Drum Island Arc

Harold missed our fifth anniversary. He said Rogues had attacked the border, and as the Alpha, he had to fight to protect the pack. However, the she-wolf who came to fetch him was dressed in a tight little dress and heels—she looked more ready for a date than a battle. Worried for Harold, I went to the Moon Goddess's altar to pray for his safety, like I always do whenever he's called to fight. However, on the way, a witch told me there was no war at the border at all. He lied to me. At that moment, I knew it was time to walk away. "I want to break my mate bond with Harold," I said. She turned the pages of an old, dusty spellbook. "Harold won't accept this. He was even willing to give up his claim to the Alpha title just to be with you." "I don't need his permission," I said. "I'm willing to pay any price." She sighed. "If your heart is truly set on leaving, I can brew a potion for you. One sip, and your scent will vanish from the pack's memory—as if you never existed. "However, think carefully. You'll lose your title as Luna, leave behind your home, your people. You'll start over somewhere new, where no one knows your name. Not even the Moon Goddess will be able to find you." I said, "I've made up my mind, I refuse to stay in a love built on lies. "How soon can I have the potion?" "Three days." Three days. Just enough time to say goodbye to everything I once called home.

He was tricked into the Lone Wolf’s den and fell into a silver trap. The trap was filled with countless silver nails that burned into his wounds. He had a chance to survive—even if he would lose his Inner Wolf, at least his life could be saved, as long as he could be treated by the healer. But my Alpha husband, Anthony, the noble leader of the wolf pack, took the only healer away, giving him to his white moonlight son, Lucas, to treat his wounds. Meanwhile, our son, in the treatment room next door, could not heal from the silver-inflicted wounds. His blood flowed continuously until his golden wolf eyes lost all their light. I mentally reached out to Anthony, begging him to let me see our son one last time, but in the eyes of that high-and-mighty Alpha, there was nothing but disgust for our child. "Your son is truly ‘exceptional’—weak like a pup, yet he dared to enter the Lone Wolf’s den!" "Lucas nearly got pierced by a silver blade trying to save him! And what did your son do? He ran away without a second thought!" "I will not acknowledge such a cowardly bloodline! From this day on, his right to inherit is revoked!" After he spoke, he severed the mental link. My blood froze in my veins. In that moment, my dying cub shared his memories with me— I saw Lucas drive the silver nails into his own palm. I saw him turn and flee when the Lone Wolf attacked, while my child, despite trembling in pain, chose to fight the Lone Wolf to protect the pack. Until the very end, he fulfilled the duty of an Alpha’s son. And Anthony dares to say he is unworthy of the “Alpha bloodline”? That night, the moonlight over the wolf territory turned crimson. Anthony, you will soon realize— It wasn’t just my son’s flesh that was pierced by silver, but your prejudice as well! Your prejudice killed your own child.

Di hari pernikahan, tunanganku malah kabur dan menikahi adikku. Di tengah rasa malu di depan semua orang, tiba-tiba William berlutut di hadapanku, meminta aku menikah dengannya. Di kota ini, tak ada yang tidak mengenal William, bujangan emas yang terkenal, idaman semua wanita lajang. Namun, justru dia yang memakaikan cincin di jariku dan menyatakan cinta, “Aku selalu mencintaimu diam-diam. Terima kasih pada takdir karena memberiku kesempatan untuk menghabiskan sisa hidupku bersamamu.” Kami pun menikah. Dia selalu memperlakukanku dengan sangat baik dan semua orang tahu bahwa William tidak akan mencintai siapapun selain aku. Hingga di tahun ketujuh pernikahan kami, aku tak sengaja masuk ke studio lukisnya. Di sana, ada ribuan lukisan Ivy, adikku. Setiap lukisan itu bagaikan pernyataan cinta yang lembut darinya untuk Ivy. Pria yang kucintai itu bahkan pernah berdoa dengan sungguh-sungguh: asal Ivy bisa bahagia, aku rela mengorbankan segalanya, termasuk nyawaku. Ternyata cinta selama tujuh tahun hanya sebuah kebohongan. Sejak awal, yang dia cintai hanyalah Ivy. Kalau begitu, biar akulah yang mundur. Tiga hari kemudian, aku pun pergi. Aku hanya mendoakan William dan Ivy hidup bahagia hingga tua nanti.

