Crecí fuera del país y, para evitar que volviera con un novio extranjero, mi mamá me arregló en Ciudad de México un prometido de ensueño: Gabriel Méndez, el carismático CEO del Grupo Méndez. Regresé para nuestra fiesta de compromiso. La boutique de alta costura olía a flores blancas y cuero nuevo. Entre maniquíes impecables, encontré el vestido perfecto: un strapless largo color marfil, limpio como una promesa. Ya iba a probármelo cuando, a mi lado, una mujer alzó la barbilla, le echó un vistazo a lo que traía y le dijo a la vendedora: —Ese vestido está interesante. Tráemelo a mí. La asesora me lo arrebató con brusquedad. Se me calentó la cara. —Todo tiene un orden —dije conteniéndome—. Ese vestido lo vi primero. ¿Aquí ya no existe el “primero en llegar, primero en ser atendido”? La mujer me miró con pereza, sonrisita de superioridad. —Ese vestido cuesta veintiséis mil dólares. ¿Tú, con esa facha, puedes pagarlo? —chasqueó la lengua—. Soy la protegida de Gabriel Méndez, CEO del Grupo Méndez. En esta ciudad, la razón la pone la familia Méndez. Gabriel Méndez… ¿no es mi prometido? Saqué el celular, e hice una rápida llamada. —Tu “protegida” me acaba de arrebatar mi vestido de compromiso. ¿Cómo piensas resolverlo?

3 years ago, I faked a pregnancy to steal half a million dollars from my mate. I felt as if I didn’t have any other choice as I had to pay my brother’s ransom or let him die. Now, I would rather die than spend another day being treated with icy, bitter resentment. My name is Rachel Flores and I rejected my alpha mate because I’m ready to live, not just survive! *** "Who are you?" I came awake with a jerk, disoriented and aching all over. A heavy male body lay beside me---we were both naked except for the sheet covering our bodies. Embarrassment stained my skin bright red. I searched my memories of the night before, trying to figure out how I had gotten here while attempting to wrap the sheet around my body. I stopped when I realized I'd leave my bed partner totally nude. My skin felt too hot and too tight as I tried to work out how to get myself out of the situation. I wasn't used to being around naked men even if I was a werewolf. We cared about propriety no matter what humans thought! I remembered myself saying over and over, "I'm your mate!" I eased myself off the bed to look for clothes. I tried to be as quiet as I could so I didn't wake up the stranger. I didn't take the sheet to spare his decency, instead sacrificing my own modesty: I'd rather be caught naked than have to face a naked man I'd evidently seduced with all the subtlety of a bitch in heat! His scent was all over me, all over everything really. Rich and masculine...

The night before my mating ceremony with Alpha Garrett Northwood of the Silverpine Pack, he held a grand Luna ceremony for my silver-poisoned stepsister behind my back. He held Serena close under the starlit sky, his smile tender in a way I'd never seen: "You're the only one I truly love, Serena." "Even though Maya and I are already registered as mates with the Alpha Council, she'll never have my heart. You're the only one I recognize as my Luna." The pack members cheered and blessed them as they completed the ceremony with joy. I watched it all without crying or screaming. Instead, I quietly scheduled an abortion appointment. I've loved Garrett Northwood for twelve years, ever since I first shifted as an adult. But his heart still only had room for my stepsister Serena. If that's how it was, I'd let go. Later, I joined the secluded Herbal Research Center of the Alpha Council. I left Garrett nothing but a mate bond dissolution agreement. But for some reason, Garrett—who had always treated me with disdain—suddenly went crazy begging me not to leave.

