Limang taon na ang lumipas nang durugin ni Elly Panganiban ang puso ni Carl Montesantos at lisanin ang billionaire world nito. Ginawa niya ito upang protektahan si Carl, kapalit ng isang lihim: ang kanilang kambal na anak, sina Liam at Lia—ang lihim na bunga ng pag-ibig na kailangan niyang itanggi. Ngayon, napilitan si Elly na magtrabaho sa Montesantos Holdings, ang imperyo ng kanyang Billionaire Ex na si Carl. Ang pag-ibig ay napalitan ng matinding pagkamuhi at paghihiganti. Araw-araw, sinisiguro ni Carl na maramdaman ni Elly ang pait ng pag-iwan, tinatawag siyang "walang-kwenta" at "basura" sa trabaho. Mas lumala ang sitwasyon sa presensya ni Sharon Montemayor, ang fiancée ni Carl, at ni Theo Ramos, na nagpaalab ng selos sa Bilyonaryo. Sa gitna ng tensyon, nagbigay ng walang-awang kasinungalingan si Elly: "patay na" ang ama ng kambal. Ngunit ang lahat ng galit at paghihiganti ni Carl ay guguho sa isang iglap! Sa Lobby ng kumpanya, nakita ni Carl ang kanyang anak na si Liam. Ang bata, na eksaktong kopya niya at may matatalim na asul na mata, ay sumigaw ng katotohanan: Siya ang ama! Hindi siya namatay! Dinoble ang kanyang pamilya! Ang mga mata ni Carl ay biglang nagbago, mula sa poot tungo sa pag-angkin at walang-sawang possessiveness! Simula na ng giyera! Paano itatago ni Elly ang lihim kung ang Bilyonaryong Ex, na ngayo'y nag-aapoy sa galit, ay handa nang angkinin ang kanyang dugo at lahi?!

'The old way should never die'. That was the one thing that the ruthless Tyler Black, Alpha of the Black Shadow Pack believes in. He is adamant about the ranking system of the werewolf world. Alpha, Beta and Omega. He treats those that was beneath him like dirt under his shoe, the Omegas especially. But, as it would turn out, fate could be a fickle thing and she decided to play a little game where Tyler found himself in some sort of pickle. He had an Omega mate. 'The old way is wrong and should be erased' Nina June, One of the two Omegas in the Black Shadow Pack does her best to ignore the rule and make the rule makers see her reason, but the more rules she broke, the more she gets punished. With her head held high, she took everything thing, the pain, the insults, until she could not anymore. Two wolves, individuals with different perspective of things, with fate in the mix, there was little they could do to escape. They had to live with what they have been chosen for, the ups and downs, most importantly, the guilt, and above all else, the love.

A cunning, underhanded plan was to act and be Kelly Raevan Entera, a known daughter of a prominent family and happens to be Atty. Hideo Christian Lacson's wife. But as Acy tries to duplicate Kelly's personal qualities, instead of achieving only about her mission, she discovers beyond her expectations. An unfathomable side of its caliginous intent beneath the shadow of companion. Now, she found her real self, yet, lost amids the dark street of doubt and confusion. In between havoc, her only choice is to live in someone's name and character, even though it means robbing someone's life. She needs to do it or else, she will die.

Aria Thorne was born into a pack that treated her like dirt beneath their paws. Born as a StillBlood, she was mocked, beaten, and branded "broken." Her only chance at escape? A forced marriage to a fallen Alpha whose scars ran deeper than flesh. Lucien Vine was once a man of legend. A ruthless warrior. A king among Alphas. Now he’s a shadow, crippled and discarded by the very pack he once led and bled for. Lucien saw nothing but another chain when the new alpha forced him to wed a StillBlood. She was nothing more than one more curse. However, fate has a perverse sense of humor. Because the Broken Luna possesses a hidden ability that she is unaware of, and the only person who might be able to awaken it is the Crippled Alpha. Will they ruin one another? Or rise together and set the world on fire?

Ten years ago, Rayden’s family was mercilessly slaughtered. He was left for dead, a mere shadow of a once-respected clan. In the eyes of the world, Rayden was gone. But in the darkness, he grew. Honing forbidden arts. Nurturing an unquenchable rage. Now, Rayden returns. Not as an heir, not as a hero. But as a sinner. A cultivator who has chosen a forbidden path for one reason—revenge. Beneath the veil of the modern world, cultivator clans hide their secrets, their artifacts, and their power. The Bramasta family, seemingly clean on the surface, is his first target. But the deeper Rayden infiltrates, the larger the web he uncovers, including a name that has haunted his every waking moment—Lucien Dorne. Every step Rayden takes will challenge the laws of cultivation, uncover old betrayals, and test his own moral limits. Because to destroy a monster, sometimes, you have to become a greater one.

She is possessed by Aries, a raging blizzard who uses violence to assert her ownership, and trained by Lisena, a seductive flame who uses sweet punishments to melt her heart. Beneath the shadow of chains and the tip of a whip... amidst whimpers held back until her body trembles, fear transforms into burning desire, and submission becomes the only way for her to feel ‘valued.’ When the cage that confines her is not of steel, but the embrace of the two Alphas, and the only freedom left is to surrender her whole heart to this twisted ‘love’... how will this three-way bondage end? “Whose body is this... Speak your owner's name.”
