16 year old Scarlet Paine struggles to understand what’s happening to her, as she wakes and realizes she’s becoming a vampire. Alienated from her parents and her friends, the only person she has left to turn to is Sage, the mysterious boy who has quickly become the love of her life. Yet Sage, whose house she finds boarded up, is nowhere to be found.

Scarlet, alone in the world, with nowhere left to turn, seeks out her friends and tries to reconcile with them. All seems to be patched up when they invite her to join them on a trip to an abandoned island in the Hudson—but as things get out of hand and Scarlet’s true powers are revealed, who her friends and enemies are becomes more confusing than ever.

Blake, still interested in her, tries to make amends. He seems sincere, and Scarlet is confused as she has to grapple with whether to be with Blake or to wait for Sage, who is nowhere to be found.

When Scarlet finally finds Sage, they have the most romantic time of her life; yet it is tinged with tragedy, as Sage is dying, with but a few days left to live.

Kyle, meanwhile, turned into the only other vampire left in the world, is on a murderous rampage, seeking Scarlet; Caitlin and Caleb consult with Aiden, and they each embark on different missions—Caleb to stop and kill Kyle, and Caitlin, to the famed Yale University library, to research the ancient relic rumored to both cure and kill vampires for all time.

It is a race against time, and it may be too late. Scarlet is changing rapidly, barely able to control what she’s becoming, and Sage is dying with each passing moment. As the book culminates in an action-packed, shocking twist, Scarlet will be left with a monumental choice—one that will change the world forever. Will Scarlet make the ultimate sacrifice to save Sage’s life? Will she risk everything she has for love?

After two years of marriage, I believed I was living the dream—until the day I gave birth to our long-awaited heir. The house was filled with joy as my husband's family arrived, bearing gifts and ready to bestow a name upon our child, as tradition dictated. But the happiness of the day shattered in an instant when my husband walked in, hand in hand with his childhood sweetheart. In front of everyone, he announced not only our divorce but also his engagement to her, as if I had never mattered. *** "I’m divorcing Stacy," Jason announces, his voice unwavering, "to marry Nicole Cruz, my childhood sweetheart." He points to the woman standing before him who smiles and waves at everyone in the room. My world tilts on its axis. The words echo in my mind, louder and louder until they drown out everything else. What is going on?? "But why?" I whisper, my voice barely audible, even to myself. I'm unable to believe his betrayal. Jason doesn’t even glance at the child in my arms. "Because this has been a long time coming, Stacy. I’ve only stayed this long out of obligation and not love." Important Author’s Note: This is a rewritten version of my book The Alpha’s Betrayal: Reclaiming His Rejected Luna. From Chapter 12 onward, the story takes a new turn with fresh twists and drama.

남편이 교통사고로 세상을 떠난 후, 나는 새벽부터 밤늦게까지 작은 식당을 운영하며 홀로 성재를 키웠다. 그리고 성재의 결혼식 전날, 나는 무심코 산 복권이 무려 16억 원에 당첨되었다. 이젠 고생 끝, 인생을 즐길 거라 다짐한 나는 곧장 식당을 팔고 노후를 준비하려 했다. 그런데 외지에서 일하는 성재에게 전화를 걸어 식당을 팔았다고 전하자마자, 효도심이 깊고 착하던 예비 며느리, 진연수의 태도가 180도 돌변했다. “설마 우리 집에서 함께 사시려는 건 아니겠죠? 저희가 일한 지 겨우 2년밖에 안 됐는데, 어머님까지 부양할 여유는 없어요!” 연수는 성재까지 위협했다. “당신이 우리 돈으로 당신 어머니를 부양하려고 하면, 결혼 생활도 끝일 줄 알아요!” 그 말에 화가 난 성재는 수연과 크게 싸운 후, 곧바로 나를 위로해 주었다. “엄마, 그동안 정말 고생하셨잖아요. 이제는 쉬셔야 해요. 앞으로는 제가 모실게요.” 나는 그런 성재에게 매우 감동했고, 사업 자금을 위해 4억 원을 더 줄 계획이었다. 그런데 다음 날, 성재가 큰 사고를 당해 1억 원이 급히 필요하다는 전화를 받았다. 나는 곧바로 돈을 송금했지만, 그 후로 성재와 완전히 연락이 끊겼다. 불안에 휩싸인 나는 태풍이 휘몰아치는 날씨에도 성재가 있는 도시로 향했다. 그리고 마침내 성재를 찾았을 때, 성재는 호텔에서 결혼식을 올리며 고인이 된 남편의 첫사랑을 향해 차를 올리며 어머니라 부르며 절하고 있었다. 더욱 놀라운 건 성재 옆에는 십 년 전에 사고로 죽었다고 믿었던 내 남편이 앉아 있었다.

10 years have passed and she got everything, so they said. A face that no one could ever deny its beauty, a body that makes men go crazy and a successful career in the legal profession. She has it all, except him- the man she so dearly loved but has to let go of for her to get all these things she has now. Cattaleya Rillera really thought then that it would be worth it. Afterall, she was only 17 at that time when an elderly couple chose her to be their adoptee. Hindi niya inakalang may magkakagustong ampunin pa siya dahil sa edad niya. When she reached the age of 16, hindi na siya nangarap pang may magkakainteres sa kaniyang maging parte ng kanilang pamilya dahil isang taon na lamang ay aalis na siya ng bahay-ampunan dahil magiging isang ganap na siyang maygulang. At ngayong may gusto siyang ampunin, hindi niya papalampasin. This is all she ever wanted. Lahat naman sila doon sa bahay-ampunan. Thus, she consented to such an adoption even if she would have to break her promise to the boy she loves- Caleb Sanchez- the boy she promised to marry when she left the orphanage. Isa ding orphan na naunang umalis ng orphanage dahil mas matanda ito sa kanya ng 2 years. Ang taong nangakong magsisikap para makapag-ipon at paghandaan ang kanilang pagsasama sa oras na umalis siya sa bahay-ampunan. Now that she has finally achieved the success of her chosen career, she thinks it's time to locate him. And if she succeeded, she could only pray that he was still single and that he would find it in his heart to forgive her.
