On my five-year-old son Oliver's birthday, I baked him his favorite allergy-safe cake and he said he wanted my husband's secretary, Rachel, to be his mom. While I worked hard for my husband and son to have a privileged life, they went to an amusement park with Rachel to eat ice cream together. I still worked overtime to treat him when Oliver openly denied that I was his mother in the kindergarten and claimed that Rachel was his "biological mother". I still believe his assurances even after I discovered a photograph of my husband Derek and Rachel from before we met. I thought being Head Healer of Blood Moon Pack meant I could mend any wound, but some betrayals cut too deep for even the strongest magic to heal. As it is, it's time for them to know how much I paid for our perfect little family. It's time for them to pay me back for everything I've given them.

I am the daughter of the Alpha of the Blood Moon Pack, my parents are very rich, but I have nothing. When black magic was eating away at me with a month to live, I asked to borrow ten dollars and they said I was "not worthy." I dragged my sickly body to buy the cheapest herbal medicine, but I saw them spending billions of dollars to celebrate my foster sister Vivian's 18th birthday. Tears streamed down my face, I just wanted to spend ten dollars on a piece of fabric and make my own ceremonial robe, even though I wouldn't live to be eighteen.

I was born into a regular family in the Moonridge Pack with no status, but through years of training, I fought my way up to become our pack's Gamma. My father was just an Omega and he worked as an ordinary salesman who always claimed he was too busy for family. When he finally took a vacation, I spent $100,000 of my own money to plan a luxury cruise for us all. Then his mistress Sarah and her daughter Emily heard about our trip and suddenly wanted to join. Without even discussing it, my father gave them our luxury suite and relegated Mom and me to the cramped staff quarters below deck. Even my grandmother, a respected elder, supported his decision. My fourteen-year-old brother took their side too, charmed by their fake sweetness. So I changed our plans. I took Mom on a first-class flight to a private island resort instead, where we spent three perfect months. That's when the family started to panic...

I worked as a waitress in a small-town diner, but I put my husband Tom through Harvard Law School. But after he graduated, when I was eight months pregnant, he divorced with me and married my best friend, Sarah. On their wedding day, I didn't cry or make a scene. Instead, I went to work as their housekeeper. Tom thought my love made me easy to control. Sarah treated me like dirt, thinking I was born to serve. I never complained – I just prepared a surprise for them. But when their daughter was admitted to Harvard, they opened the surprise and went crazy.

Ich verbrachte sechs Monate und gab über 20.000 Euro damit aus, einen Familienurlaub zu planen. Als jedoch Alexanders Jugendliebe Victoria von unserer Reise hörte, flehte sie darum, sich uns anzuschließen. Alexander zögerte nicht. Er stornierte meinen Platz im geschützten Konvoi und gab ihn stattdessen ihr. Er zwang mich, allein durch das tödliche Schattenrudel-Territorium zu reisen – eine sechsunddreißigstündige Reise, bei der im letzten Monat drei Wölfe gestorben waren. Die ganze Familie unterstützte Alexanders Entscheidung, ohne einen Gedanken an meine Sicherheit zu verschwenden. Also änderte ich meine Reisepläne. Ich fuhr nach Norden statt nach Süden. Drei Monate lang amüsierte ich mich und ignorierte ihre Rudelverbindungs-Nachrichten. Da begann die Familie zu geraten...

Le jour des cinq ans de mon fils Oliver, je lui avais préparé son gâteau préféré, sans allergènes. Et ce jour-là, il m'a dit qu'il voulait que Rachel, la secrétaire de mon mari, soit sa maman. Pendant que je travaillais sans relâche pour offrir à mon mari et à mon fils une vie privilégiée, ils sont allés au parc d'attractions avec Rachel, pour manger des glaces ensemble. Même après ça, j'ai continué à faire des heures supplémentaires pour soigner mes patients… alors qu'à la maternelle, Oliver a nié que j'étais sa mère, affirmant que Rachel était sa "maman biologique". Et pourtant, j'ai continué à croire leurs belles paroles. Même quand j'ai découvert une vieille photo de Derek et Rachel, prise bien avant que je ne rencontre mon mari. Je croyais qu'en tant que Guérisseuse en chef de la Meute de la Lune de Sang, je pouvais réparer n'importe quelle blessure… Mais certaines trahisons sont trop profondes, même pour la magie la plus puissante. Il est temps, désormais, qu'ils comprennent combien j'ai payé pour construire notre "petite famille parfaite". Il est temps qu'ils me rendent tout ce que je leur ai donné.

