Introduction
Human.
A human in the packs of wolves.
I believed him.
I just never imagined he’d be the one to hand me over.
The night he betrayed me, I expected death.
I was taken to Alpha Tristan — the cursed Alpha who was like a monster.
I thought he’d take what he needed and leave me dead.
But when his eyes met mine, something changed in the air between us.
His curse surged.
His body reacted like it recognized me.
And he hesitated.
From the first moment he touched my skin, something inside him shifted…
There was a pull.
A pull I didn’t want.
A pull he didn’t trust.
And when he stepped back, shaken to his core, he whispered the words that ruined us both:
“You’re my mate.”
Everything after that fell apart fast —
his lover’s rage,
his pack’s betrayal,
the war that rose to swallow us whole.
Yet through all of it, he kept choosing me.
Even when it tore pieces out of him.
Even when the curse dragged him closer to the edge each night.
But darkness has long memories, and mine goes back to the night my parents died.
The blood.
The fire.
The shadowed figure I ran from.
The closer I got to Tristan, the more that memory twisted…
until I realized the truth could destroy both of us.
Because the man fate tied me to —
the man I shouldn’t want,
the man who held me like I was something worth saving —
was tangled in the very tragedy that ruined my life.
Loving him feels like standing inside a fire.
Letting go feels worse.
And fate…
fate has never cared about what either of us deserves.
Chapter 1
Celine's POV
The rain hammered the roof, swallowing every other sound.
“Colt?” I called, stepping into the room.
He sat at the edge of the bed, staring at the wall like it held his sins. He didn’t even hear the door creak open.
I entered the bathroom and came out wrapped in a towel, but Colt was yet to notice my presence.
I patted his shoulder. “Lost in thoughts?”
He flinched. “Oh…”
A chuckle escaped my lips as I wrapped my arms around him. The towel slid off, exposing my body.
“You came in,” he muttered, ignoring the attention my body should have drawn from him, “and I didn't even notice.” His brows creased. “Were you sneaking on me?”
I rolled my eyes. “Hell no.”
I pinned him against the bed, and got my lips to almost touch his ears.
“It’s cold outside,” I whispered, leaning close enough for my breath to brush his ear. “And I’m all yours.”
His chest rose under mine, warm and unyielding.
“I’m becoming more like a werewolf,” I said softly. “More like you.”
He tried to let out a chuckle, but it faltered in the same instance. I heard him sigh. Our eyes met and with the faint light that came through the window, I could see the expression on his face. It was empty, had no brightness I used to see, just… damp?
My eyes trailed down his body, and I noticed his fingers were shaky.
“No one else knows you’re human,” he whispered, voice shaking. “Only me.”
A chill ran down my spine—why did he sound afraid of that truth now?
“Well, yes, but what's this look?” I touched his cheeks.
But he kept mute, like something was too heavy for him to say.
“Is it about your sick mum?”
“Hmm… yeah, of course. Her ill health is the start of all this.”
“It got worse, didn't it?” My hand fell to his chest. “We could sell maybe everything in this house… and I believe we would get that close to getting that cure.”
He shook his head. “We wouldn't have gotten close… but now…”
“What about now?” My brows furrowed.
“Now is about you.”
He got to the window, staring outside and holding the rods behind the net. Somehow, it felt as though he was watching out for something, or perhaps a person.
“How is your mum's health about me?”
“My mum needed a cure,” he said, voice breaking. “And I couldn’t afford it.”
His hands trembled against the window frame. “So I made a deal.”
Cold shivers crept up my spine.
His lips moved, but all I caught was “sorry”
“What… what did you do?”
“Get dressed.”
“Now?” I frowned. “Are we going out? Under this torrent?”
He yanked the wardrobe open, pulled out a dress I’d never wear to sleep, and dropped it on the bed.
“Just get dressed.”
I did.
“It's almost time for them to come.”
“Colt?” My voice raised slightly. “What's all this about? Who's coming…”
A violent bang shook the sitting room door.
It was past midnight, and too late for visitors.
I rushed forward, clutching the gown.
Another bang split the silence.
“Colt!” A burly werewolf stormed in, eyes burning through the dark. “Where’s the human?”
My breath stopped. Human. The word hit like a blade.
His eyes were on me, scanning my skin as he waited for Colt to answer. Sweat formed on my skin. I didn't know any human except me.
I felt his gaze grabbing me like sharp claws.
“Colt… what is…” I swallowed the lump I felt down my throat. “Did you tell…”
My heart started to beat as though to escape my chest.
