El día en que el primer amor agonizante de mi compañero entró en labor de parto, sus padres apostaron a diez guerreros frente a mi puerta. Lo hicieron solo para impedir que irrumpiera en la sala de parto y arruinara el nacimiento del heredero del Alfa Kaelen. Sin embargo, no aparecí. Ni siquiera cuando el llanto de un recién nacido llenó el aire. Su madre, la antigua Luna, sostuvo la mano de la otra loba y soltó un suspiro de alivio. —Liana, con nosotros aquí, ¡esa estéril de Elara jamás les hará daño a ti ni al cachorro! Kaelen secó el sudor de la frente de Liana, con los ojos llenos de adoración. —No te preocupes. Mi padre tiene hombres vigilando las fronteras de la manada.

Yo acababa de presentar mi solicitud ante el Consejo Supremo. En una semana, renunciaría a mi estatus dentro de la manada, me iría con los bebés que llevaba en el vientre y no volvería a verlo jamás.

During Black Friday, the intelligent system I develop helps the company run highly targeted ads and brings in 30 million dollars in revenue. But when I apply for the project bonus, the director rejects it. "The system is just an auxiliary tool. The performance belongs to the sales department." I hold back my frustration and pull up the system logs. "88% of the orders come from the system's targeted pushes. According to company policy, I should receive a 0.5% commission." The director glances at me, twirling his pen. "If the sales commission doesn't go to the sales department, should it go to you? And your lousy system exceeds the API limit and racks up extra fees. You still owe us a hundred thousand dollars. We'll deduct that from your salary." Three days before Christmas sales are set to begin, the system completely shuts down because of API restrictions. Late at night, the director calls me. I stare at my computer screen. "Since the system is just an auxiliary tool, why don't you start with manual targeting?"
