Novel Serena

Serena Hale thought she had it all: three years of love, trust, and memories with the man she believed was hers forever. That changed the night she walked into Damien’s apartment and found him with her step-sister, Lila. ​The betrayal cut deeper than she ever imagined. But the true heartbreak came when her parents told her the cruel truth. They had known all along, and they had chosen Lila over her. Their family was bankrupt, and the Crowe family offered a way out. But there was a catch: Serena had to marry their son. He was a man rumored to hate women and cursed with a mysterious illness that might take his life early. ​Forced into a marriage she never wanted, and shamed in front of her family and the world, Serena vows she will not beg for love. She will not crawl for respect, and she will not be a tool for others to use. ​But what happens when the man she is forced to marry is nothing like the monster the rumors promised? And what happens when the betrayal that broke her becomes the fire that makes her unstoppable? ​Betrayal. Power. Revenge. A love she never asked for.

They threw her into the rain—pregnant, bleeding, powerless. Her husband watched. Her best friend smiled. His family laughed. They called her worthless, barren and useless. They were wrong. Serena lost everything that night: her baby, her dignity, her life as she knew it. But from the ashes of that betrayal, she rose as someone they never saw coming, the secret heiress to a billionaire empire, now the most powerful woman in the country. Marcus begged for the contract that would save his failing company. He got it along with a new boss. His ex-wife. Now she owns everything he has. His business. His assets. His future. Marcus is begging for mercy. His mother is ruined. His sister is in prison. Sarah is forgotten. And Serena? She's just getting started. With Ethan Ashford, the most dangerous billionaire who caught her when she fell and refuses to let her go—at her side, Serena is untouchable. The Wellingtons destroyed the wrong woman. Now she'll take everything they love, piece by piece.

I was the pack's chief healer and my mate was just an ordinary warrior. Everyone thought we were not a good match, but I didn't mind. I accepted his proposal without hesitation. But on my mating ceremony, my mate's ex-girlfriend Serena suddenly came in with a little boy. The little boy hugged Marcus' legs and called him daddy. I thought it was some kind of scam. But when Marcus saw the child's mother, his face went pale. Then he showed an expression I'd never seen before—pure adoration—as he scooped the boy into his arms. "Let's cancel our mating ceremony. I need to mark Serena first and raise the child with her. Don't worry. Even though I'm marking Serena, my heart belongs to you." He thought I loved him so much that I chose to be his second mate. He didn't expect that I would just calmly contact my childhood friend Alpha Dominic. "My mating ceremony is all set up, but I'm missing a male lead. Would you be willing to come mark me?"

Rejected. Burned. Forgotten and left to die. Serena was nothing more than an omega in the shadows—until disaster befell their pack and kills her mother. They saw her as cursed and reduced her to a slave. The first daughter of the Alpha king. Her mated Alpha whom she loved so much, rejected her publicly and chose her sister as his Luna. Her father ordered her execution by death in the fire. They thought the flames would consume her. But the fire doesn’t kill a phoenix. It awakens her. Now, Serena has returned—reborn with powers no pack has ever seen, cloaked in mystery, chosen by the moon goddess and bound to a darkness that answers only to her. She’s not back for love. She’s back for vengeance, revenge. But when fate ties her to the Lycan prince with secrets of his own, she is armed with power and authority. She could choose to go solo and destroy everything in her path as she returns to Bluemoon Pack for revenge or she could give herself to this new found burning desire that could destroy her. Serena is here to stay and no mated Alpha can take what rightfully belongs to her. Not when the moon goddess has not ordained it.

Hindi inakala ni Franny Harlow na magiging kanyang trabaho ang pagiging nanay-tatay (nanny)—lalo na para kay Enzo Westbrook, ang walang awa na bilyonaryo na kilala sa pagiging malamig, katulad ng imperyo ng bakal na kanyang itinayo. Ngunit dahil sa dumaraming utang at kailangangi alagaan ang kanyang anim na taong gulang na anak na lalaki na si Mason, kumuha siya ng trabahong ito at determinadong panatilihing propesyonal lamang ang lahat. Matagal nang isinarado ni Enzo ang kanyang sarili sa mundo, dahil sa kalungkutan dulot ng trahedyang pagkawala ng kanyang asawa. Ang tanging iniisip niya ay ang kanyang limang taong gulang na anak na babae na si Sophie, na hindi na nagsasalita mula nang mangyari ang aksidente. Ngunit nang pumasok si Franny sa kanilang buhay, lahat ay nagbago. Nagsimulang ngumiti muli si Sophie, naging bunsong kapatid na lalaki ni Sophie si Mason, at hindi inaasahang nahulog si Enzo kay Franny. Ang mga lihim na tingin at mahabang paghawak ay unti-unting naging damdaming hindi na nila maaring balewalain. Ngunit ikakasal na si Enzo kay Victoria Langley, isang babae na perpektong umaangkop sa kanyang mundo—ayon sa papel. At si Franny, na hindi pa rin nakakalimot sa kanyang nakaraan, ay ayaw niyang maging lihim na kasintahan ng sinuman. Kapag sumiklab na ang damdamin at lumitaw na ang mga tinatagong emosyon, kailangang gumawa ng desisyon si Enzo: manatili ba siya sa buhay na puno ng tungkulin at pagkakasala, o ipagsugal ang lahat para sa babaeng nagbigay-buhay muli sa kanyang puso?

Si Ivan Alejandro Montenegro ay isang matagumpay na negosyante na lihim na nagtatag ng sarili niyang kumpanya—isang imperyo na walang nakakaalam, kahit ang sarili niyang pamilya. Nasa rurok na siya ng tagumpay at handa nang magsimula ng bagong buhay kasama ang babaeng mahal niya, nang isang trahedya ang sumira sa lahat. Sa isang malagim na aksidente, nawalan si Ivan ng kakayahang makalakad. Kasabay nito, nawala rin ang respeto ng kanyang pamilya at ang pagmamahal ng kanyang fiancée na agad siyang iniwan nang makita ang kanyang kalagayan. Isa-isa ring kinuha sa kanya ang lahat ng proyekto at responsibilidad sa kumpanya, na para bang wala na siyang silbi. Sa desperasyon na mailigtas ang apo, kumuha ang matanda ng isang caregiver mula sa probinsya—si Ayesha Dela Cruz, isang simpleng babae na may matapang na puso at hindi natitinag sa sungit ni Ivan. Sa kabila ng malamig na pagtanggap nito, pinili ni Ayesha na manatili at alagaan siya, kahit paulit-ulit siyang itaboy. Dahil sa nakakalason na kapaligiran ng mansyon, dinala si Ivan sa probinsya kung saan nagsimula ang kanyang paghilom—hindi lamang sa katawan kundi pati sa puso. Sa katahimikan ng lugar at sa malasakit ni Ayesha, unti-unti niyang natutunang magtiwala muli, harapin ang sakit ng nakaraan, at muling lumaban sa buhay. Ngunit habang siya ay nagpapagaling, lihim din niyang binubuo ang plano ng kanyang pagbabalik. Hindi alam ng kanyang pamilya na ang lalaking kanilang minamaliit ay siya ring may hawak ng tunay na kapangyarihan. Ngunit sa gitna ng kanyang paghihiganti, may isang tanong na mas mahalaga kaysa sa kayamanan o kapangyarihan: Pipiliin ba ni Ivan ang galit… o ang pag-ibig ng babaeng naghilom sa kanyang pusong wasak?
