When Alexander Smith stands in front of me and says he's going to marry someone else, that's when I realize he's been reborn too. I remember our 20 years of love in our past life. A plane crash. And then, rebirth. "This is to save Sophia," he says. "In our past life, she was sold to a Vostmark oligarch after her father's political scandal. Not long after, she took her own life due to abuse. I can't let that tragedy happen again, so I need to get engaged to her." As he speaks, he hands me an orange prescription bottle. "If you take this, you'll forget me for a little while. You won't feel the pain. It's just seven days. Once her father's scandal blows over, you'll stop the medication and your memory will return. Then I'll end the engagement and officially propose to you." I stare at the bottle, knowing it's a lie. Not the part about Sophia's suicide. The lie is about the drug. He thinks it only causes temporary memory loss. But I know better. The suppressant causes permanent damage to emotional memory. The seven-day countdown isn't the time it takes for my memories to return. It's the time it takes for my love for him to die.

He was the enemy I was forced to marry. I was the girl raised to destroy him. I was supposed to live a quiet life. Graduate, find a job, stay far away from the shadows of my mother’s past. But then I was taken. Now I’m Mrs. Valerio. Matteo Valerio is cold, dangerous, and untouchable. The heir to a brutal mafia empire built on secrets and blood. He makes it clear: this marriage isn’t love. It’s power. It’s politics. It’s survival. But I didn’t agree to this just to be a pawn. I want answers. About my father’s murder, about the threats still chasing me, about who I really am beneath the name I grew up with. And the closer I get to the truth, the more tangled I become with Matteo himself. Because behind the monster is a man with haunted eyes and a soul that’s been at war for too long. And behind my rage is a heart that was never supposed to feel anything for him. But the past is catching up. Betrayals are rising. And falling in love with your enemy? That’s the most dangerous vow of all.

« Suzanne, tu n'as pas le sang pur et ne mérites pas d'être la Luna. Tu dois faire en sorte qu'Eugène marque ta belle-sœur ! » Étant une louve Oméga au sang impur, ma belle-mère, Pauline, me méprisait. Eugène était mon mate. Le jour où son frère est décédé dans un accident, Pauline lui a exigé qu'il conçoive un enfant avec Karine, sa belle-sœur noble, sous peine de le priver de son titre d'Alpha. Eugène m'a prise dans ses bras et m'a rassurée d'une voix douce : « Je n'ai d'yeux que pour toi, mais la meute ne peut pas se passer d'un Alpha. Une fois tout ceci terminé, je proclamerai que tu es ma vraie Luna, d'accord ? » Je l'aimais tellement que j'ai cru à ses paroles. Mais voilà… Eugène, qui ne partageait le lit de Karine qu'une nuit par mois, a fini par ne plus venir me voir qu'une fois par mois. Alors, j'ai compris, le cœur brisé, qu'il n'était plus le compagnon qui m'appartenait exclusivement. Le jour où Karine a annoncé qu'elle était enceinte, la nouvelle de son mariage avec Eugène s'est répandue dans tout la meute, mais elle me l'avait cachée. En voyant la bague éclatante sur le doigt de Karine, celle qui appartenait à la Luna de la meute, j'avais le cœur brisé en mille morceaux. Une douleur insupportable m'a pris à la gorge. Eugène, si c'était ce que tu voulais, alors je feindrais ma mort et partirais pour ne jamais revenir.

The college student I had a passionate night with at the hotel turned out to be the intern I was supposed to mentor. On his first day at the company, he pulled me into the break room and wrapped his arms around my waist. "You have such a slender waist. That night, I never expected you to be that fervent..."

Christmas was just around the corner, and the head of the company asked us to choose between a bonus and a Christmas gift box for chocolate. I was not much of a sweets person, so I was the first to vote for the bonus. The intern collecting the votes immediately called me out by name in the team chat. "Ella, Christmas is supposed to be about the holiday spirit. Isn't choosing the bonus a bit materialistic?" Even the department manager tagged me. "Ella, the company values team spirit more than anything." In the end, everyone else picked the gift boxes. I was the only one who did not. When the Christmas party arrived, the intern had bought gift boxes filled entirely with nut chocolate. She knew I was allergic to nuts, yet she forced me to try some in front of everyone to show my team spirit. "Ella, this was bought with everyone's bonus money. You cannot just refuse, can you?" The next moment, I was struggling to breathe and a rash spread across my body. The intern looked at me with pure disgust. "Seriously, Ella, do you have to ruin the mood when everyone else is having fun?" I frantically searched my bag for my allergy medicine, but all I could find were a few pieces of chocolate. Seeing me in such a state, the intern laughed. "Medicine is only one part of it. You need more sweets anyway. I swapped your medicine for the chocolate in the gift box." My breathing was getting worse by the second. I quickly grabbed my phone and texted the CEO. [Dad, I'm having an allergic reaction. I'm at the…]

La vie m'avait appris à me cacher. À 20 ans, je pesais 130 kilos et les regards des autres m'avaient convaincue que j'étais invisible. Mais tout cela a changé le jour où j'ai croisé le regard de monsieur Thompson, mon professeur de sport. Ses yeux ne voyaient pas mon poids mais mon âme. Et dans les bras de cet homme, j'ai découvert que l'amour n'avait pas de limite de poids, ni de temps. À présent tous les garçons de l'université courent après moi. Quand je marche, je vole des cœurs.
