Sarah The Hedgehog

A week before my death, my Alpha mate's childhood sweetheart Sarah returned to our pack. That night, he didn't come home. The next day, I received his mind-link. "I've purchased a mate-bond severing potion from the pack witch. Come home now so we can break our bond." In our pack, the Moon Goddess was very serious about mate bonds. Once two wolves chose to form a mate, the mate bond could not be severed, unless the witch's potion was used. This potion was very expensive, costing up to $500,000 per bottle. I smiled bitterly. He was very generous to sever the bond with me. I coughed twice before answering, "I'm in the healing center." His voice turned ice cold. "I don't care where you are. Even if you're about to die, you need to come back." I calmly replied, "Fine." He didn't know that I really was dying. Three years ago, during a rogue wolf attack, I blocked the silver dagger for him to protect him while he was unconscious. I was poisoned by silver and became weaker and weaker over the past three years. I only had one week left to live. On the day of my funeral, my mate was busy holding his marking ceremony with Sarah. Later, he knelt before my grave in pristine white ceremonial clothes, clutching my headstone and whispering through tears. "If there's another life after this one, I still want to marry you." That day was his marking ceremony with his childhood sweetheart. It was also my funeral.

Once I became pregnant, I was hailed as the most precious woman in the underworld. My husband, the new Don of the Jenkins family, shut down an entire private hospital wing for my check-ups, while my father, the Collins Don, summoned every Michelin-starred chef in New York to the estate, just so I could pick whatever I craved. The baby I carried was destined to be the sole heir of the two most powerful mafia families. But on the day we were to sign the papers securing my child's inheritance, they both vanished. "An urgent family matter came up," my husband, Vincent, said, kissing my forehead. "We can finalize the child's inheritance when we get back. There's no rush." Shortly after they left, I received a link to an anonymous live stream. My father's voice came from the video, colder than I had ever heard it. "You're saying your marriage contract with Evangeline was never valid. Doesn't that make the child a bastard?" Vincent, lounging in a club, blew a smoke ring. Cradled in his arms was my half sister, Sarah. "Evangeline has always had all the love and affection. Her child will want for nothing." "Sarah has been mocked for her status for years. I have to make things right for her, give our child a legitimate name." In that moment, my heart seized, and I could barely breathe. Then my phone vibrated again. It was a text message: "Welcome home to the Gallo family, my queen." "Just give the word, and the child you carry will bear the Gallo name and become the most powerful heir in the American underworld."

Mi hermana gemela menor, Emma Lawson, siempre ha sido la favorita de todos porque está enferma. Esa vez, una tormenta de nieve nos atrapó en la montaña y llegó el helicóptero de rescate con espacio solo para una persona más. Tengo cáncer terminal y estuve más que dispuesta a dejar que Emma ocupara mi lugar. Sin embargo, de repente, ella se agarró la cabeza y lloró porque se sentía mareada. Toda mi familia corrió a su lado y juntos la empujaron hacia la cabina sin siquiera dejar espacio para discusión. Mi esposo, Leon Ziegler, me tocó el brazo fracturado y dijo: —Sarah, tú tendrás que esperar al próximo helicóptero. Mi hija, Daria Ziegler, incluso me lanzó una bola de nieve. —La tía Emma está más enferma que tú. Deja de intentar quitarle el puesto. Solo hasta que el helicóptero despegó vi a Emma pegada a la ventana, sacándome la lengua con aire de suficiencia. Ella había estado mintiendo todo este tiempo. Cuando finalmente me rescataron, los médicos me dijeron que me quedaban tres días de vida. Entonces decidí cambiar todo lo que tenía por un poco del cariño de mi familia.

“Father, please!” I immediately fell on my knees. “I will be a good slave to you, I will work harder and try to make your meals on time! I'm your only child for gods sake, you can't do this to me, father. You're all I've got and even if you continue to treat me this way, I'll endure every pain you inflict on me but I'll never ever get married to that wicked Alpha!” I tried to grab his leg, but he pushes me away and I fell face down with a thud. My feelings and desires didn't matter to him. I was nothing more than a pawn in his game of politics and power. “You are nothing but an omega. A wolf less wolf. You're even useless and you got no skills. How then can I rely on you when I'm gone. Oh my goodness, I curse the day you were born. It would have been better you had died with your mother than live to make me see your terrible cursed face". ***** Sarah Adams, faces abuse from her pack and her father, whom she looked up to for protection. It became a disaster when she was forced to marry the cruel Alpha Asher on her 18th birthday. He rejected her harshly after she caught him with the pack's cook. After the rejection, she soon found freedom in a new pack, made friends, and experienced happiness for the first time. One night, she helped a wounded man who turned out to be the Alpha of the pack. When her identity was exposed, she faced accusations of treason and became the Alpha's slave, not knowing he's her fated mate.

