Isang matapang na dalagang negosyante si Ysabella Cruz na handang gawin ang lahat para mailigtas ang pamilya nila sa pagkakautang—kahit pa ang kapalit ay isang kasunduang kasal. Ang catch? Ang lalaking papakasalan niya ay si Mayor Alaric Dela Vega—bata, makapangyarihan, at misteryosong lider ng kanilang bayan. Hindi inaasahan ni Ysabella na ang lalaking minsang tumulong sa kanya noong kabataan pa sila ay siya ring magiging "asawa" niya ngayon—ngunit sa papel lamang. May sariling dahilan si Mayor Alaric kung bakit pumayag siya sa kasunduan: kailangan niyang mapanatili ang imahe niyang "settled" upang matuloy ang pagtakbo sa mas mataas na posisyon sa pulitika. Ngunit habang lumilipas ang mga buwan sa ilalim ng iisang bubong, unti-unting nabubura ang hangganan ng kasunduan. Sa pagitan ng mga scripted na halik sa harap ng kamera at mga gabing puno ng katahimikan, may damdaming unti-unting nagigising. Hanggang kailan sila magtatago sa likod ng kontrata? At kapag dumating ang oras ng pag-pirma ng annulment papers, sino ang unang aatras—ang pusong natutong magmahal o ang pusong takot masaktan muli?

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!

It all started when Athena opened the back door of the coffee shop to a mysterious but handsome man in a wheelchair. Athena always thought that she was just an ordinary person.

But I want to mark you, I want to claim you, I want to make you mine.” Drake lay down beside me, I lay on my side so that I am facing him. He rested his head on his right hand as he looked down at me, eyes filled with so much affection. "I want you to be my Luna," my heart skipped a beat upon hearing him say these words. “But I know that it's not possible right now,” there was a hint of sadness in his voice but when his eyes lock into mine I see no sign of sadness, instead, it was filled with so much hope."That's why I want to make a proposal,” my breath hitches as I wait with so much anticipation as to what he has to say. "Let me claim you in a different way. Let me make love to you.”

Him: I'll do anything to be with her. Since the day I saw her those are my thoughts. Every fucking seconds she's on my mind. I tell you she's a witch. My witch! I grunt at my own thoughts.

The first few times I tried to ignore it but the more I tried to ignore it the more she's pulling me towards her. But what say she's not even glancing at me. I guess I have to do something that would make her look at me. Her thoughts should be surrounded by me and for that I have to do something. If only she knows the things that I wanna do with her. She will run away from me but like hell I would allow that to happen. Wait and watch baby girl soon tomorrow you will be mine. You're mine to fuck, mine to hold and mine to do every single thing!! Only mine!! I will lock you in my cage forever' See you soon baby girl.
