Just a few days before my wedding, I accidentally come across a post while scrolling online. The title reads, "To the guy getting married in this city, your fiancée's already cheated on you." Curious, I click in to see the gossip, only to realize I'm the one being talked about. A deep male voice plays in the video. "I heard you're getting married?" The woman in the frame, bare-backed and trembling, chokes back a sob. "After you left, I realized you're still the one I love most. I'm done with him. Take me away, please!" The moment I hear her voice, it feels like someone punches me straight in the chest. Then I notice something on her wrist—the luxury couple's bracelet I gave her just yesterday. And in that instant, I feel like the biggest joke of all. Turns out the fool was me.

Eva memelototi bagian belakang kepala suaminya dengan kesal, "Percaya atau tidak, tapi tadi malam ada yang memberiku obat perangsang." "Oh ya? Menurutmu aku percaya?" Eva mendecih. "Terserah kau mau percaya atau tidak. Tapi sejujurnya aku katakan kalau aku lebih suka tidur di samping onggokan sampah daripada tidur denganmu." Suara Eva sarat dengan amarah. Betapa menjijikkan dan sombongnya pria itu karena telah membuat video tentang apa yang terjadi tadi malam lalu memutarnya kembali di hadapannya seperti ini. Suaminya hanya ingin mempermalukannya. "Apakah kau kesal karena tadi malam aku tidak melakukannya hingga lima kali denganmu, Eva? Uhm, atau mungkin kau hanya ingin hamil anakku sehingga statusmu sebagai istriku tidak perlu dipertanyakan lagi?" Eva menghela napas, sudah cukup dengan omong kosong ini. Dia tidak ingin dipermalukan lagi oleh suaminya. "Yang harus kau lakukan hanyalah menandatangani kertas ini, Aiden. Tanda tangani saja surat perceraian kita lalu ceraikan aku." Aiden memalingkan kepalanya. "Apa yang baru saja kau katakan? Sebuah perceraian, hm? Tidak semudah itu, Sayang. Siapa yang memberi ide di kepalamu kalau aku akan melepaskanmu?"

“Wendy, are you absolutely sure you want to sign this document?” The Elder’s voice rang in my ears—cold, distant. “Once your bond with Alpha John is dissolved, you’ll lose everything tied to the Blackthorn Pack.” I gripped the pen so hard my knuckles turned white. “Yes. I’m sure.” But just as the tip touched the paper— BANG! The door was kicked open with a violent crash. Alpha John stormed in, eyes bloodshot, and wrapped his hand around my throat. “You dare?!” Blood slipped from the corner of my lips… but I laughed. Because I knew—he would never discover the truth. That his dear uncle, Alpha Vincent, was hiding in my closet at this very moment. And the fresh bite mark on my lower belly… still burned from last night. As if fate was mocking me, my sweet little sister Penny sent a message right then: “Sis, wanna know a secret? That miscarriage you had? John planned it. He made it happen.” Then the TV flickered to life with a breaking live broadcast— There she was, Penny, gently stroking her swollen belly as she smiled into the camera. “John and I are expecting our baby next month,” she announced proudly to the entire Pack. And Alpha John—my “husband”—stood beside her, lovingly kissing her forehead. Like I never existed. Like I wasn’t the Luna written in law. “Miranda,” my wolf snarled in my head, “Rip those traitors apart—now!” But I didn’t. I wiped the blood from my mouth, and dialed the number I hadn’t called in five long years. “Vincent,” I said calmly, “Come get me.”
