How Do Fish Sleep

I volunteer to be the mate of Carl Wood, the Alpha of the Nightfall pack, as a direct measure to resolve the conflict between our two packs. He marks me on a full moon night. His gaze is so fervent in that moment that I interpret his look as a genuine sign of his attraction. Carl personally leads the elite fighters across the border two years later. He grabs my head, making me witness the gruesome dismantling of my mother, father, and brother by the pack; his gaze is alight with vengeful satisfaction. "Did your father show mercy during our youth when he destroyed my pack, Aria? Do you truly believe that having you here is enough to make up for this vengeance?" Carl assumes the position as the most powerful Alpha of the northern region, with Selena Hall established at his side as his Luna. I am kept barely alive, imprisoned in the depths of the dungeon in the pack. If I attempt to end my life, Carl retrieves the bones of a relative from the cemetery and incinerates them right in front of me, bellowing with bloodshot eyes, "You're not allowed to die unless I allow you to, Aria!" I immediately cease all resistance after that. Carl's heart was pierced by a silver-tipped arrow during his escape years ago. I had to implore the dark witch to use dark magic and substitute my sound heart for his. There are only three days left before the poison completely takes hold of me.

Ao saber que eu estava grávida, o amor inesquecível do meu marido me empurrou de propósito do convés de um cruzeiro. Não gritei por socorro. Em silêncio, agarrei a minha sogra, que também caíra na água, e juntas lutamos para sobreviver. Na vida passada, clamei desesperada no meio do mar. Meu marido desceu imediatamente com homens para salvar a mim e à sua mãe. A amante, porém, manchada de sangue, atraiu tubarões e acabou devorada. Após a morte dela, ele declarou que, por ter me empurrado, ela não merecia viver e passou a me tratar com devoção. Mas, quando meu filho nasceu, foi ele quem pegou o retrato daquela mulher e esmagou a criança com ele. Rugiu ele: — Você me fez perder o amor da minha vida. Agora vai provar o mesmo gosto da perda! Lutei até o fim e o arrastei comigo para a morte. Quando abri os olhos novamente... eu estava de volta àquele mesmo mar.

While I was nine months pregnant, the apple of my husband’s eye moved into our house. Whenever she saw me, she would make a sad face. My husband was sure that I was flaunting my pregnancy to make her angry. “Rachel is frail, and she can’t get pregnant, yet you’re walking around making her upset?! Do I seriously have to teach you a lesson?!” He ordered the bodyguards to lock me in the attic that had not been in use for a long time and told them not to give me food. I pleaded for mercy and told him that the ultrasound scan showed that the twin babies were too big. I told him that the doctor had claimed that I had to be hospitalized while I waited for my delivery. But he laughed as if he had heard the world’s greatest joke. When he spoke, his voice was as cold as ice. “You’re still three days away from your delivery date! Enough with the pitiful act! Repent while you’re in the attic! This is what you get for making Rachel upset!” The contractions hurt so much that I clenched my fists to the point that my nails broke, but no one unlocked the door to the attic. My piercing screams echoed in the attic for a long time until my whole body was soaked in blood, and one of my babies was stuck between my bloody legs. Three days later, my husband ate his breakfast that was not up to his taste and said, “Have Jane make breakfast for me, then have her apologize to Rachel with a gift. If she’s sincere enough, I’ll send her to the hospital to deliver the babies.” But no one dared go up to the attic because the blood that flowed down from it had already reached the second step of the stairs.

