó lanzarse por la ventana para quitarse la vida. Por ella, Julián me abandonó con el vestido de novia puesto y huyó de la boda sin mirar atrás. Frente a la mirada burlona de todos los invitados, levanté la barbilla y declaré en voz alta: —¡Hoy, quien suba al altar conmigo será mi marido! Tres años después, Julián regresó a la mansión Gutiérrez con Lucía. Yo estaba recostada en un sofá de cuero, saboreando una sopa nutritiva mientras veía mi serie favorita. Julián fijó la mirada en mi vientre abultado y, rechinando los dientes, me escupió: —¿De quién es ese bastardo que llevas en el vientre? Tomé otra sopa nutritiva y sonreí con calma: —Es sangre Gutiérrez, sin duda.

Mi hijo me pidió algo que no podía darle. —Solo tres oportunidades, mamá —susurró—. Si después de eso realmente no nos ama... nos iremos para siempre. Estaba hablando de su padre, Giovanni Romano, el heredero de un imperio mafioso y mi esposo solo de nombre. Él nunca nombró a mi hijo como suyo y no me dijo que me amaba ni una sola vez. En la primera oportunidad, a Giovanni le falló la memoria, en la segunda, mintió y en la tercera... rompió algo que ninguna disculpa podía arreglar. Así que empacamos nuestras maletas, tomé la mano de mi hijo y nos fuimos. Sin lágrimas ni despedidas, solo en silencio. La noche en que nuestro avión despegó, mi teléfono vibró. “Espera”, decía su mensaje. “Regresaré a casa”. Pero ya mi casa no estaba donde él estaba, sino donde mi hijo finalmente pudiera dormir sin llorar. Porque algunas promesas no se rompen, se destruyen, y algunas madres se cansan de esperar.

“Take off your dress, Meadow.” “Why?” “Because your ex is watching,” he said, leaning back into his seat. “And I want him to see what he lost.” ••••*••••*••••* Meadow Russell was supposed to get married to the love of her life in Vegas. Instead, she walked in on her twin sister riding her fiance. One drink at the bar turned to ten. One drunken mistake turned into reality. And one stranger’s offer turned into a contract that she signed with shaking hands and a diamond ring. Alaric Ashford is the devil in a tailored Tom Ford suit. Billionaire CEO, brutal, possessive. A man born into an empire of blood and steel. He also suffers from a neurological condition—he can’t feel. Not objects, not pain, not even human touch. Until Meadow touches him, and he feels everything. And now he owns her. On paper and in his bed. She wants him to ruin her. Take what no one else could have. He wants control, obedience… revenge. But what starts as a transaction slowly turns into something Meadow never saw coming. Obsession, secrets that were never meant to surface, and a pain from the past that threatens to break everything. Alaric doesn’t share what’s his. Not his company. Not his wife. And definitely not his vengeance.
