That night, Liam served me my usual evening tea. I trusted him completely—he was my mate, after all, and a respected healer of Thornpack. I shouldn't have. When I woke up the next morning, my head was spinning. The special safe where I kept the morphing inhibitor—the one I'd spent my entire savings to import from Europe for our daughter Isla—was empty. Racing to the healing center, I found Liam celebrating. He was handing out moon-blessed wine, beaming with pride as Natalie's daughter Anna showed off her perfect transformation. My inhibitor had been used on his first love's pup instead of our own daughter. The shock triggered something in my brain. When I collapsed, they diagnosed me with the rare tumor that plagued our kind. Without inhibitors, I couldn't stop Isla's transformation that came early, her six year old body couldn't handle the massive wolf form and the force ripped through her young body. And I, for one, don't even have enough money to keep her in a treatment center. She died in my arms three days later, her little claws drawing blood as the pain overwhelmed her. Until her last breath, she kept asking why Papa hadn't come. Now, in my cold, empty home, with the white porcelain urn containing her ashes on the table, I touch her and decide to sever our partnership.

J’aurais dû être la future Alpha Femelle de la Meute du Nord, mais mon compagnon, l’Alpha Roi Adam Bertrand, m’a demandé d’y renoncer. Il insistait pour que je reste collée à lui jour et nuit, affirmant qu’il ne survivrait pas sans le contact de sa compagne. Je l’aimais si profondément que j’ai accepté. Pendant sept ans, j’ai été à la fois sa parfaite Luna et une Bêta compétente, renforçant sa meute jour après jour. Je pensais que tout en valait la peine, tout le monde savait qu’Adam m’aimait à en mourir. Comme j’ai du mal à dormir, il a dépensé 10 millions de dollars pour acheter du précieux « thé de la lune » auprès d’une sorcière afin que je puisse enfin trouver le repos. Mais ils ignorent que, chaque nuit, dès que je m’endors, Adam amène Sarah—l’oméga de notre cuisine—dans notre lit. Le même loup qui m’appelait « Petite lune » la prenait juste à côté de mon corps inconscient. Le jour où le médecin m’a annoncé que j’attendais des jumeaux, j’ai tout découvert. J’ai retenu la brûlure dans mon cœur et ma poitrine, et d’un regard fatigué, j’ai murmuré à la Déesse de la Lune : « Déesse, je veux quitter ce monde. » « Es-tu prête à tout abandonner, mon enfant ? » J’ai doucement caressé mon ventre avant d’acquiescer fermement. La déesse a poussé un soupir et a dit : « Dans trois jours, je viendrai te chercher. »

When the criminal tortured me to death, I was three-month pregnant. But my husband Mark - the city's most prominent detective - was at the hospital with his first love Emma, accompanying her for her medical checkup. Three days ago, he demanded me to donate my kidney to Emma. When I refused, telling him I was two months pregnant with our child, his eyes had turned cold. "Stop lying," he had snarled. "You're just being selfish, trying to let Emma die." He pulled over on the dark highway. "Get out," he ordered. "Walk home since you're so heartless. " I stood there in the darkness and was kidnapped by the vengeful criminal, whom Mark had once imprisoned. He cut out my tongue. With cruel satisfaction, he used my phone to call my husband. Mark's response was brief and cold: "Whatever it is, Emma's medical checkup is more important! She needs me right now." The criminal let out a dark chuckle. "Well, well... Seems like the great detective values his ex's life more than his current wife's." When Mark arrived at the crime scene hours later, he was horrified by the brutality inflicted on the corpse. He angrily condemned the murderer for treating a pregnant woman so cruelly But he didn't recognize that the mutilated body before him was his own wife - me.

J’ai passé six mois et plus de 20 000 € pour planifier des vacances familiales. Cependant, lorsque la première amoureuse de mon compagnon, Victoria, a appris notre voyage, elle a supplié à nous rejoindre. Alexandre n’a pas hésité.

Il m’a forcée à voyager seule à travers le territoire mortel de la Meute d’Ombre - un trajet de trente-six heures où trois loups étaient morts le mois dernier. Toute la famille a soutenu la décision d’Alexandre sans penser à ma sécurité. Alors j’ai changé mes plans de voyage. Je suis partie vers le nord au lieu du sud. J’ai passé trois mois à m’amuser, ignorant leurs messages de lien mental. C’est à ce moment-là que la famille a commencé à paniquer...

Saat penjahat menyiksa aku hingga mati, aku sudah hamil tiga bulan. Namun suamiku, Marcell Wijaya, seorang detektif paling terkemuka di kota ini, sedang berada di rumah sakit bersama cinta pertamanya, Emilia Nessi, menemani dia menjalani pemeriksaan kesehatan. Tiga hari sebelumnya, ia memintaku menyumbangkan ginjal untuk Emilia. Ketika aku menolak dan mengatakan bahwa aku telah dua bulan mengandung anak kami, tatapannya berubah menjadi dingin. “Berhenti berbohong,” ujarnya dengan suara bergetar sambil menahan marah. “Kamu cuma egois, mau membiarkan Emilia mati.” Ia menghentikan mobil di jalan raya yang gelap. “Keluar,” perintahnya. “Kalau kamu setega itu, pulanglah jalan kaki.” Aku berdiri di kegelapan lalu diculik oleh penjahat yang dendam karena pernah dipenjara oleh Marcell. Ia memotong lidahku. Dengan kepuasan kejam, ia menggunakan ponsel aku untuk menelepon suamiku. Namun jawaban Marcell singkat dan dingin, “Apa pun itu, pemeriksaan kesehatan Emilia lebih penting! Dia butuh aku sekarang.” Penjahat itu tertawa jahat. “Nah, nah… sepertinya detektif hebat itu lebih menghargai hidup mantan cintanya daripada istri sahnya.” Beberapa jam kemudian, ketika Marcell sampai di tempat kejadian, dia ketakutan melihat kekejaman yang diterapkan pada tubuh yang telah dimutilasi. Ia marah dan menyalahkan pembunuh karena terlalu kejam terhadap wanita hamil. Namun ia tak menyadari bahwa tubuh yang dimutilasi di hadapannya adalah istrinya sendiri, aku.