J’aurais dû être la future Alpha Femelle de la Meute du Nord, mais mon compagnon, l’Alpha Roi Adam Bertrand, m’a demandé d’y renoncer. Il insistait pour que je reste collée à lui jour et nuit, affirmant qu’il ne survivrait pas sans le contact de sa compagne. Je l’aimais si profondément que j’ai accepté. Pendant sept ans, j’ai été à la fois sa parfaite Luna et une Bêta compétente, renforçant sa meute jour après jour. Je pensais que tout en valait la peine, tout le monde savait qu’Adam m’aimait à en mourir. Comme j’ai du mal à dormir, il a dépensé 10 millions de dollars pour acheter du précieux « thé de la lune » auprès d’une sorcière afin que je puisse enfin trouver le repos. Mais ils ignorent que, chaque nuit, dès que je m’endors, Adam amène Sarah—l’oméga de notre cuisine—dans notre lit. Le même loup qui m’appelait « Petite lune » la prenait juste à côté de mon corps inconscient. Le jour où le médecin m’a annoncé que j’attendais des jumeaux, j’ai tout découvert. J’ai retenu la brûlure dans mon cœur et ma poitrine, et d’un regard fatigué, j’ai murmuré à la Déesse de la Lune : « Déesse, je veux quitter ce monde. » « Es-tu prête à tout abandonner, mon enfant ? » J’ai doucement caressé mon ventre avant d’acquiescer fermement. La déesse a poussé un soupir et a dit : « Dans trois jours, je viendrai te chercher. »

The day before my mating ceremony, my mother caught my soon-to-be mate Derek in a passionate embrace with my step-sister Scarlett. The anger triggered my mother's heart attack need a transplant surgery immediately Fortunately, I was compatible with my mother for a heart transplant. I decided to give her my heart and use an artificial one instead. Faced with the enormous cost of the surgery, Derek, my coward of a mate, vanished. I went to beg my step-sister Scarlett, who had married an elderly but wealthy Alpha Marcus, for help. She claimed she didn't have enough cash, yet the next day she was showing off her new enchanted moonstone necklace. In my darkest hour, Alexander Stone appeared. He was the most renowned healer and Marcus’s son，the future Alpha. He covered all the costs and offered to perform the surgery himself. When I woke up, Alexander's face was filled with regret. He told me my mother had suffered a sudden rejection reaction during surgery and passed away. He pulled my tear-stained face to his chest, declaring his love and begging me to let him care for me for eternity. Seven years into our mating bond, I accidentally overheard his conversation with his beta: "So you gave Sarah's heart to Scarlett instead, right in front of her mother? That was brutal, even for you." "What could I do? Her heart matched Scarlett's perfectly." "But we had already found a suitable donor heart! Scarlett only needed to wait half a day. Why were you so impatient?" Alexander sighed, his voice heavy with emotion: "I couldn't bear to see Scarlett suffer, not even for a second."

Saat penjahat menyiksa aku hingga mati, aku sudah hamil tiga bulan. Namun suamiku, Marcell Wijaya, seorang detektif paling terkemuka di kota ini, sedang berada di rumah sakit bersama cinta pertamanya, Emilia Nessi, menemani dia menjalani pemeriksaan kesehatan. Tiga hari sebelumnya, ia memintaku menyumbangkan ginjal untuk Emilia. Ketika aku menolak dan mengatakan bahwa aku telah dua bulan mengandung anak kami, tatapannya berubah menjadi dingin. “Berhenti berbohong,” ujarnya dengan suara bergetar sambil menahan marah. “Kamu cuma egois, mau membiarkan Emilia mati.” Ia menghentikan mobil di jalan raya yang gelap. “Keluar,” perintahnya. “Kalau kamu setega itu, pulanglah jalan kaki.” Aku berdiri di kegelapan lalu diculik oleh penjahat yang dendam karena pernah dipenjara oleh Marcell. Ia memotong lidahku. Dengan kepuasan kejam, ia menggunakan ponsel aku untuk menelepon suamiku. Namun jawaban Marcell singkat dan dingin, “Apa pun itu, pemeriksaan kesehatan Emilia lebih penting! Dia butuh aku sekarang.” Penjahat itu tertawa jahat. “Nah, nah… sepertinya detektif hebat itu lebih menghargai hidup mantan cintanya daripada istri sahnya.” Beberapa jam kemudian, ketika Marcell sampai di tempat kejadian, dia ketakutan melihat kekejaman yang diterapkan pada tubuh yang telah dimutilasi. Ia marah dan menyalahkan pembunuh karena terlalu kejam terhadap wanita hamil. Namun ia tak menyadari bahwa tubuh yang dimutilasi di hadapannya adalah istrinya sendiri, aku.

That night, Liam served me my usual evening tea. I trusted him completely—he was my mate, after all, and a respected healer of Thornpack. I shouldn't have. When I woke up the next morning, my head was spinning. The special safe where I kept the morphing inhibitor—the one I'd spent my entire savings to import from Europe for our daughter Isla—was empty. Racing to the healing center, I found Liam celebrating. He was handing out moon-blessed wine, beaming with pride as Natalie's daughter Anna showed off her perfect transformation. My inhibitor had been used on his first love's pup instead of our own daughter. The shock triggered something in my brain. When I collapsed, they diagnosed me with the rare tumor that plagued our kind. Without inhibitors, I couldn't stop Isla's transformation that came early, her six year old body couldn't handle the massive wolf form and the force ripped through her young body. And I, for one, don't even have enough money to keep her in a treatment center. She died in my arms three days later, her little claws drawing blood as the pain overwhelmed her. Until her last breath, she kept asking why Papa hadn't come. Now, in my cold, empty home, with the white porcelain urn containing her ashes on the table, I touch her and decide to sever our partnership.
