Abandon

What is more unfortunate other than being transported to a world you didn't expect to exist? Zemira Allyson Rivera grew up with a little knowledge of where her father was. The only person that she has was her mother, who inexplicably disappeared when she was seventeen, leaving her all alone in this world. On her way home from the convenience store, Zemira encountered a strange event that led her to the Forbidden forest near the city of Levearûn, an abandoned city in the heart of Hevadale. While finding a way back home, Zemira found out the truth behind the abandoned city. She also met a group of people which she did not expect to treat her as a family.

My husband and I go on a road trip back to my hometown before Christmas. I want to ride shotgun, but he chases me to the backseat so his female colleague can sit in front. He says, "Isabel gets carsick easily. You are my wife, so you should be more considerate of her." He seems to have forgotten that I'm pregnant—my morning sickness is at its peak. Halfway through the journey, he and Isabel Slater start smoking. They make me throw up. The smell disgusts them, and my husband wants to teach me a lesson. He and Isabel leave me at the rest stop. Unbeknownst to them, my family is already waiting there. This time, I'm going back with them and getting an abortion and divorce. Later, my husband is filled with regret when he learns the child is gone.

After risking my life to save my Alpha heir mate Ethan and his father from the devastating rogue attack, I devoted three years to watching over him. I stayed by his side through his physical rehabilitation until he could shift again, selling my handmade healing potions to cover the pack's financial shortfalls. I never left, never gave up, handling everything personally until the Northern Pack finally reclaimed its position at the top. But on the night of the victory celebration, standing beside him was his first love—the woman who had once abandoned him. A reporter held up a microphone and asked, "We heard Miss Victoria left you three years ago to go overseas. Now that she's back, how do you feel about her?" He smiled softly, his gaze tender as he looked at the woman beside him. "She is the most important person in my life." That night, I had a lawyer draft the mate bond severance papers. Since she's the most important, I'll step aside.

My boyfriend was the illegitimate son of Oceanfall Pack’s Alpha, while I was just an ordinary healer working at the pack’s hospital. When his father broke his legs and threw him out, I was the one who stayed and gave him everything I could. However, the day fifteen luxury cars came to take him back, he ignored me completely and left with my coworker instead. When reporters pointed at me and asked him, “Who is this Omega to you?” Jeremy said coldly, “Just my healer. Nothing more.” Later, he rose to power to become the untouchable Alpha. I turned away, crossing borders to Sirius Pack to marry his greatest rival. On the night of my mating ceremony, he sent his men to kidnap me. “Are you really going to marry Marcus Flint, a man cursed by a witch? Aren’t you afraid of punishment?” I smiled. “Being with you was already my biggest punishment.”

On the day Mateo was crowned as the Alpha King of the Eastern Packs, I learned that my remaining wolf's power was depleted and that the silver curse would eventually take my life. During the coronation ceremony, the Grand Elder asked Mateo who he regretted losing the most. Without hesitation, he dialed my number. I answered, listening to his cold voice through the phone: "When I got hurt, after you left me thinking I wasn't Alpha anymore, did you ever regret it?" Looking at the astronomical bill for another month's supply of moonwort potion, I laughed softly: "Mateo, since you're so powerful now, could you lend me 500,000 for the treatment?" The line went dead instantly. On the live broadcast, I watched as his face turned to ice: "Now I have no regrets." He didn't know that seven years ago, when that cursed silver dagger was killing him, I had secretly channeled my wolf's power to him, taking the curse upon myself.

Delilah was an Omega with a unique scent. Her stepmother took advantage of it and wanted to sell her to different men. After losing all the way to save herself from the conspiracy of her step-parents, she went to the forest to find a way to live.  But a dangerous beast was living there for years. People were frightened just to think about him and never dared to go inside the forest. It was like his own kingdom. What if she collided with the beast? Will he hunt her or let her stay alive?

Aujourd’hui, c’est notre troisième anniversaire de mariage. Le dîner est prêt… mais il n’est jamais rentré. Notre union n’a jamais été faite d’amour, juste d’un malentendu. Trois ans sans enfant, une belle-mère qui ne m’a jamais acceptée, un mari distant, et pourtant… je l’aime encore. Il y a trois jours, j’ai appris que j’étais enceinte. Ce soir, j’espérais lui annoncer la nouvelle. Mais une notification a tout brisé : une photo de lui, en train d’embrasser ma sœur. J’ai reconnu le lieu. J’ai pris mes clés. Je suis rentrée seule. J’ai passé la nuit à pleurer. Dans la chambre d’à côté, ils ont fait l’amour. Et moi, recroquevillée sur un canapé, j’ai touché le fond. Le matin, c’est sa mère qui m’a réveillée avec un seau d’eau glacée. Elle m’a hurlé que je n’étais plus sa belle-fille, que je n’avais plus rien à faire ici. Alors je suis partie , trempée, humiliée, brisée. Mais dans ma poche, il y a ce papier froissé. Le prénom d’un inconnu. Un regard posé sur moi, hier soir. Le seul qui m’ait vraiment vue. Peut-être que c’est là que tout commence.

The day before the final round of Beta selection, I was poisoned with wolfsbane and locked inside my burning house. The fire spread too fast, and my weakened state prevented me from shifting. My wolf, Emma, screamed in my mind, but I couldn't escape. I clawed at the door as the flames seared my skin. When I was rescued, my body was covered in burns, my skin raw and torn. Outside the operating room, I heard my mother sobbing, repeating, “It’s my fault... I locked the door by accident... I never meant to...” Alpha David, my mate, called for every healer to restore me, but his cold words to my mother were chilling: “If Serina wasn’t so vain and selfish, I wouldn’t have had to do this. Becky was fragile, struggling with depression, yet Serina flaunted her success in front of her. This is what Serina owes her.” David’s actions were meant to pave the way for Becky to become Beta, but I was the one who suffered. He claimed to be treating me well, but destroying my health and future didn’t feel like care. I pressed my hand to my bandaged chest, the numbness spreading. Emma growled inside me, weakened by the wolfsbane. I no longer wanted the love of the mother who betrayed me or the mate who was supposed to protect me. I wanted nothing from them anymore.
