LOGINSHE DIED BETRAYED. SHE WAS REBORN FOR REVENGE. ☆☆☆ On the Grand Moon Night, Serena finally found her fated mate—only to witness Alpha Dominic in bed with her step-sister, Vivian. When she confronted them, they didn't just reject her. They killed her. Thrown off a cliff and left for dead, Serena made a desperate prayer to the Moon Goddess: Give me another chance, and I'll make them pay. Her prayer was answered. Serena awakens in a new body with a new face, but the same burning need for vengeance. She's now Serena Hayden, daughter of the West Pack's Beta, and she's just married the most dangerous wolf in existence—Supreme Alpha Kael, ruler of the North Pack. But nothing is as it seems. Kael has three mistresses who want her gone, a dead brother who just returned alive, and secrets darker than the blood moon itself. Worse, he knows something's different about her. He can sense the fire burning beneath her skin, the rage simmering in her eyes, and the power thrumming through their mate bond. "I don't know who you are," he whispers against her lips, "but I'm going to find out." Serena has one goal: destroy the ones who destroyed her. But as she navigates deadly pack politics, jealous mistresses, and a Supreme Alpha who's as intoxicating as he is dangerous, she discovers something terrifying. She's falling for the one man who could expose her secret. And her enemies? They're closer than she ever imagined.
View MoreTHREE years na silang secretly married at pinupunan ang obligasyon nila sa isa't-isa bilang mag-asawa. Twice a month pinapapunta ni Caden Montclair si Talia Marquez sa private villa niya sa Tagaytay, hindi para mag-date o magbakasyon kundi para mag-sex. Hindi sila nagsasama ni Caden bilang mag-asawa, at ang napagkasunduan nila ay mag-sex twice a month para maibsan ang kanilang mga sexual needs.
Gustong-gusto ni Talia ang mga white rose sa mini garden ng villa dahil simple pero elegante, katulad ng mga pangarap niyang matagal nang niyang ibinaon sa limot. Pero ngayong araw, iba na ang dahilan ng pagpayag niyang pumunta muli roon. Iyon na kasi ang huli na papayag siya sa ganoong setup. Tatlong taon na ang nakalipas simula ng ikasal sila ni Caden pero ngayon, dala na niya ang divorce paper at handa na siyang tapusin kung anu man ang meron sa kanila. Pagpasok niya sa master's bedroom, kalalabas lang ni Caden sa banyo. Wala na itong pang-itaas, isang puting tuwalya lang ang nakapulupot sa baywang nito. Ang basa nitong buhok ay tumutulo pa sa matipuno nitong dibdib, pababa sa six-pack abs na parang perpektong hinulma sa Diyos ng mga Griyego. Pero kung noon, titig pa lang ng lalaki ay nanghihina na siya, hindi na ngayon. Hindi na siya ay Talia na nawawala sa sarili sa tuwing nakikita ito. Maya-maya pa'y tahimik itong lumapit, saka walang sabi-sabi, binuhat siya patungo sa king size bed. Napatili si Talia, at bago pa siya makapagsalita ay mariin na siya nitong hinahalikan habang tinatanggal ang suot niyang manipis na evening gown. Amoy niya ang pinagsamang tobacco at whisky sa hininga nito, pero sa halip na mailang ay nagdala iyon mg kakaibang init kay Talia. Mas marahas din ang bawat galaw nito, hindi katulad ng dati. Sabik na sabik ito sa kan'ya at kung halikan siya ay para bang gusto siyang lamunin nito ng buong-buo. Ang temperatura sa loob ng masters bedroom ay para bang lalong naging mainit. Ang kanilang mga kamalayan ay unti-unti nang tinatangay ng hangin at pawang mga halinghing at pag-ungol na lang ang mauulinigan sa apat na sulok ng kwarto. At doon, habang inaangkin siya ni Caden ay nanumbalik kay Talia ang divorce paper na dala-dala niya pagpunta niya roon. At naisip niyang siguro, iyon talaga ang kapalaran niya- ang hiramin si Caden Montclair maging asawa sa loob ng tatlong taon. At sa gabing iyon, doon ma magtatapos ang lahat... --- Madaling-araw nang magising si Talia at makaramdam ng gutom. Paglingon niya sa kanyang tabi, bakante na iyon. Wala nang bakas ni Caden, at ang tanging naiwan na lang ay ang mainit na comforter na ginamit nito. Napangiti siya nang mapait at tinanggap sa sarili na iyon na ang huli na makakasama niya ang asawa. Masakit ang buong katawan niya nang bumangon at bumababa sa kama. Nag-suot siya ng robe at lumabas ng kwarto para magpunta sa dining hall. Pagdating