I was being sold. I shuddered. Whoever would buy me… “Raise your number again, and I will rip out your throat.” Whoever it was, they were violent. I heard a hiss of pain and gasps around the room. Soon after, I was dragged off the stage and down the hall again. Then, I was tossed onto something soft like a bed. “I’m going to untie you now, okay?” “You smell so good…” he groaned and placed a hand on my thigh. “What’s your name?” Staring at the two twins in front of me, I cannot find a word to say. They even told me about a world beyond my understanding. “You’re a hybrid. There are things you need to understand about our world before we take you back to the pack.

What she wanted was to have an ordinary and normal life. But it seems like destiny had written something different and twisted for her. Almene was about to marry the man she loved. It was the day she was looking forward to and what lies for the both of them ahead. Ngunit tila siya binibiro ng tadhana nang maaksidente ang kanyang fiance sa mismong araw ng kanilang kasal. To make things worse, nalulong sa sugal ang kanyang ama mula nang mamatay ang kanyang ina at hinahabaol na ito ng pinagkakautangan at pinagbantaang ipapakulong kapag hindi nabayaran ang kabuuang halaga. Walang nagawa si Almene kundi ang puntahan ang taong pinagkakautangan ng kanyang ama, who turned out to be Lideon Ambrose Martin, a ruthless billionaire and notorious playboy who owns one of the biggest casinos in the metro at siyang may-ari rin ng casinong kinalulungan ng kanyang ama. Nakiusap siya ritong bigyan siya ng kaunting palugit para mabayaran ang utang. She didn’t expect the debt to be ten million pesos though. Sa kabila ng pakiusap niya ay hindi man lang naawa si Lideon sa kanya. Instead, he gave her a proposal – and that is to stage a marriage in paper only – bilang kabayaran sa pagkakautang.

The day I win the cheerleading championship, the entire arena erupts with cheers for my team. But from the stands, my brother, Nelson Locke, hurls a water bottle straight at me. "You injured Felicia's leg before the performance just so you could win first place? She has leukemia, Victoria! Her dying wish is to become a champion. Yet you tripped her before the competition, all for a trophy! You're selfish. I don't have a sister like you!" My fiance, who also happens to be the sponsor of the competition, steps onto the stage with a cold expression and announces, "You tested positive for illegal substances. You don't deserve this title. You're disqualified." All the fans turn against me. They boycott me entirely—some even go so far as to create a fake memorial portrait of me, print it, and send it to my doorstep. I quietly keep the photo. I'll probably need it soon anyway. It's been three years since I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Knowing I don't have much time left, I choose to become the type of person they always wanted me to be—the perfect sister who loves without question, the well-mannered woman who knows when to keep quiet, and the kind of person who never, ever lies.

I, Ginny Tremaine, have a written agreement in my mate contract with Tyler Kingsley, the chairman of the Werewolf Council. As long as I proposed to him 99 times first, he promised to personally show up at the Office of Werewolf Mate Affairs on the 100th time and complete our marking ceremony. However, Tyler doesn't show up on the promised day and instead appears on the main stage of the Silvernight Music Festival with his lover, Vivian Lowe. In the livestream watched by the entire pack, he leans down and kisses her so intimately that it's practically a declaration of ownership. The social media networks instantly erupt with excitement. "#ChairmanOfTheWerewolfCouncilOfficiallyRevealsMate." "Chairman of the Werewolf Council caught kissing his lover and showing PDA." At the same time, I become a trending search for standing in front of the Mate Affairs office for the 100th time. Everyone speculates about the identity of the mystery man who never showed up and wonders if I will try for a 101st proposal. Tyler, likely feeling guilty, promises me the next day, "Next time, I promise I'll be there on time." He arrives in a crisp suit with papers in hand, standing outside the Mate Affairs office. But all he receives is a short message from me, saying, "Alpha Tyler, there won't be a 101st proposal. We're truly over."
