"Did you ever, even once, imagine yourself loving me?" Sarah posed a hopeful question to Philip. "Don’t make me laugh, Sarah. Everything between us has been purely about pleasure and business.” Sarah had harbored feelings for Philip ever since she first saw him in a sports magazine. When his fiancée abandoned him at the altar to elope with another man, Sarah selflessly offered herself as a replacement bride to spare his embarrassment. After enduring three years of a loveless and toxic marriage, Sarah finally summoned the courage to divorce Philip, who was still pining for his former fiancée. She vowed to herself that she would find another man who would love, trust, and worship her like a queen. This is what she sought if she were to marry a second time. A year later, their paths crossed again. Philip confronted Sarah in a ladies’ restroom, demanding, “Do not let other men touch you!” Sarah remained indifferent; her demeanor noticeably changed. “And what if I do?” she retorted. Philip’s tone grew menacing, “You won’t like what I’d do.” Unfazed, Sarah shot back, “Mr. Cornell, I’ve never liked what you’ve done, even in the past. There’s nothing new about that, and please stop whining like a baby,” before turning and walking away, disdainfully leaving him behind.

Losing her mate, or rather, thinking he was dead, was one thing. Getting forced to be a sex mate to a friend-enemy to save her son's throne was another. "What are you saying, Bernard?" I asked and received a soft chuckle from him. "I believe you heard me right, Victoria. Accept to be mine, and I will protect you and the throne of your son," he declared, offering an offer I couldn't reject. "But... I'm a married woman..." "You are no longer married, Victoria. Your mate and husband is dead. You, of all people, should know that," he cut in, while I gulped as tears welled in my eyes. "My offer won't stay for long. Remember, you have just an hour to accept before the meeting is held against your underage son," he said, reminding me of my fear. "I accept," I whispered, feeling my heart clenched with pain. "I accept to be yours," I whispered and tightly shut my eyes. After the happy ending of Victoria and Alpha Derick, everyone thought their lives would turn out as a bed of roses. However, tragedy struck when Alpha Derick was betrayed by his Beta, killed, and burnt to ashes. Victoria and Derick’s little boy was about to lose the throne to the same Beta who killed Alpha Derick, and the only person who could help her save it was her friend-enemy, Lord Bernard. But Lord Bernard wouldn't help without asking for a price in return, a price he thinks was snatched from him. That price happens to be Victoria. What happens when Victoria heeds his request to save her son's throne, and then the man who everyone thought was dead is actually alive and he's back to see so many things going wrong.