niya roon, naabutan niya ang mga maid na nagsisipaglinis. Simple siyang binati nang mga ito nang makita siya. "Ma'am, gising na po kayo. Sabi ni Sir Caden, ipagluto ko kayo ng hapunan bago siya umalis." Tumango naman si Talia saka simpleng ngumiti. "Thanks." Naupo siya sa malaki at pahabang mesa habang naghihintay na i-served ang dinner. Maya-maya pa'y napansin niya ang cellphone niyang nakapatong sa estante. Kinuha niya iyon at binuksan para i-check kung may message mula kay Caden. Habang nag-i-scroll sa Faceboök, ilang trending posts ang agad na bumungad sa kan'ya. #CadenMontclair throws a ₱10-million birthday party for Jessa Velasquez. #Good things coming! Caden Montclair and Jessa spotted together in Singapore! Napatigil siya. Parang may malamig na tubig na ibinuhos sa kanya habang tinititigan ang mga headline. Her chest tightened, her breath caught halfway. Si Jessa Velasquez. Ang babaeng matagal na niyang naririnig na nali-link kay Caden, ang "first love" nito. Ang babaeng kahit kailan, hindi niya kayang tapatan sa puso ng asawa. Biglang parang umiikot ang paligid ni Talia ng mga sandaling iyon. Napahawak siya sa gilid ng mesa, sinusubukang pigilan ang pagkahilo. Naramdaman niyang bumigat ang loob niya habang unti-unting bumabalik ang mga alaala ng villa kung saan siya naroroon. Ang mga gabing akala niya'y kanya si Caden, pero sa totoo lang, isa lang pala siyang panakip-butas ng babaeng iyon. Ang bawat sulok ng villa, mula sa mga white lilies hanggang sa amoy ng alak sa hangin, lahat pala ay tungkol kay Jessa. At sa loob ng tatlong taon, nabuhay si Talia sa isang ilusyon, sa isang pag-ibig na hindi kailanman para sa kanya. Talia slowly set down her spoon and went upstairs to change. Pagtingin niya sa kama, puro lamig at katahimikan na lang ang naiwan. She let out a tired sigh, her gaze hardening with quiet pain. "Napakagaling mo talaga, Caden! Kanina lang, yakap-yakap mo pa ako. But now, you're probably in a private jet, heading to Singapore to celebrate your first love's birthday. In ten minutes, she went back downstairs and told the housekeeper, "Sabihin mo kay Caden, hindi na ako babalik dito." She knew it in her gut, she was never coming back to that villa again. Pag-uwi niya sa condo sa Makati, tahimik niyang inilabas mula sa bag ang divorce papers na matagal nang nakatago. Isang buwan na niyang inihanda ang mga iyon, pero hindi niya alam kung saan at kailan niya ito maibibigay. Akala niya kanina na ang araw na iyon, pero siya pala itong iiwanan... --- Kinabukasan ng tanghali, nagising si Talia sa sunod-sunod na pag-ring ng cellphone dahilan para mabulabog ang pagtulog niya. Pagtingin niya, 20 miscalls ang na-receive niya mula sa best friend niyang si Bea Santiago. Nang makita iyon ay kaagad niya itong tinawagan pabalik. "Hello, besty? Sorry, ngayon ko lang nakita ang tawag mo." "Finally! Akala ko kung ano'ng nangyari sa 'yo!" sigaw ni Bea sa kabilang linya. "Girl, do you have any idea how worried I was? I called you twenty times!" Napahawak si Talia sa sentido at napangiti ng marahan. "Don't worry, Bea. I'm fine. I'm still alive." "Fine? Are you kidding me? You sounded like you were about to jump off a building last time we talked!" Natawa siya kahit kaunti. "I promise, I'm okay. I just needed some sleep." "Good. Because I swear, if you don't text me later, I'm flying back to Manila to drag you out for coffee." "Okay, okay. I'll wait for you," sabi niya, trying to sound light even though her chest still felt heavy. Pagkababa niya ng tawag, muling binalot ng katahimikan ang buong unit. Nakatitig lang siya sa kisame, parang sinusuri ang mga alaala ng nakaraan... She remembered everything... every stupid, painful detail. Nang high school pa lang sila, sinundan niya na si Caden sa lahat ng activities. When he skipped a grade, she worked harder para makasabay. When he studied abroad, she followed. When he studied medicine, she switched courses para lang mapalapit. At noong nalaman niyang muntik na itong malunod sa isang yachting accident sa Subic, siya pa ang unang sumugod sa tubig. Wala siyang pakialam kung malunod man siya, basta't ang mahalaga ay mailigtas niya si Caden. Pero kahit ganoon, parang wala pa rin siyang halaga. "He never valued me the way I valued him. Ibinigay ko ang