LOGINAfter four years with Killian, I got pregnant. I took the pregnancy test and my ID to a private hospital to set up a file, but when entering insurance information, I was stopped by the blonde administrative specialist. "Mrs. Smith, the system shows there is a problem with your marital status." She looked at me awkwardly. "Your marriage to Mr. Killian is not legally effective." I was stunned and instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. We registered in Las Vegas, all the procedures were..." "There is only an application record, no final signed effective document." The specialist turned the screen around and tapped the keyboard a few times. "Moreover, Mr. Killian's legal wife... shows another lady's name." That name was like a thorn, piercing fiercely into my retina. Elena. Killian's personal secretary, and also publicly recognized as the benefactor who saved his life in the Alps avalanche five years ago. I felt all the blood in my body flowing backward. How could it be her?

" Anya...you are going to get us killed! "
I still had a bad feeling about this secret visit to the concert. Our father, Maxim Levitsky was always strict about our visits to certain places. As the princesses of the Russian Bravta Silver Pack, the risks of getting attacked were higher than normal. Yet, my elder sister Anya had always been this daring, one step away to break the rules. It wasn't like we didn't respect our father. Because she thought that it was fun to sneak away at late nights in these disguised clothes.
Anya gave me her cocky smile, her hazel eyes lit up in excitement before saying,
" Ashina!! For fuck sake, stop being so nervous. You know how much I love this singer. In no way, I want to miss his concert."
I sucked a deep breath, reminding her again,
" But the place...falls under the New York Mafias. You know that we aren't allowed to step into their places.."
The enmity between the Russian Bravta and New York City Wolves were no longer a hidden secret. Our father, being the Don of Russian Bravta Wolves was their biggest opposition because they couldn't slack off their business from us like before.
Anya snorted, whipping her hair to one side,
" So what?? No one knows us there. How will they know that we are from Russian Bravta?"
It was also the truth since it was Impossible to recognize someone from the outsiders. Blessing my fate from the moon Goddess, I gave up resisting, following Anya into the dense woods. After going a few steps, we two heard a wailing with our father's powerful voice, echoing in the interrogation yard.
Anya stopped at her track with a frown, and looked at my face blankly. I was scared out of my wits. The interrogation yard was made up to kill the criminals. It had been a long time since no one had gone to that yard or anything like that crime happened.
Anya decided to take a look, moved closer to the yard so that we both could see what was happening. When we looked into the yard, our jaw dropped nearly, finding our Beta, Anzo on the ground.
His eyes were lowered down in front of our father, crying as if he had committed some terrible crimes. Our father asked, looking down at Anzo murderously,
" You admit that you have a mate who is part of Red Moon Wolves??"
We both gasped in horror, sharing a meaningful glance. Red Moon Wolves were the part of New York City Mafias. They were extremely fierce and were our monarch enemies. So far, our pack has never found any mate from their lands. Whoever had their mates, they were either executed or their wolf was killed by our father. Because he always believed that loyalty was far above than love or mate bond.
Anzo admitted, his forehead breaking into cold sweat,
" Alpha Don, I deserve to be dead. Just kill me.."
Anzo's suffering brought tears to my eyes. In order to save his family, he was admitted in front of our father and was ready for the punishment. Our father spat a line coldly, slamming his hand on his thigh,
" Such a shame!!"
The following moment, he got up from his position slowly, and walked in front of Anzo. Under our watchful eyes, he ripped Anzo's head off his neck with a swift pull. I almost let out screaming, tears rolling down from my eyes. He sneered at Anzo's headless body, dropping the head like an object,
" You don't deserve to be our Beta. Loyalty is more important than your mate."
________
Anya and I parted ways after entering the concert venue. First of all, I wanted to get rid of this uncomfortable dress. Juggling in my mind about what happened to Anzo, I walked aimlessly around the corner until I stopped to realize that this wasn't the way that Anya showed me earlier.
Shit !!!!!!
I muttered under my breath and was going to retract when some conversation passed into my ears,
" You told my father that you are pregnant with my child? Tell me, when did you actually conceive, Liana?"
" I...it. it was from that one night stand...Alpha Don..I..I am not lying.."
Curiousity sparked into my heart as I turned around to peer into the room which was left open slightly.
Oh I wished that I didn't take a look inside!
I saw a tattooed guy on the wooden desk, sitting with his one leg, crunched over the space. He was stained in blood all over, lazily wrapping the wound of his left hand. Those lengthy tattooes all over his body had made it difficult to see through his skin. But it was obvious that he had eight pack abs, judging by those firm and taut muscles. That pitch dark curly hairs were damped in sweat as if he had just returned from a battlefield. Something about this guy didn't feel right to me. He felt surprisingly familiar as if it wasn't time to meet him.
My eyes went down to the woman who was on her knees. He must have fucked her and now was refusing to take any responsibilities. Guys like him made me disgusted to the point of not finding my mate in my entire life.
Maybe,I was too distracted to notice anything wrong. The girl tried to speak again when the guy shouted at the door furiously,
" Who the fuck is hiding there?"
I jumped off in my thoughts and pushed my head up to look at his face clearly. At that exact moment, all my breathing had faded away to meet the familiar pair of dark red eyes.
TORVAR KESSLER!!!
Our biggest enemy........
I recognized him from his significant eyes. Guys around our pack always talked about his exceptional eyes. Some even said that his eyes turned red because he shed too much blood from people's body. My first instinct was 'Run'. I sprinted away from the door, trying my best to vanish immediately.
Heavy footsteps caught up with me soon and I was yanked backwards to hear his roar,
" Where do you think that you are going, little spy?"
I gasped in shock and horror. How the hell I looked like a spy?
Fuck! The last thing that I wanted to avoid was being caught by Torvar Kessler in his territory!!
I stuttered, crying my heart out to find Anya soon,
" I..I was lost..I went..to the wrong room.."
He sneered at me, jerking my hands together harshly,
" You think that I will believe you??? Fool woman! Who are you? Who sent you here? You don't even smell like my pack member?"
He was twisting my hand to the point that I let out a painful cry which had no effect on him. I was about to shout for help when his beta showed up in the distance to shot,
" ALPHA DON!! We got the spy!! "
He stared at me surprised for a moment as if to realize his mistake. However,my rage flared up and without thinking, I kicked at his stomach before dashing far away from the spot.
Thankfully..he didn't chase me...

