My family home accidentally catches on fire, and my father risks his life to save my sister. He ends up with severe burns and urgently needs a blood transfusion to save his life. I'm not in the vicinity, so I ask my fiancé to help. He tells me the hospital doesn't have enough blood stored and mobilizes the city's blood banks—he does it to save my sister, who only has minor burns. Leonard Gallagher shows up when I'm at my most desperate. He takes 600ml of my blood and rushes back to my hometown. Meanwhile, I pass out by the roadside due to severe blood loss. When I wake up, Leonard tells me my father has died due to significant blood loss. I'm disfigured after knocking my head on a sharp rock. He holds my bandaged face tenderly and tells me he'll use his life to make it up to me. After three years of marriage, I'm six months pregnant when I lose consciousness and need to be rescued. That's when I overhear Leonard's conversation with a doctor. "It's been three years. Can we do the skin grafting procedure again? Zoe needs it for her cosmetic surgery." "Mrs. Gallagher has recovered very well, so it's okay to proceed with the procedure. However, even if she's Ms. Lore's sister, there's still a chance of rejection." "Her blood already flows in Zoe's veins—what does the skin matter? It's already the second time, anyway." It turns out the help I've given on the brink of death only leads to Zoe Lore's enhanced beauty. To Leonard, I'm nothing but a source of flesh and blood for Zoe. I'm tired. I think it's time to be reunited with my father.

Cuando Samuel Ledesma trajo a su nueva amante a casa por décima octava vez y hicieron el amor frente a mí, yo solo me limité a recoger en silencio la ropa que habían dejado tirada por todo el suelo. Sabía que eso era su venganza. Hace cinco años, sufrió un secuestro y estuvo a punto de morir. A pesar de sus súplicas desesperadas, yo decidí romper con él y marcharme del país. Cinco años después, se convirtió en el presidente de una empresa que cotizaba en bolsa y usó su dinero para mantenerme a su lado como su asistente. Cada cierto tiempo, traía a diferentes mujeres a casa y me mostraba, justo delante de mí, lo enamorados que estaban, solo para humillarme. Pero él no sabía que la persona que lo salvó de los delincuentes hace cinco años fui yo, y que la que no ha podido olvidarlo durante estos cinco años también era yo. Hasta que esta vez, la mujer que trajo a casa fue mi prima Judith, a quien yo había financiado durante años. Cuando ella, con una sonrisa de triunfo, acariciaba su vientre y me dijo que estaba embarazada de Samuel, yo simplemente la felicité con calma. Luego me di la vuelta y marqué un número. —Hola, respecto al proyecto de apoyo médico en la zona epidémica del que hablamos antes, ya lo he pensado bien. Estoy dispuesta a unirme.

Después de que su alma gemela muriera, el Alfa Killian Thorne pasó diez años guardándome rencor. Yo era la sanadora Omega que él nunca quiso, unida a él por deber, no por amor. Para él, yo era un remplazo. Una cicatriz en una unión que ninguno de los dos pidió. No importaba con cuánto esmero sanara sus heridas, ni con cuánta devoción permaneciera a su lado, lo único que me decía era: —Si en serio quieres complacerme, entonces vete. Pero cuando la muerte vino por nosotros, no fui yo quien cayó. Fue él. Mientras se desangraba en mis brazos, Killian me miró por última vez y susurró: —Ojalá nunca te hubiera conocido… En el funeral, su madre lloraba. —Debió quedarse con Selena. Nunca debí permitir que se fuera contigo. Su padre me quería matar con la mirada. —Te salvó la vida tres veces. ¿Por qué se tuvo que morir él y no tú? Todos lamentaban que se hubiera emparejado conmigo. Incluso yo lo lamentaba. Me expulsaron de la manada sin nada. Sin título. Sin la compensación de una Luna. Sin un hogar al que pudiera llamar mío. Y entonces… quizá la Diosa Luna se apiadó de mí. Me dio una última oportunidad para reescribir el destino. Esta vez, no suplicaré por su amor. Esta vez, no lo ataré al dolor. Esta vez, romperé el vínculo antes de que empiece. Ya podía escuchar los engranajes del destino girando, y esta vez, yo daría el primer paso.

El mundo humano fue invadido por vampiros y hombres lobo. Mis padres nobles, para complacerlos, nos entregaron a mí y a la falsa heredera en matrimonio. En mi vida pasada, la impostora Serafina eligió al hombre lobo: fuerte y leal. Yo, en cambio, escogí al vampiro: elegante y noble. La noche de luna llena, el hombre lobo en celo devoró a Serafina hasta los huesos. Y yo, tras recibir el Abrazo del vampiro, obtuve la inmortalidad. Pero mis padres, ciegos de dolor, me drogaron y me arrojaron a la cama del hombre lobo. Entre garras y colmillos, morí desgarrada. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, estaba otra vez en el día del sorteo. Esa vez, la impostora volcó la urna y, entre mimos, gritó que quería al vampiro: —Hermana, esta vez la inmortalidad será mía. Yo no puse objeción y acepté al hombre lobo brutal. Renacida, Serafina seguía siendo igual de estúpida, creyendo que la felicidad se consigue a costa de un hombre. Pero lo que yo deseo... es liberar a toda la humanidad.

I am a Catalyst. The Spark, the lore calls me. The problem with being a Spark was two-fold. Monsters were drawn to me. And I'd known so many of them that I found myself unable to be intrigued by any normal, human male. I was drawn to those dangerous breeds now, like a moth to flame, how much could I really resist their primal aggression? You'd think that with my time as a Spark, I'd have learned how to recognize each creature. But there were so many, I didn't know where to begin. Every male creature lusted for me, especially the monsters. And I for them. The trick I faced was in trying not to attract every unholy thing I came across. And when I did, in identifying which just wanted to possess me and which might actually kill me. I was clearly failing. On both accounts.
