Alyssa Targaryen

My Alpha brother's Omega assistant had always wanted to be Luna. She didn’t know my identity and she mistook me as a rival trying to steal her place. She framed me for theft and tortured me without mercy. As I lay dying, it was my old companion—Rex, the Siberian war dog who had fought beside my brother and earned the highest military honors—who sacrificed his life to protect me. She dragged me by my hair, smugly satisfied, and threw me before the crowd like refuse. In her hands, she flaunted her "gift" made from Rex's fur. She had no idea she was about to face the fury of the entire werewolf world.

Mon père est furieux et m'enferme dans la maison de feu, là où sont punis des criminels loups-garous, parce que la fille de l'amour d'enfance de mon père a été accidentellement brûlée. Le Bêta de la meute, mon père, me regarde avec un profond dégoût inscrit sur le visage : « Je n'ai pas une fille aussi cruelle. Tu resteras ici pour réfléchir à ce que tu as fait. » Je le supplie de me pardonner, à voix haute, j'admets ma faute, je le supplie de me laisser sortir. Tout ce que je reçois en retour, c'est son ordre implacable. « À moins qu'elle ne soit morte, personne ne doit la libérer. » La maison de feu se dresse, isolée, à la lisière du territoire. Peu importe combien je crie à l'aide, personne ne m'entend. Il ordonne à l'intendante de programmer la pièce de sorte qu'elle projette des flammes toutes les deux heures. Les brûlures sont atroces, ma régénération de louve-garou ne suffit qu'à me maintenir en vie entre deux sessions. Dix jours plus tard, il se souvient enfin qu'il a une fille et décide de me libérer. Mais ce qu'il ignore, c'est que je suis déjà morte dans cette maison de feu, je ne me réveillerai plus jamais.

My Alpha mate Kieran ordered our eight-year-old son to burn my mother alive because his Omega assistant accused me of killing her pet dog out of spite. Kieran's eyes were filled with impatience and disgust. "You're supposed to be our pack's respected Luna. Why would you target an innocent Omega? Whatever harm her pet suffered, your mother will endure the same. Your mother is paying the price for your jealousy!" I fell to my knees, begging Kieran to spare my mother. But he commanded our seven-year-old son Owen to light the fire himself. My son didn't hesitate for a second as he threw the torch into the pile of wood. "That's what you get for always going against Aunt Sera!" I screamed and cried, desperately begging them to help me put out the flames. "Please, I'm begging you, take my mother to the healing center..." "Enough, Aria. Your mother is still lying in the hospital bed. That's just a training dummy. Stop putting on this pathetic act." After saying that, father and son walked away without looking back. They didn't know that it really was my mother burning in those flames. But when I finally gave up on them and left, why did they both come crawling back, begging me to return?

To help my "destitute" husband pay off his debts, I scavenged for scraps for five years. My son and I survived on expired canned food. That changed on my son's birthday. I saw him in a bespoke suit, spending millions to celebrate the birthday of the woman he truly loved. That was the moment I realized he was actually the most powerful billionaire on Wall Street. To please the love of his life, he let our child be injected with unknown drugs, leaving him on the brink of death. He even forced me to drain my own blood to save her son. Later, I became someone he could no longer reach. I linked arms with a man far more powerful than him and walked away. That once arrogant man ended up kneeling in the Arctic snow, clutching a photo I had burned, weeping like a stray dog.

My mate Garrett inherited the Alpha position after his brother, the former Alpha of the Silver Claw Pack, was killed in the war against the Rogue wolves. And along with it, he inherited his sister-in-law Sarah. From that day forward, he gave me his love, but gave his resources and privileges to his sister-in-law. He claimed she would face cruelty from pack members without the protection of an Alpha, so he took her to Moonhaven Sanctuary—the most secure settlement in the entire Northern Territory—while leaving me behind in the abandoned, low-ranking wastelands of our pack. Every month, he wrote me five letters expressing his longing and affection, yet gave all hunting spoils and money to his sister-in-law. When Rogue wolves invaded, my mate dispatched the pack's strongest forces to protect her and her two children, while my two pups didn't even wait for my return from the hunt. They died cold and hungry, torn apart and devoured by Rogue wolves. Later, I finally managed to wait for my mate Garrett's return. He didn't shed a single tear for our children and told me he wanted to break our bond. "Ember, Sarah can’t keep Luna position anymore so that she can't enjoy the privileges that come with it. My brother died protecting me, so I must protect his widow and her children. " "Don't worry, once her children grow up safe and strong enough, I'll break the bond with her and re-establish our mate bond, because I only love you." He continued. The backlash from the broken bond tortured me until I was barely alive, and I ended my own life. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day my pups were brutally killed. This time, I didn't leave my children to go hunting. Instead, I took them with me to claim everything that rightfully belonged to us...

