Abot tainga ang ngiti ni Elisa habang naglalakad papunta sa opisina ng kanyang asawa. Pinaglalaruan niya sa isip at ini-imagine ang mga eksena kung paano maaaring mag-react ang asawa niya sa balita tungkol sa kanilang magiging anak. Buntis siya, dalawang buwan na. Habang papalapit siya sa opisina, napansin niyang bahagyang nakabukas ang pinto, sapat na para makita at marinig ang usapan sa loob. “Tama na, Azrael, ang kulit mo talaga!” malakas na hagikgik ng isang babae. "Nakikiliti ako!" Biglang bumilis ang tibok ng puso ni Elisa, at pakiramdam niya ay dumaloy nang mabilis ang dugo sa buong katawan niya. Hindi siya sigurado sa narinig, kaya napagpasyahan niyang sumilip—ingat na ingat na hindi makita o marinig. Dahan-dahan siyang yumuko at nakita niya si Azrael, ang kanyang asawa, nakayakap sa baywang ng babae at mapusok na hinahalikan ang leeg ng babae. Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Elisa sa nakita, lalo pa nang sakupin ni Azrael ang mga labi ng babae. Parang sinasaksak nang dahan-dahan ang puso niya, hindi niya alam ang gagawin. Hindi niya rin namalayan na tumutulo na pala ang mga luha niya. "A-Azrael..." nanginginig niyang bulalas, dahilan kung bakit napatingin sa kanya ang asawa.

Introduction At my mating ceremony with Blake Morrison, the Alpha heir I'd loved for eight years, his childhood sweetheart texted him a pregnancy test photo. He didn't hesitate for a second. He canceled our mating ceremony and rushed off to take care of his childhood sweetheart. After he left the ceremony hall, his childhood sweetheart posted photos on the big screen behind me. Photos of the two of them tangled together in my bedroom. Then Blake sent me a message: "I was drunk that night. Ivy is carrying my child, and I need to be there for her." "She wanted to hide the pregnancy and raise the pup alone, but she's an Omega. It's too hard for an Omega to raise a child by herself, especially when she's competing to be the Pack's Head Healer... I can't ruin her future, and I can't abandon an innocent life." "You're an Alpha wolf. High-ranking wolves don't get pregnant easily, and you've always wanted children quickly, right? After she gives birth, I'll arrange for her to study advanced healing at the Alliance. You can raise the child, and they'll only know you as their mother." When I didn't reply, he added another message: "The official marking and re-scheduling our mating ceremony will have to wait until after Ivy gives birth." I stared at my phone screen, laughing until my eyes burned with tears. I was the only Alpha heiress of the Stormfang Pack, the strongest pack in Southern territories. Did he really think that I had no choice but to pick him as my mate? I dialed the Alpha King Kane Blackwood's number directly: "Are you still willing to be my mate?"

Alexandria is the Alpha to the Wolves of La Muerte, and one of the only female Alphas known in the world of werewolves.

Will Jacke bring down his walls to let Alex in, and trust that she won't betray his faith or fall short and leave both of them in shambles?

Ah! Mrs Gates, you're glowing. Your husband is taking good care of you. You keep getting more beautiful by the day.” “Of course, Mr Clinton loves his wife the most. Can't you see how in love they are? Do you think he would let her do something as stressful as working?” “That's true. I wish I were in her shoes. A perfect billionaire housewife with a doting husband who worships her. The last time he bought Star of the Sea at the auction, I immediately knew that his love for her was unlimited,” another high-class woman chimed as I passed by them. I halted in my tracks. Star of the Sea? How come I can't remember him giving it to me? Before I could process everything, another figure stepped in. A figure that I dread mentioning her name. Yeah, it was her. Louisa Carter, my husband’s childhood sweetheart. The woman whose existence threatens to tear my marriage apart. “How does it feel to be divorcing the man you love? Why didn't you tell those silly women the truth— that you're nothing to Clinton? You're just trash, not worth mentioning.” She hissed. I looked up at her the moment I heard divorce. Clinton has not told our family yet and even ordered me to keep it a secret. How did she know? “Mrs Gates? What a joke!” she continued. You're just sitting on an empty shell. His heart, his body, his wealth, his company, they all belong to me. You have nothing except the name. ******* Everyone in the city assumed Joanna was the precious wife of Clinton Gates because of how boastful he was of her. What they didn’t know was that all he did was just a public stunt until Joanna boldly threw divorce papers in his face.
