Bunga Wolfsbane

Nang dahil sa isang kasunduan, nagawang sumang-ayon ng dalagang si Marlita sa isang planong inaalok ng kaniyang nakababatang kaibigan. Kapalit ng perang pampagamot sa kaniyang lolang may kidney failure, kailangang paibigin at akitin ni Marlita ang masungit na bilyonaryong si Grayson Ryker. Ang unang hakbang sa kanilang plano ay liligawan niya at aakitin si Grayson. Kapag napa-ibig na niya ito, saka niya ito iiwan—kagaya ng napag-usapang plano. Subalit, ang pagsang-ayon ni Marlita sa planong panliligaw kay Grayson ay may kapalit—isang gabing iaalay niya ang kaniyang sarili upang sumang-ayon si Grayson sa nais niyang panliligaw. Makakaya kaya ni Marlita na tanggapin ang alok na ito para maisakatuparan ang kaniyang balak? O baka sa gagawing hakbang ng dalaga, dadalhin niya ang magiging bunga ng kanilang pagtatalik? Makabubuo kaya ng pag-ibig sa likod ng masamang balak ni Marlita? O baka huli na upang ito ay mapagtanto—dahil ang lalaking nililigawan niya pala ay may asawa na?

Sa isang gabing binalot ng alak, lihim, at pagkakamali, nabago ang kapalaran ng dalagang si Vienna Reign Gonzalez-isang bihasang secret agent na sanay itago ang emosyon sa likod ng malamig na titig at matatag na puso. Isang gabi ng labis na kalasingan ang naging dahilan ng isang hindi inaasahang bunga: isang buhay na lumalaki sa kanyang sinapupunan. Ngunit ang mas masakit na katotohanan-ang ama ng kanyang anak ay ang lalaking itinalaga niyang patayin. Si Devereux Blue Ace Guevara Montague-isang makapangyarihan, misteryoso, at kinatatakutang pangalan sa ilalim ng mundo. Isang lalaking puno ng sikreto, kapangyarihan, at mga kasalanang maaaring gumiba sa buong sistema. Siya ang target. Siya ang kalaban. Siya rin ang ama ng batang dinadala ni Vienna. Habang lumalalim ang misyon, mas lalo ring gumugulo ang kanyang puso.

Sa mundong puno ng baril, dugo, at pagtataksil-maaaring ang pinakamapanganib na misyon ay hindi ang pumatay... kundi ang umibig.

I was once the beloved daughter of the powerful Alpha and Luna of The Midnight Ridge Pack. I thought I had everything—a loving family, a protective brother, and a perfect fated mate—Steve Dolton, the strongest Beta of The Midnight Ridge Pack and the man I had loved for eighteen years. But when I turned eighteen, my world shattered. I discovered that I had been switched at birth and that Penny was the true heir of the pack. In an instant, I became the most awkward existence within The Midnight Ridge Pack. Though my parents promised I would always be their daughter, when Penny offended The Rogue King, they didn’t hesitate to make me take the blame and threw me into the infamous rogue den. I endured torture from silver chains and wolfsbane, my body covered in scars, becoming the lowest slave in the rogue den. It wasn’t until the fifth year that my brother-Alpha Joe and my former fiancé- Steve, came to the rogue den to take me back to The Midnight Ridge Pack. I overheard the casual chatter of the servants. "Does she seriously think she can come back?" "She made Miss Penny suffer outside for over a decade, stole ten years of happiness from her, and now she has the audacity to return and keep taking what belongs to Miss Penny. Shameless." "I heard that bringing her back this time is to help Miss Penny..." My throat tightened, and my palms grew cold. "Julia, come back home with us. We were wrong about you!" "Steve and I will treat you twice as well. You're still our precious little princess!" Amid their urging and apologies, I loosened my hand grip on the tattered hem of my dress. I had already promised to marry the son of The Rogue King. Our wedding was just around the corner.

