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.

After my secret crush was discovered, my adoptive uncle Kieran, who always loved me, completely became a different person. He no longer smiled at me, and he began to stay far away from me. I tried everything, even stripped naked and stood before him begging him to mark me. All I got in return was his words of rejection: disgusting. Three months later, he even brought my best friend Scarlett home and claimed her as his fiancée. Looking at the deep wariness in his eyes toward me, I suddenly smiled with relief. I agreed to my Alpha grandfather's tentative proposal for an arranged mating. But when I finally gave up him and mated to another Alpha, why did he beg me to come back?

My sister Isolde and I used to be human. The twin vampire princes, Caelum and Dorian, turned us and married us. The entire vampire world celebrated. Two human sisters, personally turned by the Crown Princes? It was the highest honor a mortal could receive. We believed we were loved. We were fools. Five months into my pregnancy, I was attacked by a group of exiled vampires in the forest beyond our territory. I called Caelum nine times. He didn’t pick up. The exiles circled me, cutting into my arms and legs with blades that burned. Pain tore through my body. I called a tenth time. This time, Caelum’s cold voice came through: “Haven’t you had enough? Vivienne is being tracked by hunters. Stop bothering me.” Vivienne was the human girl that both princes truly loved. The one who had refused to be turned. With nothing to stop them now, the exiles closed in. Their leader drove a blade into my stomach. I watched the light leave my body from the inside out, and felt my unborn child die. When I was close to death, my sister Isolde found me and fought the exiles off. But there were too many. Isolde was badly wounded. She called her husband Dorian for help. All she got was: “Looking for Vivienne. Don’t bother me.” Isolde carried me and ran. A storm hit and we were caught in the open at dawn—deadly for wounded vampires. The border patrol found us just in time. We barely survived. When I woke up in the infirmary, my first thought was simple: Sever the bond.

On the day of my first shift, my Alpha triplet adoptive brothers weren't by my side for the first time ever, because their long-lost birth sister Scarlett had returned. My doting third brother Hunter abandoned me in a forest crawling with rogue wolves and made me walk back alone. My gentle second brother Ethan slapped me across the face for Scarlett, demanding to know why I was being so vicious. Even my usually level-headed oldest brother Mason told me to get out and never come back for his birth sister's sake, without even bothering to hear my side of the story. Scarlett's sweet facade fell away when we were alone. "So what if your parents sacrificed themselves to save my brothers? They are my biological brothers. You're just a mongrel with no blood relation. Even if I drive you out, my brothers will definitely take my side." I didn't say another word. I just grabbed my bags and left. They thought I was just throwing a tantrum and would be back in a few days. The three brothers even postponed their busy pack affairs to accompany their birth sister to patrol the Northern territories – to see the snowy tundra I had always dreamed of visiting. Many days later, when they returned to the pack, they suddenly learned that I had joined a Beta Wolf Enhancement Program that would last ten years, with no contact with the outside world. When they knew that I could never come home again, they fell apart.

Damien und seine ehemalige Frau hatten sich vor fünf Jahren getrennt — ich heiratete ihn später. Als wir heiraten wollten, hatte er bereits eine dreizehnjährige Adoptivtochter namens Lily. Nach unserer Ehe zeigte Damien mir große Zuneigung, während ich Lily stets wie meine eigene Tochter behandelte. Auch wenn sie mir ab und zu Feindseligkeit entgegenbrachte, schenkte ich ihr keine Beachtung. Solches Verhalten ist für ein junges Mädchen verständlich. Als mein Vater versehentlich von einem Auto getroffen und im Wachkoma blieb, hörte ich zufällig ein Gespräch zwischen Damien und seinem Assistenten mit. „Chef, ich verstehe es nicht — warum blockiert du die Schädeloperation?“, fragte der Assistent verwirrt, „Die Ärzte gehen davon aus, dass er sich erholen kann. Warum hältst du dich an eine konservativ Behandlung fest?“ „Er darf nicht aufwachen“, sagte Damiens mit gedämpfter Stimme. „Er hat Lilys Gesicht gesehen.“ Ich presste meine Hand fest über den Mund, sodass die Fingernägel tief in mein Fleisch drangen. Lily war die Adoptivtochter von Damien und seiner verstorbenen ehemaligen Frau Sarah. Sarah starb, als sie Damien rettete — aus diesem Grund zeigte er Lily stets eine Mischung aus Schuldgefühl und völliger Nachsicht. Damien fuhr fort, seine Stimme klang unendlich wirr und zerrissen. „Aber Lily hat es nicht absichtlich getan! Sie ist erst 13 Jahre alt — einen Eintrag im Strafregister würde ihr Leben ruinieren. Sarahs letzter Wunsch war, dass ich Lily betreute und sie gesund und unversehrt erwachsen ließ. Ich kann sie nicht allein lassen.“ Der Assistent schwieg einige Sekunden. „Was passiert mit deiner Frau?“ „Ich werde ihr alles entschädigen“, sagte Damien mit sanfterer Stimme. „Ich schenke ihr ein wohlhabendes Leben und sichere für ihren Vater — der bei dem Unfall verletzt wurde — das größte Private zimmer sowie die besten Pfleger. Die Kosten spielen für mich keine Rolle.“ Mein Herz sank tief. Weil du dich Sarah und Lily schuldig fühlst, opferst du meinen Vater? Mit zitternden Händen sicherte ich die Aufzeichnung und bat meinen Anwalt, die Scheidungsvereinbarung vorzubereiten. Als ich schließlich spurlos verschwand, verlor der einst mächtige Geschäftsführer die Fassung.

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.
