My girlfriend told me she'd been bonded to a System. It let her see a Demand Index for how much everyone around her needed her. At first, her eyes had gone red with tears. "Your number's only thirty. Does that mean you don't love me?" "Not needing you doesn't mean I don't love you," I told her. After that, she started holding an umbrella for her male assistant on rainy days and driving out of her way to take him home. When I asked why, she brushed it off. "Don't overthink it. His number was just high, so I figured he needed the help." Then I came down with a fever and took to my bed, and she chose to go shopping with him instead. "Your number's low, but his side is more urgent. Let me finish helping him first, then I'll come look after you." She shut the door behind her. I closed my eyes for a moment, then picked up my phone. "Mom, I'm coming home alone this New Year."

Selena Walker once deeply loved her husband, Adrian Grant. But after their marriage, Adrian cheated on her repeatedly, always believing that no matter how far he went, Selena would never truly leave him. Three years ago, Selena’s father passed away. To fulfill his final wish and wait for the Walker Group family trust and several major projects to complete a three-year stabilization period, she temporarily remained in the marriage. During that time, she discovered she was pregnant. On the day she gave birth, Selena nearly died from complications, while Adrian was attending a weekend market with his mistress, Lillian Moore. From that moment on, Selena gave up on him completely. She raised their son, Eli, on her own, while Adrian remained unaware that he had already become a father—even when Eli turned two. The moment the three-year period ended, Selena immediately began preparing for divorce. At the same time, Lillian became pregnant, and Adrian proudly announced at his mother’s birthday banquet that this would be his “first child.” Everyone expected Selena to lose control, but only she knew that Adrian’s real first child had already been born two years earlier. Selena kept the truth to herself and instead handed him divorce papers in public, first securing arrangements for property division and moving out, while planning to proceed with the formal divorce and legal declaration of their minor child once the necessary safety arrangements were in place. After the divorce agreement was signed, Lillian unexpectedly discovered Eli. Through a private kinship screening from a clearly documented source, though not legally binding, she learned that Eli was very likely Adrian’s biological son. Afraid that Eli would threaten her own child’s sole advantage in the Grant family trust, Lillian used legally permitted outdoor fireworks to stage a fire that looked like an accident, intending to kill Eli. At the scene of the fire, Selena revealed to Adrian for the first time that she ha

Seven months pregnant, and I accidentally overheard a conversation between my Alpha mate Kane Frost and the pack Beta Ethan Roberts. "This one's going to Vivian too?" Ethan's voice was thick with fury. "You're really giving away Elena's pup to repay a life debt?" Kane was silent for a long moment. "Vivian saved me." "Seven years ago, that silver dagger was meant for my heart." "She took that blade for me. The residual silver poison destroyed her womb. She can never have a pup of her own." "Her only wish is to keep Elena's pup by her side." Ethan slammed his fist against the wall. "But she's already gotten two pups!" "This is the last one." Kane's voice was hoarse, but there was no hesitation. "Vivian promised me. After she gets this pup, she'll leave Silvermoon territory." "When this is over, I'll have another pup with Elena." "I'll spend the rest of my life loving her. Making it up to her. To the pups we'll have together." My stomach churned. I nearly threw up right there. Three years. I'd been pregnant twice before. And every time, after the surgery, Kane held me and told me the pup had stopped breathing before it could be born. I'd cried myself raw over those two little souls who never got to see the light. I'd clutched their tiny clothes every night, unable to let go. Only now did I understand. They never died. They were alive. Kane had stolen them from me, given them to someone else. Tears spilled down my cheeks, hot and endless. I gently touched my swollen belly. "This time, little one. Mommy's taking you away."

My brother Mitchell sided with his dream girl when she accused me of bullying her. Despite being the only family member I had left, he exploded in anger and sent me away to a boarding school for so-called reformation to learn how to become a meek and obedient little sister. In time, I became exactly what he wanted—a docile sibling who never fought back, never argued. But everything changed the day he saw my medical report. He lost his mind. "Nora, I'm begging you—forgive me and let me be your brother again!"
