Hiding His Heir: The Rejected Luna’s Return
"You are weak, scentless, and unworthy. I, Alpha Silas, reject you as my mate."
On her 18th birthday, Lyra Thorne didn’t get a celebration. She got a public execution of her heart.
In the Blackwood Pack where power is law, Lyra was the anomaly—an embarrassment to her father and a liability to her pack. But the cruelest blow came from Alpha Silas, her Fated Mate. Instead of claiming her, he shattered their bond in front of everyone to marry a rival’s daughter for a political alliance.
Broken, pregnant, and left for dead, Lyra fled into the Forbidden Forest. The pack assumed the weak wolfless girl had perished.
They were wrong.
Three years later, Blackwood is on the brink of war. Their only hope lies with **The Shadow Claws**, a legendary mercenary faction led by a ruthless, masked woman known only as 'The Viper.' She is cold, lethal, and commands respect from the most dangerous wolves in the region.
When Silas meets this mysterious warrior, he is inexplicably drawn to her. But when the mask finally slips, he is forced to face his biggest regret: The weak girl he threw away is now the powerful Queen he needs to save his pack.
Silas wants her back. He wants to claim what is his.
But Lyra didn't return for love. She returned for justice. And she didn't come alone.
She brought a little boy with eyes that mirror the Alpha's own... a secret that could either redeem Silas, or destroy his entire kingdom.

Chapter: Chapter 180: The First BetrayalThe "Mirror’s Gaze" had turned its terminal interest away from the past and toward the Sovereign herself. Lyra stood in the center of the unweaving "Sepia" laboratory, her obsidian blade glowing with a frantic, violet-gold intensity. She felt the "Peer Review" of the Architects seeking out the "Last Memory" of her mother—the one she had hidden in the deepest sub-level of her marrow.It was the "Memory of the First Breath"—the moment Seraphina had held her in the scullery and whispered the "True Scent" of the North."Don't give it to them, Lyra!" Silas Blackwood roared, his gold-and-sapphire skin pulsing with a rhythmic, terminal protective light. He tried to lunge between her and the Mirror, but the "Sepia" static was too thick. He was becoming a "Ghost Variable" again, his existence being "Paused" by the Reader’s demand for the prequel’s climax."The 'First Betrayal' is a trade, Lyra Thorne," the silver-eyed reflection spoke from the Mirror, its voice sou

Chapter: Chapter 179: The Mirror's GazeThe absorption of the violet lily into the Mirror was the first "Biological Contamination" of the Architects' logic. As the flower dissolved into the mercury-vortex, the silver-white glass didn't shatter; it "Bruised." A series of violet-gold veins erupted across the monochromatic surface, a rhythmic, pained pulse that made the young Silas Thorne recoil."What have you done?" the young Thorne shrieked, his clinical mask flickering for a fraction of a second. He saw the mercury-reflection of himself beginning to "Bleed" violet starlight."I gave them the 'Ache', Silas," Seraphina replied, her voice a sound of pure, celestial music. She fell to her knees, her liquid-gold eyes losing their brilliance as she sacrificed the "Source" to poison the Mirror. "They want the North to be a 'Clean Room'? Then they'll have to deal with the 'Stain' of my grief."The current Silas Blackwood and Lyra watched the scene with a soul-shattering clarity. They realized then that

Chapter: Chapter 178: The Scent of the DealThe arrival of the young Seraphina turned the "Sepia" laboratory into a theater of ancient, celestial horror. She stood at the threshold, her liquid-gold eyes bright with a "Sovereign Sight" that the young Silas Thorne had just traded away. She saw the mercury-vortex in the Mirror for what it truly was: a "Leech" in reality, a terminal frequency that was already starting to "Bleach" the scent of the room."Silas, put the vial down!" Seraphina commanded, her voice sounding like a thousand years of hope suddenly given a voice. She lunged for him, but a wall of invisible, silver-white glass slammed into her chest, throwing her back against the rough-hewn stone wall."It’s too late, Seraphina," Silas Thorne said, his voice now a rhythmic, grinding vibration that held no warmth. He stood before the Mirror, his skin taking on a faint, iridescent marble quality. "The 'Cure' has been administered. The North is no longer a graveyard. It is a 'Project'."The current

