Fünf Jahre Ehe. Fünf Jahre, in denen Élodie alles für Raphaël aufgab – selbst ihre kühnsten beruflichen Träume blieben auf der Strecke. Fünf Jahre, in denen sie auf einen Funken Zuneigung wartete. Doch Raphaël war nie da. Nicht an ihren Jahrestagen. Nicht, wenn er es versprochen hatte. Selbst an ihrem dreißigsten Geburtstag blieb sein Platz leer. Er sei „verhindert“, hieß es kühl. Doch ausgerechnet an diesem Tag stand Raphaël am Flughafen. Er wartete – allerdings auf die einzige Frau, die in seinem Leben jemals eine Rolle gespielt hatte. Für Élodie reichte es nur für ein liebloses Geschenk: eine Handtasche, hastig in irgendeiner Boutique besorgt. Als Élodies Vater schwer erkrankte, kannte Raphaël kein Erbarmen. Statt ihr beizustehen, zwang er sie, einen Klienten zu hofieren. Ein Geschäftsabschluss war ihm wichtiger als ihr Schmerz. In diesem Moment zerbrach etwas in Élodie. Endgültig. Sie zog den Schlussstrich. Die Scheidung. Zwei Jahre vergingen. Élodie hatte sich neu erfunden und war nun eine gefeierte Expertin auf dem internationalen Parkett. Doch dann tauchte Raphaël wieder auf. Er packte sie hart am Handgelenk. „Scheidung?“, hallte sein hämisches Lachen durch den Raum. „Schlag dir das aus dem Kopf.“ „Solange meine Unterschrift nicht darunter steht…“ „…bleibst du meine Frau. Bis dass der Tod uns scheidet.“

I've been married to my mate, William Parker, for three years. Yet, he has never claimed me. He always says that once his territory expands, he will hold a grand marking ceremony for me. I believed him and willingly waited for three years. But today, I witnessed with my own eyes William claiming my younger sister, Naomi Jenkins, at the altar. In fact, she has been missing for three years. At the marking ceremony, my three older brothers stand firmly by Naomi's side, supporting her. "Naomi was too young back then and was deceived by the Beta of the Northern pack into fleeing. Now she's been poisoned by silver nitrate and doesn't have long to live. Her only wish is to become your mate," they say. William nods and replies calmly, "For three years, I didn't hold a marking ceremony for Patricia. I was waiting for Naomi to return and explain things to me. "I will claim Naomi as my own to fulfill her final wish. But Patricia must never know. If she finds out, she'll leave me." My brothers, however, are certain. "It's fine. She loves you that much. Even if she knew, she wouldn't leave. Right now, nothing matters more than Naomi." I flee in despair, realizing that those three years of waiting were nothing but a cruel joke. The marking ceremony was always meant for Naomi. After she left, my brothers showered me with affection. I foolishly thought I was finally loved. But the truth hurts. Whenever Naomi returns, all their love goes back to her. The moment I learn the truth, my heart shatters, and I leave. Yet why, after I'm gone, do they all regret it?