The day before my mating ceremony, my mother caught my soon-to-be mate Derek in a passionate embrace with my step-sister Scarlett. The anger triggered my mother's heart attack need a transplant surgery immediately Fortunately, I was compatible with my mother for a heart transplant. I decided to give her my heart and use an artificial one instead. Faced with the enormous cost of the surgery, Derek, my coward of a mate, vanished. I went to beg my step-sister Scarlett, who had married an elderly but wealthy Alpha Marcus, for help. She claimed she didn't have enough cash, yet the next day she was showing off her new enchanted moonstone necklace. In my darkest hour, Alexander Stone appeared. He was the most renowned healer and Marcus’s son，the future Alpha. He covered all the costs and offered to perform the surgery himself. When I woke up, Alexander's face was filled with regret. He told me my mother had suffered a sudden rejection reaction during surgery and passed away. He pulled my tear-stained face to his chest, declaring his love and begging me to let him care for me for eternity. Seven years into our mating bond, I accidentally overheard his conversation with his beta: "So you gave Sarah's heart to Scarlett instead, right in front of her mother? That was brutal, even for you." "What could I do? Her heart matched Scarlett's perfectly." "But we had already found a suitable donor heart! Scarlett only needed to wait half a day. Why were you so impatient?" Alexander sighed, his voice heavy with emotion: "I couldn't bear to see Scarlett suffer, not even for a second."

"Sign it and leave. Sarah needs me more than you do." Clara Vance had spent three years as a "perfect" ghost—the invisible, dutiful wife of the ruthless billionaire Julian Thorne. She had cooked his meals, ironed his shirts, and endured his coldness, all while hiding her true identity as the world’s most sought-after tech prodigy. She thought her love could melt his icy heart. She was wrong. On their third anniversary, Julian handed her divorce papers. His reason? His first love had returned, and he wanted to give her the life Clara was currently "occupying." Clara didn’t beg. She didn’t cry. She signed the papers with a steady hand and disappeared that same night, carrying a secret that would change his world forever—she was pregnant with his heir. Five Years Later. Julian Thorne is a man haunted by a shadow. He has everything he ever wanted, yet he feels nothing but a void where his "unwanted" wife used to be. At a global economic summit, he prepares to meet the mysterious, "Iron Lady" CEO of the V-Tech Empire—a woman who has been systematically crushing his businesses for months. When the doors open, Julian’s heart stops. Dressed in a power suit, radiating cold elegance and diamond-hard confidence, stands Clara. But she isn’t alone. A mini-version of Julian stands by her side, looking at him with the same icy glare he once gave her. "Mr. Thorne," Clara smiles, and it’s the coldest thing he’s ever seen. "I believe you’re here to discuss the terms of your surrender?" The chase is on. The billionaire is on his knees. But this time, the Queen isn't looking for a King—she’s looking for revenge.

My husband, an Army regimental commander, was killed in action. Before his body was even cold, I didn't hesitate. I filed for his death certificate and notified the Army, the Social Security Administration, and our bank. Then, three days later—on the very day his twin brother married his childhood sweetheart—I moved out, changed the locks, and remarried quietly at the courthouse, taking my son and the full line-of-duty death benefits with me. To everyone else, I was heartless. Cold. I let them curse me. I just looked into my “brother-in-law's” bloodshot eyes and felt a quiet, cruel satisfaction. Only I knew the truth. In my last life, I discovered the body sent home wasn't my husband's at all—it was his identical twin brother's. I ran to confront him, but by chance I overheard him and my mother-in-law whispering. "Mom, Sarah is strong. And we have our son. She'll be okay. The benefits will take care of her. But Amy has waited for my brother all these years. If she finds out he's dead, she might do something drastic." Their words struck me like lightning. I tried to expose them, but my husband knocked me out. He told everyone grief had driven me insane. He locked me in the garage apartment and, with cold detachment, married his sweetheart. And when that woman complained my son was too loud, my husband slipped sleeping pills into our boy's juice—right as my crying child was coming to look for me. My son never woke up. The day they buried him hastily, I ended my life in the garage, utterly broken. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day they delivered my brother-in-law's body to our home.

