Hanna Winter beschuldigte mich, ihr Wolfsgift eingeflößt zu haben, sodass sie beinahe erstickt wäre und ihre Wölfin schwer verletzt wurde – sie war dem Tod nahe. Mein Gefährte, Alpha Leon Richter, und meine beiden Kinder wollten mir eine Lektion erteilen und sperrten meine Omega-Schwester Lena Sommer in einen riesigen Silberkäfig, um sie mit Wolfsgift zu übergießen. Ich flehte und kämpfte, doch ich konnte nichts davon verhindern. Später starb meine Schwester, und mit ihr starb auch meine Liebe zu ihnen.

On our fifth wedding anniversary, I discovered I was two months pregnant. I wanted to surprise Owen Reed with the news. However, on my way home with the gift-wrapped ultrasound report, I got caught in a street shootout. A stray bullet tore into my abdomen. Right as I collapsed on the pavement, writhing in pain, Owen appeared out of nowhere. He had told me he was away on business and would not be home until evening, but here he was, frantically shoving through the crowd. He ran right past me and toward a woman up ahead. "I'm sorry I'm late. Don't worry, nothing's going to happen to you." His voice was soft, gentler than I had ever heard it. He swept her up in his arms and disappeared down the street, surrounded by bodyguards. He never saw me. I was barely three feet away, bleeding out on the ground. When I woke up in the hospital, my baby was gone. That was when I knew I was done with this marriage.

Six months ago, I was accidentally poisoned by wolfsbane. The poison is deadly, and my days are numbered. My body gradually weakens. Today, my wolf is completely gone, and I have three days left to live. On the last day before I draw my final breath, I agree to donate my kidney to my sister. Thrilled, my mate swears that he'll make it up to me someday. My sister is being swamped with insults on the college forum after she was caught plagiarizing my Belladonna thesis. But I come forward and claim that I'm the one who plagiarized it. Mom and Dad are pleased, saying I've finally become mature. At last, I've become the perfect mate and daughter in their eyes. But why are they crying after my body has turned cold and lifeless?

Keluarga Mafia Kane memiliki aturan leluhur yang cukup longgar. Sebelum menikah, setiap ahli waris memiliki satu kesempatan untuk mengundi. Jika mendapat undian keberuntungan, mereka dapat memilih pasangan mereka sendiri, tanpa harus mengikuti perjodohan keluarga. Xavier mendapat undian kurang beruntung selama lima tahun berturut-turut. Aku sudah menjalin hubungan dengannya selama tujuh tahun, tetapi masih belum bisa menikah dengannya. Di tahun keenam ini, aku malah mendengar percakapannya dengan tangan kanannya. "Bos, kamu dapat undian keberuntungan lagi." Suara Xavier terdengar lebih dingin dari biasanya. "Ubah jadi undian kurang beruntung seperti dulu." Tangan kanannya merasa ragu dan memberi nasihat, "Bos, kamu sudah ubah undian keberuntungan menjadi undian kurang beruntung selama lima tahun berturut-turut. Kamu nggak takut Celia akan pergi? Celia itu gadis tercantik di Nepilo. Orang yang kejar dia nggak terhitung jumlahnya!" Xavier menyahut dengan percaya diri, "Nggak. Celia sangat mencintaiku. Dia nggak akan menikah dengan orang lain! Ayah Lyra meninggal saat menyelamatkanku. Lyra mau aku menemaninya selama lima tahun. Setelah tahun ini, aku akan berikan Celia pernikahan yang megah sebagai kompensasi." Secercah harapan terakhirku lenyap setelah mendengar kata-kata itu. Xavier mungkin tidak tahu bahwa Keluarga Kane memiliki satu aturan leluhur terakhir. Jika gagal mendapatkan undian keberuntungan enam kali, ahli waris itu akan kehilangan hak untuk memilih pasangan hidupnya sendiri. Sementara itu, aku akan segera menikah dengan orang lain.

After 99 bloodline fusion rituals, I finally conceived Alpha Garrick Whitefang's pup. As a mixed-blood Omega without a wolf, I understood the cost of that miracle better than anyone. The rituals burned away my lifespan. I brought this child with my blood. When I returned with the pregnancy report, ready to share the news, Garrick was waiting for me. A 4-year-old girl stood at his side, her small hand clasped in his. "Rowena, this is my surprise for you. Our pup," he said gently. Then he added, as if it meant nothing, "You will not have to endure bloodline fusion anymore. Her mother, Lyralei North, is pregnant with a male pup. Once she gives birth, I will bring him back for you to raise." His mother smiled with open relief. "No labor, no pain, and you gain two pups for free. How wonderful. The Snowclaw Pack finally has heirs." Unstoppable tears spilled down my face. For seven years as Garrick's Luna, bloodline rejection had made natural conception impossible. For five of those years, I had begged the pack elders to perform bloodline fusion rituals on me. I traded away my lifespan 99 times in total for the chance to carry his child. Only then did I understand. Garrick never wanted my pup. As long as heirs existed, it did not matter who gave birth to them. I returned to my room without a word and made one call. "Steven, does your research project still need people? I want to rejoin the team," I said quietly. "And I am leaving the Snowclaw Pack."

