I was diagnosed with late stage the Hollowing—Wolf Soul Degeneration. According to the Compatible Soul Restructuring Program, I could survive by receiving a soul transplant. If no match were found, I would be brain-dead in three months. After more than two months of waiting, the soul that matched me best was given away by my mate to my sister. The therapist recommended that I keep waiting for a new match, but I refused. I signed a treatment waiver and left Central Medical Center early. All the wealth and resources I had spent years saving—I gave every last bit to my sister, Lisa. For the first time, during the full moon family dinner, my parents smiled at me. My mate moved into Lisa’s room to take care of her. I did not get angry. I even made him breakfast. Even when my little pup asked if she could be his mom, I nodded and said yes. I gave them everything they wanted. So why are they regretting it now? …

After a decade of chasing Carter Worthington, I'm finally worn out. Letting go of my unrequited love, I choose to embrace the man who has quietly loved me all along. His name is Eli Loxley. Not only is he a skilled surgeon, but he's also Carter's stepbrother. Although Eli spent his childhood living in Carter's shadow, he's the one who has captured my heart. On the night I accept his heartfelt confession, he lights up the entire Marrowfield sky with fireworks. He even buys a private island by the sea, where he proposes beneath a blanket of stars. I believe this is the start of my happiness. But before our wedding, Eli disappears without a trace. I end up finding him on a private yacht on the Redridge River, laughing and chatting with his friends. "The only reason I pursued Anya was to get back at Carter. "She's only enticing when she's out of reach. After sleeping with her, I realized she's nothing special. "Marriage isn't what I'm after. But using it for payback? Now that's the real temptation, wouldn't you agree?" I don't shed a tear. I slip the ring off my finger and toss it aside. On the day of the wedding, the venue would stand empty. The entire city of Oakmont would mock it. After everything, I've decided to be the one who runs away as well. But why is the one who didn't love me then now frantically pleading for me to return? I'm afraid this chapter has closed. I won't turn back.

Hari pertama setelah terlahir kembali, aku langsung menyelinap ke kamar sang ketua mafia, Kevin, lalu melepaskan pakaianku. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, aku dan putranya, Nico, adalah pasangan pernikahan politik tanpa cinta yang sangat terkenal di kalangan mafia Grimora. Nico menganggap akulah penyebab hancurnya hubungan dengan cinta pertamanya. Ia yakin bahwa saat dirinya terkena obat perangsang, akulah yang sengaja masuk ke kamarnya. Karena itu, selama delapan tahun pernikahan, setiap malam ia pergi mabuk-mabukan dan tak pernah pulang. Bahkan ketika aku mengalami persalinan sulit dan nyawaku hampir melayang, ia tak menunjukkan kepedulian sedikit pun. Hingga suatu hari badai besar melanda. Grimora diterjang gelombang badai, dan tanggul pelabuhan jebol. Hanya tersisa satu kursi di kapal evakuasi. Semua orang mengira ia akan menyelamatkan dirinya sendiri. Namun Nico justru mendorongku ke atas kapal. “Pergilah!!” “Nadine, kuserahkan kesempatan hidup ini padamu … di kehidupan selanjutnya, aku tak ingin kamu menyelamatkanku lagi. Aku hanya ingin bersama Marry.” Detik berikutnya, tubuhnya terseret ke dalam laut yang gelap. Sementara aku yang berhasil selamat, akhirnya dibunuh oleh keluarga musuh. Ia tak pernah tahu .... malam itu, yang terkena bius bukan hanya dirinya. Ayahnya, Kevin sang ketua mafia juga dibius. Saat aku melangkah masuk ke kamar, efek obatnya sudah mulai bekerja. Sang ketua mafia menekan hasrat yang menyiksa tubuhnya dengan susah payah. Kali ini, aku mendekat dan berbisik pelan, “Ketua, aku datang untuk membantumu menetralkan racunnya.”

On the first day of my rebirth, I turn straight into the bedroom of Don Raffaele Caruso and begin undoing my clothes. In my previous life, I was in a marriage of convenience with his son, Matteo Caruso, but there was no love between us. We were notorious in Liberty City's mafia circle. Matteo believed I was the reason he lost his first love. He thought I had deliberately gone into his room the night he was drugged with an aphrodisiac, trapping him in a marriage. Hence, for eight years after our wedding, he stayed out drunk every night and refused to come home. Even when I went into obstructed labor and was on the brink of death, he never asked about me even once. Then, the hurricane came. A storm surge swallowed Liberty City. The harbor collapsed under the waves, and there was only one seat left on the evacuation boat. Everyone thought Matteo would keep it for himself. Instead, he shoved me hard onto the boat. "Go! I'm giving you my chance to live, Chiara. If there's a next life, don't come saving me again. I just want to be with Lucia." The next second, his body was dragged into the pitch-black sea. I survived, only to be hacked to death by a rival family afterward. What Matteo never knew was that he wasn't the only one who was drugged that night. His father was too. This time around, I step into the room just as the effects of the aphrodisiac take hold. Raffaele is currently forcing himself to endure it, his control stretched to the limit. I walk over and say softly, "Let me be your antidote, Don Caruso."