My heart began to race wildly as soon as we entered the concert in case I would encounter that prick Alpha again. Undoubtedly, he would kill me this time. Each member felt unfamiliar to me. If someone was from Russian Bravta, I could have detected the person with the smell. Anya was going crazy beside me, looking up at her favorite singer on the stage who had no idea that he was performing in front of a stadium of werewolves.
Despite my forced calmness, I couldn't avoid being nervous. First, we sneaked out of the pack house and next, we came to join a concert which was in a forbidden territory. All these wolves were from New York or nearby cities except us who came from such a distant land. When I became distracted from the song, Anya's wolf suddenly became impatient, sensing something in the crowd.
As her biological sister, I noticed immediately and asked in worry,
" Anya? What's wrong? Is there any danger nearby? What are you looking for? Don't tell me that someone has found us?"
Anya tried to say something but her voice broke midway, inhaling deeply. Her eyes turned deep brown, representing that her wolf was in charge. Without any words, she began to go backside of the concert stage. I chased her cluelessly,
" Anya..wait..where are you going..Anya.."
Before I could know it, I saw her walking towards a muscular, tattooed body. I heard two deep voices in unison that took my breath away in fear,
" MATE!!!"
We chose a private island in Seychelles for our honeymoon.There were no annoying media here, no endless paperwork—just pure white beaches and the gentle breeze of the Indian Ocean.In the afternoon, Ethan went to the kitchen to prepare a fruit platter for me.I leaned lazily on the sofa and casually turned on the wall-mounted TV.BBC World News was playing.The footage was shaky and grainy, with a background of devastated ruins and the continuous sound of gunfire."This is a war zone in Central Africa. Although government forces have intervened, the medical situation in the refugee camps remains dire..."The reporter's voice sounded a bit distorted against the noisy background.The camera panned over desperate refugees and finally settled on a makeshift field medical tent.A man wearing a bulletproof vest, covered in dust and blood, was kneeling on the ground, fully focused on bandaging a child whose leg had been blown off.His hair was long, his stubble messy, and he was so thin he l
Late at night, after the banquet ended.I thought that "rebellious" declaration would bring down severe punishment on us.But Ethan held my hand, leading me through the long corridor hung with portraits of past patriarchs, to a mahogany door deep in the manor.That was the sitting room of the Rothschild family's true matriarch—Ethan's grandmother."Don't be afraid."Ethan squeezed my cold fingers, his gaze firm."If she doesn't accept you, we'll go back to Bordeaux and never return."The door opened.It wasn't the oppressive inquisition I had imagined.The fire in the fireplace was burning brightly. A silver-haired elderly lady sat in a velvet armchair, flipping through an art book.It was my portfolio.Hearing our footsteps, she slowly raised her head.Those eyes, weathered by time yet still wise and sharp, looked exactly like Ethan's."Grandmother." Ethan bowed slightly, his posture respectful, yet he still guarded me closely.The old lady ignored her grandson, her gaze landing strai
Although our days in Bordeaux were peaceful and idyllic, as the heir to the Rothschild family, Ethan eventually had to face his responsibilities.At the end of the year, Ethan took me back to the centuries-old estate in London for a family banquet.Every blade of grass and every tree there exuded an air of ancient, austere nobility.Looking at the portraits of past patriarchs hanging on the walls and the predatory gazes of the distant relatives eyeing Ethan, that sensitive nerve in my heart was struck once again.My body had suffered irreversible damage in that wine cellar at five degrees below zero, due to the prolonged hypothermia and that traumatic miscarriage.The doctor had said my uterine lining had become dangerously thin. It would be difficult for me to conceive again in this lifetime, and even if I did, there was a high probability of another miscarriage.On the eve of the banquet, I sat at the vanity, looking at myself in the mirror wearing a luxurious gown, yet I felt incred
Three years later.Bordeaux, France.September sunshine poured like golden honey over the rolling vineyards.The air was suffused with the aroma of fermenting grapes and the fragrance of the earth.I was wearing mud-stained overalls and a straw hat, squatting under the grape trellis pruning branches."Easy does it, Halen. Don't hurt the vines."A warm voice sounded from behind.Ethan wrapped his arms around me from behind, his broad palm covering the back of my hand, patiently correcting my movements.For the past three years, we had settled in this ancient winery named "Serendipity."Far away from the noise of New York, and far from the schemes and deceit of wealthy families.We were like an ordinary farm couple.We rose with the sun and rested with the moon.We made wine together, watching the purple juice ferment into mellow nectar in oak barrels.We rode horses through the morning mist in the woods to watch the sunrise from the mountaintop.Ethan's gentlemanliness and respect were

When I woke up, I was in a hospital room filled with the smell of disinfectant.The emptiness in my abdomen told me the result even before I asked the doctor."Mrs. Smith, I'm sorry."The doctor took off his mask, his tone professional and cold."You arrived too late.