Eu e a minha irmã mais nova, Lydia Miller renascemos inesperadamente em uma tribo de homens-fera, onde o Deus Fera nos dá a opção de escolher nossa identidade. A primeira opção é se tornar uma mulher-fera com força extraordinária e um físico alto e imponente. A segunda opção é se tornar uma sacerdotisa com a capacidade de se reproduzir entre espécies e uma figura sedutora e graciosa. Em nossa vida anterior, Lydia escolheu se tornar uma mulher-fera para sobreviver, enquanto eu me tornei a frágil sacerdotisa. Ela acabou sendo desprezada pelos homens-fera da tribo por não ser feminina o suficiente. Enquanto isso, eu conquistei os corações dos três homens-fera mais fortes e mais bonitos da tribo com minha aparência delicada. Tornei-me a mais amada entre eles. Eventualmente, eles ascenderam ao poder e passaram a governar a floresta primordial, e eu desfrutava de glória infinita como sua sacerdotisa. Enlouquecida pelo ciúme, Lydia me empurrou para um pântano venenoso quando ninguém estava olhando. Com o último resquício de força, cravei um espinho envenenado em seu corpo, e morremos juntas. Quando abro os olhos novamente, estamos de volta ao momento em que o Deus Fera nos pede para fazer nossa escolha. Desta vez, Lydia corre para reivindicar primeiro a identidade de sacerdotisa. — Ella, desta vez eu serei a sacerdotisa. Como tenho tanta pena de você, vou deixar para você aqueles três homens-fera defeituosos e impotentes. Eu reprimo a alegria selvagem que transborda dentro de mim. O que há de tão grandioso em servir apenas como ferramenta de reprodução? Em uma sociedade primitiva, força é tudo.

Everything changed on my twelfth birthday. The brakes failed, the tragic crash, and the death of our parents. My brother blamed it all on me. He ruled as the mafia boss, yet all he showed me was hatred. The only love he had left was for our younger sister. He never believed how sick I became. He accused me of faking my sickness to get attention. He would turn to our sister with a gentleness I never received, he promised to save her, and he promised she would never die on his watch. My heart ended up beating inside her chest even after I died. He finally saw what was left of my damaged body after I was gone. The truth my brother never bothered to face would shatter his world.

As the full moon hangs above the masquerade, Apollo Cadwell shows up with Bella Lohart. One is my Beta mate, the other his childhood sweetheart. Since she doesn't have a gown for the ball, he gives her my dress instead. It's a one-of-a-kind piece I've handmade myself—priceless, even—that I'm supposed to wear for our mating ceremony. "Bella has never been to a masquerade before," he says. "A beautiful dress will help her feel more confident." I calmly hand the dress over and watch Bella slip into the gown I've designed stitch by stitch. She clings to Apollo's arm, acting sweet. "You're the best, Apollo. Can I borrow the ring on your hand as well? That moonstone is too dazzling to miss." One of our friends can no longer stand it and speaks up. "Nora spent an entire month making that ring by hand. Are you just going to give it away like that? Have you even considered Nora's feelings?" He patiently slides the ring onto Bella's finger, then replies casually, "I'm just letting her wear it for a night. Nora won't mind. I'll just soothe her afterward, and she'll be fine." He's right about one thing. I will be fine. Slowly, I began erasing myself from his world. Before leaving, I keep my promise to the Elder that I'll personally travel to The Spine of the World on the Faron Continent to continue my research on the Moonshadow Herb Alchemy Research. From that night on, Apollo and I might never cross paths again.

I've been in a relationship with my older brother's best friend, Alpha Alexander Parker, for seven years. But there's a twist—this relationship is a secretive one. After having too much moonshine to drink one day, Alexander tells me drunkenly, "Willow, Stella is with pup now. If she doesn't have a mate, she'll get exiled out of the pack by the elders. Is it okay if I give her the Luna position for now?" In a calm and docile tone, I reply, "Okay." In my previous life, I didn't agree to Alexander's suggestion. I also insisted on holding the mating ceremony with him. Meanwhile, Stella Lockhart's belly continued to grow as weeks passed. In the end, she couldn't conceal it anymore. The enraged elders eventually cast her out of the pack. After Stella was gone, Alexander no longer came home, nor did he speak a word to me. I knew that he blamed me for everything. Some time later, I died from overwhelming guilt and depression. When I was about to close my eyes, I saw Alexander rushing into my room in alarm. Stella, who was supposed to be cast out of the pack, trailed behind him with a pup in her arms. That was when I finally realized that while Alexander was Stella's savior, he was never the most suitable mate for me. Now that I'm reborn, I don't turn his suggestion down. Instead, I decide to cut off all ties with him so that he and Stella can live happily ever after.
