Chapter 1INTRO: THE RED SWAN (ENGLISH)

The whole story in this novel has absolutely nothing to do with the music/song. The whole story is fiction. If there are similarities in the naming, we did not intend to.

And the author herself has not been able to write in good English. If there are any criticisms/suggestions about writing/grammars/punctuation, please contact the author. The author welcomes suggestions and constructive criticism.

There are still some terms in foreign languages that may not be understood, such as en pointé (which is tiptoe to toe while performing ballet movements), or pas de deux (is a dance duet in which two dancers, usually a boy and a girl, performing ballet moves together), or also pointé shoes (are the type of shoes worn by ballet dancers when performing the en pointé dance).

For other ballet dance terms such as fifth position or first position, the author invites readers to search for the term in the search engine.

The author also invites readers to fantasize widely, including all the ballet dance movements in this story, please fantasize and imagine as freely as possible how the movements are performed.

Readers are also advised to watch ballet dance videos before reading this novel, The Red Swan, to make the fantasy more beautiful.

Stories in ballet such as The Swan Lake (The Swan Queen), Giselle, Cinderella, or stories in other famous ballet dances, readers can search for them in search engines, because these stories will not be discussed too much in this novel.

Thank you, happy fantasizing!

[TRIGGER WARNING: Mature Content + Dark Themes] EXCERPT: “Axel, no. We… can’t do this!” I jolted back when he pulled up my skirt. As if to retaliate, he grabbed my wrist and yanked my body to his. “We can do whatever I say we can do, María José.” “I’m your brother’s reject. Do you even hear yourself right now? He didn’t want me, Axel. What does that make me to you?” “I don’t care about Álvaro’s foolishness. It's his loss for losing a woman like you.” “Okay, I must confess. I'm not worried about him either. It's Rosa… you're getting engaged to my sister in a month!” “Let me remind you, María José—I don’t give a fuck about that, either.” No matter how hard I jerked, he wasn’t letting me go. And part of me—so, so foolishly—didn’t want him to. ______ Having spent her life avoiding the spotlight, María Jośe never imagined she’d be the one to bring shame to her esteemed De la Vega family. With beauty as captivating as a field of lilies, she is the prized daughter of an ambitious father who cares more for his reputation than his children’s happiness. When Álvaro Montenegro, the arrogant heir to the Alpha title, sets his sights on her as his chosen Luna, María Jośe is desperate for a way out.

But when Álvaro discovers Axel’s interest in María Jośe, jealousy ignites within him and he suddenly wants María Jośe as his own. Love, vengeance, and betrayal all brewed into a whirlwind of drama, desires, and deadly comebacks. Will María Jośe rise from the ashes of her former life, or will she be consumed by the power struggles of the pack she despises? Will she give in to the oldest brother who is scared of commitment or the younger one who fiercely seeks redemption?
