At two in the morning, when the pack elders' urgent summons came, I had just crawled out from beneath my childhood sweetheart, the Alpha heir Slade. My body was still aching from his rough possession. As the only human healer in the entire Blackwood Pack, I was ordered to prepare herbs as a gift for Slade's marriage alliance with the Thorne Pack. I gently lifted Slade's arm from where it was wrapped around me. After a night of passion, his powerful Alpha body was still radiating a feverish heat. I assumed this was just another wolf princess he needed to turn away, so I poked his chest playfully and asked with a smile, "Slade, what excuse are you going to use the 99th time? That you've suddenly developed an allergy to the princess?" He rolled over and kissed my forehead, his eyes heavy with sleep. "My sweet girl, this time the herbs must be prepared by you, and you alone. The success of this alliance rests on your shoulders." I froze. For the past ten years, I had been his secret solace, the one who soothed his violent rages every night. I thought I would earn a formal bonding ceremony, sooner or later. But in that moment, I understood. I was just a convenience, a body for him to use. If that was all I was to him, then I would burn everything we had to the ground. I made a call to my old mentor at the National Institute of Medicine, Professor Sterling. "Professor, that research position regarding gene... is it still open? I'm ready to return to the human world." But when that arrogant Alpha, who claimed we were 'just friends' and 'strictly professional,' discovered he could no longer catch even a faint scent of me in the air, he completely lost his mind.

On a flight, my boyfriend Cassio tried to steal a seat for his pregnant childhood sweetheart. Last time, I stopped him. I forced him to return the seat to its rightful owner. Out of spite, his sweetheart Ella refused to take the seat. She stood through the entire flight. By the time we landed, she miscarried. She bled out and died. Cassio never blamed me. He arranged her funeral quietly… Then married me. He gave me the best prenatal care, the finest doctors, and a seemingly perfect life. Until the day I went into labor. He put me on a long-haul flight with multiple layovers. And when I collapsed in a filthy airport restroom, bleeding and barely conscious— He looked down at me with pure hatred. “Serena, this is what you owe her.” “If you hadn’t interfered back then, Ella would still be alive.” “Today, you and your bastard child will pay for her and her baby.” When I opened my eyes again, I was back on that flight. Watching him berate the plainly dressed woman, I quietly put on my noise-canceling headphones. He didn’t know that woman was the beloved wife of the most dangerous mafia Don in the city. And the kick he was about to deliver— Would be their death sentence. This time, I just watched.

My husband, Zeke Larson, rushed to the police station at night because his childhood sweetheart, Snow Lowell, had run over my father-in-law and killed him. Snow clutched Zeke’s jacket and trembled in fear. “Zeke, I’m so scared. I didn’t mean to kill anyone.” Zeke pulled her into his arms at once and glared at me like he wanted to kill me. “You were in the car too. Why didn’t you stop her?” I almost laughed. He was the one who insisted that Snow drive. He said she had just gotten her license and needed more practice, so he pushed her to take his car and give me a ride. “Forget it. He’s already dead. There’s no point arguing now. “We’ll just say your dad ran into the road without looking, and that’s how Snow hit him. “We can settle this privately. Snow has a performance in Vienne next month. She can’t have a stain on her record.” I froze for a moment. When he repeated himself, I finally realized that he thought the person who died was my father. I looked at Zeke and saw how natural it all seemed to him. I could not help but laugh. “This is not a private settlement I have the right to be part of.”

My sister, Yvonne Jones, tried to murder the childhood friend of a rich heir in order to seduce him. Yvonne poisoned the woman's drink and pulled out her oxygen tube after she was sent to the hospital. When the rich heir arrived in a rush, Yvonne cried in his arms daintily. "I'm so sorry. This is all my fault. I failed to protect her." I witnessed everything in the ward but didn't say a word about it. In my previous lifetime, I stopped Yvonne from poisoning the woman. I knew the rich heir would never let her get away with it if he found out about it. Yvonne was forced to give up her plan and even praised me for my foresight. However, she ended up poisoning me instead and stabbed me in the heart with her dagger when I got dizzy. "This is your fault! Die! If you hadn't stopped me, Sean Graham would've been mine!" When I opened my eyes next, I had returned to the day of the poisoning.

Yo soy Isabela Cruz, hija del primer padrino de la Isla Santa Lucía. Crecí siendo rebelde, y mi padre, temiendo que por un arranque de impulsividad me casara con cualquier don nadie, decidió ordenar mi compromiso con Lucas Marino, heredero de la nueva y poderosa familia Marino. Aunque es un matrimonio político, al menos quería elegir mi propio anillo. Por eso asistí a la subasta privada de las familias mafiosas. Cuando el anillo de joya principal salió a la luz, levanté mi paleta de puja. Antes de que el martillo cayera, una voz femenina, arrogante y altiva, sonó a mi espalda: —¿Tú, una campesinita, quieres competir conmigo? ¡Doscientos mil! Si tienes dignidad, lárgate. El lugar quedó en un silencio repentino, roto solo por el clic sutil de las cámaras. Me giré y vi a una mujer con un vestido dorado de alta costura. Sonreía con desdén, como si toda la sala fuese su escenario personal. Antes de que pudiera responder, el subastador bajó el martillo con prisa. —¡Adjudicado! ¡Felicidades, señorita Sofía Duarte, por obtener el anillo estelar “Estrella Eterna”! Fruncí el ceño, sintiendo cómo me ardía el pecho. —¿Se puede cerrar una puja sin terminarla? Qué falta de reglas tiene este lugar. Sofía se volvió hacia mí, sus ojos recorriéndome de los pies a la cabeza con una frialdad cortante. —¿Reglas? —rió con desprecio—. Cariño, yo soy la ahijada favorita de Lucas Marino. Aquí, yo soy la regla. No pude evitar reír. Qué coincidencia tan divina: Lucas es justamente el nombre de mi prometido. Saqué el teléfono sin dudar. —Lucas, tu “ahijada” acaba de arrebatarme el anillo de compromiso que quería. Dime, ¿qué vas a hacer al respecto?

Crecí fuera del país y, para evitar que volviera con un novio extranjero, mi mamá me arregló en Ciudad de México un prometido de ensueño: Gabriel Méndez, el carismático CEO del Grupo Méndez. Regresé para nuestra fiesta de compromiso. La boutique de alta costura olía a flores blancas y cuero nuevo. Entre maniquíes impecables, encontré el vestido perfecto: un strapless largo color marfil, limpio como una promesa. Ya iba a probármelo cuando, a mi lado, una mujer alzó la barbilla, le echó un vistazo a lo que traía y le dijo a la vendedora: —Ese vestido está interesante. Tráemelo a mí. La asesora me lo arrebató con brusquedad. Se me calentó la cara. —Todo tiene un orden —dije conteniéndome—. Ese vestido lo vi primero. ¿Aquí ya no existe el “primero en llegar, primero en ser atendido”? La mujer me miró con pereza, sonrisita de superioridad. —Ese vestido cuesta veintiséis mil dólares. ¿Tú, con esa facha, puedes pagarlo? —chasqueó la lengua—. Soy la protegida de Gabriel Méndez, CEO del Grupo Méndez. En esta ciudad, la razón la pone la familia Méndez. Gabriel Méndez… ¿no es mi prometido? Saqué el celular, e hice una rápida llamada. —Tu “protegida” me acaba de arrebatar mi vestido de compromiso. ¿Cómo piensas resolverlo?
