Après la mort de ma sœur jumelle Clémentine, mon compagnon Alpha m'a détestée depuis dix ans. Pendant toute une décennie, j'étais sa Luna, et j'ai essayé par tous les moyens d'être gentille avec lui. Un jour, il m'a dit : « Si tu veux vraiment me faire plaisir, tu n'as qu'à mourir. » Alors, quand un camion m'a foncée dessus, je n'ai même pas bougé, mais je ne m'attendais pas à ce que Léo me pousse hors du chemin pour me sauver. Il était gravement blessé. Avant de mourir, il m'a regardée et a murmuré : « Margot, si seulement je ne t'avais jamais rencontrée, tout aurait été mieux. » À l'enterrement de Léo, tous les anciens et les membres de la meute sont venus. « J'aurais dû laisser Léo choisir Clémentine comme Luna. Je regrette de l'avoir forcé à te choisir à l'époque. Tu l'as tué ! » La mère de Léo était accablée de chagrin. Le père de Léo a également dit : « Tu sais ? Léo t'a sauvé la vie trois fois ! C'était un Alpha au grand cœur. Pourquoi n'es-tu pas morte à sa place ? » Tout le monde à l'enterrement m'a regardée avec des reproches. Finalement, j'ai été expulsée de l'enterrement, perdue et dévastée. Trois ans plus tard, avec l'aide d'une sorcière, je suis retournée dans le passé grâce à son sort. Cette fois, j'ai pris une décision. Quoi qu'il arrive, je ne serais plus jamais la Luna de Léo.

My husband sponsored a poor female college student. While I was being dragged into an alley by a criminal, he was helping her pick out lingerie. While I was hospitalized with serious injuries, he used the money my mother left me to buy her a limited-edition handbag. I confronted him in a heated argument, but he accused me of being unreasonable. "I thought your injuries were so serious, but look—you didn’t even die! Besides, your money is my money. I’ll spend it however I want!"

Ethan and I have been in a mate bond since six years ago. He was the Alpha of our pack. Our twin pups were going to have their fifth birthday, and I wanted to set up a bloodline trust fund for them. However, due to their special positions as the Alpha’s heirs, the trust fund required a blood verification to confirm their lineage. But after the verification, I was shocked to find that our blood couldn’t blend together. It meant I wasn’t the biological mother-wolf of the twin pups. The Inheritance Officer looked at me sympathetically and said, “I’m sorry, but this trust fund can only be established by their biological mother-wolf.” I froze for a moment and said, “There must be some kind of mistake. I can call the midwife wolf who helped me deliver them to testify. I am their mother-wolf!” “As you can see, your blood isn’t merging with theirs, but their blood is merging with the Alpha’s. So these twin pups are indeed the Alpha’s. You’re not their biological mother-wolf. Let me see… Here, their biological mother-wolf should be Helena Grayback. I’m sorry. They have nothing to do with you.” Helena? I felt completely shocked. My mind went blank. I hadn’t heard that name in a long time. She was Ethan’s first love. Helena was from a pack that had a longstanding hatred for ours. They couldn’t be together back then, but now, it turned out that the twin pups I had struggled to carry and give birth to were actually Ethan and Helena’s.

Shock, cold and absolute, rippled through me. My jaw dropped. “Owned? I am not an object! You can’t just—” His dark chuckle cut me off. It was a chilling sound, devoid of warmth. “Oh, but I do, little bird. You became mine the moment your dear brother, Carlos, sold you to clear his debts. Along with almost all the shares in your father’s company.” The air left my lungs in a ragged gasp. What was he talking about? That couldn't be true, yet the look in his eyes said otherwise. He had sold me like an object, like chattel. Rage, raw and unadulterated, surged through me, eclipsing the fear for a fleeting moment. I tried to push past him, to escape and to run anywhere but his hand shot out, grabbing me by the neck, not quite choking but enough to hold me in an iron grip. He pinned me to the wall, his face inches from mine, his eyes burning with an intense possessive fire. “You now belong to Lorenzo Blackwood,” he growled, his voice low and dangerous. “You are mine. To possess. To claim. To own.”
