Na Minha Hora Mais Sombria Você é Minha Luz
Saylam Mangenda
Introduction
As coisas mudaram quando a vi.
Ela parecia diferente. Não era mais a mesma garotinha por quem eu tinha me apaixonado. Agora era uma mulher feita.
Ela estava deslumbrante.
Eu precisava tê-la debaixo de mim, só por uma noite. Eu a tiraria do meu sistema e seguiria em frente.
Provavelmente isso era uma mentira.
Meses depois.
Aqui estou eu, afogando minhas mágoas no álcool na minha última noite como solteiro.
Eu estava prestes a me casar com uma mulher que nunca amei de verdade.
Tara me deu um sorriso tímido enquanto se aproximava do altar com seu pai.
Kelsey desviou o olhar e me ignorou.
Eu estava prestes a colocar o anel no dedo de Tara quando a voz do pai dela me interrompeu.
"Pare."
Eu me virei e o encarei.
Tara agarrou a mão dele, furiosa.
"Papai, o que você está fazendo?!"

Chapter 1
PONTO DE VISTA DE MARCUS
Como tudo começou.
"Chelsea, me desculpe, tente entender, eu fiz tudo isso porque..." Eu não conseguia deixar as palavras saírem da minha boca.
Seus olhos encontraram os meus enquanto ela me olhava com decepção.
"Porque o quê, Marcus?" Ela exigiu, chorando. Fazer ela chorar nunca foi minha intenção e isso me fez sentir um completo idiota.
"Você arruinou minha vida, Marcus, do seu jeito todo errado. Sabe, quando o Max me disse que foi você quem me fez ser demitida de propósito, eu não quis acreditar nele. Porque eu confiava em você, mas eu não sabia que você era um psicopata."
Eu não podia simplesmente deixá-la ir embora de mim, eu sabia que tinha estragado tudo e quando toda a minha merda foi revelada, eu não tinha uma explicação adequada; só me fazia parecer um egoísta ganancioso que queria uma mulher só para si.
"Deixe-me explicar, eu sei que não faz sentido, Chelsea, mas tente me ouvir."
Ela cruzou os braços sobre o peito.
"Eu conheci uma garota quando era um adolescente mal-humorado. Eu não queria nada com ela porque ela tinha tudo o que eu queria."
"Uma família amorosa."
"Eu tinha inveja dela porque eu tinha uma família bagunçada que me batia e me abusava todos os dias."
Eu podia ver as lágrimas nos olhos dela, mas eu não podia parar agora, eu tinha que ser honesto com ela e contar como eu me estraguei.
"Ela era minha vizinha. Tinha cabelos ruivos sedosos e olhos verdes que mostravam a profundidade de seu coração bondoso. Ela era um anjo e eu era o diabo, Chelsea. Ela queria ser minha amiga, mas eu a rejeitei porque não conseguia suportar meu sorriso feliz enquanto eu sofria."
"Eu era apenas um garoto cheio de escuridão, uma escuridão que eu tinha herdado do meu pai horrível. Eu desejava que ela simplesmente ficasse longe de mim e me deixasse no meu lugar escuro onde eu sempre tentava encontrar conforto."
"Ela era cheia de luz que mudava todos quando sorria para você. Isso me mudou, mas ela se foi e eu nunca mais ouvi falar dela."
"Quando eu finalmente decidi deixá-la entrar no meu coração, ela se afastou de mim. Eu estava quebrado, com raiva, triste e machucado. Eu jurei nunca ser fraco e ser uma vítima do amor."
Engoli em seco, segurando as mãos frias dela nas minhas.
"Demorou um tempo para eu perceber que a amava, mesmo que eu não quisesse admitir. Eu ainda te amo, Chelsea, e sempre vou te amar."
Ela me olhou com os olhos arregalados, lágrimas ainda rolando pelas bochechas, e eu as enxuguei.
"Marcus, você destruiu tudo entre nós e eu não sei se vou confiar em você de novo" ela sussurrou suavemente.
Eu assenti.
"Não é o suficiente..."
"Eu sei" eu murmurei baixinho enquanto acariciava sua bochecha gentilmente. Eu sentia muita falta dela, tê-la tão perto de mim novamente me fazia sentir mais forte.
Ela se afastou dos meus braços.
"Você vai se casar amanhã, Marcus, com a Tara, e não existe mais 'nós', você já nos perdeu" ela sussurrou enquanto acariciava sua barriga grávida.
"Isso é um adeus e eu desejo tudo de bom na sua nova vida... Estou feliz por você."
"Chelsea, não precisa terminar assim, eu posso cancelar tudo com apenas uma ligação, não me deixe."
"Fique..." Eu sussurrei e pressionei meus lábios nos dela com força, provando sua doçura.
"Por favor" eu implorei quando me afastei.
"Adeus, Marcus" ela disse suavemente e começou a se afastar.
Eu trouxe isso para mim mesmo e talvez eu mereça sentir esse tipo de dor. Eu perdi Chelsea e nunca veria nosso filho nascer. Por um tempo, eu apenas fiquei ali, impotente e perdido. Eu não sabia o que fazer para sair dessa situação da noite para o dia.