When a mysterious stranger named Thorne confronts young Calla Merin with questions about a "pack" and a heritage she doesn't remember, Calla is thrust into the hidden world of werewolves. She quickly learns she's the last descendant of two legendary bloodlines—and her rare golden wolf form marks her as the fulfillment of a prophecy that some would kill to prevent. Thrust into the Moonveil pack, Calla must master her newfound powers while navigating deadly pack politics. But she's not alone—her best friend Maya harbors her own supernatural secret, and together they face the challenge of building crucial alliances between packs who have been isolated for generations. As the Shadow Covenant emerges from the darkness with enhanced soldiers and sinister plans, Calla must learn to wield the Golden Wolf Network—an ancient power that connects allied packs but also makes her a target. With enemies infiltrating their ranks and time running out, she faces an impossible choice: master abilities that could destroy her from within, or watch everyone she loves fall. Because someone out there knows what she is… and they're hunting the Golden Wolf.

“It was supposed to be fake… until it wasn’t.” Elena Ramirez was never supposed to catch Adrian Harrington’s attention — billionaire CEO, untouchable, and dangerously charming. One moment, she’s a struggling intern juggling bills and caring for her younger sister, Maya… the next, she’s signing a contract that turns her entire world upside down. The deal is simple: pretend to be his girlfriend. No feelings. No complications. No lines crossed. But Adrian Harrington doesn’t do simple. One gala. One stolen glance. One soft touch that lingers too long… and suddenly, the line between pretend and real begins to blur. The media calls her a gold digger. Socialites like Clara Vance want her gone. Paparazzi stalk her every move, and Elena finds herself drowning in a world of secrets, lies, and scandals she never asked for. And then — the contract leaks. Every signature. Every clause. Every proof that her “relationship” with Adrian is nothing more than a carefully staged performance. Now the entire city is watching, waiting for her to break. But Elena refuses to be their victim. Because somewhere between the chaos and the cameras, Adrian’s cold walls are cracking… and the one thing more dangerous than pretending to love him is realizing she actually might. Fake dating. Real feelings. Endless betrayal. Some lies build empires. Others break hearts.

"Look at me properly and try to remember." He implored her, his silvery eyes boring into hers. Maya raised her nervous eyes to meet his. Searching her head, she tried to remember where she may have met this man before. As she stared at him, a sense of familiarity began to settle. Those eyes... she'd seen them before. Where has she seen them? One by one, the images came. The pictures from a time she had forgotten. She had helped someone with eyes just like this. Still in his embrace, a daunting realisation began to set in. She'd met this man before. Long before he even dreamed of being a king... **************** A tyrant king conquers a kingdom so he can get married to her forgotten princess. People expect a marriage filled with strife and everything but none of that happens. Instead he treats her right, worships her and kisses the very ground she walks on. Why is that? People wonder. The reason is quite simple. Years ago, the same princess had saved his life from the bitter hands of death when he was betrayed by his half brother, the crown prince of Madonia.

Pembantu di rumahku mengklaim dirinya sebagai wanita mandiri generasi baru. Setiap hari, dia mendorongku untuk menjadi lebih independen. Memintaku mencuci baju, memasak, dan merawat anak. Dia bahkan menyarankan agar aku bercerai dengan suamiku. Belakangan, aku menyadari bahwa dia ternyata seorang influencer. Tanpa seizin dariku, dia membuat serangkaian video yang menjelekkan diriku dengan tema "melatih istri manja," lalu mengunggahnya ke internet. Bukan hanya itu, dia juga mencuri perhiasan dan pakaian dariku. Setelah aku memecatnya, dia malah menyerangku di dunia maya dan menuduhku sebagai wanita yang membenci sesama wanita, tetapi bersikap baik terhadap lelaki. Lebih parah lagi, seorang penggemar fanatiknya berhasil menyusup ke rumahku dan memberiku racun pestisida dalam air minumku. Dalam kehidupan kedua, aku kembali ke hari di mana aku pertama kali mengetahui bahwa dia memiliki akun dengan jutaan pengikut. Kalau dia memang suka siaran langsung, aku akan membuat semua orang melihat wajah asli dari "wanita mandiri" ini.
