Joseph Simon Araneta Marcos

The fear of intimacy prevented Lisa from being in a love relationship with any men, hence she never gave much thought about how she would be falling in love with someone until she met Joseph, a surprisingly good-looking but mean billionaire who changed his girlfriend on a three-monthly basis. Fate was often conceived as inevitable -though fate arranged two individuals encounter and brought two people together, but personal happiness depended on you. It was a love game two can play, but it was not a well-matched race between the master and the beginner. Even so, what else can you do? You need to keep playing until either the sides win or one's heartbroken.

The mate bond ceremony had barely ended when Simon Thompson, Alpha of the Moonshade Pack, suddenly shoved me aside. "I picked up a human girl at the border. There's a storm tonight. I need to go stay with her." My head buzzed. "If you've already decided I'm your fated mate, why are you seeing her now?" He stood up and pulled on his clothes. The bite mark I had left was still visible on the side of his neck. "Tanya, I love you. But life is long. I need something fragile like that once in a while to feel something new." My throat tightened. "So on our mate bond night, you're dumping your Luna to sleep with a human?" "Well, technically, the ceremony is already over," he corrected me, then bent down and pinched my cheek. "You're the pack's Luna now. You should be more generous." "And if I can't be?" It was as if he had been waiting for that. He smiled. "Then we sever the bond. Just know you might end up exiled as a lone wolf. Think it through, yeah?" I collapsed onto the messy bed. Simon's scent still lingered in the air. Outside the window, the full moon that had witnessed our vows looked unbearably ironic.

Sobrang mahal na mahal ni Maxene ang kanyang nobyo na si Joseph at sa pitong taon nilang magkasintahan ay kahit kailan ay hindi siya nagawang lokohin nito at talagang napapag usapan na rin nila ang pagpapakasal. Pero hindi inaasahan ni Maxene na darating ang araw na lolokohin siya ni Joseph kaya naman sa sobrang sama ng kanyang loob ay sa isang bar siya napadpad. Dahil sa labis na sama ng loob ay nagpakalasing si Maxene at doon siya matatagpuan ni Bernard. Naibigay ni Maxene ang kanyang sarili sa binata dahil sa ang buong akala niya ay ito ang kanyang nobyo pero isang pagkakamali pala iyon. Kaya naman pagkagising niya ay agad niyang tinakasan ang lalaking kanyang nakaniig. Lumipas ang araw at doon na nalaman ni Maxene na nagbunga ang isang gabi na pakikipagtalik niya sa hindi niya kilalang lalaki. Halos gumuho ang kanyang mundo dahil kasabay noon ay isang masamang balita ang bumungad sa kanya dahil sa pagkalugi ng kanilang kumpanya. Isang offer ang darating kay Maxene pero ganon na lamang ang gulat niya ng makita niya na kamukhang kamukha ng kanyang ex boyfriend ang mag aalok sa kanya at doon na niya malalaman na tiyuhin pala ito ng kanyang ex-boyfriend na si Joseph. At doon na rin niya napagtagpi tagpi na ang lalaking ito ang kanyang nakasama sa isang mainit gabi. Tatanggapin ba ni Maxene ang offer na iyon ni Bernard gayong alam na niya na tiyuhin ito ng manloloko niyang ex boyfriend? Sasabihin ba niya rito ang tungkol sa pagdadalantao niya gayong hindi niya alam kung tatanggapin ba ito nito? O iiwas na lamang siya rito dahil parang hindi niya kaya na makasama ito lalo na at kamukha ito ng kanyang ex-boyfriend na si Joseph?

A week after my engagement, I was delivered an unusual engagement gift. My phone chimed. I glanced down and saw a push notification from a social app. [Fell in love with a female livestreamer right before my engagement. I feel guilty toward my older girlfriend who's about to become my fiancée—how should I deal with this?] The user ID was "SimonLovesClaire." The profile picture showed a melancholy side view of a man wrapped in a gray scarf. I recognized him instantly. It was my fiancé, Simon Aldrich. That limited-edition scarf was the birthday gift I had given him last year.
