"Yuliana, are you really moving abroad? You're not even going to talk it over with Charlie?" Madelyn Gardner asks. Yuliana Beckett lets out a self-mocking laugh. "We're already divorced." "You got a divorce?" Madelyn gasps, staring at Yuliana in disbelief. "Charlie actually agreed to that? After everything you've done for him these past three years, even a heart of stone would've softened by now." Madelyn speaks up for Yuliana, indignant on her behalf. But it's only after Yuliana boards her flight and leaves the country that Charlie Zimmer finally realizes what he's lost. He chases her across the ocean like a man possessed. In the face of his remorse, Yuliana has only one thing to say. "I don't love you anymore."

Pour le troisième jour consécutif, Lilia Clerc s'agenouillait devant la statue de la Déesse de lune, protectrice de toutes les meutes, priant avec ferveur pour Arsène Chauvet la paix de son esprit après sa mort. Lorsque l'épuisement menaçait de la submerger, des lignes de texte ont apparu soudainement devant ses yeux. « Il est vraiment impitoyable. Son amoureuse d'enfance s'est enfuie en apprenant qu'il aura bientôt la cérémonie avec une autre, et il a simulé sa propre mort pour la rejoindre ! » « Il est en train de profiter de moments romantiques dans les bois Clair de Lune avec sa maîtresse tandis que Lilia a presque pleuré toutes les larmes de son corps à cause de ce salaud. » « Malheureusement, Lilia ne s'est jamais rendu compte qu'Arsène Chauvet l'avait trompée. Quand il sera revenu après avoir simulé sa mort, elle l'épousera tout de même avec joie. » Lilia ne comprenait pas comment ces mots apparaissaient devant ses yeux, mais elle croyait que c'était un miracle accordé par la déesse. Après avoir tout lu, elle est restée bouche bée de stupéfaction et a immédiatement téléphoné à son père, Alpha de sa tribu. « Papa, concernant le mariage arrangé dont tu m'avais parlé, je suis prête à l'accepter. » Deux semaines plus tard, la nouvelle du mariage arrangé entre Lilia Clerc et l'Alpha de la tribu Saïan dans le nord s'est répandue dans tous les clans des loups. L'ami d'Arsène qui faisait partie du complot de la fausse mort s'est précipité pour confronter Lilia : « Es-tu vraiment si pressée de trouver le prochain alors qu'Arsène vient de nous quitter ? » « Il est déjà mort. Je ne peux pas rester veuve pour le reste de ma vie à cause de lui, n'est-ce pas ? »

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.

Eine Woche vor der Markierungszeremonie verlegte mein Verlobter, Alpha Max Schwarz, den Veranstaltungsort plötzlich in Glühwürmchenwald. Freunde scherzten: „Nur weil Sanna Glühwürmchen sehen will, änderst du eigenmächtig den Ort und sagst es nicht mal Luca! Was, wenn sie vor leeren Stühlen steht?“ „Außerdem war Mondseeufer doch Lucas Wahl! Glaubst du wirklich, sie würde dem zustimmen?“ Max erwiderte lässig: „Sie hat für mich bereits schwere Verbrennungen in Kauf genommen. Da wird sie mir doch in so einer Lappalie folgen.“ „Außerdem kümmert sich Luca um jede Kleinigkeit der Zeremonie. Sie wird die Änderung bestimmt mitbekommen.“ Ich lauschte unentdeckt vor der Tür, sagte nichts und schlich davon. Am Tag der Zeremonie rief Max mich nervös im Glühwürmchenwald an. „Zeremonie beginnt gleich, wo bist du?“ Ich blickte auf das funkelnde Seeufer und antwortete leise: „Ich bin schon da, wo ich hingehöre. Meine Zeremonie beginnt auch gleich.“

Pacarku, Julian Jovan adalah grandmaster catur yang jenius. Waktu umurnya 16 tahun, dia jadi grandmaster termuda yang pernah ada di Benua Nathan.

Aku diam-diam kemas kopernya untuk Kejuaraan Dunia dan doakan yang terbaik untuknya. Julian nggak tahu, saat dia mengangkat piala kejuaraan di hadapan dunia, aku dengan tubuhku yang sekarat sedang menandatangani surat persetujuan kematianku sendiri.

