« Laisse-moi être ta véritable épouse pendant un seul mois, Daven. » Cela a été une demande simple - presque modeste - qui a résonné comme la dernière supplique d'une femme au cœur brisé. Mais pour Althea Grayson, ce n'était pas une faiblesse. C'était sa fierté. Le prix qu'elle a réclamé pour l'amour qu'elle a donné sans jamais, pas une seule fois, le recevoir en retour. Elle le savait dès le début : leur mariage n'a jamais été une histoire d'amour. Daven Callister l'a épousée par devoir, sous la pression de sa grand-mère. Il n'y avait ni étreintes tendres ni regards amoureux – seulement un silence glacial et une grande maison vide qui n'avait jamais eu l'air d'un vrai foyer. Pourtant, Althea s'est accrochée. Elle essayait d'être une bonne épouse, gardant toujours l'espoir qu'un jour, le cœur de Daven finirait par s'adoucir. Mais cet espoir a été brisé par une trahison - Daven a annoncé son plan d'épouser une autre femme - celle qu'il aimait vraiment. L'opinion d'Althea ? On s'en fout. Toute sa famille soutenait la décision de Daven. Désillusionnée et cœur brisé, Althea a formulé une dernière requête : un mois à être aimée comme une vraie épouse. Un seul mois… avant qu'elle ne parte pour toujours. Daven a cru que c'était un geste désespéré – pathétique, même. Mais ce mois unique a tout changé. La façon dont Althea souriait, dont elle l'aimait sans retenue. Même la façon dont elle est partie – en laissant derrière elle quelque chose qui s'est incrusté dans le cœur de Daven. Et désormais, Daven s'est retrouvé perdu. Alors que l'amour, qu'il n'avait jamais reconnu, se révélait enfin… était-il déjà trop tard ? Ou devait-il se battre contre tout, rien que pour une dernière chance ?

My fated mate, Alpha Cullen, fell for the lies of his first love, Donna, and planned to kill me. But in a twist of fate, we were ambushed by rogues and died together. But with his last breath, he whispered another woman's name: Donna. In that moment, I knew the truth—it had always been her, his real love. When the Moon Goddess gave me a second chance, I was reborn on the day I first met him. One look at the hatred in his eyes, and I knew: he had been reborn, too. So before he could speak, I rejected him in front of the entire pack. Years later, when we met again, he sneered that I was nothing more than a pathetic rogue who tinkered with flowers.

It wasn't until our son ran to me, wrapping his little arms around my leg and crying, "Mommy!" that Cullen's façade finally shattered. He grabbed my arm, his voice cracking as he begged, "This can't be happening! I'm your fated mate! You still love me… right, Juliet?"

No dia do meu casamento, meus pais chegaram em casa com o meu noivo e uma decisão que partiu meu mundo ao meio: a noiva seria outra. — Sua irmã está morrendo. O último desejo dela é se casar com Otávio. — Disseram, com a voz firme de quem já decidiu. — Você é a irmã mais nova. Seja generosa. Faça esse sacrifício por ela. Otávio, o homem que eu amava, olhou nos meus olhos e disse com uma calma gelada: — É só um casamento simbólico. Quando ela partir, nós oficializamos o nosso. Eu disse não. E por isso, me prenderam. Com cordas e promessas vazias. — Depois da cerimônia, vamos te soltar. — Garantiram. Mas a cerimônia aconteceu. E, enquanto eles celebravam o que chamaram de amor, um estranho entrou pela porta da frente. E me matou. Sem piedade. Quando finalmente lembraram de mim, encontraram apenas o silêncio da casa e o meu corpo, já sem vida, tomado pelo tempo.
