My fiancé leaves me jilted on our wedding day and marries my sister. As I stand there, feeling humiliated, William Sterling gets on one knee before me and asks me to marry him. Everyone in my city knows of him—he's an elite bachelor and every woman's dream. Yet now, he slips a wedding band onto my ring finger and confesses his love for me. "I've always loved you, and I thank the heavens for giving me the chance to spend my life with you." We get married, and he treats me well. Everyone knows that he won't fall for anyone other than me. Everything changes when I accidentally enter his studio in the seventh year of our marriage. I see that he's painted thousands of portraits of my sister, Ivy Winslow. Each one is a tender confession of his love for her. The man I love with all my heart earnestly prays to the heavens and utters his wish. He's willing to sacrifice anything for Ivy to be happy, including his life. It turns out what I thought was seven years of love was nothing but a lie. Ivy is the one he's loved all along. If that's the case, I'll back out. I'll leave in three days, and I hope he and Ivy can be happy together.

On the day Andrew Selwyn is elected as the pack's Beta, we promise to have our bonding ceremony a month later. Seven days away from the ceremony, he suddenly decides to pursue his first love, Lucy Grimm. He wants to make up for the time they had lost apart. If he gets back together with Lucy, he hopes I will give them my blessing. If he can't win her over, he'd let go of his obsession and return to complete the ceremony. He'd spend the rest of his life loving and protecting me. Gazing at his sincere expression, I smile and say, "Alright. As long as it makes you happy, I won't stop you." The moment he turns and leaves, I can no longer hold back my tears. All along, Andrew's heart belonged to someone else. Later, I contact my best friend, Selena Jones, through the mind link. "My bonding ceremony has been canceled," I say flatly, my voice thick with helplessness. "Didn't you want me to lead the research team at your institute out of town? I'll do it. When do we leave?"

Beberapa dongeng mempunyai akhir bahagia, beberapa lagi memiliki akhir yang tragis, tapi ada juga beberapa dongeng yang tidak pernah benar-benar tamat. Sebut saja kisah seorang putra mahkota yang tidak pernah dinobatkan menjadi raja, seorang adik yang mengejar balas dendam semu, seorang putri teratai yang tidak pernah menjadi bunga teratai, atau kisah kakak beradik yang dibuang tanpa remah roti. Sekian lama luntang-lantung tanpa ada kepastian, dongeng-dongeng tersebut tanpa sengaja bersatu demi mencapai tujuan yang sama. Berada dalam satu kubu yang sama. Serta berjuang melawan musuh yang sama. Rebutlah akhir bahagia itu, karena kegelapan tidak pantas mendapatkannya.

I died on the day I was supposed to form a mate bond with Alpha Ragnar. Since I did not show up, he went ahead and performed the ceremony with his childhood sweetheart, Nina. “Selena has already been marked by me, yet she still threw caution to the wind and cheated with a rogue. Her betrayal has brought shame upon us. She’s not worthy of being the pack’s Luna!” With just one careless sentence, Ragnar made my family a disgrace of the pack. My father was once a great warrior of the pack. He lost his wolf saving Ragnar, only to be drowned in a river as punishment for supposedly failing to discipline his own daughter. Our blood bond allowed me to feel his pain. However, I had been locked in a sealed, abandoned interrogation room—a silver cage. The mechanism inside was accidentally triggered, and thick poisonous gas filled the space. It killed me slowly and painfully. After my soul left my body, I appeared beside Ragnar and heard him say to Nina, “Thanks for your help today. If Selena hadn’t acted so foolishly, you wouldn’t have had to take her place in the ceremony. Ever since I marked her, she’s been getting bolder, thinking my affection gives her a free pass. How dare she skip such an important ceremony?!” However, the noble Alpha Ragnar seemed to have forgotten something. Just seven days ago, he threw me into a silver cage meant only for the most dangerous criminals to appease Nina. “You hurt Nina, so you must face the consequences. Take these three days to reflect. If you still won't admit your mistake, then don’t even think about ever leaving this place for the rest of your life.” I waited three days and then three more. The poisonous gas and silver ate away at my body, corroding me from the outside in. I endured seven days of unbearable pain before I finally died. When my body was found, it had been so ravaged by the poison that I was unrecognizable. As for the arrogant Alpha? He had completely lost his mind.

A young, beautiful she-wolf moves into the house opposite mine. She always strikes up conversations with me, her tone filled with enthusiasm. "You and Mr. Howl have such a great relationship. Even after seven years of marriage, he still kisses you goodbye when he leaves. It’s so sweet." She blinks playfully before continuing, "I have a friend who constantly complains about his mate. He says every time he kisses her, it feels like he's kissing a fat pig. Her scent disgusts him, and he can't even get hard when she's around. "And at night… just the sight of her belly rolls and sagging skin makes him want to throw up." I don’t particularly like this she-wolf, but I still offer her a polite smile. That night, however, when my mate kisses me, he suddenly freezes—then pushes me away and runs to the bathroom to vomit.

Mon père est le Bêta de la meute, et notre famille possède une tradition qui consiste à marier une fille à un Roi Alpha. La veille du mariage, pour sauver ma demi-sœur, j'entre dans le Nid Sauvage, un lieu de rassemblement pour les loups solitaires. Le lendemain, pendant la cérémonie de lien de compagnon, une vidéo de moi en train d'être violée par des loups solitaires est montrée au public. Le roi Alpha, furieux, refuse de me marquer, et ma demi-sœur Emma devient la Luna à ma place. Je deviens une salope aux yeux des membres de la meute, et ils exigent que je sois exilée pour satisfaire les loups solitaires jour et nuit, oubliant que je subis leurs représailles pour protéger la meute ! Alors que je souffre au point de m'effondrer, Antoine, le frère du roi Alpha, me fait la cour : « Sophie, je t'ai toujours aimée en silence, et au nom de la lune, j'aimerais être ton compagnon permanent. » Très émue, je choisis de devenir sa compagne. Un an après le mariage, le médecin de la meute me dit que je pourrais concevoir un petit loup-garou. Je suis impatiente de voir Antoine, mais je surprends accidentellement une conversation entre lui et son subordonné. « Antoine, à l'époque, on a aidé les loups solitaires à s'introduire dans la meute, et a utilisé Emma pour piéger Sophie dans le Nid Sauvage, et a même laissé les loups solitaires diffuser la vidéo où elle était violée. Sophie est si gentille avec toi maintenant, nous avons fait quelque chose de mal à ce moment-là, non ? » Antoine soupire : « Il fallait la sacrifier pour qu'Emma puisse épouser mon frère. » « Elle a tellement souffert, je passerai ma vie à me rattraper. »

Some fairy tales have happy endings, some have tragic ones, but there are also some fairy tales that never really end. Let's say, the story of a crown prince who was never crowned, a younger brother who pursued pseudo revenge, a lotus princess who never became a lotus flower, or the story of siblings who were banished without breadcrumbs. For a long time hanging around without any certainty, the tales accidentally unite to achieve the same goal. Being in the same side. Fight against the same enemy. Seize the happy ending, because the darkness doesn't deserve it.

Namun, Kemilau tidak pernah menduga kebenaran yang selama ini ia cari malah membuat Kemilau semakin tersiksa.
