In my last life, my brother Leo—the heir to the Moretti crime family—stripped our estate bare of every last soldier, all for a Vegas jaunt. All because his new flame, Scarlett, had a jones for the high-roller tables. The Volkovs—our rivals, the very ones Leo had just pissed off—saw their opening and stormed our gates. My mother, Sofia, took a bullet meant for me. Died protecting me. I blew up Leo’s phone, my pleas turning to screams. He didn't answer. He waltzed back in after the shooting stopped, bringing our men home, but far too late for it to matter. Then, the news from Vegas. Scarlett was gone. A suicide note left behind. In it, she painted me as the monster. The one who’d leaked our weaknesses to the Volkovs. The one who'd orchestrated a fake kidnapping and torture plot, all to drive her to despair and lure Leo home. A perfect, tragic lie. Leo read the letter calmly. Then he burned the letter and told me, "Forget it. It's handled." Father tore into Leo for abandoning his post, for leaving his family to die. And me? I was named the new Consigliere. But after the celebration, Leo cornered me in the wine cellar. His face was a mask of cold fury as he pressed the barrel of his gun to my forehead. "This is for family traitors," he hissed, his voice pure venom. "The throne is my birthright, not some backstabbing bitch's prize!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back. Right in the middle of the fire and the blood. This time, I shoved my mother behind me, dragging her toward the panic room. And the bastards who were too blind to believe me? They’ll regret it.

Matapos ang lahat ng kaligayahan at sakripisyong pinagsaluhan nilang dalawa, paano nila haharapin ang mga pagsubok na nagmamadaling putulin kung anuman ang namamagitan sa kanila? Makakaasa kaya si Donna sa mga bisig at pangako ni Clive kahit na ang katotohanan ay hindi ito ang ama ng bata?

Before my boyfriend, August Cadwell, marked me, we went to register our mate bond at the Pack Affairs Department. Without a word of explanation, he unexpectedly had someone throw me out of the office. Then he walked in with his childhood sweetheart. He didn’t even blink when he saw me sitting there on the ground, shaking with disbelief. "Hailey's pup needs to be part of the Aurelis pack. The best and quickest method is for her to register a mate bond with a werewolf from the Aurelis pack. As soon as we sever the mate bond, I'll form a mate bond with you." Everyone assumed the lovesick version of me would wait just one more month for him. After all, I'd already waited seven long years. But that night, I did something unexpected too. I accepted my parents' arranged mate bond and quietly left for the Lymerian pack, disappearing from his life entirely. Three years later, I returned to my original pack to visit my family. My mate, Ryder Weyland, was now the lycan chairman. Because of an urgent council meeting, he arranged for someone to collect me from the airport. I never imagined that “someone” would be August. The moment he spotted me, his eyes immediately landed on the sparkling bracelet on my wrist. "Isn't this a knockoff of the bracelet Ryder Weyland, the lycan chairman, spent two million dollars on for his mate? Didn't expect you to turn this vain after just a few years. "You've caused enough chaos, haven't you? It's time to return. Hailey's pup is now of school age. You can take on the responsibility of pick-ups and drop-offs." I gently ran my fingers over the bracelet on my wrist. Little did he know that this was the cheapest one Ryder had ever given me.

"Maaf, tapi aku tak bisa meneruskan pernikahan ini. Setelah kupikir aku masih terlalu muda dan naif. Aku mencintaimu, Anna, tapi tidak dengan menikah. Cita-citaku masih menunggu untuk kuraih." Aku hanya menatapnya dengan air penuh, tak percaya padahal besok adalah hari pernikahan kami. Semua hal sudah direncanakan secara matang, tapi malam ini dia masuk menerobos dalam kamarku dan mengatakan hal-hal yang mematahkan semua tulang-tulangku. "Pergi ..." Aku berkata dengan lirih dan mengusirnya. Aku membecinya sangat! Dia adalah laki-laki paling brengsek yang pernah kutemui. Dia mengagalkan acara pernikahan ini karena terlalu egois! Danish adalah laki-laki paling egois dan brengsek yang pernah kutemui! "Maafkan aku, Anna. Aku sangat mencintaimu!" Aku hanya menggeleng. Tak ada cinta, jika dia yang memulai dia juga yang mengakhiri semua ini. "Sungguh, maafkan aku." Aku semakin menggeleng dan ingin melempar apa saja di hadapannya. Dia yang melamarku, aku tahu kami memang masih sangat muda tapi dia menyakinkan jika kebersamaan kami tidak akan goyah walau sudah menikah nanti dan meyakinkanku berkali-kali semuanya baik-baik saja. Tapi lihatlah kini! "Aku membencimu sangat, Danish!" Dan kami dipertemukan kembali hingga lima tahun kemudian, di malam reunian sekolah yang akhirnya merusak segala move on yang telah kucapai! Reuni semalam, merusak move on sebelanga. _______________ Danish - Cerita orang tuanya di (Nanny to Mommy) Anna - Cerita orang tuanya di (I Was Never Your)
