Caitlin and Caleb awake in ancient Israel, in the year 33 A.D., and are amazed to find themselves in the time of Christ.

Ancient Israel is a place of holy sites, of ancient synagogues, of lost relics. It is the most spiritually charged place in the universe—and in 33 A.D., the year of Christ’s crucifixion, it is the most spiritually charged time. In the heart of its capitol, Jerusalem, lies the Holy Temple of Solomon, inside of which sits the Holy of Holies and the Ark of God. And in these streets, Christ will take his final steps to be crucified.

Jerusalem teems with people of all religious backgrounds and faiths, under the watchful eye of Roman soldiers, and their Prefect, Pontius Pilate. The city also has a dark side, with its labyrinthian streets and maze of alleyways leading to hidden secrets and Pagan temples.

Caitlin now, finally, has all four keys, but still, she must find her father. Her search takes her to Nazareth, to Capernaum, to Jerusalem, following a mystical trail of secrets and clues in the footsteps of Christ. It also takes her to the ancient Mount of Olives, to Aiden and his coven, and to more powerful secrets and relics than she’s ever known. At every turn, her father is just a step away.

But time is of the essence: Sam, turned to the dark side, has landed back in this time, too, and as he unites with Rexius, leader of the evil coven, they race to beat Caitlin to the Shield. Rexius will stop at nothing to destroy Caitlin and Caleb, and with Sam on his side, and a new army behind him, the odds are in his favor.

Making matters worse, Scarlet arrives back in time alone, separated from her parents. She roams the streets of Jerusalem on her own, with Ruth, and as she begins to discover her own powers, she also finds herself in graver danger than she’s ever been. Especially when she discovers that she is holding a great secret, too.

Matapos mag-graduate ng socialite training course, ang aking kapatid na babae ay nanumpa na magpakasal sa isang mayamang pamilya. Upang lumikha ng mga pagtatagpo kay Pierce Holden, ang prinsipe ng mga socialite, ang kapatid ko ang nagmaneho ng aking kotse, na gustong i-tailgate si Pierce at bumunggo sa sasakyan nito. Tinapakan ko ang preno at sinabi sa kapatid ko na hindi tanga ang mga Holden. Hindi namin kayang bayaran ang sasakyan ni Pierce, kahit na isuko namin ang lahat ng mayroon kami. Pagkatapos, nagkaroon si Pierce ng isang marangyang kasal na ikinagulat ng bansa. Nababaliw na ang kapatid ko sa selos, sinabing siya na sana ang bride kung hindi dahil sa pagpigil ko sa kanya noon. Dahil sa sama ng loob, binunggo niya ang kanyang sasakyan sa akin at pinatay ako. Nang muli kong imulat ang aking mga mata, nakita ko ang aking sarili sa front passenger seat. Kumpiyansa na ngumiti si ang kapatid ko, napako ang tingin niya sa mamahaling sasakyan sa harapan namin. "Sigurado akong mabibighani sa akin si Pierce kapag nakita niya ako. Hindi ko na kailangan magmaneho ng isang basura na ganito kapag nakasama ko na siya." Ngayon naman, hindi ko na siya pinigilan. Tinapakan niya ng madiin ang pedal ng gas, na naging sanhi ng pagbangga ng kotse laban sa sports car na may presyo na napakalaking halaga ng pera.

