1. Jeder weiß, dass Harrison der mächtigste Alpha in der Welt der Werwölfe ist. Es gibt viele Legenden über ihn. Eine der geheimnisvollsten ist, dass er seine Luna nie angekündigt hat. Sechs Jahre lang hat er nicht über seine Gefährtin gesprochen, und keine Frau konnte sich ihm nähern. 2. Sechs Jahre später kehrte Kayla in die Stadt zurück, in der sie lebte. Bei einer Begegnung drückte Harrison sie mit roten Augen und heiserer Stimme gegen die Wand und sagte: "Glaubst du, dass deine Tränen bei mir noch wirken?" Kayla sah zu Boden und sagte nichts. Plötzlich ertönte eine helle Kinderstimme. "Mami, was machst du denn hier?" Als er das kleine Mädchen ansah, verengten sich seine Pupillen. "Ist das Ihre Tochter?" Fragte er. 3. "Du hast dich also von dem Vater getrennt? Er hat Sie erwischt und Sie und Ihre Tochter sitzen lassen?" Harrison warf seine Zigarre in den Aschenbecher, seine Mundwinkel zuckten vor Wut. "Sagen Sie mir, wer der Vater ist, und ich werde ihn dafür bezahlen lassen." Kayla sah den Mann an, den sie seit sechs Jahren vermisst hatte. Sie wusste nicht, wie sie ihr sagen sollte, dass er der Vater war.

“what? She killed her own son?” Whispers like those filled the air, everywhere she walked. “Gosh, what a monster!” All sound suddenly stopped the moment she went into the church, getting on her knees, and closing both hands that shook out of fear, starvation and a bit of something else together. “father… please forgive me.” Her eyes closed, and she pressed her head onto the ground. The wonderful statue that stood Almighty above her shined always. “I beg for your forgiveness dear father.” She said again but this time in a Shaky voice, tears nearly now rolling out her eyes. The door opened and a tall handsome man walked in. That man was her husband, and he looked at her with disgust. “Dakota…” she turned while still being on her knees, her hand reaching for his legs, but then, he moved back. Avoiding her completely. “now you come here for forgiveness?” he nearly scoffed Her eyes widened. Her husband too? She chuckled, tears pricking the side of her eyes. Her beautiful blond hair had became messy, and her complexion turned pale, her finger nails looked like they needed serious manicure. “it… it wasn’t my fault… it wasn’t.” She sobbed, but instead of him comforting her, he only turned his back. She looked up and the door slammed hard, silence staying still with her. “Dakota?” in a weak pleading voice, she called, and after no response, clenched her fists. Why did she have to get punished for what wasn’t even her fault? She sobbed once again, this time, uncontrollably. Her eyes now swelling with tears, and her hands trying to brush them away. It kept on coming. “what have I done for everyone to point hatred to me? Huh?!…”veronica looked down at the knife they usually used for slicing the bread, it seemed they had forgotten it this time. she took the knife, hesitant at first, but after getting deeper into realization that no one was coming to stop her, pressed it against her neck. “everyone has turned their backs on me when I needed them… so,” a smile tainted her lips. “I atone for all, my sins.” Splash!

Anastasia Harrison, una joven maltratada por su cruel familia, pensaba que su vida había terminado cuando la obligaron a casarse con Richard, la oveja negra y despreciable de la adinerada familia Wallace. Mientras tanto, su preferida hermana menor, Michelle, estaba destinada a casarse con Xavier, el hermano mayor, que era un CEO. Sin embargo, un error en el ayuntamiento terminó intercambiando sus nombres en sus respectivos certificados de matrimonio. —¿Qué es esto? ¿Cómo estás casada con Xavier Wallace? —¡No recibirás comida ni agua hasta que firmes los papeles de divorcio! Para echar leña al fuego, los ancianos señor y señora Harrison fallecieron, dejando todos sus bienes a Anastasia y no al resto de la familia. Esto llevó a los Harrison a su punto de quiebre. Para negociar una vida tranquila, Anastasia estaba dispuesta a dejar su herencia y abandonar la familia, pero los Harrison tenían otros planes en mente. Querían deshacerse de ella. Permanentemente. Sin embargo, fue por un golpe de suerte que Anastasia fue encontrada por su nuevo esposo, Xavier, antes de que su familia tuviera éxito. Decidida a vengarse, hizo un trato con Xavier. —¡Continúa siendo mi esposa y te ayudaré a vengarte!

