What Is The Bro Code

So she would not die. Lillia echoed in her mind. Not today. Then, something stronger coiled suddenly around her neck, tightening painfully as her voice escaped in a strained sound. “Ame… Lia—please—” Before Lillia could react, a violent force wrenched her away, dragging her into the darkness. Her fingers tore free of Amelia’s grasp, clutching only a ripped fragment of fabric as she was pulled farther and farther away. Lillia watched as Amelia receded into the distance, swallowed by the void, while the coldness and hostility around her deepened, pressing in from all sides. Her body was tossed and dragged as multiple unseen forces fought to claim her. The air grew thick with a foul stench, suffocating her senses as she was pulled deeper into the void, deeper toward a point of no return. But as her strength began to wane, Lillia closed her eyes, her breathing slowing to quiet as she reached inward toward Fenris. Fenris… I know you’re weak. But I know you’re still here. If you would give your last strength to save me, then I will give mine to save her. And if we perish… then we perish together. I cannot exist in a world without you, because you are part of me as I am part of you. Without you, something in me is lost forever. I am nothing without you. For a breathless moment there was nothing but coldness. Then—warmth flickered, then surged deep within, enveloping her as Fenris stirred. A faint whimper echoed in her mind, followed by a quiet voice. “Then… let us kick death in the teeth one last time.” —To be continued. >>>click to read<<<🪄✨

Si Elena Marquez, isang simpleng physical therapist, ay namumuhay nang tahimik at malayo sa mundo ng mayayaman. Ngunit nagbago ang lahat nang dumalo siya sa isang charity gala ng hospital kung saan siya nagtatrabaho. Doon niya nakilala si Dr. Alexander Villareal, isang malamig ngunit makapangyarihang billionaire neurosurgeon na kilala sa kanyang talino at intimidating na presensya. Ang isang gabing hindi inaasahan ay nagdulot ng matinding attraction sa pagitan nila—isang bagay na hindi nila kayang ipaliwanag. Ilang linggo matapos ang gabing iyon, kumalat sa media ang isang scandal na nag-uugnay sa kanilang dalawa. Upang protektahan ang kanyang reputasyon at negosyo, nag-alok si Alexander ng isang contract marriage kay Elena. Dahil sa problema ng kanyang pamilya, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang kasunduang iyon. Habang nakatira sila sa iisang bubong at nagpapanggap na masayang mag-asawa sa harap ng publiko, unti-unting lumalabo ang linya sa pagitan ng pagpapanggap at tunay na damdamin. Ipinakita ni Alexander ang isang side na walang ibang nakakakita—protective, intense, at possessive—habang si Elena ay unti-unting nahuhulog sa lalaking hindi niya dapat mahalin. Ngunit ang kanilang marupok na relasyon ay nanganganib nang bumalik si Veronica Alcantara, ang mapanganib na ex-girlfriend ni Alexander na determinadong sirain ang kanilang kasal. Sa gitna ng mga lihim, iskandalo, at matinding emosyon, kailangang piliin ni Elena kung lalayo ba siya… o ipaglalaban ang pag-ibig na nagsimula lamang bilang isang kontrata.

House Of Terry had lots of new employees everyday. But what was it about this New Security Guard that seemed to interest everyone? Carlos just got back from the States, just in time to take over his Father's Company. But what will happen when he decides to start up with the most measly job ever?

At the Hunting Festival, Cynthia Whitefang flashes a stack of cash and demands that my mate, Simon Fenwick, become her bodyguard. "Just accept it, Layla." Simon flashes his fangs and tells Cynthia to get lost in a rude tone. Our son, Noah Fenwick, who's chronically poisoned by silver, waves his fists angrily as well to chase Cynthia away. But I just stare at the stack of cash quietly. Memories of a conversation I had overheard last week surge into my mind at that moment. That time, Noah was tugging at the hem of Simon's shirt while standing under a tree. "Daddy, can I keep pretending to be poisoned? That way, Mommy will keep giving me money to treat my poison. I wanna buy gifts for Cynthia!" he said coquettishly. Simon had replied dotingly, "Of course! But you must remember to never tell Mommy that I'm not hurt. Only when she's filled with guilt will she love us forever." It turns out that my husband is faking his injury, while my son is faking being poisoned. They've played me like a fiddle the whole time. I, on the other hand, have to risk my life time and again to earn money just to treat their imaginary illness and wounds. To think that all of my earnings are used on pleasing another she-wolf… I raise my head, soon meeting Cynthia's confident gaze. "Okay. You can have him."

“I knew you’d always come back to me.” He has waited 412 years to say those words. Cursed by his own mother. His mate was slaughtered. His bloodline shattered. For four centuries Khaled has existed without purpose, without peace, without the love of his life. Then Monalisa runs into the rain and her blood finds him before he finds her. She is everything he remembers. The same stubbornness. The same fire. The same heart that beats too loud for a human girl. He wants to worship her. Protect her. Keep her. But the ancient whispers won’t stop. Her blood is too powerful. Her presence too familiar. The vampires who feared his mother go quiet when Monalisa walks into a room. The wolves hunt her. The witches whisper her name. The demons want her gone before she remembers. Remembers what? Khaled has one question he is terrified to answer. Is she the mate he lost and has been mourning for 412 years? Or is she the mother who cursed him, reborn in a teenager’s body, coming back to finish what she started? Her blood is his answer. He just has to survive finding out.

"What are you doing? You’re not supposed to remember." My voice trembled as he smirked, fingers sliding into my hair, tugging just enough to make me gasp. "You’re my wife, Eve." His lips brushed my ear, his breath hot, teasing. "It doesn’t matter how long it’s been. You’re still mine." His grip tightened as he pressed closer, his body flush against mine. "And those men always around you? Get rid of them. Or I will." Eve has never lived a day without looking over her shoulder. Abandoned at birth for being the "lesser" twin. Taken back only when her sister needed a kidney. Betrayed by her fiancé. Forced into marriage in her sister’s place. Now, she belongs to Xander—ruthless, powerful, and broken. A man feared by many, bound to her by a contract neither of them wanted. He is scarred, both inside and out, but somehow, she is the only one who soothes his demons. But what happens when Xander realizes he isn’t the only one watching his wife? And when Eve discovers that, for the first time in her life, someone is willing to burn the world for her?

Bad luck isn’t always far from your feet when you decide to have a one night stand with a stranger. It’s just a one night stand, right? I can put it in my past and move on. But then the next day, he was my trainee. I can deal with that—I’m his senior and I can make him forget about that night. But he was such a flirt and I gave in every time like I couldn’t resist him. But what I didn’t know is that he has a hidden identity.
