Separating Yourself From The World

During the holidays, Ellie Harper, my wife who's a hospital director, tells me once again that she has taken on a few operations at the last minute, so she can't go home with me to spend time with my parents. But soon, I see her assistant, Jaiden Roth's social media feed. Apparently, Ellie is slaughtering pigs at Jaiden's village in preparation for a holiday party. The caption writes, "Dad says having a daughter-in-law who works as a doctor is amazing. To think that she's this skilled in slaughtering pigs as well!" With a cold smirk curling on my lips, I leave a like on the post. I also comment, "That's her major, after all." My colleagues keep gossiping among themselves in various group chats. They all think I'll definitely get into a huge fight with Ellie this time. Ellie wastes no time in calling me. I can already imagine the impatient look on her face and the way her brows are drawn into a tight frown. "Jaiden's village is hosting a huge party for the holidays, so I'm there to lend them a helping hand! What's with that passive-aggressive tone of yours, huh? "There isn't anyone who can help out in his household, you know! Do you know how badly it'll reflect on his family if no one from his side helps out at all? I was just helping him out as a friend! What's there to kick up a fuss over? "Hurry up and remove the like and the damn comment! Don't make life difficult for Jaiden at the hospital, you hear me? "Once I get back from the village, I'll pick a good date to go back to your hometown with you, okay?" Another empty promise from Ellie, it seems. All she does is making empty promises that she can never keep nowadays. I'm completely stuffed with those promises, and I can't afford to wait for her anymore. Once the holidays are over, I'll receive the divorce certificate marking the end of our seven-year marriage once and for all.

Allison Whitney didn’t have much time left in this world, and she knew it very well. When she discovered that she had cancer, she coincidentally ran into her ex-husband six years after their divorce. Although Matthew Laurier had someone else in his heart now, he decided to accompany her throughout her illness, to support her until she went into remission. Unfortunately, Allison also knew very well that Matthew was no longer in love with her like he used to be. The treatments soon proved to be ineffective, so she eventually passed away with regrets in her heart. But then, when she opened her eyes the next moment, she discovered that she had traveled back into the past, to the time before she divorced Matthew. Determined to make things right this time, Allison vowed to never leave Matthew again and take advantage of this second chance to live a happy and healthy life with him.

Since I was a kid, my parents drilled it in—you're gonna be a Corleone girl, Giovanni Corleone's property. "This is just an alliance. Don't expect anything more." That's what he said on our wedding night. So I played the part—quiet, polished, dutiful. Then year three hit, and suddenly Giovanni couldn't keep his hands off me. Every night, something new. I thought maybe—finally—he felt the same way I had all along. Then I caught him kissing his stepmom. Funny. Just the night before, he told me kissing me made him sick. "I've been practicing with her—for your sake." So yeah. All that heat? Just rehearsal for her. So I ran. Took back my life—and our unborn daughter. The Don lost his mind looking for me. Begged me to come back—with the kid. But I would not stop for him anymore. I turned and walked straight toward the stage that was always mine.

On the eve of her after wedding party, Lyra Dominic paid the ultimate price for trusting the wrong man… her Alpha husband murdered her with his own hands. But the Moon Goddess grants her a second chance. Reborn on the very day she’s meant to complete the mate bond with Adrian Massimo, Lyra wastes no time. This time, she won’t be the victim. She flees the mating ceremony and makes a bold move, straight into the hands of her husband’s sworn rival… Killian Castillo, the ruthless Alpha who answers to no one. What began as a desperate alliance quickly spirals into something far more dangerous… obsession, protection, desire. And when Killian’s wolf recognizes Lyra as his true mate, everything changes. Killian Castillo never expected to fall for the she-wolf who barged into his life like a storm. But now that his wolf has claimed her, he won’t let her go. This time, Lyra isn’t just rewriting her fate… she’s taking her revenge one kiss, one bite, one mark at a time.

I waited eight years. The day I was supposed to become Luna, my fated mate, Alpha Cayden, rejected me in front of the entire pack. Because I was barren. He severed our mate bond and kissed my omega assistant, Lilith. Turns out, they had already mated. The bitch was pregnant with his child. Rage consumed me. I was ready to leave it all behind, but his mother threw me in a silver cell. He planned to strip me of my wolf and my gift—and give my powers to his new Luna, Lilith. Broken, I fled, only to be attacked by rogues and left for dead in a pool of my own blood. When I woke again, I was in a strange place. My memory was wiped clean. Alpha Rhys of the Shadowcrest Pack was by my side, promising to take care of me. And me, the barren wolf, I was pregnant… But I can no longer remember who the child's father was.

Born without a wolf, I was an outcast in my own pack. The only one who chose me was my Alpha husband… until I found out my sister was carrying his heir. When I tried to leave, he refused to break our bond. So I ran… straight into the arms of the one man I should never have touched, his uncle, the Alpha King. With him, my dormant wolf awakened. The mate bond snapped into place. For one reckless night, I was his. After weeks, he rejected me before his entire court. Now I’m carrying a child both Alphas could claim. My husband has locked me away for the heir. The King pretends I don’t exist. My sister wants me destroyed. They thought I was weak. They forgot I survived without a wolf. Now I must decide; Will I remain their prisoner or will I fight for my freedom, my child, and the crown they never meant for me to wear?

"Whatever my father owed you, I'll pay it back!" The always proud Xander knelt on the ground with red-rimmed eyes, frantically begging her to come back over and over again...

She loves him, but he hates her. Heartbroken and despaired, she goes away after he breaks her family apart and leaves her disfigured.

"You owe it to me!"She feels like crying, but the tears just won't come. She has come back for revenge … but … but her scum ex-husband is way too clingy! What should she do? Help!

The day my adopted sister Xina was diagnosed with a rare blood disease, I was captured by rival pack hunters and taken across pack territories. In a hidden den beneath the mountains, I was chained like an omega during the day and subjected to endless humiliation. At night, they locked me in a moonless chamber and extracted my blood and bone marrow while I was conscious. By the time my pack found me, my body was broken beyond recognition, covered in bite marks, and infected with numerous diseases that even our supernatural healing couldn't combat. My mother, Alpha Serena, looked at me barely clinging to life, and howled so painfully she collapsed several times. My brother Ivan even traveled beyond our ancestral lands to find healers who could treat me. But in my half-conscious state, I accidentally overheard their conversation: "Mother, we captured Lisa just to save Xina, and let her be violated by so many rogues. Now we're taking one of her kidneys too—isn't that going to kill her?" Mother was silent for a long time, then choked up and said: "For Xina, I had no choice." "Besides, Lisa challenged Xina's rank all these years, made her severely depressed. This is just me atoning to Xina on her behalf." "It doesn't matter if she's been tainted. From now on, we'll keep her in the packhouse and take care of her. That'll count as compensation." As the silver blade sliced into my body, tears streamed uncontrollably from my eyes. A den with four wolves... was simply too crowded.
