Hange Zoe Aot

All Dahlia's life she had been told to run. Her mother told her to run the day she died. Her sister told her to not let anyone stop her, the day she left. And her wolf told her to enjoy it. And she does. At the age of 17 she is the fastest in her pack. Her wolf only making her faster. During a training run with her training group the Luna introduces a new student. An alpha's son from an allied pack. Could he be her mate? Or her best friend's mate? Do either of them want to be a luna? Does it even matter since many alphas choose a mate?

On her birthday, Chloe’s world falls apart when her boyfriend abandons her. Seeking comfort, she makes the worst mistake of her life—or maybe the best one. In a moment of weakness, she ends up in the arms of Ruan, her half-sister Megan’s rejected fiancé. That single night changes everything. When Megan disappears and Chloe’s family turns against her, she is forced into an unthinkable role: the substitute bride. Trapped in a loveless marriage, she faces a ruthless father, a cruel stepmother, and a husband who belongs to someone else. Two years later, after her father’s death and Megan’s shocking return, the fragile balance shatters. Ruan, torn between the past and the present, demands a divorce. But as the papers are drawn, he realizes something he never expected—Chloe has taken root in his heart in ways he cannot deny. Now, he must face the one question that could rewrite their fate: What if the love he spent years searching for has always been with the woman he swore he would never love?

Dante and I have been married for three years. But he never knew my real name. We’d had countless arguments over the past three years—over the petty details of everyday life. I can no longer tolerate such a ridiculous life like a puppet today. Calliope, that’s what he called me, but it was actually my twin sister’s name. My husband may never know that the woman who married him three years ago was a substitute bride. Three years ago, my sister abandoned us and left before the wedding with her lover. To prevent the anger of the Laurent’s, my family had no choice but to let me marry Dante instead of my sister. My phone rang again and again, I finally picked it up. "Throwing another tantrum, are you? Calliope, tell me what you are capable to do if you can not even be merely a housewife?" I knew Calliope could always get her way through her sweet voice and innocent smiles. She can be an obedient and perfect wife—something I could never manage. "Dante. I’m not joking.” I didn't know if my voice sounded a little sad. "You can’t be serious—" For the first time, I heard a tremor in the man's words. He doesn't love me. He likes to be in control. When he realized that his puppet was losing control, he began to panic. It's time for this farce to end. I clenched my phone and spoke to the man on the other end in the calmest voice of my life. "Dante, let's get a divorce." But what shocked me more than hearing Dante's answer was the person who suddenly appeared in front of me. Calliope, my twin sister, who disappeared for the whole three years. “Are you crazy? Why on earth would you want a divorce? That's Dante Laurent, a billionaire heir, every woman's dream！” “Calliope? Our parents and I all thought you would never show up again. I entered this wrong marriage because of your escape. Dante... he’s not that a husband out of your dreams.” “Seraphina, put away your ridiculous niceness and compassion. I have returned this time to take back what is MINE and my place.” She lifted my hand with a sneer and removed the wedding ring from my finger.

He’s dangerous, addictive, and my newest assignment. The future I desperately crave rests in the palm of his hand. Breathtakingly handsome and painfully private, he’s the sinner who killed a saint. That’s what the world sees when they catch a glimpse of Giorgio Mahone. He’s the mysterious billionaire that lurks within those that barely knows him. That lurks within me. My job is to understand him. His goal is to break me. Only one of our hearts will survive. Let the cruel games begin.

In New York’s Upper East Side, there were two heirs. One was a speed-obsessed daredevil dominating the racetracks, the other was a brilliant actuary who controlled the flow of capital. Born into powerful families and polar opposites in temperament, yet they grew up side by side as each other’s only best friend. They had fought over girls and bickered endlessly over racing bets. However, at fifteen, there was one thing they did in perfect unison. They each put on the same roughly carved bronze badge. They were trinkets Mia had idly made during a craft class, marked only by a faint “M” scratched on the back. Back then, Mia was seated in the last row of the classroom. Her background was a complete mystery to everyone. Yet they wore that badge for ten whole years. Whether standing on the F1 podium or locking in billion-dollar trades at the exchange, the cheap little badge on their chests never changed. Until Ella showed up. She was the cherished daughter of a rising conglomerate family. She hand-stitched two gold-thread fabric patches and gifted them to them. The patches looked so ordinary they looked like the kind of trinket you would find three for a dollar at a flea market. And yet, they both replaced their bronze badges with her plain patches. Mia did not say anything. She simply folded away an old newspaper clipping with a photo of the three of them smiling together. That night, she called her father in Sicily. Her voice was emotionless. “Papa, I accept the marriage arrangement.”

Di bagian timur Kota New York ada dua ahli waris. Satu adalah maniak kecepatan yang mendominasi arena balap, satu lagi adalah aktuaris genius yang mengendalikan arus modal. Keduanya berasal dari keluarga terpandang dan sifat mereka berbeda jauh. Namun, mereka tumbuh bersama sejak kecil dan menjadi satu-satunya sahabat sejati. Mereka pernah berebut perhatian seorang gadis, juga berselisih karena taruhan di arena balap. Namun, saat berusia 15 tahun, mereka sama-sama menggantungkan sebuah lencana tembaga di dada. Itu adalah hasil latihan ukiran tangan dari Mia di kelas kerajinan, dengan sebuah huruf "M" yang tergores di bagian belakang. Saat itu, Mia duduk di bangku paling belakang kelas. Tak seorang pun tahu siapa identitas dia sebenarnya. Namun, kedua laki-laki itu mengenakan lencana tersebut selama 10 tahun penuh. Entah itu saat berdiri di podium juara F1 atau saat mengetukkan palu pada investasi triliunan di bursa, lencana tembaga murahan itu selalu menempel di dada mereka dan tak pernah tergantikan. Sampai akhirnya muncul Ella. Putri kesayangan dari keluarga konglomerat baru. Ella menyulam sebuah emblem kain berhiaskan benang emas dan memberikannya kepada mereka. Kain itu cuma benda biasa yang mirip dengan pernak-pernik murahan yang dijual di pasar loak. Namun, mereka malah sama-sama melepas lencana tembaga itu dan menggantinya dengan kain murahan yang diberikan Ella. Mia tidak mengatakan apa pun. Dia hanya diam-diam menyimpan foto lama mereka yang tercetak di sebuah koran usang. Malam itu juga, dia menelepon ayahnya yang jauh di Sisilia. Nada bicaranya sangat tenang saat berkata, "Papa, aku menerima pernikahan politik ini."

No matter how hard she tried, Darius always met her with nothing but cold indifference. He forgot her birthday. Dismissed her achievements. Even their daughter turned her back on her, choosing Emma—the woman with a sweet smile and a heart full of lies. One glance from Emma mattered more to Darius than all the years she stood by his side. One whimper from Emma was enough to make him drop everything and rush to her like she was the only woman that ever existed. She waited. She gave her all. And in return, she was left behind—again and again. Even her own daughter stood with Emma now. So she finally made her choice. She left.

Or would she walk away forever, leaving behind the love that refused to die?
