Chapter 1
A lo largo de la historia, se ha establecido una verdad universal: una mujer tiene mayor valor personal si se mantiene "pura" hasta el matrimonio. Es omnipresente en todas las culturas.
En ciertos países, ese valor es más que moral o filosófico; es monetario. En la India, por ejemplo, un esposo espera pagar una dote a la familia de su novia a cambio de su pureza.
En la antigua Europa, la familia de la novia aportaba el dinero, llamado dote, que la ayudaba a encontrar un matrimonio favorable. El dinero y las propiedades intercambiaban manos entre los patriarcas de las familias poderosas.
El sexo con una virgen era tan valorado en Japón que un hombre adinerado podía "patrocinar" a una joven aprendiz de geisha, llamada maiko. Toda su crianza y formación con una geisha mentora estaba cubierta, sus gastos de manutención y muchos lujos eran proporcionados por él. ¿Y a cambio de este enorme gasto? El hombre obtenía el derecho al mizuage, el ritual que le otorgaba el privilegio de tomar su virginidad. Se esperaba que nunca la volviera a ver. Así que este gasto era solo por esa noche.
El premio máximo en todos estos ejemplos era la virginidad de la mujer y en la mayoría de los casos la mujer en cuestión no obtenía ningún beneficio de mantenerse pura.
Así que me pregunto, en nuestra época, ¿puede una mujer cambiar este patrón y beneficiarse de su propia pureza? Me encuentro en la inusual situación de poder descubrirlo.
He decidido denunciar los crímenes y las imposiciones impuestas a mis hermanas mujeres desde el principio de los tiempos hasta ahora. Y, por lo tanto, ofrezco un nuevo paradigma: uno donde una mujer puede vender su pureza y disfrutar de sus frutos.
El derecho a mi virginidad será cedido al mejor postor.
Había actualizado la página web al menos veinte veces durante esa última hora, con interminables minutos entre cada clic. El Manifiesto ya era una realidad y estaba a punto de afectar mi futuro de forma decisiva.
Al final, me recosté en el asiento, incrédula, sin aliento. Era definitivo. Un completo desconocido acababa de comprometerse a pagar tres cuartos de millón de dólares a cambio de mi virginidad.
El dinero de mi beca había menguado y los gastos apenas se cubrían con los anuncios en mi blog y mi trabajo de media jornada como celadora en el hospital.
La idea de la subasta surgió de esa necesidad, a pesar de los —altos ideales— del Manifiesto de la Virginidad. Honestamente, la publiqué para iniciar una conversación sobre la recuperación de la antigua tradición de aprovecharse de la pureza femenina. Y sí, quería dejar claro el valor de usar mi virginidad para mi propio beneficio. Creía firmemente en esos ideales, pero mi principal motivación era el dinero y la seguridad. Después de usar la mayor parte del dinero de mi préstamo para ayudar a mi madre con sus gastos médicos, no tenía nada ahorrado para la facultad de medicina.
Mi única opción era empeñar mi futuro por completo, abrumando mi futuro con el peso de unos préstamos estudiantiles desorbitados. ¿De verdad quería graduarme de medicina, hacer tres años de residencia y, además, una beca de oncología?
Faltaban poco más de tres meses para el examen y aún quedaba muchísimo por repasar. Respiré hondo y repasé los temas de esta semana: hidrocarburos y compuestos oxigenados. Miré el reloj. Tenía que encontrarme con Jon en la biblioteca para seguir estudiando esa tarde. El estudio en grupo sería al día siguiente y, como siempre, quería adelantarme. Si no llegaba a esa sesión preparado de sobra, siempre sentía que estaba haciendo el ridículo.
Así que me puse a trabajar.
Esa noche, me encontré con Jon en la biblioteca de la universidad, en nuestro cubículo de estudio habitual. Y, sinceramente, agradecí la distracción de mi constante preocupación por la subasta.
—¿Y entonces?—, dijo Jon mientras me acomodaba en mi silla habitual.
Lo miré con el ceño fruncido. —¿Qué?—
—¿Puedes venir?— Me miró con sus ojos azules suplicantes.
Jon y yo nos conocimos durante el año anterior de premedicina en la Universidad Chapman. Él se había transferido de una de las prestigiosas universidades de la Ivy League. Nunca supe todo lo que pasó allí. No era que estuviera ahorrando dinero yendo a Chapman, una universidad privada con precios muy altos.
Mi beca académica había cubierto mi matrícula universitaria y me había esforzado al máximo para completar los requisitos de graduación en tres años y medio en lugar de los cuatro habituales, así que este último semestre lo dediqué a trabajar y estudiar. Si no mejoraba mi puntuación en el MCAT, todo esto habría sido en vano y estaría buscando otra cosa que hacer con mi licenciatura en biología.
Al ver mi mirada perdida, exhaló un profundo suspiro. —¿Olvidaste cargar el teléfono otra vez?—
Metí la mano en mi bolso y lo saqué. Muerto como un clavo. Le di una sonrisa torcida y me encogí de hombros. —No suelo escribir mucho. Ya te lo dije—.
Se pasó una mano por su pelo rubio y rizado. «Melanie, tienes que entrar en el siglo XXI. Para empezar, solo la gente mayor tiene teléfonos así», dijo con un gesto de disgusto.
Retiré el teléfono, con una oleada protectora de cariño injustificado creciendo en mi pecho. ¿Qué tenía de malo un plan de prepago? ¿Y me atrevería a decirle que la razón por la que no había recibido el mensaje no era porque se me hubiera olvidado cargar el teléfono, sino porque me había quedado sin minutos y no tenía dinero para pagar la mensualidad?
Él sabía que yo era la típica estudiante con dificultades. Simplemente no sabía cuánto, porque nunca lo había invitado a mi casa. Con solo echar un vistazo a mi estudio de buceo, sabría al instante mi situación financiera.
Nunca había tenido chicos en casa, aparte de Heath, pero incluso él solía desdeñar mi estudio reformado. Habíamos sido compañeros de piso hasta el año anterior, cuando él y su novio decidieron mudarse juntos. Debido a mis limitaciones económicas, tuve que mudarme a un piso más bajo, mucho más abajo, a mi estudio, que estaba encima del garaje independiente de una de esas preciosas casas antiguas de estilo artesano. Por desgracia, hacía un calor infernal en verano y un frío glacial —si es que eso era posible en el sur de California— en invierno.
—¿Y qué me estabas preguntando?— Sentí una opresión en el pecho, temerosa y expectante. Por favor, no me vuelvas a invitar a salir. Por favor, no me vuelvas a invitar a salir. Me estaba cansando de decirle que no. Era más insistente que la mayoría de los chicos. Me acomodé un mechón de pelo largo y oscuro detrás de la oreja y lo miré expectante.
—Hay una cena...— Se detuvo cuando respiré hondo y lo miré fijamente. Como no dije nada, continuó: —Es un evento benéfico. Mis padres participan todos los años y me preguntaron si podía ir, ya que no pueden venir—.
—¿Cuando?—
—La próxima semana.—
—¿Vestido?—
—Formal.—
—No voy a ese tipo de eventos—. Por no hablar del hecho de que no tenía nada que ponerme que pudiera considerarse ni remotamente —formal—.
—Vamos, Melanie —suspiró con un gruñido—. No es que te esté pidiendo que te cases conmigo.
Enderecé la espalda y sentí una bola tensa entre los omóplatos. Intenté sentirme halagada por su evidente atracción, pero la verdad es que me pareció más bien un obstáculo para nuestro tiempo de estudio de calidad. —Lo siento. Por favor, no te lo tomes como algo personal. Simplemente no salgo con nadie—.
Negó con la cabeza, exhalando. «Y nunca vas a terminar con nadie si el único chico con el que sales es gay».
Respiré por la nariz y exhalé por la boca. Sabía que no pretendía hacerme daño. Se llevaba bien con Heath; de hecho, había mencionado que Heath podía con él fácilmente (un comentario un poco tonto porque Heath podía con casi cualquier tipo; me alegré de tenerlo de mi lado).
—¿Qué te hace pensar que estoy interesada en un compañero?—

