Introduction
Until that day, as I stood before her grave, her husband Oliver asked me,
"Mom, do you know who Robin is?"
"Stella came back from her prenatal checkup one day and said she bumped into Robin," he choked out. "She even said she wanted to take the baby to visit him."
My hand, reaching out to comfort him, froze in mid-air.
Because Robin was no good man—he had once tried to harm Stella.
That name was her lifelong nightmare. She wouldn't even dare look at a picture of a robin in a book.
And that name was a secret known only to me and my late husband.
So... who exactly is lying?
Chapter 1
Not long ago, my pregnant daughter was murdered, and the killer remained at large.
Until that day, as I stood before her grave, her husband Oliver asked me,
"Mom, do you know who Robin is?"
"Stella came back from her prenatal checkup one day and said she bumped into Robin," he choked out. "She even said she wanted to take the baby to visit him."
My hand, reaching out to comfort him, froze in mid-air.
Because Robin was no good man—he had once tried to harm Stella.
That name was her lifelong nightmare. She wouldn't even dare look at a picture of a robin in a book.
And that name was a secret known only to me and my late husband.
So... who exactly is lying?

"Mom, put this on. Don't catch a chill."
A cashmere coat was draped gently over my shoulders.
I stood before Stella's headstone, my fingers tightly gripping a bouquet of white irises.
Rain cascaded off my umbrella, striking the young, vibrant, yet forever frozen smile on the headstone.
My daughter. Twenty-eight years old, dead in the middle of the night just seven days ago.
I laid the irises at the base of the stone. Turning around, I saw Oliver's ashen face.
In a mere seven days, he seemed to have aged ten years.
Oliver, Seattle's youngest and most brilliant chief surgeon, and the man my Stella loved most in this world.
He had just lost his beloved wife and their unborn child.
"Thank you, Oliver."
Oliver knelt, his fingers gently tracing Stella's photo on the stone.
Tears mingled with the rain on his cheeks. His sobs were choked back, so suppressed that his shoulders trembled violently.
"I still can't believe she's gone..." Oliver choked out.
"We already bought the crib. We already picked out a name... How could she just leave me like this?"
Watching his grief-stricken silhouette, a sharp ache gripped my heart.
As a mother, I had lost my daughter; but as a husband, he had lost his entire world.
I reached out, wanting to pat his shoulder to offer some comfort.
Right at that moment, Oliver slowly stood up and turned to look at me.
"By the way, Mom. Do you know who Robin is?"
My hand, reaching for his shoulder, froze dead in mid-air.
Robin.
"Was Stella's nickname Robin?"
My mind began to race frantically.
"Are you sure she mentioned Robin?"
"When did she say she saw Robin?"
Oliver thought for a moment.
"The day she came back from her prenatal checkup. She seemed in high spirits. She said she bumped into Robin on the street. She told me Robin was an old neighbor from her childhood who used to take great care of her, and she wanted to pay a visit."
"I pressed her on who it was, but she just smiled and said she'd take me to meet them after the baby was born."
"I never thought..."
Oliver's voice dropped lower and lower, ultimately breaking into quiet sobs.
And I stood behind him, the blood in my veins running completely cold.
"I don't know who Robin is," I shook my head.
Oliver turned back, his eyes fixed lovingly on the headstone once more.
And I stood behind him, the blood in my veins running completely cold.
Something was wrong.
Something was terribly wrong!
When Stella was seven, a middle-aged man named Robin moved in next door.
The man seemed gentle on the surface, but one afternoon, he tried to drag Stella into his basement to molest her.
Though my husband arrived just in time to save her, the ordeal left Stella with severe psychological trauma.
From that day on, Stella couldn't bear to hear the word "Robin"—not the name, not even the bird.
Even a picture of a robin in a children's book would send her into violent shivers, screaming as she tore the pages to shreds.
The name "Robin" was her ultimate, lifelong nightmare.
Aside from Stella, only my husband and I knew about this.
It was an absolute taboo, a forbidden word we never allowed anyone to mention.
How could someone so deeply terrified of that name ever bring it up to Oliver on her own accord?

Reborn: My Biased Brothers Beg Me To Come Back

Arabella was forced to give Regina blood transfusions time and again, her weight plummeting to a mere eighty-eight pounds.
Ultimately, under the relentless pressure from her brothers, she jumped out of a window in despair and died. Her last words were,
"What about Regina's blood transfusions?"

After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.
