Violet Evergarden Leon

When Selovia's soldiers seized me, I sent Leon ninety-nine letters, each one begging for rescue. He tore them apart. "I sent Aya back to her duchy after she struck Mira—but I gave her my finest escort. Selovia could not have touched her." A sharp breath. "I allowed Mira the ceremonial gown, nothing more. And now Aya makes a spectacle to win back my favor. It shames her." He paced once, restless. "Mira's brother died protecting me. He was my Captain of the Royal Guard. I swore to guard her in his place. Tell Aya this—no matter how she rages, I will not cast Mira aside. If she keeps making a spectacle, I will delay the wedding." Three days later, he rode into Valecrest with the marriage contract in hand, ready to wed me. That same hour, Selovia's envoys delivered an ornate gift box. Leon glanced at it and exhaled. "So the dowry is prepared. All this noise was Aya stirring unrest." The lid opened. Inside— My head. From the tower, mourning bells began to toll. Slow. Heavy. Final. The chapel doors parted. The officiant stepped out, robes dark, face set in solemn lines. "Her Grace, Aya Valecrest, Duchess of Valecrest, has been returned to us. The burial rites begin at once."

For seven years of marriage, my Alpha mate, Cassian Blackthorn, slept with thirty-two different women, every single one of them from my circle. I didn’t know how much longer I could endure it. Even when I was seven months pregnant, as I went to my prenatal check-ups alone, I kept enduring. Alas, disaster struck without warning. Cassian’s new fling, Sophia Corwin, led a pack of rogue wolves to ambush me. I clutched my belly with all my strength, begging Sophia to spare me and my child. She only sneered. "Ha. That wasn’t me. If you’re looking for the real culprit, go find them yourself." By the time a passerby found me and rushed me to the hospital, it was already too late. My baby… had died inside me. When my mother heard the news, her heart failed. She was gone, too. These two crushing blows left my world spinning. Hatred, grief, and fury rose inside me like a tidal wave, drowning everything else. Cassian’s father, Leon Blackthorn, came to the hospital to see me. Expressionless, I stared at him. "Let me go, Leon," I said in a raw and hoarse voice. "Whatever I owed you, I’ve paid it back in full."

"Miss Hudson, we have prepared a corpse identical to you, just as you requested. It will be delivered to your wedding with Mr. Warhol in ten days." Hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Violet Hudson felt a small knot of tension unwind inside her. "Alright. Thank you." "You're welcome. This is our job. Please rest assured—no one will ever suspect a thing." With that guarantee, she exhaled, the weight on her chest easing just a little. After confirming the final details once more, she ended the call and pushed open the door to the private room. The noise inside had been a constant hum, a mix of voices overlapping, but the moment she stepped in, silence fell like a curtain.

En mi vida pasada, Leon, el Alfa que se suponía que completaría conmigo la ceremonia de marcado, cambió de repente a su compañera elegida por mi hermana menor, Rose, justo el día del ritual. Al verlos a los dos comportarse con tanta intimidad, una oleada de humillación me barrió por dentro. Sin embargo, justo cuando estaba a punto de dar un paso al frente y exigir una explicación, la manada fue atacada por sorpresa. Los tres morimos en el motín. Cuando volví a abrir los ojos, había regresado al día de la ceremonia de marcado. Esta vez, decidí cumplirles el deseo. Después de liderar a los miembros para sofocar el motín que habría ocurrido en mi vida pasada, dejé la manada y me adentré en la sociedad humana. Creí que en esta vida jamás volvería a cruzarme con ellos. No obstante, tres años después, el día de un banquete de cumpleaños, me reencontré inesperadamente con Rose y Leon. Rose se acurrucaba con timidez en los brazos de Leon, y me saludó con una expresión de sorpresa fingida. —¡Claire! ¿Qué haces en un banquete tan grandioso como este? ¿No te habías ido a vivir a la sociedad humana? Cuando guardé silencio, Rose se burló de mí con una risita. —¿No me digas que no pudiste sobrevivir en la sociedad humana y ahora quieres volver a la manada? Leon me miró de reojo, con un asco que ni siquiera intentó ocultar. —Jamás aceptaría dejar que regreses a la manada, ni aunque te arrodillaras a suplicármelo. Pero, pénsandolo bien, como mi esclava todavía calificas. Podríamos volver a como era antes. Sonreí, apenas. Yo estaba allí porque mi compañero era el nuevo Ultima de la Alianza de las manadas de lobos. Y ese exquisito banquete de cumpleaños había sido preparado especialmente para mí.

"I want you to marry me." My eyes immediately widened as soon as I heard that from him. "After three months, we'll file a divorce and pretend nothing happened. Deal?" "Deal." I am MoonLeigh Fuentes, a simple poor girl who never cared about anything but to be successful in life and give my family a good life. My life has changed since the day that I met this cold-hearted CEO named Leon Dompteur. He is none other than my boss, and I married him for the money.
