At seven months pregnant, I overhear my Alpha mate, Christopher Scott, secretly planning to break tradition by promoting his secretary to a Beta and handing the Luna's duties over to her. His friend urges him to reconsider. "Luna is about to give birth. Isn't it inappropriate to throw a promotion banquet for Scarlett right now?" But Christopher dismisses his concerns. "What can I do? Scarlett is carrying my pup too. I can't just ignore her. "Besides, with Rebecca's temper, she'd definitely throw a huge fit if she found out beforehand. I might as well wait until she has delivered the pup and is too exhausted to interfere, and only then will I hold Scarlett's promotion ceremony. I say nothing.

I've been in a five-year relationship with my mate, Alpha Callum Nash. However, he has delayed the Luna Coronation Ceremony 52 times so far. The first time it was held, Seraphina Vance, an outsider Omega whom Callum had taken in, lost control of herself and shifted into a wolf on the training grounds. He quickly returned to the grounds to soothe Seraphina, but in doing so, he abandoned me in the sacred grounds for the entire day. The second time it was held, Callum had sensed that an elder was making Seraphina's life difficult halfway through the ceremony. He immediately interrupted the vowing ritual and headed back to the pack just to defend Seraphina. As I stood on the altar on my own, I could hear the rest of the pack making fun of me. Since then, whenever the Luna Coronation Ceremony is held, Seraphina will keep coming up with different problems that require Callum's immediate attention. In the end, I've completely given up on Callum, so I decide to sever our mate bond. On the day I leave the pack territory, Callum, who's no longer able to pick up my scent, goes crazy.

At an interview, my husband, Julian White, reveals that he has already allocated his assets properly. The host in charge of interviewing him makes a joking remark that he must have left large amounts of money to his son and wife. With a gentle smile on his face, Julian denies it softly. "I only left them enough money to sustain their lives. The rest of the assets are reserved for my adoptive daughter, Rosy, only. "This is a promise between me and her mom. I had promised her that I'd make sure her daughter would lead a lavish and worry-free life at her grave." When I hear Julian's statement, I pause in my actions of preparing a meal for the children. Then, I look up at the television in disbelief. Meanwhile, Julian is prattling on and on about his deceased first love, Vivian Bennett. Some time later, the host speaks up again. "Does your wife know about this?" Julian is left feeling taken aback for a moment. But his smile doesn't change at all. "She won't disagree with my decision. Over the years, she's been nothing but great to Rosy. Heck, she's even better than most caretakers out there." I take off my apron and walk out of the kitchen. Then, I scoop up my son, Jude White, who's in the middle of picking up toys for Rosy, into my arms and return to my room. It's been six long years, and I've finally had enough with this family. Since Julian doesn't intend to give me and Jude anything, then he can find himself another "caretaker".

À cause de ma négligence, Sophia, la chérie de Leo, s'était étouffée avec une gorgée d'eau de mer. Il est devenu fou de rage et m'a enfermée dans le sombre cachot d'eau. « Catherine, tout ce que Sophia a enduré, tu le paieras au double ! » Mon instinct de survie m'a poussée à me transformer en louve. Je me suis cognée la tête contre la cage de fer encore et encore, implorant sa pitié. Mais Leo m'a enchaîné les membres avec des chaînes de fer et a ordonné à ses subordonnés de continuer à inonder la chambre. « Une misérable jalouse comme toi n'apprendra l'obéissance qu'à travers la souffrance. » « Reste là et souffre pour tes fautes. » Il a scellé lui-même la porte de fer du cachot d'eau et a interdit à tout le monde de s'en approcher. À maintes reprises, je tendais le cou pour avaler l'air rare, hurlant de désespoir. Mais l'eau glacée qui montait me submergeait peu à peu. Je continuai à me débattre jusqu'à ce que je n'aie plus aucune force. Une semaine plus tard, dans sa grande miséricorde, il a décidé de mettre fin à mon châtiment. Ce qu'il ignorait, c'est que les serpents d'eau avaient déjà rongé mon corps jusqu'à le rendre méconnaissable.

Je suis revenue à la vie, et j'ai décidé d'écrire le nom de ma sœur sur la demande de mariage. Cette fois, j'ai laissé Laurent Hénault à ma petite sœur. Dans cette vie, j'ai été la première à faire porter la robe de mariée à ma sœur, à lui faire enfiler la bague de fiançailles. J'ai moi-même provoqué chacune de leurs rencontres. Il a emmené ma sœur à Paris, et je suis aussitôt partie dans le sud pour étudier à l'université de Nice. Tout cela, simplement parce que, dans ma vie précédente, j'avais déjà dépassé la cinquantaine, et pourtant, j'ai tout de même accepté de les voir — lui et notre fils — me supplier à genoux de divorcer, simplement pour accomplir sa dernière histoire d'amour avec ma sœur. Ayant revécu une vie, je n'ai souhaité qu'une chose : déployer mes ailes et m'éloigner de tout attachement sentimental.

Elias a tenu le fichier avec les résultats de l'ADN. « Lyra est notre sœur et la fille légitime du Crescent Moon Pack. » Il a annoncé, et la salle a éclaté avec des halètements. Sabrina s'est figée. « W-quoi ? » Elle était tellement stupéfaite qu'elle a trébuché en arrière. Je m'attendais à ce qu'Eli l'attrape, mais il l'a quittée et s'est agenouillé devant moi. « Lyra, j'ai fait une erreur... » supplia-t-il, « S'il te plaît... ramène-moi... » Je l'ai regardé, trouvant ça amusant. Oh, comme les tables ont tourné. « Hmmm », j'ai incliné la tête, un sourire lent et suffisant courbant mes lèvres. « Tu deves d'abord demander à mes frères. »
