Two months after I died, it finally occurred to my parents that they'd forgotten to bring me back from their trip. My father scowled in frustration. "She was supposed to walk back herself. Does she really need to make such a big deal out of it?" My brother, ever smug, opened our chat and sent an emoji, along with a message. "You'd better die out there. That way, Scarlett and I will split Grandma's inheritance." He received no reply. With a frosty expression, my mother said, "Tell her if she shows up for her grandmother's birthday on time, I'll let the whole pushing-Scarlett-into-the-water thing go." They never believed I hadn't made it out of those woods. After digging six feet into the ground, they finally found my bones deep in the forest.
My fiancée and I had been together for ten years. In everyone's eyes, we were the perfect couple. After she saved my life, with tears in my eyes, I made her a promise: "In this lifetime, I'll do 100 things for you."
On the eve of our wedding, we decided to climb a snow-covered mountain. An unexpected avalanche struck, and we were stranded at a local farmhouse. Her first love, Ethan Carter, who was the expedition leader, was injured while trying to save her. In the confusion, he accidentally took an aphrodisiac instead of a painkiller.
My fiancée, Yvette Jenkins, who had always seemed traditional and reserved, did not hesitate to choose him over me. Everyone expected me to explode in rage. Instead, I calmly stepped aside.
Only three promises remained.
Once they were fulfilled, Yvette and I would owe each other nothing.
She thought I was a man who could never leave her. What she did not know was that I had abandoned wealth, power, and my identity as a mafia heir for her.
When the hundredth promise was finally fulfilled, I walked away.
And this time, I wasn't coming back as the man who loved her.
I was returning to take my place at the head of my mafia family.
I died on the day I was supposed to receive the Silvermoon Devotion Medal from the pack. My family, though—they were busy celebrating my little sister winning the "Pack's Best Neighbor" award at her birthday party. While she made her wish for the whole family to love her forever, I dialed my fated mate, Alpha Theodore, begging for help. He cut me off with an impatient snap— "Diana, this is the most important moment of Elara's life. Quit pulling those petty stunts for attention." It was the ninety-ninth time he'd chosen her over me. But there won't be a next time. Because I'm already dead.
Before August Cadwell could mark me, he abandoned me at the Pack Affairs Department to temporarily register a mate bond with his childhood sweetheart, claiming it was only for her pup's future. Everyone believed I would patiently wait for him as I had for seven years. Instead, I accepted my parents' arranged mate bond and quietly left for the Lymerian Pack. Three years later, I returned as the beloved mate of Ryder Weyland, the legendary lycan chairman. Yet August still believed I was the same desperate she-wolf willing to wait for scraps of his affection. Little did he know that everything I wore, everything I owned, and the family beside me all belonged to the life he could never imagine.
I’m a werewolf, eight months pregnant with my vampire mate's hybrid child. When labor begins, my vampire mate, Justin, locks me inside an ancient ice coffin so his childhood sweetheart, Isolde, can give birth first and claim the Progenitor's legendary blessing. As I fight unbearable pain, cruel illusions, and betrayal, both my baby and I are abandoned to die. Only after my life signs disappear does Justin realize the horrifying truth—that the coffin he built to protect another woman became the tomb of the mate who loved him unconditionally.

When I was discharged from the psychiatric hospital, my brother and sister-in-law personally came to bring me home.

To outsiders, we were the definition of a perfect family. But months later, after every property, every dollar, and every dream they owned had been transferred into my hands, I destroyed them one by one. During a nationwide livestream, I proudly confessed to every crime. Everyone believed I was an ungrateful monster. No one knew that if I hadn't betrayed them first...

I hadn't seen my mafia husband, Luca Moretti, and our daughter Dora in three whole months. Luca was always "too busy with business," while his mother kept my daughter away from me. When Luca finally called me to a family reunion, I thought I would finally get my family back. Instead, I watched my daughter cling to Maria, the maid, as if she were her real mother. Luca defended Maria, ignored my pain, and treated my heartbreak like an inconvenience. After years of sacrificing everything for my marriage, I finally stopped begging for their love. I decided to leave the Moretti family behind, take my daughter if I could, and build a life of my own. But walking away from a powerful mafia family isn't as easy as I imagined. Luca refuses to let me go, Maria's secrets begin to surface, and the truth behind my daughter's sudden hatred threatens to destroy everything they have built. This time, I won't wait for my husband to choose me. I'll choose myself.
“I need your help to fake a private jet crash,” I said quietly. “It’s the only way I can ever leave Luca Moretti.” People said he’d given up the Mafia throne for me. They called him the man who traded power for love—the heir who walked away from blood and gold just to marry a waitress from the slums. For years, he made the world believe in us. He built empires under my name. He sent me roses every Monday. He told the press I was his salvation. But love doesn’t always mean loyalty. While I was busy believing in forever, he was building a second home behind my back—one filled with laughter, toys, and twin sons who had his eyes. The night I disappeared, his empire burned. He tore apart cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive just to find me. But by the time he did—I was already gone. And the woman he’d once died for no longer loved him enough to stay alive.
For the 100th time, my Alpha mate, Ryker, used his command on me, threatening to reject our bond if I didn't sacrifice myself for my twin sister, Ivy. I didn't cry or protest. I simply signed the mate bond rejection papers. I surrendered the Alpha I had loved for ten years to my sister.
A few days later, Ivy caused a scene at the Pack Alliance Banquet, humiliating the Silvermoon Alpha's daughter. Once again, I stepped forward to take her place, enduring the pain of a disfiguring silver brand.
Later, when they demanded I test the safety of the Wolf Spirit Regeneration Ritual with my own body for my sister, I accepted with a smile.
My Beta parents, their eyes red-rimmed, told me I was finally being the older sister I was supposed to be.
Even Ryker, who had always been so distant toward me, stood before the cellar. He gently stroked my cheek for the first time in ages and said softly,
"Harper, don't be afraid. As soon as the trial is over, I'll take you to see the auroras at Moon Goddess Lake."
But he didn't know that, regardless of the trial's outcome, he would never see me again.
My wolf spirit was already fading.
Nothing could save me.
This time, when I closed my eyes, it would be forever.
