Carmessi Gala

“Não serei definida como uma ‘desviante sem lobo’ Não serei um peão nos ‘jogos que os Alfas jogam’ E me recuso a ser emparelhada com o estranho que irrompeu em minha vida e virou tudo de cabeça para baixo... Só que esse talvez seja o meu maior desafio até agora.” Essas foram as palavras que Lyla repetiu para si mesma enquanto deixava a gala anual de lobisomens, encharcada de seu suor e seus feromônios. Há apenas alguns dias, ela era uma adolescente feliz existindo no mundo humano – tentando passar pela faculdade e ir para longe, esquecer tudo o que vivenciou e começar a vida de novo, mas agora, ela está no meio da gala, estendida no chão com seus desejos expostos na cara de todos e o Alfa Ramsey Kincaid – o líder Lycan do Trono da Lua Branca estendendo as mãos em sua direção. Se ela aceitar, trará desonra para sua família porque ela não está em condições de se misturar com ninguém, quanto mais com o líder Lycan que estava fora de sua liga e se ela recusar, ela corre o risco de ser enviada à prisão da alcateia por não cuidar melhor de si mesma durante seu cio – sim, era um crime para ela estar sem um lobo. Mas quando ele a toca, algo dentro dela se agita... Desejos? Sim! Poderes ocultos pela deusa Lua? Sim! E talvez, apenas talvez, os sinais de seu lobo desaparecido cuja voz pode acalmar lobos ferozes e curar... Ela conseguirá confiar neste homem cuja boca diz uma coisa e suas mãos falam outra língua ou ela se tornará um peão – uma peça de xadrez nos jogos ‘que os Alfas jogam’? Uma coisa é certa: Lyla Woodlands estava farta de ser a pequena e suja ‘desviante sem lobo’ da alcateia. É hora desta maravilha sem lobo mostrar do que ela é feita. #Queima lenta #Antigas profecias esvoaçantes # Triângulo Amoroso - ML e melhor amigo da FL #Vilão apaixonado pela FL Participe do meu grupo no discord: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

``` —No voy a ser definida como una desviada sin lobo. —No seré un peón en los juegos que juegan los Alfas. —Y me niego a ser emparejada con el extraño que irrumpió en mi vida y puso todo patas arriba... —Solo que esa podría ser mi mayor desafío hasta ahora. Esas eran las palabras que Lyla se repetía a sí misma al salir de la gala anual de hombres lobo, empapada en su sudor y sus feromonas. Hace apenas unos días, era una adolescente feliz existiendo en el mundo humano —tratando de pasar la universidad e irse lejos, olvidar todo lo que había pasado y comenzar la vida de nuevo— pero ahora, está en medio de la gala, tendida en el suelo con sus deseos a la vista de todos y el Alfa Ramsey Kincaid —el líder Licano del Trono de la Luna Blanca— extendiendo sus manos hacia ella. Si lo acepta, deshonraría a su familia porque no está en condiciones de mezclarse con nadie, qué decir del líder Licano que estaba fuera de su alcance y si se niega, corre el riesgo de ser enviada a la prisión de la manada por no cuidarse mejor durante su celo —sí, era un crimen para ella estar sin un lobo. Pero cuando él la toca, algo dentro de ella se remueve... ¿Deseos? ¡Sí! ¿Poderes ocultos por la diosa de la Luna? ¡Sí! Y quizás, solo quizás, los movimientos de su lobo perdido cuya voz puede calmar a los lobos feroces y curar... ¿Puede aprender a confiar en este hombre cuya boca dice una cosa y sus manos hablan otro idioma o se convertirá en un peón —una pieza de ajedrez en los juegos que juegan los Alfas? Una cosa es segura: Lyla Woodland había terminado de ser la pequeña y sucia desviada sin lobo de la manada. Es hora de que esta maravilla sin lobo les muestre de qué está hecha. #Amor lento #Profecías antiguas y etéreas #Triángulo amoroso —ML y mejor amiga de FL #Villano enamorado de FL Únete a mi grupo de discord: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4 ```

« Je ne serai pas définie comme une 'déviante sans loup' » Je ne serai pas un pion dans les 'jeux des Alphas' Et je refuse d'être unie au parfait inconnu qui a déboulé dans ma vie et a tout bouleversé... Cela pourrait pourtant être mon plus grand défi. » C'étaient les mots que Lyla se murmurait à elle-même alors qu'elle quittait le gala annuel des loups-garous, trempée de sa sueur et de ses phéromones. Il y a seulement quelques jours, elle était une adolescente heureuse existant dans le monde humain – essayant de terminer l'université et de partir loin, d'oublier tout ce qu'elle avait vécu et de recommencer une nouvelle vie, mais maintenant, elle est au milieu du gala, étalée sur le sol avec ses désirs étalés au visage de tous et Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – le leader Lycan du Trône de la Lune Blanche tendant ses mains vers elle. Si elle les prend, elle apportera du déshonneur à sa