Why Did Tanjiros Eyes Bleed

Years ago, Elijah’s world shattered the day his husband, Gabe, vanished without a word. They said it was a plane crash. They said there were no survivors.

But this second chance comes with a price and a past neither of them are ready to face. Was Gabe running from something… or someone? And if Elijah helps him remember, will love bring them home or destroy them both? A dark, emotionally raw MM romance about memory, betrayal, and the painful beauty of second chances. .

The dying heir to Silverbay's showbiz empire suddenly announces he'll select a bride at random from the city's prominent families, hoping the marriage can bring some luck and save his life. On the night before my own wedding, his men arrive and inform us that the Simmons family has been chosen. My parents have just three days to deliver a daughter to him. As soon as my sister, Roxanne Simmons, hears the news, she breaks down in tears and rushes to my fiance for help. When he sees her crying, Clinton Whitfield drops to his knees in front of me, under everyone's gaze. "Mr. Sterling enjoys tormenting virgins. If Roxanne marries him, who knows what he'll do to her? "But you're already past the marrying age, so he won't be interested in you. Please, help Roxy this once!" He looks away, his voice heavy with guilt as he continues, "Besides, he doesn't have much time left. When you return, I'll marry you." Tears well up in my eyes. I ask, stunned, "And what if I don't want to?" Clinton's gaze turns cold, his earlier guilt replaced by ruthless intent. "Then I'll make sure you go to him myself." I laugh bitterly as a chill runs through me. "Fine. I'll go instead."

My mother-in-law got kidnapped, but my powerful husband, who ran both sides of the law, was too busy throwing a birthday bash for his old flame's dog. The kidnappers warned them they'd kill her if he didn't show up. I didn't beg him to act because, in my past life, I dragged him away from that party despite being eight months pregnant to save his mom. His old flame, who tagged along, got spotted by the kidnappers' lookout. They assaulted her and brutally killed her. Her body parts were left to be eaten by dogs. Furious, he gunned down the culprits and vanished for a month. When he returned, he never mentioned it. Then I gave birth to our son and was full of joy. But he threw me into the woods, weak and defenseless. Wild animals tore me apart, leaving nothing behind. "You were jealous of Alicia and had the kidnappers kill her?" he accused. "You don't deserve her happiness." When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day his mom got kidnapped.

Mis padres adoptaron a un huérfano. Yo le tomé mucho cariño y lo quería como a un hijo propio. Hasta que me di cuenta de que se parecía cada vez más a mi esposo, Javier Mendoza, y que a mi hermana menor llamaba "mamá" a escondidas. Resultó que mi esposo que tanto amaba me había sido infiel desde hacía tiempo. Él y mi hermana habían formado una feliz familia en secreto. Hasta contaban con la bendición de mis padres. Cuando todo se supo, mi hermana me rogó que los dejara ser felices, y mis padres me ordenaron que les cediera el lugar. El niño que había criado con todo el amor me gritó que ojalá muriera de la peor manera. Pero lo que nadie esperaba era que Javier se negara al divorcio. Lloraba suplicándome perdón, diciendo que me amaba profundamente y que lo del niño había sido solo un error. Fingí creer en su pasión y le dije: —Siete días. Te doy siete días. Si logras demostrarme tu sinceridad, te perdonaré. Él, eufórico, cumplió mi cada deseo y me trató como a un tesoro. Hasta donó todos sus ahorros a mi nombre y obligó a mi hermana a arrodillarse en la nieve para pedirme perdón. Todos pensaron que al final lo perdonaría, hasta el día en que la policía vino a pedir la identificación de un cadáver. Ese día él enloqueció por completo. Lo que Javier nunca supo es que en realidad yo llevaba siete días muerta. La Muerte me había permitido regresar por siete días para darle mi propia despedida.