Ela foi a razão pela qual eu mudei para melhor, eu não podia perdê-la pela segunda vez. Foi minha culpa que ela se foi. Eu a afastei e agora ela se foi. Suas palavras ainda faziam meu coração doer de tanta dor. A dor de perdê-la era insuportável e eu provavelmente merecia isso.
Max arruinou tudo ao contar a verdade para ela.
Lá vai meu coração batendo
Porque você é a razão
Estou perdendo o sono
Por favor, volte agora
Lá vai minha mente correndo
E você é a razão
Que ainda estou respirando
Estou sem esperança agora
Eu escalaria todas as montanhas
E nadaria todos os oceanos
Só para estar com você
E consertar o que eu quebrei
Oh, porque eu preciso que você veja
Que você é a razão
Lá vão minhas mãos tremendo
E você é a razão
Meu coração continua sangrando
E eu preciso de você agora
Se eu pudesse voltar no tempo
Eu garantiria que a luz derrotasse a escuridão
Eu passaria todas as horas, de todos os dias
Mantendo você segura
Eu escalaria todas as montanhas
E nadaria todos os oceanos
Só para estar com você
E consertar o que eu quebrei
Oh, porque eu preciso que você veja
Que você é a razão
Eu não quero mais lutar
Eu não quero mais me esconder
Eu não quero mais chorar
Volte, eu preciso que você me segure
(Você é a razão)
Venha um pouco mais perto agora
Só um pouco mais perto agora
Venha um pouco mais perto
Eu preciso que você me segure esta noite
Eu escalaria todas as montanhas
E nadaria todos os oceanos
Só para estar com você
E consertar o que eu quebrei
Porque eu preciso que você veja
Que você é a razão
Talvez eu só tenha que aceitar que a perdi de vez desta vez. Pela primeira vez na minha vida, eu queria poder voltar no tempo e encontrar uma maneira de fazê-la ficar.
Quando a conheci pela primeira vez, minha vida era apenas preto e cinza e eu era apenas um garoto de cabelo preto que estava quebrado. Eu nunca tive a família amorosa perfeita como todas as crianças sortudas por aí.
Uma garota de cabelo ruivo se mudou para a casa ao lado com sua família. Ela era um anjo e eu era o diabo, tão perigoso que eu mancharia sua aura pura.
Mas, tão teimosa como ela é, nunca quis ficar longe de mim.
Chelsea era a definição de praticamente perfeita.
Quando eu era criança, sempre era intimidado na escola e tinha muito medo de revidar e me defender.
"Ei, esquisito, vejo que você tem um almoço legal, passe para cá," ordenou Sam enquanto olhava para minha torta de maçã caseira.
Meu eu de seis anos estava congelado, muito fraco para fazer qualquer coisa naquela época, eu sempre fui um covarde.
Mas a voz interior continuava dizendo: reaja, Marcus, ou eles vão passar por cima de você.
"Eu-eu não vou te dar meu almoço," eu disse baixinho e me levantei do meu assento.
Sam riu, empurrando seus amigos para abrir espaço para ele.
"Então você acha que é durão, Marcus, hein?" Ele exigiu com raiva e começou a me empurrar com força.
Meus lábios começaram a tremer.
"Você vai chorar, covarde?"
Eu tentei socá-lo, mas ele desviou do meu golpe e me empurrou, torcendo meu braço no processo. Seu aperto ficou mais forte e eu ouvi meu braço finalmente estalar como um galho.
"Ahhh, pare, está doendo," eu chorei amargamente.
Sam sorriu e me soltou.
Eu desabei no chão, gemendo de dor, lágrimas amargas rolando pelas minhas bochechas enquanto eu chorava sozinho.
Aquele dia eu voltei para casa com o braço quebrado.
"Você é um perdedor, Marcus, se você fosse realmente meu filho, teria revidado como um homem," disse meu pai com raiva.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.
Genevieve loses a bet she can’t afford to pay. In a compromise, she agrees to convince any man her opponent chooses to go home with her that night. What she doesn’t realize when her sister’s friend points out the brooding man sitting alone at the bar, is that man won’t be okay with just one night with her. No, Matteo Accardi, Don of one of the largest gangs in New York City doesn’t do one night stands. Not with her anyway.
From Best Friend To Fiancé
I let out a little gasp. His thumb rubbed across my lower lip.
“I don’t just want to fuck you—I want to keep you. You’re my favorite sin, and I’ll commit it again and again until you understand you’re mine.” His lips twitched a little. “You’ve always been mine, Savannah.”

