What Is El Filibusterismo All About

Lydia Redfield never imagined that returning home would come with such a heavy price. A lifetime spent chasing freedom in Paris evaporates the moment her parents pull her back to the Silverwood packhouse, where duty and tradition outweigh any hopes of happiness. As the daughter of the Alpha, Lydia has one role: marry well and strengthen the pack’s power. But the man they’ve chosen isn’t just any Alpha—he’s Zane, a brooding, cold leader with a reputation for rejecting women and avoiding love. "I’m not a pawn to be moved around," Zane’s voice cuts through the tension, his gaze as sharp as his words. “I decide who is worthy to stand by my side.” Lydia thought the biggest challenge would be fitting into a life she never wanted. But when she meets Zane—tall, untouchable, and far too captivating—everything she thought she knew about loyalty, love, and sacrifice is put to the test. Her wolf stirs with an undeniable pull, one that terrifies her more than she’s willing to admit. The pack wants an heir. Her father demands she comply. But Lydia's heart is torn—because this is no arranged marriage. It’s a battle for control, where every step she takes could shatter her future, and every moment with Zane feels like surrendering her soul. In a world where power rules, can she escape the chains of duty—or will Zane’s love become the cage that binds her forever? Will she choose the freedom she’s always craved, or the power that could ruin her?

Diego llegó tarde a nuestra boda. Cuando finalmente apareció, entró al salón tomando del brazo de Liliana con delicadeza. Traía puesto el traje de padrino, mientras que el de novio había sido abandonado en el sofá como si fuera un trapo viejo. —Diego, ¿por qué te pusiste...? —comencé a preguntar. —¡Inés! —me interrumpió bruscamente, con la mirada alerta—. Piensa bien lo que vas a decir. Sé generosa, y no me hagas odiarte. Sonreí, decepcionada. Como Liliana Martínez, su primer amor, había perdido la memoria, habíamos quedado atrapados en el juego de ayudarla a recuperarse. Teníamos que esconderle todo lo malo y tratarla con cuidado, evitando cualquier cosa que pudiera alterarla. Diego se acercó a mí y me abrazó con ternura. —Inés, ¿puedes entenderme? —me susurró al oído, antes de darme un beso ligero. Obedecí, le agarré la mano al padrino y caminé hacia el altar del matrimonio junto a él. El otro día, me encontré a Diego en un centro comercial mientras yo compraba cosas para nuestro bebé que iba a nacer. Me detuvo, y sus ojos, enrojecidos, se clavaron en mi vientre: —Inés... Todo esto era una farsa, ¿no? ¿Por qué estás embarazada?

Por ella, Julián me abandonó con el vestido de novia puesto y huyó de la boda sin mirar atrás.
