Watching Grace stand there, flustered and surrounded, I stepped forward, shielding her with my body. "Fine," I said. "I’ll marry her."

Sa inis ni Aura Beatriz Diaz, nakuha niyang makipag-usap sa kaklase at kapitbahay niyang iniiwasan ng lahat. Sa ngalan ng plus points, pinilit niya si Shintaro Terrano na magpalit sila ng points sapagkat ito ang dahilan kung bakit siya na-late sa klase. “Sino naman ang nagsasabi sa iyong ayaw ko ng points? Pasensiya ka na, ‘di ko magagawa iyan...” Sagot ni Shintaro sa kanya. “Pero may ibang paraan ako para makakuha ka nito...” Namangha niya nang namalayan niyang kaya naman palang makipag-usap nito sa mga tao. “Babaguhin natin ang nakaraan.” Sinabi pa nito. Napatigil siya nang hawakan nito ang kamay niya at literal na umikot ang kanyang mundo. Pumikit siya ng mariin at noong sa tingin niya'y tumigil na ang pag-ikot. Nanlaki ang mga mata niya sa nakita. Wala na sila sa paaralan. Nasa waiting shed na sila kung saan sila nag-agawan ng pwesto sa jeep kanina. “P-Paano mo nagawa ito? I-Isa ka bang w-wizard? G-Guardian? Guardian angel?!” Halos pasigaw na tanong niya. Mababaliw na siya. Paano ito nagawa ng isang Shintaro Terrano? Ano nga ba si Shintaro Terrano? Umangat ang gilid ng labi nito. “Akala ko ba matalino ang isang Aura Beatriz Cortes Diaz? Bakit hindi mo napagtagping maaaring isa akong manglalakbay sa kahapon, kasalukuyan at hinaharap… Oo, manlalakbay ako. Kaya kong baguhin ang nangyari na. Itong kaharap mo ngayon ang totoong Shintaro. Ikaw lang ang nakakaalam ng totoong Shintaro Terrano… Ikaw lang ang hahayaan kong makaalam.”

After his fated mate died, Alpha Killian Thorne spent ten years resenting me. I was the Omega healer he never chose—bound to him by duty, not love. A substitute. A scar on a bond neither of us asked for. No matter how deeply I healed his wounds, no matter how quietly I stayed by his side, all he ever said was: “If you really want to please me, Clara… then disappear.” But when death came charging, it wasn’t I who fell. He did. Bleeding out in my arms, Killian looked at me one last time and whispered: “If only I’d never met you…” At the funeral, his mother wept. “He should’ve been with Selena. I never should’ve let him mate with you.” His father’s glare cut through me. “Killian saved you three times. Why wasn’t it you in that grave?” Everyone regretted that he had bonded with me. Even I did, too. I was cast out of the pack with nothing— No title. No Luna severance. No den to call my own. And then… perhaps the Moon Goddess took pity on me. She gave me one final chance to rewrite fate. This time, I won’t beg for his love. This time, I won’t tether him to pain. This time, I’ll sever the bond before it begins. I could already hear the gears of fate turning, and this time, I would move first.

Finding that the moon goddess has given her a second chance mate, nothing could have been better. It was always her dream to have a loving mate. Then one day she experienced a change in her body, something that turned her life upside down. She never knew she was a creature hunters prey on. Her oblivion was the beginning of her calamity. What will happen when her old Alpha tracks her down wanting her back? How will she survive when she realizes that the freedom of the whole werewolf kingdom depends on her?

Five years ago, Aleksandr Volkov, alpha of the Silver Eclipse Pack, tragically lost his mate. Just as he begins to find his way back to "normal" he is blessed with a second chance mate.

Plagued with guilt for what this could do to her children, Rieka resists the bond and avoids Aleksandr. But just when Rieka begins to come around, they are betrayed, and Rieka's worst fears come true as her children are forced to face the possibility of losing her. Can Aleksandr and Rieka overcome UNCERTAINTY and BETRAYAL to rule the pack together? Or will both of them face the ultimate loss? *** I know this novel might have a slightly slower start than some others, but that's why I offer so many free chapters before you have to begin paying to unlock them. Read the reviews written by other readers, it's worth it. *** This is a slow burn romance, so please be prepared. The book is marked completed, however, I did continue Aleksandr and Rieka’s story in another book titled “The Luna’s Family Secret.” My other book “Going Rogue” is the story of Gina (a side character in this book), but can be read independently. Each book has some spoilers for the other because of how the timelines overlap.
