Nagpakasal ako sa lalaking tinatawag na pangit at inutil ng aking pamilya, pero tagapagmana pala at isa sa pinakamayamang tao sa Pilipinas. *** Nakahandang ibenta ni Rosita ang sarili sa mababang halaga, mabayaran lang ang utang ng mga taong itinuring na niyang mga magulang.

Paano kung ang inaakala nilang patay na—magbabalik bilang pinakamayaman at isa sa pinakaguwapong lalaki sa bansa? Titibok na kaya ang puso ni Rosita para sa asawa? Paano kung may ibang babae na pala sa buhay nito? Nakahanda ba siyang ilaban ang pagiging asawa niya—lalo pa't may anak sila?

Right after my bonding ceremony with Alpha Carlo, his first love, Olivia, died unexpectedly. For fifty years after that, I gave everything I had for Carlo and the Shadowmoon pack. We had five pups, and the pack thrived. But then, on the 50th anniversary of me becoming Luna, Carlo dragged me to the Moonlit Platform. He was going to break our mate bond himself. And after he brutally severed it, he drained all my soul power. He said he was going to use an ancient ritual to bring Olivia back to life. And I, the Luna who’d been by his side for half a century, was the perfect vessel. My desperate cries brought our children running, but they just stood behind Carlo, watching me with cold eyes. “Bringing Aunt Olivia back is the only thing Father has wanted for years,” one said. “If you hadn’t been jealous of Aunt Olivia, if you’d used your healing on her, you wouldn’t be our mother!” another spat. The children I’d poured my heart and soul into raising now just wanted me to die. I felt my soul shatter, my heart ache as if pierced by a knife, and then, nothing. I lost consciousness. When I opened my eyes again, I was back. Back to the day of my bonding ceremony with Carlo. In my last life, Carlo chose me, his Head Healer. Olivia, though, was devoured by a venom-fang spider and died from its poison. Her death had nothing to do with me, but Carlo blamed me for all of it. This time, looking into Carlo's eyes, I saw the deep disgust there, and any hope I had left died. He was back too.
