Marcus Twilight

After five years of being mated to Alpha Lucas, I finally got pregnant. Lucas and I were ecstatic, but five months into the pregnancy, I suffered an accidental miscarriage. The Chief Healer told me it was because my wolf was too weak. I couldn't handle the news and blacked out. The usually stoic Alpha couldn't stop weeping. I thought he was as devastated as I was. That was until I accidentally overheard his conversation with his Beta. "Alpha, why gag the healer? Luna clearly ingested Wolfsbane. Why aren't we hunting down the culprit?" Beta Marcus's voice was full of confusion. "We bury this." Lucas's voice was heavy with suppressed pain. "It was Isabella. She slipped Wolfsbane into Emily's tonic by mistake. Isabella suffered severe brain damage saving me three years ago; she has the mind of a five-year-old. She can't tell the difference between Wolfsbane and Moon Grass..." "She just wanted to help brew the tonic to help Emily get better, to make me happy. But if the Council catches wind of this, they will absolutely execute Isabella for murdering the Alpha heir." Ever since Isabella saved his life three years ago and became mentally regressed, she had shamelessly invaded our lives. On stormy nights, she would crawl into Lucas's bed wearing translucent lingerie, crying that she was scared, forcing Lucas to hold her all night while I was relegated to the guest room. He always said Isabella was brain-damaged, stuck with the IQ of a five-year-old, just like a child. He treated her like a sister and told me not to hold it against her. Since you loved your Isabella so much, I would grant you your wish. I picked up the private phone I hadn't used in five years. "I regret it. I'm willing to return to the Royal Pack. Come get me tomorrow." But when I truly disappeared, the once arrogant Alpha killed his precious Isabella and begged me to come back.

I had loved my best friend's Alpha heir brother Marcus Steele for ten years. After my first shift, I was thrilled to discover he was actually my mate. Without hesitation, I gave up my position as Alpha heiress of the Crimson Pack and joined the Moonridge Pack. I spent three years doing everything I could think of to win him over. Finally, he agreed to our binding. Just as I was happily preparing to discuss our mating ceremony with him, I overheard his conversation with his Beta. "Alpha, are you really planning to hold a mating ceremony with Aria Blackwood? Serena is still carrying your child..." The man's eyes were dark and unreadable. "That's right. Even though Serena is pregnant with my child, my father has been dissatisfied with me. This time I have no choice but to marry Aria to appease him. After all, she's the Alpha heiress of the most powerful Crimson Pack. If I marry her, father will definitely let me inherit the Alpha position." "Aren't you afraid Aria will find out about Serena and cause trouble for her?" "No way. After all these years, I know exactly what kind of person she is. I'll just sweet-talk her a bit and she'll obediently listen to me. Besides, that's my bloodline. She'll have to accept it." I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. I stumbled outside in a daze, only to be ambushed by enemy rogue wolves. I was poisoned with silver, and because help didn't arrive in time, the silver toxin spread through my bloodstream to my brain. After three days and nights in a coma, I woke up having forgotten all memories of the man I had once loved with all my heart. Ever since I came to the Moonridge Pack, my parents called every month asking me to come home. This time I dialed my father's number and told him: "I don't want to be the Moonridge Pack's Luna anymore. I want to be Crimson's Alpha."

Sa loob ng siyam na taon, buong pusong ginampanan ni Isabelle Reyes-Santiago ang pagiging isang perpektong ina at asawa. Tahimik siyang sumuporta kay Lucas—sa kanyang negosyo, sa kanyang reputasyon, at sa kanyang ambisyon. Nanahimik siya sa likod ng camera, sa mga board meeting na hindi siya inanyayahan, at sa mga sandaling kailangan niya ng karamay pero wala ni isang halik o salitang ginhawa ang kanyang nakuha. Ang mas masakit? Wala siyang lugar sa sariling tahanan. Hindi lang si Lucas ang may paboritong kasama. "Mas gusto ko si Tita Karina kaysa kay Mommy!"—sambit ng anak nilang si Marcus habang nakangiti si Lucas, tila sang-ayon. Ginawa na ni Isabelle ang lahat para mapanatiling buo ang kanilang pamilya. Pero imbes na pagmamahal at respeto, ang gantimpala niya’y pagtataksil at pangungutya. Habang binubura siya mula sa buhay ng asawa’t anak, si Karina Sison—ang ex ng kanyang asawa—ang inilalagay sa pedestal. Ginawang presidente. Ginawang reyna. Hanggang sa dumating ang gabing iyon. Ang gabing tuluyan siyang nagising sa katotohanan—na minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal, hindi mo na kayang manatili sa isang lugar na matagal ka nang hindi pinipiling mahalin pabalik. Pagod na siyang umasa. Pagod na siyang maging tanong sa pamilyang matagal nang may sagot—at hindi siya iyon. Kaya handa na siyang magpalaya. Handa na siyang iwan ang tahanang dati niyang ipinaglaban, sa piling ng mga taong mas masaya nang wala siya. Ngunit nang sa wakas ay iniabot na niya ang annulment papers sa kanyang asawa… Hindi galit ang sumalubong sa kanya. Hindi rin pakiusap. Kundi isang malamig na titig lang. Isang mapanganib na ngiti. At ang mga salitang… “You’re not going anywhere, Isabelle.”

