My father adopted Seraphina, the daughter of an Omega servant who died trying to save us. In less than a year with the Blackwood family, she became everyone's precious darling. Not only did my father treasure her like a gem, but even my mate and my brother started favoring her over me. When Sera accidentally dropped my mother's heirloom necklace into the fire and it burned to ash, Father said we should let the past stay in the past. He threw away everything that belonged to Mother. Even the anti-silver antidote I developed to honor my mother's memory—she died from silver poisoning—Sera wanted to take that away from me too. To force me to hand over my research to Sera, Damien—my childhood sweetheart and future mate—even threatened to cancel our mating ceremony. However, when I stopped fighting with Sera and left home forever, they went crazy.

Jess and her boyfriend spends the evening in a library arguing with a stranger if vampires and werewolves were real. Apparently, Jess believes they are real while her boyfriend and the other guy believes they aren't. The night is far spent so Jess and her boyfriend decides to retire to their home. They had walked quite a distance when Jess remembered that they didn't have the boy's contact. Determined to prove him wrong in future by a research she planned on carrying out about werewolves later on, Jess goes back to the library in search of him, despite her boyfriend's disapproval. Jess is shocked to find the boy who had argued all night with her that werewolves do not exist, transform into a werewolf. Apparently, it was the full moon and he came out at the wrong time. The wolf grabbed her before she could escape; At that moment, her life took a drastic turn, that she would have never imagined. A werewolf said: Werewolves are not real.

I give up being with my family and follow my boyfriend, Leon Burton, to a research institute in the harsh land of Aetheris, just to take care of him. One day, he discovers an asteroid. According to the law in our country, the person who discovers an asteroid holds the right to name it. Without even stopping to think, he says, "I'll name it Phoebe." Everyone is stunned. Naming an asteroid is a significant event, but Leon makes his decision too hastily. The person in charge asked again, "Are you sure you want to name it that?" Leon nods without hesitation. Standing in a corner where no one can see me, I can't stop crying. Only I knew that "Phoebe" is the name of his first love, Phoebe Jones. Wiping away my tears, I call my mother. "Mom, I've decided to marry Nathan. I'm leaving Aetheris."

When my fiance's student argued with me, she knocked over a gas cylinder and caused an explosion. As the fire spread, my fiancé rushed into the lab wearing a gas mask. However, his priority was to carry his student to safety. As he left, he said, "Wait for the rescue team! A teacher should treat their students like how a parent treats their children. If something happens to Amanda, you don't deserve to be a teacher!" In the end, I inhaled too much toxic gas and died, never having waited long enough for the rescue team to arrive. Since I was the only one who had mastered the core data of the lab, no one could take my place. This meant that five years of hard work in the lab were destroyed, and Astran University was kicked out of a global research project. Later, William, the once esteemed professor of Astran University, became a pariah—someone whom everyone scorned and reviled.

On my 18th birthday, my triplet brothers adopted a fifteen-year-old orphan girl. To make their newly adopted sister happy, Matthew gave her my coming-of-age gift, Daniel sent away the dog that had grown up with me because she was allergic, and William coldly told me to get out of the house and stop making their little sister upset. I didn't say another word. I just packed my bags and left. They all thought I was just throwing a tantrum and would be back in a few days. My three brothers canceled their busy work schedules to take the orphan girl abroad to relax her nerves. They went to see the Northern Lights in Alaska – the place I had always dreamed of visiting. Many days later, when they returned from their vacation, they suddenly learned that I had volunteered for a twenty-year medical research mission in a remote frontier. I would never be coming home again. That night, they fell apart.

The prophecy about the apocalypse of the wolf clan is gradually fulfilled when all the werewolves in the world suffer from a strange disease, or the ancients think it is a deadly curse. And 18 years ago, Alina was born; she was the only one who miraculously resisted the strange disease. The same unique ability brings countless troubles to Alina's life when she becomes the target of werewolves hunted across the continent. Alina's beloved father and her pack had to sacrifice to protect her. Alina flees everywhere and is captured by Alpha Elmer; she accidentally becomes a test subject. Ironically, on the night of her 18th birthday, Alina discovered Elmer was her mate. However, there are too many misunderstandings between them. Can Alina accept someone who sees her as an experiment? And Elmer, comparing love with Alina and his pack, how will he choose? Will he protect her amidst the stalking of bad guys? Or will Elmer choose to sacrifice Alina to serve his research goals?

