I walked away without looking back, only to discover I was pregnant with a child I never planned for. Rejected by my fated mate and betrayed by the one person I called sister , I was alone.. and drowning. Until I met him. He was mysterious, dangerous and irresistible. He offered me more than comfort, he offered me revenge , redemption, and a second chance at love. But trusting again might cost me more than my heart.. it might cost me literally everything.

"This is my chance!", I thought. I snatched the sword from the guards hand and held my sharp blade to Prince Aven's neck. "Well... What are you waiting for", he spoke calmly. My hands began to shake with my eyesight becoming blured and overlapping voices filled the silence in my head. "Do it!", he yelled. I zoned out, Aven had grabbed my sword and laid on top of me. He slowly entangled his fingers into mine, looking at me with anger in his eyes. Then in one fast motion "Crack!" I let out a blood-curdling cry, as I felt all the pain in one broken finger. "Say you love me and maybe I'll stop". -Summary: Aven, Prince and Future king of a corrupt monarchy and society begins having a dream of a strange woman who must complete the prophecy of concieving the perfect heir.

"Yes! I dare you to kiss me and claim me as yours, and let the world know what we are!" I declared boldly, with the pain seeking deep into my heart. As expected, he never said a word. His gaze was all I needed to understand the fact that I was once again being rejected by my second-chance mate, and this time it hurt more than I had imagined, since I had grown to love him.

Sa loob ng tatlong taon, namuhay si Clarissa Montefalco sa ilalim ng anino ng kasinungalingan—isang simpleng babae sa paningin ng lahat, ngunit sa likod ng tahimik na anyo ay ang tagapagmana ng isa sa pinakamalalaking business empires sa bansa. Minahal niya si Joaquin nang totoo, kahit pa hindi nito alam ang kanyang tunay na pagkatao. Ngunit sa pagbabalik ng babaeng mahal ni Joaquin, iniwan siya nito nang walang pasabi—pinahiya, sinaktan, at sinabihang siya pa ang pilit na humahabol. Hindi alam ni Joaquin na ang babaeng tinapakan niya ay may kapangyarihang baguhin ang buhay ng kahit sinong lalaki… kabilang na siya. Sa muling pag-uwi ni Clarissa sa Maynila upang pamunuan ang kompanyang iiwan ng kanyang ina, hindi niya inaasahang makikilala niya si Luis Antonio Dela Cruz—ang pinsan ng kanyang matalik na kaibigan, at isang lalaking may sarili ring itinatagong yaman at lihim. Sa gitna ng sakit, isang gabing puno ng alak ang nagtulak kay Clarissa sa piling ni Luis. At sa isang hindi inaasahang kasunduan upang makaiwas sa mga piling asawa ng kanilang mga magulang, lihim silang nagpakasal. Ngayon, si Clarissa Montefalco ay hindi lamang isang tagapagmanang hindi kinikilala—isa na rin siyang asawa ng isang secret billionaire. At si Luis? Isang lalaking dumarating sa mga panahong hindi niya inaasahan, dala ang pag-ibig na kailanman ay hindi naibigay ni Joaquin. Ngunit handa ba si Clarissa na magmahal muli, o mananatili siyang bihag ng sakit ng nakaraan?

When I was younger, I loved to dress in pink colors and high heels. I was born as a man, but I always felt like a woman. And after many nights of thinking, I decided to tell Logan, my crush and best friend, my secret. I poured my heart out; I even confessed that I'm in love with him—big mistake. He laughed into my face and said it was disgusting to see me wearing a dress. According to him, I would never be a real woman. Those words broke me, and years later, even after I've gone through with my operation, my self-confidence is still in pieces. Logan broke me, and when fate puts him back into my life, I only have one goal in mind—revenge. He is the unknowing CEO, chasing the woman he can no longer recognize, and I will break his heart this time.

“You call this pathetic fling between us a relationship?” Malric’s voice turned cold, “Are you that desperate, Aluin? Do you really think I owe you anything because you are my mate? I have provided everything to make you comfortable; a roof over your head, clothes, money, everything!” he snapped, his eyes mad with anger, “Are you that delusional? You thought this could ever work out? A man and a man, ruling a pack? Doesn’t that sound stupid to you?” One should feel lucky and blessed to be an Alpha’s mate, but that was never the case for Aluin. As a male omega, his bond with the young alpha was destined to remain a secret—unblessed, unspoken. From the moment they discovered their mate bond, Malric had hidden their love away, locking it inside the apartment he bought for Aluin, along with his promises and sweet words. Though concealed, though treated as a shameful secret, Malric’s burning touch and heated gaze drew Aluin in again and again. He waited silently, hoping for the day Malric would finally be ready to claim him. But instead, news of Malric’s engagement arrived first. Aluin was not even granted a decent closure of their situationship. They crushed his dignity without mercy, and he almost lost his life to their trap. Aluin learnt it the hard way the young alpha was never someone he was meant to desire. Then why, after he has finally moved on and embraced a new life, would Malric come crashing back into it again?