After I get reborn, I've returned to the moment my mother wants me to pick out my future mate. This time, I don't choose anyone at all. Instead, I've decided to travel to the rural mountain area as a healer. In my previous life, the Alphas of the packs based in the northern meadow and the western coast had requested to form a marriage alliance with me to my mother. Similarly, I had feelings for both of them. But while I was conflicted as to which Alpha I had to choose, I happened to stumble upon them going into their rut earlier than expected due to them being drugged. The Alphas pinned me down on the bed. That was how I ended up spending the night with them. But it was precisely that night that left me with pup. Since we had no idea whose pup I was with, my parents decided to let me take both Alphas in as my mates for the sake of my pack's reputation. But on the day our mating ceremony was set to begin, the Alphas' first love, Julia Cooper, left her pack out of anger when she found out about their mating ceremony with me. Unexpectedly, the pack that Julia had gone to was invaded by another pack. She was exiled from the pack as a Rogue, only to get tormented by other Rogues till she drew her last breath. After her death, both Alphas laced my food with wolfsbane, which led to my death. On the second before I lost my consciousness, I heard their furious voices. "You have no right to be living a good life when Julia has died a terrible death!" When I open my eyes again, I've returned to the day both Alphas have gone into rut.

In my past life, my mate Marcus ran off to the forest to make love with my best friend Scarlett, who was eight-month pregnant. That’s when they'd be surrounded by a pack of rogue wolves. Scarlett, heavy with child, started bleeding heavily. Both of them desperately called for the Border Guard. As the Chief Warrior, I had risked everything to fight those rogue wolves. But Scarlett still died along with her unborn pup. My mate Marcus led others to accuse me of using my position for personal revenge. He personally severed both my hands with a silver blade. "A warrior without morals like you deserves to burn in hell!" he snarled. But I remembered clearly—when I drove off the rogues and got the pack healer to Scarlett, she barely had a scratch on her. Finally, Scarlett's parents arrived. I begged them to examine her body and investigate the truth. Instead, they reported to Alpha that I had neglected my duties. They claimed I was high on wolfsbane while guarding the border. Alpha exiled me for fifteen years. With both hands severed, I had no way to fight or shift properly. I survived by begging scraps from neighboring territories. Fifteen years later, I returned to the pack. I saw my mate Marcus walked through the airport's first-class terminal with Scarlett and their son. They were using my inheritance to fund their luxury vacation to the Maldives. They spotted me. Without hesitation, they pushed me into a silver pit to destroy all evidence. When I opened my eyes again, I was back to the day Scarlett faked her death. This time, I took one look at the scene and declared them beyond saving. I told my assistant to send them to bury them directly.

My sister, Lily, was torn to pieces by Rogues. I sobbed, begging my Fated Mate, Alpha Ethan, to find her killers. He never did. A year later, on the anniversary of her death. I went to find Ethan, ready to tell him I was pregnant. Instead, I found him holding another omega, Bella, in his arms. “Don’t worry,” he soothed her. “No one will find out you dropped the pack's mental shield and got Lily killed. Once Harper gives up her title as Luna at the ceremony, you will be my one and only.” My heart shattered. So that was it. He never marked me, never rejected me… he wanted me to step down on my own. He was protecting my sister’s murderer. He wanted to make her Luna. I stormed in, screaming, but Bella suddenly coughed up blood and collapsed. Wolfsbane poisoning, she claimed. "She was poisoned saving me! Give me your heart's blood! It's the only thing that can save her!" Ethan looked at me with more disgust than if I were trash. “I’m pregnant! It’ll kill the baby!” I pleaded. But his Alpha Command crashed down. My body was no longer my own. I could only watch as the thick needle pierced my chest, right over my heart. Golden blood flowed out. A sharp, tearing pain ripped through my stomach… He had killed my baby. My wolf shattered inside me. I closed my eyes, reaching for a forbidden connection in the werewolf world. "Lycan King Rogan. Tomorrow, I need you to help me destroy everything in the Blackwood Pack. Including Alpha Ethan."