Chapter: Chapter 177: The Physician's PrideThe young Silas Thorne stood before the Mirror, his fingers white-knuckled around the vial of iridescent liquid. He was a man defined by the "Physician’s Pride"—the belief that the world was a series of biological errors that only he had the vision to correct. He looked at the "Reflection" in the mercury-light, a silver-eyed twin that radiated the cold, clinical authority he had always craved."A 'Peer Review'?" Silas Thorne asked, his voice a sharp, clinical vibration. "I don't remember inviting any guests to my laboratory.""The North is the laboratory, Silas," the silver-eyed reflection replied, its voice sounding like the grind of glass. "And the Architects are the 'Review Board'. We have seen your work. Your attempts to force the shift in the 'Weak' are... admirable. But they are inefficient. You are trying to fix the machine with a hammer when you need a 'System Update'."The current Silas Blackwood and Lyra stood in the shadows, watching the "True O

Chapter: Chapter 176: The Sepia DescentThe "Page White" sky of the North did not dissolve so much as it bled. The vibrant violet and gold of the present began to drain away, replaced by a heavy, monochromatic amber that smelled of old parchment and cold iron. Silas Blackwood felt the transition in his bones, a slow, grinding shift of his reality as the "Golden Threads" of the Reader’s interest pulled him through the floor of the keep and into the marrow of the mountain.Beside him, Lyra was a ghost in the making. Her shadow-wings, once so solid and fierce, were flickering into a translucent grey. She reached for Kaelen, but the boy was already halfway into the past, his eyes solid, glowing violet as he navigated the "True Origin" for the Author’s pen."It’s not a memory, Silas," Lyra whispered, her voice sounding like a recording played from a distance. "The Reader isn't just watching. They are 'Rendering' the past. We are entering the draft."The ruins of the modern keep unwove. The sapphire g

Chapter: Chapter 175: The Turning PageThe "Total Deletion" of the North was not a sudden explosion; it was a "Fade to Black." In the Library of Souls, the miles-wide chamber of glowing violet scrolls was losing its definition. The gold-and-sapphire light of Silas’s heresy and the violet ozone of Lyra’s wings were being pulled toward the center of the room—toward the "Void-Seed" that had once been the eighteen-year-old, Scentless Lyra.The girl was no longer a human form; she was a "Black Hole of Narratives." She was consuming the "Redemption," the "Rejection," and the "Genesis" into a single, terminal point of non-existence."They’re taking the North, Silas!" Lyra screamed, her hand still clutched in his as the ground beneath them began to unweave. "The 'Reader' has clicked 'Discard'! They’re deleting the entire 'Project'!"Silas looked at the "Void-Seed." He saw the flashes of their shared history inside the darkness—the night of the rejection, the first shift in the forest, the battle at the

Too Late to Love Me, Mr. Elizalde
Tatlong taon. Three years of hell. Ganoon katagal tiniis ni Maria ang isang loveless marriage sa piling ni Javier Elizalde. Sa mata ng cold-hearted CEO, isa lang siyang desperadang gold digger na humahadlang sa kaligayahan nito.
Pero nagbago ang lahat nang ma-aksidente si Javier. Tragedy struck, leaving the powerful billionaire blind and helpless.
Sa panahong tinalikuran siya ng mundo, si Maria ang nanatili. She became his eyes, his hands, and his sole comfort. Sa ilalim ng katahimikan at walang pagpapakilala, inalagaan niya ito. She nursed him back to health, umaasang sa wakas ay matutunaw na ang yelong nakabalot sa puso ng asawa niya. And it worked—he fell in love with her gentle care, promising to cherish the woman who saved him once he recovered.
Pero ang akala ni Maria na happy ending, naging bangungot.
When Javier finally opened his eyes, he didn't look for her. Instead, he embraced another woman—his first love—believing she was the one who stayed by his side.
Wasak na wasak at pagod na sa pagiging option, Maria made the ultimate decision. Ibinigay niya ang kalayaang matagal nang hinihingi ni Javier. She handed him the divorce papers with a final, broken whisper:
"You are free now, Javi. And so am I."
She left without looking back.
Kaya bakit ngayon ay parang asong ulol na naghahabol ang makapangyarihang CEO sa kanyang ex-wife? Bakit siya lumuluhod at nagmamakaawa para sa isang second chance?
Sorry, Mr. CEO. The wife you took for granted is dead and gone. And this time?
Walang bawian.

