To save his childhood sweetheart suffering from a congenital heart condition, my mate Ethan—the storm pack’s Alpha—forced me to remove my heart to be given to his beloved. "Don't worry, you are the rarest white wolf with the strongest healing ability. I have prepared an artificial heart for you, and you will be fine." Ethan said. I tried to explain to my mate Ethan that my healing ability has become very poor in the past year, so that transplanting my heart would kill me. My mate snarled at me with disgust, "Selene is so gravely ill, and here you are, jealous and fighting for attention! She saved my life when I was suffering from silver poisoning a year ago! You won't die anyway, so why can't you help her?" Under the mandatory order of my mate, I was sent to the pack healer for the heart transplant. He didn’t know that I was the one who had exchanged my rare white wolf's healing ability with a witch to save him from silver poisoning. In the end, with my healing abilities gone, I died miserably in a forgotten corner of the empty healer's cabin.

When I was eight years old, Kieran Blackwood, Alpha of the Ironwood Pack, saved me from a rogue wolf den. He adopted me and said he would protect me for life. When I was twelve, I met Beta Ryan Cross. He treated me as her own sister and also promised to protect me for life. But later, these two men who swore to guard me forever pushed me into the flames with their own hands. All to please their childhood sweetheart. But when I ran away from Ironwood Pack, the Alpha and Beta both went crazy.

My Alpha mate has canceled our carefully planned honeymoon trips fourteen times for his Omega secretary. The first time, because of the secretary's phone call about "lost territorial maps," he didn't hesitate to abandon me at a strange Nordic airport. The second time, because of the secretary's plea for help, he drove back alone to the pack's core territory, leaving me alone in the dangerous hunting grounds. For four years, I carefully planned fourteen honeymoon trips, but each time my mate would abandon me to choose to accompany his Omega secretary. Finally, I stopped insisting and decided to give up this mating relationship that was never firmly chosen. But when I joined the Alpha Council's secret research project and decided to leave forever, he cried and searched the whole world for me.

Le premier amour de mon compagnon, Sarah Blackwood, et moi avions chacune un fils de huit ans. Le fils de Sarah a tué un loup innocent. Au lieu de le livrer à la justice de la meute, mon compagnon m'a demandé que notre propre enfant prenne la responsabilité du crime. « Marcus ne passera que cinq ans dans la Prison d'Argent », m'a-t-il grogné. « Sarah et Jamie n'ont aucune protection — l'exil les tuerait tous les deux ! Notre fils est assez fort pour survivre à ça ! » Pendant qu'il les a envoyés à l'étranger pour fuir la justice, les gardes de ses parents ont traîné notre petit innocent en prison. Quand Ryan est revenu… j'avais déjà disparu.

To become Marcus's Luna, I hid my identity as Crimson Ridge pack's Alpha heiress and married him. Since two Alphas have difficulty conceiving offspring, I even begged the pack witch to suppress my bloodline, downgrading my wolf from Alpha to Beta. After I finally got pregnant, Marcus was out shopping with his omega mistress while I was being attacked by rogue wolves and losing our child. I forced myself to like the social media post where his lover was showing off their relationship, fighting back nausea. His call came through immediately. "What are you trying to pull now! The pack successfully signed a cooperation treaty with the neighboring pack today. You didn't even show up to the celebration, so Ivy had to take over all your Luna duties and has been taking care of my daily needs. You should be thanking her for helping you out!" "You're supposed to be a strong warrior! How can one pregnancy make you this delicate?!" He finished his rant and hung up in anger. Right. I'd been away from home too long. I was starting to forget my own last name. I didn't hesitate anymore. I picked up my phone and dialed a number I hadn't called in ages. "Beta Hayes, book me a flight for tomorrow morning. I'm going back to Crimson Ridge pack."

Após a morte dos meus pais, fui inesperadamente adotada pelo Alfa e pela Luna, tornando-me a única humana no território dos lobisomens. Por vinte anos, os herdeiros gêmeos Alfa me cobriram de afeto. Seus cuidados e favoritismo deixavam todos ao redor enlouquecidamente invejosos. Mas, quando quis escolher um companheiro, ambos me rejeitaram. Kane disse: — Quero me concentrar em expandir nosso território de lobos primeiro. Não quero encontrar uma companheira tão cedo. Liam disse: — Humanos não suportam a linhagem Alfa. No dia seguinte, no meu banquete de aniversário, ambos propuseram-se simultaneamente à filha da criada Ômega. Para agradá-la, me forçaram a beber a bebida "Chama de Sangue", que um humano jamais poderia suportar. Fiquei completamente arrasada. No dia em que recebi alta do hospital, liguei para minha mãe adotiva: — Estou disposta a me casar com o Rei Vampiro.