"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."

The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
"You're like a sister to me."
Those were the actual words that broke the camel's back.
Not after what just happened. Not after the hot, breathless, soul-shaking night we spent tangled in each other's arms.
I knew from the beginning that Tristan Hayes was a line I shouldn't cross.
He wasn't just anyone, he was my brother's best friend. The man I spent years secretly wanting.
But that night... we were broken. We had just buried our parents. And the grief was too heavy, too real...so I begged him to touch me.
To make me forget. To fill the silence that death left behind.
And he did. He held me like I was something fragile.
Kissed me like I was the only thing he needed to breathe.
Then left me bleeding with six words that burned deeper than rejection ever could.
So, I ran. Away from everything that cost me pain.
Now, five years later, I'm back.
Fresh from rejecting the mate who abused me. Still carrying the scars of a pup I never got to hold.
And the man waiting for me at the airport isn't my brother.
It's Tristan.
And he's not the guy I left behind.
He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
The mafia princess return
Her CEO Stalker and Her Second Chance Mate
“Where is that slut of yours, Creedon? Must be a hell of a lay. The coffee is going to be cold,” Michael complained. “What's the point in keeping her around? She's not even your breed.”
Not his breed?
“You know me, I like nice accessories, Besides, she is smarter than she looks."
An Accessory?
“Stop toying with the girl. You're letting her get too close to us. Not to mention the scandal you’ll have with the press once they realize she's a poor country girl. America will fall in love with her, you will just crush them when you’re done with her. Poor Image...” The sound of fits hitting the table silenced the room.
“She’s mine! She is no concern of yours. I can fuck her, breed her, or cast her aside, remember who's in charge here. “If I want to use her as a cum bucket, I will." His anger explosive.
Breed me? Cast me aside? Cum bucket? I think not!*
“She is pretty, but she’s of no value to you, Creedon. A pebble in a sea of diamonds, darling. You can have any woman you desire. Fuck her out of your system, and sign off on her,” Latrisha spat. “That one is going to become a pain in your ass. You need a bitch that will submit.”
Someone, please, come mop up the word vomit this woman has just spewed.
“I have her under control, Trisha, back the fuck off.”
**Control? Oh, hell naw! ** He hadn't met the take no bullshit southern bitch I could be.
Rage brewed as I elbowed open door.
Well, here goes everything.
Mated by Contract to the Alpha

Damien Sterling—future Alpha of the Silver Moon Shadow Pack and ruthless CEO of Sterling Group—slid a contract across his desk with predatory grace.
“Sign this, little doe, and I'll give you everything your heart desires. Wealth. Power. Revenge. But understand this—the moment you put pen to paper, you become mine. Body, soul, and everything in between.”
I should have run. Instead, I signed my name and sealed my fate.
Now I belong to the Alpha. And he's about to show me just how wild love can be.
