I brought my son, who was around a year old, to visit my parents’ graves, only to run into my childhood friend’s mother. She asked me whether I had returned because I was no longer angry. “Yelena, you’re finally back! You must’ve returned to marry Niel. “I’ll make sure your wedding goes smoothly this time. I won’t allow any random person to ruin it!” Niel Stalner was my childhood friend and ex-fiance. During my engagement party, Cloud Stalner, his foster sister, had barged in while wearing the same gown as I did. She also said that she would kill herself if Niel refused to leave with her. The guests burst into a ruckus, and in the end, I was left alone in the venue. Everyone criticized me, and Niel’s family abandoned me. Eventually, I left the country like a dog with its tail tucked between its legs. I smiled at Neil’s mother, Iris, and pushed the baby stroller forward. “Iris, are you seriously telling me that Niel hasn’t married Cloud yet? Anyway, Michael, say hello.”

The court was going to announce its verdict. My fiancee, Yvonne Quinton, told me to stop pleading not guilty and just sign the confession papers. "I know you're innocent, but Christopher's frail. I can't let him go to prison." She held my hand and cried her heart out. "This is for your own good, Shawn." I signed the confession papers. In my previous life, I refused to take the fall for Christopher Welson. In the end, I was sent to prison anyway. The furious Yvonne sent her men to torture me until I became sterile. Now I had a second chance in life. She could have her wish. The next day, the whole world found out I'd leaked top business secrets, and Christopher was the eyewitness. "Yeah, it's him! I saw him sneaking into the Leidermann Group!" The court opened its session in the afternoon, but the plaintiff, Rachel Leidermann, dropped all charges. To everyone's shock, she took out a diamond ring and asked. "Will you marry me this time around, Shawn?"

Ella is her name. She's just an ordinary girl. Oh, wait, is she really as ordinary as we presumed about her? Allora, you can't guess it right. For she herself didn't know about her true identity. Living in a ramshackle hut with an old man with whom she had no blood relation. There's nothing extraordinary about her lifestyle or even her. She wakes up, prepares breakfast for both of them, and then the old man leaves of food hunting. They're living an extremely poor life which is a common status in her surroundings. And one day she had a mysterious dream, the one she had never thought of. Not even in her dreams! Her 18th birthday was coming right after two days and she's having his dream as a present. Well, a present worth it all. Forest, wolves, handcuffed maiden, and the demand. A two-word demand, asking for the keys. What keys those strange, voiced creatures were asking for? Whose keys? She didn't know but soon she will know.

A week before my bonding ceremony, my younger sister traveled from a distant pack to be my maid of honor. While she was trying on her dress, the phone she had left outside suddenly rang. “Florence, can you answer that for me? I can’t get it right now.” I picked it up, and a male werewolf’s voice came through the line. “Baby, I bought you a gorgeous lingerie set. Tonight is going to be amazing.” I didn’t make a sound. A cold chill sliced straight through me. That voice belonged to none other than my mate-to-be, Dylan Conner.

Right before graduation, my roommate waved around a job offer from some overseas company. It had a three-day workweek, with a starting salary of $50,000 a month. It sounded too good to be true, so I warned her it might be a scam. When she struck out on other job leads, I asked my dad to get her a position at his company. She scoffed at the eight-hour days and $6,000 monthly salary, calling it slave labor. Then she went live online, falsely accusing my dad of inappropriate advances and pressuring her to bear him a son. When skeptics questioned her, she swore no woman would lie about her honor. The internet erupted, branding my dad a predator. Our company collapsed under the backlash, leaving us drowning in debt. To spare me, my dad jumped from a rooftop to his death. Devastated, I wandered into traffic and was struck by a truck. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Amber got that shady offer.

Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme, j'ai passé un an en stage avec mon mentor, un guérisseur, dans les Terres neutres – sans tribus, sans lois et sans gardes du corp pour me protéger. Mon frère, le Président Lycan de tous les loups-garous, en a presque perdu la raison. Il avait peur que je tombe amoureuse d'un rôdeur et que je forme impulsivement un lien de compagnon imprudent. C'est pourquoi il m'a personnellement choisi un compagnon – Arthur St-Clair, l'Alpha de la tribu la plus puissante du Nordlac. C'est un homme beau et dangereux, une figure légendaire. Mon frère m'a ordonné de rentrer à la maison pour la cérémonie d'union, donc je n'ai eu d'autre choix que d'aller choisir une couronne de Luna. À la bijouterie, mon regard a été immédiatement attiré par une couronne en argent pur et couverte de diamants. Juste au moment où j'ai tendu la main pour la prendre, une voix féminine stridente a retenti. « J'aime bien celle qu'elle tient. Je la prends. Donnez-la-moi. » Avant que je puisse réagir, le vendeur a arraché la couronne de mes mains, me griffant presque ma peau. Je me suis redressée, me forçant à rester calme. « Vous connaissez l'expression « premier arrivé, premier servi » ? C'est moi qui l'ai vue en premier. C'est comme ça que vous faites ici ? » La louve s'est tournée lentement vers moi, me lançant un regard moqueur. « Cette couronne coûte 300 000 euros. Tu es sûre de pouvoir te l'offrir, paysanne ? J'ai grandi avec l'Alpha de la tribu Lune Argentée, Arthur St-Clair. Ici, c'est moi qui fais les règles. » Je la regardais, manquant de rire aux éclats. N'était-ce pas absurde ? Après tout, Arthur était mon fiancé. J'ai sorti mon téléphone et j'ai appelé Arthur. « Écoute, Arthur. Ta chère amie d'enfance vient de voler la couronne de Luna que je veux porter pour notre cérémonie. Que penses-tu que je devrais faire ? »