lahat pero tanging malamig na trato lang ang sinukli niya sa akin...”Serena's POV "I can explain." Kael's expression was glacial. He held up the documents like evidence at a trial. "Can you?" "Yes." I stepped into Isla's room, closing the door behind me. "But you're not going to like it." "Try me." I took a breath. "Elara and Morgana planted those files here. I overheard them in the library planning the whole thing. They wanted to frame me by making it look like I hid stolen documents in Isla's chambers." Kael's eyes narrowed. "And you expect me to believe that?" "Check the timeline," I said. "When did you come here? Five minutes ago? Ten? I've been in the library for the past hour. The librarian can confirm it." I crossed my arms. "If I planted these files, why would I come back to the scene? That's just stupid." He was silent, processing. "Elara and Morgana," he said slowly. "You're accusing two of my most trusted—" "Mistresses," I finished. "Two women who had your full attention until I showed up. Two women who want me go
Serena's POV "I'm waiting." Kael stood in front of me with his arms crossed and his expression unreadable. We were back in what I assumed was our shared bedroom, a massive suite that screamed power and wealth. And I had absolutely no good explanation for what just happened. "He was confused," I tried. "Don't." Kael's voice was sharp. "Don't insult my intelligence, Serena. Alpha Dominic looked at you like he'd seen a ghost." Because he had. But I couldn't say that. Not yet. Not until I figured out what the hell was going on with this body and this life I'd been dropped into. "He mistook me for someone else," I said carefully. Kael laughed. It wasn't a nice sound. "Try again." "I don't owe you explanations." "You're my wife," he said softly, dangerously. "You owe me everything." My wolf bristled at the command in his tone but I forced myself to stay calm. I needed information. Needed to understand who the original Serena Hayden was before I could navigate thi
Serena's POV The reception hall was obscenely grand. Crystal chandeliers dripping light, long tables overflowing with food and wine freely. Wolves from every pack mingled, laughing and celebrating. And I wanted to burn it all down. Because across the room, walking through the entrance like they owned the place, were Dominic and Vivian. My murderers. Dominic looked the same. Handsome in that effortless way alphas always managed. Tall, broad-shouldered, with those hazel eyes that once made my heart race. Now they just made my stomach turn. And Vivian. She clung to his arm like a parasite, dressed in a gown that was entirely too revealing for someone who wasn't the bride. Her blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders and that smug smile on her face made my claws itch. "Breathe," I muttered to myself. "Don't shift. Don't kill. Not yet." "Something wrong?" Kael's voice rumbled beside me. I turned to find him watching me with those calculating golden eyes. He'd been doing
Serena's POV Voices. Soft, feminine and way too cheerful. "...the dress is absolutely stunning..." "...I heard the Supreme Alpha himself chose the design..." "...such a lucky bride..." Bride? I forced my eyes open and immediately regretted it. Bright light stabbed my retinas like tiny daggers and I groaned, squinting against the assault. "My lady! You're awake!" A face appeared above me. Round cheeks, bright eyes and a smile so wide it looked painful. "Who..." My voice came out scratchy. "Where am I?" "In your chambers, my lady," the maid said, confused. "Are you feeling unwell? Should I call the healer?" My chambers? I sat up slowly and the world tilted for a second before settling. I was in a bed. A massive, luxurious bed with silk sheets and entirely too many pillows. The room around me screamed wealth with gold-trimmed furniture, thick carpets and windows draped in velvet. This wasn't my room. This wasn't even my pack. "The wedding starts in an ho
Serena's POV The scent hit me before I saw them. Cedarwood and smoke. My mate's scent. I'd know it anywhere even though we'd never met because the Moon Goddess herself had woven it into my soul the moment I turned eighteen three hours ago. But it was twisted. Contaminated with cheap rose perfume