To survive it, Savannah brings a date—her charming, clean-cut best friend, Roman Blackwood. The one man who’s always had her back. He owes her a favor, and pretending to be her fiancé? Easy.
Until fake kisses start to feel real.
Now Savannah’s torn between keeping up the act… or risking everything for the one man she was never supposed to fall for.

Still.

Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.

It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.

The Biker's Fate
I squeezed my eyes shut.
"Dani," he pressed. "Do you get me?"
"No, Austin, I don't," I admitted as I pulled my robe closed again and sat up. "You confuse me."
He dragged his hands down his face. "Tell me what's on your mind."
I sighed. "You're everything my parents warned me against. You're secretive, but you're also honest. I feel wholly protected by you, but then you scare me more than anyone I've ever known. You're a bad boy, but when I dated a so-called good one, he turned out to be the devil, so, yeah, I don't get you because you're not what I expected.

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.

In despair, Sable left, reclaimed her true identity, and married her childhood neighbor—Lycan King Caelan, nine years her senior and her fated mate. Now Darrell desperately tries to win her back. How will her revenge unfold?

Crossing Lines
Noah
I was here to prove myself—
One last shot at football, at freedom, at a future no one ever thought I’d deserve.
And then I met him.
Coach Aiden Mercer.
Cold. Demanding. Built like a legend and twice as ruthless.
From the first command, I wanted to fight him.
From the first Sir, I wanted to kneel.
But this wasn’t just about the game anymore.
He looked at me like he saw through every mask I wore…
And spoke to me in a voice I knew far too well.
The same one that called me baby boy in the darkest corners of the internet.
Now I didn’t know if I wanted to win…
Or just be his.
Aiden
Noah Blake was supposed to be a challenge.
A cocky, reckless quarterback with raw talent and no discipline.
But one message had changed everything.
One night on ObeyNet, a stranger with attitude and submission tangled in his words.
And when I saw Noah in person—his fire, his fear, that ache to be seen—
I knew it was him.
He didn’t know who I was. Not yet.
But I was already testing him. Pushing him.
Breaking him down until he begged for what he swore he didn’t need.
This was not supposed to get personal, but every second he disobeyed made me want to claim him harder.
And if he crossed the line…
I’d make damn sure he never forgot who he belonged to.
