My Alpha's ex-girlfriend finds an excuse to move in with us. Whenever she sees me and my pup, she clutches her chest and acts like she's devastated. My Alpha is sure that I'm deliberately showing off our pup to upset her. "I can't believe you keep flaunting our pup to get on Cissy's nerves! I have to teach you a lesson!" He orders his men to have our pup and me thrown into the basement. No one is allowed to bring me food. I try to escape, and I beg for mercy. I tell him our pup is weak because I wasn't in the best of health when carrying it. I also tell him a healer has advised me to be hospitalized for further treatment. He sounds like he's heard the world's biggest joke, and his tone is cold as he says, "How can you be weak when you made it out of being ambushed in the forest? Stop trying to make yourself seem pitiful! Stay in the basement and repent! This is what you get for making things hard for Cissy!" What he doesn't know is that, when I save him from the attack, I lose my wolf because I am injected with wolfsbane. During my pregnancy, I am also hospitalized many times in order to prevent miscarriage due to the fact that my body is too weak. The pup is in poor health and has been receiving treatment since birth. In the basement, I slash my wrists to feed my pup with my blood, but he still dies in my arms. My devastated howls reverberate in the space. Losing my wolf means I no longer have the ability to heal myself. I lie in a puddle of my blood as I hold my pup's cold body close. Three days later, my Alpha decides he wants me back when he drinks a cup of coffee that isn't to his liking. He says, "Let my Luna out so she can make me coffee and apologize to Cissy. She and the pup can be taken to the hospital if she's sincere enough." No one dares obey his orders—my blood is already flowing out of the basement.

I'm Alpha Bruce Smith's most docile and understanding daughter. In fact, I'm the type who obeys literally anyone's orders. When my parents pick me up at the Rogues' den and take me back to the pack, my adopted younger sister, Andrea Smith, begins making fun of me. "I thought the Rogues killed you for sure! I never thought you'd be able to return to the pack, safe and sound! You really are lucky! Why can't you just die already?" With hollow eyes, I just nod quietly. Then, I extend a claw and move to stab myself in the neck without hesitation. My parents are terrified out of their wits. They quickly stop me from hurting myself. But my older brother, Tobias Smith, remains impassive about my condition. "You really love attention that much, huh? What makes you think you can still remain my sister, anyway? You might as well drink some wolfsbane and die!" That night, I grab a bottle of poison and down it immediately. Tobias discovers me afterward. He whisks me to the hospital anxiously. When the doctor tells him that I'd die if he were two minutes later in discovering me, Tobias' complexion turns pale. Some time after that, when Andrea snatches my necklace from me, she loses her balance and falls down the stairs. Her fiance points at me while exclaiming, "It's just a necklace! If anything were to happen to Andrea, you'd better pay the price with your life!" Pay the price with my life, huh? I don't hesitate to draw the silver sword out of its hilt on the wall. Then, I slash my throat with it. My parents happen to witness it. Shell-shocked, they scream at the top of their lungs. "Call an ambulance! Hurry!" Tobias tries to stem the blood flow with trembling hands. He's completely stunned by the ordeal. What everyone doesn't know is that they've been calling me a lowlife during my five-year stay in the Rogues' den. Even if I could live 100 times over, those lives are nothing compared to Andrea. Even if I gave my life, it would never be enough—because to them, my life was never worth anything in the first place.

No quinto ano de casamento, Virgínia Prado reclamou que o suplemento de vitamina C que o marido havia comprado era amargo demais. Ela decidiu levar o frasco ao hospital. O médico, após examinar o conteúdo, ergueu os olhos e disse que aquilo não era vitamina C. — Doutor, pode repetir o que disse? — Perguntou Virgínia. — Repetir quantas vezes não vai mudar nada. — Respondeu o médico, apontando para o frasco. — Isto aqui é mifepristona. Se for ingerido em excesso, não só causa infertilidade, como também prejudica seriamente o corpo. Virgínia sentiu a garganta apertar, como se algo a estivesse sufocando. A mão dela que segurava o frasco ficou pálida de tanto que ela o apertava. — Isso é impossível. Foi o meu marido que preparou isso para mim. Ele se chama Marcus Mello. Ele também é médico aqui no hospital. O médico ergueu a cabeça e olhou para Virgínia com um olhar estranho, carregado de algo difícil de decifrar. Por fim, ele sorriu de forma enigmática e disse: — Senhora, é melhor você procurar o setor de psiquiatria. Todos aqui conhecem a esposa do Dr. Marcus. Há dois meses ela deu à luz. Não perca seu tempo, querida. Você não tem chance.

No sexto ano de casamento, meu marido não me tocava há três meses. Ele dizia que estava muito ocupado e cansado com o trabalho. Amando-o por tantos anos, acreditei sem hesitar. Mas no meu aniversário, ouvi o amigo do meu marido perguntar a ele em alemão: — Você já terminou com a outra lá fora? Ia lá todo dia, nem sei como seu corpo aguenta. — Sua esposa não se importa com isso? Meu marido soltou uma baforada de fumaça, com uma expressão indiferente. — Faz meses que não a toco. Gabriela Nunes é muito boa na cama, ainda não me cansei, que pena que ela engravidou. — Minha esposa não gosta de crianças, então dei a Gabriela uma quantia em dinheiro para ela ir para o exterior ter o filho em breve. Apertei os punhos. Lágrimas caíram em silêncio. Meu marido perguntou, preocupado, o que havia acontecido. Balancei a cabeça. — O bolo que você fez é delicioso, estou tão emocionada. O bolo era doce, mas para mim, que entendia alemão, o coração estava amargo.
