After being missing for eighteen years, I was finally found by my wealthy birth parents. The impostor—the young man who had taken my place all this time—dropped to his knees, sobbing. "Goodbye, Mom and Dad. Thank you for raising me. Now that Jason is back, this family doesn't need me anymore." My parents hugged him with heartbreaking tenderness. "Don't be ridiculous," they said. "You're our only real son." Even my fiancée confessed her love to him. "I don't care who you really are. You're the only one I love." They all orbited around him, like planets around the sun. When I was nearly killed in a car accident, they were too busy throwing a birthday party for his dog. So I packed my things in silence. Without a word, I accepted an invitation from the space agency to join a five-year satellite research mission in complete isolation. Yet after I left, it was like the whole family lost their minds. They scoured the entire country, desperate to find any trace of me.

Six years ago, Victoria Valenzuela disappeared without a word, leaving behind the only man she had ever loved. To the world, she was a gold digger who walked away from a billionaire. To Maximo Monteverde, she was the woman who shattered his heart. What he never knew was that Victoria left carrying his child. Now a single mother, Victoria has spent years protecting her son from the powerful Monteverde family, believing that staying hidden was the only way to keep him safe. But fate has other plans. When eight-year-old Lucas unknowingly crosses paths with Maximo, an unexplainable bond begins to form between them. The billionaire finds himself drawn to the boy with silver hair and piercing blue eyes, unaware that the child carries his blood—and his name. As buried secrets resurface, old enemies return, and the truth behind Victoria's disappearance is finally exposed, Maximo must decide whether he is willing to fight for the family he never knew existed... before he loses them forever. Some promises are forgotten. Some loves never fade. And some sons are never truly forgotten.

My younger sister and I were born twins, yet from the very beginning, our parents had zero fondness for me. My sister was the family's good-luck charm, while I was hailed as the harbinger of misfortune. I was blamed for every calamity, while she got all the credit for every blessing. Even after my death, I heard them say, "If we had abandoned her at birth, or even ended her life then, none of this would have happened." I had once tried desperately to win their approval, only to be met with cold indifference. When I finally secured a coveted civil service post, they celebrated me for the first time in my life. I naively believed that I had been acknowledged at last. But then, they said, "Give your job to your sister. She needs it more." At that moment, something inside me completely died. I tried so hard to cling to the hard-won proof that I was not the family's misfortune, yet even that slipped through my grasp. In the end, I lost everything, even the life they had never once cherished.

Story Description: The Forgotten Luna For three years, Evelyn lived as a ghost within the walls of the Silvercrest Pack. As the unmated, human-born wife of Alpha Julian, she was meant to be protected; instead, she was systematically erased. While Julian led his pack with ruthless efficiency, Evelyn was relegated to the shadows, her presence ignored by the warriors and mocked by the high-ranking wolves. She was the "accidental Luna"—a title spoken only in whispers, a placeholder until Julian’s true fated mate finally emerged. The fragile peace of her quiet endurance shatters when Julian’s true mate, a powerful and ambitious high-born werewolf named Cynthia, returns to the territory. Expected to step down quietly and accept her exile, Evelyn decides she is done playing the victim. She vanishes into the night before the pack can formally cast her out, leaving behind a blank ring and a pack dynamic thrown into sudden, unexpected chaos. But a human surviving alone in a world governed by apex predators cannot remain hidden for long. When Evelyn’s path crosses with a rogue faction that isn't quite what it seems, she discovers secrets about her own lineage that rewrite the laws of the wolf kingdom. Meanwhile, back at Silvercrest, Julian finds that breaking a bond—even an artificial one—leaves a wound that refuses to heal, especially when he realizes the human he forgot was the only anchor keeping his inner beast sane.

After waking up from a car accident, I realize that I've lost some of my memories. My wife, Samantha Ross, embraces me immediately and says in a choked-up tone, "The doctor said that you've hurt your manhood in the accident. You… might not be able to perform in the bedroom anymore." My father-in-law, Edmund Ross, sighs heavily as well. He tells me that even if I can't get Samantha pregnant anymore, I will always be the only son-in-law who's married into the Ross family. Everyone compliments me on marrying into a wonderful family. After all, Samantha refuses to abandon me, and Edmund completely understands my situation. But I know for a fact that my kidneys aren't busted at all. Also, I already had a son with Samantha a long time ago. The thing is, where on earth is that child now?
