Hard Times Make Strong Men

A burglar breaks into our home, taking my mother-in-law and me captive. He stabs my mother-in-law's eyes, blinding her. Then, he slices her tongue and strips her, even putting on a live stream to air the whole thing. He claims that he'll auction my mother-in-law's organs if we can't pay the ransom of ten million dollars. The live stream infuriates the Internet, and everyone starts searching for my husband, the city's wealthiest man. No one knows he's on a luxury cruise ship, holding an engagement ceremony with his childhood friend. He snarls, "What a dumb excuse to trick me out of my money! I'll burn the money for them when they're dead!"

Napakarami na ng problema ng bayan ng Garapal dahil sa bilang ng mga krimeng nangyayari ngunit parang mas malaki pa yata ang problema ni Ruanne. Nais lang naman ni Ruanne na makalimot sa pangangaliwa ng nobyo niya na sa kaaway pa niya napiling makipaglandian. Ngunit ang taksil niyang puso ay hindi umaayon sa gusto ng kanyang isip. Sa gitna ng kanyang pagmomove-on ay nakilala niya si Pio, ang isa sa mga staff ng sikat na tindahang 'The Shoemaker'. Ang 'The Shoemaker' lang naman ang pinakasikat na tindahan ng sapatos na mayroon lamang isang branch na nakapuwesto pa sa tapat ng boutique ni Ruanne. Ito lang din naman ang magiging kalaban ni Ruanne kung sakaling simulan niya na ang kanyang shoe line. At ang tahimik na buhay ng binatang nag-aasikaso nito ay mabubulabog dahil sa alok ni Ruanne na maging pekeng kasintahan niya na siya namang tinanggap agad ng binata. Ngunit sa pagsunud-sunod ni Ruanne kay Pio, may malalaman siyang hindi dapat. At matatagpuan niya na lamang ang sarili niyang sinusunod ang lahat ng gusto ng binata, maging sa ibabaw ng kama. At hindi lang iyon, mapapasok niya pa ang delikadong mundo ng mafia.

Lucia had never believed in rebirth. She had read about it a few times in books tucked away on her shelf, but she never imagined it could be real. Yet, here she was—reborn. This time, she swore she wouldn’t let kindness be her downfall. She would make them pay. Her so-called best friend and husband had used her, drained her of everything, and left her with nothing. They manipulated her, deceived her, and when they had no more use for her, they poisoned her—leaving her to suffer in agony for over a year. What a vile couple. On the night of her death—her own birthday—they stood before her, laughing as they confessed their betrayal. They had taken everything from her, and now, they wanted her to know the full extent of their cruelty. Her husband and best friend, her supposed confidants, had been lovers all along. Worse, they had killed her true mate. Lucia had wept until there were no more tears left to shed. Too weak to fight, too broken to scream, she watched as they reveled in their wickedness, even making out right in front of her as she lay dying. That night, amidst a raging storm, Lucia took her last breath. But when she opened her eyes again, morning light streamed through the window. "Is this heaven?" she whispered, confused. A familiar voice answered. "Lucia, you’re awake! Let me get the doctor!" Brittany exclaimed before rushing out of the room. In that instant, Lucia knew the truth. She had been reborn. And this time, she would make them pay—for everything they did to her and her family.

Five years of waiting for a miracle, and Sierra is finally pregnant—but not by her husband. The child she carries belongs to Caelan, the powerful CEO… and the most feared Alpha werewolf. Now, her body is changing, her dreams are haunted by a golden-eyed wolf, and Caelan has come to claim her. "You're carrying my child. And you… you can't run from me!"

On my 20th birthday, my father hosts a dinner for our allied families. He lifts his glass with a smile and turns to his old friend, saying, "It's time my principessa chooses a husband from your sons." Without hesitation, I choose the youngest—Salvatore Carlo. Everyone is stunned. After all, I'm Estella Vinci, the eldest daughter of the Vinci family. I was born into wealth and power, with a father from a long-established Virellian mafia family and a mother from Montavira's ruthless DeNucci bloodline. And yet, I was hopelessly in love with Giovanni Carlo, third son of the Carlo family. In my past life, I got exactly what I wished for. I became his wife. He got what he wanted too. With my father's power, he became the heir of the Carlo family. But after we got married, my adopted sister Eleanor Vinci became his mistress. When my father found out, he was furious. He sent her far away in marriage to Norland. From that day on, Giovanni hated me with everything he had. He drowned himself in nightclubs, night after night, always bringing home women who looked just like Eleanor. He let them mock me and humiliate me. On my birthday, one of them poisoned my cake. I died with hatred in my heart at eight months pregnant. Now that I am reborn, I decide to let them have each other. But the moment I choose Salvatore, Giovanni loses his mind.

First, I’m still wolf-less at 18. Second, my bloodline might be tainted. And my last issue comes in the form of two alpha heirs: Cillian O’Ryan. Future Alpha of the Blue Blood Pack. Tall, athletic, and ruggedly handsome. The golden child and most sought after alpha heir among all wolf bloods. Then there’s Andrei Romanov. Future Alpha of the Korol Volkov Pack. Tall, lithe, and sinfully stunning. Descendant of Russian royalty. And just like his family, he is full of power, enigma, and secrets. One is my fated mate and the other my chosen one. One is my savior and the other needs me to save him. One stole my first kiss. The other asked me to be his wife. One wolf is my calm, and the other is my mayhem. My entanglement with these two alpha heirs has been both a blessing and a curse. Moon Goddess, are you having fun yet?
