Chapter 1 of Halloween Night Secrets

The kitchen smelled of cinnamon and pumpkin as I stirred the homemade soup one last time. Steam rose from the pot, warming my face as I leaned over to taste it. Perfect. Just the right amount of nutmeg.

"Mom! Is dinner ready yet?" Emma called from the living room, her voice tinged with that impatient excitement only a ten-year-old on Halloween could muster.

"Almost, sweetie. Just finishing the soup," I called back, wiping my hands on the orange and black pumpkin-patterned apron I'd bought specially for tonight.

I glanced at the clock on the wall: 6:30 PM. David had promised he'd be home by six. I reached for my phone and dialed his number for the third time that evening, balancing it between my ear and shoulder as I continued arranging the Halloween-themed table settings.

After four rings, he finally picked up.

"What is it, Sarah? I'm in the middle of something." His voice was clipped, irritated.

"The kids are asking when you'll be home. Dinner's almost ready, and we still need to take them trick-or-treating—"

"I'm busy with important business meetings," he interrupted. "I told you this morning I might be late."

No, he hadn't. But I swallowed the correction. "It's Halloween, David. You promised the kids—"

"I said I'm busy." The line went dead.

I stared at the phone, that familiar knot forming in my stomach. Something wasn't right. David had been growing more distant over the past few months, but lately, it felt like living with a stranger.

"Mommy, is Daddy coming home?" Jake appeared in the doorway, his six-year-old face half-hidden behind his superhero mask.

I forced a smile. "He's just running a little late, sweetheart. Business stuff. But look how amazing your costume is!"

Jake's momentary disappointment vanished as he spun around, showing off his cape. "I'm the strongest superhero ever!"

"You certainly are," I said, hanging the last of the paper bats from the kitchen doorway. "Why don't you and Emma watch some Halloween videos while I finish up here?"

As Jake ran back to the living room, I blinked back tears. Thirty-five years old, and here I was, the perfect housewife preparing the perfect holiday meal for a husband who couldn't even bother to call properly. Sometimes I barely recognized my life anymore—so far from the brilliant programmer I'd once been.

A sudden scream from the living room made me drop the ladle I was holding.

"Mom! MOM!" Emma's voice was panicked.

I rushed into the living room to find both children staring wide-eyed at Emma's tablet. Jake was already crying.

"What's wrong? What happened?" I asked, kneeling beside them.

Emma just pointed at the screen, her face pale. "It's... it's Dad."

I took the tablet from her trembling hands and felt the blood drain from my face. There on the screen was a live stream titled "Halloween Night with My Sugar Daddy." The thumbnail showed David—my husband—with a young woman I'd never seen before. They were both wearing matching vampire costumes, complete with fake blood and fangs.

With shaking fingers, I tapped the screen.

"Oh my God, you guys! Look what Daddy David just got me for Halloween!" The woman—who couldn't have been more than twenty-five—squealed as she opened a distinctive robin's-egg blue box. She pulled out a diamond necklace that glittered obscenely under the hotel room lights.

"Only the best for you, Candy," David said, his voice warm and affectionate in a way I hadn't heard in years.

The viewer count in the corner read 103,457 and climbing.

"How much did this cost?" Candy gasped, holding the necklace up to her neck.

"Just a cool million," David replied casually, as if discussing pocket change. "Worth every penny."

The chat sidebar was moving too fast to read, but I caught glimpses: "Does his wife know?" "She's so much hotter than his old wife!" "Sugar daddy goals!"

"My sugar daddy says his wife is just a boring housewife who doesn't appreciate him like I do!" Candy announced to the camera before turning to kiss David passionately.

"Mommy, why is Daddy kissing that lady?" Jake sobbed. "And why is he saying mean things about you?"

I couldn't answer. My fingers fumbled for my phone as I watched usernames I recognized—David's business associates, his friends, even his brother—flood the stream with expensive virtual gifts.