My fiancé leaves me jilted on our wedding day and marries my sister. As I stand there, feeling humiliated, William Sterling gets on one knee before me and asks me to marry him. Everyone in my city knows of him—he's an elite bachelor and every woman's dream. Yet now, he slips a wedding band onto my ring finger and confesses his love for me. "I've always loved you, and I thank the heavens for giving me the chance to spend my life with you." We get married, and he treats me well. Everyone knows that he won't fall for anyone other than me. Everything changes when I accidentally enter his studio in the seventh year of our marriage. I see that he's painted thousands of portraits of my sister, Ivy Winslow. Each one is a tender confession of his love for her. The man I love with all my heart earnestly prays to the heavens and utters his wish. He's willing to sacrifice anything for Ivy to be happy, including his life. It turns out what I thought was seven years of love was nothing but a lie. Ivy is the one he's loved all along. If that's the case, I'll back out. I'll leave in three days, and I hope he and Ivy can be happy together.

Le jour du mariage, mon fiancé a fui et a épousé ma petite sœur. Au mariage, alors que j'étais gênée, Guillaume s'est mis à genoux et m'a demandé de l'épouser. Dans ma ville, tout le monde connaissait Guillaume - un célibataire d'or, le rêve de toutes les femmes célibataires. Pourtant, il a passé la bague à mon annulaire et m'a avoué : « Je t'ai toujours aimée en secret. Merci à Dieu de me donner cette chance de passer le reste de ma vie avec toi. » Nous nous sommes mariés. Il était toujours bon avec moi, et tout le monde savait que Guillaume ne tomberait jamais amoureux d'une autre personne que moi. Jusqu'à ce que, sept ans plus tard, je découvre par hasard son atelier. Il avait peint des milliers de portraits d'Inès, ma sœur. Chaque tableau était une déclaration d'amour pour Inès. L'homme que j'aimais priait Dieu avec ferveur : « Tant qu'Inès reste heureuse, je sacrifierais tout, y compris ma vie. » Sept ans d'amour n'étaient qu'un mensonge. Inès était toujours celle qu'il aimait. Alors, je me retirais. Dans trois jours, je partirais. Je leur souhaitait, à lui et à Inès, un bonheur éternel.

Beberapa dongeng mempunyai akhir bahagia, beberapa lagi memiliki akhir yang tragis, tapi ada juga beberapa dongeng yang tidak pernah benar-benar tamat. Sebut saja kisah seorang putra mahkota yang tidak pernah dinobatkan menjadi raja, seorang adik yang mengejar balas dendam semu, seorang putri teratai yang tidak pernah menjadi bunga teratai, atau kisah kakak beradik yang dibuang tanpa remah roti. Sekian lama luntang-lantung tanpa ada kepastian, dongeng-dongeng tersebut tanpa sengaja bersatu demi mencapai tujuan yang sama. Berada dalam satu kubu yang sama. Serta berjuang melawan musuh yang sama. Rebutlah akhir bahagia itu, karena kegelapan tidak pantas mendapatkannya.

Some fairy tales have happy endings, some have tragic ones, but there are also some fairy tales that never really end. Let's say, the story of a crown prince who was never crowned, a younger brother who pursued pseudo revenge, a lotus princess who never became a lotus flower, or the story of siblings who were banished without breadcrumbs. For a long time hanging around without any certainty, the tales accidentally unite to achieve the same goal. Being in the same side. Fight against the same enemy. Seize the happy ending, because the darkness doesn't deserve it.