famille car elle n'est pas en état de fréquenter quiconque, encore moins le leader Lycan qui est hors de sa portée et si elle refuse, elle risque d'être envoyée à la prison de la meute pour ne pas avoir mieux pris soin d'elle-même pendant ses chaleurs - Oui, c'était un crime pour elle d'être sans loup. Mais lorsqu'il la touche, quelque chose en elle s'éveille... Des désirs ? Oui ! Des pouvoirs cachés par la déesse de la lune ? Oui ! Et peut-être, juste peut-être, l'éveil de son loup manquant dont la voix peut apaiser les loups féroces et guérir... Peut-elle apprendre à faire confiance à cet homme dont la bouche dit une chose et les mains en disent une autre, ou va-t-elle devenir un pion - une pièce d'échecs dans les jeux 'des Alphas' ? Une chose est sûre - Lyla Woodlands en a fini d'être la 'déviante sans loup' sale et petite de la meute. Il est temps que cette merveille sans loup leur montre de quoi elle est faite. # Brisement lent # Vieilles prophéties floues # Triangle amoureux - ML et meilleure amie de la FL #Vilain amoureux de la FL Rejoignez mon groupe discord : https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

"Ich will nicht als 'wolfsloser Abweichler' definiert werden Ich werde kein Spielball in den 'Spielen der Alphas' sein Und ich weigere mich, mich mit dem Fremden zu paaren, der in mein Leben gestürzt ist und alles auf den Kopf gestellt hat... Aber das könnte meine bisher größte Herausforderung sein." Das waren die Worte, die Lyla zu sich selbst sagte, als sie die jährliche Werwolf-Gala verließ, durchnässt von ihrem Schweiß und ihren Pheromonen. Noch vor ein paar Tagen war sie ein glücklicher Teenager, der in der menschlichen Welt lebte - sie wollte das College abschließen und weit weggehen, alles vergessen, was sie durchgemacht hatte, und ein neues Leben beginnen, aber jetzt ist sie mitten auf der Gala, auf dem Boden ausgestreckt, mit ihren Wünschen vor aller Augen, und Alpha Ramsey Kincaid - der Anführer der Lykaner auf dem Weißen Mondthron - streckt seine Hände nach ihr aus. Wenn sie sie annimmt, würde sie Schande über ihre Familie bringen, denn sie ist nicht in der Lage, sich mit irgendjemandem einzulassen, noch dazu mit einem Lykaner-Anführer, der nicht in ihrer Liga spielt, und wenn sie sich weigert, riskiert sie, ins Gefängnis des Rudels geschickt zu werden, weil sie während ihrer Läufigkeit nicht besser auf sich aufgepasst hat - ja, es war ein Verbrechen, dass sie ohne Wolf war. Doch als er sie berührt, regt sich etwas in ihr... Begierde? Ja! Von der Mondgöttin verborgene Mächte? Ja! Und vielleicht, nur vielleicht, die Regungen ihres vermissten Wolfes, dessen Stimme wilde Wölfe beruhigen und heilen kann ... Kann sie lernen, diesem Mann zu vertrauen, dessen Mund etwas anderes sagt und dessen Hände eine andere Sprache sprechen, oder würde sie zu einem Bauern werden - einer Schachfigur in den Spielen, die die Alphas spielen? Eines ist sicher - Lyla Woodlands hatte es satt, die kleine, schmutzige "wolfslose Abweichlerin" des Rudels zu sein. Es ist an der Zeit, dass dieses wolflose Wunder ihnen zeigt, was in ihr steckt. #Langsam brennen ~ Schlaue alte Prophezeiungen # Love Triangle - ML und FL beste Freundin #Bösewicht verliebt in FL Tritt meiner Discord-Gruppe bei: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

“I will not be defined as a ‘wolfless deviant’ I will not be a pawn in the 'games Alphas play' And I refuse to be mated to the stranger who crashed into my life and turned everything upside down… Only that might be my biggest challenge yet.” Those were the words Lyla chanted to herself as she left the annual werewolf gala, drenched in her sweat and her pheromones. Only days ago, she was a happy teenager existing in the human world – trying to get through college and go far away, forget everything she’s been through and start life afresh but now, she’s in the middle of the gala, sprawled on the ground with her desires in everyone’s face and Alpha Ramsey Kincaid – the Lycan leader of the White Moon Throne extending his hands towards her. If she takes it, she would bring dishonour to her family because she is in no state to be mingling with anyone, talk more of the Lycan leader who was out of her league and if she refuses, she risks being sent to the pack prison for not taking better care of herself during her heat - Yes, it was a crime for her to be without a wolf. But when he touches her, something inside her stirs… Desires? Yes! Powers hidden by the moon goddess? Yes! And maybe just maybe, the stirrings of her missing wolf whose voice can calm feral wolves and heal … Can she learn to trust this man whose mouth says a different thing and his hands speak another language or would she become a pawn – a piece of chess in the games ‘Alphas play’? One thing’s for certain- Lyla Woodlands was done being the pack’s little, dirty ‘wolfless deviant’. It’s time this wolfless wonder showed them what she’s made of. #Slow burn #Wispy old prophecies # Love Triangle - ML and FL best friend #Villian in love with FL Join my discord group: https://discord.gg/t2w9NgC4

