Germa 66 Members

Though we've been in love for six years, Arnold Porter, the Chief Legal Officer of the Werewolf Council, has canceled our marking ceremony 66 times. The first time he did so, he claimed that Erna Porter, his adoptive sister, was coughing blood in the middle of her heat. Decked in my gown, I stood in front of the Altar of the Full Moon alone until the moon had disappeared from the skies and everyone had left. The second time the ceremony gets canceled, it was because he suddenly received a message in the middle of the ceremony, saying that Erna was abducted by Rogues. He tore off his robes and shifted into his wolf instantly, rushing to save her, while I was forced to endure the laughter of our guests. Whenever we are to hold a ceremony, Erna will always get into trouble and then seek his help. Finally, when he cancels the ceremony for the 66th time, both my wolf and I give up. I break up with him and leave. Three days after I traverse the borders of the snowy plains riddled with powerful winds that conceal my trace, he seems to go crazy. He sends the elite guard of his pack on a mission just to find me.

Aku dan Andrew, pacarku yang seorang dokter bedah sudah berpacaran selama tujuh tahun. Kami bahkan pernah mengadakan 66 kali pernikahan, tapi setiap kali Andrew selalu membatalkannya karena Selena. Pertama kali, Selena salah menyuntikkan obat ke pasien. Andrew menyuruhku menunggunya dan aku pun menunggunya seharian penuh. Kedua kalinya, Selena terpeleset saat mandi. Saat itu kami sudah siap bertukar cincin, tapi Andrew langsung pergi tanpa berpikir panjang, meninggalkanku begitu saja di depan para tamu yang menertawakanku. Begitulah seterusnya. Aku terus mengadakan 65 kali pernikahan dan setiap kali Selena selalu punya alasan untuk memanggil Andrew pergi. Di pernikahan ke-65, Selena bilang anjingnya sakit parah dan dia juga ingin bunuh diri dengan melompat dari gedung. Penyakit jantung ibuku sampai kambuh sangking marahnya, tapi tetap saja kami tak bisa menahan Andrew. Setelah itu, Andrew berlutut memohon agar keluargaku memaafkannya. Dia bilang dirinya hanya merasa kasihan pada Selena yang seorang yatim piatu dan akulah satu-satunya orang yang paling dia cintai. Aku memberinya kesempatan terakhir, tapi dia kembali mengecewakanku. Akhirnya, aku benar-benar menyerah. Aku memilih berpisah dengan Andrew dan bergabung dengan tim dokter lintas batas internasional. Mulai sekarang, kami pun tidak perlu bertemu lagi.

Demi bersamaku, Vincent merancang enam puluh enam perjalanan lamaran. Pada kali keenam puluh tujuh, akhirnya aku tersentuh. Di hari pertama pernikahan, aku menyiapkan enam puluh enam kartu permintaan maaf. Kami sepakat, setiap kali dia membuatku marah, dia bisa menggunakan satu kartu untuk dimaafkan. Selama enam tahun pernikahan, setiap kali dia membuatku marah karena teman masa kecilnya, dia akan menyuruhku menghapus satu kartu permintaan maaf. Ketika kartu keenam puluh empat digunakan, Vincent mulai menyadari ada yang tidak beres denganku...

أحببتُ خطيبي الجرّاح أندرو سبع سنوات، وأقمنا ستةً وستين حفل زفاف، لكنه كان في كل مرة يختار إلغاءه بسبب سيلينا. في المرة الأولى، أخطأت سيلينا حين حقنت مريضًا بدواء خاطئ، فطلب مني أن أنتظره حتى يعود، فانتظرت يومًا كاملًا. وفي المرة الثانية، انزلقت سيلينا في الحمّام، وكنا على وشك تبادل خواتم الزواج، فإذا به يتركني بلا تردّد، غير آبه بسخرية الضيوف مني. هكذا واصلتُ إقامة خمسةٍ وستين حفلًا، وفي كل مرة كانت سيلينا تنجح في ابتكار ذريعة لاستدعاء أندرو. وفي المرة الخامسة والستين، قالت إن كلبها يحتضر، وإنها لا تريد العيش وستقفز من السطح. عندها أصيبت أمي بنوبة قلبية من شدّة الغضب، ومع ذلك لم نستطع أن نُبقي أندرو إلى جانبي. بعدها، ركع أندرو أمام عائلتي طالبًا الصفح، مؤكدًا أنه كان يشفق على سيلينا لأنها يتيمة، وأنني كنتُ وسأظل دائمًا حبيبته الوحيدة. منحتُه آخر فرصة... لكنه خيّب أملي مجددًا. وهكذا أغلقت قلبي تمامًا، واخترتُ الانفصال عنه، وانضممتُ إلى منظمة أطباء بلا حدود الدولية. ومنذ ذلك اليوم، لم يعد ثمة داعٍ لأن أراه مرة أخرى.