Evonne Shannon was a poor student mother sponsored. She was also the crush I had been courting for a long time. Wanting to allow her to shine, I gave up my place in the piano competition for her. However, she glared at me with disdain for deciding this on my own. She then instantly turned around and handed the registration form to her boyfriend, Angelo Zambrano, and said, "Ange, only you deserve this competition." Evonne liked sports cars, so I begged my mother to buy her a limited-edition McLaren supercar. But in return, Evonne mocked me and called me shallow. "Don't think I'll accept you just because I'm accepting the car, Chase Shannon. You've never understood me." With my help, Evonne got to put on a facade of a mysterious billionaire's daughter. But the moment she got money from me, she turned around and went on a romantic getaway with Angelo. I thought of Evonne as my everything and even asked my mother to arrange for her to join the family company. Within half a year, she was promoted to a core team member. She then conspired with Angelo to drain the company dry and even forced me to my death. "What else can you do besides insult me with money and a materialistic lifestyle, Chase? You're the most disgusting obstacle on my path to success. Only when you're dead can I marry Ange," she declared. I was heartbroken when I heard this, and that was when Evonne pushed me off the sidewalk and into traffic. Immediately after that incident, I was reincarnated to the day I bought Evonne a piano. She was glaring at me with disdain. "If you don't want to buy it, just say so. There's no need to humiliate me like this." I let out a dismissive scoff. "Am I the one who's humiliating you, or are you the shameless one? You beg for food but complain that it's cold. You're worse than those stray dogs on the streets. At least they show gratitude after getting scraps."

Everyone knew Elio Carbone, Don of the Carbone family, was a cold-hearted womanizer. He had one rule: never sleep with the same woman twice. But for me, he broke it. The first day after our breakup, he stood outside the old Bianchi estate for a day and a night, his entire security detail in tow, just to win me back. The second day, he flew to Sicily and bought the deed to my family's ancestral estate at auction for triple its value, and had it delivered to me. The third day, he tattooed my favorite flower, the lily, over his heart. The tattoo artist said he refused any anesthetic and didn't make a sound. Later, at a banquet for the Five Families, in front of all the other Dons, he sliced his palm and made a blood oath. He swore loyalty only to Eleonora Bianchi for the rest of his life; if he broke his vow, he would pay with his life. After a year of his relentless pursuit, his devotion finally wore me down, and I agreed to take him back. I truly believed him then. That Elio truly loved me. Until one night. He took me to an underground racetrack to broker a deal with an ally. But in the roaring crowd, I saw a girl, trembling and crying, her clothes in tatters. Ava was shoved to the starting line. She was the wager for the death race. One look was all it took for Elio's face to darken. The next second, he dropped his hand from my waist and, without a word, walked toward the track entrance. I stood frozen, watching his back as he disappeared into the driver's seat of a modified sports car. I used to wake up crying, terrified he would lose his life in one of these reckless races. He had smashed his trophies, burned his marker for the illegal track, and sworn to God he would never again enter such a life-or-death gamble. My hand drifted to my stomach, covering the secret I hadn't yet had the chance to share. His blood oath was broken. And so was I.

Anim na buwan. Iyon lang ang ibinigay na panahon ng tiyahin ni Elainne para makapag-asawa siya ng isang Imperial -ang pinakamayamang angkan sa Pilipinas. Pumayag siya dahil alam niyang suntok sa buwan na mangyari iyon dahil isa lamang siyang hawak na squatter girl. Kung mabibigo raw kasi siyang makapangasawa ng isang Imperial ay papayagan na siya ng tiyahin na pumasok sa kumbento at magmadre. Ang lahat ay umaayon sa plano ni Elainne not until Lucas Imperial enter the picture. Disaster ang unang pagkikita nila dahil aksidente niyang natapunan ng pintura ang bago at magarang sports car nito. Kahit isangla niya ang buhay niya ay hindi niya mababayaran ang halagang hinihingi nitong kabayaran sa “perwisyong” idinulot niya sa kotse nito. Tinakot pa siya nito na ipapapulis kung hindi niya magagawang bayaran ang kalahating milyong hinihingi nito sa kanya. “Be my wife, then,” kaswal na tanong ng kumag ng aminin niyang hindi niya mababayaran ang halagang hinihingi nito. “Be my wife, your face!” tigas na tanggi niya. Hinding-hindi siya papayag sa alok ng lalaki dahil una, wala siyang balak na maging asawa ng isang hambog, playboy at walang-direksiyong lalaki. Ikalawa, paano na lang ang pangarap niyang madre? Pero hinalikan siya ng kumag sa harapan ng kumbento at ipinagsigawan sa buong universe na asawa siya nito. Ang ending, itinakda ang kasal nila. Desidido si Elainne na gawin ang lahat para mapawalang-bisa ang kasal nila pero mas desidido yata si Lucas na gawin ang lahat para mapaibig siya. Hanggang nangyari ang kinatatakutan ni Elainne, nahulog siya sa lalaki...ng very hard. At kung kailan handa na siyang gampanan ang pagiging ulirang asawa sa lalaki ay saka naman ito naghamon ng hiwalayan...

