"If we ever cross paths again, I won’t let you go." Those were his last words to her, a promise that haunted her every night.

Ketika ayahku menyuruhku untuk memilih calon suami dari kakak beradik Keluarga Lukarta, yang juga merupakan teman masa kecilku, aku memilih Levi Lukarta. Alasannya hanya karena dia adalah pria yang diam-diam kucintai selama 13 tahun. Namun, pada hari pernikahan kami, adik tiri Levi melompat dari atap hotel. Dia meninggalkan surat yang ditulis dengan darah. Isinya adalah mendoakan aku dan Levi memiliki pernikahan yang penuh cinta dan kebahagiaan. Pada saat ini, aku baru tahu bahwa mereka telah saling mencintai secara diam-diam selama bertahun-tahun. Di resepsi pernikahan, Levi langsung kehilangan kendali diri. Dia mengumumkan bahwa dirinya akan memutuskan hubungan dengan dunia luar, lalu meninggalkanku berdiri di sana tanpa daya. Sejak saat itu, dia menghabiskan hidupnya menemani pelita abadi adik tirinya untuk menebus dosanya. Aku membencinya karena telah menipuku, tetapi masih berpegang teguh pada pernikahan ini sehingga kami saling menyiksa. Sampai kami diculik, demi menyelamatkanku, dia mati bersama penculik. Sebelum meninggal, dia menatapku dan berkata, "Shannon, aku yang salah karena sudah sembunyikan hal itu darimu. Tapi, nyawaku dan nyawa adikku sudah cukup untuk menebusnya, 'kan? Di kehidupan selanjutnya, ingatlah untuk jangan memilihku." Ketika membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari ketika ayahku menyuruhku memilih tunangan. Kali ini, aku dengan tegas memilih kakak laki-lakinya, Liam Lukarta.

I am the long-lost true heir of the Kensington family. In just the second month after reconciling with the Kensington family, I solved a technical problem that the Kensington Corp's Military Research Institute had failed to crack for five whole years. Yet, my adoptive brother, Sean Kensington, the fake heir, exchanged my patent bonus worth millions for a 20-percent-off coupon for a cup of latte. I went to my older sister, Sonya, the CEO, but she simply waved her hand dismissively, completely unconcerned. "Enough, Wesley. Sean just did it for your own good. If you're holding onto that much money, what if some organization set their eyes on you? This way, your safety is protected. "Besides, you've only come to the city not long ago. I doubt you've ever had something like a latte before. Take it as a chance to experience it. I'll even give you another ten dollars. You can buy yourself another cup." I looked at the condescension in her eyes, planning to send the recording to our parents. Yet, I saw on their social media that they had just bought a seaside mansion and a luxury car as a celebration gift for Sean's achievements. Then, I glanced at the coupon they had just sent me. [You did help Sean after all. Your father and I bought you a cake as a reward. Go pick it up yourself.] I checked the price. After discount, it was a mere 13 bucks. They had to be kidding me. I directly dialed the number of Kensington Corp's rival company, Jet Group. "I think the exclusive patent for this new missile should be yours. From now on, all my research results will only be shared with Jet Group."

Siobhan Williams has always been a smart woman, graduated early from high school and excelled in her college career. She went into the FBI at an early age and is one of the youngest agents in her Unit. Working in the crimes against children division of the BAU, the FBI is brought in when the number of kidnappings reaches an alarming number; 13 children over the course of two months. These kidnappings are occurring in her home state of California, where she hasn't gone back to her home and pack for almost a decade, but now she and her partner volunteer to head the investigation for these disappearances. Along with a few other agents—another wolf shifter, a bear shifter, a Fae, and a vampire—they head straight into a battle between the Gods and Goddesses. With enough on her plate, the last thing she needs is a mate hovering around her and getting into her business. Tiernan Hathaway has been Alpha of his pack for the last 9 years, and has yet to meet his mate though he remembers having a pull to the old Beta's second eldest daughter, Siobhan. It's been almost a decade since he had last seen her and she only ever calls her family, never coming home. This will change when children have begun to go missing at alarming rates, most of them being children of the supernatural community. He is in for a surprise when the FBI comes knocking on his door, about the missing children. A battle is brewing between the God and Goddess of the Underworld: Arawn and Scàthach. It's classic good vs evil with a twist of the dead, undead, and the living. Are the missing children a part of a greater, but evil plan in this war? Or is it just coincidence?