“Sorry,” Colt muttered lifelessly, avoiding eye contact with me.
The room shrank around me.
I was human. And no one was supposed to know except Colt.
“She's human,” Colt' voice was low.
The two other werewolves who stood outside in the pouring rain stormed in, and before I could move, they grabbed me—one by my arms, and the other by my legs.
“Colt! Colt!” I screamed, thrashing, kicking, clawing—anything to break free.
But he didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Just watched as they dragged me into the rain.
His face had gone pale, lifeless.
“Our Alpha gave him the elixir to cure his mum.” One of the werewolves snarled, grinning as his grip bit into my arm. “And of course, selling you out was the prize he had to pay.”
“Colt, look at me!” My scream was raw.
He stepped closer to the cart the werewolves forced me into. “Celine… I had no choice.” His voice cracked. “My mother… she would’ve died.”
Each word sliced deeper than the rain.
Tears steamed down my jaws. “You… you betrayed me.”
Memories clawed at me—five years collapsing into this single moment.
The night he saved me from rogues replayed in my head, but now his face was theirs.
Or maybe this was all a dream?
Candlelight stabbed through my eyelids. The sharp scent of herbs clawed at my throat.
“Ahh.” I jerked up with a heavy breath as though heavy hands pressed me against the bed.
“Celine?” A woman’s voice pierced through the haze.
I blinked against the candlelight until her face swam into view.
Her eyes were too calm. Studying me.
She smiled, and that was a smile with too many meanings.
It sank into me, who was she?
“I'm Lila,” she said as though reading my mind.
Her fingers came to my neck, touched the necklace I'd always worn.
I yanked her hand off. “Mine…”
She just nodded. “It says a lot about your identity.”
My brows furrowed. “My… my identity…”
“Yeah, but never mind.”
“Where am I?” I tried to get my legs off the bed, but the weakness that stretched throughout my body betrayed me.
My gaze reached the door of the room, and even though the space was big enough to contain at least two hundred wolves, it still felt like a tiny prison.
“Blightmoon pack,” Lila said. “Alpha Tristan kept me in charge of you.”
“I was sold out… by Colt…” Tears threatened to escape my eyes.
Lila nodded. “Sometimes we don't have a choice.”
She poured a black substance from a jug on the table beside the bed into a mug, and passed it to me, gesturing I drank it up. The vapour sent the strong smell of herbs through my nostrils.
“This might help when the time comes.”
“Time for what?”
She sighed, shaking her head. “Sometimes, fate gives us no choice.”
My breath hitched. “What fate are you talking about? What's all these about?”
The door creaked. A shadow crossed the light—tall, deliberate, dangerous. Lila rushed to kneel before him.
His scent of rust… it completely repelled against the scent of herbs lingering in my nostrils. I hated the smell of rust, but his seemed to have a subtle kind of flavor to it, like it wasn't the smell of rust after all.
“Is she the human?” His gaze lifted from Lila to be on me.
“Yes, yes she is.” Lila's words were rushed. “Celine.”
He walked to the bed till his knee touched the frame.
“Celine,” he called.
I froze.
His voice struck like a half-remembered song—one I’d buried years ago. It clawed at the edges of my memory, dragging up things I didn’t want to see.
It clawed at my parents death.
But how was that connected to him?
His fingers came to my neck, and I rolled to the other end of the bed. “Don't…”
Just the tip of his fingers touched me, but it sent cold shivers through me like he almost made all my lost memories come to life.
I didn’t know him. I was sure of it.
So why did every part of me remember?

On Christmas Eve, I aborted the CEO's child
On Christmas Eve night, my husband brought his mistress home and demanded that I, his pregnant wife, leave with nothing.
On this day, I lost my husband and also lost the child in my womb...
I Loved You in Silence, You Betrayed Me in French
At my birthday party, my husband whispered to his mistress in French that he missed her. His voice was low, but I heard it all—the black lingerie, the bit about how pregnancy makes you more sensitive. His French clients around us were laughing. He turned and put his arm around me, claiming he was just helping his clients come up with sweet nothings.
He doesn't know I understand every single word. Just like he doesn't know that inside my body, I'm carrying his other surprise. And his mistress—she's pregnant too. Two wombs, one secret.
Confrontation would be too cheap. Tears are worthless. I quietly started cataloging the hidden networks my father left behind, activating the Swiss accounts.
In seven days, Zoey Smith will cease to exist. And what will my husband's reaction be?
When I Disappeared, He Regretted It
The moment the screen lit up, my entire world came crashing down.
