Ito Ito No Mi

I stand in the hospital after my two older brothers decline all 99 of my phone calls. They finally appear, bringing with them the biological sister they found. My gentle eldest brother, who had once rescued me from my so-called abusive parents, raises his hand and slaps me across the face. "Cynthia, you're actually pretending to have a terminal illness just to compete with Sarah for our affection? And you came to this kind of place to frighten us?" I clutch my swollen cheek and listen as my second brother, who always says he'll trust me no matter what, holds Sarah in his arms and laughs out loud. "Are you trying to fake being sick to get our attention after seeing that Sarah is in poor health? "Just cut the act. You've been living in luxury since childhood and have always been in perfect health. How could you possibly be ill?" Sarah Crawford speaks up thoughtfully, "Don't blame her, you two. I think she just feels like I've stolen away your love for her, which is why she has become so unreasonable..." I look at the two brothers who have doted on me for ten years and suddenly feel that nothing matters anymore. After all, I only have seven days left to live. In seven days, everything will return to normal after my departure. But by then, they'll be the ones unable to accept it.

"I, Conrad Alaric, Alpha of the Shadow pack, break every bond that I share with you, and on this day reject you as my mate." Hearing his words caused my eyes to shut instantly, with the whimpering that went inside of me. My wolf was sad. But , it was that day I decided to take the change, the day I put an end to begging for his love. "And what makes you think that I will come back to you so easily?" "Because... Because I think I'm deeply in love with you now, Katherine."

For three years, I played the role of a dutiful wife to my husband, Williams, until I found out I was just a mere substitute for his first love— the woman he truly loved.  When she returned, he threw divorce papers at me as if I meant nothing.  And when I refused to sign them, I was forced to donate my blood to his precious mistress, causing me to lose a child I never even knew I was carrying. Shattered and broken, I walked away with one purpose— avenging the death of my unborn child.  He realised his mistake, but it was too late. I was no longer his substitute, but a future he'll never touch.  “You were right, Williams. I was a substitute you never deserved.” 

“Lila,” I began softly, choosing my words. “About last night...” She stood abruptly, cutting me off. “Don’t. There’s nothing to apologize for. It happened.” I frowned, trying to gauge her. “So, what are you saying?” She crossed her arms, steadying herself. “I’m saying I have a deal for you.” “A deal?” “We keep seeing each other—secretly. No one has to know. No strings attached.” I stared at her, wondering if she was serious. But from the look in her eyes, I knew she was. ********** Lila Frost, a brilliant bio-genetics student and the fiercely protected sister of Alpha King Ronan, returns to Silver Lake for a quiet summer focused on her research.

As Caden remains unaware of Lila's internal struggle, Ronan uncovers the truth about their relationship—and his fury knows no bounds.

On our wedding anniversary, my husband has his intern put on the custom-made wedding gown he prepared for me. "You wouldn't have looked good in a wedding gown with your baby bump, anyway. She's saving us trouble by wearing the gown for you. Think about how kind she is!" Before I can rebuke him, an earthquake happens. I lose my balance and fall to the floor. Instantly, I feel moisture on my legs. At the same time, my husband received a call from his intern. "There are so many frogs here, Mr. Quinn.

La infancia de Adrián Rivas estuvo marcada por su primer amor. Pero cuando ella murió, él me odió durante diez largos años. Al día siguiente de nuestra boda, pidió ser enviado a una misión en la frontera. Durante una década le escribí incontables cartas, intentando acercarme una y otra vez… pero su respuesta siempre era la misma: —Si de verdad te sientes culpable… entonces muérete pronto. Hasta que un día fui secuestrada. Y él, solo y sin refuerzos, irrumpió en el escondite de los criminales para salvarme, recibiendo varias balas por mí. Antes de morir, con sus últimas fuerzas, me apartó bruscamente la mano y dijo: —Lo que más me arrepiento en esta vida… es haberte tomado por esposa. Si existiera otra vida… te ruego, no vuelvas a buscarme. En el funeral, la madre de Adrián lloraba de arrepentimiento. —Hijo mío, ha sido culpa mía… yo no debí obligarte. Su padre, lleno de odio, me gritó entre lágrimas: —Mataste a Clara, y ahora también a mi hijo. ¡Eres una desgraciada! ¿Porqué no te mueres tú también? Incluso el comandante, que insistió para que nos casáramos, bajó la cabeza con remordimiento. —Fue mi error, no debí separar a dos enamorados… Le fallé al camarada Adrián. Todos lamentaban la muerte de Adrián, incluyéndome a mí. Esa misma noche, fui expulsada del ejército y quedé sin ningún rumbo. En medio de la nada, en un campo solitario, bebí veneno y morí. Pero al abrir los ojos otra vez… regresé al día antes de nuestra boda. Esta vez, decidí cumplirles el deseo a todos.