Cuando entré en aquel juego de terror, mi miopía extrema me jugó una mala pasada. Con la poca visibilidad que tenía, a la niña fantasma del vestido rojo la consideré como si fuera mi propia hija. Al Boss lo adopté ni más ni menos que como a mi esposo, y a esas criaturas viejas y extrañas, las traté con esmero al verlas mis propios padres. La primera vez que me topé con el Boss, no pude evitar acercarme y darle un toquecito en los abdominales mientras le decía: —¡Qué cuerpazo te cargas, mi vida! Lástima que estés tan chaparrito... Él soltó una risa bastante tensa, se puso la cabeza que tenía cortada de vuelta en el cuello, y mostrándome los dientes me soltó: —¡Mido un metro ochenta y seis! ¿Y ahora qué me dices?

Soy la falsa heredera malvada que creció en una familia rica. Después de mi muerte, mi amor de la infancia publicó mis fotos íntimas, llamándome una cualquiera que solo sabía seducir hombres. Tras lo cual, la gente llegó a casa gritando que me merecía la muerte. Mis papás, para librarse de mi mala suerte, quemaron toda la mansión esa misma noche e incluso les dieron mis cenizas a los perros. Todos decían que me lo merecía. Hasta que el día de la gran boda en vivo entre la verdadera heredera y mi amor de infancia, recibieron mi regalo de bodas.

Akala niya one-night stand lang... pero boss pala niya kinabukasan?! Nang lokohin siya ng boyfriend, naglaslas-luha’t alak si Cara Sarmiento sa isang bar. In a moment of drunken revenge, she dragged a mystery guy to her hotel room—wala siyang pakialam kung sino ang lalaking iyon. Pero kinaumagahan, nagulat si Cara... gwapo to the highest level ang lalaki! Sa hiya, tumakas siya at nag-iwan pa ng 2,000 pesos bilang "bayad." Pero ang mas nakakahiya? The next day, nalaman niyang ang lalaki sa kama kagabi… ay ang bagong CEO ng kumpanyang pinapasukan niya—Elias Montemayor. At mukhang hindi siya makakawala agad-agad, dahil pinapatawag siya nito... sa opisina niya. Alone.

Five years later, Stella was released from prison—only to face the brutal vengeance of Joseph, the new Alpha. Convinced she had caused his father’s death, he tormented her mercilessly. Yet he never imagined the truth: the accident five years ago had been his father’s doing, and Stella had been innocent all along. Now, as Joseph realizes he’s fallen in love with her, where does that leave him?

I push through my Gamma warrior training ahead of schedule just to get back to the pack sooner. All I want is to stand beside my Alpha, Kyle Faucher, and finally complete our mate-bonding ceremony. But when I step into our house, scarred and feeling hopeful, I see 100 old boarding passes to the Darkmoon pack littering the floor. That pack is only a mile from my training grounds. Kyle's been that close for two years, and still, he never came. I sprint to the place where we were supposed to have our mate-bonding ceremony, clinging to the desperate hope that there's an explanation. But the moment I burst through the doors, I stopped cold. Kyle is down on one knee, dressed in a tailored suit, his eyes locked on someone with a softness I've never seen in him before. Standing across from him, smiling through her tears, is my stepsister, Vivian Blackwell. "Vivian, I haven't completed the mate-bonding ceremony with Serene. Say the word, and I'll reject her and mark you right now." At that moment, the world goes still, and I even forgot how to breathe. So this is what he's been doing while I was gone, chasing the woman he never let go of. Meanwhile, I spent those two years giving everything I had, trying to become someone worthy of standing by his side. I don't ask why or shed a tear. I just turn around and walk away. If she's what he wants, then so be it. The mate-bonding ceremony I dreamed of will be theirs instead. But the second I'm gone, he loses it and sends every warrior looking for me.

He looked right through me. Alpha Damon, my fated mate, saw only a cursed, scentless servant unworthy of his notice. His rejection was a cold blade to the heart. Then, blood and chaos shattered everything. A rogue attack broke the curse binding my true Alpha power, revealing the wolf he’d scorned. Now, he sees me. Now, he wants me. The pursuit has begun – fierce, desperate, possessive. He tries apologies, demands, even force, driven by the bond he denied. But I am not the broken girl he remembers. He will learn that earning forgiveness from the Luna he brutalized means bowing before the power he dismissed. The chase is on, but this time, I set the rules.
