Tragic Love Short Stories & Alpha System Novels

Three months into the silent treatment from my Alpha mate, Samson Holt, he holds a grand ceremony befitting of a Luna for the return of his beloved Leia Harton. Because of this, I—the real Luna—am now the laughing stock of the entire pack. "Sharon's just an orphan wolf with no real lineage. How could someone like her be our Luna?" "Exactly! Leia's the one who truly deserves to stand beside the Alpha." Ignoring them, I take up a silver blade and slash it hard across my throat. They never knew that I wasn't truly one of them. I wasn't a wolf at all, but a human from another world. And the Moon Goddess just told me that if I die in this world, I can finally go home and reunite with my family.

After three years of banishment from my pack, I finally learned to submit. On the day I returned, my fated mate, Alpha Kane, cornered me by the cliff with a cold warning. "If you ever lay a claw on Isla again, I will—" Before he could finish, I slammed my hand against a jagged rock. Once. Twice. Until the crunch of shattered bones echoed in the air. He stared at my limp, mangled hand. It wasn't healing instantly like it should. For the first time, his unwavering Alpha composure cracked. Back on the top floor of the Pack House, the Omega my parents adopted taunted me on the balcony. "So what if you have the former Alpha's bloodline? I am the future Luna!" With a vicious smirk, she dug her nails into her own arm, drawing blood. Then, she screamed. "Aurora! If you hate me that much, I'll leave! Please, just don't hurt my baby!" My mate and my brother rushed in just in time to see this. Instantly, they unleashed their terrifying Alpha and Beta auras, pinning me down. The suffocating pressure almost crushed my wolf. "You're beyond saving!" Kane snarled. "If anything happens to Isla or her pup, I'll wipe you off the face of the earth!" I nodded submissively. I turned around, walked straight down to the pack's dungeon. Without a second thought, I threw myself into the interrogation vat—a pool of highly concentrated liquid silver. Splashing silver burned my parents' skin as they burst through the door. My mother let out a horrific scream and fainted on the spot. My father fought through the searing agony, plunging his hands into the vat to drag me out. Meanwhile, my always cold and powerful Alpha mate froze. He stood there, shaking uncontrollably, unable to utter a single word. Agony tore through every nerve from the silver burns, but I smiled. Three years ago, after failing to win their approval, I was banished. The System had told me: Show absolute submission until death, and it will reward you with billions of dollars and send you back to your real world.

I was brought to a werewolf word by the System, and my mission was to make Alpha Ryan fall in love with me. When I finished my mission, I gave up a ten-billion-dollar reward and my only chance to go back to my own world and see my family again. I chose to stay in Northridge pack. In three years, I went from an outsider the System had dropped into an unfamiliar pack to the publicly acknowledged mate of Alpha Ryan Walker. We even had a daughter, Nora. The night of the autumn full moon was the most important family night of the year in Northridge. But Ryan said some pack business had come up, and he had to stay late at Walker Security. I didn't think much of it. I filled a basket with the roast he liked, pumpkin pie and the moon-shaped cookies Nora had cut out herself, then went to spend the evening with him. The elevator had just reached the top floor when I heard Claire Morgan's voice coming from the emergency stairwell. She was the pack's Beta and had grown up with Ryan. Everyone knew they'd been partners in the past. "Have you ever regretted mating with her?" Silence stretched for a few seconds. "I regret settling down so early. "I used to go out into the wild whenever I wanted. I could run all night under a full moon, drive hundreds of miles on a whim, and nobody asked questions. And..." He paused, then lowered his voice, "I could fool around however I wanted without worrying about waking the kid in the middle of the night." Claire laughed. "If you ever want to come back, I'm still here. Now I can join you in everything you used to love doing." Through the half-open door, I saw Claire rise onto her tiptoes and catch Ryan's lip between her teeth. Ryan froze for a second. But he didn't push her away. At that moment, the System, silent for three years, spoke in my head again. [Strong desire to leave detected.] [Do you wish to pay the required price, reverse your decision from three years ago to remain permanently in the mission world, and submit a request to return?
