Nang malaman niyang papatayin siya ng kontrabida, si Duke Raziel, sa edad na 22, ginagawa niya ang lahat para maiwasan ito! Lumapit siya sa kontrabida at nalaman ang sikreto nito, na naging dahilan upang imungkahi niya sa kanya ang isang kontrata ng kasal kapag natuklasan niya ang katotohanan tungkol sa aktwal na katangian ng lalaking lead.

It’s up to Vienna na pigilan ang mga pagkalason, pagbabanta sa kamatayan, pagkakanulo, at pagpatay na mangyari bilang resulta ng aklat. "Mas mabuting magmahal ng kontrabida dahil alam naming gagawin niya ang lahat para sa iyo. Ang bida, sa kabilang banda, ay handang isuko ang iyong buhay para sa ikabubuti ng lahat.”

Je suis revenue à la vie, le jour où ma sœur et moi devions choisir nos maris, et j'ai découvert que je pouvais entendre les pensées des autres. J'ai entendu ma sœur dire : « Cette fois, je vais absolument me dépêcher de décrocher le bon mari. » Puis, elle a précipitamment emmené celui qui avait été mon mari doux et attentionné dans ma vie précédente. Et elle m'a laissé l'homme violent qui la battait chaque jour dans notre vie passée. J'ai souri. Elle croyait vraiment que l'homme que j'avais épousé autrefois était si vertueux ?

Alpha Sébastien me détestait plus que tout, moi, sa compagne destinée. Juste parce que je n'étais qu'une humaine, une créature inutile sans griffes. Son cœur appartenait entièrement à son amie d'enfance Jeanne. Il m'a détestée pendant dix ans après la mort accidentelle de Jeanne. Mais quand une bombe d'une meute ennemie a explosé devant notre grotte, il m'a sauvée. Avant de mourir, il a reposé dans mes bras, couvert de sang, et a repoussé ma main tremblante avec ses dernières forces. « Hélène, si la Déesse de la Lune ne nous avait pas fait rencontrer... » Lors des funérailles, l'ancienne Luna, la mère de Sébastien, m'a serrée par le col et a sangloté de façon incontrôlable. « Sébastien, tout est de ma faute. Je n'aurais pas dû te forcer à accepter cette humaine. Est-ce que tout cela serait arrivé aujourd'hui si je t'avais soutenu dans ton choix de Jeanne ? » Je n'ai pas répondu, car elle avait raison. Après avoir été traînée hors de ces funérailles, je suis montée seule à la Crête de la Chute du Ciel, un terrain sacré pour la meute, et j'ai sauté. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, je me retrouvait transportée au jour où la Déesse de la lune m'a désignée comme la compagne de Sébastien. Cette fois, j'ai décidé de rompre tous liens avec Sébastien et de donner à tout le monde ce qu'ils voulaient vraiment.

Toda véspera de Natal, o herdeiro da família mafiosa Marco, Adrian Marco, deve seguir a tradição da família: sortear um nome para decidir se pode se casar comigo ou não. Porque eu, Irene Cast, não nasci na máfia. A menos que ele tire o papel com o meu nome, ele não pode me tomar como esposa. Por quatro anos, Adrian sorteou quatro vezes. E nenhuma vez saiu o meu nome. Sempre acreditei que ele brigava com a família por minha causa, que estava disposto a arriscar perder o posto de Don só para me escolher. Toda vez que falhava, ele me abraçava com força e sussurrava: – Tudo bem. Sempre tem o ano que vem. E eu o amava tanto que doía. Doía a ponto de eu aceitar esperar, ano após ano. Este ano, eu disse a mim mesma: Se ele ainda não tirar meu nome… vou trocar o resultado em segredo. Cheguei de mansinho à porta do escritório de Adrian e ouvi seu irmão mais novo perguntar: – Don… todo ano você tira o nome da Irene. Por que finge que não saiu? É porque você ainda não conseguiu deixar a Sera ir? E ele apenas respondeu, com a voz fria: – A Sera precisa de mim para algo urgente. Faça como sempre: troque o nome da Irene por um papel em branco. Ele saiu sem olhar para trás. Em vez de trocar, o irmão jogou o papel em branco no lixo, deixou o papel com meu nome sobre a mesa e saiu apressado atrás de Adrian. Entrei no escritório, peguei o papel em branco do lixo e substituí pelo que tinha meu nome. Observei meu próprio nome cair na lixeira. Adrian… eu não quero mais esperar e casar com você. Vou te conceder a sua escolha.

Un par de días antes del Año Nuevo, Diego —mi novio— decidió irse a la playa con su asistente. Yo no dije nada. No lloré, no grité, no hice escándalo. Incluso lo ayudé a empacar, con todo el cariño del mundo. ¿Y él qué hizo? Se burló. Me dijo que, ahora que estaba embarazada, por fin había aprendido a comportarme. Apenas se fue, me fui directo a abortar. En mi vida pasada, había intentado retenerlo con ese bebé. Y lo había logrado: él no se había marchado. Al final, su asistente había ido sola a la playa, y ahí la habían matado de una forma brutal. Diego siempre fingía que nada le afectaba. Siempre con esa cara tranquila, como si todo le diera igual. Pero, cuando estaba a punto de dar a luz, fue él quien me abrió el vientre con sus propias manos. Apretó con fuerza… hasta que asesinó a mi hijo. Y fue en ese momento cuando lo entendí todo: siempre me había despreciado, y desde la muerte de aquella mujer… me odiaba sin medida. Por eso, ahora, que había vuelto a nacer, pensaba dejarlo sin nada.
