This story is about a girl trying to save herself from all the things that's weighing her down. From the brokenness and the pain and all the depression and anxiety. This story is about striving after giving up. This would tell a tale about having hope in the middle of nothingness and seeing light amidst the darkness. A journey of death trying to find life.

Cela fait neuf ans que Dante et moi respectons le Mois sans maître. L’héritier désigné de la famille Corinni est convaincu que cela permettra à notre relation de durer plus longtemps. Chaque année, pendant le mois qui suit l’anniversaire de notre relation, il est libre, et nous restons hors de la vie l’un de l’autre. Si l’un de nous trouve quelqu’un de plus approprié, nous sommes censés lui souhaiter le meilleur. Sinon, au bout d’un mois, nous reprenons simplement les choses là où elles en étaient. Autour de moi, les hommes de la Famille font gicler le champagne sans la moindre retenue. « À une nouvelle année de liberté ! Félicitations à notre Boss, qui retrouve son statut de célibataire ! » « Les paris de la Famille sont ouverts ! Misez à gauche si vous pensez qu’ils finiront quand même mariés, et à droite si vous pensez que c’est terminé pour de bon ! » À travers le voile trouble de fumée de cigare, j’étais assise dans un coin du canapé en cuir, observatrice glaciale, comme si toute cette farce n’avait absolument rien à voir avec moi. La main de Dante enserrait la taille de Scarlett quand il m’a frôlée en murmurant : « Ne te fais pas d’idées. Tu resteras toujours ma seule Donna. Tu es comme un cerf-volant. Peu importe jusqu’où tu t’envoles, la ficelle reste toujours dans ma main. » J’ai posé mes doigts glacés contre le léger arrondi de mon ventre, le visage vide de toute expression. Dante, cette fois, à la table des paris de la Famille, je mise sur « la fin ». Je vais disparaître complètement de ton monde. Cette ficelle de cerf-volant dont tu es si fier ? Ce soir, c’est moi qui vais la couper.

Christiana Haven attends the Moon Calling of her pack’s future Alpha with curiosity and a gossipy hope of witnessing destiny unfold—for someone else. She expects to leave knowing the name of the next Luna. Instead, fate names her. Before the Moon Goddess, the shaman, and the entire Celestial Moon pack, Christy’s wolf hears the Moon's call and claims Alpha Alec as her mate. Tradition demands he answer in return. He doesn’t. Alec’s public rejection brands Christy as delusional, turning her life in the pack into a quiet ritual of humiliation. Choosing survival over shame, she leaves and finds peace in the human town of Oslow, where love comes not from fate, but from choice, in the form of Rowan Hale. But mate bonds do not forgive defiance. When Alec’s bond awakens at last, fierce and incomplete, it drags him back into Christy’s life, demanding resolution. Only this time, the choice is hers.

“I will never love you,” Anthony said with a determined look. However, the girl didn't care about his words. Regina still repaired a table full of beautiful dishes. Then, she took some food and put it in his mouth. His whole body relaxed and savored the satisfying sensation in his mouth. “I know. But can we enjoy the meal first? I have made your favorite food,” Regina blinked her moving eyes which made Anthony's heart a little unbearable. He gulped and sat down on the chair. “I love your food, not you,” Anthony began to take the meal while he was maintaining his harsh expression. Regina secretly smiled but she knew he wouldn't run away from her. ------------------------------------- Regina lived two human lives. In her first life, her family sold her to Anthony, the head of the Dominic mafia family. Regina and Anthony tormented each other until he accepted to let go of her hand. The good life was disrupted by the adultery and deception of her sister and her husband. Anthony was always waiting for Regina to return, but she ended up dying in his arms while taking the bullet for him. Reviving at the age of 17, Regina decided to change everything and accept being with Anthony. However, Anthony seemed to avoid Regina causing her to actively pursue him.

It was the night before my best mate’s wedding—his bachelor party, we made a deal to get blind drunk, but I arrived late. When I opened the door, I was not met with cheers, but with three corpses stalled in motion. My body went limp as my mind went blank. The only thought left in my head was that I had to call the police. “I’m calling from Block 3, Unit 301 of Silkwood Gardens. My three friends are all dead!” On the other end of the line, a female police officer responded calmly, “Please stay calm and don’t touch anything. Keep the crime scene untouched. A team will arrive shortly.” This should have been a night of wild debauchery, but I was the only one left alive. I slowly ducked my head and smiled.

When I was seven years old, my father began subjecting me to extremely strict parenting. Not only did he withhold any support for my food, clothing, housing, or daily necessities, but he even charged me for drinking water in our own home. As a child, I endured relentless suffering and bullying. When I was critically injured by a vehicle that broke the law, I was severely injured, and my father refused to save me. Only after my death did I learn the truth that he already had a son somewhere out there. Everything he did to me was meant to drive me to my death. After rebirth, I no longer adhered to rules nor endured silently. Exploiting the fact that I was still a minor, I stabbed his secretary, bullied my classmates at school, and even set a fire on campus to force my father to give up on his brutal methods. When I grew up, I took everything he owned and sent him to prison. Only then was my revenge completed.

Our family is planning a ski trip at a luxury resort. However, my mother gives my snow-view room to my adoptive sister and makes me, her biological daughter, stay in the storage room. I'm about to protest when my father and brother accuse me of being selfish. "We've always given Madie the best of everything; she won't be able to sleep in any other room." "Madie is our family—she's the one who's lived with us this whole time. We're a family, so we have to stay together." I'm the one who shares their blood, yet they consider me an outsider. If that's the case, they can go on vacation without me. I board a cruise and travel the world for a month without ever going home. That's when they panic.
