When I went to reissue my mate certificate, the Werewolf Affairs Division told me, "Your mate certificate is a forgery. We have no record of your registration." I stared at the clerk, unable to believe what I was hearing. "But Sam and I registered five years ago. That's impossible. Could you please check again?" The clerk gave me a look before double-checking the files. "We found Alpha Sam's record. But the registered mate… isn't you." My voice trembled. "Then who is Sam's legal mate?" The clerk didn't hesitate. "Lily." I gripped the back of the chair, white-knuckled, just to keep myself upright. Until the clerk had spoken that name, I'd still held on to hope. Maybe it was a clerical error. A mix-up. But of all people, it had to be Lily, Sam's childhood friend. And suddenly, everything started to make sense. In five years of being Sam's mate, he had never marked me. We'd only held a mating ceremony—no certificate, no legal bond. I had given up everything for that ceremony, poured all my hope and love into it, believing I was his, only to find the certificate was fake. The five years I'd thought were mine—our happiness—had all been a lie, crafted and upheld by appearances. If none of it was truly mine, then there's only one thing left for me to do. Leave.

To stop the Moonshadow Pack and the Black Pack from slaughtering each other, I volunteered to form a mate bond with Kael. He was the heir of the Black Pack and the boy who had grown up beside me. I had loved him for ten years. I believed that once we completed our mating bond, the hatred between our packs would finally end. After the ceremony, he held me for three days and three nights, refusing to let me go. Years later, Kael personally led the Black Pack warriors into my territory and destroyed my home. My father, mother, and brother had all died in the war. Then Kael leaned close to my ear and asked coldly, “Eileen, did you really think becoming my mate would make me forget that the Moonshadow Pack murdered my parents?” That was when I finally understood. Kael believed my parents had ordered his parents’ deaths. What he did not know was that the woman who truly killed them and started the war later became his Luna. After the war, Kael became the Alpha of both packs. He made Selena his Luna and locked me inside an abandoned dungeon, forcing me to repay a blood debt that had never belonged to my family. Whenever I tried to end my life, he ordered his men to dig up one of my relatives’ graves. “You do not get to die without my permission.” So I stopped fighting. I stopped explaining. It no longer mattered. Ten years ago, I swallowed a nest of blood worms to save his life. Now they had reached my heart. I would be dead in three days.

My father and brother had preferred my sister over me since we were kids. In fact, they hated me. When I was bullied at a party, it was a mafia boss, Edwin Carlson, who stepped in. He saved me and announced right there in front of everyone that I was the woman he loved. He warned that anyone who dared mess with me again would have to deal with him. Edwin bought a castle deep in the forest just for me. He filled the garden with my favorite tulips and held a grand wedding there that made headlines across the country. For a while, I became the woman everyone envied. Seven months pregnant, I attended my father's birthday party. But that night, a sudden fire broke out. My biased father and brother only cared about saving my sister, Kelsey Grant. They rushed her out while I was left behind to die in the flames. In the end, it was Edwin who carried me out. But when I woke up in the hospital, I saw something that shattered my heart. "What the hell were you thinking, starting that fire?" Edwin's face was dark with rage. "Stephanie's only seven months pregnant! Are you trying to force her into early labor? Were you trying to kill her and the baby?" My father and brother spoke in hushed voices, trying to explain. "Kelsey has leukemia. The doctors said we can't wait anymore—she needs surgery soon. And she needs the baby's bone marrow..." "I care about Kelsey's life more than you do. Why else would I have married Stephanie? But you can't hurt her. I have my own plan!" Edwin warned coldly. "Saving Kelsey is the goal, yes—but if you try to save her at the cost of Stephanie's life, I won't allow it!" After hearing that, I fled the hospital room in a panic. So that was why he married me. Not because he loved me, but to save Kelsey. Everything he did for me—his kindness, his care—was all for her. Just like my father and brother, he loved Kelsey. Not me. If no one loved me, then I figured I might as well just disappear.
