On the night of our mating ceremony, my Alpha, Damian, and I were ambushed by a rival pack. When I opened my eyes again, I was back in the past, before we had marked each other. In my previous life, we were true mates, chosen by the moon goddess, and had been together for seven years. I sacrificed everything to help him become the most powerful Alpha, yet he refused to even give me a pup. Only later did I learn that Damian's heart had always belonged to another—Aria, a she-wolf from a powerful bloodline. Reborn, I decided to let him chase his ambition. I severed our mate bond with my own hands and chose a completely different path. Seven years later, he became the most powerful Alpha in the alliance. At the annual summit, he and his beloved Aria announced their mating. When he saw me standing alone, he sneered. "Selene, I know you're still in love with me. You've loved me across two lifetimes. I'm the most exceptional Alpha you'll ever know." "But you need to stop destroying yourself over me." I ignored him, pulling my son into my arms. Damian's eyes flared crimson, his wolf's control slipping. "You told me you would only ever bear my pups!"

Beim neunundneunzigsten Mal, dass mein Alpha-Gefährte unsere Gedankenverbindung kappte, war ich bereits in der Endphase des Wolfsgeistverfalls. Ich schleppte meinen gebrochenen Körper in die Rathalle. Die kalten Marmorstufen schabten an meinen Fußsohlen, und mit jedem Schritt durchzog ein stechender Schmerz meine Brust. „Ich bin hier, um einen Antrag auf Verlassen des Rudels zu stellen.“ Der Ratsbeamte musterte meine blasse, gebeugte Gestalt mit mitleidigem Blick und fragte leise: „Sind Sie sich ganz sicher? Sie würden damit den Schutz des Rudels verlieren.“ Seit meiner Kindheit war meine Wölfin unstet, sodass ich stets kränklich und schwach war. Seit mein Vater meine adoptierte Schwester Lydia nach Hause brachte, als ich zehn war, behandelten mich meine Eltern wie eine Schande für die Familie. Obwohl ich jahrelang seine markierte Gefährtin war, versprach Caleb mir niemals eine Luna-Zeremonie. Er nahm mich selten zu Rudelversammlungen mit, kaum jemals. Infolgedessen wusste kaum jemand im Rudel, wer ich war. „Das spielt keine Rolle“, sagte ich mit erstaunlich ruhiger Stimme, trotz aller Anstrengung. „In drei Tagen werde ich ohnehin sterben.“

During a battle with a rival pack, my Alpha mate, Damien, burst into my private healing sanctuary. He was carrying Lyra, a Beta warrior who had supposedly taken a poisoned blade for him. The next day, under the watchful eye of the Moon Goddess, Damien was forced by the pack elders to apologize. He explained that bringing an outsider into my sanctuary was a desperate act in a moment of crisis. After all, Lyra had saved his life. But that night, in the bed we once shared, Lyra stabbed herself with a dagger laced with wolfsbane and framed me for the attack. He chose to believe her. The rejection ceremony ripped my wolf from my soul. I was cast out—a powerless exile, left for dead in a storm, to be torn to shreds by rogues. But what Damien never knew was that the ancient curse afflicting him could only be healed by me. When I opened my eyes again, I was back at the beginning: the moment Damien carried that woman in, demanding I save her.

On the night of the Blood Moon Pack's grand ceremony, my Alpha fiancé Ethan solemnly announced before all pack members that we would soon complete our lifelong marking. The pack's blessings surged toward us like a tide. My face flushed red as I pressed against his strong chest, which carried the scent of pine. Suddenly, a figure blocked the moonlight at the temple entrance. Ivy, my friend who had vanished five years ago, stepped inside, accompanied by a pup with eyes like stars. Ignoring everyone's gaze, she walked straight toward us. Her collar slowly slipped down, revealing a deep Alpha bite mark on her neck. Under the moonlight, that mark was as shocking as a brand. "Lucas, come to meet your father."

