The night before the marking ceremony, Joanna Grant kills my father by running him down with her car. At the same time, my fiance, Samuel West, breaks the pack's betrothal agreement and asks to end our engagement. The next day, Samuel and Joanna show up at the marking ceremony that was meant for me. With the entire pack as their witnesses, they pray to the Moon Goddess for her blessing. Just then, I arrive at the ceremony with the surveillance footage from the crash, demanding that Joanna pay with her life for what she's done to my father. Joanna is arrested by the Alliance guards, yet I am exiled from the pack and cast out as a Rogue. Out on my own, hunted and mauled by wild beasts, I am rescued by the Alpha of the Redmoon pack, Alexander Rowe. He saves me when I'm on the brink of death and then proposes to me, pulling me out of hell itself. But after two years of marriage, I overhear a conversation between Alexander and his Beta, Marcus Hale. "Alpha, you forgave Joanna in the Luna's family's name and helped secure her release. If this ever comes to light, the Alliance will arrest you, too." "She'll never know," Alexander says. "Joanna has served a year in prison. That's enough. She deserves the chance to move on and find happiness." So, the marriage I think saves me turns out to be Alexander's carefully planned trap all along. I decide it's time for them to pay the price.

Adam Smith, Ceo of Smith enterprises, New York's most eligible bachelor, was having trouble sleeping since a few weeks. The sole reason for it was the increasing work pressure. His parents suggested him to get another assistant to ease his workload. Rejection after Rejection, no one seemed to be perfect for the position until a certain blonde-haired, blue-eyed girl walked in for the interview.

Surely an innovative way to greet someone and say goodbye to their chance of getting selected but to her surprise, she was immediately hired as Mr. Smith's assistant. Even though Adam Smith had his worries about how she would handle all the work as she was a newbie, all his worries faded away when she started working. Always completing the work on time regardless of all the impossible deadlines. An innovative mind to come up with such great ideas. She certainly was out of this world. And the one thing Adam Smith didn't know about Kathie Patterson was that she indeed didn't belong to the earth.

My name is Emma. At 31, I am doing well for myself. I’ve got a great job. Or at least a well paid job, my boss loves me, and my girlfriends think I’m great. More important than anyone's opinion is that of my housemate, and best friend in the world, Scott. Scott thinks the world of me and always tells me to be myself. So why do I feel the need to lie outrageously on dates? From rock-climbing to Muay Thai: when it comes to prospective boyfriends, I am compelled to embellish my C.V. with unlikely porkies that alwaysbackfire - with hilarious results. I have Craig to blame for that - he really shattered my sense of self-confidence and self-worth. But then I turn the spotlight on Scott, and he wishes he'd never brought it up. With a penchant for checked shirts and Harry Potter-style specs, I decide he needs a makeover and to experience the abysmal dating world. My friendship with Scott began in the most unconventional way. His past life had made him homeless and isolated, but he saved me. And now we are inseparable. My dating disasters began when my relationship with he-who-must-not-be-named ended. Waking up with a pounding head, a dry mouth, aching limbs and a random arm draped over my waist, I struggle to get up and then stumble to the bathroom. I rubbed my eyes and stare at the hungover, half dead panda eyed loser staring back at me. What started out as a lighthearted challenge with Scott, became something more. We were prepared. But nothing could prepare us for the surprise results! Before long, I realise that our lives will never be the same again.

Setelah mengalami keguguran lima kali berturut-turut, akhirnya aku konsultasi ke dokter untuk menanyakan alasan mengapa tubuhku tidak mampu mempertahankan janin. Namun, sebelum masuk ke ruangan pemeriksaan, aku mendengar percakapan suamiku dengan dokter di depan pintu. "Obat aborsi yang kamu berikan cukup manjur. Dia sudah keguguran lima kali. Kapan bisa dilakukan operasi pengangkatan rahim? Aku nggak bisa membiarkan Kirana mengandung anakku," ucap Raka. Dia melanjutkan, "Oh ya, tolong resepkan juga obat penguat kandungan untukku. Maya sedang mengandung anakku, aku harus memastikan bayi itu lahir dengan sehat." Dokter berkata, "Tapi kondisi tubuh Kirana sudah sangat lemah selama beberapa tahun terakhir. Kemungkinan besar dia nggak akan pernah bisa hamil lagi." Raka malah menanggapinya dengan santai, "Memangnya kenapa? Justru aku memang mau dia nggak pernah bisa punya anak, makanya aku selalu membuatnya keguguran." "Sudahlah, nggak usah bahas ini lagi. Aku masih harus menemani Maya membeli perlengkapan ibu dan bayi," lanjut Raka. Aku mendengar semua percakapan itu di balik pintu, tubuhku terasa dingin. Aku baru sadar ternyata cinta yang selama ini kupertahankan hanyalah sebuah lelucon.

