Karma

My adopted sister, Rebecca Lawson, steals the gift I painstakingly prepared for the Don and presents it at a family gathering. Everyone in the room is stunned. So, my parents turned what was supposed to be my engagement party into a celebration banquet for Rebecca. They sit together and raise their champagne glasses to toast her, while I collapse alone in the bathroom, hitting my head and bleeding out. After regaining some consciousness, I use all my strength to call them for help, but only the mafia's consigliere and my fiance—Yves Gilbert—answers my calls. "Tessa, why didn't you come to Rebecca's celebration? She felt hurt by your absence! I know you've always been jealous that she could easily gain everyone's affection, but it's what she deserves. "Quickly come over and apologize to Rebecca. Don't disappoint us any further." Yves hangs up the phone after saying that. I stare at the darkened phone screen with an unsightly smile. They don't know that the gift I have prepared for the Don is still a half-finished product and needs to be repaired. However, I don't have the time to tell them. Because I am about to die of illness.

While they slice me apart, I desperately call my brother, Nathan Slade. He finally picks up as my consciousness starts to slip and answers in an annoyed voice, "What now?" "Nathan, help—" I don't get to finish before he cuts me off. "Can't you ever go a day without drama? Gemma's graduation is at the end of the month. Miss it, and I swear I'll kill you!" Then, he hangs up without a second thought. The agonizing pain swallows me whole, and my eyes close for good, tears still trailing down my cheeks. Well, good news, Nathan… You won't have to kill me because I'm already dead.

Kamu pernah dengar manusia kelabang? Pertama-tama, siapkan sepuluh ribu kelabang dewasa yang masih hidup. Tambahkan 13 gadis perawan. Pada bulan agustus, masukkan mereka semua ke dalam ruangan tertutup yang terbuat dari batu, tanpa diberi makan dan minum. Tiga puluh hari kemudian, sepuluh ribu kelabang dewasa dan para gadis itu akan berubah menjadi sesuatu yang berbeda.

Two months after I died, it finally occurred to my parents that they'd forgotten to bring me back from their trip. My father scowled in frustration. "She was supposed to walk back herself. Does she really need to make such a big deal out of it?" My brother, ever smug, opened our chat and sent an emoji, along with a message. [You'd better die out there. That way, Scarlett and I will split Grandma's inheritance.] He received no reply. With a frosty expression, my mother said, "Tell her if she shows up for her grandmother's birthday on time, I'll let the whole pushing-Scarlett-into-the-water thing go." They never believed I hadn't made it out of those woods. After digging six feet into the ground, they finally found my bones deep in the forest.

No one knew that I was the Thorn pack’s head Alpha’s soulmate. He and Carol, who had been best friends since they were kids, were very close. Everyone in the pack thought they were soulmates while I was just a mistress threatening their bond. To protect Carol’s reputation, Barnett lied to the pack, claiming Carol was carrying his pup. This made our child illegitimate. When I confronted him in pain, demanding why, he explained, “Carol is known for her gentle and quiet nature. If our packmates knew she was pregnant without a mate, they would shame her. She's too fragile to go through all this.” For the first time, I looked at the man I thought was my mate and questioned if the Moon Goddess had made a mistake. Later on, while Barnett was away gathering herbs for Carol, the elders forced me to terminate my pregnancy, branding our pup as a disgrace to the Thorn pack. By the time Barnett returned, our pup was gone, and so was I.

Aku meninggal pada hari pernikahanku dengan Bradley. Karena aku tak kunjung tiba, dia marah besar dan menikahi Michelle, sahabat masa kecilnya. Di depan semua orang, dia menyatakan dengan lantang, "Beatrice berselingkuh sebelum menikah dan telah mengundurkan diri dari pertunangan!" Ibuku hancur oleh fitnah itu. Dia mengalami serangan jantung di tempat dan meninggal dunia. Namun dia lupa bahwa demi membela Michelle, dialah yang melukai lenganku dengan pisau dan mengurungku di ruang bawah tanah selama sepuluh hari sepuluh malam. Aku memohon dengan segala cara, tetapi yang kudapat darinya hanyalah kata-kata dingin. "Tetaplah di sini beberapa hari, rasakan sendiri penderitaan yang kamu timbulkan pada Michelle! Sekalian hancurkan niat jahatmu!" Namun, ketika dia akhirnya menemukan jasadku yang telah membusuk dan dimakan belatung, dia menjadi gila.

Sejak hamil, suamiku tidak mau menyentuhku lagi. Sementara itu, hasrat dalam diriku makin besar. Setiap malam, pikiranku menjadi liar. Sampai suatu saat, seorang pria bertopeng menyelinap masuk ke rumahku.

Pendant cinq ans, mon compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Kaël, et moi avons vécu 98 cérémonies de marquage. Et chaque fois, ses crocs s'arrêtaient juste avant de m'atteindre le cou. Tout ça parce que l'Oméga qu'il disait considérer « comme une sœur » s'évanouissait toujours au moment parfaitement choisi. Lors de la 99ᵉ cérémonie, cette Oméga s'est de nouveau « blessée ». « Je te jure que je terminerai le marquage la prochaine fois », a dit Kaël en soulevant l'autre louve dans ses bras, sans même me jeter un regard. J'ai alors brûlé la robe de Luna que j'avais portée 99 fois, puis j'ai remis ma robe royale de princesse du Royaume d'Ombrelune. Ensuite, j'ai brisé le lien du destin et je suis partie sans me retourner. Ce n'est qu'au moment où Kaël a été frappé par une douleur brûlante et qu'il m'a suppliée de revenir que le Chaman lui a dit froidement : « Elle est une vraie princesse. Et toi, tu n'as jamais été digne d'elle. »

Aku mati, tapi tidak mati total. Aku tidak tau bagaimana keadaanku sekarang, aku tidak perlu makan, ataupun tidur. Aku sadar, tapi tidak bisa menggerakkan tubuhku. Sekelilingku gelap gulita, tidak ada yang bisa kuajak bicara. Aku hampir gila! Aku tidak tau keadaan seperti ini berlangsung berapa lama. Ketika aku kira keadaan bakal terus begini, tiba-tiba terdengar suara ketukan.
