Coma

I had loved my best friend's Alpha heir brother Marcus Steele for ten years. After my first shift, I was thrilled to discover he was actually my mate. Without hesitation, I gave up my position as Alpha heiress of the Crimson Pack and joined the Moonridge Pack. I spent three years doing everything I could think of to win him over. Finally, he agreed to our binding. Just as I was happily preparing to discuss our mating ceremony with him, I overheard his conversation with his Beta. "Alpha, are you really planning to hold a mating ceremony with Aria Blackwood? Serena is still carrying your child..." The man's eyes were dark and unreadable. "That's right. Even though Serena is pregnant with my child, my father has been dissatisfied with me. This time I have no choice but to marry Aria to appease him. After all, she's the Alpha heiress of the most powerful Crimson Pack. If I marry her, father will definitely let me inherit the Alpha position." "Aren't you afraid Aria will find out about Serena and cause trouble for her?" "No way. After all these years, I know exactly what kind of person she is. I'll just sweet-talk her a bit and she'll obediently listen to me. Besides, that's my bloodline. She'll have to accept it." I felt like I'd been struck by lightning. I stumbled outside in a daze, only to be ambushed by enemy rogue wolves. I was poisoned with silver, and because help didn't arrive in time, the silver toxin spread through my bloodstream to my brain. After three days and nights in a coma, I woke up having forgotten all memories of the man I had once loved with all my heart. Ever since I came to the Moonridge Pack, my parents called every month asking me to come home. This time I dialed my father's number and told him: "I don't want to be the Moonridge Pack's Luna anymore. I want to be Crimson's Alpha."

Isang trahedyang gabi ang nagtapos sa buhay ni Elena Marquez, isang babaeng nabuhay na puno ng pagsisisi at mga pangarap na hindi natupad. Sa kanyang huling hininga, iisa lamang ang hiling niya ang mabigyan ng isa pang pagkakataon upang itama ang mga maling desisyon ng nakaraan. Ngunit ang ikalawang buhay na ibinigay sa kanya ay higit na mas kumplikado kaysa sa inaasahan niya. Nagising si Elena sa katawan ni Aurelia Deveraux, ang asawa ng isang makapangyarihang bilyonaryong si Sebastian Deveraux. Ayon sa lahat, dalawang taon nang comatose si Aurelia matapos ang isang malubhang aksidente, kaya’t ang bigla nitong paggising ay itinuring na isang himala. Ngunit para kay Elena, ito ay isang bangungot na puno ng tanong at takot—sapagkat siya ay nabubuhay sa katawang hindi kanya, sa isang buhay na hindi niya pinili. Habang sinusubukan niyang umangkop sa marangyang mundo ng mga Deveraux, unti-unti niyang natutuklasan na ang aksidenteng naglagay kay Aurelia sa coma ay hindi isang simpleng trahedya. Sa likod ng mga ngiti at pakikiramay ay may mga taong may itinatagong ambisyon at lihim lalo na ang babaeng matagal nang nagnanais na mapalapit kay Sebastian. Sa kabila ng pagdududa at emosyonal na distansya, unti-unting nabubuo ang isang kakaibang koneksyon sa pagitan ni Elena at ni Sebastian isang damdaming hindi batay sa alaala ng nakaraan, kundi sa taong unti-unti nilang nakikilala sa kasalukuyan. Ngunit hanggang kailan kayang itago ni Elena ang katotohanan tungkol sa kanyang pagkatao? At kapag nalaman ni Sebastian ang lahat, pipiliin ba niya ang babaeng minahal niya sa alaala o ang kaluluwang minahal niya sa kasalukuyan? Isang kwento ng ikalawang buhay, lihim, at pag-ibig na susubok sa hangganan ng katawan, kaluluwa, at kapalaran.

Que peut faire une femme lorsque son mari a perdu la mémoire et qu'il est amoureux d'une autre femme ? Il y a trois ans, je suis restée dans le coma pendant un an après un accident de voiture. Lorsque je me suis réveillée, non seulement mon mari ne se souvenait plus de moi, mais il aimait une autre femme, Ashlyn. Mais je n'ai pas renoncé à notre couple. Il y a deux mois, nous étions ivres et nous avons couché ensemble pour la première fois en deux ans. Mais le lendemain matin, Jayden était plus en colère que jamais. Il était convaincu qu'il avait été drogué, ce qui n'était qu'un autre de mes stratagèmes pour le reconquérir... Je ne peux pas oublier l'image de lui me fixant sans aucune émotion dans les yeux et me tendant l'accord de divorce. Puis j'ai découvert que j'étais enceinte. La petite vie qui grandissait en moi m'a rendue plus forte. Cela fait maintenant trois ans et, lentement, chaque jour s'améliore. J'ai créé une petite entreprise de marketing et de conseil financier, mettant à profit ma formation. Mon associé, Philippe, m'a aidée à développer l'entreprise et nous sommes devenus très proches. Aujourd'hui, Philippe était tellement ému par la signature de notre plus gros contrat que ses lèvres se sont posées sur les miennes avant que je ne puisse l'en empêcher. Quand je me retourne, l'homme qui se tient devant notre porte vitrée et qui nous regarde, Philippe et moi, est mon ex-mari Jayden Brennan en personne. Y a-t-il de la jalousie dans ses yeux ? Que veut-il maintenant ?
