Introduction
Iba-iba ang anyo at laki nila. Maaari silang maging maganda o masakit at lahat ng nasa pagitan.
Minsan, si Sawyer at ako ay matalik na magkaibigan, hanggang sa sinundan niya ang kanyang pangarap at iniwan ang kanyang lumang buhay. Kasama na ako doon. Kumapit ako sa pag-asa na hindi kami hihiwalay ng buhay, pero tulad ng karamihan sa unang pag-ibig, nangyari ito at naging estranghero siya sa akin. Nang sa wakas ay nagkaroon ako ng lakas ng loob na pakawalan siya at simulan ang aking bagong buhay, bigla siyang nagpakita muli.
Ang buhay niya ay nakabitin sa isang hibla at ito na ang huling pagkakataon niya para makuha ang matagal na niyang pinaghihirapan. Ngayon, iniisip niyang kasama ako doon. Handa na siyang ayusin ang nawala sa amin, pero hindi ako interesado sa pagbibigay ng pangalawang pagkakataon. Sa kasamaang-palad, hindi ako magaling sa pagtanggi sa kanya, at kahit na pagkatapos ng aming pagkakahiwalay, parang walang nagbago.
Well, hindi iyon totoo. Maraming magbabago. Higit pa sa aming inaasahan, pero nagsimula ang lahat noong una kong natagpuan ang pag-ibig.
Ngayon, oras na para tuklasin ang lahat ng darating pagkatapos.