“Is Mr. Angelis there?” a hurried voice asked. The man introduced himself as Dereck. “No, Matt isn’t home. He’s in Brisbane until tomorrow,” Colette replied, her tone flat and resigned. She was ready to end the call and retreat back to the comfort of her bed when Dereck’s response froze her in place. He laughed. “Oh, is that what he told you?” A cold drop of fear slithered down her spine. “What is that supposed to mean?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper, a mixture of fear and anger lacing her words. There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Colette could almost hear the gears turning in Dereck’s mind as he realized his slip. “What?” She stammered, before abruptly cutting the call. Matheo would attend the gala with Iris, and they would be the perfect couple, the power duo that everyone admired. Meanwhile, Colette would be here, in this cold, empty house, a prisoner of her own despair. The realization was suffocating, the betrayal too deep to bear. Her heart ached with a pain so intense it felt physical, a crushing weight that left her gasping for breath. She sat down on the edge of the bed, her body trembling with a mixture of rage and sorrow. Tears streamed down her face, but she made no move to wipe them away. What was the point? The man she had loved with all her heart, the man she had trusted implicitly, had chosen another over her. He had lied to her, betrayed her, and now he was flaunting that betrayal in the most public way possible. But this was new! Now, he had started lying to her. So, that he could attend the gala with Iris without his "stupid, unreasonable" wife demanding to be taken to a public place with him? He wouldn’t want that burden on him now, would he? No, Iris would look much better in his arms, cool and sophisticated, with her intellectual talks to charm his potential investors. She knew the ins and outs of his business and it wouldn’t be the first time he had taken her to such events. The thought made Colette’s stomach churn. But tonight, something snapped inside her. The dead flower of her heart, long withered from neglect and betrayal, turned to a crisp. She had been humiliated, shamed, hidden away in secret, and lied to. Matheo had been afraid she would embarrass him? Now she would show him what true embarrassment felt like. Maybe her marriage was over. Maybe her husband had only ever wanted her for one thing: sex. If that was the case, then tonight, she would be the epitome of sex. She would get ready to seduce him in public, and the whole world would see the actual of their marriage before she left him forever. If he wanted her as the whore, he will get the whore.

My Billionaire Ex-Lover Wants Me Back, But I’m Hiding His Baby Synopsis For two years, Olivia Reed lived in the shadows as billionaire Ethan Blackwood’s secret lover. Their relationship was intoxicating yet forbidden, a web of passion hidden from the world. She never asked for more than the stolen moments they shared—until the whispers of his first love’s return reached her ears. “He’s proposing to her, isn’t he?” The thought was a dagger to Olivia’s chest. As Ethan planned a grand surprise during one of his business trips, Olivia made a decision of her own. She packed her bags, sold every trace of his wealth, and vanished without a word.

Alone and heartbroken, she vowed to build a life for herself and her child far from Ethan’s shadow. Three years later, Olivia is a new woman.

While attending a charity gala for work, Olivia feels the air shift around her. A familiar voice cuts through the crowd, deep and commanding. Her heart races as she turns to see the man she ran from, his piercing gaze fixed on her. “Olivia,” Ethan’s voice was low, dangerously calm. “You’re a hard woman to find.” Ethan Blackwood isn’t supposed to be here. And he certainly isn’t supposed to know where she is. Why is he here? How did he find her? And more importantly, what will he do when he discovers the secret she’s been keeping? In a world where love, betrayal, and revenge collide, Olivia and Ethan’s story is far from over. But this time, the stakes are higher. What will happen when the billionaire learns he has a child—and what will Olivia do when faced with the man she once loved but can no longer trust?