En el primer día de mi renacimiento, entré directamente en la habitación de Don Raffaele Caruso y empecé a quitarme la ropa. En mi vida anterior, tuve un matrimonio de conveniencia con su hijo, Matteo Caruso, pero no había amor entre nosotros. Ambos éramos conocidos en el círculo mafioso de Liberty City. Matteo creía que yo era la razón por la que perdió a su primer amor. Pensaba que había entrado deliberadamente en su habitación la noche en que lo drogaron con un afrodisíaco, atrapándolo así en un matrimonio. Por lo tanto, durante ocho años después de nuestra boda, él se emborrachó cada noche y se negó a volver a casa. Incluso cuando entré en trabajo de parto obstruido y estuve al borde de la muerte, nunca preguntó por mí ni una sola vez. Entonces, llegó el huracán. Una tormenta ciclónica se tragó Liberty City. El puerto se derrumbó bajo las olas y solo quedaba un asiento restante en el barco de evacuación. Todos pensaron que Matteo se lo quedaría. En cambio, me empujó con fuerza hacia el barco. —¡Vete! Te doy mi oportunidad de vivir, Chiara. Si hay otra vida, no vuelvas a intentar salvarme. Solo quiero estar con Lucía. Al instante siguiente, su cuerpo fue arrastrado al mar tan negro como la boca del lobo. Yo sobreviví, solo para ser asesinada a machetazos por una familia rival. Lo que Matteo nunca supo fue que no fue el único drogado esa noche. Su padre también lo fue. Así que, esta vez, entré en la habitación justo cuando los efectos del afrodisíaco empezaban a surtir efecto. Raffaele se estaba obligando a soportarlo, con su control al límite. Me acerqué y le dije en voz baja: —Déjeme ser su antídoto, Don Caruso.

Mon fiancé était le meilleur guérisseur de la meute. Son premier amour était aussi sa petite demi-sœur. Elle s'était autrefois interposée pour le sauver d'une flèche d'argent mortelle. Aujourd'hui, la maladie refait surface : elle est atteinte d'un empoisonnement incurable à l'argent et il ne lui reste plus que 21 jours à vivre. Pour l'accompagner jusqu'au bout, il a discrètement injecté dans mon eau un nouveau sérum de blocage de la mémoire qu'il venait de mettre au point, effaçant de force tous les souvenirs que j'avais de notre relation. Il m'a dit : « Ce ne sont que 21 jours. Quand elle sera partie, je te donnerai l'antidote de mes propres mains, et tu te souviendras de moi. » Durant ces 21 jours, il lui a organisé une grande cérémonie, a dansé avec elle le soir de la Fête de la Lune, et l'a laissée partir en lui jurant : « Dans une autre vie, je serai encore ton compagnon. » 21 jours plus tard, les effets du sérum ont disparu. Il s'est agenouillé sous la pluie, les larmes mêlées de sang, et m'a demandé d'une voix brisée : « Le sérum ne dure que 21 jours… Pourquoi m'as-tu oublié pour toujours ? » Je l'ai seulement regardé avec froideur et j'ai répondu : « Désolée. Vous êtes ? »

Am Tag der Markierungszeremonie wurden mein Gefährte und meine Schwester Rose erwischt, wie sie in der Garderobe der Brautjungfern Sex hatten. Ich wurde zum Gespött des ganzen Rudels. Gerade als ich vor Scham im Boden versinken wollte, trat Alpha Nate vor. Er markierte mich vor aller Augen. Nach der Hochzeit umsorgte er mich liebevoll. Trotzdem blieben wir kinderlos. Erst eine künstliche Befruchtung ermöglichte mir endlich, schwanger zu werden. Er kümmerte sich noch aufmerksamer um mich. Selbst im Schlaf murmelte er „Liebling“ zu mir. In diesem Moment dachte ich, die Mondgöttin selbst hätte uns dieses Glück geschenkt. Bis ich eines Tages ein Gespräch zwischen ihm und seinem Beta belauschte. „Du bist wirklich herzlos, Nate! Luna Diana ist so gut zu dir, und nur weil Rose Angst vor den Geburtsschmerzen hat, hast du heimlich die Eizellen ausgetauscht und lässt Luna für sie das Baby austragen?“ „In zwei Monaten kommt das Kind zur Welt. Was hast du vor?“ Er schwieg einen Moment und seufzte dann: „Wenn das Kind geboren ist, gebe ich es Rose. Damit erfülle ich ihren Traum, Mutter zu werden.“ „Und Diana werde ich erzählen, dass das Kind tot zur Welt gekommen ist.“ „Sie ist nur eine verlassene Omega. Dass ich mein Leben an ihrer Seite verbringe, ist Entschädigung genug.“ Die ganze Zärtlichkeit, der ganze Schutz – alles war gelogen. Ich drehte mich um und vereinbarte einen Termin für einen Schwangerschaftsabbruch. Dieses unreine Kind will ich nicht. Diese verlogene Ehe will ich noch weniger. Ich bin eine Omega des Rudels, aber kein Werkzeug für andere.

