À neuf mois de grossesse, j'étais dans la phase finale de mon terme, et mon corps était lourd d'un bébé qui devait naître d'un jour à l'autre. Mais mon mari, Victor Falcon, sous-chef de la famille, m'a enfermée. Il m'a retenue dans une salle médicale souterraine stérile et m'a injecté un agent suppresseur de l'accouchement. Alors que je hurlais à l'agonie, il m'a froidement dit de le supporter. Parce que la veuve de son frère, Charlotte, devait accoucher exactement au même moment. Un serment de sang qu'il avait fait avec son défunt frère stipulait que le fils premier-né hériterait du lucratif territoire de la famille. « Cet héritage appartient à l'enfant de Charlotte. » a-t-il déclaré. « Gabriel étant parti, elle est totalement seule et démunie. Tu as tout mon amour, Élisa. J'ai juste besoin qu'elle puisse accoucher en toute sécurité. Ensuite, ce sera ton tour. » La drogue était un tourment constant et angoissant. Je l'ai supplié de m'emmener à l'hôpital. Il m'a prise à la gorge, me forçant à croiser son regard glacial. « Arrête de faire semblant ! Je sais que tu vas bien. Tu essaies juste de voler l'héritage. » « Pour devancer Charlotte, tu ne reculeras devant rien. » Mon visage est devenu cendreux, mon corps s'est convulsé et j'ai réussi à murmurer désespérément. « Le bébé arrive, je me fiche de l'héritage, je t'aime et je veux que notre enfant naisse en toute sécurité ! » Il a ricané. « Si tu étais vraiment si innocente, tu n'aurais pas forcé Charlotte à signer ce contrat, renonçant aux droits d'héritage de son enfant. » « Ne t'inquiète pas, je reviendrai te chercher quand elle aura accouché. » Il a veillé toute la nuit devant la salle d'accouchement de Charlotte. Ce n'est qu'après avoir vu le nouveau-né dans ses bras qu'il s'est souvenu de moi. Il a finalement envoyé son second, Marc, pour me libérer. Mais quand Marc a appelé, sa voix tremblait. « Patron... la madame et le bébé... ils sont partis ». A ce moment-là, Victor Falcon s'est effondré.

Evonne Shannon was a poor student mother sponsored. She was also the crush I had been courting for a long time. Wanting to allow her to shine, I gave up my place in the piano competition for her. However, she glared at me with disdain for deciding this on my own. She then instantly turned around and handed the registration form to her boyfriend, Angelo Zambrano, and said, "Ange, only you deserve this competition." Evonne liked sports cars, so I begged my mother to buy her a limited-edition McLaren supercar. But in return, Evonne mocked me and called me shallow. "Don't think I'll accept you just because I'm accepting the car, Chase Shannon. You've never understood me." With my help, Evonne got to put on a facade of a mysterious billionaire's daughter. But the moment she got money from me, she turned around and went on a romantic getaway with Angelo. I thought of Evonne as my everything and even asked my mother to arrange for her to join the family company. Within half a year, she was promoted to a core team member. She then conspired with Angelo to drain the company dry and even forced me to my death. "What else can you do besides insult me with money and a materialistic lifestyle, Chase? You're the most disgusting obstacle on my path to success. Only when you're dead can I marry Ange," she declared. I was heartbroken when I heard this, and that was when Evonne pushed me off the sidewalk and into traffic. Immediately after that incident, I was reincarnated to the day I bought Evonne a piano. She was glaring at me with disdain. "If you don't want to buy it, just say so. There's no need to humiliate me like this." I let out a dismissive scoff. "Am I the one who's humiliating you, or are you the shameless one? You beg for food but complain that it's cold. You're worse than those stray dogs on the streets. At least they show gratitude after getting scraps."

I'd had a crush on my brother's best friend, Ethan—the most powerful Alpha of our Northern Territory—since I was twelve years old. When I was fifteen, I boldly confessed my feelings to him. He laughed and patted my head, casually promising, "When you turn eighteen and shift, if you're my mate, I'll mark you." That offhand promise became my greatest hope for three years. I spent every day waiting for my wolf to awaken, praying to the Moon Goddess that she would designate us as mates. But on the night of my eighteenth birthday, after my wolf first awakened, I was shocked to discover that Ethan truly was my mate! Ignoring the intense shifting pain coursing through my body, I immediately shifted into my wolf form and ran toward Ethan's training grounds. I clutched the gift I'd prepared long ago, but instead heard Ethan urgently confessing to his Omega assistant Victoria: "Who would be stupid enough to actually care about a true mate? The bond between her and me is just the Moon Goddess's mistake. I only love you. I'll only mark you as my Luna." The words hit me like silver bullets to the chest. My wolf whimpered in pain, the mate bond burning like acid in my veins. I stood frozen behind the trees, watching the man I'd loved for six years dismiss our sacred connection as if it meant nothing. Later, Ethan introduced Victoria as his "fiancée." When Victoria demanded that I publicly bless their marking ceremony, Ethan remained completely indifferent to my humiliation. "Sylvia should give us her blessing," Victoria announced at the pack meeting, her voice sweet as poison. "After all, she's been like a little sister to Ethan all these years." Every wolf in the room could smell my distress. But Ethan said nothing, refusing to even look at me. When rogue wolves attacked our territory and I was surrounded, Ethan didn't hesitate to scoop up Victoria—who had only a tiny scratch on her finger—and carry her away to find the pack healer. He left me bleeding and alone, silver claws ha

It was the third year of my secret relationship with Garrett, my Alpha brother's best friend. Marcus laughed and nudged Garrett playfully. "You've been with that little mate of yours for three years now. When are you going to introduce her to the pack?" I pressed myself against the doorframe, my heart racing. Had my brother figured out our secret? Garrett just laughed it off. "What mate? Just some crazy she-wolf who won't leave me alone." Marcus caught sight of me and grinned. "Sage, you see this? Never pick a mate like Garrett here." "Takes everything a female offers but won't even acknowledge the bond." Just then, more of Marcus's friends arrived, and they joined in the teasing. "Your brother's right, but Garrett's had his heart set on someone for years." "What was her name again? Oh right, Aria. She's returning to the pack soon." I'd heard that name before - Aria. But Garrett had never told me she was his true love.
