Lena X Shin

I was born to shine. But the fate had others plans for me. The moment my feet left the edge, the world fell silent. There was only wind. And peace. For one fragile heartbeat, I was free. Like a bird. Then something slammed into me from behind. Arms. Hard. Unforgiving. The impact hurled me sideways instead of down. Wood splintered. Something inside me cracked. Darkness rushed in and I welcomed it. … “Open. Your. Eyes.” The voice was quiet, slow, deliberate. It forced its way through bone and blood. An Alpha command. Pain detonated through me as air tore back into my lungs. My body convulsed against my will. I tried to sink back into the quiet—to finish what I had started. “You were NEVER given permission to die.” Power wrapped around the words like chains. My eyes snapped open. We were beyond the pack’s borders. The air felt colder. Wilder. Untouched by law or duty. For one second, I had belonged to nothing. And he had dragged me back. He loomed above me, fury carved into every sharp angle of his face. His breathing was controlled, his posture dominant - absolute. If anyone were watching from the cliffs, they would see an Alpha asserting ownership. His jaw tightened, irritated at being forced to deal with something that should have already been resolved. I had complicated his plans. “Drink.” His wrist pressed my mouth. The metallic scent hit first. I tried to clamp my lips shut. But Alpha commands do not ask. They take. My mouth opened against my will and his blood burned down my throat, spreading heat through my chest. A cruel gift. He would not even grant me the mercy of dying on my own terms. And I understood - even my death did not belong to me.

Tenía nueve meses de embarazo cuando el Consejo de Lobos envió un reporte de recursos a las habitaciones de la Luna. En él aparecían los gastos mensuales de mi compañero. Durante dos años seguidos, mi compañero del destino, el Alfa de la manada, le había estado entregando en secreto a una loba acceso al territorio, protección y suministros. Sin falta, cada mes. El primer registro era de hace dos años, el mismo mes en que perdí a mi primer cachorro. De pronto apareció una notificación: una solicitud de contacto. El nombre decía: “La compañera del Alfa”. Me sentía extrañamente tranquila; puse una mano sobre mi vientre abultado y acepté. Me escribió. “Ya viste el reporte, ¿no?” No le respondí; en su lugar, abrí su perfil. La publicación más vieja era del 21 de abril de hace dos años. Una loba aparecía apoyada en el pecho de un Alfa. Le habían recortado la cara en la foto, pero la marca en su hombro era clara. La reconocí: era la marca de Alfa de mi compañero. El texto decía: “Gracias por elegirme en mi noche de mayoría de edad”. El 21 de abril. Esa fue la noche en que me quedé desangrándome en la sala de curación, perdiendo a mi bebé. Él me había dicho que estaba fuera por asuntos de la manada. Seguí revisando sus fotos. Entrenaba libremente en áreas exclusivas para Alfas. Usaba recursos reservados para su Luna. La cuidaban como si ya fuera la pareja que debía estar a su lado. Cada publicación transmitía el mismo mensaje: él la eligió a ella. Fijado hasta arriba había un reporte médico: estaba embarazada del cachorro del Alfa. Dejé el celular y regresé a nuestra recámara. Entonces me llegaron más cosas: fotos y videos. Me los mandó a propósito, para presumir que el amor del que yo antes estaba tan orgullosa ya no era para mí. Me senté despacio mientras sentía a mi cachorro moviéndose dentro de mí y dolor me recorría. Solo entonces lo entendí: me había traicionado por completo. No quiero un amor así. No me quedaré en esta manada. Cuando nazca mi cachorro, me iré y me llevaré a su heredero conmigo. Que el Alfa busque en cada territorio, y aunque recorra cada frontera y destruya la manada por arrepentimiento, nunca nos va a encontrar.

Humans protested at all AI bases in Gradual but the AIs remained silent about the whole issue and over time their relationship began to show strains.

I had been sneaking around behind my brother’s back with Eden Smith, his best friend's brother. He pulled me close by the waist and drove us wild in all kinds of places. At bars, in the wild, and in even empty public restrooms, he was always eager for more. It was like unlocking new levels in a game. He was five years younger than me. He always called my name in his pitiful and innocent tone while gripping my waist with renewed vigor. He never let me escape. “L-let me go!”

[Is it wrong to fall in love with someone who already belongs to another?] One day, a post I stumbled upon caught my eye. The most liked comment was a brazen boast from a self-proclaimed mistress: [Dating isn't marriage. If you can steal the heart of someone taken, you deserve to keep it. If they don't love their partner enough to stay loyal, their partner is the real outsider in the relationship.] [I took my husband from another woman. He was just a broke college student back then, but I knew who he really was. He's the only son of the country's wealthiest man!] [His ex only knew how to study and work. She had no idea how to keep a man. How unfortunate! I heard she never even got her diploma. Her life must be miserable now.] I stared at the comment for a long time because I recognized the woman who wrote it. Her name was Camila. She was talking about me. Miserable? I was now a famous attorney, renowned for never having lost a case, and I had also adopted a sweet daughter. My life was anything but 'miserable'. I blocked the author of the comment and assumed our paths would never cross again. However, fate had other ideas. While taking my daughter for her passport application, I ran into some people from my past in the most dramatic way possible. Camila used her position to make things difficult for me. My ex-boyfriend Alexander stood by her side and even threatened me, phone in hand. "Apologize to my wife, or I'll have my father hire that so-called 'Victory Queen'. We'll sue you until you lose everything!" I smiled and said, "Go ahead and call that lawyer." The next second, my phone rang.
