Após a formatura, eu passei um ano estagiando com meu mentor, um curandeiro, nas terras neutras sem alcateias, sem leis e sem ninguém para me proteger. Meu irmão, o Presidente Lycan de todos os lobisomens, quase enlouquece com isso. Ele está apavorado que eu me apaixone por algum lobo renegado e impulsivamente forme um vínculo de companheirismo imprudente. Sendo assim, ele seleciona a dedo um companheiro arranjado para mim. Falcon Sterling, o Alfa da alcateia mais forte em Northmere. Ele é bonito e perigoso, uma figura lendária. Meu irmão me ordena a voltar para casa para a cerimônia de acasalamento, então não tenho outra escolha senão ir escolher uma coroa de Luna. Na joalheria, meus olhos se fixam imediatamente em uma coroa coberta de diamantes. Assim que estendo a mão para pegá-la, uma voz feminina aguda interrompe: — Eu gosto da que ela está segurando, eu quero aquela, dê para mim. Antes que eu possa reagir, o balconista arranca a coroa das minhas mãos, quase arranhando a minha pele. Eu me endireito, tentando me manter calma: — Nunca ouviu falar em "quem chega primeiro é servido primeiro?" Eu vi primeiro. É assim que as coisas por aqui? A loba se vira lentamente para mim, me lançando um olhar longo e com ironia: — Essa coroa custa 300 mil dólares. Você tem certeza que consegue pagar, camponesa? Eu cresci com o Alfa da alcateia Lua Prateada, Falcon Sterling, Por aqui, eu é que faço as regras. Eu a encaro, quase rindo. Não é engraçado? Falcon calha de ser meu companheiro arranjado. Puxo meu celular e pressiono o botão de chamada: — Ei, Falcon. Sua adorável namoradinha de infância acabou de roubar a coroa de Luna que eu deveria usar na cerimônia de acasalamento. O que você acha que eu devo fazer a respeito disso?

I made a deal with Sonia Quindt—the billionaire CEO. After I'd proposed to her ninety-nine freaking times, she swore she'd finally show up for the hundredth. Spoiler: she didn't. She was out there at some concert with her boy toy. And, of course, someone caught them on livestream. Big kiss. Big viral moment. Meanwhile, my face was plastered all over the internet too—lonely guy number one, waiting for a bride who never existed. Everyone online started making bets. Who was the mystery woman? How long until I came crawling back for the hundred-and-first proposal? Sonia, apparently struck by some last-minute guilt, promised she'd make it right next time. Said she'd actually show up. And she did. Wedding dress. Perfect makeup. Cameras ready. She got a text from me: [Sonia, there won't be a hundred-and-first proposal. We're done.]

When my family went bankrupt, I was drugged and sent to the bed of my childhood sweetheart, Craig Kennedy. From that night, he brought women home every evening, tossing a divorce agreement in my face. "Beg me, and I won't leave you." He stood above me, watching as I humbled myself to dust, pleading to preserve our marriage. He even ordered me to kneel in his office and massage the feet of his secretary, Lucia Langston. On the day the Moore Group needed ten million to survive, she blocked all my desperate calls for help. I waited 24 hours, watching my family's legacy collapse and my parents take their lives. Craig, with Lucia at his side, entered the house and threw the signed divorce agreement at me again. "You wanted money to save your family, didn't you? Beg me, and as long as I don't divorce you, no one will touch them." But I signed it with calm despair. "Don't bother. We no longer need your help."

It all began with a single post about canceling a food delivery order. Overnight, I became the internet's punching bag. Thousands of vicious messages flooded my inbox, filled with photoshopped memorials urging me to die. They doxxed my family, plastered my personal details across shady websites, and used AI to create obscene images of me, spreading them in vile chat groups. They spread lies about my income, claiming it came from illicit sources, and accused me of carrying diseases. I didn't call the police or block the messages. Instead, I read every hateful word before singling out the 100 worst offenders. Every day, I sent each one a luxurious meal: Boston lobster, Australian wagyu, the works. Each delivery came with a simple note: [Thank you for your hard work.]

Stanley Hamilton and I were basically Southport's favorite hate-watch couple. For Elodie—my oh-so-perfect adopted sister—he wrecked my company and had my parents thrown in prison. I, in turn, drove Elodie to her death, making him watch as she jumped off a rooftop. Our forced marriage? Just a slow ride from mutual disgust straight into mutual destruction. Then came the car explosion. Stanley, who'd hated me forever, still used his last breath to shove me out of the blast. "Vivienne Weston, one lifetime tangled with you is enough. If there's a next one, let's never meet." He touched the tattoo of Elodie's name on his neck, smiling faintly as the flames took him. After he died, I wandered through life half-dead myself until illness finished the job. When I woke up in the past, staring at two betrothal contracts, I didn't hesitate—I picked the guy everyone swore was insane. Stanley and my dad? I handed them right back to Elodie. This time, I wanted no meetings, no memories, no strings. Ever again.
