My Alpha mate thought I didn't know he had two half-breed Omega pups with his Omega mistress, but I had discovered his secret long ago. I threatened him to break up with his mistress, otherwise I would hide their child and make him regret it forever. But I had done absolutely nothing, their pups disappeared. He locked me in a silver cage and even made me watch my son being abused to interrogate me about the whereabouts of their pups. But when my son really died, I completely gave up and left. The powerful Alpha collapsed.

My boyfriend was a therapist. On the day I got diagnosed with ALS, he was busy celebrating his friend's birthday. He said, "Sophie's got depression. Without me, she could break down, hurt herself, or do worse things." To look after her, he broke up with me and moved into her place. I blocked him on everything, agreeing we'd go our separate ways. Strangely, he lost his nuts when he found out I was dying.

Naiinis si Shaun Dale kay Dahlia. Hayagan kasi ang pagkagusto nito sa kanya at kulang na lang ay haranahin siya. Para kay Dahlia ay hindi niya dapat ikahiya ang kung anumang nararamdaman niya para kay Shaun Dale. She’s in love kaya ano’ng magagawa niya kundi iparamdam at ipakita iyon. Kahit na palagi siya nitong sungitan hindi niya talaga mapigilan ang nararamdaman. Mas mabuti ng masabi kaysa manahimik siya sa isang tabi. Mas lalong nadagdagan ang inis ni Shaun Dale nang itakda silang dalawa para magpakasal. Tuwang-tuwa naman si Dahlia. At dahil pursigido si Dahlia sa ‘panliligaw’ ay hindi na rin napigilan ni Shaun ang tablan sa taglay nitong kapilyahan. Kung kailan naman tila nahulog na siya, saka siya tinakbuhan ni Dahlia sa araw ng kasal nila at hindi na nagpakita pa. After a couple of years muli silang nagtagpo. Is he still longing for her? Iyon ang tanong niya sa sarili. Hindi dapat. Dahil kung totoo ang ipinaramdam nitong pagmamahal bakit siya nito tinakbuhan sa kasal?

He was the man who owned my heart, but he was also the man who took everything from me. My parents, my pack, my heart. He thought he succeeded in killing me, but five years later, we crossed paths again, and I’m ready to collect what he stole from me. I had a spotless revenge plan, but one truth came off the left field, leaving me torn about what to do next. The man whom I promised to prosecute for all the pain he caused me was my fated mate, and ending him will also mean suicide. A choice must be made, and he was ready to fight for the truth to his last breath. The question was, "Am I ready for the truth to unfold?"

"All the beautiful memories, just turned into a beautiful nightmares." Breaking up with the guy you love the most is the hardest part of being in love. Letting go as if it’s only the choice you need to choose. Letting go even though you want to hold that person as tightly as you can just to make that person stay besides you. I really want to hold back, I want to fight for us, but how can I do that? Kung ang taong inaasahan mong lalaban din para sa iyo ay sumuko na nang tuluyan? Paano mo pa siya hahawakan kung siya na mismo ang kusang bumibitaw? Sometimes, when you love someone, you want and wishes them the best and happiness, but then sometimes, what's best for them is not you — you're not part of it. We love each other, but we choose to let go each other, it's not because we're coward and afraid to face it, but because that's the only thing we can do to save 'us'. WHERE YOU CAN'T STAY FOREVER.

Four years of marriage. One signature—his own—that set me free, though he never realized what he was signing. I was Sophia Moretti, the invisible wife of James Moretti, heir to the city’s most powerful mafia family. But when his childhood sweetheart, the dazzling and privileged Vicky, returned, I finally understood: I had always been temporary. So I played my final move. I slid the papers across his desk—divorce disguised as routine university forms. James signed without a second glance, his fountain pen scratching across the page as carelessly as he'd treated our vows, without noticing he was ending our marriage. But I walked away with more than my freedom. Beneath my coat, I carried his unborn heir—a secret that could destroy him when he finally realized what he'd lost. Now, the man who never noticed me is tearing the world apart trying to find me. From his penthouse to the underworld's gutters, he's turning over every stone. But I'm not some trembling prey waiting to be found. I rebuilt myself beyond his reach—where not even a Moretti can follow. This time, I won't be begging for his love. He'll be begging for mine.

The day Alpha Marcus and I marked each other, his first love, Cecilia, threw herself off a cliff into a ravine overgrown with wolfsbane. The pack searched for three full days and nights before they found her, barely clinging to life. She was once the most spirited she-wolf in our pack, but the fall cost her a leg and the ability to bear pups. I grieved for the beautiful life that had been ruined, and I blamed myself for not seeing how fragile she'd become. Marcus comforted me gently. "Elena, this wasn't your fault. Cecilia made her own choice. You did everything you could. Don't beat yourself up." Later, not long after our pup, Rylan, turned five, a sudden illness tore through him, and he died in my arms. Night after night, Marcus held me, wiping away my tears. "Don't be sad, Elena," he would murmur. "We'll have other children." I had always believed my mate was the most considerate, most protective Alpha in the entire world. Until the day I overheard him speaking with his Beta, Adrin. "Alpha, the dosage of wolfsbane we gave Rylan was perfect—just as you ordered. It looked like a genetic defect. No one will ever suspect." "It's been so long. Don't you think it's time to forgive the Luna?" "What's one pup compared to what Cecilia lost? She lost a leg, her future as a mother. Everything."

My husband took our six-year-old son to meet his first love, using him as a cover. At some point, he sent our son to buy burn cream. My sweet boy then encountered a lunatic who stabbed him to death. The pain in my heart was unbearable. When I saw the burn cream still in my son's hand, I broke down in tears. Yet, my husband called to berate me, "Look at the son you've raised, Shayla Joy! He burned Claire and didn't even apologize. Get him back here right now!"
