John Garnett's secretary fed me to the dogs on my own birthday. I called his number endlessly to call for help, only for him to block my number immediately, as he fooled around with his secretary at the presidential suite in broad daylight. All I felt was agony as I was ripped into countless little pieces, still holding on to the black rose seeds he had given me when we were younger. That was not thrilling enough for the secretary, however, she buried me in the backyard of John' villa, intent on making my perished soul watch their bedroom activities. It was not until rain poured a month later, and a cluster of black roses suddenly grew in the backyard. "Where's Claire? I was just scaring her with the dogs—did she run away just to spite me?"

At a company party, Taylor Kennedy plays a game of mouth-to-mouth cookie biting with his female assistant as everyone watches. I blend into the crowd and laugh along. The room instantly falls silent. The assistant bursts into tears and plays the victim. Taylor lets go of her, turns to me, and coldly scolds me in front of the entire company. He berates me for not knowing how to read the room and being a buzzkill. Then, without hesitation, he wraps his arm around the assistant and kisses her deeply as I watch. If this were before, I would've stormed over in a rage and ripped them apart. Then, I would've humiliated her in front of everyone, not caring whose pride I trampled. But now, I feel nothing. Not even as I watch them kiss. Not even though today marks my ten-year anniversary with Taylor.

To encourage overall development, the kindergarten had asked each student to create a hand-drawn poster. My daughter Holly refused my help and insisted on doing it all on her own. Little did I know, most of the other children had their parents do the artwork for them. In comparison, Holly's delicate strokes were quickly dismissed. Not only was her work discarded into the trash, but her teacher also called her out in the parent group, criticizing her for being careless with the assignment. As I racked my brain trying to figure out how to help Holly regain her confidence in drawing, I was surprised to see Holly's artwork among the winning entries in the state-level children's art competition. But the signature wasn't hers—it belonged to another student from her class.

Sent away for years to a human college in the UK, I never understood why my parents were so desperate to keep me far from home. We lived like ghosts, no pack, no territory, just three lone wolves pretending to be normal in a world never meant for us. I didn’t question it until the night I returned and found my reality turned to ash. Walking into a house soaked in my parents' blood shattered my soul. My father’s heart had been ripped from his chest. With her final breath, my mother left me a single name: Alpha Drakan. I made a vow, I would find him and rip his heart out the same way he ripped my father’s. That promise was the only thing keeping me breathing as I tracked the hidden Wolf Kingdom, forcing my way into a world I never knew. I was to play the part of a broken stray omega seeking refuge in his pack. But then I hit a wall. Alpha Drakan was already dead. Not recently, but long before the slaughter. His son, Alpha Damir now sat on the throne. For a moment, it didn't matter, blood for blood. If the father was gone, the son would pay. Yet, doubt lingered. My mother hadn't been delirious; she was certain. If Drakan was dead, who really killed them? Rage doesn't allow for patience. I chose Damir to bleed for my grief. I got close, studying him, sharpening my hatred until I was ready to strike. But when I finally stood before him, everything went wrong. One look into his eyes and something ancient snapped. A primal heat wrapped around my chest, pulling me toward him. The man I came to kill wasn’t just my enemy. He was my mate.

They never knew about her… A fairy tale, for Irwen, was something truly extraordinary—a destiny tied by a bond that seemed unbreakably strong and magical. But her mate had betrayed her, treating everything she had done as meaningless nonsense. Fine. Irwen understood—and decided that betrayal deserved a revenge. The Alpha King had exceeded her expectations. He helped her, and even proposed a marriage contract. He began to heal her frozen heart, drawing them into a more complicated relationship. To Irwen, it felt like stepping back into a fairy tale—one that might end in pain again. “I want you to be my Luna.” “I will protect you.” “I will stay by your side.” But will those promises hold true when they’re faced with something that stands in opposition? The healer and her chains…

I leave my boyfriend without a word when he's at his lowest. He later makes a name for himself and forces me to marry him. Our relationship goes viral online and becomes the subject of everyone's envy. They all say he's desperately in love with me, but he later sleeps with other women in our bed. I fall from grace and become the city's biggest laughingstock. I don't cause a scene. Instead, I move into the guest bedroom and leave the master bedroom for them. He's furious as he grips my neck roughly. He bites my lips, drawing blood. "Why aren't you mad?" Because I'm sick. I don't have the time to wait for him to see the error of his ways anymore.
