Dans la meute des Terres Boréales, une loi immuable interdisait à un Alpha de s'unir à une humaine. Pourtant, Kévin Volf a secrètement scellé le lien conjugal avec moi. Pour me garder à ses côtés, il a défié le Conseil des Sages, subi quatre-vingt-dix-neuf coups de fouet et s'est agenouillé trois jours entiers devant l'autel. Alors que le sang imbibait sa chemise, il me souriait encore : « Alice, n'aie pas peur. Toi, et rien que toi. » Plus tard, les Sages obstinés ont enfin cédé, acceptant notre fuite amoureuse. À une condition : qu'il donne à la meute un héritier de sang pur. Depuis ce jour, une phrase a rythmé nos vies : « Attends un peu. » La première fois, il m'a demandé d'attendre qu'il mette une louve enceinte. Trente-trois nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à ce qu'elle porte son enfant. La seconde fois, il a répété cette phrase, car la portée était une femelle, le clan exigeait un héritier mâle. Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf nouvelles nuits avec Joséphine, jusqu'à la grossesse suivante. Au moment où je croyais toucher au but, leur fille, fraîchement baptisée, a ingéré par erreur de l'aconit. Tous m'ont accusée. Jetée dans une chambre froide à moins vingt degrés, j'ai vu mon Alpha bien-aimé, les yeux écarlates et le regard glaçant, me dire : « Je t'avais pourtant dit de patienter… Tu sais ce que l'aconit représente pour nous. Pourquoi as-tu voulu faire du mal à mon enfant ? » Son enfant ? Vraiment ? J'ai senti mon cœur se déchirer. Mes poings se sont serrés, les ongles entaillant cruellement mes paumes. Lorsque la porte du congélateur s'est rouverte, j'ai desserré mes mains ensanglantées et une décision était née : « L'attente, c'est terminé ! »

Orang tuaku mengadopsi seorang anak yatim piatu dan aku sangat menyayanginya, bahkan memperlakukannya layaknya anakku sendiri. Sampai akhirnya aku sadar, wajahnya semakin mirip dengan suamiku, Yobel, bahkan diam-diam memanggil adikku dengan sebutan ‘ibu’. Ternyata, suamiku yang begitu mencintaiku sudah lama berselingkuh. Dia dan adikku diam-diam membangun keluarga bahagia, bahkan mendapat restu dari orang tuaku. Saat semuanya terbongkar, adikku memohon agar aku merestui mereka dan orang tuaku menyuruhku untuk mengalah. Anak yang begitu kusayangi selama ini, malah mengutukku dengan kejam. Namun, mereka tak menyangka, sebenarnya Yobel yang menolak untuk bercerai. Dia menangis memohon pengampunanku, berkata bahwa dia benar-benar mencintaiku dan anak itu hanyalah sebuah kecelakaan. Aku berpura-pura percaya pada ketulusannya, lalu berkata, “Tujuh hari, aku kasih kamu tujuh hari. Kalau kamu bisa menunjukkan ketulusanmu, aku akan memaafkanmu.” Yobel senang bukan main dan menuruti semua perkataanku, memperlakukanku seperti harta berharga. Demi diriku, dia bahkan menyumbangkan seluruh tabungannya, memaksa adikku berlutut di salju untuk meminta maaf padaku. Semua orang mengira aku akan memaafkannya, hingga hari di mana polisi datang untuk menyuruh mereka mengidentifikasi jenazah. Saat itulah, Yobel benar-benar gila. Yobel tidak tahu, sebenarnya aku sudah mati sejak tujuh hari lalu. Hanya saja, malaikat kematian memberiku izin kembali ke dunia selama tujuh hari, untuk berpamitan dengan Yobel.

Some fairy tales have happy endings, some have tragic ones, but there are also some fairy tales that never really end. Let's say, the story of a crown prince who was never crowned, a younger brother who pursued pseudo revenge, a lotus princess who never became a lotus flower, or the story of siblings who were banished without breadcrumbs. For a long time hanging around without any certainty, the tales accidentally unite to achieve the same goal. Being in the same side. Fight against the same enemy. Seize the happy ending, because the darkness doesn't deserve it.

Até que ponto meu marido já me amou um dia? Naquela época, para poder se casar comigo, ele me pediu em casamento noventa e nove vezes. Somente na centésima vez, fui finalmente tocada por sua tenacidade. Tornei-me a Sra. Menezes, invejada por todos em Cidade Solmar. No dia do nosso casamento, dei a ele noventa e nove cupons de perdão. Combinamos que, enquanto esses cupons de perdão não fossem todos usados, eu permaneceria sempre ao seu lado. Em cinco anos de casamento, cada vez que ele saía para encontrar seu antigo amor, um cupom de perdão era usado. Quando ele usou o 97º cupom, ele de repente percebeu que eu havia mudado. Eu não chorava mais, nem implorava para que ele ficasse. Só quando ele perdia a cabeça por sua secretária, encantadora e ingênua, eu perguntava baixinho: — Se você vai ficar com ela, posso usar um cupom de perdão? O homem hesitou por um momento, e uma rara brandura surgiu em seu coração: — Tudo bem, de qualquer forma, só usei uns sessenta e poucos. Pode usar se quiser. Eu assenti com um murmúrio e o deixei ir. Ele não sabia que aquele era o 97º cupom de perdão que usava. Restavam apenas dois dos nossos cupons de perdão.

“What happens if I don’t give you what you want” “Then we’ll make you worship us on your knees, piccola.” Rafael muttered with certainty. Leone’s lips brushed my ear. “You’ll fight, you’ll curse…but in the end, amore mio, you’ll beg.” “…And you’ll beg for all of us.” Enzo added, as he crouched between my legs. Aurelia Reed has spent her life trying to outrun her family’s shadow. Being the daughter of a traitor, and a rising model means she has to work twice as hard to make a name for herself outside the Outfit. She is stubborn, opinionated, and the last woman who would ever submit quietly to a mafia marriage. But when her cousin refuses to wed, Aurelia is forced into her place, and handed to the infamous Moretti twins, two brothers who despise each other but are now bound to her. Different in every way, neither brother is particularly eager for her presence, and Aurelia quickly learns that her marriage is less about love than it is about survival.

Caught between two husbands locked in rivalry and the brother she was never meant to touch, Aurelia soon realizes that in the Morretti's world, nothing is safe—not her heart, not her body, and certainly not the line she’s about to cross.
