I secured a big deal for the company and was promoted to manager. However, I overheard my boss' secretary gossiping in the pantry, saying that I was brainless and only got where I was by using my body. I was so angry that I wanted to report it to the police. Surprisingly, her husband stopped me and forced his wife to bow and apologize to me, begging for forgiveness. Things got worse on the next day. Someone shared my inappropriate photos in the company group chat along with records of me supposedly checking into a hotel with a man. My colleagues looked at me with contempt, as if they all knew what was happening but refused to speak up. Even my boss fired me, saying I had moral issues. My husband immediately divorced me when he found out, took our daughter away, and left me with nothing. Neighbors pointed fingers and whispered about me. I was so overwhelmed that I lost my senses and was killed by a car crash. When I opened my eyes, I returned to the day I was promoted.

The day before the final round of Beta selection, I was poisoned with wolfsbane and locked inside my burning house. The fire spread too fast, and my weakened state prevented me from shifting. My wolf, Emma, screamed in my mind, but I couldn't escape. I clawed at the door as the flames seared my skin. When I was rescued, my body was covered in burns, my skin raw and torn. Outside the operating room, I heard my mother sobbing, repeating, “It’s my fault... I locked the door by accident... I never meant to...” Alpha David, my mate, called for every healer to restore me, but his cold words to my mother were chilling: “If Serina wasn’t so vain and selfish, I wouldn’t have had to do this. Becky was fragile, struggling with depression, yet Serina flaunted her success in front of her. This is what Serina owes her.” David’s actions were meant to pave the way for Becky to become Beta, but I was the one who suffered. He claimed to be treating me well, but destroying my health and future didn’t feel like care. I pressed my hand to my bandaged chest, the numbness spreading. Emma growled inside me, weakened by the wolfsbane. I no longer wanted the love of the mother who betrayed me or the mate who was supposed to protect me. I wanted nothing from them anymore.

“I love you. I love you so much that I’m willing to do everything to have you. I’ll give you my heart, my body, and my soul just to prove my loyalty. You can own me. You can have me. You can have my everything.” Sinong mag-aakla na ang isang tulad ni Zeikko Jox Teng ay marunong magmahal nang totoo? Na isang babae lang pala ang magpapaamo sa isang tulad niya? He is ruthless. He is cold. No one ever dares to mess up with him. But when this girl named Krystal came across his life — he changed. She is lost. She always feels alone. No one ever dares to get her out in the dark. She was once hurt because of love. She is broken. However no matter how hard Zeikko tried to heal her, to save her from pain and from everything . . . he knows that the only person can do so is his own brother, Kiel Jiro Teng — ang lalaking pinili siyang saktan upang iligtas siya sa kamay ng kanyang magulang. But when the story began to unfold . . . Sino ang pipiliin ni Krystal? Ang lalaking bang una niyang minahal at ginawa niyang buhay? O ang lalaking hindi siya sinukuan at ginawa ang lahat upang iparamdam sa kanya ang tunay na pagmamahal? “Krystal, this is an oath. AN OATH TO LOVE YOU.”

Yung bata na iniligtas ko noong maliliit pa kami ay lumaking isang possessive at obsessive na CEO. Sampung taon niya akong kinontrol, gamit ang sakit ng lola ko bilang pang-blackmail para pilitin akong magpakasal sa kanya. Sinubukan niyang gawin ang lahat para makuha ang loob ko—kahit anong paraan, ginawa niya,pero hindi ko siya kailanman minahal. Dahil sa sobrang galit, nakahanap siya ng babaeng halos kamukha ko para pumalit sa akin. Ipinagmalaki nila ang relasyon nila sa harap ng lahat, at may mga bulung-bulungan na natagpuan na raw ng CEO ang tunay niyang pag-ibig. Pero isang araw, dumating ang babaeng iyon sa villa kasama ang mga alipores niya, gamit ang atensyon at pagmamahal ng CEO bilang lakas ng loob. Isa-isa niyang binali ang mga daliri ko, sinugatan ang mukha ko gamit ang utility knife, at inalis ang damit ko para ipahiya ako. “Kahit nagparetoke ka pa para magmukhang ako, palalagpasin ko na ‘yun. Pero natuto ka pang magpinta nang kagaya ko? Grabe kang mag-aral! Tignan natin kung paano ka makakaakit ng mga lalaki ngayon!” Habang duguan na ako at halos mawalan ng malay, sa wakas dumating ‘yung obsessive na CEO. Hinila ako ng babae sa harapan niya at mayabang na nagsumbong, “Honey, itong babaeng ‘to ay nagtatago rito sa villa, tinatangkang akitin ka. Siniguro kong hindi siya magtatagumpay!”

Sa unang pagtatagpo nila Elyse at Zach ay hindi maikakaila ang isang napaka-pamilyar na pakiramdam. It was lust at first sight. Unang titig pa lamang ng lalaki sa mga mata nito ay umusbong na agad ang kaniyang pagnanasa na maikama ang babae. At, ng mismong gabi ring 'yon ay ibinigay nga ng dalaga ang matagal na nitong iniingatang pagka-birhen. Sa kabila nito ay pinilit niyang kalimutan si Zach. Mabuti na nga lamang at hindi niya naman naibigay ang buong detalye ng kaniyang pagkatao. Kapag nagka-ganoon ay siguradong may posibilidad na hanapin pa siya nito. Ngunit, sadyang mapaglaro ang tadhana. Nakita niyang muli ito sa hindi inaasahang lugar. Elyse can't deny her feelings as of that moment. Sa totoo lamang ay may parte ng kaniyang puso na hinahanap ang presensiya ng lalaki. His scent, his husky voice, his long manhood that once bring her to heaven. Maging ang simpleng pagtitig nito sa kaniya ay hinahanap-hanap niya. But then she found out a shocking piece of revelation. Kapwa nagulat silang pareho ng ipakilala siya nitong "Stepbrother" ng Ina ni Elyse. Hindi siya makapaniwalang ito ang lalaking naka-devirginize sa kaniya. Ngunit, paano kung mali siya? Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari ay namatay ang kanilang mga magulang sa isang plane crash. Naging dahilan ito upang magsama sa iisang bubong sina Zach at Elyse na kalaunan ay nagbunga ng isang pagkakasala. Piliin kaya ni Elyse ang maging moral? O magpapaalipin siya sa kasalanan kasama si Zach?
