These Silent Woods

Aku dan teman masa kecil suamiku hamil di waktu yang sama. Demi menjaga nama baik Sheila... Mereka bilang anak dalam kandungannya adalah darah daging suamiku. Sedangkan anakku... Dituduh sebagai anak haram akibat aku bersenang-senang di luar. Saat aku hancur dan menuntutnya, dia hanya berkata pelan, "Sheila dari kecil hidup di bawah aturan keluarga yang ketat." "Dia nggak kuat kalau jadi bahan gosip." Hari itu, aku menatap pria yang sudah kucintai selama tujuh tahun. Aku memutuskan untuk tidak mencintainya lagi.

Soon after I came back to the country, someone slapped me right across the face in broad daylight, yelling that I was a mistress. A crowd of reporters closed in, pelting me with questions about whether Chandler Armstrong, CEO of Armstrong Industries, was keeping me as his mistress. I was stunned speechless for a moment, but then I pulled out my wedding photo with Chandler from seven years ago and held it up. "What are you talking about? I'm his wife!" The crowd went silent, and the woman who'd slapped me turned white as a sheet. Only then did I finally get it: while I'd been overseas, Chandler had been openly involved with an actress, and everyone in his social circle had already decided she was the future Mrs. Armstrong. Today, they all came expecting to confront a mistress—only to find out that I was actually his wife. Later, Chandler tried to justify it. "Alina, you've been out of the country for years. I'm a man, and I have needs. She's just a B-list actress; it's not like she threatens your position. Why should you be upset? Just let it go," he said. "Don't make a scene." I handed him the divorce papers. "You make me sick."

A random transmigrator, Rosanna Lacewin, finally gets fed up after living as me, Roxanne Lovelace, for five years. She then ups and leaves this world with her system, leaving behind my extremely spoiled son, Theo Sterling, and my unusually cold husband, Austin Sterling. Before I can even process my thoughts, I suddenly see a barrage of comments flashing before my eyes. "What kind of a disastrous start to a story is this? This is the first time I've ever seen such a stupid transmigrator! She arrived five years earlier, made a huge mess, and now, the original owner has to clean up the mess she left behind!" "That's right. All she had to do was just correct Theo's ways, warm up to Austin, and stop her family from bothering the actual main characters of the story. But she did none of that and only spent all her time enjoying herself and avoiding death!" "Theo's all spoiled now, and Austin is very distant from her. I'm feeling so annoyed just by looking at this family. I wish they'd just die." So, as it turns out, I'm just the cannon fodder in this story plot who dies young, and both my husband and my son will be the main antagonists later on.

My best friend, James Swift, went back to the day he was supposed to reconcile with his extremely wealthy birth parents. He was unwilling to be a puppet controlled by the rich, so he was unwilling to return to his birth parents. Hence, he asked me to be his replacement without any hesitation. I looked at his mother, who was wearing a lot of diamond rings, and his father, who was dressed in old-money clothes. I immediately replaced James’s position. It was as if any hesitation would be a huge disrespect to this unexpected wealth. Five years later, James showed up with a DNA report and asked me to leave the Swift family. However, he was too late. After five years, I was no longer just a replacement for him. I was already the right-hand man of Swift Corporation. No one would threaten my status in this family.

Evelyn war seit zwei Jahren die Luna des Rotstein-Rudels. Eine arrangierte Machtehe, um das Rudel ihres Vaters zu schützen. Sie hatte keinen Moment damit gerechnet, Gefühle für den kalten Alpha-König zu entwickeln. Aber in den zwei Jahren an seiner Seite sah sie eine Wärme in Reuben, die er verbarg. Nach einer leidenschaftlichen Nacht, die Reuben ihr gegenüber klar als Fehler bezeichnete, erfuhr Evelyn, dass sie schwanger war – mit der lang ersehnten Zukunft des herrschenden Rudels. Doch Evelyns Freude über die Nachricht währte nur kurz, als die große Liebe seines Lebens zurückkehrte, die selbst das Attentat auf ihr Rudel nur knapp überlebt hatte.

Sie musste eine Entscheidung treffen, um die Zukunft des Rudels vor Vicky und dem Vater ihres eigenen Babys zu schützen. Aber würde der kalte, gnadenlose Alpha-König sie so einfach gehen lassen?

Hatte Evelyn Reuben endlich so erkannt, wie er wirklich war – einen Menschen jenseits aller Rettung?

Ich war gefangen, gefangen in einer Gefährtenbindung, die ich hasste. Würde ich jemals ihrem Griff entkommen? „Ich, Than Sable, Alpha des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels, weise dich, Kaia Glace, als meine Luna zurück.“ Ich erinnerte mich an seine grausamen, schneidenden Worte, als wären es erst gestern gewesen. Unsere Gefährtenbindung existierte nicht. Das war eine Lüge. Sie existierte sehr wohl, aber Than erlaubte sich nicht, mir nahezukommen, geschweige denn, mit mir allein in einem Raum zu sein. Es war, als wäre ich ihm ein Ekel. Er machte mich zu nichts – zum Schatten einer Gefährtin, und ich hasste ihn dafür. Ich konnte nicht so weiterleben. Warten… Ich war Kaia Glace, die rechtmäßige Luna des Bernsteinwüste-Rudels. Doch mein Gefährte, Alpha Than, weigerte sich, mich an seiner Seite herrschen zu lassen. Ich fühlte mich von der Gefährtenbindung betrogen, von meinem eigenen Gefährten unerwünscht. Jahre hatte ich damit verbracht, seine Liebe zu gewinnen – gesehen zu werden… Aber wie konnte ich das, wenn er eine andere hatte… Ich konnte nicht bleiben. Es war nicht mehr sicher für mich oder mein ungeborenes Kind. Ein Kind, das durch Gewalt gezeugt wurde. Ich musste gehen… weglaufen und meinen Vater finden. Er war mein einziger Rettungsanker. Allerdings wurde er zuletzt beim Feindesrudel gesehen, dem Dunkelphantom-Rudel. Ein berüchtigtes Rudel mit einem kalten, berechnenden Alpha, der nichts von Außenseitern hielt. Es hieß, die, die das Rudel betraten, wurden nie wieder gesehen. Doch ich hatte keine Wahl… Ich musste ins Feindesrudel, um mich meiner Gefährtenbindung zu entledigen. Doch dort begegnete ich einem anderen – einem anderen, der mich demselben trügerischen Spiel der Gefährtenbindung auslieferte.