Chapter: Chapter 230: Ang Bagong Arkitekto ng TadhanaAng usok sa rooftop ng Elizalde Tower ay dahan-dahang humuhupa, iniwan ang isang eksenang tila binuo mula sa pira-pirasong alaala at pighati. Nakahandusay sa semento si Javi, ang kaniyang katawan ay puno ng mga paso at sugat mula sa matinding electrical surge. Sa kaniyang tabi, nakaupo si Maria—o ang consciousness ni Maria na nasa loob na ngayon ng isang naghihingalong biological shell.“Javi... Javi, gumising ka,” bulong ni Maria, ang kaniyang boses ay paos at mechanical.Dahan-dahang imulat ni Javi ang kaniyang mga mata. Ang kaniyang paningin ay malabo, ngunit ang unang nakita niya ay ang mga mata ni Maria. Hindi ang pilak na mata ng isang makina, kundi ang mga matang punung-puno ng pag-ibig na kaniyang nakilala noong sila ay nagsisimula pa lamang sa kanilang villa sa Tagaytay.“Ligtas na ba... ang bata?” hirap na tanong ni Javi.“Ligtas na siya, Daddy!” hiyaw ni Gabriel habang tumatakbo palabas ng elevator, kasunod si Selene at Arturo.

Chapter: Chapter 229: Ang Huling Sayaw ng PighatiAng usok mula sa pagsabog sa rooftop ay tila isang itim na belo na nagtatago sa bangungot na kinakaharap ng pamilya Soliven-Valdez. Nakasabit si Javi sa dulo ng isang bakal na rehas, sa ilalim niya ay ang sandaang palapag na kailaliman ng BGC. Ang kaniyang mga daliri ay duguang kumakapit sa malamig na metal, habang ang hangin ay tila pilit siyang hinihila pababa.“Javi!” ang hiyaw ni Maria ay umalingawngaw sa gitna ng kaguluhan.Sa loob ng Original body na unti-unti nang nagkakapira-piraso, pinilit ni Maria na gamitin ang kaniyang "Source" interface para kontrolin ang mga kable ng elevator. Sa isang mabilis na pagkilos, ang isang makapal na wire ay lumipad patungo kay Javi, nakapulupot sa kaniyang baywang at hinila siya pabalik sa semento.Bumagsak si Javi, hingal na hingal, habang mabilis na lumapit si Maria sa kaniya. Ang mukha ng Original Maria ay punung-puno na ng mga lamat, naglalabas ng isang nakakasilaw na pulang liwanag na tila kumukulong asido.

Chapter: Chapter 228: Ang Apoy ng Isang AnakAng tunog ng alarm para sa self-destruct ay tila isang kumpas ng kamatayan na umaalingawngaw sa buong Bonifacio Global City. Ang tore na naging simbolo ng kapangyarihan at pag-asa ni Maria ay unti-unti nang nagiging isang dambuhalang mitsa. Ngunit sa gitna ng nagbabagang panganib, ang mas nakakapanghilakbot ay ang imahe ni Gabriel sa monitor.“Gabriel! Anak, makinig ka kay Daddy!” hiyaw ni Javi, pilit na lumalapit sa main console kung nasaan ang broadcast link ng kaniyang anak.Ang munting Gabriel, na dapat ay naglalaro lamang ng kaniyang mga laruang kotse, ay nakatayo sa gitna ng central server room ng tower. Ang kaniyang maliit na katawan ay nababalot ng isang itim na aura—isang side effect ng "Source" na pilit na inie-extract ni Augusto sa kaniya. Ang kaniyang mga mata, na dati ay puno ng kislap ng kabataan, ay punung-puno ngayon ng isang matandang poot.“Bakit mo sila ililigtas, Daddy?” ang boses ni Gabriel ay may halong mechanical static, tila may lib