Meine Jugendliebe, die mir die Ehe versprochen hatte, sobald wir das Studium abgeschlossen hätten, machte der falschen Erbin Klara Weber einen Heiratsantrag – ausgerechnet bei meiner Abschlussfeier. Und Michael Hoffmann, der in den Augen aller als aristokratischer Mönch galt, erklärte mir öffentlich seine Liebe – nur kurz nachdem sich meine Jugendliebe verlobt hatte. Fünf Jahre lang war er in unserer Ehe außerordentlich liebevoll und verehrte mich zutiefst. Bis ich zufällig sein Gespräch mit einem Freund belauschte. „Michael, Klara ist inzwischen berühmt geworden. Willst du weiterhin mit Sarah Theater spielen?“ „Klara kann ich sowieso nicht heiraten, das spielt keine Rolle mehr. Außerdem kann sie, solange sie bei mir ist, Klaras Glück nicht im Wege stehen.“ Und seine kostbaren religiösen Schriften – in jeder einzelnen stand Klaras Name: „Möge Klara sich von ihren Obsessionen befreien, möge sie Frieden für Körper und Seele finden.“ „Möge Klara alles erhalten, was sie sich wünscht, möge ihre Liebe frei von Sorgen sein.“ ... „Klara, wir sind in diesem Leben nicht füreinander bestimmt, ich wünsche mir nur, dass wir im nächsten gemeinsam gehen können.“ Fünf Jahre der Selbsttäuschung, und ich erwachte in einem Augenblick. Ich besorgte mir eine falsche Identität und plante einen Ertrinkungsunfall. Von nun an müssen wir uns, Leben für Leben, nie wieder begegnen.

Begitu aku hamil, aku dielu-elukan sebagai perempuan paling berharga di dunia mafia. Suamiku, kepala keluarga baru Keluarga Jasman, sampai menutup satu area rumah sakit swasta khusus untuk pemeriksaan kehamilanku. Sementara ayahku, Chandra, memanggil semua koki berbintang Michelin di Kota Nordi ke kediaman keluarga, hanya agar aku bisa makan apa pun yang kuinginkan. Bayi yang kukandung ditakdirkan menjadi satu-satunya pewaris dari dua keluarga mafia paling berkuasa. Namun, pada hari ketika kami seharusnya menandatangani dokumen yang menjamin warisan anakku, mereka berdua menghilang. "Ada urusan keluarga mendesak," kata suamiku, Desta, sambil mengecup keningku. "Kita bisa selesaikan urusan warisan anak ini setelah kita kembali. Nggak perlu terburu-buru." Tak lama setelah mereka pergi, aku menerima sebuah tautan menuju siaran langsung anonim. Suara ayahku terdengar dari video itu, dingin, lebih dingin dari yang pernah kudengar sebelumnya. "Jadi kamu bilang kontrak pernikahanmu dengan Eva nggak pernah sah. Bukankah itu berarti anak itu adalah anak haram?" Vincent tampak bersantai di sebuah klub, mengembuskan cincin asap rokok. Dalam pelukannya ada saudari tiriku, Sarah. "Eva selalu mendapatkan cinta dan perhatian," ujarnya santai. "Anaknya nggak akan kekurangan apa pun." "Sarah sudah bertahun-tahun diejek karena statusnya. Aku harus memperbaiki semuanya untuknya, memberinya keadilan, memberi anak kami nama yang sah." Saat itu juga, dadaku terasa diremas. Napasku tersengal, nyaris tak bisa bernapas. Kemudian, ponselku bergetar lagi. Sebuah pesan masuk. [ Selamat datang kembali di Keluarga Gandara, ratuku. ] [ Sebut saja satu kata dan anak yang kamu kandung akan menyandang nama Keluarga Gandara serta menjadi pewaris paling berkuasa di dunia mafia Amira. ]