The enemies of my adopted sister's parents mistook me for her and kidnapped me. Before the rogues killed me, they gave me three phone calls for help. If anyone was willing to give me three hundred dollars, I could live. For the first call, I dialed my father. Father didn't listen to a word I said. He immediately unleashed a torrent of curses. "Where the hell are you? Get your ass back home right now for your sister's birthday!" For the second call, I dialed my brother. My brother listened silently to my plea for help, then hung up with a cold snort. "You're never around when the pack needs you. Who's going to fall for this act now?" For the third call, I dialed my fiancé. He didn't even answer. When I called again, I'd been blocked. The rogue wolf laughed at me. "Looks like being the eldest daughter of the Ashwood family doesn't mean much, does it?" After he tortured me to death, he stuffed my body into a suitcase and threw it in the river.

The day my daughter Aria was discharged from the hospital, my Alpha mate Marcus returned from his two-week business trip with his Omega secretary Vivian. My daughter was hospitalized due to nut allergy, but she gave Aria nut chocolate as a gift. I suppressed my anger and refused, but Marcus frowned and scolded me:"Serena, Vivian meant well. She didn't know about the allergy." After sending Vivian away, Marcus sent me and my daughter countless expensive gifts to compensate, which I silently accepted. Marcus breathed a sigh of relief, thinking I would continue to play the role of his obedient Luna. But when he learned that I, who was 3 months pregnant, had gone alone to the Alpha Council and submitted a mate bond dissolution application, the powerful Alpha broke down and begged me to come back.

Cinq années s'étaient écoulées depuis que mon compagnon Adam Chauvin m'avait secrètement marquée. Son frère, l'Alpha de la tribu d'Ombre Lunaire, est mort dans la guerre territoriale. Pour devenir le nouvel Alpha de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam a hérité de tout ce que son défunt frère a laissé derrière lui. Y compris sa belle-sœur veuve, Victoria. Après chaque nuit passée dans le lit de Victoria, Adam me serrait contre lui en me disant des paroles rassurantes : « Léa, patiente encore un peu. Dès que Victoria sera enceinte, nous aurons notre cérémonie d'union ! » C'était la seule condition imposée par la tribu pour qu'il puisse hériter du titre d'Alpha. Au cours des six mois écoulés depuis son retour sur le territoire de l'Ombre Lunaire, Adam s'était rendu d'innombrables fois dans la chambre de Victoria. Enfin, après d'innombrables nuits passées jusqu'à l'aube, la nouvelle est tombée : Victoria était enceinte. Mais cette nouvelle s'accompagnait d'une autre – Adam et Victoria allaient tenir leur cérémonie d'union. « Maman, il y aura une cérémonie d'union ici ? » a demandé ma fille. J'ai regardé autour de moi. Le grand hall était rempli de fleurs et de ballons. Dehors, des gens s'affairaient joyeusement à faire des préparatifs de la cérémonie d'union. J'ai serré ma fille dans mes bras : « Oui, ma chérie. Ton père va tenir une cérémonie d'union avec celle qu'il aime, ce qui signifie qu'il est temps pour nous de partir. » Adam ne savait pas que, dans la tribu de Nouvelle lune Argentée, nous ne nous préoccupions pas des soi-disant cérémonies d'union. Chez nous, les louves étaient vénérées. Ma mère était l'Alpha actuelle, et il me suffisait de donner naissance à une héritière pour lui succéder. J'ai composé un numéro que je n'avais pas appelé depuis cinq ans : « Mère, j'ai maintenant une héritière. Je suis prête à rentrer à la maison pour réclamer ta place d'Alpha. »

En mi vida anterior, nadie me amaba excepto mi Alfa, Grayson. Mis padres y hermanos me trataban como un banco de esencia de lobo para mi hermana Victoria. Pero Grayson recordaba que le tenía miedo a la oscuridad y, discretamente, dejaba una luz nocturna encendida después de mis transfusiones de esencia; guardó en su corazón mi comentario casual de que quería encontrar un lugar tranquilo para pintar y, como si nada, me dio cinco mil millones para comprar mi bosque favorito. Cuando le confesé mis sentimientos, aunque se quedó atónito, aceptó mi declaración y prometió que formalizaríamos nuestra unión. Dios sabe lo feliz que fui en ese momento; resulta que mi amor era correspondido. Solo cuando estaba a punto de morir comprendí que su amabilidad hacia mí estaba condicionada a que continuara donando esencia de lobo a Victoria. Tras renacer, lo primero que hice fue gastar cinco mil millones para comprar un bosque aislado. —Ember, ¿está segura de que quiere adquirir este bosque? Si se muda ahí, quedará casi incomunicada del mundo exterior. Asentí, con un tono de alivio en la voz. —Eso es exactamente lo que quiero: un lugar donde nadie pueda encontrarme. Pero cuando me fui de verdad, ¿por qué mi familia y Grayson perdieron la cabeza y me suplicaron que regresara?
