Hidden Ruins: Chapter 3

My name is Salem Harpen. I'm eighteen years old. And I am the last member of my pack. The day I was born, my pack was secretly attacked, and many of them were killed. My grandmother was lucky enough to escape with me into the depths of the forest. For eighteen years, my grandmother and I have been dwelling secretly in the forest. Old age had soon taken over her, and she was not strong anymore. The day she was taking her last breath She made me make a promise to never leave our secret place. One day, I had to. There was no more prey to hunt, and I was slowly dying of hunger. I had to leave our secret place to survive. Seeing the outside world of the forest for the first time, I was scared. I swiftly searched for enough food to return to my safe place, but unexpectedly, I was captured by a pack of wolves for hunting on their land without any permission. As someone new to the outside world, I was clueless about such a rule. They chained me up and carried me away to be punished by their alpha. I cried. Was I the end of my entire pack?

I was a pack slave but my identity wasn't normal. I chose to run away from my pack when the cruel Alpha of our pack discovered my identity. He was a nightmare. Another name for assault, abuse and torture. Women in his pack were just his fun thing, a toy for him to play with or tear apart and I refused to be one. I refused to be exploited by him. But to get away from him, I needed someone stronger than him. And then I met a stranger who could help me. I never thought that a destined mate did exist in this world. Until I felt his soothing scent, he was my destined mate. The one chosen by the moon goddess for me. However, I never thought that I couldn't even tell him that I was his mate when I heard his words. "Then what will you do if you ever find your mate?" his Beta asked. "I will strangle her to death with my own hands" he gritted bitterly. That's it...! I kept my body, my fragrance, and everything else from him, but fate had other plans for us. Regardless of the distance, we reconnected, and I heard something distinct from what I had heard previously. "You are mine...! Only mine...! I will never let you go..." Is he the same man I met before? I was confused as I thought about what he had said. Before I could think about it any further, he stepped forward, gripping me in his embrace and kissed me aggressively. Was that because he recognized me as his mate or it is because he discovered that I was the descendant of the legendary Divine bloodline whom he had been searching for, who could save his family? ****** Please do leave a review...

Rayne Valen is determined to prove that being born the daughter of an Alpha doesn’t mean she can’t lead her pack. Disguised as a boy, she enrolls in Blackmoon Academy, an elite training ground for future Alphas, with a single goal in mind: to claim her birthright. But what she didn’t expect was Lucian Wolfe—an Alpha so powerful, so magnetic, that even the toughest recruits are intimidated by him. When fate forces them into close quarters as roommates, Rayne’s resolve is tested. Lucian’s presence is impossible to ignore, and his keen instincts seem to be uncovering secrets Rayne is desperate to keep hidden. But as the tension between them escalates, so does the undeniable attraction they share. Now, Rayne must navigate the dangerous balance between proving her worth as an Alpha, keeping her identity a secret, and fighting the pull of a forbidden attraction that could destroy everything she’s worked for.

She is the girl he’ll never forget and he is the boy she can’t remember. Eros Adler’s job is simple: kidnap the girl, bring her to the dark forest, kill her, and hide the body where no one, especially her father who is the Night Walkers Alpha, will be able to find. The reality is far different than his expectation. Getting romantically involved is not in his plans - especially not with the person you are supposed to kill. But there’s just something irresistibly powerful about Val, even if her fiery, no-nonsense personality annoys him to no end. Leave it to Eros to kidnap the Alpha’s daughter; leave it to Val to capture the criminal’s heart. ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Valeriya Sinclair is blessed with a second chance: she is rebirthed and comes back to the age of twenty.

But can she resist the explosive attraction between them long enough to make this union actually work? ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊ Book 3 of The A.R. Were World Series. Can be read as a stand-alone.

Narnia Melpomene Alvarez—ang tinaguriang "rebelde" na kakambal ni Urania, ayon sa kaniyang tiyuhin na si Luis Grimaldi. Buong buhay niya, iisa lang ang kanyang layunin: ang makamit ang hustisya para sa kanyang mga magulang, anuman ang kapalit. Sa murang edad pa lamang, buo na ang kanyang loob na ipaglaban ito, kahit sariling buhay ang isugal, lalo na para sa natitira niyang pamilya—ang kakambal niyang si Urania. Kaya’t hindi na nakapagtataka nang sumali siya sa isang lihim na grupo na konektado sa underground society. Alam niyang delikado ito, pero iyon ang tanging paraan para maabot ang matagal niyang pinapangarap. Ngunit isang gabi ang nagbago ng lahat—isang gabing ginulo ng hindi inaasahang estranghero. Ang pagtulong niya kay Zuhair Eros Smith ay tila isang maling hakbang na hinding-hindi niya makakalimutan. Bigla na lang napasok si Eros sa buhay niya—isang lalaking misteryoso, mapang-asar, at puno ng mga lihim. Wala sa plano ni Narnia ang pagbukas ng kanyang puso para sa sinuman, lalo pa’t hindi niya lubos kilala ang lalaking tila may koneksyon sa kanyang madilim na nakaraan. Hanggang saan ang kaya niyang isugal para sa pangako niya sa kanyang pamilya? Paano kung ang taong nagbubukas ng pintuan sa pagmamahal ay isa ring susi sa kasinungalingan? At paano kung ang laban para sa hustisya ay makasira sa pag-ibig na unti-unting namumuo? Ngayong nagbabanggaan ang kanyang puso at prinsipyo, kailangan niyang pumili: ipaglaban ang nakaraan o tanggapin ang pagmamahal na dala ng lalaking hindi niya sigurado kung kaibigan o kalaban.