On the day of our engagement, just because Madison Calder wants to eat the ravioli my fiance Nicholas Olsen made, he decides to leave without hesitation. I can't help but try to stop him, but he slaps me across the face. "It's just an engagement party—we can have another one. What if Maddy starves?" Even my brother Brandon Lewis scolds me for being unreasonable. "You're older than Maddy. Can't you be more understanding?" I say nothing more and choose to let go and leave. They think I'm just throwing a tantrum and ignore me. They even clear their schedules just to take Madison on a vacation. It isn't until half a month later that they think to contact me, only to discover I have already joined a classified government weapons research program that will last ten years. Moreover, I have decided never to come home again. They completely panic.

Sudah hampir sekitar 2 minggu proses pencarian dilakukan oleh tim penyelamat yang dikerahkan oleh Joe untuk mencari Angel, Samuel dan juga anak perempuan Jordi yang tak lain adalah Draniela. Angel dan Samuel melompat ke laut untuk menyelamatkan Draniela yang terjatuh dari kapal pesiar. 10 unit Helikopter dan 20 unit kapal penyelamat turun ke TKP untuk mencari mereka bertiga. Bahkan, komandan dari tim penyelamat menambahkan 10 unit Helikopter lagi untuk ikut serta dalam proses pencarian tersebut. Tapi tetap saja, tanda-tanda dari mereka bertiga belum juga terlihat sampai sekarang. Joe dan yang lainnya sudah di kembalikan ke pantai untuk menghindari hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan. Lalu, Helikopter unit 5 mendarat di pinggir pantai. Melihat itu, Joe, Chelsea dan yang lainnya langsung berlari menghampiri Helikopter yang baru saja tiba. “Pak! Bagaimana? Sudah ada tanda-tanda dari teman saya!?” Tanya Fanny dengan raut wajah yang tampak cemas. “Pak! Bagaimana dengan anak saya!?” Tanya Desya. Tapi, seorang dari tim penyelamat yang baru saja turun dari Helikopter itu tidak menjawab sepatah katapun. Dia hanya menggelengkan kepala dengan raut wajah yang sedih. Melihat itu, Fanny langsung lemas dan terduduk di tanah dengan wajahnya yang mulai memerah dan seketika, air matanya menetes.

Pada saat malam jum’at kliwon, Aulia berjalan mendekati Lemari yang berada di sebuah kamar kosong di lantai 2. Umurnya masih sekitar 9 tahun. Dengan rasa penasaran yang menggebu-gebu, akhirnya dia berniat untuk membuka lemari itu. Tiba-tiba, “Jangan! Jangan di buka lemari itu Non Aulia!” “Loh, memang nya kenapa bu Sari?” “Pokoknya jangan non! Tolong jangan! Dan cepat anda kemari sebelum semuanya terlambat non! Cepat!!!” Seorang pembantu yang bekerja dirumah nenek Aulia mencoba menahan Aulia untuk tidak membuka lemari itu. Tapi, “Brakkk!!!” Pintu lemari itu terbuka dengan sendirinya tanpa disentuh sedikitpun. Suasana menjadi mencekam. Angin malam tiba-tiba berhembus kencang, padahal kamar itu sama sekali tidak memiliki jendela. Lalu, sepasang tangan yang penuh darah menarik Aulia masuk kedalam lemari, “Non Aulia!!!” “Brakkk!!!” Aulia masuk kedalam lemari itu dan pintu dari lemari itu tertutup dengan sendirinya. Angin malam yang tadi berhembus, sekarang menghilang. Seketika, lemari itu menjadi lemari biasa. Aulia yang tadinya masuk kedalam lemari, sekarang menghilang tanpa jejak sedikitpun. Lemari itu kembali menjadi lemari yang dipenuhi dengan baju-baju yang dimiliki oleh neneknya Aulia.

Hari ini, adalah hari yang sangat mengharukan. Dimana, tepat ketika tetesan air hujan mulai turun, aku di lahirkan ke dunia ini. Tangis bahagia memecah keheningan malam. Semua orang menyambut hangat kedatanganku. Namun, di setiap pertemuan, pasti ada perpisahan. Ayahku mengalami penyakit yang sangat serius pada saat itu. Tepat setelah Ayah mencium keningku yang mungil, ia pun menghembuskan nafas terakhirnya.
