I'm Melody Cameron and I'm every man’s worst nightmare, I say this because I’ve been called that by many men. I’m not only smart and educated, I’m a real beauty and no I’m not conceited, I have eyes and am confident in my own skin. At the age of 16, I was crushed beyond words, cried until I ran out of tears, then became angry at the world, until finally my best friend told me what had happened. I had been taken, by one of the most popular, eligible and attractive werewolves in her pack, “this is what he does and I’m sorry it happened to you Mel, you didn’t deserve that,” she said through her own tears as she hugged me. It was that day I realized one thing I would never fall for another man, he could own the world and promise it to me, and I’d still walk away from him. Yup, that’s me now, Miss Wrong, I will never be any man’s Miss Wright, never again. I’m strictly a one and done girl here, no seconds, no matter how many times you make me see God, it’s not happening. I became a nurse, yes, it's a glorious job and in a world with supernaturals it has it's challenges, like werewolves can heal themselves, witches have no need for human's period, etc.. So when the Alpha was in my ER room and I hit the code button, because all his monitors screamed to life the second, I walked in, I was fired. Getting the Alpha's attention, not good for a human and now I'm convinced he is set on ruining my life, because his ego is obviously bigger than his dick. I have jokes.

Book 1: At 32 Alpha David finally finds his mate: unfortunately, in a human female, Ariadne. She is completely oblivious to their mate bond and worst of all she is married with three children. Even though he tries to speak to her and find a solution she always refuses to listen. So, David triggered by a scene he witnessed, kidnaps her. On their way back to his territory a terrible accident happens which causes Ariadne to lose her memory. Ariadne struggles so much with the new reality and the emotions she has for David. The attraction she feels for him is so strong that can't be avoided. Will she embrace the unique bond they share or her strong instincts will lead her to walk away from him? ~ Book 2 (16 years after the end of book 1): When her son's wolf appears, Ariadne is forced to return to her once-rejected mate, Alpha David, in order to help him with his first transformation. Despite her hidden emotions, will she give in to their past love, or will she turn her back and leave him once again? Alpha David Nathaniel Fortner is convinced that he will spend his whole life alone after his mate has walked away from him. He had caused her so much pain by taking her from her family, so the self-prison he had gotten himself into was quite enough of a punishment for the rest of his life. But the little spark of hope ignites again when his mate Ariadne returns with their son—a secret heir that he knew nothing about. With their bond flaring back into life and a powerful descendant who is rooting for them, will he now fight for his redemption and the way back to his Luna’s heart, or will he let her go one more time?

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.
