“A monster like you could never be my Luna.” Those words shatter Elara Voss on the night she finally shifts… into the forbidden Shadow Wolf. Rejected by the Alpha King and cast out as a cursed monster, Elara flees into the rogue lands with nothing but humiliation burning in her chest. But when Kairos Blackthorn comes hunting for her, he doesn’t find the broken omega he rejected. He finds a queen. In a moment of fury, Elara does the impossible—she marks the Alpha King instead. Now the bond is reversed. The king who rejected her feels every ounce of her pain… her rage… and her growing power. As war brews between brothers and ancient enemies rise from the shadows, Kairos must fight to win back the mate he destroyed before Elara’s darkness consumes them all.

When event planner Sophia Martinez crashes billionaire Ethan Cross's exclusive charity gala, she's just trying to steal enough food to feed her dying mother. She never expects to catch the attention of New York's most ruthless CEO or to accept his shocking proposal. Ethan offers Sophia five million dollars for six months of her life: pose as his devoted fiancée to make his ex jealous and secure the biggest business deal of his career. The rules are simple no real feelings, no physical contact, just perfect public performances as the ideal couple. But Sophia harbors a devastating secret. She's the daughter of the man who destroyed Ethan's family empire five years ago, and she's been living with the guilt ever since.

But when business rival Marcus Reid begins circling like a vulture, threatening to expose their arrangement, Ethan realizes the game has become far more dangerous than either of them anticipated.

When Ethan discovers her true identity, their contract becomes worthless but their hearts have already signed a deal that could destroy them both. In a world where billion-dollar empires rise and fall on trust, can love survive the ultimate betrayal? Or will the truth shatter more than just their fake engagement?

Charles’ breath quickened, and his movements became more urgent. “I’m close,” he gasped in my ear, his voice breaking between moans. My own pleasure surged, and I couldn’t hold back the scream that tore from my throat. A wave of electric tingles swept through me, my temples throbbed, and the world around me faded into white… Every pore on my body felt wide open, heat radiating from me in waves. It was surreal, as if I were in a dream, feeling everything but grasping none of it… I could hardly believe it—I had married this man, the infamous Alpha of the Black Valley Pack, Charles McLean, and I had just slept with him. But there was no love between us. We weren’t fated mates. Since his first shift at eighteen, Charles McLean had never found his fated mate. And after one engagement after another, each of his fiancées had died under mysterious circumstances. Rumor had it that he wore a mask to conceal his hideous face and that he was a cruel, violent man who would kill without hesitation. People whispered that he had murdered his previous fiancées. His last fiancée—my sister—was terrified of him. Horrified by the stories, she had vehemently refused to marry him. And just before the wedding, she found her fated mate. So, without warning or preparation, I was forced to take her place, pushed into marrying Charles in her stead, to stand as his wife in name only and the unacknowledged Luna of the Black Valley Pack…

Adrian Vale is powerful, successful, and untouchable. At twenty nine, she is the CEO of Vale Noir Group, admired for her intelligence, respected for her leadership, and protected by a family no one dares to cross. Adrian is kind, warm, and loyal, even as powerful men orbit her world, each drawn to her for different reasons. A brilliant lawyer who challenges her mind and tempts her restraint. A businessman from her past who knows the woman she used to be. A dangerous connection she never fully escaped. But danger does not always arrive openly. Celeste Ashford is charming, helpful, and always close. A friend who smiles easily and listens carefully. When envy turns into entitlement, proximity becomes a weapon, and betrayal sets off a chain of events Adrian never sees coming. Whispers turn into threats. Threats turn into violence. And a reward is placed on Adrian Vale. Forced to confront the cost of being desired and the danger of being known, Adrian must decide who truly deserves her trust and how far she is willing to go to survive. This is not a story about a woman waiting to be saved. It is a story about power, desire, loyalty, and what happens when the wrong person gets too close.

"Mi íncubo llegó hace un mes y todavía no deja que lo toque. ¿Por qué pasa esto?" Escribí al asesor con el ceño fruncido, ya perdiendo la paciencia. La respuesta del agente no tardó en llegar, redactada con esa cortesía empalagosa de siempre. "Señorita, nuestras unidades suelen estar ansiosas por convivir con sus dueñas. Si el suyo se comporta así, lo más probable es que esté defectuoso. Si gusta, podemos tramitar el cambio ahora mismo. El nuevo le estaría llegando en una semana." Me quedé mirando a Diego. Era perfecto, tal como lo había soñado siempre. No podía con el pensamiento de devolverlo. Decidí darle un voto de confianza y esperar unos días más. Si de plano no funcionaba, intentaría mandarlo a reparar. Me encantaba demasiado como para rendirme así de fácil. Pero todo se fue al carajo durante la cena familiar. Fue ahí donde sentí un nudo en el estómago al darme cuenta de que mi íncubo tuvo una reacción al ver a mi hermanastra... que estaba sentada justo frente a él. En ese momento, caí en cuenta: el día que llegó el paquete, fue ella quien lo abrió. Esa misma noche, volví a contactar al asesor. "¿Me confirman que el nuevo llega en una semana? Olvídenlo, mándenme el reemplazo de una vez."

Hari pertama sekolah selalu penuh tanda tanya, apakah akan menyenangkan, membosankan, atau justru penuh kejutan? Bagi El dan Tiara, hari pertama MPLS bukan hanya tentang mengenal sekolah baru, guru baru, atau teman baru. Tapi tentang pertemuan yang terasa... berbeda.

Di antara kelas-kelas baru, peraturan sekolah, dan perasaan canggung, El dan Tiara menjalani hari demi hari dengan obrolan yang makin dalam, namun tetap mencoba tetap dalam "jalur pertemanan".
