"Fvck you. Get off me now!" He towers over me and his hands move under the covers, going higher and higher until I gasp. No matter how I want to push him away and stomp on his body, I can't. The heat and pleasure coming from his touch makes me go crazy. "Get off me, you dimwit." Through the heat, I force out words and I close my eyes as I moan when his lips descend on my neck, teasing and nibbling. "Oh goddess. Why won't you get off me." I try to push him off, in the mist of pleasure and he looks down at me with hooded eyes. My back touches the headboard when I shift backwards but he drags me back to himself by my ankle. "I am the King, Minerva. That means what I say goes." "Well, you can go fvck yourself or better yet, let your other mate do that for you." He climbs over me with his hands on each side of my head. Luckily, the heat is subsiding due to our close range. "I've told you a thousand time. I don't want you, I need you." "Fucker! I've told you a zillion times, I don't want to be your baby making machine, you stupid son of a mammoth-" He immediately shuts me up with a deep kiss, exploding my insides. ~~~~ It's every she-wolf's dream to be the mate of the wolf king but not Minerva's. She didn't plan to even know him, she didn't bargain to become a second mate, or a baby making machine to the King who has an unusual plan set up in his head; neither did she plan to be a hybrid. He finally found a way to break her... But they were so unconcerned about the brewing evil.

Ani pa ng mga taong nakapalibot kay Sereia Lilou Rebeiro, siya na ang pinaka - maamong babae na umaaligid kay Adriel Latimer. Animo’y para siya isang aso na panay sunod ng sunod sa kanyang amo kung saan ito magpunta. Bakit nga ba? Isang araw, nang mag - check - in sa isang mamahaling motel si Adreil ay sinundan niya ito. Hindi siya nag - aalinlangan na kumatok sa pinto na inupahan nito. Mas gusto pa niyang sundin ang kanyang kagustuhan, at ang rason kung bakit siya sumunod? Para lang bigyan ito ng payong dahil sa masamang panahon. Nakatikim siya ng bulyaw dahil lang doon. Sinabihan pa siya ng walang hiya pero wala siyang pakialam. Mas importante sa kanya ang makitang nasa magandang kalagayan ang iniingatan niyang babaero ng campus. Sa kabila ng masama nitong reputasyon sa mga babae, naging bingi at bulag siya. Mas gustuhin pa niya na makasama ito kaysa makinig sa mga haka - haka ng mga tao. Pinadaan lang niya sa kabilang tainga ang naririnig niyang tsismisan, kahit na minsan ay parang may isang palaso na nakatarak sa kanyang puso. Hanggang sa isang gabi, isang katotohanan ang siyang kumakatok sa isipan ni Sereia. Nahinuha na lang niya na ang lalaking inaantay niya ng tatlong taon ay nagbago. Hindi na ito katulad ng dati, na parati siyang inaalo - alo at sinasamahan. Dala ng reyalisasyon, tinalikuran niya ito ng walang pasabi. Imbes na tatahimik na ang buhay niya ay kinukutya pa siya ng mga tao. Ani pa nila'y nagpapakipot lang daw siya. Isa na roon si Adriel. Tingin niya ay gusto lang ni Sereia na suyuin niya ito para bumalik siya sa kandungan nito. Pero napawi ang agam - agam ni Adriel noong isang araw, aksidenteng nahulog ang pitaka ni Sereia. Bumungad sa kanya ang isang litrato ng lalaking minsan na niyang iniiwasan.

"Pick up…. pick up… please" When the call did not get through, I burst into tears. The killer was now banging the door violently. “Inspector Kenneth speaking” Uncle Ken’s voice came through and right at the same the killer made a whole in the door by his continuous banging. "Uncle Ken, he's here, he is going to kill me…." I stated this in a panicked, horrified tone. “Zara, darling, we were going to have some fun why did you called the police?” he said in a cold tone bringing out his silvery knife. A shudder rushed down the spine. However, I maintained my composure. "You are over now," I said, trying to mask my terror. "Tsk, tsk, tsk, not yet…." He answered and raced towards me. What happens next???

Sabi nila, isa raw sa magagandang araw sa buhay ng isang babae ay ang maikasal sa lalakeng mahal niya. Pero hindi ako. Dahil iniwan ako ng lalakeng nangako sa akin na sasamahan ako habang buhay sa mismong seremonya ng aming kasal. Iniwan niya akong nag-iisa sa altar at mas pinili ang nakababata kong kapatid. Hindi lahat ng kasal ay masaya. Isinumpa ko ang araw  na iyon at nangako sa sariling maghihiganti. Pero paano pa ako makapaghihiganti kung namatay ako mismo sa araw na iyon?