Chapter: Chapter 227: Ang Digmaan ng mga DiwaAng bawat segundo sa rooftop ng Elizalde Tower ay tila isang pakikipagkarera sa pagitan ng buhay at kamatayan. Ang katawan ng Original Maria ay nanginginig, tila isang computer na pilit na sinusunog ang sarili nitong circuitry. Sa loob ng kaniyang isipan, nagaganap ang isang brutal na digmaan—ang artificial intelligence na binuo ni Augusto ay pilit na nilalabanan ang pag-atake ng consciousness ng ating Maria.“Maria! Labanan mo siya!” hiyaw ni Javi, pilit na humahakbang palapit kahit na pinipigilan siya ng mga guwardiya ni Augusto.“Lumayo ka, Javi!” sigaw ni Maria sa pamamagitan ng bibig ng Original. Ang kaniyang boses ay may halong pighati at determinasyon. “Masyadong malakas ang system ni Augusto! Sinusubukan niyang i-lock ang consciousness ko sa loob ng isang feedback loop!”Mabilis na kumilos si Ricardo Valdez. Bago pa man makalingon si Augusto, itiniop ni Ricardo ang itim na injector sa leeg ng kaniyang dating kasabwat. Isang dambuhalang kuryente ang

Chapter: Chapter 226: Ang Pagbulusok ng Isang AninoAng huling nakita ni Javi ay ang asul na kislap sa mga mata ng Alpha Maria bago ito tuluyang lumampas sa gilid ng rooftop. Ang kaniyang hiyaw ay nalunod sa ugong ng hangin at sa nakakangilong tawa ni Augusto Soliven. Sa isang iglap, ang babaeng dinala ang kaniyang buhay patungo sa rurok ng tagumpay—ang babaeng kaniyang sinaktan, binalewala, at kalaunan ay minahal nang higit sa kaniyang buhay—ay dahan-dahang nilalamon ng madilim na kailaliman ng BGC. “Ria!” ang sigaw ni Javi ay puno ng purong pighati, isang tunog na tila binibiyak ang kaniyang sariling kaluluwa. Sinubukan niyang tumalon, pilit na inaabot ang aninong bumubulusok, ngunit mahigpit siyang hinawakan nina Selene at Arturo. “Javi, hindi! Wala ka nang kapangyarihan! Mamamatay ka lang!” hiyaw ni Arturo. Habang nagaganap ang kaguluhan, ang babaeng tinawag ni Augusto na "Original Maria" ay nananatiling nakatayo sa anino. Ang kaniyang hawak na baril ay nananatiling matatag, nakaturo s

Chapter: Chapter 225: Ang Pagdating ng UnosAng katahimikan sa loob ng bunker ay binalot ng isang nakakabinging kumpas ng mga monitor. Ang rebelasyon ni Arturo ay tila isang dambuhalang dagok sa bawat isa sa kanila. Libu-libong Maria. Isang buong bansa ng mga robot na may mukha ng asawa ni Javi. Ang pangarap ni Augusto Soliven ay hindi lang kapangyarihan; ito ay ang tuluyang pagbubura sa katangi-tanging ganda at damdamin ng bawat Filipina upang palitan ng kaniyang mga "perpektong" sundalo.“Diyos ko...” bulong ni Selene, ang kaniyang mga kamay ay nanginginig sa kaniyang baril. “Ito ang tunay na purge. Isang social replacement program.”Si Javi ay hindi na makapagsalita. Ang kaniyang mukha ay puno ng pighati at galit. Ang kaniyang asawa—ang babaeng binuo ang sarili mula sa abo ng kaniyang mga pagkakamali—ay ginagawang hulmahan para sa isang hukbong walang kaluluwa. Ang bawat luhang pumatak kay Maria noon ay naging data points para sa produksyong ito.“Ria, pakinggan mo ako!” sigaw ni Javi sa asawa na
