Social Beings

Things were going well for her until she found her boyfriend cheating on her. Feeling no remorse for what they did, they decided to auction her unconscious body. She got sold to Alpha Damon of the Ace Pack who believes she is his missing mate. Donnie knows nothing about the werewolf world and doesn't know she's also one of them. She tried to leave but wasn't allowed to. The real person comes around when she was getting comfortable with Alpha Damon, and she was thrown in jail. There she found out all the secrets related to her childhood. She is the real mate of Alpha Damon, but what happens when her evil lookalike won't let her be? What happens when she is framed up? Can she survive in a world she knows nothing about with beings she isn't familiar with? Will Alpha Damon accept her as his mate and see the truth? Can she restore the peace in her pack again?

Unaware of werewolves living among humans, Joanna has no idea that the intense and immediate attraction she feels toward the charming stranger at her fiancé's business meeting is actually a mate bond. Overpowered by the irresistible pull, she gives in to the overwhelming sensation and momentarily forgets about Clyde Mancini, heir to an influential Italian property empire. Feeling ashamed of her low self-esteem, she runs away from the stranger’s bed, only to discover weeks later that she is pregnant from the one-night stand. The Mancini family is thrilled about welcoming their new heir but chooses to overlook the baby's unusual behavior. The enraged Alpha initiates a search party to find his Luna, and when he ultimately finds Joanna, he abducts and forces her to become more involved with his pack and fulfill her duties. Joanna's primary concern is escaping from these unfamiliar beings so she can reunite with her husband, knowing that he is relentlessly searching for her. She anxiously tries to hide her son from the Alpha, the boy being his most powerful leverage to keep her with him. Eventually, the Moon Goddess intervenes, and Abel is convinced he has eliminated Clyde... so he thinks …

In our five years of marriage, my husband, Derrick Wickham, bails on me 99 times for his childhood sweetheart, Jessica Harson. This time, after he stands me up, I find two plane tickets to Frantines in his office. "I was planning to surprise you for our anniversary. Since you've already seen them, we'll just meet at the airport," he says icily. I eagerly pack and get myself ready, arriving early at the airport. I wait from the wee hours of dawn till the late hours of night, but Derrick fails to show up. Then, I see a post on Jessica's social media. "It's my birthday today. Though he doesn't have the time to go on a trip with me to Frantines, I forgive him because he brought me to the amusement park instead!" In the past, I'd have called him, crying and demanding answers. But this time, I'm truly done.

I transmigrated into the role of a gorgeous villainess, tasked with tormenting my childhood buddies. I forced Maddox, Mr. Tough Guy, into putting on a sexy dress, essentially killing his chances of a social life. I grabbed the bottom of the ever-aloof Zane and made him red in the face. I kicked Damian, the crybaby, into the ground, and all he could do was glare at me through his tearful eyes. My aggressive antics only fueled their resentment. “One of these days, I’ll get you.” I winked at them without a care. “I’ll be waiting.” The day they crossed paths with the female lead would be the day I left this world. Their revenge didn’t scare me one bit. Little did I know, the time would come when I would be proven wrong. While I scrambled to get away in tears, he said softly, “Save your strength. The night is still young.”

My sister abruptly returns to the country on the day of my wedding. My parents, brother, and fiancé abandon me to pick her up at the airport. She shares a photo of them on her social media, bragging about how she's so loved. Meanwhile, all the calls I make are rejected. My fiancé is the only one who answers, but all he tells me is not to kick up a fuss. We can always have our wedding some other day. They turn me into a laughingstock on the day I've looked forward to all my life. Everyone points at me and laughs in my face. I calmly deal with everything before writing a new number in my journal—99. This is their 99th time disappointing me; I won't wish for them to love me anymore. I fill in a request to study abroad and pack my luggage. They think I've learned to be obedient, but I'm actually about to leave forever.

After four years of marriage, James Lawson, who had never posted anything on social media, unexpectedly updated his status: "What an adorable little foodie!" The attached photo showed a young woman wearing pink cat ears, eating at a Korean BBQ restaurant. Her cheeks were flushed red from the spicy food as she stuck out her tongue. It was Sophie Jones, a new content creator at his company. Within a minute, our mutual friend commented: "Dude, you forgot to switch accounts!" Just like that, James's new post disappeared as quickly as it had appeared, only to show up moments later on Sophie's feed. Then James's name lit up my phone screen. In the past, I would have already taken screenshots and called him first to confront him. It would have inevitably ended in a heated argument. But this time, I calmly watched his call go to voicemail without answering.

I sat at the table, watching the food grow cold, much like my heart. Today was my birthday. It was also Leslie Buck's birthday—Katherine White's childhood sweetheart. I unlocked my phone and opened Leslie's social media page. As expected, a new post awaited me. "Grateful to have you by my side for every birthday. Let's keep our promise to celebrate every one of them together in the future!" The photo showed two hands forming a heart in front of a cake. One of them was Katherine's. I could tell from the bracelet she wore. It was the one I had given her. I gave the post a like, then set my phone aside. Without hesitation, I dumped the dishes Katherine liked into the trash and went out to a restaurant to order the food I liked, celebrating my birthday alone. From now on, I would make sure to enjoy every birthday of mine.
