How Did Danny Dog Die

Before I married Gavin Whitaker, his mother put me through a so-called premarital obedience test. She made me kneel and serve tea to the entire family, so I knelt. She made me walk barefoot across a reflexology path to prove my "resilience". I went through it. She made me sign a prenuptial agreement stating that if we ever divorced, I would leave with nothing. I signed. Throughout it all, Gavin watched coldly from the sidelines. All he said was, "Sienna, don’t make a big deal out of this. Just bear with it. These are our family’s rules." I smiled and nodded, even as tears slid down my face. The final test came without warning. His mother slapped me hard across the face. "If you marry into this family, you need to understand what humility means." I didn’t move. However, upstairs in the study, where Gavin was in the middle of a video conference, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed. He clutched his face and stared at me in terror.

"He told me to run. I didn’t listen. Now I can’t escape him… or the curse." On the eve of her eighteenth birthday, Elena Blackthorne should be celebrating the moment every werewolf dreams of — finding her fated mate. But when the bond snaps and she's cruelly rejected in front of her entire pack, her world shatters. Wounded, ashamed, and desperate to feel anything but pain, Elena flees into the forest... and collides with something older than myth. Silas Blackmoor is a rogue with silver eyes, a violent past, and a soul marked by the same bloodline curse Elena unknowingly carries. When her mate rejects her, the Moon Goddess grants her a second chance — and that chance is Silas, the one wolf every pack fears. Now bound to a stranger with a dangerous legacy, Elena is thrust into a world of secrets, ancient rivalries, and a prophecy soaked in blood. The deeper she falls for Silas, the more she begins to question everything she was raised to believe — about her pack, her past, and herself. But love may not be enough to save them. Because some fates were written to burn.

I was once the Alpha's adopted daughter, but I took the fall for the man I loved and spent three years in the Pack prison. Then I had his pup before we were ever mated. This was the ninety-ninth time I'd asked for a mating ceremony. He swept his arm across the desk and sent everything crashing to the floor. "You really think you deserve to be mated to me? You've done time. You're nothing." "I've been too good to you. You've forgotten your place." But he was the one who'd promised. He said once I had the baby, we'd have the ceremony and be mates. He slammed the door on his way out. He didn't come home for three months. He cut me off completely. The power and water were shut off. My pup Lily had a fever that wouldn't break. I had no choice. I carried her to Pack headquarters to find him, and that's when I heard him talking to Serena. "Babe, when are you finally going to leave that trashy Ivy? We're the ones who actually went through the ceremony. We're the real mates." His voice went all soft and indulgent, and it made my skin crawl. "I want to cut ties with her too. It's her fault — she couldn't give me a son." "She's done time. How could she ever be worthy of me?" But he seemed to have forgotten — the reason I was locked up in the first place was because I took the fall for him.

I was ten years old when I lost my hearing saving Adrian Falcone's life. After that, I couldn't survive without my hearing aids. He held my hand afterward, his eyes red-rimmed with guilt, and made me a promise in front of his entire family. "Serena Lombardi, I'll protect you with my life," he said. "I'll marry you." But when I turned eighteen, everything changed. Adrian needed to pass some test set by Daniela Moretti—the daughter of a rival family—and he chose the cruelest way to prove himself. He ripped the hearing aids from my ears in front of everyone and laughed. "You're just a deaf, useless burden," he said, his voice cold and cutting. "I've been sick of you for years. Honestly? I wish you'd died in that explosion when we were ten and saved me the trouble." I gripped the rehabilitation report the doctor had just handed me, and my fingers crushed the paper's edges. The diagnosis was precise—my hearing had fully recovered. That night, I burned my hearing aids and convinced my parents to cut all ties with the Falcone family. Adrian Falcone, we're done. Whatever we had, whatever you owed me—it's over now.

Am Tag der Markierungszeremonie wurden mein Gefährte und meine Schwester Rose erwischt, wie sie in der Garderobe der Brautjungfern Sex hatten. Ich wurde zum Gespött des ganzen Rudels. Gerade als ich vor Scham im Boden versinken wollte, trat Alpha Nate vor. Er markierte mich vor aller Augen. Nach der Hochzeit umsorgte er mich liebevoll. Trotzdem blieben wir kinderlos. Erst eine künstliche Befruchtung ermöglichte mir endlich, schwanger zu werden. Er kümmerte sich noch aufmerksamer um mich. Selbst im Schlaf murmelte er „Liebling“ zu mir. In diesem Moment dachte ich, die Mondgöttin selbst hätte uns dieses Glück geschenkt. Bis ich eines Tages ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seinem Beta belauschte. „Du bist wirklich herzlos, Nate! Luna Diana ist so gut zu dir, und nur weil Rose Angst vor den Geburtsschmerzen hat, hast du heimlich die Eizellen ausgetauscht und lässt Luna für sie das Baby austragen?“ „In zwei Monaten kommt das Kind zur Welt. Was hast du vor?“ Er schwieg einen Moment und seufzte dann: „Wenn das Kind geboren ist, gebe ich es Rose. Damit erfülle ich ihren Traum, Mutter zu werden.“ „Und Diana werde ich erzählen, dass das Kind tot zur Welt gekommen ist.“ „Sie ist nur eine verlassene Omega. Dass ich mein Leben an ihrer Seite verbringe, ist Entschädigung genug.“ Die ganze Zärtlichkeit, der ganze Schutz – alles war gelogen. Ich drehte mich um und vereinbarte einen Termin für einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch. Dieses unreine Kind will ich nicht. Diese verlogene Ehe will ich noch weniger. Ich bin eine Omega des Rudels, aber kein Werkzeug für andere.
