When I was eight years old, Kieran Blackwood, Alpha of the Ironwood Pack, saved me from a rogue wolf den. He adopted me and said he would protect me for life. When I was twelve, I met Beta Ryan Cross. He treated me as her own sister and also promised to protect me for life. But later, these two men who swore to guard me forever pushed me into the flames with their own hands. All to please their childhood sweetheart. But when I ran away from Ironwood Pack, the Alpha and Beta both went crazy.

My family sold one of their properties to put me through school abroad. Nathan Kingsley and I had been together three years. Two of those were long-distance. Through those two years of me alone overseas, he never broke contact — airport pickups, long phone calls, every anniversary remembered. I'd never once doubted him. I thought distance hadn't beaten us. The day I flew home, he was waiting at Arrivals with a bouquet of flowers. He smiled and said, "Finally." We set the engagement date. We picked out the dress. We booked the reception. The day the wedding march began and I stood at the top of the aisle looking at him, I thought — these three years were worth every minute. Then the doors behind me opened. My sister walked into the chapel, in a white dress, and slid her arm through his. She smiled at me. "Sorry, sis. Those airport pickups? I'm the one who sent him. For the last three years, he's been mine the whole time."

PART 1 - NIKOLAI AND NOVA: Nikolai is the youngest brother of Kai and Konstantin Volkov. Since his torture and kidnapping, he's become a cold, distant shell of the man he used to be, making a name for himself as a Ripper. The only light in his life is Nova Lorelei, the mate he rejected while he was under the control of a demonic entity. But even as he yearns for her, he knows she's better off without him in her life. So he keeps to the shadows and watches over her. This worked out fine until he saw his mate being abused by another. Will Nikolai be able to keep his distance from Nova, or is the Mate Bond stronger than his willpower? ----- PART 2 - DIMITRI AND ARYA: Wracked with guilt at nearly killing his human mate four years ago, Dimitri Volkov let Arya go so she could live a normal life. He didn't feel worthy of a mate or happiness after almost killing her and betraying his entire pack, so he settled to living a life filled with blood and pain as his brother and Alpha's Lead Enforcer. A trip to Brooklyn changes everything for him when he finds his way onto Brooklyn Bridge only to see his mate about to commit suicide. He saves her again, but the Mate Bond Sighting clicks, and the traitorous Gamma finds himself in quite the position: reject Arya or accept what Fate has given him?

"Bu Santi Tania, apa Anda yakin ingin mengakhiri pernikahan dua puluh tahun ini dan menyerahkan hak asuh anak?" "Ya. Ajukan saja permohonan perceraian. Saya sudah memutuskan," ucap aku dengan tenang melalui telepon sambil menggosok noda minyak di meja dapur granit. Selama dua puluh tahun, aku telah menyerahkan seluruh hidup aku untuk keluarga ini. Aku mengurus segala urusan rumah tangga, memastikan pendidikan anak-anak berjalan dengan baik, dan selalu berada di sisi suami aku, mendukungnya hingga ia berhasil naik ke puncak karier di sebuah konglomerat besar tanpa ada sedikit pun keluhan. Tapi suami aku, Arif Winata, malah membawa adik perempuan angkatnya, Chintya Winata, ke dalam sebuah wawancara media, lalu berkata dengan lantang, "Kesuksesan saya hari ini semua berkat bantuan saudara angkat saya." Bahkan anak-anak aku sendiri pun merendahkan aku. Mereka menyebut aku sekadar ibu rumah tangga yang biasa saja dan kasar. Mereka pun lebih memilih berpihak pada “Bibi” Chintya, wanita yang selalu ada di rumah itu, seolah-olah dia adalah nyonya rumah yang sesungguhnya. Jadi aku menandatangani surat perceraian dan pergi meninggalkan mereka, membiarkan mereka menjadi "keluarga yang sempurna" seperti mereka inginkan. Namun, sejak kepergian aku itulah, keluarga itu mulai panik ….

All my life I lived in the shadows. A daughter of our pack’s Alpha confined to servitude in my own household, unfairly treated and punished for a wrong that didn't make sense. The night of my eighteenth birthday, my mate rejected me and took my twin sister as his mate. Having been on my wits end and not knowing where else to go, I fled away from our pack, but it was a wrong move because I was captured by a pack of rogue wolves whose leader turned out to be my second chance mate. He took me captive. Even knowing that we're mates, he kept on rejecting me. He considers my father his sworn enemy, making me, the spawn, his enemy, too. Until when could I endure the hatred he has for me?

When Caleb Kingston proposed marriage, I knew he did not love me. But as a woman who loved him secretly for years, I agreed to whatever scraps he could give me thinking that he could learn to love me in time. Three years into our marriage, I realized that I had been a fool chasing an impossible dream. A stubborn man like Caleb only loved once and she sure was not me. “She's back and she wants me. I do not want to ruin this chance for anything.” He told me, slapping a divorce paper my way. “What about our baby?” His scowl told me he was not happy that I sprung that news on him. “Abort it. Do whatever you want with it. I don’t care.” Was his callous remark. That same night, after signing the divorce agreement, I packed my bags and left with a promise that I will be back stronger to show this ruthless billionaire what he lost.
