Arti Regrets

My older brother, Ethan Earnhart, was the Alpha of the Shadow Pack. Right now, he was slicing my chest open with a silver surgical blade. Beside him, my adopted sister, Sara, had tear-filled eyes. "Elina went as far as faking her own death just to escape the loan sharks. She even used the body of a disfigured rogue." Ethan's gaze was filled with disgust. He pointed at the bruises covering my body, marks left when I was alive, and explained calmly to the young healer beside him. "Look. This is what happens to a traitor who betrays the pack and sleeps with filthy rogues. Elina, being the liar she's always been, even found a stand-in for her little performance." My wolf soul hovered beside the operating table and watched in despair as he handled my body the way one would process prey. 'Ethan, that really is me. I was trying to retrieve something you lost. That was why they–' "Check the stomach contents," Ethan said flatly as he cut open my stomach. Unexpectedly, there was no food residue. Instead, there was a single ring. It was corroded black by stomach acid, but the emblem engraved on it was unmistakable. It was the Alpha heirloom Ethan had lost five years ago. I had swallowed it just before I died. I had to protect that secret even if I were dead. Ethan's hand trembled violently while holding the forceps. He tore into my facial flesh like a madman. "Elina?"

Walang ibang nais si Hyacinth Hilton-Ferrer kundi ang matanggap ni Vash Arsean Ferrer, ang kanyang asawa, ang kanilang anak na si Sean Vander Ferrer. Pinangako niya sa sarili niya na gagawin niya ang lahat para lang makuha muli pabalik ang asawa niya mula sa traydor niyang kaibigan na si Megan Briones. Sabi niya sa sarili niya ay hindi siya susuko hangga't hindi sila natatanggap ni Vash. Ngunit, bawat tao ay napapagod din. Dahil ayaw na ni Hyacinth na masaktan pa ang anak niya ay pinili na lang niyang sumuko sa pagmamakaawa sa asawa niya. Sa hindi inaasahan, biglang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin. Akala niya ay siya ang maghahabol sa kanyang asawa, ngunit kabaligtaran pala.

I had been managing the company’s warehouse software for five years. Then the new manager came to me out of the blue, saying I didn’t understand frontline operations and that I was being fired. Looking at the five-thousand-dollar severance, I just nodded. “Fine.” He patted my shoulder after seeing me so compliant and started lecturing. “Young people should be out on the line, moving boxes! What’s the use of sitting in the office staring at data every day? “We’re a logistics company. Strength is what matters, not a tech geek like you!” I glanced at the high-end gaming computer in his office and obediently replied, “Yes, Mr. Fuller. Lesson received.” Maybe I had been too comfortable these past few years, and he thought I was dispensable. So, I handed over my ID badge and casually deleted all my personal login keys from my computer. Little did he know that the entire warehouse logistics, inventory management, and route planning software had been coded by me. I had let the company use it for free simply because the place was close to home and the work was easy. Now that I was gone, the system running on my personal cloud server was naturally inaccessible. Tens of thousands of items in the warehouse ground to a halt. As for any commercial software that could replace my system, a year’s subscription would cost exactly one thousand times my severance.

I saved my husband, Raffaello, the Don of the mafia, from the hands of a rival family. In return, he forced me to kneel before his childhood sweetheart, Sofia, and bark like a dog just to cheer her up. Our son, Lorenzo, wandered into the family's chemical plant out of childish curiosity, so I dragged him out with my own hands. Only for him to look me in the eye and said that I wasn't worthy of being his mother. What my husband didn't know was that when the assassins came for him, I had deliberately drew them away, letting them capture me instead. They had injected a virus into body, which burned my throat and destroyed my voice forever. What my son didn't know either was that inside the chemical plant where I rescued him, I had inhaled an overwhelming amount of toxic powder, which later caused me to have severe asthma. That night, when my asthma flared up and my lungs began to fail, I used what little strength I had left to call my husband. He impatiently rebuked me, "Grace, stop bothering me for once. A person who is really dying wouldn't make such a scene. Don't think that I don't know that you're just jealous, trying to compete with Sofia for my attention." I collapsed into the snow, greedily gasping for the final breath of air. Then, everything went still. Later, Raffaello, who never loved me lost his mind. He injected the same virus over and over again into his body, just to feel the pain I once endured. Lorenzo, who refused to acknowledge me, attempted suicide repeatedly, begging fate to trade his life for mine. But, sadly, by then, I no longer loved them.

