Healing Potion Xxi

At the full moon party before our marking ceremony, my mate Lucas got wasted. I went to pick him up, just like we agreed. Only to walk in on him burying his face in his first love’s neck, marking her with his scent. "Don't ever leave me again, Willow. My wolf only wants you." His first love shot me a triumphant smirk and shoved him into my arms. "Your mate is here. You should go." But Lucas, hiding behind his drunkenness, just looked at me with disgust. "You're the only one for me, Willow! She's just some lowly half-blood Omega. She's just my ride home, don't worry about her." I swallowed my humiliation and took him home, only to find out he wasn't drunk at all. He claimed he only said those things to appease Willow, for the sake of her pack's power. I just turned away. So on the day we were supposed to be bound for life, I ran. If Lucas was still hung up on his first love, then I would grant him his wish and disappear. But I never expected that after I left, he would lose his mind, crying and begging for me to come back.

"Dad, Mom, I've decided—I'll go through with the marriage arrangement with the Kingston family. I'll be back by the end of the month." Daphne Wharton made the decision in the middle of a camping trip with Luke Hardy. She curled into herself, pulling her scarf higher against the chill. For a moment, there was only silence on the other end of the line. Then, her mother's voice came through, thick with tears. "Daphne, we know this isn't fair to you. Our company is struggling, and the Kingston family is willing to help—but only if you marry their son. We've failed you as parents…" Her father let out a heavy sigh beside her mother. Daphne listened, her gaze unfocused. A faint, bitter smile tugged at her lips. "It's okay, Mom, Dad. This is what I should do. I'll be back in fifteen days—when their son returns to the country."

Ketika Susan terluka parah akibat ledakan kompor gas, hanya putranya yang berusia lima tahun yang berada di sisinya. Rohnya berdiri di samping Julian, melihatnya menangis sambil menelepon dan memohon agar Ginos bisa pulang untuk menyelamatkan ibunya. Namun, Ginos hanya memarahi dan menyuruhnya untuk jangan belajar berbohong seperti ibunya, lalu menutup telepon. Julian menyeka air matanya dan akhirnya memanggil ambulans, tetapi ambulans malah direnggut oleh Ginos. "Ayah, Ibu berdarah banyak dan sekarat. Bisakah Ayah tidak merebut ambulans?" "Dasar penipu, jangan ribut! Minggir, Wenny akan melahirkan, dia lebih butuh ambulans daripada Susan!" Ginos mendorong Julian yang menangis sedih, lalu pergi membawa Wenny ke dalam ambulans tanpa menoleh. "Ayah... Ayah! Tolong Ibu!" Julian menangis dan mengejar ambulans, tanpa memperhatikan truk yang melaju kencang. Susan meneriakkan nama putranya sekuat tenaga dan mencoba mendorongnya. Namun, dia tak bisa berbuat apa-apa selain menyaksikan Julian terjepit di bawah roda truk. Lautan darah. Susan hampir gila! Beberapa tahun ini, Ginos berulang kali meninggalkan mereka demi Wenny dan putrinya. Susan bertengkar dengannya, tetapi Ginos bilang dia hanya membalas budi ayah Wenny karena telah menyelamatkannya.

Susan mengembuskan napas terakhirnya dengan rasa sakit yang menyayat hati. Kalau ada kehidupan selanjutnya, Susan tidak ingin berhubungan dengan Ginos!

To forge an alliance, I had to choose a mate from the sons of the Blackwood Alpha. Everyone thought I'd choose Larry, the powerful Alpha-to-be. But on the day of the ceremony, I chose Derek—the outcast in the wheelchair, the one they called the Broken Wolf. I did it because in my past life, I chose Larry, and he betrayed me. He mated with another she-wolf right in front of me, forcing the entire pack to watch. He even marked Chloe, my so-called best friend. When I discovered their betrayal, he murdered me—and our unborn pup—with a silver dagger. I died in despair, my heart shattered. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I had to choose my mate. This time, they could have each other. I would rewrite my fate. But I never expected he'd been reborn, too.

The year the Lawson family was on the edge of bankruptcy, my father made a deal with Rory Lawson and arranged for me to marry him.

In seven days, I'd be leaving the country with my father.
