Introduction
Chapter 1
The water sprinkler we had in our backyard was the true meaning of what freedom felt like: soggy and messed up. We were never free in the Moonlight pack, Alpha Raden never allowed us to even move a step from our territory to go shopping so it was always boring here. He was cruel and treated us like slaves more than people. We couldn't even turn rogues because he controlled every aspect of our lives and has a strong bond with other packs like Wildcrest, Silver and Moongold, the most powerful three packs in werewolf history.
I stared in boredom as the little black sprinklers spurted water around our backyard within the glass windows, I felt trapped and I had only my little sister and my mother, we were just another normal family in Moonlight pack. My dad was a former beta but he died during the toughest werewolf vs. Vampires war, he truly died as a warrior when I was only seven years old. Mom was in pain but like the strong woman she was, she looked out for me and my little sister.
"Honey, come and help me." My mom shouted impatiently and I quickly complied with the obedient daughter I was.
She was making our favorite chocolate cupcakes that I and my little sister loved like it was a guilty pleasure for us.
I helped her out in icing the cupcakes and cutting vegetables for dinner. It was a very dark evening since winter was coming and the days were faster.
"Mom, I'm so bored," I whined, I never went out of the tiny house we had, I begged to be released. Her warm brown eyes gazed at me with understanding, she was bored too but there was nothing to do about it.
We only had the close by school and we were restricted from hanging outside of the building unless it was an important pack arrival where teenagers stared in adoration at the murderers like they were superstars. I had a strong opinion on other werewolf packs and I was the daring one out of all the scared pack members here. We never even had universities because Alpha Raden thought that we didn't need to be further educated.
"Darling, tomorrow is your birthday, that's something to be excited about, it's your first shift." She gushed with watery eyes and I hugged her; I never felt excited because I was scared of the first shift, many of my schoolmates told me that their bones break painfully and their hands twist to form the claws. It was so scary to me.
I was happy about one thing; I got to celebrate it with my family. It was one blessing and I hoped to not find my mate in the early shift.
My little sister, Evanna, giggled at us hugging with her cute grey eyes and tooth gap, she was only eight years old, she wore the usual yellow dress that she adored. I was once like her until I grew up seeing wars and darkness. I hoped that never happens to my sister.
I carried her as she squealed and twirled with her in my arms, our eyes cheerful with happiness until it was too soon to tell.
I could feel the start of something bad happening. My eyes turned to the glass window and Evanna hid behind me when I let her down as mom stared at the same vision. It was silent when it began.
The rancid smell of smoke started to get into our house and the blaze of fire slowly cracked our glass doors. Mom stayed beside me, trying to mind-link our Alpha for help because we couldn't escape through the doors for there was a circular firestorm around the house. I could see it from all the double doors on each side of our house. A part of me was grateful that all of our doors were transparent so we could quickly scan the severity of the impact.
Who would do that to us? we were a peaceful family, we didn't have enemies.
The fire was everywhere, terrorist werewolves came inside and killed my mother by three werwolves that ripped her body apart when I tried to drag them from behind but to no avail, I clutched my sister hard to save her, I couldn't turn into a wolf to fight them so they harshly bit my hand and their plan succeeded in getting my sister, the blood that left my terrified sister's arm drifted off to her wrist like rivers.
I tried holding her again but the wolves took satisfaction in watching my sister die slowly when they held me with their claws.
My little sister died as her eyes changed from scared to lifeless. I shouted in pain at the loss of my sister when they let me go, I charged towards the wolves but they pushed me off again with their head making me dizzy.
They didn't kill me as the burning fire increased more and they ran away. I screamed as the eyes took in the malicious orange flames and black smoke, I sat down, wanting to burn with my family too. I wanted to be with them up joined by dad. I smiled and let the flames near me to touch me.
But someone had to save me, Alpha Raden, he came inside and lifted me when I fought with him to stay here, he didn't reply to my wish and rescued me when I didn't want to be rescued.
"Why?" I shouted at him and his blue eyes were confused at the first thing I said, any chances of a thank you flew out the window.
Alpha Raden was a powerful Alpha but he was too much of a strict father to everyone. He has muscles for life and a tall height that towered over me. He has a stubble and pointy nose, he was twenty-six years old and no mate yet.
"You can't die, you have to shift tomorrow." He growled and I smacked his chest only to be bitten on my wrist by him challenging me to disobey.
"Stand down." I laid my head down submissively with tears gushing down my eyes.
Alpha took me into a new apartment inside his mansion until he knew what he wants to do with me tomorrow but I didn't care. I was grieving and I wanted to take my life to join them because I have no reason to live anymore.
"Alpha will visit tomorrow, so be on your best behaviour." He commanded and I nodded, afraid to speak.
"What's his name?" I asked I might know him.
"Just Alpha with no name." I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion, never heard of an Alpha who didn't tell his name to any of his pack.
He stormed out as I cried my heart out at my little sister's giggles in my ear and my mother's smile when she baked with me. I would find who did this and kill it. Whoever it was, I was more than determined to find out, they needed to die a vicious death.
I burst more tears remembering just how mother wanted to see her daughter shift, she didn't have her wish but I knew that she was watching it from up the heavens. I tied my blonde wavy hair and wiped my red greyish eyes. I was going to avenge them, one way or another.
I was still curious as to who is Alpha unknown. Maybe he could help me with my revenge.

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...
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.

Heartbroken, I tricked him into signing divorce papers.
George remained unconcerned, convinced I would never leave him.
His deceptions continued until the day the divorce was finalized. I threw the papers in his face: "George Capulet, from this moment on, get out of my life!"
Only then did panic flood his eyes as he begged me to stay.
When his calls bombarded my phone later that night, it wasn't me who answered, but my new boyfriend Julian.
"Don't you know," Julian chuckled into the receiver, "that a proper ex-boyfriend should be as quiet as the dead?"
George seethed through gritted teeth: "Put her on the phone!"
"I'm afraid that's impossible."
Julian dropped a gentle kiss on my sleeping form nestled against him. "She's exhausted. She just fell asleep."