Chapter 1
Ang pag-iimpake para sa kolehiyo ay mas emosyonal kaysa sa inaasahan ko. Tatlong buwan na ang nakalipas mula nang bumalik ako mula sa Ecuador, at hindi ko naramdaman ang ganitong kalungkutan kahit na isang taon akong nanirahan doon. Paano nangyari iyon?
“Bryn!” narinig kong tawag ng pamilyar na boses mula sa ibaba kasunod ng iyak ng isang sanggol. “Naku! Okay lang Milly, alam kong nandyan lang si Tita B.”
Lumabas ako ng kwarto at tumigil sa tuktok ng hagdanan just nang magsimulang umakyat ang aking kapatid. “Salamat sa Diyos! Pwede mo bang kausapin ang pamangkin mo? Buong umaga na siyang nagwawala.”
Iniabot niya sa akin ang sanggol at tinanggap ko ang cute na bundle. “Hello cutie! Pinapahirapan mo ba ang nanay mo?”
Ngumiti ang pamangkin ko at hinila ang kulot kong buhok. Sanay na ako rito kaya halos hindi ko napansin, pero nang subukan niyang isubo ang buhok ko, kinailangan kong pumigil. Bumalik ako sa kwarto ko na puno ng mga kahon. Pinilit ng mga magulang ko na iwan ko ang kwarto ko tulad ng dati, pero gusto kong bigyan sila ng opsyon na gamitin ito bilang guest room habang nasa kolehiyo ako sa mga susunod na taon. Babalik ako tuwing bakasyon pero mananatili ako kina Poppy at Zac sa mga pagkakataong iyon. Hindi ko pa rin maisip na binili nila ang bahay dahil doon lumaki si Zac, pero hindi nila kayang ibenta ito nang lumipat ang nanay niya sa bago niyang asawa. Kaya binili ni Zac ang bahay at nag-propose kay Poppy sa pintuan kung saan sila madalas umupo noong bata pa sila isang taon pagkatapos.
Maraming kasaysayan sa lugar na iyon, kaya tahimik akong natutuwa na hindi ito napunta sa ibang pamilya.
Pumasok si Poppy sa kwarto ko at humiga sa kama ko na hindi alintana ang tambak ng damit sa ilalim niya. “Ayaw sa akin ng anak ko.” Reklamo niya bago bumuntong-hininga.
“Hindi totoo 'yan Poppy! Baka nagngingipin lang siya o ganun.” Sabi ko habang kinakausap ang pamangkin ko at napatawa siya nang cute.
“Oo nga, pero bakit tumitigil siya sa pag-iyak pag ikaw ang humawak sa kanya? Paano ka niya mas mahal kahit na nasa ibang bansa ka sa unang tatlong buwan ng buhay niya? Naiinis ako sa'yo. Bakit mo ako iniwan sa ganitong panahon?” Ang drama talaga ng kapatid ko.
“Kakayanin mo yan, at pwede naman akong bumalik kung talagang kailangan. Alam mong hindi kita pababayaan.”
Bumuntong-hininga siya at umupo. “Hindi. Karapat-dapat kang magkaroon ng buhay. Kaso…mamimiss kita.”
“Mamimiss din kita sis.” Yumakap ako sa kanya at mabilis siyang gumanti ng yakap.
Palagi kaming malapit sa isa't isa, at masakit tuwing kailangan kong umalis, pero ipinagpaliban ko na ang kolehiyo para makapag-volunteer bilang nurse assistant sa Ecuador. Kailangan ko ng karanasan para sa field study credits ko at gusto kong magawa ito ng maaga. Bukod pa rito, hindi pa ako handang narito nang mangyari ang lahat. Napansin siguro ni Polly ang ekspresyon sa mukha ko kaya hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at pinisil ito ng malumanay.
“Wala ka bang narinig mula sa kanya?” Tanong niya.
Napatawa ako sa ideya. “Wala. Bakit naman? Nag-move on na siya, kaya kailangan ko ring gawin iyon. Palagi kaming bahagi ng buhay ng isa't isa dahil sa'yo at kay Zac pero hindi na tulad ng dati.”
“Marami siyang pinagdaanan B, baka kailangan niya ng mas maraming oras.” Depensa niya.
“Marami na siyang oras. Limang taon na ang lumipas at wala pa rin siyang tawag o text. Akala ko pagkatapos ng injury niya, tatawagan niya ako at hihilingin na alagaan ko siya tulad ng plano namin, pero wala. Hindi ko kayang manatili.”
“Alam ko. Sabi ni Zac, hindi maganda ang nangyayari. Hindi siya sigurado kung mapipirmahan pa si Sawyer sa ganitong kalagayan.” Umiling siya at bumuntong-hininga ng may pagkadismaya. “Hindi ko maisip na bibitawan niya ang lahat ng ginawa niya para makarating dito.”
Ang kuya ni Zac na si Sawyer ay dati kong matalik na kaibigan. Nang lumipat ang kanilang pamilya pagkatapos umalis ng tatay nila, nakita ko si Sawyer at alam kong magiging magkaibigan kami. Siya ay isang masungit na batang punong-puno ng galit, at ako naman ang sinag ng araw na magpapasaya sa kanya. Hindi naman siya masisisi na magalit sa mundo matapos umalis ang tatay niya, pitong taong gulang pa lang siya noon. Isang taon lang ang tanda niya sa akin.
Noong araw na lumipat sila, naglakad ako papunta sa kanila dala ang isang plato ng vegan cupcakes at sinabi sa kanya na magkaibigan na kami. Sinara ng loko ang pinto sa mukha ko. Kaya't naglakad kami ni Poppy papunta sa kanila para pagalitan siya, pero si Zac ang nagbukas ng pinto. Pagkakita pa lang nila sa isa't isa, parang aso't pusa na sila, at mula noon, hindi na sila mapaghiwalay. Alam ng lahat na si Poppy ay para kay Zac kahit noong siyam na taong gulang pa lang sila. Si Sawyer naman, ayaw makipag-usap kahit kanino.
Kaya ano ang ginawa ko? Hindi ako sumuko. Araw-araw sa tanghalian, nagdadala ako ng maliit na treat at umuupo sa mesa niya at kinakausap siya kahit naiinis na siya sa akin. Binigyan niya ako ng ilang masungit na tingin pero hindi naman siya umaalis. Unti-unti siyang lumambot sa akin, at doon nagsimula ang aming pagkakaibigan. Naging matalik kaming magkaibigan at halos kami lang ang magkaibigan sa loob ng maraming taon. Hanggang sa pumasok siya sa unang taon ng high school at ako naman ay natira sa middle school.
Magaling siyang mag-skate at dahil malamig dito, gumagawa kami ng sarili naming rink sa likod-bahay para mag-skate kami ng sabay-sabay. Ang galing ni Sawyer at agad siyang nahilig sa hockey, kaya nang dumating ang tryouts sa kanyang freshman year, pumasok siya at naging player.
Sa simula, wala namang masyadong nagbago maliban sa hindi na kami magkasama sa tanghalian. Umuuwi siyang may mga pasa at frustrated dahil perfectionist siya at hindi siya nasisiyahan sa laro o practice. Nauupo ako sa tabi ng kama niya at binabalot ang mga sugat niya habang naglalabas siya ng sama ng loob. Pagbalot ng sugat niya ay palagi kong trabaho at dahil dito, nagustuhan kong mag-aral ng athletic medicine at physical therapy. Plano namin na makuha si Sawyer sa draft at ako naman ay mag-aapply sa parehong team.
Pero unti-unting naglaho ang plano namin habang nagiging abala siya. Dumating na ang panahon na dinadala niya ang mga kasama sa team sa bahay nila para mag-party kapag wala ang nanay niya. Ayaw ng mga kasama niya na nandun ako kaya naghihintay ako hanggang umalis sila bago ako makipag-hangout kay Sawyer. Pagkatapos, nagsimula siyang maghanap ng dahilan para hindi kami magkita, at tuluyan na niya akong iniwasan. Sa eskwelahan, hindi niya ako pinapansin at pumupunta lang sa bahay namin para magpabalot ng sugat dahil sabi niya ako daw ang pinakamahusay.
Sa aking kawalang-malay, tinanggap ko ang mga mumo na binibigay niya, pero miserable ako. Kaya nang ma-scout si Sawyer sa isang magaling na kolehiyo, hindi ko na siya pinansin. Tiningnan ko siya mula sa bintana habang sumasakay siya sa kotse at umaasang titingin siya pabalik, pero hindi niya ginawa. Alam ko noon na nawala na ang kaibigan ko. Kaya nagdesisyon akong mag-move on at simulan ang sarili kong pangarap. Gusto ko pa rin mag-aral ng athletic medicine, pero gagawin ko ito dahil mahal ko ito at hindi dahil gusto kong maging pathetic na kasama ni Sawyer magpakailanman.
Nang inalok ako ng pagkakataon para mag-internship, kinuha ko ito at hindi na lumingon pabalik. Mga anim na buwan sa aking internship sa Ecuador, nakatanggap ako ng tawag mula kay Poppy na umiiyak. Sinabi niya na nasaktan si Sawyer, at hindi maganda ang kalagayan. Dapat sana maaga siyang madraft pero bigla siyang nasaktan at na-benched. Nawawala na ang lahat ng pangarap niya at nasa libu-libong milya ako ang layo.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin pero hindi ko siya kayang pabayaan mag-isa, kaya tinawagan ko siya. Hindi niya sinagot o kinontak ako. Sa huli, kinailangan kong sumuko at itigil ang pag-aalala sa taong ayaw naman akong kasama sa buhay niya. Ngayon, nag-move on na ako sa susunod na bahagi ng aking paglalakbay at sinusubukan kong huwag isipin ang hockey player na dating tinawag kong kaibigan.

"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."

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.
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.

He's a biker.
An Alpha.
And when he looked at me, I knew there was no where else to run to.