"Di ko siya jowa. Di ko siya crush. And yet, I let him do things to my body." Sabi nila, ang pinaka-masakit na heartbreak ay hindi ‘yung iniwan ka—kundi ‘yung never ka namang pinili in the first place. Nakatayo siya sa dulo ng reception hall, hawak ang baso ng alak habang pinapanood ang lalaking minahal niya ng matagal… na masayang ikinakasal sa iba. Kitang-kita niya kung paano nito tinititigan ang babae—isang titig na kailanman ay hindi niya natanggap. Masakit. Pero imbes na magmukmok, Cass did what any heartbroken girl would do—nagpakalunod sa alak. Kung hindi na siya ang pipiliin, edi dapat kalimutan na lang, diba? Kahit isang gabi lang. At dahil lasing na lasing siya, she made a reckless decision—she had s*x with a stranger. No names, no backstories. Isang taong hindi niya kilala. Pero paggising niya kinabukasan, mas matindi pa sa hangover ang sumalubong sa kanya. Ang lalaking nakasama niya sa kama? Hindi lang basta kung sino lang— Anak ng teteng! He’s the cousin of the man she had loved for years. Napatayo siya agad, hinatak ang kumot sa katawan, pero ngumisi lang ito. "Easy ka lang," he chuckled. "Last night, you were like a needy cat—clinging, pressing against me. Ngayon, parang gusto mo akong itulak sa bangin.” Nanlamig siya sa kahihiyan. Pero mas lalo siyang natulala sa sunod nitong sinabi— "Kung gusto mong kalimutan siya, I can help you. Pero hindi lang isang gabi. Hanggang sa hindi mo na maalala ang pangalan niya." Tatanggapin ba niya ang alok nito? O lalabanan ang tukso ng matamis na kasalanan?

I thought I was the Conti family's "legitimate wife." Until the day I saw it with my own eyes, my husband, Christian, resting his hand on my stepsister Emma's bump belly, gentle like he was cradling the future. Everyone told me to be "big-heated": when the baby was born, they'd put it under my name, make him call me Mom, because the family needed an "heir." Even the private doctor they hired announced it in front of everyone—steady heartbeat, and from the ultrasound, it looked like a boy. I didn't cry and didn't make a scene. I just picked up the phone and told my lawyer to initiate the divestment. Twenty-four hours later, Christian's cards were frozen, his projects got their loans yanked, and assets started getting seized— That's when he finally understood: he hadn't betrayed a wife. He'd betrayed the lifeline of the entire family. But what I really wanted to know was— When he dropped to his knees and begged me to come back, would I tell him— I had already picked out his grave?

After two years of marriage, I believed I was living the dream—until the day I gave birth to our long-awaited heir. The house was filled with joy as my husband's family arrived, bearing gifts and ready to bestow a name upon our child, as tradition dictated. But the happiness of the day shattered in an instant when my husband walked in, hand in hand with his childhood sweetheart. In front of everyone, he announced not only our divorce but also his engagement to her, as if I had never mattered. *** "I’m divorcing Stacy," Jason announces, his voice unwavering, "to marry Nicole Cruz, my childhood sweetheart." He points to the woman standing before him who smiles and waves at everyone in the room. My world tilts on its axis. The words echo in my mind, louder and louder until they drown out everything else. What is going on?? "But why?" I whisper, my voice barely audible, even to myself. I'm unable to believe his betrayal. Jason doesn’t even glance at the child in my arms. "Because this has been a long time coming, Stacy. I’ve only stayed this long out of obligation and not love." Important Author’s Note: This is a rewritten version of my book The Alpha’s Betrayal: Reclaiming His Rejected Luna. From Chapter 12 onward, the story takes a new turn with fresh twists and drama. Thank you for reading—I hope you enjoy this new version!
