Ketika ada pembunuh bayaran yang mengincar Kaisar, suamiku yang merupakan Komandan Pengawal Kekaisaran sedang berusaha menenangkan cinta pertamanya yang telah pergi karena merajuk. Aku tidak menyalakan suar isyarat yang kupegang. Sebaliknya, dalam keadaan hamil besar, aku berdiri di depan Kaisar dan menggunakan tubuhku sebagai perisai agar dia terbebas dari bahaya. Ini karena di kehidupan lampau, setelah aku menyalakan suar isyarat, suamiku meninggalkan cinta pertamanya untuk datang menyelamatkan Kaisar. Suamiku dianugerahi gelar Adipati Pelindung Kaisar atas jasanya dalam menyelamatkan Kaisar, tetapi cinta pertamanya jatuh ke dalam perangkap dan langsung meninggal di tempat. Suamiku tidak mengatakan apa pun. Namun, pada hari aku melahirkan, dia melemparku ke sarang binatang buas. Dengan wajah penuh kesedihan, aku bertanya apa alasannya berbuat seperti itu. Dia hanya melirikku dengan dingin dan menjawab, "Kaisar punya banyak pengawal, kenapa harus aku yang datang? Kamu pasti hanya peduli pada kekuasaan dan kekayaan, makanya kamu baru sengaja membuatku pergi menyelamatkannya! Kalau kamu tidak menyalakan suar isyarat, Ratna tidak akan mati! Aku mau kamu rasakan penderitaan yang berkali-kali lipat lebih parah dari yang dialami Ratna!" Pada akhirnya, aku menjadi santapan binatang buas. Bahkan anak dalam kandunganku pun dilahap habis. Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari Kaisar diincar pembunuh bayaran.

When my husband and I drop by his childhood home for Christmas dinner, my mother-in-law, Melissa Potter, is the only one busying away in the kitchen. Everyone else is on their phones. I've just taken a seat when Melissa begins to lecture me. "What, are you just going to sit your ass down and wait for food to come? Don't you know when to lend a helping hand? Am I supposed to exhaust myself for your sake?" From time to time, she keeps rattling the pots and pans loudly. "I can't believe those with healthy bodies want a 70-year-old like me to serve them! Does anyone here have any conscience?" Feeling a little uneasy, I gave my husband a tiny nudge. "Why don't you help Mom out?" After Melissa hears my suggestion, she gets even more pissed off. Thinking that this is my first Christmas with my in-laws, I don't really want to cause a scene here, so I get up to my feet and help her out. But the moment I enter the kitchen, Melissa delegates all the tasks to me. I endure my fury as much as I can while finishing the Christmas dinner preparations. When I'm about to head back to the dining table and dig in, Melissa suddenly speaks up. "Hold up. We got scores to settle before dinner."

Everyone knew that the Alpha of the Silver Moon Pack loved his mate more than anything. I once thought I would be the luckiest Luna in the world. That was until six months ago, when my father’s illegitimate daughter, Ivy, returned from rogue territory. Caleb recognized her as the she-wolf who had taken a lethal blow to save him during a rogue ambush years ago. Everything changed after that. During every date, Ivy would have a "relapse" right on cue. Caleb would always offer a strained explanation about how he owed her his life. I endured it countless times, lying to myself that it was just a debt of gratitude. But at our mating ceremony, Ivy collapsed, knocking over the champagne tower. "Caleb... it hurts... my heart..." The usually composed Caleb panicked and stopped the ceremony. He looked at me with guilt. "Evelyn, Ivy’s wolf was severely injured saving me. She’s still so fragile. It’s an emergency. You’ve always been understanding—can you just let this go for now?" "Go ahead," I said calmly. "Take her to the Healer." Caleb froze, then promised hurriedly, "Once she's stable, I’ll make it up to you with an even bigger ceremony." He didn't even wait for my reply before rushing off with Ivy in his arms. I watched him leave and dialed a number I hadn't touched in years. "Alpha King Silas, I accept the five-year classified Silver Poisoning research project." When I finally disappeared, Caleb regretted everything, searching the entire world for a trace of me.