They all knew. Everyone knew except me.

I dialed David's number, my heart pounding in my ears. On the screen, I could see him glance at his phone, frown, and silence it without answering.

I called again. And again. On the fourth try, he finally answered, visibly annoyed on the live stream.

"I'm busy, Sarah. We'll talk later," he said coldly before hanging up.

As the viewer count climbed to 150,000, Candy's voice cut through the room: "His pathetic wife just sits at home doing nothing while he builds his empire. No wonder he needed an upgrade!"

Laughter. Digital gifts. Comments I couldn't bear to read.

And my children, watching it all unfold in real-time, their Halloween night shattered along with my marriage.

"Why is Daddy being so mean about you?" Emma whispered, tears streaming down her face.

The carefully carved pumpkins grinned mockingly from the windowsill as my world collapsed around me.

Alpha Rejected True Mate

The greenhouse was my sanctuary in a pack house that had never felt like home. Dawn hadn't yet broken when I slipped inside, the familiar scent of damp soil and blooming flowers wrapping around me like an embrace I'd long been denied elsewhere. My fingers trembled slightly as I reached for the watering can—a weakness I couldn't afford to show outside these glass walls. I focused on the white lilies, my favorites. Their pure petals reminded me of what I once was—hopeful, untainted. Before the mate bond that became my prison. "You're wilting too, aren't you?" I whispered to a drooping bloom, gently supporting its stem. My wolf, Luna, whimpered softly in the back of my mind. Once silver and strong, she now barely stirred, weakened by the sickness that had been consuming us both since I gave too much blood to save William three years ago. A sudden tremor ran through my bones, stronger than the usual morning weakness.

Betrayed Mate: Choosing True Love Path

My hands trembled as I stood at the edge of the ceremonial circle, watching the other seniors of our pack take their turns. The Coming of Age Ceremony was everything in werewolf society—the moment when our abilities would be fully tested, our ranks determined, our futures set. The scent of pine needles and burning sage filled the night air, and the full moon hung heavy above us, its silver light bathing the clearing in an ethereal glow. Ryan stood across the circle, his dark hair gleaming under the moonlight, those green eyes finding mine with the same reassurance they'd offered since we were pups. My heart fluttered as it always did when he looked at me. We'd been raised with the understanding that we were destined mates—our families had planned it, the pack expected it, and I had built my entire future around it. "Sophia Williams," Elder Marcus called, his Alpha voice resonating through the clearing. I stepped forward, my white ceremonial dress billowing around my ankles. Inside me, my wolf—Sarah—stirred anxiously. *We should show our full strength*, she whispered in my mind.

His Betrayal Cost Me My Wolf And My Legs

The day before the final, my mate orchestrated a devastating scheme to ensure his favored talent, Francesca, would claim victory in the Pack Talent Show and steal the spotlight. As Alpha of the Blue Fang Pack, Leonard Howell’s word was law, and he used his authority to arrange a car accident that left me unable to shift into my wolf form or stand ever again. When I regained consciousness in the pack’s infirmary, the sterile scent of antiseptic filled the air. Leonard sat beside me, his towering frame dominating the room, his muscles tense even as he casually peeled an apple. His voice was calm, almost detached, as he said, "Arianna, hang in there a bit longer. The Healer says there’s a chance for your legs, so be patient. I’ll call him soon." His words sparked a flicker of hope within me. I reached for the call button, desperate to summon the Healer. But Leonard’s hand shot out, pressing mine down with an iron grip. The strength of an Alpha was overwhelming, and I felt my wrist ache under the pressure.

