Chapter 1
“Trae a la doctora para que la inspeccione ahora mismo. No quiero contagiarme de alguna enfermedad por culpa de ella”
Aquella frase de Benedict retumba en la cabeza de Isabella mientras observa con los ojos llorosos la explanada de la mansión Arrabal desde la ventana del último piso. Su estómago está hecho nudos, no solo por el hambre que siente, sino por la forma que oyó, como se refería a ella más temprano, como si fuera una mercancía a la cual verificar su fecha de caducidad. ¿Qué clase de mujer cree es? ¿Una de esas prostitutas que se mete en su cama?
De pronto la puerta se abre e Isabella pega un brinco, su corazón se acelera, tiene los nervios destrozados. Dos mujeres y dos hombres entran en la habitación. Uno de ellos es él, su esposo. Aunque nunca antes se vieron, alguna vez vio una foto suya en una revista empresarial, y por supuesto ha oído innumerables versiones sobre él. En el juzgado tampoco se encontraron. Isabella estuvo en una sala totalmente sola por varios minutos, hasta que un juez vino con el acta que ella debía firmar, luego de que lo hizo, de nuevo la dejaron sola por varias horas. Incluso llegó a pensar que se habían olvidado de ella, pero entonces, dos hombres, ambos de aspecto desagradable, la trajeron hasta aquí.
Isabella ni siquiera se atreve a levantar la vista. No tiene que ser muy inteligente para darse cuenta de que a Benedict no le gusta ser desacatado, el aura que emana de él en estos momentos, es tan poderosa que la asfixia.
—Acuéstese, señora, la doctora va a inspeccionarla.
El otro hombre, mano derecha de Benedict, es quien ordena. Isabella lo reconoce al instante, es el mismo que fue a hacer el trato con su tío para su boda con Alessia hace tres meses.
Ella se aferra con fuerza a su vestido blanco, aquel que le pertenecía a su abuela y que le dieron para usar este día.
Con un temblor evidente en su cuerpo, camina hasta la cama y se sienta. Benedict la empuja y levanta su vestido bruscamente para dejarla expuesta frente a todos. Ella emite un pequeño jadeo ante la vergüenza. A través de sus ojos medio cerrados, Isabella todavía puede ver su rostro, esbozando una sonrisa maliciosa. La está humillando y le gusta hacerlo. Todo indica que su vida no será mejor aquí que en la casa de su tío.
—¿Acaso te avergüenza que te veamos así? —pregunta con tono de burla—. ¿No me digas que la hija única de Ricardo Murano todavía sigue pura?
Isabella se agarra de las sábanas como si fueran su última salvación. Las palabras de advertencia de su tío resuenan en su cabeza. Debe soportar, es su deber. Todo el bienestar y el honor de la familia depende ahora de ella, no puede fallarles de esa forma.
La doctora se coloca a su lado y abre sus piernas para inspeccionarla, ella gime bajo por el picor en su parte íntima. Durante unos minutos, mira, anota algo en su recetario, luego se levanta.
—Señor Arrabal, como lo sospechaba, ella ya no es virgen. Estoy llevando muestras al laboratorio para hacer algunos exámenes. Lo más seguro es que tenga alguna enfermedad de transmisión sexual, cuando tengamos el resultado, deberá seguir tratamiento. También programaré una cita para ella en la clínica para exámenes generales. Es mejor descartar todas las enfermedades posibles para evitar problemas futuros.
¿Enfermedad de transmisión sexual? Isabella está perpleja por la forma en que esa mujer se refiere a ella. ¿Cómo se atreve a asegurar eso frente a todos si ni siquiera la conoce? Rápidamente, ella coloca un cobertor para cubrirse.
Benedict asiente y pide con la mano a todos para que salgan de la habitación. Isabella permanece en la cama, sosteniendo el cobertor que la cubre como si fuese un escudo. Sus sollozos suaves irritan a su esposo.
—Tengo mucha curiosidad de saber por qué estás llorando —dice él acercándose a su lado. Sin mucha delicadeza, aparta algunos mechones de su frente—. ¿Es porque descubrí que eres una mujerzuela que se acostó con todo el mundo o porque tienes miedo de que descubra que eres en realidad una vil impostora?
La boca de Isabella se abre aterrorizada. Ella boquea un par de veces, pero no consigue decir nada coherente que la salve.
—Yo…
—¿Prefieres que te llame Isabella o Alessia? —la interrumpe Benedict con la ceja arqueada.
Él abre uno de los cajones de la mesita de noche y extrae de allí una carpeta. En ella hay mucha información de Isabella, incluso de cuando ella tenía apenas tres años y su madre estaba viva. Nunca tuvo padre, ya que las abandonó a ella y su madre cuando supo que estaba embarazada. Lo último que supo, es que él se había casado con una mujer del mismo nivel social y que vivían en el extranjero.
Cuando la madre de Isabella falleció a causa del cáncer, ella tenía apenas diez años. La jueza indicó que debía ir a vivir con su tío, hermano de su madre, y su familia. Desde ese día, nunca volvió a tener un poco de paz. Su vida era un infierno constante, debía conformarse con ser la sirviente y consumir las sobras para poder sobrevivir.
Isabella no puede detener sus lágrimas mientras recuerda su pasado.
Benedict arranca cada hoja de la carpeta mientras lee un pequeño fragmento de ellas. Los arruga y los tira en su cara. Ella se queda quieta, recibiendo cada insulto, que son como golpes a su corazón.
—¿Qué piensas decir ahora que ya sé quién eres? ¡Eres una mentirosa! ¡Impostora! ¿Eres tan codiciosa que tomaste el lugar que no te corresponde para disfrutar del dinero de la familia Arrabal? ¿O acaso la familia Murano me quiso estafar enviándome otra mujer en vez de la hija?

I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

Crossing Lines
Noah

After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire's Arms
On my birthday, he took her on vacation. On our anniversary, he brought her to our home and made love to her in our bed...
Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"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."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
Crowned by Fate
“She’d just be a Breeder, you would be the Luna. Once she’s pregnant, I wouldn’t touch her again.” my mate Leon’s jaw tightened.
I laughed, a bitter, broken sound.

"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.
