Als ich weit entfernt von unserem Territorium von mehreren Abtrünnigen umzingelt war, kontaktierte ich meinen Gefährten, Alpha Luke, per Gedankenverbindung und flehte ihn um Hilfe an. Er lehnte die Verbindung fünfzehn Mal ab und schließlich blockierte er sie sogar vollständig. Am Ende brach ich vor Erschöpfung zusammen und verlor das Bewusstsein, während meine Wölfin vor Verzweiflung heulte. Als ich in der Krankenstation aufwachte, saß Alex, der Anführer eines Werwolfstammes, still neben mir. Er war es gewesen, der meine verzweifelte Gedankenverbindung empfangen hatte. Zehn Minuten später stürmte Luke mit Kristy, seiner sogenannten Adoptivschwester, und unseren Zwillingswelpen im Schlepptau in den Raum. „Hast du dieses ganze Theater etwa nur inszeniert, um Kristy in den Schatten zu stellen? Ist dir eigentlich klar, wie viel Kraft unsere Krieger aufgewendet haben, nur um deine Eitelkeit zu befriedigen? Du bist es wirklich nicht wert, eine Luna zu sein!“ Mein älterer Sohn Chris warf mir einen scharfen Blick zu und spottete: „Wo ist überhaupt deine Wunde, Mama? Du siehst völlig unversehrt aus. Hast du das alles nur vorgetäuscht, um Aufmerksamkeit zu bekommen?“ Mein jüngerer Sohn Collin starrte mich mit enttäuschten Augen an. Er schüttelte langsam den Kopf und flüsterte: „Mama, hast du uns schon wieder angelogen, nur weil wir Kristy mehr mögen?“ Kristy umklammerte Lukes Hand. Ihre Stimme zitterte vor vorgetäuschter Unschuld, und Tränen liefen ihr über die Wangen: „Es tut mir so leid, Christina! Ich werde meinen Geburtstag nicht mehr feiern. Aber bitte hör einfach auf, Luke und den Zwillingen Probleme zu bereiten!“ Dann sah ich zu, wie die vier sich umdrehten und ohne ein weiteres Wort mein Krankenzimmer verließen. Ich wandte mich an Alex und sagte mit eisiger und klarer Stimme: „Dieses Mal habe ich keine Zweifel und werde es auch nicht bedauern. Ich gehe! Ich werde mit dir ins Nordterritorium gehen. Und ich werde meine Worte nicht zurücknehmen.“

I was locked in the cellar by my triplet alpha brothers after my stepsister, Elsa, framed me for killing her wolf by giving her an almond cake. The exit was secured with silver chains, and my wolf howled and begged them to release me. But my three alpha brothers refused. Alpha Kane, the eldest, growled, "You wicked she-wolf! You knew she was allergic to nuts, yet you deliberately gave her an almond cake to suffocate her! Don't you know it could fatally harm her wolf? You must stay here and reflect on what you've done!" Alpha Kelvin, the second, and Alpha Karl, the third, mocked, "What a despicable wolf you are! Still making excuses instead of facing the truth. Stay here and suffer what you deserve!" After that, they shifted into their wolves and took the trembling Elsa to the werewolf infirmary. Meanwhile, I struggled to breathe as the air in the cellar was filled with silver dust. My wolf howled in agony, but it was useless. Eventually, I died there. It wasn't until three days later—after they brought Elsa back from the infirmary—that I finally crossed their minds again. But by then, they didn't know—I was already dead in that silver-dust-filled cellar.

