I've spent the past seven years by Caleb Hale's side, but I don't have a proper identity. He doesn't seem interested in marrying me, either. Later, he has plans to marry the daughter of the White family in a political marriage. They only have one condition—he must throw away the sandalwood bead bracelet he always wears. Caleb doesn't even bat an eye as he says, "It's just a little trinket, and I've grown sick of it." After that, he throws the bracelet into the annex from his balcony. Coincidentally, the annex later catches fire. Everyone is stunned to see me dash inside to retrieve the bracelet without a care for my safety. Subsequently, someone in the online community reveals that I kneeled in the snow outside Highspire Hall to get that bracelet.

My father-in-law, George Lane, suffered from a brain aneurysm and fell onto the ground. The floor was covered in his blood. I calmly picked up a mop and wiped the floor clean. As his daughter-in-law, I gave up on saving him within the most critical time. In my last life, I was the first person who found out that George was injured. I immediately got an ambulance and sent him to the hospital. Before the surgery, the hospital required his immediate family member to sign off the consent form. However, when I asked my husband, Brian Lane to come to the hospital to sign that document, he thought that I was acting out of jealousy because he was spending time with his first-love. He thought I was making an excuse to get him home, so he refused to go to the hospital. In the end, George passed away as he did not receive the treatment on time. Brian did not manage to see George for the last time, and he blamed it all on me. He then hacked me to death. “It’s your fault! My dad was so old, and you didn’t take good care of him as a daughter-in-law! Since you’re not doing your part when he’s alive, then you should continue your duties as a daughter-in-law in hell!” When I opened my eyes, I found myself on the day when George died again.

The night I find out I'm pregnant, my family's villa suddenly goes up in flames. I endure the suffocating smoke and run the risk of being disfigured as I run to my son's bedroom. However, it's empty. Just then, I hear his excited exclamations outside the window. "Monica, you look so cool when putting out fires! I bet you'll get first place in this upcoming Firefighter Challenge!" I'm about to head downstairs to lecture him when a wall collapses and crushes me. As I drift in and out of consciousness, I hear my stern, stoic husband praise Monica Sloan for her courage. If I'm guessing correctly, my husband and son have started this fire to please her. I stare at the door, which is so close and yet so far. I send out one final text before dying of asphyxiation.

Calla Wynter is in for a ride and she doesn't even know it yet. 18 years old Calla Wynter thought rejecting her fated mate would free her. Instead, it trapped her in a dorm room with three wolves, each one tied to her past and her secrets. Three irresistible boys that are all attracted to her, three irresistible boys that she can't decide between. Especially when each of them makes her heart beat faster, and throws her wolf into a frenzy. When a professor’s murder exposes a curse linked to her rejection, she’s forced to fake-date the mate she swore off to save the academy… and maybe her own heart.

I was dying soon. However, both of my childhood friends, who swore to protect me forever, did not realize that. It was because they were busy throwing a celebration party for their junior from the research lab. I went through hardships and got infected by this incurable virus to retrieve this special seaweed from the deep sea. However, that junior claimed that she was the one who got the seaweed! My childhood friends, whom I had known for decades, believed her. Due to their accusations, I became the evil senior who was taking credit for a junior’s work. I wanted to explain, but they said, “Mandy Smith is a good kid. Why would she lie?” “You’re busy playing tricks and acting like a pick-me girl instead of focusing on your research. Trust me, I’m going to get you removed by our supervisor.” After I was discharged from the hospital, I left the research lab and disappeared just like they wanted. However, they started to desperately look for me.

Gideon Gray deliberately failed to arrive on time on the day of our bonding ceremony, all so that he could defend my adoptive sister. Dusk had already fallen when he finally had his Beta relay a message to me. "If you hadn't stolen Selene's necklace, she wouldn't have been upset all day. Consider this a lesson. If you don't apologize to Selene, the bonding ceremony isn't happening." Just like that, I became the laughingstock of the entire pack. Even my own brother took Selene's side. "Maybe Gideon defending her is a good thing. It'll teach you to fix that attitude of yours." I turned and walked away. Since I could not rely on my mate or my brother, I would claim the Alpha Female position myself.

“Bakit sumunod kayo rito?" tanong n'ya sa mga kaibigan n'ya. “Nandito ang bagong misyon natin kaya pinapunta kami ni Boss dito." sagot ni Via sa kan'ya. "Sino?" tanong ko kay Via. “Ang pamilya Lazardo." sagot naman ni Fritzie. “The hell! Ang pamilya ni Franz,?" gulat kong tanong sa kanila. “Kilala mo ang mga Lazardo?" tanong naman ni Mau. “Guys, naalala ninyo iyong lalake na nakabangga ko sa Hongkong?" tanong ko sa kanila. “Anong kinalaman ng lalake na 'yon sa misyon natin?" tanong ulit ni Mau. “Puta naman oh! Ano question and answer portion ba ito ha Pia?" naiinip na tanong ni Cassy. “Ang nakabangga ko sa Hongkong na lalake at ang tinutukoy ninyo na pamilya Lazardo ay related sa isa't-isa. Siya lang naman ang panganay na anak nina tita Victoria at tito Mauro." mahabang paliwanag ko sa kanila. “So iyong lalake na tinutukoy mo ang mas dilikado ang buhay dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana ng isang Mafia Boss." sabat ni Via sa usapan. “What the hell!? Ibig sabihin si tito Mauro ay isang Mafia Boss! Kaya pala no'ng kaarawan ni tita Vicky ay may nagtangka sa buhay nila, mabuti nalang at matalas ang pakiramdam ko kaya nakita ko 'agad ang tatlong lalake na balak sanang maglagay ng lason sa mga baso ng mga Lazardo," mahaba kong paliwanag sa kanila. “Pero ang pinaka punterya nila ay iyong lalake dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana sa lahat kaya mas dilikado ang buhay n'ya." saad ni Mau. “Kaya lumapit ang mag-asawa kay Boss upang humingi ng tulong para maproteksyonan ang mga anak nila." sabi naman ni Via. "At nabalitaan namin na may mga ibang grupo na ang 'andito sa probinsya kaya kami napasugod 'agad." dagdag pa ni Via. Paano pagnalaman ni Franz na ang babaeng nasa likod ng maskara at ang babaeng pinakamamahal n'ya ay iisa?