Trois jours avant ma cérémonie de marquage, quelqu’un a incendié la boutique nuptiale alors que j'étais en train d’essayer ma robe. Alpha Marcus a jeté l'incendiaire en prison, le condamnant à la peine la plus sévère autorisée par nos lois. Allongée sur mon lit d’hôpital, le corps couvert de brûlures au troisième degré, je refusais d’ouvrir complètement les yeux, incapable d’accepter l’horreur de ma défiguration. Dans un état semi-conscient, j’ai entendu Marcus parler avec la guérisseuse de la meute. « Alpha, nous pouvons encore la guérir complètement avec la magie ancienne. Si nous attendons plus longtemps, Sarah gardera ces cicatrices à vie ! Vous voulez juste que Mademoiselle Rachel devienne votre Luna lors de la cérémonie. C'est d’une cruauté inqualifiable ! » « Laisse-lui ces cicatrices. Je prendrai soin d’elle jusqu’à la fin de ses jours, mais si elle guérit, elle viendra semer le trouble à la cérémonie. » « J’ai promis à Rachel que son enfant serait accueilli dans la meute avec tous les honneurs. Tant que Sarah sera complètement défigurée, elle sera assez reconnaissante pour élever l’enfant de Rachel comme le sien. Ces cicatrices sont nécessaires — au moins ainsi, elle n’osera jamais maltraiter le petit. » Dans un coin de la chambre, hors de leur regard, une larme a coulé sur ma joue brûlée. Alors, c’était ça, la vérité. La cérémonie dont j’avais tant rêvé n’était qu’un mensonge. Le lien d’âme que j’espérais tant était en réalité ma condamnation à mort. Si c’était ainsi, alors je lui donnerais exactement ce qu’il voulait.

I was preparing a gift for our six-year anniversary when my best friend sent me a photo of my Alpha boyfriend kissing another she-wolf. "Wait, when did you get to Chicago?" The she-wolf in the picture looked a lot like me, but it wasn't me. That's when I found out that my boyfriend of six years had been searching for replacements for his dead childhood sweetheart the whole time. I was number 5. The she-wolf in the photo was number 18. I rushed to Chicago and tracked down Lucas using his phone's location. "Dude, this number 18 really looks like Ally, even more than Sophia does!" "Nah man, Sophia still looks more like her. She's number 5 after all - if she didn't look so much like Ally, why would Lucas have stuck with her for six years?" Lucas flicked his cigarette ash, looking completely relaxed: "They both look pretty similar, but number 18's way better in bed. Sophia's too uptight." "I heard you had someone pick out a diamond ring. You planning to propose? To Sophia or this new chick?" Lucas leaned back into the couch with a cocky grin: "Haven't decided yet. Why don't you guys choose for me?" I turned around, my whole body shaking as a chill ran from my head to my toes. After calming down, I texted my best friend: "Your Alpha cousin, the one who had a crush on me and waited four years - is he still single?"

Après la mort de mes parents, j'ai été adoptée de façon inattendue par l'Alpha et Luna, devenant ainsi la seule humaine sur un territoire de loups-garous. Pendant vingt ans, leurs héritiers jumeaux, futurs Alphas, m'ont couverte d'affection. Leur poursuite et leurs faveurs rendaient tout le monde follement jaloux. Mais lorsque j'ai voulu choisir un compagnon, ils m'ont tous les deux rejetée. Kane a dit, « Je veux d'abord me concentrer sur l'expansion de notre territoire. Je ne veux pas trouver une compagne aussi tôt. » Liam a dit, « Les humains ne peuvent pas porter la lignée d'un Alpha. » Le lendemain, lors de mon banquet d'anniversaire, ils ont tous les deux demandé en même temps la main de la fille de la servante Oméga. Pour lui faire plaisir, ils m'ont forcée à boire de la liqueur 'Flamme de Sang', une boisson que les humains ne pouvaient absolument pas supporter. J'étais complètement anéantie. Le jour où j'ai été autorisée à sortir de l'hôpital, j'ai appelé ma mère adoptive. « Je suis prête à épouser le Roi Vampire. »

Nachdem meine Eltern gestorben waren, wurde ich völlig unerwartet vom Alpha und der Luna adoptiert – und war damit der einzige Mensch im Rudelgebiet der Werwölfe. Zwanzig Jahre lang überschütteten mich ihre Zwillings-Nachfolger, die künftigen Alphas, mit Zuneigung. Ihr Werben und ihre Bevorzugung machten alle rasend vor Neid. Doch als ich mir einen von ihnen als Gefährten wählen wollte, wiesen mich beide als Gefährtin zurück. Kane sagte: „Ich will mich zuerst darauf konzentrieren, unser Rudelgebiet zu erweitern. Ich will noch nicht so früh eine Gefährtin finden.“ Liam sagte: „Menschen können Alpha-Blut nicht ertragen.“ Am nächsten Tag, bei meinem Geburtstagsbankett, machten beide gleichzeitig der Tochter einer Omega-Bediensteten einen Antrag. Um sie glücklich zu machen, zwangen sie mich, die Spirituose „Blood Flame“ zu trinken – etwas, das kein Mensch je hätte aushalten können. Ich war völlig am Boden zerstört. An dem Tag, an dem ich aus dem Krankenhaus entlassen wurde, rief ich meine Adoptivmutter an. „Ich bin bereit, den Vampirkönig zu heiraten.“

On my son's fifth birthday, my Alpha mate allowed his childhood sweetheart Sarah to pick him up from school. I discovered through the tracking device on his watch that he was near the edge of the forest. Having heard reports of rogue wolves attacking in the area recently, I anxiously rushed over, determined to bring him back immediately. He refused to leave with me. While we were locked in this standoff, several rogue wolves burst from the treeline and attacked us. During the fight, I was wounded badly, blood streaming down my face, while I kept my son safely behind me, completely unharmed. But when my Alpha mate arrived to rescue us, he ran straight toward his childhood sweetheart who was hiding off to the side. "Aunt Sarah is a delicate Omega with no fighting ability, Dad. Save her first! Mom, you're so strong, just hold on a little longer!" my son called out. I watched them leave, a bitter smile forming on my lips. They all seemed to ignore the silver dagger piercing my heart as I protected my son. I was dying.