I was the daughter of the Ashford Pack Alpha — the most beautiful she-wolf in the entire southern territory. Alphas lined up to pursue me, and I couldn't be bothered to give any of them a second glance. Until my best friend dared me: "Sera, I've got a bet for you. Think you can make my brother Kieran fall for you? Win, and I'll give you my mother's healing moonstone necklace. Lose, and you hand over that limited-edition sports car you love so much." Countless beautiful she-wolves had tried to get into his bed. Every last one of them had been turned away cold. The very first night after I took the bet, I saved Kieran from a silver poisoning, and spent the rest of that night tangled up with him while he burned through his heat. For the two years that followed, he grew more and more obsessed with me. On the long conference table in the pack meeting room, he pinned me down against the papers. In every room of his private estate, we left traces of ourselves behind. I gradually fell in love with him during countless intimate moments. Until the night only to overhear his conversation with the pack elder. "Alpha, it's time to announce who will be Luna." The Elder's voice was low and deliberate. "Miss Seraphina has been by your side for two years now. According to pack tradition—" "Enough." Kieran cut him off. "She and I were just having fun." The Elder was quiet for a moment. "And your first love? When you two separated, she asked for two years apart to try other partners. Those two years are up now. Isn't it time for her to come back?" "Yes." Warmth finally crept into Kieran's voice. "It's time for her to come back." That was when I realized — his so-called true love was my half-sister. The person I hated most in the world. For two years, I had been just his experiment while he "tried someone else". I turned and walked away without a second thought. But this powerful Alpha went mad — tearing through the entire wolf world searching for me.

Alexander Romano. Istrikto, dominante, at walang puso. Sa kabila ng ilan sa mga negative na ugali nito, marami padin ang nahuhumaling sa lalaki. Bakit ba naman hindi, bukod sa pagiging panganay na anak at taga pag mana ng Romano Corp. (isa sa pinaka malaki at kilalang kumpanya sa bansa), si Alexander ay marami na ding napatunayan sa sarili niya. Graduate ng Magna Cum Laude sa kursong BS Management Engineering at nakakuha ng maraming awards sa iba't ibang sports ng University na pinasukan, tulad ng swimming, lawn tennis at marami pang iba. May tangkad na 5'11, makakapal na kilay, mga matang kulay kape na tagos hanggang kaluluwa kung tumingin, ilong na makipot at matangos, at mga labing maninipis na ni minsan ata ay hindi dinapuan ng ngiti ngunit lalong bumagay sa pangahan nitong muka na nagbibigay ng 'mysterious' effect sa pagkatao nito. Maraming kababaihan ang nahuhumaling dito at inggit naman sa kalalakihan. Mga bagay na hindi alintana ng binata ngunit wala naman siyang pakielam sa mga opinyon at nararamdaman nito. Namumukod tanging si Jessica Pantaleon lang ang nakakakausap ng maayos dito bukod sa pamilya niya. Si Jessica ang kababata at bestfriend na din ni Alexander. Alam nito lahat ng pinagdaanan ng binata sa unang babaeng minahal na si Mara, kaya siya lang din ang nakakaintindi sa binata. Boyish pero maganda at sexy si Jessica. Natural na straight at itim ang kanyang buhok na hanggang bewang. Bagay sa balingkinitan na katawan, morenang kutis at 5'6 na height niya. NBSB siya at hindi din nagpakita ng interes sa mga nagtangkang manligaw dito. Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, nagising nalang si Jessica sa tabi ni Alexander. Pareho silang walang suot na damit. Paano nalang ang mangyayari sa kanila lalo na ngayong bumalik na si Mara sa buhay ni Alexander?
