After risking my life to save my Alpha heir mate Ethan and his father from the devastating rogue attack, I devoted three years to watching over him. I stayed by his side through his physical rehabilitation until he could shift again, selling my handmade healing potions to cover the pack's financial shortfalls. I never left, never gave up, handling everything personally until the Northern Pack finally reclaimed its position at the top. But on the night of the victory celebration, standing beside him was his first love—the woman who had once abandoned him. A reporter held up a microphone and asked, "We heard Miss Victoria left you three years ago to go overseas. Now that she's back, how do you feel about her?" He smiled softly, his gaze tender as he looked at the woman beside him. "She is the most important person in my life." That night, I had a lawyer draft the mate bond severance papers. Since she's the most important, I'll step aside.

To save the three most important men in my life, I made a deal with the Moon Goddess. Trade my life for theirs. If I could make any one of them truly love me within five years, I'd get to live. But on the final day of the countdown, all three still had negative feelings toward me. According to the rules, I'd failed. My life was about to be erased. "Moon Goddess, could I send one last message? One final try?" Maybe out of pity, she granted me this last attempt. This message was my final shot. I hit the voice button in our group chat, fighting to keep my voice steady. "Could you guys love me just a little? I'm really going to die." After a moment of silence came their merciless laughter. "You'll do anything to compete with Lidia for attention, won't you?" "Cut the lies. This just makes us hate you more." "If you're so desperate to die, then just do it already." Mission failed. I gave them exactly what they wanted. But when I was about to die, they all freaked out.

When I was three years old, my twin brothers, Silas and Julian, nearly died in an explosion while trying to save me. The Vampire King happened to pass by and turned them into high-ranking vampires. He had wanted to turn me too, so our family could stay together forever, but they refused. The King's power was too overwhelming, they said-the transformation would be agonizing. So they promised to turn me themselves when I turned eighteen. They spent every last penny they had on an impossibly rare serum-a blood-calming agent that would ensure I survived the transformation safely. But six months ago, they brought home a fifteen-year-old human orphan named Elena. Silas snatched my serum and handed it to Elena, his voice cold as ice. "You're strong enough to endure the transformation on your own. Elena is far more fragile than you-she needs this more." Julian's face twisted with undisguised contempt. He pointed at the door and snarled, "Get out! Don't come back until you learn to share!" I didn't say a word. I picked up the suitcase I'd already packed and disappeared into the rainy night. They assumed I was just throwing a tantrum. They figured I'd come crawling back in a few days. To celebrate ridding themselves of their "burden," they took the orphan on a vacation to the Caribbean coast-the trip I'd been dreaming about for years. But when they returned to the castle two weeks later, they were stunned to discover that I had undergone the Vampire King's transformation personally. Not only that-I had voluntarily signed a hundred-year agreement to join a classified isolation research project studying resistance to holy silver and crucifixes. A century of solitary confinement. I was never coming back. That day, they completely fell apart.

A week before our marking ceremony, I told Ethan Stormwind I wanted to break up at his friend's party. Everyone laughed. They all knew that for the past six years, my life's goal had been to become his marked Luna. With only a week left until the ceremony, how could I possibly want to break up? Even Ethan thought I was being unreasonable. "Just because I need to take Selene to the healer for her follow-up on our ceremony day, you're throwing a tantrum about breaking up?" "We're both adults. Can you act more mature? You could just reschedule the ceremony. Why do you insist on that specific day? I don't have time for your jealous games." I nodded silently. Yes, something needed to be changed. But it wasn't the ceremony date. It was him. I was going to accept someone else's mark instead.

Nineteen year old Wyoming Wilson was a down-on-her luck actress who had mistakenly thought that she was finally being given a shot to stardom when she received a call slip for an audition in a church wedding scene. She showed up and did the major role of the bride, only to learn later that it was an actual wedding - her wedding! She wanted to run and flee but her groom was fast. He was quick to remind her, "You have been paid already. " Anxiously, Wyoming looked at her groom with pleading eyes, "I- I could return the money." She offered but her heart sank when the groom whispered. "If you can pay me triple the amount I paid you."

Damien se divorciou da ex-esposa há cinco anos e então se casou comigo. Quando nos casamos, ele tinha uma filha adotiva de treze anos chamada Lily. Depois do nosso casamento, Damien sempre me tratou excepcionalmente bem. Eu sempre tratei Lily como se fosse minha própria filha. Mesmo quando ela demonstrava certa hostilidade comigo de vez em quando, eu não me importava, isso é normal para uma adolescente. Até que meu pai foi atropelado em um acidente e ficou em estado vegetativo. Foi então que, por acaso, ouvi uma conversa entre Damien e seu assistente. — Chefe, eu não entendo. Por que bloquear a craniotomia? — o assistente perguntou, confuso. — Os médicos disseram que há uma grande chance de ele se recuperar. Por que o senhor insiste no tratamento conservador? — Ele não pode acordar — a voz de Damien saiu baixa, carregada de dor. — Ele viu o rosto da Lily. Tapei a boca com a mão, as unhas cravando na minha pele. Lily é filha adotiva de Damien e de sua falecida ex-esposa, Sarah. Sarah morreu salvando Damien, e desde então ele sempre tratou Lily com uma mistura de culpa e indulgência absoluta. Damien continuou, o tom cheio de conflito: — Mas a Lily não fez isso de propósito! Ela tem só treze anos... Se tiver uma ficha criminal, a vida dela estará acabada. O último desejo da Sarah, antes de morrer, foi que eu cuidasse da Lily e a visse crescer em segurança. Eu não posso desistir dela. O assistente ficou em silêncio por alguns segundos. — E quanto à sua esposa? — Eu vou compensá-la — a voz de Damien suavizou. — Vou dar a ela a vida mais próspera possível. Vou garantir a melhor suíte particular e os melhores cuidadores para o pai dela. Não importa quanto custe. Meu coração afundou por completo. Só porque você se sente culpado por Sarah e Lily, vai sacrificar o meu pai? Com as mãos tremendo, salvei a gravação e pedi ao meu advogado que preparasse os papéis do divórcio. Mas quando eu desapareci completamente da vida dele, o poderoso CEO enlouqueceu.

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."
