Lie

"I want you back at all cost!" Sidd groaned, glaring bitterly at me. He was both jealous and angry and I was ready to add salt to his injury. The corners of my lips curled into a smirk. "And that chance is what you will never get. I already promised myself with my mother's grave that I will never forgive you," I said with all the seriousness I could muster. "Besides, I am engaged to Veer." ***** Voiding her mother's advice, Nadia, who loved Sidd, a movie star with all her heart got pregnant for him. He abandoned her, getting engaged to Ria, his co-actor. The pregnancy shock killed Nadia's mother. Her heart shattered into millions of pieces, giving birth to his son, and being forced to stay out of his life completely. But after many years when Nadia found herself in the same industry as Sidd, Sidd suddenly felt possessive of her. But it was too late when Nadia showed him her engagement ring to Sidd's rival, Veer.

My mother never believed me. To her, I was always just a lying pup. In my pack, every cub wore a Moon Oath Collar. Red meant you lied. White meant you told the truth. My sister’s collar always glowed a soft white. Even when she pretended to be sick to get out of an exam, her collar only gave off that gentle white light. Mine was different. Even when I was truly sick, my collar would burst into a violent red, and the punishment current would follow immediately. On my sister’s birthday, Mother prepared a bonfire feast for the whole pack. Just before they left, a splitting pain tore through my head, and I collapsed on the floor, begging her to help me. For one second, she almost picked me up. Then my collar flashed red. “To ruin your sister’s birthday, you’re even pretending to die? What a vicious child.” Then she walked out with my sister and left me alone on the floor. I died alone on the cold floor. But when I opened my eyes again, I was no longer inside my body. My soul drifted after my mother as I whispered the truth she had never believed. “Mom… I wasn’t lying. I really died.” And when they finally found my body, the red collar on my neck was still flashing.

Als mein Alpha-Gefährte Logan bemerkte, dass ich seit drei Tagen keinen einzigen Ausgabenantrag einreichte, meldete er sich zum allerersten Mal von sich aus bei mir. „Baby, ich habe die nächste Phase der Heilung deiner Wölfin bereits genehmigt. Siehst du? Solange du lernst, dich zu benehmen, gibt es nichts, was ich dir nicht geben würde.“ Sein Ton war immer noch so zärtlich, als wäre er wirklich ein guter Alpha, der sich krank vor Sorge um seine Gefährtin machte. Aber er wusste nicht, dass ich, während sein „Baby“ über meinen Bildschirm flackerte, die Vereinbarung zum Durchtrennen unserer Gefährtenbindung längst fertig ausgearbeitet hatte. Bevor ich ging, war das Einzige, was ich mitnehmen konnte, das alte T-Shirt, das ich getragen hatte, als er mich markierte. Niemand hätte je geglaubt, dass die geliebte Luna des Blackmoon-Rudels in den drei Jahren seit unserer Bindungszeremonie nicht einmal fünf anständige Kleider für sich selbst zusammenkratzen konnte. Jede einzelne Haushaltsausgabe, die ich hatte, musste mit dem Siegel der Luna genehmigt werden – dem Symbol meiner Macht. „Sienna, die Bücher zu führen ist zu anstrengend. Das wird dich nur auslaugen.“ „Lass Chloe die lästige Arbeit mit dem Siegel erledigen. Du musst nur schön sein, meine perfekte Luna.“ Und so wurde das Siegel der Luna, das eigentlich mir hätte gehören müssen, zu etwas, das ich Chloe anflehen musste – der Sekretärin des Alphas, die angeblich „die lästige Arbeit für mich erledigte“. Vor drei Tagen stand meine Wölfin kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch. Ich weinte und flehte ihn um die zweihunderttausend an, die für einen Notfalleingriff benötigt wurden. Doch Chloe hielt das Siegel absichtlich zurück und verzögerte die Genehmigung, indem sie sich auf angeblich falsche Abläufe berief. Schließlich wurde meine ohnehin schon gebrochene Wölfin tief in meiner Seele völlig still. Und damit war ich auch mit diesem Alpha fertig.

