Gemma Cruz-araneta

Emerald is on her way to becoming the Silver Pack's greatest warrior. Her best friend, future Alpha Declan is one of her biggest supporters. He, along with her other two best friends, future Beta Jackson, and future Gemma Wesley, put her through the wringer, and more often than not, she comes up as the shining star. Everyone believes Emerald had the most leisurely life growing up. With her best friends being who they are, having the most loving mother and step-father who didn't hesitate to take her in as his own, but the truth is her family has been through hell. Em, well, she's been through even more. No one knows that better than her three best friends, who have all been attached at the hip since they met her at age three. They each have a secret, though, one they never even admitted to one another. Declan, Jack, and Wesley are in love with Emerald. The deep love that they won't admit, not even to themselves. Emerald is in love with all three of them, but unlike her friends, she knows it, and now that they are about to turn eighteen in just a few weeks, she's starting to get scared for the first time in her life. They will all be blessed by the moon goddess with their mates, and you just don't know how it will go. One of us could be a mate, or all four will mate with someone they know or don't even know. The issue with the last part is she-wolves are very jealous creatures, so our friendship can come to a crashing halt after all these years. The thought of that could kill her alone. But guess we will have to wait and see...

He leaned in closer, his breath warm on my cheek. "I know a place where we can really forget about everything else," he murmured. I felt a thrill of anticipation run through me. It was reckless, and I knew I shouldn't, but something about this man made me want to throw caution to the wind. We left the bar together, walking through the quiet alleys until we came to a luxurious hotel. He led me inside, and we made our way to a suite with a breathtaking view of the city. The guy kissed me hungrily, and all my doubts faded away. For that night, I was able to forget about my heartbreak and just be in the moment. As we lay together, sated and content, he whispered to me, "I may be disguised, but I promise you, I'm not who you think I am." I looked at him, confused. "What do you mean?" He smiled enigmatically. "Let's just say that I'm not your average guy." And with that, he gathered his things and left, leaving me alone once again, but with a newfound sense of hope. Maybe there was something better waiting for me out there, after all. ★★★ Andrea Fernandez, an unpopular newspaper reporter from Cebu, had her life changed with one simple contract: to become "Carmen Dela Cruz" for the wealthy and influential Dela Cruz family.

Lara Dela Cruz was a normal girl—well, normal in the sense that she was an overworked call center agent who hated her boss, loved iced coffee, and had mastered the art of sarcasm to survive the horrors of capitalism. But one night, while rushing home, she slipped on a puddle (thanks to her horrible luck) and hit her head hard on the pavement. When she woke up… she wasn’t in her world anymore. Instead, she found herself in a medieval kingdom, in the middle of a chaotic slave auction. And before she could even scream in protest, she was bought by the most feared man in the entire empire—Duke Alistair Von Nacht, also known as the Tyrant Duke. Now, instead of dealing with rude customers, she had to deal with an emotionally constipated warlord who could kill her with a flick of his fingers. But what’s worse? She might be falling for the grumpy tyrant.
