My mate is the bravest patrol chief of the Sundara Pack. When the rogue straps a bomb laced with wolfsbane to me, I try to reach him through our mind-link. Once, twice... He blocks me 99 times. The rogue forces me to call for help, and when Aiden Campbell finally answers, his first words come blazing with anger. "Lina Rutherford! You're risking your life over jealousy again? Kate's pet snow wolf has been stuck in a tree for three days! "She loves that wolf like her own child—if I'm late to save it, that's on you! You'll be a murderer!" I laugh so hard that tears stream down my face. That so-called "trapped" snow wolf? It's simply climbed onto a slanted pine tree in the yard so it can lazily sunbathe on the branches. No one trapped it—it just doesn't feel like coming down. "Thank you, Aiden. You're amazing!" There comes a soft, delicate voice through the phone. It's Kate Summers—Aiden's late brother's widow and also his childhood sweetheart. The bomb's countdown ticks down to three minutes. With a calm heart, I send my final message. "In the name of the Moon Goddess, I sever our mate bond." And then, I cut the mind-link.

I discovered my Alpha mate Ethan's secret. The ring he gave me on our wedding day was actually used to track and monitor me. But I didn't cry. I pretended my eyes hadn't healed, and witnessed firsthand how Ethan and his mistress clung to each other, entangled in affection. Ethan's voice was low and husky: "Let's be quick. Selene usually wakes up after an hour of rest." The mistress covered her mouth and giggled softly: "She's just a blind wolf. What does it matter if she wakes up? As long as we don't make any noise." Hearing this, Ethan glared at her in warning. "Even though Selene has lost her sight, she's still the person I love most, and she's my bottom line. If you disrespect Selene again, whatever is between us ends right here." But what he didn't know was that my blindness had been cured. I could see everything clearly now. After getting out of bed, I wiped away my tears and made a phone call. "Tell the Alpha of the Shadow Pack that I'm willing to become their Chief Healer."

Le jour où je suis tombée enceinte à nouveau, Antoine a décidé de ne plus jouer de l'argent et de travailler dur pour subvenir à nos besoins. J'étais tellement émue que j'ai fondu en larmes et, d'une main tremblante, je lui ai donné tout l'argent que j'avais économisé en travaillant des petits boulots pendant un an. Deux billets sont tombés par terre. Je les ai ramassés et j'ai suivi Antoine dehors. Mais au bout de la ruelle, j'ai vu les hommes de la mafia, ceux qui étaient venus nous harceler pour les dettes, s'incliner devant Antoine avec respect. Il s'est avéré que sa pauvreté n'était qu'une comédie. « Chef, est-ce qu'on doit encore venir faire semblant de vous menacer demain ? » Antoine, assis à l'arrière d'une voiture, a répondu avec nonchalance : « Non, ce ne sera plus nécessaire. » Il a regardé la bague à son doigt et a soupiré doucement. « Toutes ces années ont prouvé que son amour était sincère. La dernière fois, pour payer mes dettes, elle travaillait comme une folle et a fait une fausse couche à cause du surmenage. » « Je lui ai déjà fait assez de mal. Il est temps de lui dire ma véritable identité pour qu'elle n'ait pas à travailler si dur. » Mais à son côté, son amie d'enfance Yvette a fait la moue : « Non, ce n'est pas encore le moment de révéler la vérité ! Et si elle était comme les autres femmes, ne s'intéressait qu'à ton argent et à ton statut de chef de la mafia ? » « Attendons de voir si elle veut donner naissance à ce bébé. » Antoine a réfléchi un instant avant d'acquiescer : « D'accord. De toute façon, elle est déjà avec moi depuis si longtemps, elle ne me quittera pas. » En serrant inconsciemment les billets dans ma main, je me suis retournée et les larmes ont coulé. Antoine, cet amour rempli de mensonges, je n'en voulais plus !

My mother fell critically ill and was rushed to the hospital. Desperate, I knelt before my fiancé—the department's chief surgeon—and begged him to take charge of her operation. But outside the ICU, he was carefully tending to a scraped knee. Lucy Wendell's scraped knee, to be exact. Just as I was drowning in hopelessness, Cameron Mitchell—the hospital director and my childhood friend—pushed open the operating room doors and handed me a marriage proposal. "Marry me, and I'll personally perform your mother's surgery." With trembling hands, I signed my name, clinging to the last shred of hope that she could be saved. But she never made it through that stormy night. Cameron handled all the funeral arrangements himself, and our wedding proceeded as scheduled. Seven years later, in the hushed silence of the hospital archives, I overheard Cameron speaking with the deputy director. "Cameron, why did you transfer your mother-in-law's organ to Lucy's mother during that surgery? Weren't you afraid of getting caught?" "I owed Lucy," he replied. "If I hadn't hesitated back then, Lucy never would've chosen medical aid work in Africa… and her mother wouldn't have fallen ill from the grief."

I plan a family trip at my mother Lucia Sweeney's request. While avoiding the danger zones, my sister Linda Harper and I are ambushed by rogues. To protect her, I throw myself in the path of their claws and get driven into a silver mine. As I fall, my back is slashed open to the bone, and shards of silver embed deep into my right leg. The searing silver poison spreads quickly, burning through me and my wolf. My wolf is whimpering—she's close to death. However, as the pack's chief healer, Mom gathers all the healers around Linda to give her a full check-up over a few minor scrapes. I sob and beg her to save me first. "Mom, the poison has almost reached my heart. I can't hold on anymore." She turns around impatiently and yells, "Are you seriously still fighting with Linda now? Do you have any idea how close she came to getting clawed in the face by a silver claw? Our pack doesn't have a wolf as heartless as you!" And in that moment, I hear my wolf's final whimper, saying goodbye. I finally fall asleep in the cold wind, never waking up again.