Just like the evening breeze leaves no trace

Chapter 1 It was their seventh wedding anniversary. Carolyn found the divorce agreement in Roger’s nightstand. The pages were covered in scribbles and corrections, as if he’d agonized over them for years. *"If, during the marriage, I fall in love with another person, I voluntarily relinquish all assets and leave with nothing. Asset details as follows…"* His first impulse had been to walk away empty-handed. But the asset section told a different story—a mess of revisions. First, he’d crossed out the property he intended to give her. Then, the fifty million earmarked for her was scratched out and replaced with five hundred thousand. Finally, as if in penance, he had written a single line. *"Better to have Carolyn leave with nothing. No choice, Catherine is pregnant."* … Carolyn sank onto the bed, disbelief washing over her. On the agreement, Roger’s signature was clean and decisive, without a hint of hesitation. And the document had been drafted seven years ago—the very year they married. That year, Roger had been willing to give up everything for her. Yet every year after, he had crossed out another piece of their shared life. Now, seven years later, the one leaving with nothing would be her. Her phone buzzed abruptly. A message from Roger. *"Urgent business. Won't be back."* She called, only to find his phone already switched off. Another notification flashed—a screenshot from a friend. Catherine, the student she sponsored, had posted on social media. *"Wow, got praised! To commemorate my first period without a leak, the big boss said we should celebrate properly!"* In a nine-photo collage, Roger gazed at her, eyes crinkling with affection as he fastened a dazzling gemstone necklace around her neck. The post was tagged at a couples-themed hotel. Carolyn’s breath caught. He couldn’t remember seven years of marriage, of weathering storms together—but he could find the energy to celebrate Catherine’s… leak-free period. And that pendant… she’d seen it at an auction just last week. It was her mother’s lost heirloom. She’d been ready to bid when her bank card was frozen. She’d asked Roger why. A long time later, he finally texted back, telling her not to waste money on such impractical things. Clutching her bidding paddle, she’d sat helplessly in the auction hall. In the end, she resolved to sell one of her own designs to raise the funds. But someone on the phone swooped in with an unbeatable offer and took it. For weeks afterward, Carolyn hated herself—hated that she couldn’t protect her mother’s last keepsake. She never imagined the one who snatched it away was Roger. He knew exactly how much that pendant meant to her. Yet he gave it to Catherine. Even on their seventh anniversary, Roger had lied about being busy with work, while wining and dining the girl she’d sponsored. The anniversary gift he left her was a divorce agreement demanding she leave with nothing. Seven years of marriage. Seven years of infidelity. And Carolyn had known nothing. She’d even introduced the other woman to him herself. Catherine was the impoverished student Carolyn sponsored. The first time Catherine came to their home to give thanks, Roger found her intrusive and disliked her on sight. *"That girl has no manners. Tracked mud all over my cashmere rug."* *"If her grades aren’t up to par, cut the sponsorship."* Back then, Carolyn had teased him, saying not to be jealous—it was good the girl had a grateful heart. She never once suspected Roger and Catherine. For seven years, everyone in their circle believed Roger never played around. That he loved only Carolyn. But by their next meeting, Catherine had become Roger’s personal assistant. Roger explained, *"The girl’s had it tough. You’ve sponsored her for years. Giving her a job is just helping you out."* Carolyn had laughed it off. Now, hands trembling, she opened Catherine’s social media feed. Catherine had always hidden her posts from Carolyn. Now, she seemed desperate to flaunt everything. While Carolyn drank until her stomach bled to secure a deal for Roger, Catherine was using Roger’s card to buy her first Louis Vuitton. While Carolyn changed bedpans for Roger’s bedridden grandmother, Roger was taking Catherine to a perfume atelier for a blending class—calling it a business trip. Catherine had even complained online. *"Your wife is such a pampered princess. Can't handle the tiniest thing without you running back. Can she not live without a man?"* And Roger had replied beneath it. *"If she were half as independent as you, I’d have an easier life."* But that day… Carolyn’s mother had lost her battle with cancer. She’d cried until her heart felt shredded, scrambling to handle the arrangements. All the while, Roger kept checking his phone impatiently, eager to leave. Not for work, she realized now—but because he was desperate to get back to Catherine.
