Karma Does Exist

— Ah... Mais devagar, meu marido está me ligando. Com o rosto em chamas, peguei o celular e atendi à chamada em vídeo. Do outro lado da linha, meu marido, com os olhos fixos, dava uma ordem atrás da outra. Ele não percebia que, fora do enquadramento, a cabeça de um jovem se movia inquieta entre minhas pernas.

An unserem Hochzeitstag ließ mein Freund Hayden Grant mich aus der Kapelle hinauswerfen. Stattdessen schritt er Hand in Hand mit seiner Jugendliebe zum Altar. Ich ging zurück hinein und brach am Rand des Mittelgangs zusammen. Der Brautstrauß glitt mir aus den Händen, die Blütenblätter verteilten sich überall. Doch sein Blick streifte mich nicht einmal für eine halbe Sekunde. „Selenas Kind braucht einen Vater. Sobald das erledigt ist, heirate ich dich.“ Alle dachten, ich sei eine verblendete Närrin und würde bereitwillig noch einen Monat warten. Schließlich hatte ich bereits sieben Jahre auf ihn gewartet. Doch in dieser Nacht tat ich etwas, das niemand erwartet hatte. Ich stimmte der arrangierten Ehe zu, die meine Eltern vorgeschlagen hatten, und verließ das Land. Drei Jahre später kehrte ich zurück, um meine Eltern zu besuchen. Mein Ehemann William Fields war CEO eines internationalen Konzerns. Als ein unerwartetes, wichtiges Meeting anstand, bat er mich, schon mal zur Firmenniederlassung in meiner Heimat vorauszufliegen. Dort würden sich seine Untergebenen um mich kümmern. Zu meiner Überraschung war einer dieser Untergebenen Hayden – der Mann, den ich seit drei Jahren nicht mehr gesehen hatte. Sein Blick wanderte sofort zu dem funkelnden Diamanten an meinem Ringfinger. „Ist das eine Fälschung von diesem rosa Diamanten, den Herr Fields für fünf Millionen Euro für seine Frau gekauft hat? Ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass du nach all den Jahren so eitel geworden bist.“ „Du hast schon genug Drama gemacht. Komm nach Hause. Selenas Sohn geht jetzt zur Schule, also ist es der perfekte Zeitpunkt, dass du dich um sein Mittagessen kümmerst.“ Ich sagte kein Wort und strich nur mit den Fingerspitzen über den Ring. Er hatte keine Ahnung, dass dies der günstigste aller Edelsteine war, die William mir je geschenkt hatte.

After being reborn, the first thing I did was switch my newborn daughter. In my previous life, soon after she was born, a blood test showed her type was AB. But mine was B, and my husband's was O—there was absolutely no way we could have an AB-type child. My husband flew into a rage and demanded a paternity test on the spot. To everyone's shock, the results proved she was biologically related to me, but not to him. He slapped me hard across the face, his voice trembling with disappointment. "I've always treated you well. I only ever loved you—and this is how you repay me?" My mother-in-law wailed and cursed me for cheating, accusing me of bearing another man's child to steal their family fortune. I was completely stunned. I knew better than anyone who the father of my child was—how could she possibly not be my husband's? In no time, everyone turned against me. They called me a cheater, a tramp. My husband divorced me and went online to play the victim, stirring up a storm of hate and harassment that never seemed to end. With nowhere to go and no one left to believe me, I took my baby in my arms and jumped from a building. Even in death, I couldn't make sense of it all. And when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my daughter was born.

My secretary replaced me on my wedding day, walking down the aisle in a white wedding gown. The man I had loved for ten years threw the bridesmaid dress in my face and ordered me to wear it instead. "She is the bride now. You'll be next," he said coldly. My grandmother was so furious that she fell ill on the spot. Meanwhile, he and the secretary smiled brightly as they completed the wedding ceremony. After the grand wedding, the secretary posted photos of herself in her wedding gown on social media. The comments were overwhelmingly congratulatory. [Today is such a beautiful day, I finally got what I wanted. I hope those who try to ruin someone else's relationship will wake up soon.] She wrote. Chester Morrison replied to her post: [It is a great day. Don't ruin your good mood by some trash.] When I returned home, holding my grandmother's photo, who had passed away, I found them tangled together on the bedspread my grandmother had lovingly sewn for me, the one with a pair of Swan that symbolizes eternal love.

The seer foretells that I will mate with an Alpha and give birth to the strongest heir. Because of this, I am arranged to be mates with the Alpha heir, Chad Gibson, since I was a child. And from then on, I am groomed to become a Luna. I devote my entire youth to bleeding, fighting, and enduring it all. Every smile, every step, and every breath is for the sole purpose of becoming the perfect Luna. And yet, what do I receive in the end? On the day of the marking ceremony, Chad carries in an expecting Rogue with Omega bloodline, Yelena Lockhart. He then publicly declares that during a hunt, he accidentally consumed a lustbane and bred with Yelena. Thus, he must take responsibility and make her his future Luna. Seeing the unshakable resolve on his face, I ask in a trembling voice, "What about me? What am I supposed to do?" Without a moment's hesitation, he replies, "Tessa, because of that false prophecy, you have stolen the future Luna's place and enjoyed privileges that were never yours for long enough. Now, you must step aside. "But don't worry, I won't cast you out. As long as you keep serving Yelena as her maid in atonement, you may still stay by my side." The world falls into dead silence, and the stares of the pack weigh on me like a mountain. I neither scream nor beg. Instead, I simply remove my veil and return the ring that symbolizes the future Luna. Later, when Yelena gives birth, the pup turns out to be of Omega bloodline. Only then does Chad realize the prophecy is true, that I alone can bear the Alpha heir destined to lead. But when Chad finally regrets everything and begs me to come back, it is already too late. I have already accepted the Alpha King's proposal and no longer belong to Chad.
