For five years, my relationship with Vampire Lord Dominic had endured every trial set by my grandfather—the reigning Vampire King. He had finally been prepared to pass the Vampire King’s throne to me— until the truth surfaced: my bond with Dominic was never real. The Sterling family’s wealth—worth hundreds of billions—and the Vampire King’s crown could be inherited by me alone. “Miss Sterling,” the Council archivist informed me coldly,“the Blood Registry confirms that your Blood Bond was formally dissolved one year ago.” “Dominic Costa’s registered Bloodbound Consort is… Ava Morgan.” “You are currently listed as unbound.” “Which means,” the message concluded,“Lord Dominic Costa is disqualified from inheriting the Sterling family’s assets, titles, or the Vampire King’s throne.” Ava Morgan.Dominic Costa’s human companion. I stared at the message sent by the Sterling Council Elders, unable to steady my breathing. So all these years—his devotion, his exclusivity, the affection he claimed was meant for me alone— had been nothing but a carefully constructed lie. I had planned to tell him about my pregnancy on the fifth anniversary of our Blood Bond. After all, for five years of marriage, this child had been the future we both claimed to long for. But now, it was clear—perhaps he had never been waiting for a child at all. I rested my hand against my abdomen and thought quietly: my twins do not need a father to exist. As for a man who built our love on deception— the only thing left for me to do is to leave.

Je suis née une oméga fragile, mais mon don de prophétie a fait de moi la Sainte des Meutes du Nord. Le Conseil des Anciens a exigé que je choisisse un compagnon parmi les Alphas des grandes meutes. L'Alpha que j'ai choisi était destiné à conduire le Nord à la victoire et à être couronné Roi des Alphas. J'ai choisi l'Alpha Kane sans hésitation. Il m'avait sauvé la vie une fois. Le jour de notre cérémonie de lien, j'ai rougi et tremblé lorsqu'il a enfoncé ses crocs dans mon cou. Mais au moment où nous avons été liés, son véritable amour Scarlett, sa Bêta d'enfance, est devenue folle de jalousie. Elle a tenté de m'empoisonner, et pour son crime, les Anciens l'ont exilée. Elle est morte sur la route. Et moi ? J'ai utilisé mes prophéties pour aider Kane à gagner la guerre, pour le mettre sur le trône. Après son couronnement, il a plongé une lame d'argent dans mon cœur. Il m'a assassinée. « Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! » C'est seulement là que j'ai compris. Il m'avait détestée depuis toujours. J'ai rouvert les yeux… et j'étais de retour. De retour au jour où je devais choisir mon compagnon Alpha. Il se tenait devant moi, arrogant comme toujours. Il n'a perdu la tête que lorsqu'il a découvert que j'avais choisi un Alpha maudit. Je l'ai regardé s'agenouiller, implorant mon pardon. Mais dans cette vie, il n'y aurait aucune prophétie venant de moi. Voyons maintenant comment il survivra à la guerre.

Alpha Sébastien me détestait plus que tout, moi, sa compagne destinée. Juste parce que je n'étais qu'une humaine, une créature inutile sans griffes. Son cœur appartenait entièrement à son amie d'enfance Jeanne. Il m'a détestée pendant dix ans après la mort accidentelle de Jeanne. Mais quand une bombe d'une meute ennemie a explosé devant notre grotte, il m'a sauvée. Avant de mourir, il a reposé dans mes bras, couvert de sang, et a repoussé ma main tremblante avec ses dernières forces. « Hélène, si la Déesse de la Lune ne nous avait pas fait rencontrer... » Lors des funérailles, l'ancienne Luna, la mère de Sébastien, m'a serrée par le col et a sangloté de façon incontrôlable. « Sébastien, tout est de ma faute. Je n'aurais pas dû te forcer à accepter cette humaine. Est-ce que tout cela serait arrivé aujourd'hui si je t'avais soutenu dans ton choix de Jeanne ? » Je n'ai pas répondu, car elle avait raison. Après avoir été traînée hors de ces funérailles, je suis montée seule à la Crête de la Chute du Ciel, un terrain sacré pour la meute, et j'ai sauté. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je me retrouvait transportée au jour où la Déesse de la lune m'a désignée comme la compagne de Sébastien. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de rompre tous liens avec Sébastien et de donner à tout le monde ce qu'ils voulaient vraiment.