恋人のサイモン・ヘップワースが66回目のプロポーズをしてきたとき、私はついに彼の執念に心を動かされ、承諾した。 だが、結婚式の前夜になって、彼は突然こう言い出した。 「義妹のフィオナと子どもを作りたい」と。 あまりにも馬鹿げた話に私は激しく言い争った。 そして迎えた式当日。私はブーケを抱えて三時間待っても、彼は現れなかった。 届いたのは「式は延期する」という一言だけ。 理由は、フィオナと今日、体外受精をする約束をしていたから。 「フィオナは父親に虐待されて育った。だから一生、男と結婚できない。せめて子どもを持つ夢だけは叶えてあげたいんだ。 ただの体外受精だ。セックスしたわけじゃないんだ、そんなに嫉妬するなよ」 電話は一方的に切られ、私は結婚式場でひとり、招待客とマスコミの視線を浴びながら立ち尽くした。 そのショックで父は倒れ、ICUに運ばれる。 病室で私は父の手を握り、泣きながら誓った。 「お父様の言う通りよ。もうサイモンとは結婚しないわ。来週、必ず家に戻って家業を継ぐ」

My boyfriend, Simon Hepworth, gets down on one knee for the 66th time. Moved by his persistence, I finally say yes. But on the eve of our wedding, he drops a bombshell on me. He tells me he wants to have a child with his stepsister, Fiona Hepworth. I find it ridiculous and get into a huge fight with him. But I never could've imagined what would come next. On our wedding day, I wait at the altar for three hours, bouquet in my hands, only for him to dismissively tell me that the wedding is postponed. All because he and Fiona have an IVF appointment that very day. "Fiona was abused by her father growing up. She'll never be able to marry," he explains. "I just want to help her fulfill her dream of being a mother. It's just IVF. It's not like we're actually sleeping together. Stop being so sensitive." He then hangs up, leaving me alone at the wedding under the gaze of countless guests and flashing media cameras. The shock sends my father into the ICU. Standing by his bedside, I make a vow. "Dad, you were right. I won't marry Simon. Next week, I'll come home and take over the family business."

私がは外科医の彼氏アンドリューと七年付き合って、結婚式がもう66回も挙げた。 でも毎回、彼はセレナのために式を中止した。 一回目は、セレナが患者に誤った薬を打った時。 彼は「戻るまで待ってて」と言って、私は一日中待ち続けた。 二回目は、セレナが風呂で転んだ時。 その時ちょうど指輪の交換をしようとしてたのに、彼は一瞬も迷わず私を置いていった。 ゲストたちに笑われても、彼は私のことなんて気にも留めなかった。 私は65回も結婚式を挙げ続けたけど、毎回セレナは理由をつけてアンドリューを呼び出し、彼はその度に私を置いていった。 65回目の式の時、セレナは「犬が死にそうで、私も死にたい。ビルから飛び降りる」と言い出した。 母は怒りで心臓発作を起こしたけど、それでもアンドリューは止まらなかった。 その後、アンドリューは家族全員の前で跪いて謝ってきた。 「セレナは孤児で可哀そうなだけだ。俺が本当に愛してるのはアイビー、君だけだ」って。 私は彼に最後のチャンスをあげた。 でも、やはり彼は私を裏切った。 私は完全にあきらめて、アンドリューと別れることを決めた。 そして国際医療援助チームに参加した。 もう、二度と彼に会う必要なんてない。

Three year after my death, my former mate returned— not to mourn me, but to make use of me one last time. It was the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year—the night when wolves whispered to the dead. “Where’s Mira Thorne?” Rowan demanded as he strode downstairs into the tavern beneath the den. “Her lived here—Gavin’s sister. I need to find her.” Dorian, the tavern keeper, glanced up slowly. “Mira?” he repeated, wiping his hands on a cloth. “She’s gone, Doctor. Died three winters ago. Same night the Moon rose red.” Rowan’s brows knit. “Dead? That’s impossible. There’s no record.” Dorian’s voice softened. “The family from that healing case—remember them? They found her in the alley behind this inn. Tore her apart before dawn. The healers couldn’t even retrieve her wolf.” Rowan froze, a flicker of disbelief passing across his face before irritation took over. “No. She’s pretending. She’s doing this to make me feel guilty.” he said sharply. “She’s hiding. She always was weak. Tell her if her doesn’t come out within three days, I’ll stop sending money for brother’s treatment.” He turned abruptly and left, the tavern door slamming behind him. Dorian sighed after him., shaking his head. “brother? Her brother died before the healers even arrived… there was never any money for treatment.” The silence that followed was heavier than snow. Dorian watched the falling snow and murmured to the empty air, “No one pretends death, Doctor. Not when they’ve already lost everything.”

My twin sister, Audrey Goodwin, was obsessed with romance novels about rich heirs. All she wanted was to marry into money and live like some perfect socialite. She set her sights on the silver-spoon scion in Jezelton, Michael Strickland, who'd been blind after a car accident. Audrey got close by becoming his private nurse. But she got tired of the work really quickly. So, she asked me to cover for her. When Michael finally got his eyesight back and held a huge celebration, Audrey decided to drug him so she could slide right into the role of Mrs. Strickland. I didn't stop her this time. I even went as far as booking her a luxury suite so she could carry out her plan. In my last life, I had begged Audrey not to go through with it. I told her romance novels weren't real life, and guys like Michael were way too powerful to mess with. She had actually listened and canceled the plan. But a little while later, the news broke: Michael secretly got married. It turned out that he'd been with someone else that very night. Just like that, Audrey's big fantasy was gone. She blamed me for ruining her "dream". My parents blamed me as well; they beat me and yelled at me, saying Audrey couldn't marry Michael now because of me. One night, Audrey snapped. She came into my room with a hammer and beat me to death. Now, I had been given another chance. I woke up right on the night of Michael's recovery party.
