A month before the SATs, I, Jenny Reid, could see my score. Literally. It was just floating right above my head. But there was a catch. Every time I cracked open a prep book, my score would drop by ten points. But if I skipped a day of school? It jumped right back up by ten. So, I played the system. For a whole month, I barely lifted a finger. And on the day of the test, the number glowing over my head was a solid 1560. When the scores finally dropped online… I'd scored a 500. And the 1560? That was my little sister Patricia's score. My parents lost it. As punishment, they got me a grueling night-shift job at a local electronics factory. That first night, a bunch of guys I'd never seen before cornered me in the parking lot and beat me half to death. Fading in and out of consciousness, I heard my sister's voice right by my ear. "You just had to one-up me, didn't you? Thought you were so smart… but you never figured out I was the one controlling that number over your head." The truth hit me like a physical blow. The score had been her trick all along. I opened my eyes—and I was back. One month before the SATs. The number above my head read exactly 1300. "Hey," my sister said, all fake sweetness. "Want to study together tonight? We can go over the practice tests." I looked at the stack of papers in my own hands. Without a word, I pulled out my lighter and set them on fire right there in the driveway. "Exams are coming," I said, watching the flames. "I'm not studying." My score ticked up to 1310. My sister's face was this perfect mask of disappointment, but the second I turned away, I caught the sly smile she couldn't quite hide. She had no idea… the real performance, the one I'd been rehearsing just for her, was finally about to begin.

Avant le divorce, la vie de Thérèsa n’était qu’un long calvaire. Prisonnière d’un mariage sans amour, elle encaissait en silence… jusqu’au jour où son mari rentra d’un voyage, flanqué d’une nouvelle femme et d’un fils. Ce jour-là, quelque chose se brisa en elle — et une autre Thérèsa naquit. Libre, fière et indépendante, elle rebâtit sa vie pierre après pierre, jurant de ne plus jamais plier. Mais lorsque la vérité sur le véritable père de sa fille éclate au grand jour, le passé revient frapper à sa porte. Son ex, rongé par le remords, tombe à genoux, suppliant son pardon. Trop tard. Car face à lui se dresse le nouveau collègue — et désormais fiancé — de Thérèsa. D’un ton calme, presque cruel, il lui dit : « Tu regrettes, c’est bien. Mais tes regrets viennent un peu trop tard. Thérèsa et moi allons nous marier. »

It was tougher than she ever thought, it was more difficult than she ever imagined. All she wanted to do was to play with their hearts, but she is left with no choice than to choose one of them.

Alpha Connor went to the human village to meet up with other pack Alphas to form an alliance against the rogue and lycan attacks. They met at a bar that reeks of alcohol where no one can track their scent. At the middle of their talk, Alpha Connor's attention was caught by a disturbing sight. There he saw a woman with white hair and a calming scent of a delicate peony. Her face shows discomfort as she was getting picked up by a group of drunk guys. He knew then that he has to do something. He knew then that she wasn’t just a nobody to him. She was his mate. He couldn’t track a female wolf in that woman. But what could a human mate do for a pack in danger? Little did he know that she wasn’t just a normal human. She is the daughter of the moon goddess.
