What To Do With A Crush

At my graduation ceremony, I finally gathered the courage to confess my feelings to my longtime crush. But before I could, I was hit by a car. When I opened my eyes again, he was standing right in front of me with a frigid glare. "You're awake? Perfect. Then let's discuss our divorce." I blinked at him, completely dazed. Divorce? Wait—what? I hadn't even confessed yet. How on earth had this turned into a divorce?

Dad and my brother, Jonah Atwood, have always favored my sister, Lisa Atwood, while resenting me. At my coming-of-age ceremony, when several werewolves in the Blackwolf pack corners and harasses me, it's Rex Vaughn, the Alpha's heir, who steps in to protect me. He throws the most extravagant mate-bonding ceremony for me, right before the Moon Goddess. Overnight, I become someone every other female wolf wishes they could be! I'm seven months pregnant when I show up at Lisa's birthday party. Somehow, we're ambushed by dark magic. As always, Dad and Jonah put Lisa first. They throw everything they have into shielding and dragging her out of the enemies' barrier, leaving me trapped in the center of the spell circle, nearly consumed. In the end, it's Rex who pulls me out. Later, I wake up in Stone Cabin, only to walk right into a scene that makes my blood run cold. "You paid off an old witch from the Darkmoon pack to set up that spell circle?" Rex's eyes blaze red with fury. "She's only seven months along, and you were already trying to rip the pup out of her? "What? Were you hoping Lily and her pup would blow up and die together?" Jonah and Dad shrink back, trying to explain themselves. "Lisa's wolf is fading fast. The old witch said the only way to save her and her wolf is to sacrifice someone with the same blood immediately…" Rex snaps, "I care about Lisa more than either of you do! Why else do you think I claimed Lily as my mate? Sure, I want to save Lisa, but not by sacrificing Lily and her pup!" That is how I learn the truth. Rex didn't bond with me because he cared. He did it to save Lisa. As it turns out, he's no different from Dad and Jonah. All they ever see is Lisa, the weak-born wolf. I was never part of the picture to begin with. Since no one's ever truly cared about me, I'll walk away with my pup.

My sister, Yvonne Jones, tried to murder the childhood friend of a rich heir in order to seduce him. Yvonne poisoned the woman's drink and pulled out her oxygen tube after she was sent to the hospital. When the rich heir arrived in a rush, Yvonne cried in his arms daintily. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I failed to protect her." I witnessed everything in the ward but didn't say a word about it. In my previous lifetime, I stopped Yvonne from poisoning the woman. I knew the rich heir would never let her get away with it if he found out about it. Yvonne was forced to give up her plan and even praised me for my foresight. However, she ended up poisoning me instead and stabbed me in the heart with her dagger when I got dizzy. "This is your fault! Die! If you hadn't stopped me, Sean Graham would've been mine!" When I opened my eyes next, I had returned to the day of the poisoning.

He is my art coach. And he sucked my dick after our first lesson, obviously, I didn't know he was gay! Now, I have to accept that I am impossibly attracted to a man who is eleven years older than me and a relationship between us could never be possible….or? ~~~    “Do you regularly do this with men you meet for the first time?” Min-a asked, his eyes still appearing a little dilated.    “If you mean giving them a ride in my Mustang? No, I don’t do that.” Seung-ho replied, sounding serious. He glanced at Min-a to see a frown knitting his eyebrows close, and he chuckled. “If it would make you less grumpy, sucking your dick bruised my jaw. So, I don’t think I would be giving free blow jobs to any other man I meet in the near future…”  ~~~~ 22-year-old Model influencer, Korea's number one bad boy, Seo Min-a, has everything a boy could want: great looks, amazing talent, the only son of a billionaire family, millions of followers, and fangirls at his feet.

No dia do exame de admissão da faculdade, a amiga de infância do meu namorado percebeu que havia esquecido o comprovante de inscrição em casa. Ele insiste em voltar para buscá-lo, mas eu o impeço. No fim, ela perde a prova de humanas. Tomada pelo desespero, ela se joga à morte. Mais tarde, meu namorado e eu somos aprovados na Bloomdale University, a melhor universidade do país. Construímos carreiras de sucesso e ganhamos salários de sete dígitos — nosso casamento é perfeito. No entanto, no aniversário da morte da amiga de infância dele, ele me esfaqueia repetidas vezes, tirando a minha vida. — Foi culpa sua ela ter morrido. — Ele diz. — Se eu tivesse voltado para pegar o comprovante de inscrição da Ginger, ela não teria perdido a esperança e tirado a própria vida. Quando abro os olhos novamente, percebo que voltei ao mesmo dia do exame de admissão. A voz ansiosa do meu namorado ressoa no meu ouvido. — Amelia, eu preciso voltar para pegar o comprovante de inscrição da Ginger. Desta vez, eu sorrio e digo: — Pode ir. Por favor, tome cuidado.