During a battle between packs, both my adopted sister Chloe and I were injured. A Rogue tore me apart, leaving me a mangled heap of flesh and blood. My wolf was already fading from my spirit. But my Alpha mate, Damon, ran straight to Chloe. She had nothing more than a scratch on her face. He refused to use his Alpha power to save me, blaming me for the entire disaster. "Elena, if you hadn't slowed us down, none of this would have happened! How could Chloe have gotten hurt?" "You're not worth wasting the pack's resources on." In the end, I was left for dead in the forest, unclaimed and forgotten. And when the truth came out that I had died to save him? That cold-blooded Alpha who rejected me so viciously went insane.

Setelah kematian kakakku, aku menandatangani pernikahan kontrak lima tahun dengan suaminya, Alexander Valendra yang adalah seorang mafia. Aku menjadi ibu tiri bagi keponakanku yang berusia lima tahun, Adriel Valendra. Di hari ulang tahunku, aku memakai kalung berlian milik kakakku yang sudah meninggal tanpa tahu apa maknanya. Saat acara makan malam keluarga, Adriel berjalan mendekat sambil membawa segelas anggur merah dan menyiramkannya ke wajahku. Anggur merah itu menetes di pipiku, aromanya yang tajam menusuk mataku dan mengotori gaunku yang putih. Dia menatapku, sorot matanya sedingin dan sekejam ayahnya. "Jangan pikir kamu bisa menggantikan ibuku hanya karena kamu sudah jadi bagian dari Keluarga Valendra," katanya sambil menyeringai. "Kamulah penyebab kematiannya." "Aku berharap kamulah yang mati. Jadi aku bisa menghancurkan batu nisanmu, dan bukan merayakan ulang tahun konyol ini." "Aku bersumpah, begitu aku dewasa nanti, hal pertama yang kulakukan adalah menenggelamkan kamu ke Sungai Mandira!" Kenangan itu menusuk setajam anggur tadi, dan yang bisa kurasakan hanyalah putus asa. Aku menatap anak yang sudah kuasuh selama lima tahun seperti anakku sendiri, dan rasa perih menusuk di dadaku. Aku dulu berpikir aku bisa sepenuhnya menyerahkan diriku untuk Keluarga Valendra, dan memenangkan hatinya dengan kasih sayang. Namun sekarang, aku hanya lelah dengan semuanya. Keluarga ini tak punya cinta, dan anak itu memandangku seperti musuh yang harus dihancurkan. Aku berhenti menipu diri sendiri. Sudah waktunya untuk melepaskan semuanya. Namun setelah aku pergi, Alexander dan Adriel kembali padaku, merayap seperti pecundang yang ketakutan, dan memohon ampun padaku.

La noche antes de que mi prometido, Soren, y yo partiéramos hacia el Norte de Europa para comenzar nuestra nueva vida, los sonidos de una animada discusión se filtraron desde su club privado. —Dios mío, jefe, ¿estás loco? ¿Por qué esta alianza matrimonial repentina con la familia Rosetti para hacer una jugada por Italia? ¿No dijiste que dejarías esta vida con Abby y te dirigirías al norte? Soren se reclinó en un sofá de cuero, su voz fue de indiferencia y amortiguada por una nube de humo. —Los planes cambian. Además, recuerda, yo soy el que la hizo quien es. Una vez que vea el nuevo imperio que estoy construyendo, ese pequeño canario volverá volando a mi jaula. Esa mujer no puede vivir sin mí. Me quedé en las sombras del club, con una copa de vino en la mano, y un dolor fuerte floreciendo en mi pecho. El regalo de aniversario que había elegido con tanto cuidado para Soren todavía estaba en mi bolso, esperando a que se lo diera. Salí del club lleno de humo, tiré el regalo al cubo de basura más cercano y reservé un billete de ida al Norte de Europa. Pero lo que él no sabía era que, justo como él podía traicionar nuestro futuro por Mónica, yo podía abandonarlo por el mío. Todos esos años que pasamos bailando con la muerte nunca fueron sólo por ella.

