Shine Meaning

How would you feel knowing that your lifelong dream will be the cause of your downfall? Would life still hold any sort of meaning after that? Well, in the blink of an eye, everything I’ve had collapsed. Since I was young, I’ve always dreamed about the day I’d shift and become a strong, fierce, and powerful female wolf who can carry her family’s legacy. I wanted to become one of the first remarkable female Alphas and make my father proud. But fate had other plans. I was never truly my family’s child. And now, I must pay the price for a crime I never committed. The cruelest part? The one destined to punish me is none other than my mate, the Alpha King himself.

Growing up in multiple foster homes left Alina with little to no knowledge of what love looks like up until she meets the man who changes her life, making her his wife and giving her a home of comfort; only it isn’t death that does them part. It is the pride and cheating nature of her husband, Zach Stewart. When after 10 years and many struggles to have a child, Alina is reduced to nothing more than a mistress and stay home help, and threatened with a divorce when she speaks up; signing the divorce papers leaves her with a broken heart, and her body bare in the bed of a strange man. Now her one-night lover shows up to her workplace with his sick father demanding that she take on the role of care nurse. Alina is torn. Should she give in to the temptation that tugs at her mind and body? Or should she walk away from the man that is willing to show her the true meaning of love?

The mother of Mr. Burr, the hospital director, was critically ill and needed emergency surgery. My wife, wanting to help her beloved crush, Cedric Grey, take the spotlight, deliberately kept the surgery time from me. By the time I finally arrived—late, Mr. Burr stopped me from entering the operating room and scolded me harshly for being unprofessional and unethical. Once I realized what my wife was doing, I handed the lead surgeon position over to her beloved crush. “Well, since you're so eager to shine,” I said coldly, “you’d better not screw it up.” The nurses tried to talk me out of it. They said I was being impulsive, that this was a rare chance to prove myself. However, none of them knew that I was the only doctor in the entire country capable of performing this rare and complex heart valve surgery. Even if Cedric managed to buy time with some miracle drug and made it look like the patient was improving, without my diagnosis and surgical skills, the operation was doomed to fail. And when that happens, he’d be held responsible. As for my wife, her blind favoritism would come back to haunt her.