Três meses antes do casamento, meu namorado postou no Instagram a certidão de casamento dele com minha irmã adotiva, junto com fotos da barriga de grávida dela. A legenda dizia: [Finalmente demos as boas-vindas ao nosso pequeno, dentro da lei.] Minha irmã comentou com um emoji de vergonha. Minha mãe até curtiu e escreveu: [Quando o bebê nascer, eu cuido dele para vocês aproveitarem o romance de vocês.] Não aguentei e comentei um ponto de interrogação. No mesmo instante, fui bombardeada com mensagens furiosas dele: [É só um casamento de um ano pra ajudar ela! Depois que o bebê nascer, eu volto pra você, pra que tanta pressa?]

Depois de terminar o treinamento de Luna que toda loba sonhava, fui até meu Alfa, Damien, com um pedido. Para romper nosso vínculo de companheiros. — Tudo isso, só porque perdi sua cerimônia para ajudar a companheira do meu falecido irmão, Lilith, com os renegados no território dela? Ele deu um sorrisinho de desdém e falou baixinho, com a voz rouca. Assenti, em silêncio. — Dei minha palavra ao meu irmão antes dele morrer. Jurei que protegeria Lilith. Não posso quebrar esse juramento! Por que você não consegue entender? — ele sussurrou, suspirando pesadamente. — Pare de ser tão infantil! Por que você não pode ser razoável, como Lilith é? Eu o empurrei com uma calma gélida. Dez anos. Por dez anos depois que nosso vínculo foi confirmado, abri mão de tudo. Cada passatempo, cada sonho… tudo para aprender a ser a Luna dele. Todos na alcateia achavam que eu era indefesa sem ele. Que eu não conseguiria nem sobreviver sem a proteção dele. Mas dessa vez, eu estava farta. Ele não sabia que eu já tinha contatado as alcateias neutras em outra terra. Eu estava indo para algum lugar onde o cheiro Alfa dele nunca poderia me alcançar.

“Kael…please…make it fast. I want you.” ungol ko. At ginawa nga ni Kael, mabilis siyang gumalaw sa ibabaw ko, at sa sobrang bilis niya gusto ko na siyang tumigil lalo na’t mabigat ang paghawak niya sa baywang ko habang binabayo ako. “Kael…stop, ” Hindi natapos ang sasabihin ko nang bigla siyang tumigil. Tumayo siya, mabigat ang bawat galaw. Nakatitig lang sa sahig. “Kael?” mahina kong tanong. Tahimik siya at saka dahan-dahan siyang tumingin sa akin. “Solene,” sabi niya, kalmado. “Let’s get a divorce.” Parang may sumabog sa tenga ko. “Ano?” halos hindi ko marinig ang boses ko. “Ano’ng sinabi mo?” Tuwid ang tindig niyang sumagot. “I already talked to my lawyer.” Huminga ako nang malalim, pilit na pinapaklam ang sarili ko. “Bakit?” “She’s sick.” Tumigil siya sandali bago tumingin sa akin. “Si Natalyn… she only has six months left.” Namilog ang mga mata ko. “So?” “She wants to spend her last days as my wife.” Walang pagbabago sa tono niya. “After that… I’ll come back to you.” Napangiti ako. Mapait. “Babalik ka?” bulong ko. “Para ka lang aalis sa bakasyon.” “Please, Solene.” Mahina pero mariin. “She’s dying. Don’t make this harder.” Natahimik ako. Ang hangin sa pagitan naming dalawa ay mabigat. Ang mga kamay kong kanina’y nakayakap sa kanya, ngayo’y nakalapat sa kama, nakakuyom. Anong kahibangan ito? Hindi pa kami tapos sa ginagawa namin pero bigla nalang siyang titigil at isang nakakagulat na balita ang sasabihin sa akin?