After six years together, Serena Kline discovered the love she trusted had been nothing but a lie. Her husband seized her father’s company and coldly handed her the divorce papers, as if she had never mattered at all. “You never loved me?” she asked. Nathaniel, her husband, looked at her with no trace of love left in his eyes and said, “Never.” With no hope left for her marriage, Serena walked away with empty arms and a fierce will to rebuild her life. *** Nathaniel Thorne believed he was prepared to lose anything to get retribution. But vengeance came with a cost he never understood until it was too late. When fate brought him into the same room with Serena again, he prepared himself for the rage, for her retaliation, but instead, Serena calmly asked, “So… was it worth it? Your ultimate revenge?” “I’m doing well,” he answered plainly, hiding the truth behind his commanding facade. Serena smiled, beautiful in a way that made his chest tighten. “Then, I’m happy for you. Peace and closure look good on you.” Her words landed sharper than she intended. Because the truth was, he had never found the peace she spoke of.

I was born a liar. That was the label my mother gave me. In the Dark Moon Pack, every pup carries a Lunar Mark on their wrist. Green means truth. Red means liar. My twin sister Maya slashed Mommy's ceremonial dress with a blade and blamed the pack hounds. Her wrist stayed soft and green. My mark went crimson when I said I was cold. "Mommy, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me." Elena would crouch down, look me in the eye, and say the same thing every time. "The Goddess's mark is absolute, Selena. Your own heart betrays you." She never touched me. She just looked at my wrist with disgust. No matter how honest I tried to be, my heart would race when I was scared. And every time my pulse spiked, the mark turned red. I lied when I said I was hungry. I lied when I said I loved her. I lied when I cried. After enough years, I stopped fighting back. I started to believe her. Maybe I really was broken. Maybe I was just born wrong. The night I died, I wrote one last line in my Penance Journal. "Mommy, help me. It hurts. Please — just believe me once." She never saw it. She had already locked the door and walked away. I'm sorry, Mommy. I died still trying to get it right. In my next life — will you hold me?

Als mein Verlobter Draven mich zum 99. Mal einfach auflegte, schleppte ich mich zur Familienkirche. Die Diagnose eines terminalen Nierenversagens hielt ich gekrampft in der Hand. „Vater, ich möchte mich von der Familie Rocci lossagen und meine Verlobung mit Draven Frost beenden.“ Kaum hatte ich die Worte ausgesprochen, stürmten meine Eltern mit meiner Adoptivschwester Bianca herein. Mein Vater, der Consigliere der Familie, zögerte keine Sekunde. Vor den Augen des Priesters schlug er mir ins Gesicht. „Dein Verlobter ist ein respektierter Capo in unserer Welt – und du wagst es, ihn so zu beleidigen? Du ziehst den Namen unserer Familie vor der ganzen Organisation in den Dreck!“ Meine Mutter riss mir die Diagnose aus der Hand, überflog sie und verzog verächtlich das Gesicht. „Stellst du dich schon wieder krank, nur um Aufmerksamkeit zu erhaschen? Was willst du nun?“ Meine Adoptivschwester Bianca klammerte sich an die Arme unserer Eltern, ihre Stimme von Tränen erstickt. „Es tut mir so leid, Schwester. Nimm du meinen Platz auf der Gala. Bitte, bereite Mama und Papa einfach keinen weiteren Ärger!“ Ich wischte das Blut ab, das aus meiner Nase tropfte, und wiederholte ruhig meine Worte an den Priester. „Ich bin nicht länger eine Tochter der Familie Rocci. Ich bin einer Allianz mit den Frosts nicht würdig.“ „In drei Tagen liege ich im Grab. Bis dahin will ich diese Verlobung aufgelöst haben.“
