Female Noble Six

In order to avenge Lily Bauer, an orphan staying with the Frostfang pack, Ethan Hawkins doesn't show up at the agreed time on the day of our betrothal party. He only sends his Beta to my door with a message. "Last time, you injured Lily with wolfsbane pollen, humiliating her at the pack gathering. Today is just a lesson. Apologize to Lily and send over the necklace she likes, and then we'll get betrothed." Overnight, I become the laughingstock of the entire pack. My brother, Ryan Fuller, says, "Lily just lost her parents. Let her vent her anger. Ethan is meant to be your mate anyway. Delaying your betrothal by a few days is no big deal." Really? It isn't a big deal? The Frostfang pack's ancestral token isn't something just anyone can covet. I turn around and grip the wolf-shaped crest offered by the Blackwood pack. "I accept the Blackwood pack's proposal for a mate alliance."

My show-quality service beastkin doesn't like me. He only wags his tail for my sister. I then bring home a low-grade venting beastkin. But he's now so upset that he's nearly in tears. "Layla Manfred, there can only be one hound, and that's me!"

They wanted me silent. They wanted me guilty. Camilla crashed the car, but I was asked to take the blame. For the good of the pack. For the image. And Alpha Victor of the Nightshade Pack, my supposed husband, didn’t even flinch. He stood beside her. Not me. That was the moment I realized that it was never about love. It was always about control. So I left. No tears. No warnings. I just walked away. They thought I ran to hide. But I didn’t run. I returned home, to the land that called me Princess before I even knew what it meant. Victor never asked where I came from. His pack never cared. They just assumed I was an Omega. But after seeing me at the banquet… Standing beside Prince Ethan— Now, he’s finally asking questions. But it’s too late. Because you don’t get back the woman you once asked to disappear, especially not when she’s standing beside a man who could burn your entire kingdom to the ground. Will Victor dare to cross a prince for the woman he once discarded? Can he handle the truth about who I really am? Or will the truth destroy everything he thought he controlled?

The day after my mom used 880 grand from selling our family restaurant to buy a house for my cousin, my girlfriend of five years dumped me. "Evan," Ruby Lawrence said while she sat across from me. "Let's break up." My hands trembled. "Why?" "I waited for you for five years." Her eyes welled with tears. "You said once the restaurant was sold, we'd have the down payment for a house in Seahaven. Where is it now? Where's the money?" I tried to explain, but she cut me off. "In your parents' eyes, you're not even as important as your cousin. So tell me, who's really their son? I'm 28, Evan. I can't keep waiting." She grabbed her bag and walked away without looking back. My phone buzzed. My mom sent me a photo of her and my cousin at his new house. That was followed with a voice note. She sounded joyful. "Your cousin finally achieved his biggest life goal. We can relax now." I stared at his smug smile in the photo. I laughed until tears ran down my face. I exited the 'Clark Family Forever' group chat and blocked every single relative. 'Since you all choose him, then from this moment on, your reputation or loyalty will have nothing to do with me. I only wonder if you'll think of the son you abandoned when that precious nephew of yours, who you poured all your resources into, throws you out of your own home.'

My wife, Sarah, died unexpectedly. My in-laws made an absurd request. "Why not have Stella play both roles? After all, Luke can't be without a mother." My brother-in-law, Greg, yelled at me, calling me shameless, and stormed out in anger. I looked at my sister-in-law, Stella, who looked exactly like my late wife. I could hardly conceal my grief. I was about to urge them to abandon their ridiculous idea, when I accidentally overheard a conversation between her and her parents. "It was Stella who died, so why did you lie and claim it was you?" Sarah sighed. "I love Greg. I staged my death so I could be with him legitimately. As for asking me to play both roles, don't even bring it up again. As for Michael, I have already given him a child and a respectable marriage. I owe him nothing." Turning around, I saw Luke with reddened eyes, asking me softly, "Daddy, does that mean that Mommy no longer wants us?" I bent down and pulled him into my arms, forcing myself to soothe him. "Your Aunt Stella wants to protect the person that she loves. We shouldn't bother her. It's time for us to prepare a new life."

Reign was one the most successful and popular rock artist in the world, she was a star in her own right. She worked ten times harder than her male counterparts. There was a handful of female artists who had achieved the same kind of success she has at such a young age. She was very proud of what she had accomplished in the last three years. It wasn’t easy, she was only fifteen when her manager, Mac, discovered her. She’d been touring and recording nonstop since she started three years ago. Her and her band have been together since the start of her career, they were all around the same age, but she was the youngest of the five of them. When it was decided that they would be taking at least six months off, the twin’s, Jyden and Jazlyn, parents invited Reign and the other two band members to come and spend their vacation with them. They lived in a small rural village on the coast of Scotland. It was secluded enough that security wouldn’t be a problem to arrange. Security was their specialty; they ran one of the most successful security firms in the world, Hunt Security. Six months before her 18th birthday, she became the object of a psycho stalker and her manager hired Hunt Security Company. Little did she know that the brother of her guitarist and drummer was the one who would be in charge of her private security and become more than just her bodyguard.

