Saat hamil sembilan bulan, aku disandera di atap gedung oleh mantan rekan yang dendam karena posisinya digantikan oleh suamiku. Dia menusukku puluhan kali. Sebagai seorang kepala tim penyelamat, suamiku malah mengerahkan semua orang untuk menghentikan cinta pertamanya yang sedang depresi agar tidak membakar diri di rumah kontrakannya. Aku tidak memohonnya datang menyelamatkanku. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku menelepon dan memohonnya datang menyelamatkanku. Dia pun meninggalkan cinta pertamanya demi diriku. Aku dan bayiku selamat, tapi cinta pertamanya justru tewas terbakar di dalam rumah itu. Suamiku memang kelihatannya tak menyalahkanku, dia bahkan memesankan ruang bersalin VIP untukku. Namun, di hari aku melahirkan, dia malah mengikatku, lalu menusukku dan bayi kami belasan kali! “Kamu bersekongkol dengan dia untuk menipuku hari itu, ‘kan? Luka tusukanmu nggak parah sama sekali waktu itu! Kamu nggak mungkin mati!” “Kalau kamu begitu suka ditusuk, biar aku kabulkan sekarang!” Saat membuka mata kembali, aku pun kembali ke hari di saat disandera. Kali ini, aku bakal membiarkan dia menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya.

"I own you!" He towers over me, trapping me against the wall. "I'm not yours to own," I reply. "But you are," He insists, he brings his hand to my neck and trails it down, only touching me with his fingertips. "Every single part of your body is mine." He trails his finger down the valley of my breasts, down my waist where he grabs me and pulls me to his chest. My eyes gazing deep into his, he says "And I can do whatever I want to do with it." *************************************** Bella Arthur is a twenty five -year-old omega, living with her younger sister who has cancer. As an orphan, Bella works two jobs to provide for her sister and pay for her medication. When she's offered a life-changing contract, she must decide whether to regret the contract and find her way through life or risk her life by spending 182 days in the Lycan's palace, known as hell on earth.

On the day we were supposed to get our marriage license, Michael Robertson ghosted. I sat outside the County Clerk's Office for hours. Instead of him, I got a pic from his secretary, Kallie Clunt. She was in his lap, arms wrapped around him, making out like it was the hottest scene in a drama. [Sorry, Elsa. Michael said he had to comfort my broken heart. You don't mind, do you?] When I asked him about it, he just looked annoyed. "She gave me blood once. What's the big deal if I hang out with her? Can't you be a little more understanding?" My stomach dropped. I turned away and called his older brother. "Leon, do you still want to marry me?"

"Are you sure you want to change your name, Ms. Anderson? You'll have to change your degree certificate, documentation, and passport once you do." Noelle Anderson nods. "I'm sure." The employee tries to talk her out of it. "It's quite troublesome for adults to change their names, and your current name sounds nice. Are you sure you don't want to think about it?" "No, I'm done thinking." She signs the form. "Sorry for the trouble and thanks." "Alright, then. The name you're changing to is… Aria Byrd, right?" "Yeah." Aria Byrd—it means a flight to freedom.

The day after my first shift, my Alpha mate Marcus Stone couldn’t wait to mark me as his Luna. He was the most powerful Alpha in Northern Regions. Rumors said he kept his distance from every beautiful she-wolf. Only I was the exception. Every anniversary, he would give me an exquisite red haute couture dress and a carefully arranged bouquet of moonflowers. I thought he loved the scent of moonflowers, so even though I was allergic to them, I happily accepted the gifts every time. Until at our mating ceremony anniversary banquet, I saw Marcus's childhood sweetheart Rose wearing a red dress, adorned with moonflower decorations. That's when I realized it was Rose who loved red dresses and moonflowers. Even when I was attacked by rogue wolves and lost our baby, he was by his first love's side. After learning the truth, I decided to leave him completely.

I decide to get onboard with the latest trend by custom-ordering a merfolk meant to serve me from AquaGene Corp. On the day Lance arrives at the company, the engineer tells me, "It's highly recommended that you be there in person, Ms. Ross. That way, you'll be able to form the initial bond with him." So, I spend one day standing before the eco-tank. As soon as Lance opens his eyes, he doesn't show any signs of wanting to get close to me. Instead, he merely scrutinizes me coldly before turning his back on me. I comfort myself, thinking that Lance is just shy. But one week later, I realize how wrong I truly am. I pay money because I want to buy a partner who can keep me company forever. Turns out I buy myself the biggest trouble of the century instead.

The night before my mating ceremony with Alpha Garrett Northwood of the Silverpine Pack, he held a grand Luna ceremony for my silver-poisoned stepsister behind my back. He held Serena close under the starlit sky, his smile tender in a way I'd never seen: "You're the only one I truly love, Serena." "Even though Maya and I are already registered as mates with the Alpha Council, she'll never have my heart. You're the only one I recognize as my Luna." The pack members cheered and blessed them as they completed the ceremony with joy. I watched it all without crying or screaming. Instead, I quietly scheduled an abortion appointment. I've loved Garrett Northwood for twelve years, ever since I first shifted as an adult. But his heart still only had room for my stepsister Serena. If that's how it was, I'd let go. Later, I joined the secluded Herbal Research Center of the Alpha Council. I left Garrett nothing but a mate bond dissolution agreement. But for some reason, Garrett—who had always treated me with disdain—suddenly went crazy begging me not to leave.

Hidup kembali untuk kedua kalinya, aku memutuskan untuk menjauh sejauh mungkin dari Arthur. Saat dia mendadak masuk ke perusahaan tempatku bekerja, aku langsung mengundurkan diri. Saat dia membeli rumah di komplek tempatku tinggal, aku segera pindah jauh-jauh. Saat dia memutuskan untuk mengambil alih bisnis keluarga dan menetap di dalam negeri, aku pun langsung mengajukan pindah tugas keluar negeri. Di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku memaksanya menikah denganku dengan alasan hamil. Namun, di hari pernikahan kami, cinta pertamanya kembali. Begitu melihat kami menikah, wanita itu langsung melompat dari atap gedung. Arthur pura-pura tak terjadi apa-apa, tetap tersenyum dan menikah denganku. Di hari ulang tahun pernikahan kami, dia mengajak aku dan anak kami pergi terjun lenting. Namun, dia malah memotong tali pengaman kami, membuat aku mati mengenaskan bersama anakku. Setelah mati, dia menatap mayatku dengan senyuman mengerikan. “Kalau bukan kamu, Aiko nggak akan bunuh diri!” “Sekarang, pergilah ke alam baka dan minta maaf pada Aiko!” Begitu membuka mata lagi, aku sudah kembali ke malam saat aku memaksanya menikah dengan dalih hamil.
