And the most dangerous part? She didn’t know how to escape from her cruel fate.

In the hunting ground, my mate, Liam Graham, abandons me while I am pregnant and severely injured from a beast attack. He rushes off carrying Beta Eva Monroe, who only has a scratch on her palm. I cry out for him to stay, but he says Eva needs medical attention more than I do. As blood pours between my legs, I anxiously swallow the prenatal pills Liam gave me. But in the next second, my child is gone forever. It turns out the pills are not meant to protect my baby but a slow-acting poison that kills it. At that moment, Eva proudly sends me a message. "Being his Beta means I get the Alpha's care anytime I want." Feeling my body grow weaker from the miscarriage, I glance one last time at the baby, who has become a pool of blood. At that moment, I want nothing more. At night, I reach out to my father through a mind link. "Dad, I agree to become the heir of the Howl of the Moon Pack."

My adopted daughter, Phoebe Marsh, possessed an evil ability. Whenever she got hurt, the pain would also be inflicted directly on my biological daughter, Maisie Shaw. She deliberately hurt herself, covering her body with wounds and bruises. Then, she would turn around with cold eyes, watching Maisie writhe on the floor in agony until she passed out from the pain. With no medical solution available, I broke down and held Maisie close, begging my husband, Brandon Shaw, to send Phoebe away. However, he would erupt in fury. "It's obviously Maisie who's been faking illness for attention, and you're making up this ridiculous story to get rid of Phoebe. She's just a fragile, helpless child. How can you be so vicious?" After that, Phoebe escalated her self-harm even more viciously. Meanwhile, Maisie spent every day curled up in the corner of her bed, refusing to let anyone touch her. On Maisie's birthday, Phoebe threw herself from the fifth floor. Just as Maisie was blowing out her candles and making a wish, she suddenly began bleeding from all her facial orifices, and she died instantly. Yet, Phoebe only suffered minor scrapes. I died from overwhelming grief shortly after. When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to Phoebe's first day in our home. Maisie was playing with her Legos when she suddenly clutched her ankle and started crying. This time, I grabbed the broom from behind the door and swung it toward Maisie, shouting, "I'll beat you up for faking illness and seeking attention!"

Ich war fünf Jahre lang mit Matteo verheiratet – dem Don der Familie Lamberti. Niemand wusste, dass ich seine Frau war. Ich wollte weder Privilegien noch Aufmerksamkeit und blieb deshalb im Verborgenen. Wir waren verliebt. Jeden Tag fühlte es sich an wie am Anfang. Dann zerstörte mein erster Tag im neuen Krankenhaus alles. „Frau Accardi, das glauben Sie nie.“ Eine Kollegin beugte sich zu mir, breit grinsend. „Raten Sie mal, wer der Ehemann der neuen Patientin ist? Matteo Lamberti höchstpersönlich.“ Ich erstarrte. Wenn sie seine Frau war – wer war dann ich? Sie war schwanger. Sie trug den künftigen Lamberti-Erben. Was machte das dann aus dem Baby in mir? Ich hielt die Fassade aufrecht. Ich führte die Untersuchung durch und spielte die ruhige, kompetente Ärztin. Niemand bemerkte die Panik, die an mir zerrte. Ich redete mir ein, dass es nur Klatsch war. Nichts als Lügen. Es musste so sein. Dann hörte ich, wie Matteo sie „meine Prinzessin“ nannte. Das war es. Er hatte eine neue Prinzessin. Und ich musste ihn loslassen.

Eu estava casada havia cinco anos com Matteo, o Don da família Lamberti. Ninguém sabia que eu era sua esposa. Eu não queria os privilégios. Nem os holofotes. Então permaneci invisível. Nós estávamos apaixonados. Ainda parecia que estávamos namorando todos os dias. Então meu primeiro dia no novo hospital destruiu tudo. — Dra. Accardi, você não vai acreditar nisso. — Uma colega se inclinou, sorrindo. — Adivinha quem é o marido daquela nova paciente? Matteo, o maldito Matteo Lamberti. Eu congelei. Se ela era a esposa dele… então quem era eu? Ela estava grávida. Carregando o futuro herdeiro da família Lamberti. Então o que isso fazia do bebê dentro de mim? Eu me controlei. Fiz o exame. Interpretei o papel da médica calma e competente. Ninguém viu o pânico me dilacerando por dentro. Eu disse a mim mesma que era apenas fofoca. Mentiras. Tinha que ser. Então ouvi Matteo chamá-la de "minha princesa". Aquilo foi o fim. Ele tinha uma nova "princesa". E eu precisava deixá-lo ir.