Anastasia Harrison, une jeune femme maltraitée par sa cruelle famille, pensait que sa vie était terminée lorsqu'ils l'ont forcée à épouser Richard, le mouton noir peu recommandable de la riche famille Wallace. Pendant ce temps, sa jeune sœur préférée, Michelle, allait épouser Xavier, l'aîné, qui était un PDG. Pourtant, une erreur à l'hôtel de ville a fini par inverser leurs noms sur leurs certificats de mariage respectifs. "C'est quoi ça ?! Comment se fait-il que tu sois mariée à Xavier Wallace ?" "Tu n'auras ni nourriture ni eau jusqu'à ce que tu signes les papiers du divorce !" Pour envenimer les choses, le vieux M. et Mme Harrison sont décédés, laissant tous leurs biens à Anastasia et non au reste de la famille. Cela a poussé les Harrisons à bout. Pour échanger contre une vie paisible, Anastasia était prête à abandonner son héritage et quitter la famille, mais les Harrisons avaient d'autres projets en tête. Ils voulaient se débarrasser d'elle. De manière permanente. Cependant, ce fut par un coup de chance qu'Anastasia fut trouvée par son nouveau mari, Xavier, avant que sa famille ne réussisse. Déterminée à prendre sa revanche, elle a conclu un pacte avec Xavier. "Continue d'être ma femme et je t'aiderai à prendre ta revanche !"

Anastasia Harrison, eine junge Frau, die von ihrer grausamen Familie missbraucht wurde, dachte, ihr Leben sei vorbei, als man sie zwang, Richard, das schwarze Schaf der wohlhabenden Familie Wallace, zu heiraten. In der Zwischenzeit sollte ihre bevorzugte jüngere Schwester Michelle Xavier, den älteren Bruder, heiraten, der ein CEO war. Durch einen Fehler im Rathaus wurden jedoch die Namen der beiden in ihren Heiratsurkunden vertauscht. "Was soll das?! Wie kannst du mit Xavier Wallace verheiratet sein?" "Du bekommst weder Essen noch Wasser, bis du die Scheidungspapiere unterschreibst!" Um noch mehr Öl ins Feuer zu gießen, verstarb das alte Ehepaar Harrison und hinterließ sein gesamtes Vermögen Anastasia und nicht dem Rest der Familie. Das brachte die Harrisons an den Rand ihrer Belastbarkeit. Um ein friedliches Leben zu führen, war Anastasia bereit, auf ihr Erbe zu verzichten und die Familie zu verlassen, aber die Harrisons hatten andere Pläne. Sie wollten sie loswerden. Und zwar für immer. Durch einen glücklichen Zufall wurde Anastasia jedoch von ihrem neuen Ehemann Xavier gefunden, bevor es ihrer Familie gelang. Entschlossen, sich zu rächen, schloss sie einen Deal mit Xavier. "Bleib meine Frau und ich werde dir helfen, dich zu rächen!"

Anastasia Harrison, a young woman abused by her cruel family, thought her life was over when they forced her to marry Richard, the sleazy black sheep of the wealthy Wallace family. Meanwhile, her favored younger sister, Michelle, was set to marry Xavier, the elder brother, who was a CEO. Yet, an error at city hall ended up swapping their names on their respective marriage certificates. "What is this?! How are you married to Xavier Wallace?" "You're not getting any food or water until you sign the divorce papers!" To add fuel to the fire, the old Mr. and Mrs. Harrison passed away, leaving all their assets to Anastasia and not the rest of the family. This drove the Harrisons to their breaking point. To trade for a peaceful life, Anastasia was willing to leave her inheritance and leave the family, but the Harrisons had other plans in mind. They wanted to get rid of her. Permanently. However, it was by a stroke of luck that Anastasia was found by her new husband, Xavier, before her family succeeded. Determined to get her revenge, she struck a deal with Xavier. "Continue to be my wife and I will help you get your revenge!"

In the time before the world knew evil, the Celestial Realm stood in perfect harmony. The angels, radiant beings of light and purity, upheld the will of the Creator. Among them, one angel stood above all others in might and grace Luciel and Anna, the High Angels of Judgment. His sword Luxis forged in the light of the First Star, was a weapon of unparalleled power. It was said that its blade could cut through any darkness, purging the evil that dared to taint the universe. Luciel was revered by his brothers and sisters, his sword the embodiment of righteousness. However, the seeds of pride had begun to sprout within Luciel's heart. He questioned the Creator's will, doubting the balance between light and free will in creation. He believed that the only way to maintain order was through absolute control, and he alone was strong enough to wield such authority. In secret, Luciel began to pour his own will into Luxis bending it to serve his newfound vision of order. The more he fed his pride into the blade, the more it resonated with his growing darkness. The once-pure light of the sword dimmed, its silver gleam tarnishing as the celestial energies were twisted. As Luciel's transformation into Satan the Adversary drew closer, the sword Luxis became a vessel of his rebellion. During the Great Fall, when Luciel and his followers were cast out of Heaven including Anna, Luxis fell with them. It plummeted through the heavens, crashing into the earth below. Now corrupted, its once holy edge darkened and its name forgotten, the sword became known as (Devil's Edge). It lay buried for eons, hidden beneath the earth, a relic of a forgotten war between light and darkness.
