Māyā

I died on the day I was supposed to receive the Pack’s Distinguished Service Award. Three hours after I died, my parents, my brother, and my mate were just wrapping up the graduation party they’d thrown for my sister. While my sister, Ella, was posting a cozy family photo on Instagram, I was locked in our basement, using my tongue to swipe on my phone and call for help. The only person who answered was my mate, Ryan. All he said was, "Sophie, cut the drama. Ella's graduation party is important. Enough with the tantrums!" This was the ninety-ninth time they had let me down. And the last. I lay in a pool of my own blood, my lungs still. They thought I was just throwing a fit, hiding somewhere. That if they taught me a lesson, I’d come crawling back. But they didn't know. I was home the whole time. I was already dead.

He is arrogant and ruthless, she's humble and poor. He is powerful and Handsome, she's weak, fragile and innocent. There was a twist, she is the kick-ass heroin and he bowed at her feet. Twist and destiny took over....

For a year, I’d lived a double life. During the day, I am Lila Montgomery, the heiress of Montgomery Industries. At night, I am just Lila, the woman Ethan was falling for. Or so I thought.“Grace,” he’d murmured in his sleep one night, his arms tightening around me. “Don’t leave again.” That was the first crack in my fantasy. The final crack that ended our so-called relationship was when he accused me of wanting to trap him with a baby. Now just days later, my mother wants me to meet Nicholas Baldwin, Ethan’s uncle. “Might be exactly what you need to forget his nephew.” I ignored my brother’s teasing, walking past him. “I don’t need another Baldwin man in my life.” But seeing Ethan now in person and with Grace by his side… “Nick,” I whispered urgently, “I need a huge favor.” He must have heard the desperation in my voice, “Name it.” “Pretend to be my boyfriend.”

When I find out that Joe Herring—the man I've loved for ten years—is planning a grand proposal, I'm so thrilled I can't sleep a wink that night. But the next day, everyone in the pack is buzzing about how Alpha Joe just proposed to my stepsister, Nora Safford. He comes to me afterward, trying to explain. "It's not even real, Anna. Nora doesn't have anyone in the pack. I'm just doing her a favor. "Don't worry. I'll break it off before the mate-bonding ceremony next week. Then we'll have our ceremony, just like we planned." But over and over, he keeps asking me to compromise for Nora. And when the mate-bonding ceremony finally arrives, he's still with her. So in the end, I let her have him and walk away without a word.

Reborn as the long-lost Rogers heir, missing for fifteen years, I avoided every chance to bond with my two brothers in this family. When they tossed me Vivi’s discarded, ill-fitting gown for the family gala, I smiled and put it on. When they sent Vivi to get an elite education while ordering me to scrub the utility room, I picked up the mop without a word. When they let Vivi chase love and dumped her rejected suitor on me, I didn’t fight. I accepted her leftovers with a calm nod. This was all because in my past life, I had spent my entire life desperate for my brothers' approval, only to end up despised by everyone for it. When I died in the crossfire of a gangland shootout, my own son pushed my body away in disgust. "Mom, did you really waste your whole life on such a petty fight with Aunt Vivi? Dying for the family would have been a more dignified end. At least then you wouldn't have disgraced our name." I left this world filled with resentment, only to open my eyes and find myself back at the moment I first set foot in the Rogers estate. This time, I'm done fighting. The power, the name, the honor. I'm letting them have it all. I’ve already been accepted into a closed-door medical project. Soon they will never see me again.

Susanne Doyle, my wife who's a general manager, often travels to Havenport on business trips. When she comes home, she either has cuts on her mouth or bruises on her thighs. Whenever I ask her about those injuries, she always claims that she accidentally tripped and fell after getting drunk. On our third wedding anniversary, I find out that Susanne has already formed another family in Havenport. At the moment, she's nestling into another man's arms, looking very alluring and seductive. A few of her mentees sit around her and her beau as they start cheering on them. "Now that your fiance has accepted your marriage proposal, does that mean you're about to buy strawberry donuts to celebrate this occasion tonight, Susanne?" The moment I hear the words "marriage proposal", I feel thunderstruck. Susanne begins making out passionately with her new fiance, Stanley Quinn, the next moment. As I watch the loving scene unfold before my eyes, I feel as though my heart has just gotten dunked into icy waters. At the doorway, I happen to bump into Stanley, the very same man who had embraced Susanne earlier. With Susanne's mentees flanking behind him, he drags me into the washroom before punching me in the face. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you ogle my fiancee! Are you the one who has been harassing her through text messages? "Here's a warning for you—Susanne is my lover! If I ever see you trying to pull any tricks on her, I'll show you a world of pain!" Stanley then waves a hand. The other mentees begin roughing me up with punches and kicks. "This is just a small warning for you." He doesn't know that I'm Susanne's legal husband, much less the fact that I'm the sole reason behind her ability to snag the position as the general manager.

« Comment oses-tu entrer dans cette maison avec cet enfant ? » dit-il, les yeux froids. « Tu m’as déshonoré. » Elle lui a donné quatre ans. Quatre ans de loyauté. Quatre ans à croire qu’un mariage signé sur du papier pouvait se transformer en amour. Elle lui a tout confié… son cœur, son avenir, sa réputation. Elle a cru en lui quand plus personne ne le faisait. Il l’a repayée par des mensonges, une accusation, une trahison soigneusement orchestrée, et en un instant, elle a été effacée, marquée comme une traîtresse et laissée sans rien. Ils pensaient qu’elle disparaîtrait en silence. Ils avaient tort. Elle n’est pas brisée, elle s’est réveillée. Et quand elle reviendra, ce ne sera ni avec des larmes ni avec des supplications. Ce sera pour reprendre chaque chose qu’ils ont tenté d’enterrer avec elle. Il voulait qu’elle parte. Maintenant, il va regretter de l’avoir laissée partir.

Mi hermana gemela, Elena, y yo fuimos emparejadas con los gemelos Alfa. Solo el primer cachorro que naciera entre nosotras sería el heredero Alfa de la manada. Mi hermana quedó embarazada un mes antes que yo, y se suponía que ella daría a luz al heredero primero. Pero yo entré en labor de parto un mes antes, de forma prematura. Pero cuando estaba a punto de dar a luz, decidí quedarme en una habitación llena de pociones especiales que suprimían las contracciones. Porque, en mi vida anterior, mi pareja Alfa, Marcos, me había sumergido en agua mezclada con acónito para retrasar el parto. Al final, mi cachorro y yo morimos allí. La agonía fue insoportable. Sollozaba y suplicaba, rogándole que me explicara por qué me hacía eso. Pero él ignoró mis gritos por completo. Lo único que le importaba era apresurar a Elena hasta la guarida de partos de la manada. —Mi hermano Gabriel murió salvando mi vida —me gruñó—. La única forma de honrar esa deuda de sangre es asegurarnos de que su hijo sea el heredero de la manada. Puedes resentir a Elena todo lo que quieras cualquier otro día, pero hoy no. Solo aguanta un poco más. —Es una poción especial. Vas a estar sana y salva. ¡Confía en mí! ¿Sana y salva? Pasé un día y una noche enteros sufriendo en aquel sótano. Mi hijo se asfixiaba en mi vientre mientras el veneno de acónito me consumía lentamente. Cuando abrí los ojos de nuevo, había regresado al día de mi parto. Esta vez, tengo que salvarme a mí misma.