Para nuestro séptimo aniversario, mi compañero, el Alfa Ethan, nos envió a mi cachorra y a mí al Altar de la Diosa de la Luna. Me dijo que era una sorpresa: para cumplirle a nuestra cachorra su sueño de ver una lluvia de meteoritos desde el pico más alto del territorio. Pero Ethan nunca llegó. Las runas protectoras a mis pies chisporrotearon y luego se apagaron. El suelo bajo nuestros pies comenzó a desmoronarse. Mi cachorra gritó, su pequeño cuerpo iba deslizándose hacia el abismo. Me abalancé, agarrándole la mano justo antes de que cayera por el borde. Grité su nombre a través de nuestro enlace mental. Noventa y nueve veces, se negó a responder. En mi centésimo grito, el enlace no solo se abrió, sino que se rompió por completo. No fue su voz la que respondió. Fueron sus sentidos, inundando los míos. Lo vi todo. A él. A otra loba. Y a él, enterrado en lo más profundo de ella. —Sabía que me amabas, Ethan —ronroneó su voz empalagosa—. Incluso sacrificaste a Marcus, solo para salvar a nuestro Leo de la enfermedad del alma. Haría lo que fuera por ti. La voz de Ethan era de terciopelo y hielo. —Para. Si Sera no me hubiera traicionado, nunca habrías tenido la oportunidad de gestar a mi heredero. Una vez que me deshaga de su otra cachorra, la bastarda de Julian, podremos volver a ser perfectos. Mi mundo se hizo añicos. Mi cachorro... Renegados. Siempre creí que los renegados me lo habían robado. Pero fue su propio padre. Lo sacrificó por una mentira. Con mis últimas fuerzas, llamé a Julian. —Romperé mi vínculo con Ethan —gruñí en el nuevo enlace—. Hazme tu Luna. A cambio, te ayudaré a quemar su manada hasta los cimientos.

Ich war im achten Monat schwanger, und die Wehen setzten ein, doch mein Alpha-Gefährte Damien sperrte mich in einen Silberkäfig im Keller, um die Geburt hinauszuzögern. Als ich um Hilfe schrie, sagte er nur, ich solle warten. Denn die Gefährtin seines verstorbenen Bruders, Victoria, brachte am selben Tag ihren Welpe zur Welt. Der Seher des Rudels hatte vorhergesagt, dass nur der erstgeborene Welpe von Mondgöttin gesegnet und zum zukünftigen Alpha werden würde. „Der Titel gehört Victorias Welpe“, sagte er. „Sie hat Marcus verloren. Sie hat nichts. Du hast bereits all meine Liebe, Elena. Der Silberkäfig wird dafür sorgen, dass du nach ihr entbindest.“ Die Wehen waren eine Folter. Ich flehte ihn an, mich in die Klinik zu bringen. Er packte mein Kinn und zwang mich, ihn anzusehen. „Hör auf, so zu tun. Ich hätte wissen müssen, dass du mich nie geliebt hast. Alles, was dir je wichtig war, sind Reichtum und Status!“ „Nur um deine Wehen zu erzwingen und zu stehlen, was meinem Neffen zusteht … Du bist wirklich böse.“ Blass und zitternd flüsterte ich: „Der Welpe kommt, ich kann es nicht aufhalten. Bitte, ich leiste einen Bluteid. Die Erbschaft ist mir egal. Ich liebe nur dich!“ Er spottete. „Wenn du mich lieben würdest, hättest du Victoria nie in diesen Vertrag gedrängt, um das Geburtsrecht ihres Welpen aufzugeben. Ich hole dich ab, wenn sie entbunden hat. Schließlich ist das in dir auch mein Welpe.“ Er bewachte Victorias Kreißsaal. Erst als er das Neugeborene in ihren Armen sah, erinnerte er sich an mich. Er befahl seinem Beta, mich freizulassen. Doch die Stimme des Beta bebte. „Luna… und der Welpe… sie sind tot.“ Und in diesem Moment verfiel Damien der Wildheit.

Ma sœur jumelle Elaine et moi avons été accouplées aux jumeaux Alpha. Seul le premier bébé né de ma sœur ou de moi deviendrait l'héritier Alpha de la meute. Ma sœur est tombée enceinte un mois avant moi et elle était censée donner naissance à l'héritier en premier, mais j'ai accouché prématurément avec un mois d'avance. Quand j'étais sur le point d'accoucher, j'ai choisi de m'asseoir dans une chambre remplie de potions spéciales qui supprimaient les contractions. En effet, dans ma vie précédente, mon compagnon Alpha Marcus m'avait entraînée dans de l'eau contenant de l'aconit pour retarder mon accouchement. Au bout du compte, mon petit et moi étions morts dans l'eau. L'agonie était insupportable. J'avais sangloté et supplié, l'implorant de m'expliquer pourquoi il me faisait ça. Mais il avait complètement ignoré mes pleurs. Tout ce qui l'intéressait, c'était de précipiter Elaine dans la tanière d'accouchement de la meute. « Mon frère Maël est mort en me sauvant la vie. » m'avait-il alors hurlé. « La seule façon d'honorer cette dette de sang est de faire en sorte que son enfant devienne l'héritier de la meute. Tu peux en vouloir à Elaine autant que tu veux un autre jour, mais pas aujourd'hui, attends encore un peu. » « C'est une potion spéciale, tu seras saine et sauve, fais-moi confiance ! » Saine et sauve ? J'avais souffert dans cette chambre souterraine pendant un jour et une nuit entiers. Mon enfant étouffait dans mon ventre tandis que l'empoisonnement à l'aconit me consumait. Lorsque j'ai rouvert les yeux, j'étais revenue au jour de mon accouchement. Cette fois, je devrais me sauver.
