Awakened: A

Isa lang ang gusto ni Aryen Romero sa buhay niya at iyon ay ang makapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Ulilang lubos mula pagkabata at nakuntento sa puder ng mapanglait at mapanakit niyang tiya. Papasok siya bilang isang katulong sa isa sa pinakamayamang pamilya sa Laveda. Sa sobrang yaman ng mga ito ay kahit sino sa bayan nila ay nangangarap na mapabilang sa pamilya Lizares, at isa na ang Tita niya. Her Aunt's thirst for wealth awakened when she knew about her work. Inutusan siya nitong akitin ang tagapagmana ng mga Lizares at kung hindi niya iyon gagawin ay palalayasin siya ito at hahayaang tumira sa kalsada. Hindi totoo ang mga diyos sa mitolohiya pero mukhang naisasabuhay ito ni Armiel Frederick Lizares. At talaga nga namang sobrang imposible na maaakit niya ito dahil sa kasamaan ng ugali na parang ang tingin sa lahat ng mga mahihirap ay mukhang pera. But as she know him well, she discovered something deep in him behind his rich face, and lifestyle. Sa sandaling panahon ay nagawa niyang ibigay ang lahat-lahat sa binata. Pero hindi kailanman pabor sa kanya ang tadhana. Nalaman ni Armiel ang plano ng Tita niya at lubos itong nagalit na pinagtabuyan siya na nagpadurog sa kanya ng husto. Nang lumayo siya sa binata ay nalaman niyang dinadala niya ang bunga ng isang gabing mainit nilang pinagsaluhan. At kahit anong hirap ang hinarap niya dahil doon ay determinado siyang huwag ipaalam dito ang tungkol sa anak. Pero talagang mapaglaro ang tadhana. Gaano man niya itago ang anak ay lalabas at lalabas pa rin ang katotohanan. Paano niya haharapin ang galit nito sa ginawa niyang pagtago sa anak nila? Will he believe that she's not after his wealth? Will the chain of love between them could hold them two together again—or not?

Lara White transmigrated during her freshman year. From that moment on, she had only one goal: become an esper, no matter the cost. Five relentless years in the interstellar era later, the universe finally paid her back. She matched with nine extraordinary prodigies. Unfortunately, these nine prodigies were either trying to unbind the match, pretending she did not exist, or actively scheming to drain her wallet dry. Match One, the interstellar wealth titan, sent her a message. [Matriarch, all my star credits were stolen by scammers. I don’t even have travel money to see you. Could you spare a little?] Match Two, the heir of the third-largest family on the Central Star, texted her. [I already have a female I like. I can’t be with you. Please terminate the bond.] Match Three, lord of the Three Major Domains, texted. [Females will only slow down my conquest of the interstellar realm!] Match Four, the world-weary leader of the Snow Domain, had something else to say. [Matriarch, kill me, and I will belong to you.] Match Five, a prodigy from the succubus race, was even stranger. [Matriarch, let me devour you, and we can be together forever.] As for the rest, they looked as if they had died inside the list. They were as silent as sleeping corpses. Lara notified the photon computer. [Unbind them all. Every single one. Let them bid their farewells. The next nine will be better behaved.] Later, the wealth titan texted her. [Matriarch, all my star credits are yours. I beg you, don’t unbind me!] The heir texted. [Matriarch, I realized it only now. The one I have always liked is you.] Domain Ruler knelt before her and said, “The entire interstellar realm cannot compare to you. Please choose me…” The Snow Domain’s Heir texted her. [You are my only reason to keep living.]

I'd had a crush on my brother's best friend, Ethan—the most powerful Alpha of our Northern Territory—since I was twelve years old. When I was fifteen, I boldly confessed my feelings to him. He laughed and patted my head, casually promising, "When you turn eighteen and shift, if you're my mate, I'll mark you." That offhand promise became my greatest hope for three years. I spent every day waiting for my wolf to awaken, praying to the Moon Goddess that she would designate us as mates. But on the night of my eighteenth birthday, after my wolf first awakened, I was shocked to discover that Ethan truly was my mate! Ignoring the intense shifting pain coursing through my body, I immediately shifted into my wolf form and ran toward Ethan's training grounds. I clutched the gift I'd prepared long ago, but instead heard Ethan urgently confessing to his Omega assistant Victoria: "Who would be stupid enough to actually care about a true mate? The bond between her and me is just the Moon Goddess's mistake. I only love you. I'll only mark you as my Luna." The words hit me like silver bullets to the chest. My wolf whimpered in pain, the mate bond burning like acid in my veins. I stood frozen behind the trees, watching the man I'd loved for six years dismiss our sacred connection as if it meant nothing. Later, Ethan introduced Victoria as his "fiancée." When Victoria demanded that I publicly bless their marking ceremony, Ethan remained completely indifferent to my humiliation. "Sylvia should give us her blessing," Victoria announced at the pack meeting, her voice sweet as poison. "After all, she's been like a little sister to Ethan all these years." Every wolf in the room could smell my distress. But Ethan said nothing, refusing to even look at me. When rogue wolves attacked our territory and I was surrounded, Ethan didn't hesitate to scoop up Victoria—who had only a tiny scratch on her finger—and carry her away to find the pack healer. He left me bleeding and alone, silver claws ha
