The story you are about to read is inspired by a true story and refers to a time span of three years. During this time, various events take place. Love. Intrigue. Folly. Trips. Hopes. Vicissitudes. A love triangle will put a girl disputed between two important but profoundly different men at the center of attention. A princess. A commander. A sailor. A ship. Between one port to another, from one route to another, in an endless journey between sea and land , in different geographic locations around the world will happen à the unthinkable - in which the main protagonists of the story - it will help in moments of difficulty - but at the same time they will hate each other - struggling to re - establish their bonds and their role. At the seaside, life is different. You don't live by the hour but by the moment. We live by the currents, we adjust to the tides and follow the course of the sun. Cit. (Sandy Gingras) I want the sea to touch me, make me breathe the world and its whys, give me an eternal instant, which I will carry with me as an indelible memory. The sea is the mystery in which I immerse myself to rediscover my life. The sea. Cit. (Stephen Littleword) You can't be unhappy when you have this: the smell of the sea, the sand under your fingers, the air, the wind. Cit. (Irène Némirovsky) When love is true and sincere, it climbs over the mountains, the vastness of the sky and the sea. No human experience is greater than its strength. Cit.(Romano Battaglia)

After days of torture at the hands of my family’s rival gang, they offered me one last phone call. I called my brother, Matteo. I just wanted to say goodbye—while I still had the chance. “What is it now?” he snapped. “Matteo, I—” He didn’t let me finish. “Fix your own mistakes. Until then, don’t call me again.” Death didn’t hurt as much as those words did. I felt my heart slow to a stop as my brother’s words echoed in my ears. I guess you’re finally at peace now, Matteo. I won’t bother you again. And you’ll never have to see me again.

Tamara Winslow stands amid the crowd while clutching two different documents in her hand. One of them shows a diagnosis report on her alexithymia, while the other showcases a divorce agreement. Three hours ago, she had specifically visited the Clerk's Office because the hospital's system had shown her marital status as "divorced". The city clerk looks up at her. "Ma'am, it's true that you and Mr. Braxton Merrick got divorced three years ago." Tamara's expression freezes on her face. "How could that be? We got married three years ago!" The city clerk checks the details once again. This time, he adapts a rather awkward tone. "The results are correct. It's true that you got divorced three years ago. In fact, it took place… on the seventh second right after you got married…"

I am the wife of the capital city’s esteemed tycoon. We were married in secret for three years. At the celebratory banquet, I was about to make our relationship public. However, his first love, Juvelia Shaw, stumbled into the hall clutching her torn collar. “Edwin, save me! Peri Sanders brought along her penniless brother. He just forced a kiss on me in the lounge! “He says he’s your brother-in-law. If I want to get into the Gough family, I have to please him.... Argh! I have been defiled!” The room fell deathly silent before erupting into a chorus of finger-pointing and curses. They accused me of forcing my brother to assault the esteemed tycoon’s woman just to secure his favor. Edwin Gough’s eyes blazed crimson. He ripped off his coat and wrapped it tightly around Juvelia. Then, he flung a glass of red wine at my face. Gritting his teeth, he glared at me. “Peri, bring out that beast of a brother of yours!” “Since his mouth is so vile, let’s pull out his teeth and cut his tongue off to feed the dogs! Otherwise, I’ll make the entire Sanders family pay with their lives!” Amidst the crowd’s looks of contempt and disgust, I burst into laughter. My brother had long since lost his voice. Three years ago, in a fire, he had inhaled excessive smoke while saving Edwin, which had destroyed his vocal cords. His tongue was gone too.

Walang ibang pinangarap si Ashanti kundi ang maibalik ang dating init at pagmamahal ng kanyang ina—pagmamahal na naglaho nang iwan sila ng kanyang ama para sa ibang babae. Kaya nang dumating ang pagkakataong mapasaya ito, hindi na siya nagdalawang-isip pa: pakakasalan niya ang lalaking pinili nito para sa kanya—si Grant. Ngunit ang akala niyang "happy ending" ay naging simula ng impyernong buhay mag-asawa. Sa likod ng magandang itsura at katayuan ni Grant ay ang lamig at kalupitan na sumira kay Ashanti. Mabuti na lamang at dumating si Uncle Saint—ang nag-iisang tiyuhin ni Grant, ang matagal na nitong karibal, at ang pinakamalaking tinik sa lalamunan nito. Kabaliktaran naman, si Uncle Saint ang naging tanging sandalan at kakampi ni Ashanti sa gitna ng dilim. Sa pagtira nila sa iisang bubong, sa bawat sandali ng pagdamay at pag-unawa, unti-unting namulaklak ang isang damdaming ipinagbabawal. Nagsimula ang lahat sa "no-strings-attached" na ugnayan hanggang nauwi na lang sa matinding pagmamahalan—isang pag-ibig na bawal, delikado, at puno ng panganib. Hanggang saan sila dadalhin ng bawal nilang ugnayan? Paano kung biglang magbago si Grant at nais nitong ayusin ang kanilang nasirang pamilya? Dagdag pa sa gulo, bumalik ang asawa ni Uncle Saint—handang gawin ang lahat para mabawi ito. Hanggang saan nila kayang itago ang kanilang lihim? Kung kailan nahanap na nila ang tunay na pag-ibig, ipaglalaban ba nila ito kahit laban na sa prinsipyo at kasal? O susuko na lamang sila at itutuwid ang pagkakamali, kahit na ang kapalit nito ay ang pagwasak sa kanilang mga puso?

Je suis née une oméga fragile, mais mon don de prophétie a fait de moi la Sainte des Meutes du Nord. Le Conseil des Anciens a exigé que je choisisse un compagnon parmi les Alphas des grandes meutes. L'Alpha que j'ai choisi était destiné à conduire le Nord à la victoire et à être couronné Roi des Alphas. J'ai choisi l'Alpha Kane sans hésitation. Il m'avait sauvé la vie une fois. Le jour de notre cérémonie de lien, j'ai rougi et tremblé lorsqu'il a enfoncé ses crocs dans mon cou. Mais au moment où nous avons été liés, son véritable amour Scarlett, sa Bêta d'enfance, est devenue folle de jalousie. Elle a tenté de m'empoisonner, et pour son crime, les Anciens l'ont exilée. Elle est morte sur la route. Et moi ? J'ai utilisé mes prophéties pour aider Kane à gagner la guerre, pour le mettre sur le trône. Après son couronnement, il a plongé une lame d'argent dans mon cœur. Il m'a assassinée. « Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! Pourquoi ne l'as-tu pas sauvée ?! » C'est seulement là que j'ai compris. Il m'avait détestée depuis toujours. J'ai rouvert les yeux… et j'étais de retour. De retour au jour où je devais choisir mon compagnon Alpha. Il se tenait devant moi, arrogant comme toujours. Il n'a perdu la tête que lorsqu'il a découvert que j'avais choisi un Alpha maudit. Je l'ai regardé s'agenouiller, implorant mon pardon. Mais dans cette vie, il n'y aurait aucune prophétie venant de moi. Voyons maintenant comment il survivra à la guerre.