Je suis enfermée dans le cellier par mes frères triplets Alphas après que ma belle-sœur, Elsa, m'ait accusée d'avoir tué sa louve en lui donnant un gâteau aux amandes. La sortie est scellée par des chaînes en argent et ma louve hurle et les supplie de me relâcher. Mais mes trois frères Alphas refusent. L'Alpha Kane, le plus âgé, grogne, « louve possédée ! Tu sais bien qu'elle est allergique aux noix, et tu as fait exprès de lui donner un gâteau aux amandes pour l'étouffer ! Tu ne sais pas que cela pourrait endommager sa louve de façon fatale ? Tu dois rester ici et réfléchir à ce que tu as fait ! » L'Alpha Kelvin, le second, et l'Alpha Karl, le troisième, se moquent, « quelle louve pitoyable que tu es ! Tu trouves encore des excuses au lieu d'avouer la vérité. Reste ici et souffre autant que tu le mérites ! » Après ça, ils se transforment et amènent leur petite Elsa tremblante à l'infirmerie des loups. Pendant ce temps, j'arrive à peine à respirer à cause de l'air empli de poussière d'argent. Ma louve hurle dans l'agonie, mais c'est inutile. Alors je meurs dans cet endroit. C'est seulement trois jours plus tard, après qu'ils aient ramené Elsa de l'infirmerie, que mon existence traverse à nouveau leurs esprits. Mais ils ne savent pas que je suis déjà morte dans ce cellier remplit de poussière d'argent.

I was trapped in a sea filled with icebergs, clinging to life alongside Elsa —the sweetheart of my mate, Alpha Luke, and her son. After a long hesitation, Luke chose to save me, the one carrying his unborn twins. After he brought me to shore, there wasn’t enough time for him to go back for Elsa. All he could do was watch her drift away, swallowed by the freezing waves, until she disappeared from sight. He never forgave me for it. He said I delayed him—that if not for me, he could have saved her. For five long years, he hated me. He wouldn't even let my twin pups call him “father.” Then came the day the witch brewed a time machine that could turn back time. Luke gave up everything—his title, his pride, even his sons—just for the chance to go back. “Aria,” he said before leaving, “did you really think I saved you because I cared? If I hadn’t saved you first, the whole pack would’ve blamed Elsa. That’s the only reason.” After he was gone, his mother looked at me with eyes full of disdain. “This is all your fault,” she said. “If Luke had saved Elsa first, he might’ve been happy now.” Even my own children resented me. “You're the reason Father hates us,” they said. “You're the one who killed Elsa. Why couldn’t it have been you who died that day?” Despised by everyone, I drank the potion without a second thought. This time, I would go back. This time, I would save myself. And I would owe Luke nothing.

Cassidy never imagined her world would collapse on an ordinary Tuesday afternoon. She came home early—just ten minutes early—because she forgot her sketchbook. Ten minutes. That was all it took to destroy everything. Because when she opened her bedroom door, she didn’t just catch her boyfriend cheating. She caught him with her mother. The betrayal hit harder than any heartbreak she’d ever read about in her romance novels. Humiliated, shaking, and unable to breathe, Cassidy did the only thing she could—she ran. Straight into the neon haze of the city’s wildest nightclub. She didn’t plan on drinking. She didn’t plan on dancing. And she definitely didn’t plan on meeting him. Dante Ashford. The dangerously handsome billionaire heir with a voice like velvet and a stare that feels like sin. He didn’t ask if she was okay—he asked her name like he was already claiming it. He touched her like he had every right. He kissed her like he’d been waiting for her his whole damn life. One shot turned into two. Her pain turned into recklessness. And one devastating night turned into the hottest mistake of her life. A one-night stand with a man whose name she never learned. Cassidy thought that would be the end of it. Just a secret she’d take to the grave. Until her mother announced she was getting married. And Cassidy came face-to-face with her new “family.” Dante—the stranger who’d had her pinned to silk sheets, whispering sinful things in her ear—is now her stepbrother. Worse? He remembers everything. Every kiss. Every moan. Every broken piece of her she tried to forget. And Dante isn’t the type of man who lets go. Not of the past. Not of secrets. And definitely not of her.

