After My Sister Faked Her Death, I Found Her Taking Care of the Other Woman

Introduction
For five years, I knelt at her grave and wept. My husband Jack gently wiped away my tears and told me everything would be alright.
Until the day I ran into a woman at the mall.
The way she held her coffee cup. Her favorite phrase. The slight lift of her ring finger — every detail was identical to my dead sister.
I followed her to a villa on the outskirts of town.
The door opened.
The woman who greeted her was the rival who had fallen to her death from a cliff five years ago.
And the man who stepped out of the car and kissed that rival on the lips — was my husband.
That night I confronted Jack. He simply sighed:
"The truth? Is it really that important?"
Chapter 1
I lay down once more in the treatment pod at the Wolf Pack Clinic.
The silver-grey dome shut out the moonlight beyond the windows. Equipment hummed faintly, like someone counting in a whisper from very far away.
I hadn't truly slept for three nights straight.
Every time I closed my eyes, the screams of the past floated up from the darkness — short, shrill, pressed against my eardrums, refusing to fade.
The doctor told me to relax my fingers, follow my breathing, and confirm — one more time — the current time, place, and name.
"It's 1:17 a.m. You're at the Wolf Pack Clinic. Your name is Evelyn. You are safe here."
I nodded. My palms were still ice-cold.
Jack sat beside me, his hand covering the back of mine.
He was here in his capacity as my bonded mate, accompanying me through the stabilization sessions. His white shirt sleeves were rolled to the elbows, his expression patient and focused.
Whenever I jolted awake, he would press down on my shoulders and remind me not to look back — not to search for the source of the sound.
"I'm here," he said. "You don't need to be afraid."
That sentence was like a thin thread, pulling me back out of the nightmare.
Ever since I met Jack, he had stayed by my side — caring for me, helping me.
He wrote down the doctor's instructions for me. At night, he left the bedside lamp on.
Gradually, I came to believe that the love between us was unbreakable. At the very least, I could feel it: Jack loved me.
That belief helped my mental state recover, bit by bit — all the way through to after the wedding.
He brought me in for a fertility examination.
The doctor reviewed the results. His tone turned heavy quickly, his gaze drifting between the two of us. "I'm afraid the results are not good."
Jack straightened immediately and released my hand. "Get to the point. The pack needs an heir."
The doctor sighed and pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose. "The trauma left by the forced interruption of her childhood Awakening Ceremony runs too deep. The energy backlash didn't just destroy her nervous system and cause chronic insomnia — it also produced permanent reproductive damage. Given her current physical condition, the probability of bearing a pup is virtually zero."
I stared at the ceiling. The only sound left in my ears was the steady drip of the monitors.
Jack was silent for a few seconds, then let out a short laugh.
The smile was so faint it sent a chill down my spine.
"So — it comes down to bloodline after all."
The doctor frowned. "This has no direct connection to bloodline purity. It was caused by the ritual damage—"
"Inferior blood can't withstand a true Awakening." Jack cut him off and turned to me. "If you hadn't been reckless back then, you wouldn't have ended up like this."
My throat felt as though an invisible hand had clamped around it.
The words I wanted to say jammed in my chest. In the end, all I could do was lower my head.
He was right. It was my fault.
Jack needed an heir.
Back at home, I rummaged through old belongings, looking for a clean scarf.
At the bottom of a trunk lay a faded glass case. Inside rested a few dried leaves of Moonlight Grass.
The silver-white veins had long lost their luster, yet the sight instantly transported me back to that summer.
Back then, in preparation for the Awakening Ceremony, I had secretly slipped into the hills behind the estate and, under the moonlight, picked my first stalk of Moonlight Grass.
Joanna arrived with several others and found me. They snatched the stem away. She laughed and said someone like me had no right to touch the pack's sacred herb — that she'd sooner throw it away than let me use it.
They ground the Moonlight Grass into the mud. Shoe soles crushed it again and again, its delicate green juice staining the cracks between the stones.
I sat nearby with my arms around my knees, watching that faint glow vanish bit by bit.
I had never felt such despair.
Late that night, Jack picked up his phone.
He thought I was asleep. The cold light of the screen reflected off the side of his face.
I could vaguely make out that he kept opening the same chat window, his thumb hovering over Joanna's name, never quite pressing down.
"Whose messages are you reading?"
Jack looked up. His expression smoothed over almost instantly.
"Nobody's."
"Is it Joanna?"
"You've been like this a lot lately." He placed the phone face-down on the table. "The insomnia is making you paranoid. The bullying you think you remember — maybe it never even happened. She's not a bad person."
I stared at him, a tightness spreading through my chest. The doctor had said that trauma could distort memories, but I knew I wasn't wrong.
Jack stood to pour water. As he passed me, his sleeve brushed my wrist, and a familiar scent drifted down.
Bay laurel.
Joanna's signature bay laurel fragrance.
My phone buzzed at that exact moment. The screen lit up. The new message was a single short line:
Joanna: Let's meet tomorrow night. There's something I need to tell you.

The Mafia King's Unknown Doctor Wife
Everybody is Guilty Here
Middlesbrough's underworld is a dangerous game, and Matthew Smith finds himself right in the middle of it. A once-feared gang leader, he is now forced to be a pawn in a deadly cat-and-mouse game. Matthew's only shot at freedom is helping the police bring down Mr. K, the elusive mafia boss of the city. The only problem is that the detective he is forced to work with is the same man who arrested him years ago.
Masahiro Payne is everything Matthew hates: cold, calculating, and relentless. But their only hope for survival is by pretending to be a happy couple, blending in amidst dangerous crime, deceit, and power struggles. The closer they find themselves to taking down Mr. K's empire, the more they are attracted to one another, an affair too potent to turn from.
As their undercover mission spirals into a web of lies and hidden desires, they face a growing threat from all sides. But the greatest risk is the one they can't control-their own feelings. With every touch, every stolen kiss, the line between their fake relationship and real emotions blurs.
In a world of betrayal, trust is a luxury, and falling for each other may be the deadliest mistake of all. Can they survive the deadly mafia games or will their passion be their demise?
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display.