A nona cerimônia de vínculo entre mim e o Rei Alfa, Thorne Ravencrest, finalmente chegou. Ainda assim, mais uma vez, falhei em me tornar sua Rainha Luna. Não porque ele tivesse quebrado sua promessa… mas porque eu não era qualificada o suficiente. Os anciãos deixaram isso absolutamente claro: toda Rainha Luna reconhecida pela Deusa da Lua ao longo da história deve cultivar 365 Flores do Luar usando sua própria essência de sangue. Mas todos os anos, na véspera da cerimônia, por mais cuidadosa que eu fosse, sempre faltava uma flor. Este ano, quase me esgotei completamente e, por pouco, consegui cultivar a quantidade exata. Eufórica, fui procurar Thorne, querendo fazer uma surpresa. Pela porta entreaberta do salão do trono, ouvi seu Beta dizer: — Rei Alfa, Sera está esperando por você há oito anos. Você realmente nunca vai se vincular a ela? Thorne balançou a cabeça. — Eu prometi à Willow que este ano também não podemos nos vincular. Seu Beta hesitou. — E se Sera realmente conseguir cultivar flores suficientes? Thorne ficou em silêncio por um momento, então bateu palmas. Um lobo das sombras apareceu e se fundiu à escuridão. Pouco depois, o lobo retornou com uma Flor do Luar presa entre os dentes. Thorne a rasgou em pedaços e soltou um suspiro. — Sera tem sangue de sobra. Esqueça um ano. Ela poderia continuar cultivando por mais dez anos e ainda ficaria bem. — Mas Willow foi envenenada com acônito. Eu sou tudo o que resta para ela… e ela quer que eu fique ao seu lado em seus últimos dias. — Eu não consigo recusar Willow. Isso significa que Sera terá que esperar um pouco mais. Mordi o lábio com força, mal conseguindo acreditar no que estava ouvindo. Então… as Flores do Luar que desapareciam misteriosamente todos os anos… eram todas destruídas por ele. Ser uma Rainha Luna sempre foi meu sonho desde criança. Mas, se ele nunca teve a intenção de se vincular a mim… Então era hora de eu deixá-lo.

After completing the quest, I insisted on staying in that world, foregoing the lucrative rewards. It was because I had a happy and perfect family there. My brother was a genius world-renowned scientist, and all his research achievements were named after me. My father was the world's richest man, and all his wealth was under my name. My mother was an extraordinarily talented dancer, but she gave up the stage just to spend more time with me. My family pampered me. I was the most envied pampered daughter in the world… until the day their real daughter, Carrie Langford, showed up at our door. Their love for me vanished overnight. From then on, I became inconsequential. Carrie orchestrated her own fall down the stairs, and my mother was so angry that she broke my leg. I ate a small bite of the cake Carrie threw away, so my father locked me in a dog cage for three days to dine with the dogs. He also made a golden cake for Carrie to make her feel better. Just because Carrie complained that her heart hurt, my brother dug out my heart for her and replaced it with an artificial heart. "It's just a heart. You've always been healthy. Carrie needs it more than you do." Calmly, my brother stood to the side, analyzing the data. "Don't worry, artificial heart technology is already very advanced, so the theoretical survival rate is very high. You won't die." After my soul left my body, I saw Carrie casually throw my heart into a trash can. The long-dormant system was awakened. [Would you like to take back everything you've given them, including your father's wealth, your mother's dancing talent, and your brother's intelligence, in exchange for a chance to revive?]

My fiancé wants to marry me in a pizzeria. At the same time, he promises to give his true love the rest of his life on a luxurious cruise. Our wedding is only 48 hours away, but I don't want him anymore.

At the very moment Phoebe Stanton miscarries, her husband, Connor Russell, is celebrating the return of his first love. To him, her three years of devotion and companionship mean nothing more than being a live-in maid and cook. Phoebe gives up on him and decides to divorce. Everyone in their circle knows that Phoebe is clingy and impossible to shake off. "I bet she'll come crawling in a day." Connor sneers. "A day? That's too long—half a day at most." But the moment Phoebe signs the divorce papers, she decides never to look back. She throws herself into a new life. She revives her career, which she once abandoned, builds new connections, and meets new people. As time goes on, Connor no longer sees even a trace of Phoebe at home. He begins to panic. At an industry summit, he finally spots her, surrounded by admirers. Desperate, he pushes forward. "Phoebe, haven't you had enough of this tantrum?" But Gideon Blackwood suddenly steps in front of her, shoving Connor aside, his very demeanor chilling the air. "Don't touch my woman." Connor has never loved Phoebe. But now that he does, it's already too late. There's no longer a place for him in her world.