Sebastian Miller was my Alpha mate. Because I asked him to remove his Beta, Charlotte Lewis, from her position, we had a huge fight. After that, he shut me out completely. Three months later, he assumed I had realized my mistake and suggested that we go on a vacation to Highfeather Forest. The moment Charlotte found out, she exploded. She screamed at Sebastian, made a scene, and even threatened to leave the pack. To calm her down, Sebastian canceled our trip. He used a business deal as an excuse and gave the vacation spot to her instead. Afterward, he offered me a shallow explanation. “I’m the Alpha of this pack. The pack’s interests have to come first. As the Luna, you should understand that.” I looked at the post Charlotte shared on her feed. The two of them stood by the lake, close and intimate, like true mates enjoying a private getaway. I knew everything they had done, but I said nothing. I only nodded. Sebastian mistook my silence for understanding. He seemed pleased with me, even promised that one day he would make the trip up to me. What he did not know was that I had already signed the withdrawal agreement to leave the pack. I had also gone to a witch and obtained the potion to sever a mate bond. It was time for this to end.

My Alpha mate's childhood sweetheart and I are pregnant at the same time. To protect her reputation, he announces to the public that her pup is his. However, he claims that my pup is a bastard that I conceived after having an affair with another man. I go from being the noble Luna to a despised slut everyone scorns instantly. When I question my mate, Simon Latham, he shrugs and says, "Xandra has always been a goody two-shoes. She won't be able to handle the gossip from being pregnant without a mate. You're the Luna. Isn't it your duty to help your people?" On that day, any form of affection and love I ever felt for him die down completely. I secretly schedule an abortion and book a plane ticket. From now on, I will leave Simon for good.

While Adrian was out negotiating a partnership, Vivian slipped nuts into my food — the one thing she knew I was deathly allergic to. I broke out in blisters all over during the negotiation, making a scene in front of everyone. But Vivian didn't care. She pulled me aside and sneered, "You, Luna, spoiled as you are, just stay there and be a pretty face. Leave the real business to me and Adrian." I lost my temper and slapped her hard across the face. The next second, Adrian appeared in front of Vivian, pulling her into his arms. The look he gave me was pure reproach. "You're the Luna — is this how you treat your own pack members? Vivian didn't do it on purpose. Why are you making her life difficult?" Vivian pressed herself against him, eyes wide and glistening. "Luna, I know I'm clumsy. You're not really going to hold a grudge over something so small, are you?" That night, he didn't come back to our hotel room. I sat on the bed and waited until dawn, tears streaming silently down my face. Through the mate bond, I could feel exactly where he'd been — with Vivian, the entire night. He'd already betrayed me. Numb with heartbreak, I picked up my phone and called Alpha’s father.

Une semaine avant la cérémonie d'union avec l'Alpha, il a soudainement changé le lieu pour la forêt des lucioles. Un ami a plaisanté : « C'est juste parce que Lily Moreau voulait voir des lucioles que tu as modifié l'endroit de la cérémonie sans prévenir Alice Durand ? Et si elle se présentait à l'ancien lieu ? » « En plus, Alice a choisi les rives du lac de Lune. Elle va accepter ? » Julien Richard a répondu avec désinvolture : « Elle a bien accepté de subir de graves brûlures pour me sauver, alors changer le lieu de la cérémonie, elle ne va pas me désobéir pour ça. » « D'ailleurs, elle s'est occupée de toute l'organisation de la cérémonie elle-même, elle va certainement remarquer que j'ai modifié l'endroit. » Derrière la porte, j'ai écouté leur conversation en silence, puis je suis partie sans rien dire. Le jour de la cérémonie d'union, Julien m'a appelée d'urgence depuis la forêt des lucioles. « La cérémonie va bientôt commencer, où es-tu ? » Calme, j'ai regardé les reflets scintillants à la surface du lac et ai répondu : « Je suis déjà arrivée, et ma cérémonie va aussi bientôt commencer. »

I had taken leave from the sealed research institute where I'd been confined for six years, just so I could attend my daughter's kindergarten graduation. The moment I stepped through the gates, I froze. A woman holding a little boy by the hand was shoving my daughter, Amy, straight into the gutter. She slapped Amy across the face, then sneered for everyone to hear, spitting venom as she called my little girl a filthy wretch. Drenched in filthy water, Amy dropped to her knees before the woman, trembling in humiliation. Rage burned through me. I stormed forward and slapped the woman across the face. But instead of shame, she jabbed a finger at my nose and shouted, "Do you even know who I am? To offend me is to offend the entire Grant family!" Tears welled in Amy's eyes as she tugged at my sleeve, pleading in a choked voice, "Please leave… she's my dad's nanny. My dad will punish you if you hurt her." The woman planted herself in front of me, her arrogance towering. "The Grant family rules this city. You think you can run from us?" For a brief moment, I stood stunned, then calmly pulled out my phone and dialed my husband. "Your nanny says you run Bexley City. Well, I think that's about to change."
