Eu me casei com Don Matteo em segredo. Toda vez que ele ia para a cama com sua paixão de infância, ele me prometia um casamento de verdade, diante das Cinco Famílias. Por cinco anos, Matteo me fez noventa e nove promessas. E ele me deixou no altar noventa e nove vezes. Na primeira vez, o gato premiado de Cecilia morreu. Para consolá-la, ele adiou nosso casamento por três meses. Eu fiquei sozinha no altar, com os olhos vermelhos, tentando acalmar os anciãos da família. Na segunda vez, Cecilia fez um escândalo em um cassino e quebrou um vaso antigo avaliado em cem milhões de dólares. Ele desviou o jato particular que nos levaria para o casamento e passou a noite inteira resolvendo a confusão que ela tinha armado. E todas as vezes, bem antes do nosso casamento, seu amor de infância enfrentava algum tipo de emergência. Eu chorava. Eu gritava. Cheguei até a colocar uma arma na cabeça dele. Mas Matteo apenas me encostava contra a parede e me calava com um beijo frio e firme. — Ela é só um caso. Você é a Sra. Falcone. Tenha um pouco de classe. Depois da nonagésima nona vez, eu cansei. Empurrei os papéis sobre a mesa. A tinta ainda estava fresca, com o selo da família Falcone carimbado na base. — Nosso casamento e nossa aliança acabaram.

In my past life, my mate, Rowan, left me and our newborn daughter in a remote village to fight for the Alpha title. Before he left, he promised me, "When I become Alpha, you will be my Luna. I'll make you the most respected wolf in the pack." I waited for three years, my daughter and I scraping by, often going hungry and cold. But I didn't learn the truth until I secretly traveled to the Blackstone Pack to find him, only to be beaten and cast out as a rogue. It turned out he had already accepted the former Alpha's terms: he would take his late brother's widow, Isabelle, and her children as his own, and in return, become the new Alpha. Furious, I tried to confront Rowan, but Isabelle poisoned me with wolfsbane. As I lay dying, I saw Rowan hold Isabelle gently and say, "Good. She's dead. Even if she had lived, you were always going to be my Luna." When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn on the very day Rowan was to inherit the Alpha title. This time, I took my daughter and went straight to my father, the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack. "Father," I cried, "I was wrong. I want to sever my mate bond with him!"

In the Gallo family’s private jewelry workshop. The wedding ring I’d waited six months for was on another woman’s finger. Gia’s hand. An international supermodel my fiancé, the Don of the Gallo family, was having an affair with. The workshop director stood by, a cold sweat soaking his back as he looked at Maximo on the sofa. Maximo stood up. He took Gia’s hand, lifting it to the light to admire the ring, his tone leaving no room for argument. “She’s walking in a major show in Paris next week. She needs this to make an impression on the haute couture scene. The family vault is full of jewels. Pick something else. Don't be dramatic.” Under the harsh lights, Gia admired herself in the mirror, her smile haughty and triumphant. I looked at my own reflection. Cashmere sweater and jeans. I didn’t belong here. This wedding, a year in the making, suddenly felt like a joke. I'm not upset. I just canceled the custom wedding dress along the way. “Maximo. The other jewels are perfectly fine.So I’m not getting married.”

I’m the Blackthorn family’s top surgeon and their “cleaner.” I’ve handled countless messes for Evan Blackthorn. I was also his secret lover for five years. He was inside me more times than I can count, holding me tight as I came apart, kissing me with an obsession for my body he never bothered to hide. It all ended after sex one night, when he said with a casual laugh, “I should get a wife, Rachel.” “And maybe you should find a good man and get married, too.” I wasn’t angry. I just quietly said, “Okay.” In my last life, I insisted on staying by his side. It got me both my hands broken, my career as a surgeon shattered. In the end, during a raid by a rival family, he left me behind as bait, holding his brother’s widow, Sofia, tenderly in his arms. So this time, I learned my lesson. I stayed away from him. Found a new man, just like he wanted. But this time, the always cool and calculated Mafia Don lost his mind.

Yo era una princesa del mar. En cuanto vi a Dominic, el Alfa de los lobos, caí rendida ante él. Quería ser su pareja, ser parte de su mundo. Por eso le entregué todo lo que yo era a la Diosa de la Luna. Pero él me encerró en la sala de aislamiento de la manada por tres días. Según él, para que “pensara en lo que había hecho”. Todo porque no corrí a ayudar a su amiga de la infancia, Harper. Se dejó caer en el banquete de la manada y todos los presentes se carcajearon. Harper lloró y se refugió en los brazos de Dominic. —Marina ha de tener celos de lo bien que me tratas. ¡Seguro usó su magia de forastera para hacerme caer frente a todos! Mientras me encerraba, la cara de Dominic reflejaba una gran decepción. —Te he consentido mucho, Marina. Y ahora usas mi amor como un arma contra mi manada. Te quedarás aquí tres días. Cuando hayas aprendido la lección, me buscas por el enlace mental y te disculparás. Entonces te dejaré salir. La sala de aislamiento estaba diseñada para limpiar espíritus. Pero él no sabía la verdad. Quemar salvia solo limpia el espíritu de un hombre lobo. Pero para una sirena, es veneno. El humo me quemó los pulmones. El veneno inundó mis venas. Me asfixié en esa habitación sellada. Y nadie se dio cuenta jamás.

Listen up, everyone!" I yelled to gain everyone's attention "Your trainer Antony, is going to be gone for the foreseeable future. YOU lucky ladies have the pleasure to be trained by me. Antony is a nursery teacher compared to the hell you will soon be facing by me" I stated authoritatively. "Little girl I have morning shits bigger than you" yelled a testosterone-induced jokester from the back causing snickers to erupt throughout the crowd. "Then I'd suggest eating more greens and lessening up on protein and testosterone. You do know that shit causes your willy to shrink up and fall off right" I retorted. I watched the man turn purple with rage before charging towards the stage. Immediately taking a side stance I prepare to take on the idiot Alpha 'gracefully'.  Kicking off the stage I performed my perfect Tornado barrel kick to the dumbass's head. Connecting with a loud crack and landing gracefully on my feet bowing to my audience of alphas, knowing full well that alpha is not getting up for a while. "Any more volunteers?" I said smugly. "Nope, alrighty then. So, going forward I am not someone to mess with. I do not take lightly to those who challenge me and I do not respond to assholes who think little ladies belong barefoot, pregnant, and in the kitchen. If you have those prejudices, I am more than willing to knock those thoughts clear from your head. And for jackasses like this one, off your head. Do I make myself clear?" Gabriella's family was cursed as she puts it. She cannot be commanded by any Alpha and for that, she cannot belong to any pack. From an early age, her father and 6 older brothers taught her how to fight, and turned trainer. Until she finds her Mate!

Silver burned. Holy light seared. I screamed my brother’s name, Theron, into the communication crystal. My consciousness was fading. His cold voice finally crackled through. "What now?"