What exactly does it mean to be his bride? *** Every year, in each of the seven villages that made up the great Kingdom of Ignas, a Choosing Ritual was conducted. During this Chosing Ritual, one of the ladies in the village would be chosen to be the dreaded Dragon King's Bride. No one knew exactly why the ritual was being performed every year or what happened to the brides that had been chosen in the past. Was he turning them into slaves? Feeding them to his dragon? Or was he... feeding on them? That couldn't be ruled out. After all, there were rumours that the king wasn't like them, that he wasn't human. Yet the question relentlessly troubled the people's heart. What was he using them for?! But they dared not question the King, afraid of what fate daring to go against him would be. Anyways, none of these was Belladonna's business. Although it was her village's turn to produce a bride this year, she was certain she wouldn't get chosen. Why? Well, because she had a plan and she was absolutely certain it wouldn't fail her... or would it?

My best friend, Adeline Miller, and I marry into the Caldwell family together. Coincidentally, we become pregnant at the same time. I'm married to Rowan Caldwell, the older brother who's a famous psychiatrist. As for Adeline, she's married to Elliot Caldwell, the younger brother who's an extremely skilled doctor. Rowan gives me a ride to the hospital, hoping to accompany me to my prenatal check-up due to the discomfort I've been feeling throughout my pregnancy. But on the way there, he abandons me by the road and leaves me there because of a phone call from his first love, Veronica Whitmore. As I sob, I beg him, "Please, Rowan, I'm begging you! It's raining heavily right now! Can you please drive me to the hospital first?" Rowan shakes my hand off impatiently. "Veronica has slit her wrist! This means she might die! Can you be more understanding toward her situation, Emilia? I'm going to tend to her injury right now! You can go to the hospital on your own!" It's raining cats and dogs out in the world. Yet, Rowan doesn't hesitate to ditch me on the highway. Left without a choice, I can only call Adeline and ask her to drive over to pick me up. Unexpectedly, on the way to the hospital, we see a truck barreling toward us. While I'm unconscious, I hear Adeline crying while calling Elliot on the phone, only to get reprimanded by him. "Stop messing around, Adeline! Must you come up with all sorts of lies whenever I'm spending time with Veronica?" It's thanks to a passerby's help that an ambulance is called to the crash site. That's how we get to survive afterward. Alas, we both end up losing our babies. Upon regaining our consciousness, we just smile bitterly at each other. "Are you getting a divorce?" "Yeah."

Eu me chamo Ângela Guedes. No dia do quinto aniversário do meu filho, nós três fomos assistir a uma chuva de meteoros. No meio do passeio, meu marido atendeu um telefonema e partiu às pressas. No meio da noite, meu filho teve uma crise de asma, e o único remédio estava no carro do meu marido. Eu corria desesperada pelo campo deserto, segurando meu filho nos braços, ligando repetidamente para meu marido, mas recebi apenas uma mensagem fria: [Tenho uma emergência, não perturbe.] No dia seguinte, finalmente consegui falar com ele, mas quem atendeu foi a primeira namorada dele. — O meu cachorrinho morreu repentinamente ontem à noite. O Fidel ficou com medo de que eu ficasse muito triste e passou a noite comigo. Ele acabou de pegar no sono. Se tiver algo a dizer, pode falar para mim. Passei a mão pelo rostinho do meu filho, gelado, e senti o mundo desabar em silêncio. — Diga a ele que quero o divórcio.
