After escaping her adoptive father's creditor, the infamous Sebastian Bernadotte, Isabel Hadid opted to be a surrogate mother to an anonymous billionaire in desperate need of an heir, just to pay up the debt. She conceived a pair of triplets and upon delivery, she maneuvered her way to have one of the children for herself, breaching the contract she'd signed. Eight years later, Isabel has created a new identity for herself and her son, Reynolds. However, fate had other plans for her, when her path crossed with Sebastian Bernadotte again, and she discovered that he was the anonymous billionaire whose son she'd stolen. Seeing the striking resemblance between her son and the sons he'd left at home, Sebastian needed no Sherlock Holmes to deduce Isabel's foul play. "Woman, you've breached our contract by taking my son and now, you'll pay. Either I take back my son and have you pay for infringement, or you accept to be my mistress." Isabel was stuck between losing her son or becoming the mistress of the man she'd once despised.

On my father’s sixtieth birthday, I was overseas, negotiating an energy contract. I deliberately told my wife to throw a huge banquet for him. That day, I watched the mansion’s security footage with a smile. Unexpectedly, I saw my nine adoptive siblings surrounding an unfamiliar old man. That old man wore my dad’s class ring as he happily pulled my wife onto the stage. “Thank you for coming to my birthday banquet. This is my daughter-in-law, the president of the Viapent Group. She’s the absolute best! She spent three million dollars on this banquet! It’s all thanks to my eldest son for finding such a capable wife.” In one corner, my actual father was in tattered clothes, washing dishes with my son. He accidentally splattered some water. One of the guests kicked him in disgust, causing him to cough up blood. The security footage was cut off. How dare these people mistreat my father and son? I called a special number. “I’m putting a stop to the negotiations. My father and son are being abused back home. I am returning to them now.”

Elara lived a life of quiet suffering, an omega within a pack that scorned her as "broken" and treated her as a servant. Her adoptive parents exploited her, and her fated mate, Alpha Valerius, publicly rejected her for the manipulative, silver-tongued Beta, Lyra. But the truth was a venomous lie. On the day of her pack's moon festival, humiliated and cast out, Elara's dormant bloodline awakened. ​Suddenly, four powerful Alpha brothers descended, claiming her as their long-lost sister the true heir to the formidable Obsidian Pack, a lineage thought extinct. The eldest, a stoic and terrifying Alpha, vows vengeance. The second, a brilliant healer, meticulously unwraps the years of neglect and abuse. The third, a master of shadows, begins dismantling Lyra and Valerius carefully constructed deceit. And the fourth, a spirited warrior, teaches Elara to embrace her true, unique wolf, a power far beyond anything her tormentors could comprehend. ​From the ashes of rejection, Elara rises, shedding her past as the weakest omega to become the cherished, formidable Luna-in-waiting. When Alpha Valerius comes crawling back, begging for a second chance, he'll find not the timid girl he cast aside, but a queen guarded by four Alphas, ready to unleash a reckoning that will shake the very foundations of the shifter world.

She wasn’t supposed to exist. And yet… she does. After the death of her adoptive mother—one of the most powerful witches in Sabrah—Aster is cast out of the only family she’s ever known. With nothing but a mysterious trust fund, a secret past, and a promise to become a doctor, she escapes to Santossa City—a glittering metropolis ruled by Lycans and forbidden to vampires. A city where she doesn’t belong. A drunken night shatters her careful plans when she wakes in the bed of Carl Landon—the dangerously magnetic heir to the Lycan Empire. What was meant to be a one-night escape becomes something far more complicated. Carl expected solitude. What he got was her—a stranger whose scent he can't resist, whose presence disrupts his instincts, and whose blood might be tied to a prophecy the Lycans would kill to possess. As their worlds collide, Aster learns the night they shared wasn’t an accident—it was fate. Ancient, powerful, and impossible to deny. But in a world where humans can’t birth supernatural children… Aster shouldn’t even exist. And that makes her the most dangerous secret of all.