Aku adalah penasihat terbaik Keluarga Hara, otak di balik semuanya. Hari ini, aku memutuskan untuk pergi, menyerahkan pembukuan dari semua bisnis legal yang selama ini aku kelola dan memutuskan ikatan terakhirku dengan mereka. Anak didikku tidak mengerti. "Kamu masa depan keluarga ini, Aurel. Kamu nggak bisa pergi begitu saja." Aku menggeleng dengan senyum getir. Mereka tidak tahu kalau aku sudah diam-diam menikah dengan sang bos mafia, Viktor Hara, selama tiga tahun. Aku kira penampilanku, kecerdasanku, dan semua yang sudah aku berikan kepadanya cukup untuk mendapatkan seluruh cintanya. Tiga bulan lalu, sebuah serangan di pelabuhan menunjukkan kenyataan yang sebenarnya. Aku tertembak. Keadaan sedang genting dan aku butuh dokter bedah keluarga, yang hanya bisa dipanggil dengan perintah langsung dari Viktor. Aku meneleponnya lebih dari belasan kali. Saat akhirnya dia mengangkat, yang kudengar justru suara lembut yang terengah-engah di seberang sana. "Viktor, kita belum memotong kue ulang tahunku. Kamu mau pegang tanganku dan memotongnya bersama?" Suara itu .... Itu sahabat terbaikku. Wanita yang dulu pernah disukai Viktor. Karina. Di rumah persembunyian, tubuhku melemah karena kehilangan banyak darah. Aku mencabut peluru itu sendiri, lalu menyuruh anak buahku membawaku ke klinik keluarga secepat mungkin. Tepat sebelum aku didorong masuk ke ruang operasi, Viktor menerobos masuk, sambil menggendong Karina. Pergelangan kakinya terkilir dan dia butuh dokter secepat mungkin. Dokter bedahku dibawa pergi. Antibiotik datang terlambat dan lukaku pun terinfeksi. Aku berjuang antara hidup dan mati selama seminggu. Saat akhirnya aku sadar, aku menatap ponselku. Tidak ada satu pun pesan. Air mataku pun akhirnya menetes. Aku mengerti sekarang. Aku hanyalah wanita yang terpaksa dia nikahi setelah dia dibius dan tidur denganku. Sebuah skandal yang harus ditutup. Yang dia pedulikan hanyalah nilai diriku dan reputasinya. Sedangkan aku? Putri rahasia Keluarga Suwandi, yang sudah mengorbankan segalanya untuk membangun kekuasaan suaminya. Semua itu menjadi sia-sia. Jadi, aku menyiapkan empat hadiah perpisahan. Sebuah perayaan atas kehancuran kami bersama. Setelah itu, dia tidak akan pernah melihatku lagi.

My Alpha mate Derek secretly inherited his sister-in-law Sarah after his brother's death. On the surface, I was his Luna, but in reality, Sarah was the one who truly held his heart. He praised me as the most exceptional Luna, tasking me with caring for all pack members, yet when Sarah tended to an injured male wolf, his jealousy flared so violently that he bit off the poor wolf's paw. In public, he proclaimed me as his beloved Luna to the entire pack, while keeping Sarah hidden safely in the shadows. When enemy wolves kidnapped me after discovering my identity, I desperately reached out through our mind link, begging for help. His response cut deeper than any physical wound: "Olivia, Sarah is carrying my pup. We'll tell everyone it's my brother's son. I must protect her and the baby without leaving her side for even a moment." "Just endure for a few days. Once Sarah's morning sickness improves, I'll lead all our warriors to rescue you." In the days that followed, I sent countless pleas for help through our link, but received nothing in return. Eventually, our connection shattered completely. For an entire year, those wolves imprisoned and tortured me. They broke my hind legs and ripped out my fangs, stripping me of my wolf's dignity. Derek never came for me. When I finally escaped and stumbled back to our territory, blood-soaked and broken, I discovered my daughter locked in the silver prison where rogue wolves were kept. She was being torn apart as food, her small body covered in wounds. Meanwhile, my mate—my pup's father—was joyfully celebrating the first birthday of his and Sarah's pup, announcing that Sarah's child would become the pack's heir. Tears streaming down my face, I gathered my skeletal little pup in my arms. "It’s OK, sweetie. I'll find you a better dad."

Jason Reed had been my boyfriend for seven years. He suddenly disappeared, and the last place I was able to trace him was Melvaris. That night, I received a video call. In it, a man holding an electric baton yelled, “Bring 50 million dollars as ransom to the industrial zone. Otherwise, don’t expect him to return alive.” Jason was beside the man. He was covered in blood. He pleaded desperately, “Clara! Save me! They promise to let me go if we give them the money!” Without thinking twice, I did as I was told. However, when I arrived, I was drugged and knocked unconscious. In the end, I was tortured to death. What hurt the most was not that. Jason took one-third of the ransom I had prepared. Then, he returned to Caldovia and married Hannah Blake, the student who had received financial assistance from my family. But when I opened my eyes again, I found myself back on the day he went missing.