Aku didiagnosis menderita lupus eritematosus sistemik stadium berat dan akan meninggal tiga hari lagi. Setelah 188 kali telepon permintaan tolongku ditolak suamiku, aku membawa hasil pemeriksaan dan melangkah masuk ke kantor pelayanan perawatan akhir hayat. “Halo, tolong bantu jadwalkan proses kremasiku dan ajukan juga bantuan subsidi dari pemerintah.” Sepuluh menit kemudian, mereka datang. Belum sempat aku bicara, suamiku yang seorang pengacara langsung menamparku tanpa ekspresi. “Demi merebut perhatian dari Penny, kamu pura-pura sakit parah?” Kakakku yang seorang dokter merebut hasil pemeriksaanku, lalu membuka dan menatapku, sambil mencibir, “Lupus? Kalau mau pura-pura sakit, setidaknya yang masuk akal. Penyakit seperti ini hanya diderita satu dari sejuta orang.” Aku menahan rasa sakit di tubuhku, lalu kembali ke meja petugas dan menyerahkan formulir, serta hasil medis lagi. Melihat ruam berbentuk kupu-kupu di pergelangan tanganku, petugas itu tampak iba. “Aku sudah nggak punya keluarga lagi.” “Aku ingin mendaftar layanan kremasi tiga hari lagi, lokasinya bebas. Aku hanya berharap kematianku nggak menjadi beban bagi siapapun.”

While exploring the wilderness, my younger sister—Charlotte Forrester—and I accidentally stumble onto the territory of supernatural beings. She grabs the hand of the noble, elegant male elf, her posture coy and intimate. Before I can react, a wolfman with a scar on his face wraps his arm around my waist and leads me away. Charlotte, who judges others by appearance, is unaware that the male elf—Elwin Duskwood—belongs to a tribe of half-elves. Half-elves are beautiful but possess no real capabilities. They are considered a marginalized group among elves and struggle to make ends meet every day. On the other hand, the wolfman—Morgan Nightshade—is a mid-tier wolf tribe's Highlord. After giving birth to an extremely rare silver wolf for him, I have become the Highlady of the tribe. I'm respected by everyone in the tribe and feast on delicacies every day. Meanwhile, Charlotte becomes emaciated after suffering from starvation for several months. When she sees how plump I am, she goes insane from jealousy. While the wolf tribe is entertaining guests at a banquet, she uses poison to kill me. The next time I open my eyes, Charlotte and I are back at the moment we first entered the supernatural beings' territory by mistake. Charlotte immediately hugs Morgan by the waist and kisses him. She showers him with flattery about his strength, calling him the man of her dreams. I can't help but laugh out loud. Silly Charlotte. As a wolfman, Morgan is ill-tempered, and he easily loses control of his emotions. He also becomes even more bloodthirsty after transforming. It's not all sunshine and rainbows being his mate. But I never imagined the elves could be so… in that regard.

I plan a family trip at my mother Lucia Sweeney's request. While avoiding the danger zones, my sister Linda Harper and I are ambushed by rogues. To protect her, I throw myself in the path of their claws and get driven into a silver mine. As I fall, my back is slashed open to the bone, and shards of silver embed deep into my right leg. The searing silver poison spreads quickly, burning through me and my wolf. My wolf is whimpering—she's close to death. However, as the pack's chief healer, Mom gathers all the healers around Linda to give her a full check-up over a few minor scrapes. I sob and beg her to save me first. "Mom, the poison has almost reached my heart. I can't hold on anymore." She turns around impatiently and yells, "Are you seriously still fighting with Linda now? Do you have any idea how close she came to getting clawed in the face by a silver claw? Our pack doesn't have a wolf as heartless as you!" And in that moment, I hear my wolf's final whimper, saying goodbye. I finally fall asleep in the cold wind, never waking up again.