Alors que nous étions sur le point de partir pour le parc d'attractions, mon petit ami Bêta, Davy Carrelle, a apporté avec lui une mère et sa fille. Mais il manquait justement une place dans la voiture. Davy m'a alors demandé de descendre pour leur céder la mienne. Il a déclaré, d'un ton détaché : « Laura a du mal à s'occuper de son enfant seule. Laisse-les monter, je reviendrai te chercher plus tard. » Je suis descendue calmement, suivant des yeux le véhicule qui s'éloignait lentement de la meute. Trois heures plus tard, ils étaient bien arrivés au parc, où ils ont participé à un dîner-spectacle avec feux d'artifice. Quand mon meilleur ami a interrogé Davy sur son retard à venir me chercher, celui-ci était occupé à aider Laura à allumer un feu d'artifice. Visiblement pas pressé, il a même lâché, négligent : « Pourquoi si pressé ? Rébecca ne m'en voudra pas. Un peu de baratin, et elle oubliera sa crise. » Oui, la colère n'avait que d'effet sur ceux qui tenaient à nous... Si mon père, ma mère et mon frère s'en moquaient de moi, peu importe. Mais que Davy, lui aussi, m'ignorait à ce point… Alors, il était temps de quitter définitivement cet endroit qui ne m'apportait plus que chagrin...

J'ai su depuis mon enfance que j'étais destinée à épouser Kaden, l'héritier Alpha de la meute Pierre de Lune. En tant que seule détentrice du lignage Béni de la Lune, je suis la seule capable de briser la malédiction qui hante le lignage Alpha Pierre de Lune depuis des générations. Il y a un siècle, l'ancêtre Pierre de Lune a publiquement insulté une femme Alpha déchue lors de ses funérailles. Il s'en est moqué « Ce n'est qu'une louve. Pourquoi des funérailles aussi fastueuses ? Comment une femme pourrait-elle jamais protéger les nôtres ? Elle a probablement couché pour arriver au sommet. » La Déesse Séléné était enragée. Elle a jeté une malédiction perpétuelle : chaque héritier Alpha direct de la meute Pierre de Lune développerait des traits féminins à son dix-huitième anniversaire, régressant en un vulgaire Oméga. Seule l'union avec un loup Béni de la Lune peut lever la malédiction. J'étais amoureuse de Kaden depuis des années et ne voulais rien de plus que le sauver. Maya a prétendu posséder elle aussi le lignage Béni de la Lune. Kaden a tenté de l'épouser, mais j'ai exposé son mensonge et l'en ai empêché. Contraint par ses parents, Kaden a finalement fait de moi sa Luna. Après m'avoir marquée, Kaden n'a pas régressé en Oméga, mais il n'a pas non plus éveillé son lignage de Roi Alpha. Cette même nuit, Maya, au cœur brisé, est allée se promener seule dans les bois, où elle a été acculée par un groupe de renégats. Mes parents et Kaden me détestaient pour cela. Ils affirmaient que j'étais une menteuse dont le lignage était impur, ce qui expliquait pourquoi Kaden n'avait jamais vraiment accédé au pouvoir. Ils étaient convaincus que Maya était la véritable Bénie de la Lune. Ils croyaient que ma jalousie l'avaient tuée. Par une nuit de pleine lune, Kaden m'a arraché la gorge devant toute la meute. Quand j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue au jour où Kaden était arrivé à la meute Lune d'Argent pour faire sa demande.

I used to be the secret mate of Jason Boone, Alpha King of the Northern Realm. I was an Omega kept in the dark for seven long years. In this forbidden relationship, I gave birth to his son. Yet, he never once allowed our child to address him as his father. He promised that once his position was secure, he would publicly announce me as his Luna. But what I got instead was news of his grand engagement ceremony with Princess Bailey Shaw of a neighboring kingdom. "You're just a filthy stray Omega, surviving only because Jason pities you. Spare us the noble act. The elders would've cast you out of the Northern Realm long ago if it weren't for Jason. You'd be dead in some wilderness." Bailey rose gracefully and linked arms with Jason. She looked down on me as she spit out her contempt. When Jason missed our son's birthday again because of Bailey, I made my decision. I left, taking my son with me, and returned to my homeland. Unexpectedly, Jason, who had always been arrogant, lost control. He stormed into the healer academy I founded, desperately asking where I'd gone. But this time, neither I nor my son would look back.

There was a ten-year gap between me and my sister-in-law, but we got along surprisingly well, especially given that we were both in an absurdly rich family. Then, one day, she came to me, bawling and clutching a photo in her hand. "Your brother is cheating on me! He has a family somewhere else! For more than ten years! I'm getting a divorce!" Crying, I showed her a message I got from my husband's mistress. "That bastard Christopher has a mistress! I'm leaving this home!"
