Why Do Committed Women Love Romance Novels

On his birthday, Eleanor Brook's childhood sweetheart asks her to grant his wish. He says that he wants to go to Norinia to see the aurora. Eleanor ignores the fact that I'm about to undergo tumor surgery and drains all the money from my bank account. She says that seeing the aurora is the first thing Joseph Miller has ever asked her to do, so she has to make it happen. "You're so rich. What's the harm in lending me some money? You're being so stingy." But after battling illness for two years, I've already burned through all my savings from my livestreaming days. The money she takes is the last one million dollars in my account.

My wife was gone for 6 months on a business trip. The day she returned, however, she was not alone. Hand in hand, my wife showed up with her lover—my client. This was not even the worst part—she was also 3 months' pregnant. My client, in all his beer-bellied arrogance, hurled the contract at my feet, smirking. "Mr. Carter, your wife has gone to so much trouble for this partnership. Truth be told, I would never, not even in a million years, have agreed to partner with you if it wasn't for her!" My wife caressed her pregnant belly and said smugly, "I was the one who successfully got Mr. Lewis' business! I'll let you have it, though, as long as you agree to get a divorce!" I tore the contract into shreds and roared, "You want a divorce? Fine! I'll give it to you, but I'll never sign this!"

Eu soube desde a infância que estava destinada a me casar com Kaden, o herdeiro Alfa da alcateia Moonstone. Como a única com a linhagem de sangue Abençoada pela Lua, eu era a única pessoa capaz de quebrar a maldição que assombrava a linhagem Alfa da Moonstone por gerações. Há um século, o ancestral da Moonstone insultou publicamente uma Alfa caída durante seu funeral. Ele zombou dela, dizendo: — Ela é apenas uma loba. Por que um funeral tão extravagante? Como uma loba poderia proteger a nossa espécie? Ela provavelmente subiu ao topo dormindo com alguém. A Deusa Selene ficou enfurecida. Ela lançou uma maldição perpétua: cada herdeiro Alfa direto da alcateia Moonstone desenvolveria traços femininos em seu décimo oitavo aniversário, regredindo a um Ômega de baixo nível. Somente ao acasalar com uma loba Abençoada pela Lua a maldição poderia ser desfeita. Eu estive apaixonada por Kaden por anos e não queria nada além de salvá-lo. Maya afirmou que também possuía a linhagem de sangue Abençoada pela Lua. Kaden tentou se casar com ela, mas eu expus a mentira dela e o impedi. Forçado por seus pais, Kaden finalmente me tornou sua Luna. Depois que ele me marcou, Kaden não regrediu a um Ômega, mas também não despertou sua linhagem de Rei Alfa. Naquela mesma noite, Maya, de coração partido, foi caminhar sozinha na floresta, onde foi encurralada por um grupo de lobos renegados e despedaçada. Meus pais e Kaden me odiaram por isso. Eles alegaram que eu era uma fraude cuja linhagem era impura, e que por isso Kaden nunca ascendeu verdadeiramente. Eles estavam convencidos de que Maya era a verdadeira Abençoada pela Lua. Acreditaram que meu ciúme e minhas mentiras a mataram e roubaram de Kaden sua chance de se tornar o Rei Alfa. Em uma noite de lua cheia, Kaden rasgou minha garganta na frente de toda a alcateia. Ele jogou meu corpo em uma piscina de prata para deixá-lo corroer. A última coisa que ouvi foi o seu rugido: — Sua vadia mentirosa! A morte de Maya está em suas mãos! Quando abri meus olhos novamente, estava de volta ao dia em que Kaden chegou à alcateia Silver Moon para propor o casamento.

But will the ice between them melt, or will the fire burn everything down?
