Three days before my wedding, I find out that my fiancee, Ivy Carlton, has changed the wedding venue from my grandfather's home—that's located up in the south—to Jonah Jennings, her childhood friend's favorite castle in Staravia. When I'm about to confront her, I overhear her complaining to her friend, "Thank goodness Jon's a man with taste! Otherwise, everyone's going to make fun of me for the rest of my life!" Her friend asks, "Didn't you agree that you'd hold the wedding ceremony in Theo's grandpa's house? Aren't you worried that he might not marry you out of fury when he finds out?" Ivy chortles in response. "The Sterlings are on the verge of bankruptcy. Marrying me is Theo's only ticket out of poverty. He can't risk losing me at all. "I've already arranged for the wedding planner to call him and inform him about the change. He's most likely rushing to change his flight." Rage and resentment swell in my heart. I clench my fists tightly, but in the end, I turn on my heel and leave. Three days later, the wedding is held in the castle, just as Ivy has planned. I never changed my flight, nor did I show up at the castle. Instead, I choose to exchange rings with another woman in my grandpa's courtyard. Till now, Ivy still doesn't understand that I want to marry her because we've been dating for ten long years, not because I view her as a ticket out of poverty. But now that I've woken up from my dream woven of fantasies, it's time for me to make choice.

On the day of our bonding ceremony, my blood bound, Alaric, took the eternal vows with his true love right before my eyes—his true love, who had only a few years left to live. He leaned closer to her ear and whispered, “I arranged a wolf attack on Elara so that she couldn't arrive at the ceremony on time, and I’ll take the Eternal Vows with you first.” “By our Clan’s law, since I took the vows with you first, you are my legal wedlock, whereas Elara is just a mistress.” He added. Everyone cheered and blessed them as he pulled her in his arms and kissed her passionately. I witnessed all of this, but I didn't cry or kick up a fuss. I've loved Alaric for decades, but I still couldn’t compare to Celeste, a half-blood vampire, created by my father. If that's the case, I'll let him go. Later, I joined the mortal world far away from our Clan. All that I left behind was a miscarriage report with my baby’s DNA , who couldn’t survive the wolf attack they had planned for me. Alaric had never cared for me, so it's odd that he would lose his mind over the loss of a child I bore for him.

The day I received my medical report and found out I was pregnant, my husband—Alpha Scott Hansen—held a small wedding ceremony in the hospital garden with his first love and former mate, Gillian Boyd. He explained, “Her final wish in this life was to be my bride.” But what about me? What was I to him? A replacement? It finally hit me—ten years of unwavering devotion and sacrifice meant nothing compared to a single tear shed by his first love.

C'est le matin de ses funérailles, mais Josie ne cherche pas un mouchoir ; elle cherche une casserole d'eau bouillante et un avocat spécialisé dans la liquidation. Tandis que le reste de la famille Hart se prépare au deuil, Josie s'affaire à vendre les voitures de luxe de Julian et à vider ses comptes bancaires secrets. Pour être sûre que Julian ne puisse jamais revenir dans sa vie, elle s'en prend au seul homme qu'il ait jamais vraiment craint : son oncle, Alexander Hart. Ce milliardaire impitoyable convoite Josie depuis vingt ans, et il est plus que ravi de l'aider à enterrer Julian pour de bon, pourvu qu'elle soit prête à payer le prix qu'il exige.

Le monde de Jayla s'écroule lorsqu'elle entre dans la chambre de son petit ami. Son corps gît froid sur le sol, une lettre d'adieu sur le bureau. Ils étaient amoureux depuis le lycée et avaient passé quatre ans ensemble. Il avait des projets, des rêves, et elle. Jayla sait qu'il ne s'est pas suicidé. Mais l'université est pressée de classer l'affaire. Quand Jayla refuse de laisser la vérité mourir avec lui, elle croise le chemin de Xantos, un étudiant à la langue acérée et à l'observation perspicace, qui a ses propres raisons d'être sur le campus. Son meilleur ami est mort lui aussi. Et comme pour le petit ami de Jayla, les autorités insistent sur le fait qu'il s'agit d'un « suicide ». Xantos n'est pas seul. Sa petite amie, Lyra, est déterminée à faire éclater la vérité… jusqu'à ce que des secrets commencent à refaire surface, des secrets qui lient Lyra bien plus étroitement aux morts que quiconque ne le soupçonne. Contraints à une alliance fragile, Jayla et Xantos découvrent un monde caché sous la réputation idyllique de l'université : recherches illégales, sectes étudiantes d'élite, réseaux de chantage et un jeu mortel où les nouveaux étudiants sont des pions et où le silence s'achète dans le sang. Au fil des épreuves, des dangers et des nuits de traque, Jayla et Xantos font une découverte inattendue : une connexion profonde. Ce qui commence par la suspicion se mue en confiance, et de cette confiance en un amour forgé par la perte et la survie. Mais sur un campus où les tueurs se fondent parmi les étudiants, tomber amoureux pourrait bien être la pire erreur de toutes. La justice a un prix. La vengeance a des conséquences. Et certaines histoires d'amour naissent du sang.
