Amelia Shepherd

Tahimik at simple lamang ang buhay ni Analeia at ng kanyang ina na naninirahan sa syudad kahit isa lamang siyang secretary sa isa sa pinaka-maimpluwensyang kompanya sa bansa, ang Moreau Corporation. Ngunit ang payak niyang buhay ay panandalian lamang nang isang araw ay may ipinakilalang lalaki ang kanyang ina, at inaaya na ito ng kasal. Tutol man si Analeia ay gusto niya pa ring pagbigyan ang ina dahil na rin sa maaga itong nabyuda at nangungulila sa makakasama sa buhay. Hindi makapaniwala si Analeia nang malaman niya sa mismong araw ng engagement party ng kanyang ina at nobyo nito na magiging stepbrother niya ang mabagsik nilang CEO na si Eros Freniere ng Moreau Corporation. Ano na lamang ang kanyang gagawin sa oras na malaman niya na ang kanyang ina ang dahilan kung bakit nasira ang pamilya ni Eros at kung bakit ito mabagsik sa kanilang dalawa? Walang kamalay-malay si Analeia na matagal na siyang pinapasundan ni Eros simula pa lamang. Kaya nakabuo ito ng plano upang maipaghiganti ang pamilya niyang nasira. Will Analeia sabotage the relationship of her mother and Eros’ father para lamang lumaya sa kasalang nagawa ng kanyang ina sa mga Freniere? Or will she fight her love for Eros kahit na ang pag-asa na mahalin siya pabalik nito ay isang suntok lamang sa buwan? Will Eros be able to forgive Amelia Cervantes and show his real feelings to Analeia or will they both bleed their own hearts?

BLURB: I am Melissa Copper, chosen by the moon goddess as the fated mate of the Alpha triplets. I have always dreamt of being their mate but they cruelly discarded me, choosing my Twin sister Amelia over me at the Alphas coronation ceremony. They have always belonged to her. They despised me, that I know, I have always seen it in their eyes but the mate bond keeps drawing me closer to them. Now, I have decided to leave, to end the whole circus. I begged them to reject me, but they wouldn't do it. They wouldn't let me go… **** “Melissa, Please come back to us!" They all echoed in unison. “We want you…we have always wanted you!” Caleb said softly, his voice trailing off his breath, as he pinned me to the wall. I kept staring at his enticing lips, but I shook my head to get rid of the desires burning within me. “We promise to treat you right!” Cypril said, his breath warm and ticklish against my fingers that he brought up to his lips, as his other hand found its way to the warm spot between my thighs. I clenched my legs together, trying to force out his hands from my thighs but he didn't budge. “You will always be ours. Just come back already!" Cain pleading eyes met mine, as he leaned in pressing a kiss on my lips, his hands tracing the corner of my ear. “No." I said, my voice louder than I had expected it to be, especially with their bodies pressed against mine and their lips creating sparks across my body. “I am not coming back…go back to Amelia.”

Shantali Mae Cross, a security guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Ancient Arts, encounters an impossible phenomenon during her night shift—smoke from the heating vents coalesces into the form of a cobra near ancient Egyptian canopic jars, showing her visions of possible futures. She sees herself accepting a promotion, arguing with a dark-haired man in a hospital, wearing a wedding dress, and standing at a graveside in autumn. Shaken by the experience, Shantali becomes obsessed with understanding what she witnessed, diving into research about serpent smoke divination practices. Her investigation reveals that others throughout history have experienced similar visions at crucial crossroads in their lives, but those who became consumed with interpreting and controlling their prophetic glimpses inevitably destroyed the very relationships and opportunities the visions had shown them. As Shantali spirals deeper into her research, she begins shutting out her boyfriend David, a fellow security guard who loves her deeply. When David witnesses the cobra phenomenon himself, he helps ground her in reality rather than obsession. Through her studies, particularly the warnings left by Dr. Amelia Thorne—a researcher who died alone after chasing similar mysteries—Shantali realizes the cobra's true message: choose love over fear, presence over obsession. The visions weren't warnings of tragedy but glimpses of a life fully lived with all its ordinary struggles and profound connections. When David proposes, Shantali chooses their real relationship over her pursuit of supernatural answers. She completes her research by writing a fictional novel about her experience, transforming obsession into art while helping future cobra witnesses understand that some mysteries are meant to guide rather than be solved. The story explores themes of choice versus destiny, the danger of sacrificing present love for future certainty, and the wisdom of embracing life's uncertainties alongside those who love us.