Alors qu'on m'a tranchée morceau par morceau, j'ai trouvé la force d'appeler mon frère. Il a décroché quand ma conscience s'est brouillée, avec une voix pleine d'agacement. « Qu'est-ce que tu veux encore ? » « Alex, sauve-moi… » Je n'ai pas fini ma phrase qu'il m'a coupée net. « Comment se fait-il que tu aies toujours des histoires ? À la fin du mois c'est la fête d'Élise Dubois, si tu ne viens pas, je te fais la peau ! » Après ces mots, il a raccroché sans hésiter. La douleur m'a vaincue, j'ai fermé les yeux pour toujours, avec des larmes encore aux coins de mes yeux. « Alex, tu n'as pas besoin de me tuer, je suis déjà morte. »

"Magkano ang kailangan mo, upang layuan ang anak ko?" tanong ni donya Marsha kay Estella, "hindi kita maaaring tanggapin dahil isa ka lamang dukha! saan ka ba napulot ni Ludwig? sa club? At sinong nakakaalam, kung yang dinadala mo, ay sa anak ko?" Isang sampal iyon para kay Estella. Ang inaasahan niyang maayos na pagtanggap sa kanya, ay magiging isa palang bangungot! Ang akala niya, matapos niyang matakasan ang matandang ipinagkakasundo sa kanya ng kanyang ama, ay magiging maayos na ang buhay niya, hindi pa pala. Kaharap niya ngayon ang isang repleksiyon ng matapobre niyang madrasta. Kuyom ang kamao, nilisan niya ang lugar na iyon, upang hindi na maalipusta pa, ng kahit na sino, sa pamilya ni Ludwig, dala dala ang anak nilang kambal, na hindi pa man naiisilang, ay itinakwil na. "Ako ang bahala sa inyo mga anak. Hindi ko hahayaang may mang-api pa sa inyo, gaya ng naranasan ko," kinakausap niya ang mga bata sa kanyang tiyan. "Babangon ako, at maniningil!" Tiningnan niyang muli ang mansiyon, sa huling pagkakataon. Hinulma niya sa isipan ang sinabi sa kanya ng kanyang biyenan. Saka hilam ng luha ang mga matang lumayo, na hindi alam kung saan tutungo.

Divorce. And a rejection. That's a fact I can't accept. Alpha Liam is going to divorce me, but I have no idea why he would come up with that after I have been his wife and Luna's wife for three years. On Monday morning, the Elders, Beta Jack, and my best friend Hazel, and I was waiting for Liam in the pack hall. They asked Liam to think about it twice. The way he showed up gave us all a punch in the gut. Liam walked into the room…with another woman on his arm!!! “Trista,” he said snidely. “Meet the NEW Luna, Lucy.” Lucy? Was he kidding me! She was an omega from the Red Moon Pack. She was the maid of the alpha there, but rumor had it she was also his mistress! How could he rejected me because of such a woman! But I was wrong. She was his first mate. And about me, I am his second chance mate after she left him three years ago. I was so broken and I decided to kept that secret from Liam--I was carrying his babies. I chose to live far away alone with my children, as further as I could. But what I didn't expect was that five years later...

"I will protect us, you and the baby and we'll live together" Max said with determination, for the very first time, the desperation to have me back was evident in his voice_ but it was too late_ my mind was locked up, my heart sealed; He caused it, every single thing I went through to this day had been because of his ignorance but now, I'm riling with mixed feelings but my decision doesn't change as my mind flashed back with memories_ Everything was at stake, my baby, my Mom. To save them, I had to give up my own feelings, give him an information that would make him not to look for me; it'll hurt, I know but it was for the greater good and I wouldn't mind giving it my all. " I'm sorry Max but I can't stay with you" I almost broke down as I said those words, watching those hard and stern expression he wore on his face everytime dissolve to fear, my heartbeat skipped, it felt completely empty, felt like I was leaving a part of me behind. "But why? I could change Vivian, I could forfeit the gang if you want, just let me__" "I can't Max because I'm not pregnant with your child!" I finally divulged the information and for a moment, a dangerous glint crossed his eyes. " I can't because it's not your baby Max, so let go!"
