LOGINWhen her fated mate chooses her best friend, Euphyllia Ivara Ruinart discovers a cruel truth that she has been reborn countless times, only to be betrayed in every life. In her despair, one forbidden night binds her to Lucretius Xior Franciosa, Alpha of the Golden Eclipse Pack, commander in the royal military, and her mate's own uncle and sworn enemy. From that night on, cryptic notes and a single chrysanthemum begin to appear, which she soon discovers are from him. It's his constant reminder that she is being watched, claimed, and marked as his. Then comes his offer: vengeance, in exchange for her body, her trust, and perhaps even her soul. A deal with the devil, which she accepts, swearing to destroy the mate who cast her aside and the friend who betrayed her. What starts as revenge becomes an entanglement with his darkness, where obsession devours love and ruin is the only end. But amidst the chaos of betrayal and desire, Euphyllia yearns to uncover the mystery of her past lives and discover who she truly is.

I couldn't contain my tears as I hugged them both, whispering how thankful I was for who I was today."You can count on me," Lucretius promised, his hand gently holding mine as he brought it to his lips to kiss the back of it.My breath hitched at his gesture. It never failed to make me falter every time he would do some sweet gesture that would always render me speechless.This was just for a show, I reminded myself.When my eyes lingered on him, a soft smile played on his lips, tinged with a hint of mischief on his handsome face."We can still run away and do the honeymoon right now, wifey. You are too beautiful in my eyes that I want to claim you right away. Say the words, and I will make it come true." He wriggled his eyebrows. I pressed my lips into a thin line, suppressing the wide smile that was about to ble
I stepped out from behind the divider where I had changed, smoothing my palms over the gown Rosemarie had designed. Rosemarie approached me from behind and tugged the last ribbon at the back of my gown before putting over the veil and practically squaled into my ear. "My, my! Turn around, my lady! I need to see you properly."I took a breath and faced the mirror. And that moment, I felt my breath being taken away as the room fell silent. Even my own heartbeat felt like it paused.I gulped, couldn't explain what I was feeling right now. My heart felt like about to burst.Rosemarie's masterpiece fit me as she claimed. It was as if it had been made with my bones in mind. A soft fabric, delicate embroidery, light catching on every detail, like the dress held its own faint glow.My new wedding gown glowed softly under the afternoon light pouring through the window. Layers of silk cascaded around me, each fold embroidered with delicate gold threads that shimmered when I shifted.Rosemarie
The servants helped me take a bath with some lukewarm water, carrying the soft fragrance of lavender and crushed rose petals. I knew that this was not needed to help me with dressing up, but Lucretius wanted everything to be perfect for this day.The ruined wedding gown almost wreaked havoc, so it would be better to follow the things he wanted to aim for perfectly. My dress was already being prepared in Rosemarie's workroom, and the servants moved around with hushed excitement, as if trying not to disturb the sacred calm before a wedding. "Luna, please relax your shoulders," one of the maids murmured as she poured warm water down my back. Another added fresh flowers to the bath.I sank deeper into the tub, letting out a slow breath. I was still feeling nervous being surrounded by them, even though we were of the same gender. But it seemed that I must get used to being pampered like this because I married one of the wealthiest people in our kingdom.It felt surreal to realize I had n
After breakfast, Rosemarie and her assistants had finally eaten. Lucretius and I made our way to her room, where they rested the ruined wedding gown, escorted by Horace to request Rosemarie's presence for some serious conversation about the wedding dress. I knew that there was something in her gaze back in the dining hall as if she wanted to tell us something. And it seemed Lucretius noticed it, too, which was why he arranged a private meeting with just the three of us.When we entered, Rosemarie immediately dismissed her assistants with a small gesture. Once the door shut behind them, she turned toward us, her expression soft yet steady."Your Graces," she began, bowing slightly. "I really wanted to speak with you in private."Lucretius and I exchanged glances. Looks like both of us were right that she wanted to discuss something with us.Lucretius folded his arms. "Go on."Rosemarie's eyes flickered between the two of us before she stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. "P