Pela centésima vez, meu companheiro Alfa, Ryker, usou sua autoridade contra mim, ameaçando rejeitar nosso vínculo se eu não me sacrificasse pela minha irmã gêmea, Ivy. Não chorei nem protestei. Apenas assinei os papéis que acabariam com nosso vínculo de companheiros. Me rendi, entreguei o Alfa que amei por dez anos à minha irmã. Alguns dias depois, Ivy causou uma cena no Banquete da Aliança da Alcateia, humilhando a filha do Alfa de Silvermoon. Mais uma vez, dei um passo à frente para tomar o lugar dela, suportando a dor de uma marca de prata desfigurante. Mais tarde, quando exigiram que eu testasse a segurança do Ritual de Regeneração do Espírito do Lobo com o meu próprio corpo para minha irmã, aceitei com um sorriso. Meus pais, Betas da alcateia, com os olhos vermelhos de tanto chorar, disseram que eu finalmente estava sendo a irmã mais velha que deveria ser. Até mesmo Ryker, que sempre foi tão distante comigo, ficou diante da adega. Ele acariciou suavemente minha bochecha pela primeira vez em muito tempo e disse em voz baixa: — Harper, não tenha medo. Assim que o teste terminar, vou te levar para ver as auroras no Lago da Deusa da Lua. Mas ele não sabia que, independentemente do resultado do teste, nunca mais me veria. Meu espírito de lobo já estava se apagando. Nada poderia me salvar. Desta vez, quando eu fechasse os olhos, seria para sempre.

My Vampire fiancé, Vincent, was the powerful prince of New York's most influential coven. He had lived for centuries and was notoriously ruthless, yet he bestowed upon me, and only me, every honor imaginable. But one month before our Union Ceremony, he suddenly insisted on postponing it. The reason was his childhood friend, Camilla, was dying from a rare condition known as Bloodline Degeneration. To repay a life debt from long ago, he wanted to hold a mock wedding with her to fulfill her last wish to wear a wedding gown. I refused outright. It was a flagrant violation of coven dignity. But he pressured me relentlessly, using a supposed ancient code of honor as emotional blackmail. Then, two weeks before the ceremony, I received an anonymous email containing an advanced blood analysis report. Only then did I learn that he hadn't just been preparing a wedding; he had already secretly formed a Mutual Blood Bond with her, a pact that would bind their lives together for eternity. In that moment, I finally understood. My two centuries of devotion to him had been nothing more than a joke. And so, I called off our union and set fire to everything he had ever given me. On the day of the ceremony, I traveled to Europe's Supreme Institute for Vampiric Research in Italy and took charge of the Institute's most secret and critical project. From that day forward, I would have nothing more to do with the noble prince. We were finished.

On the night of the Benedetto family's Harvest Festival, my Mafia husband, Salvatore, told me to bring our son, Giuseppe, to the family gathering. He said his madre had finally accepted us into the Benedetto bloodline. I was trembling with excitement in our little cottage as I dressed Giuseppe in his finest little suit. He had carved a single wooden rose by hand, a project he'd saved for over five years. He said he would present it to his grandmother at the celebration, a plea for her to accept our place in the family. But the moment we stepped into the stone manor, I saw Carmela. Salvatore had her pinned against an oak barrel in a deep, searing kiss. In the moonlight, her hand was undoing his tie. In front of everyone, Salvatore smiled and gently pushed her away. He walked toward the family members gathered in a semicircle and raised a crystal glass. "Tonight, in addition to celebrating the harvest, I have an important announcement." "I would like to introduce you all to the woman I have married in the eyes of God and the Church." "Miss Carmela Torrino." Before I could even process his words, Giuseppe tore his hand from mine and rushed forward. "Papa, what are you saying?" "Isn't my mother your wife?"