My mate, Alpha Alex, had a wolf cursed at birth by a witch—unable to catch the scent of any she-wolf, doomed never to find his true mate. He spent five long years searching for her, only to be met with nothing but disappointment. In the end, broken and exhausted, he gave up. That was when he claimed me. On the night of our bonding, he told me the truth. "Fiona," he said quietly, "I had no choice. If the pack knew their Alpha couldn't even find his true mate, I'd become a disgrace in their eyes. So I chose you. You are my selected mate—but I swear, no one will ever take your title. You are my Luna. Even if I one day find my true mate… that will never change." But then he added, his voice distant and heavy: "Even though I'm cursed… I must still try to find her. I need to search every corner of the pack." From that night onward, she-wolves began appearing at our den one after another—every day, without fail. Some were shy, some bold. Some came bearing gifts, others with longing in their eyes. But all of them came for one reason: to see if they were his mate. And I? I could only watch in silence—his Luna in name, but never truly in heart. Because I knew there was nothing I could do to change his behavior. I had lost count of how many times I cried and begged him to stop—but still, every night, he brought different young she-wolves into our den. I once thought he'd eventually grow tired of it, that he would stop one day. Until he brought home three young she-wolves from the werewolf club. He paid far more than other alphas for their first night. Why? Because a witch told him that only sharing a night with more than two virgin she-wolves from the same bloodline could awaken his wolf's dormant sense—and help him find his true mate. I let out a bitter smile because what he didn't know was— The true mate he had searched for all these years… was me. But I would never return to him again. And by the time he finally found out the truth— It was already too late.

"I...Is he my son?" He asked in shock when he saw my son Aldo standing beside me, and I tried to hide Aldo behind my body protectively, scared that now he might take my son from me when he finds out that he is his son, and all this time I have been keeping it a secret. "No! He is not." I lied, trying to sound confident, but I knew I was failing miserably as my forehead was sweaty and my tone was trembling. "Shut up, Sab. Don't lie to me, because you clearly mentioned that the only man who has been inside of you is me. And, even if you lie, no one is going to believe that this boy isn't my son because he looks just like me. Now, the question is, Why did you keep him away from me all this time? Why?!" he barked out the last sentence in anger, making me flinch and Aldo cry out of fear from this man. The Ruthless Italian Tycoon that I had one night stand with and ended up pregnant with his secret heir.

"I told you, Bella Mia. I don't want money. It's not about money, it never was. It's about getting you tied to me forever because what's the better way to take my revenge on you than making you marry me since I am the last person you want to be with and hate me to the core." he said cupping her face and bringing it close to his lips. " I will never marry you," she snaps in pure anger. "I hate you so much, Dante Matthews. I will die but never marry you." " We will see about that because if you don't then you can say goodbye to your father's company and all his hard work. I am sure you won't want that, right?" he asked with an arrogant smirk, " I am going to ruin you, Gabriella Harrison." " Why do you want to marry me? Are you still in love with me?" she asked, confused. "Love? I hate the word love coming out of your mouth. I began to hate you with every fibre in my being when you stood me up at the altar on our wedding day in the past. This marriage is purely going to be a marriage of hatred and revenge. You have got three hours to make the decision, or you can say goodbye to everything." he threatened and left. Dante hates Gabriella with every fibre of his being because she stood him up at the altar back in the past because he was poor. He loved her so much, but she broke her heart. Now he is back for his revenge on her and plans to get her married to him. But will this marriage be a marriage of love, hatred or revenge? What is going to happen when heartbreaking secrets are revealed?

What do you do when the mate you love gets another she-wolf pregnant after a drunken night? This is my new reality. In the face of this, he firmly said, "Keep the pup, and we can still go back to how things were." I could not believe my ears. Shaking my head, I asked him to choose. "Between me and the pup, who do you choose?" I said to him. All I got was silence. His blank face broke me. I could not believe he couldn’t answer. But his silence was enough of an answer for me. So I left, and he regretted it.
