How Many Sons Did Zeus Have

The girl my family sponsored was a manipulative opportunist. She had my childhood friends wrapped around her finger. I helped her out of pity for her poor background, but she climbed her way up, slowly taking my place. She faked innocence in front of the brothers while sabotaging me behind my back. When they found out, they called me petty rather than blame her. I got fed up, married my college crush, and moved on. But they flew in overnight, begging for forgiveness.

Luna Dela Vega, had been orphan in an early age because of the unmercy killing of the horrible Werewolves to his father. She was eaten by too much anger and the aim to take a revenge, to kill all the Werewolves packs without giving them any kind of mercy too. She will kill them, but what if one day she knew, that the only man who brought hope in her mourning soul, the man she already love the most is one of them? Does she able to kill him too, just to give a justice she's longing to seek for her dead parent?

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.

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.

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.

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?"

**“— One year! A damn year being your wife without ever being anything to you! — I spat the words, holding back my tears with clenched teeth. — And now you think you can just… keep existing in my life? Ace looked at me with that calmness of someone who had always won without needing to fight. But this time, it wouldn’t be like that. — I never stopped you from leaving, Luna. You’re the one who kept waiting for something I never promised. — I stayed because I thought that… maybe you would see me. That at some point I’d stop being just your obligation. But it doesn’t matter anymore, I’m finally managing to forget you. He stepped closer until his warmth brushed against my body. — Then why do you still tremble when I come near? — Because you scare me… — I whispered weakly. — Is that it? Is that really it? Or is it because you know that if I touched you even once… — his voice dropped lower, hot and provoking — …you’d never be able to walk away again.” Luna Bexter had loved Ace Montesino for a long time. She thought she was lucky to become his wife in a marriage of convenience, but after the one-year term ended, Luna grew tired of waiting for Ace’s feelings to change and decided to leave. Is it truly possible for them to go their separate ways?**
