Saat gempa bumi terjadi, suamiku yang merupakan kapten tim penyelamat justru meninggalkanku, lalu terlebih dulu menyelamatkan cinta pertamanya, Cloe Monroe. Aku tidak menghalanginya, membiarkannya pergi begitu saja. Karena di kehidupan sebelumnya, ketika menghadapi pilihan yang sama, suamiku memilih menyelamatkanku yang sedang hamil delapan bulan. Sedangkan Cloe, karena bantuan datang terlambat, malah terkubur di bawah reruntuhan akibat gempa susulan dan meninggal karena sesak napas. Kemudian, di hari aku akan melahirkan, suamiku membawaku ke makam Cloe. Dia memandangku dengan tatapan dingin saat aku terjatuh karena rasa sakit yang luar biasa, mengabaikan permohonan tanpa henti dariku. "Jessica, apa kamu kesakitan? Waktu itu, rasa sakit yang dialami Cloe di bawah reruntuhan seribu kali lebih parah dari ini!" Aku menatap suamiku yang seperti sudah kehilangan akal dengan ekspresi tidak percaya. Pria itu melanjutkan, "Padahal saat gempa, kamu jelas-jelas berada di zona aman! Kalau bukan karena kamu yang memaksa dengan alasan kehamilanmu, bagaimana mungkin momen terbaik untuk menyelamatkan Cloe bisa terlewatkan?" "Aku ingin kamu merasakan sendiri semua penderitaan yang pernah dialami Cloe!" Dia memaksaku berlutut, terus membenturkan kepala di depan foto mendiang cinta pertamanya, membiarkan darah mengalir deras dari tubuhku. Pada akhirnya, aku mengalami pendarahan hebat saat melahirkan, lalu meninggal di ruang persalinan. Saat membuka mata lagi, aku kembali ke hari terjadinya gempa. Kali ini, aku dan anakku tidak akan lagi menggantungkan harapan padanya.

From the start, he already knew Kayden didn’t want him there. Well, Noah felt the same. He hated this entire messed-up situation. If it weren’t for his mother, Noah would have never agreed to live under the same roof as her new family. However, he couldn’t just let her stay alone with a man she’d married after knowing him for six months. What he didn’t expect even more was to end up in his stepbrother’s bed one night, completely lost in the desire to be owned by him, forgetting entirely how much they hated each other. They hated each other, yes, but they also hated how their bodies couldn’t resist each other’s desires, even when they knew it was wrong.

All his power is conditioned and dependent on how close his mate is to him. Melanie is the attention grabbing hybrid Luna from the crescent moon pack, the second most powerful pack in the kingdom and she is mated to Kayden. She is equally strength matched and her magic is the strongest in all the land. She is mated to Kayden and can't wait to be his Luna. But the moon Goddess has other plans for them, and plays their life like a pack of cards, making Kayden dependent on Imani and Melanie burn with jealousy that makes her powers out of control. They all have choices to make that would determine their fate, watch them fight for love and freedom, and destroy everything in the process.