The woman on the bed was Calista - that girl who grew up with us since we were kids. And that hand caressing her skin was wearing the wedding ring I had personally put on Matteo's finger.
"I've missed you so much..."
"You drive me crazy, baby..."
Those sweet words I knew so well completely destroyed me.
Everyone said we were the perfect couple, but who knew this marriage was built on nothing but lies?
Since he's so good at acting, I guess it's time I gave him a show of my own. I'm going to make sure everyone sees what this "perfect husband" really is...
The Family Sacrifice
I simply said one word: "Okay."
My parents and Gilbert were stunned. They rushed to have me sign the voluntary donation form, afraid I’d change my mind.
Some days later, they sent me to the operating room.
Dad said, "Yvonne will finally be saved. We're so proud of you."
Mom said, "After the surgery, we'll make it up to you."
Gilbert looked tenderly at Yvonne and said, "When you're better, where should we travel?"
What they didn't know was that the day I agreed, I'd just received my diagnosis, stage four cancer. Three months to live.
As I lay on the cold operating table, as the anesthesia began to take effect, I only wanted to know one thing:
If I die on this operating table, will they regret it?
He Never Loved Me, Until I Left
I put away the divorce agreement with a wry smile.
When he and my son completely disappeared, he finally panicked.
Three months later .
He knelt down on the streets of Chicago in despair, begging me to remarry him.
My six-year-old son looked coldly at his biological father and said, "Get lost, you bad uncle! You don't deserve to be my dad!"
He Thought I'd Never Leave
When he said he was being bullied, I believed him. When he kissed me on that rooftop, I thought he felt the same. When he asked me to transfer schools with him, I said yes without hesitation.
Then I heard him bragging to his friends: "She'd save her first time for me. Hell, she'd still be thinking of me on her wedding night."
The bullying was staged. The kiss meant nothing. He just wanted me gone—so his new girl could feel more comfortable.
He thought I'd beg. He thought I'd cry. He thought I'd never actually leave.
I left the country.
And ran straight into his stepbrother.
I Died While They Threw Her a Party
Their real daughter came home. She'd only been back two years. That's all it took to erase twenty-four.
When kidnappers grabbed us, I used my body as a shield. They beat me until something inside me ruptured. I was dying from internal bleeding, but no one could tell.
My parents wouldn't even look at me. "This is your fault! None of this would've happened if it weren't for you!"
"Get downstairs and apologize to your sister. If you can't, pack your things and get out."
They threw her a party at a downtown hotel while I died alone in my room.
I thought they'd be relieved. Maybe even glad. I thought they'd just move on like I never existed.
But when they finally learned the truth, they fell apart.
Bury Me in His Regret
The kidnapper pressed the gun to my temple and asked, "Choose your wife or your sister-in-law?"
Zachary didn't hesitate. "Let Valerie go," he said.
He actually chose to save his sister-in-law! In that moment, even the baby in my belly seemed to stop kicking.
Later, they locked me in the basement. Drugs to delay labor were pumped into my veins over and over. Zachary wanted to save the "firstborn son" status for his sister-in-law's child.
When warm blood finally soaked through my skirt, I dialed the number I knew by heart with shaking hands.
"Zachary," I whispered into the phone, "our child... can't wait any longer."
The Kidney That Killed Me
A few months ago, my sister was hospitalized with kidney failure. The doctor said she needed a transplant. My family's first thought was me—the backup daughter they'd kept around all these years.
When my husband Allen took my hand with tears in his eyes and said, "Only you can save her," I agreed without hesitation.
When the doctor explained the surgical risks and potential complications, I smiled and nodded my understanding.
My parents said I'd finally learned what sisterly love meant.
Even Allen, who'd always been cold to me, held my hand gently and said, "The surgery's safe. You're so healthy, nothing will go wrong. When you recover, I'll take you to Hawaii."
But they don't know that no matter how the surgery goes, I won't be around to celebrate.
Because I just got my own test results—I have terminal brain cancer. I'm going to die anyway.
Falling for my boyfriend's Navy brother
"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

I'm falling for my boyfriend's brother.
**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.
But when my eyes fell on her lips, I wanted her to be mine.

The Human Among Wolves
My stomach twisted, but he wasn’t finished.
"You're just a pathetic little human," Zayn said, his words deliberate, each one hitting like a slap. "Spreading your legs for the first guy who bothers to notice you."
Heat rushed to my face, burning with humiliation. My chest ached — not from his words alone, but from the sick realization that I had trusted him. That I had let myself believe he was different.
I was so, so stupid.
