Once There Was An Ugly Barnacle

Nagpakasal ako sa lalaking tinatawag na pangit at inutil ng aking pamilya, pero tagapagmana pala at isa sa pinakamayamang tao sa Pilipinas. *** Nakahandang ibenta ni Rosita ang sarili sa mababang halaga, mabayaran lang ang utang ng mga taong itinuring na niyang mga magulang. Pero inalok siya ng limang milyong piso ng matandang nakabili sa kaniya. Ang kapalit? Pakasalan niya ang anak-anakan nito. Kapalit ang malaking halaga ay pumayag si Rosita na pakasal sa estranghero. Ang hindi niya alam, ubod ng pangit ang lalaking kailangan niyang pakasalan. Wala siyang nagawa kundi pumayag sa kasal at ibigay ang sarili sa pangit na lalaki, pero hindi ang kaniyang puso. Sigurado siyang hinding-hindi niya mamahalin ang katulad ni Sixto na pangit na nga, utusan pa sa Villa Hernandez. Dumating sa buhay niya si Hanz Concepcion—guwapo, simpatico, haciendero at gusto siyang agawin mula sa pangit niyang asawa. Paano kung ang inaakala nilang patay na—magbabalik bilang pinakamayaman at isa sa pinakaguwapong lalaki sa bansa? Titibok na kaya ang puso ni Rosita para sa asawa? Paano kung may ibang babae na pala sa buhay nito? Nakahanda ba siyang ilaban ang pagiging asawa niya—lalo pa't may anak sila?

That moment when you are being stood up by your lover on your special day.

You believed that if you were obedient and loyal enough, your Alpha would one day choose you and mark you as his own. But at the ninety-ninth ceremony, that illusion shattered. That night, you only wanted to be wanted once. So you slept with a stranger. However, you didn't know who he truly was. He was the Alpha King. And when he finally found you, everything changed. This time, you weren't chosen. You were claimed.

ห้าปีก่อน... เขาเป็นเพียง "คนรักในมหา’ลัย" ที่เธอเลือกจะจากไปอย่างไร้คำลา ห้าปีให้หลัง... เขากลับกลายเป็นมาเฟียผู้มีอิทธิพลที่สุดในวงการ — และวันนี้ คนที่เคยทำร้ายหัวใจเขา กลับต้องมาฝึกงานในบริษัทของเขาเอง "คิดจะหนีฉันอีกเหรอ ภัทร?"

“You wear my mark,” the Alpha King growled, fingers tightening around Nyra’s wrist as the bond flared painfully between them. “But you are not my mate.” Across the hall, the woman beside his throne smiled, her borrowed bite glowing faintly against her skin, while Nyra’s shadow burned beneath her clothes, answering a call no lie could silence. Nyra Vale was cast out as a wolfless omega, betrayed by her lover, erased by her pack, and condemned for a mark she never meant to wear. But the bite on her shoulder belongs to Rhaegon Ashmoor, the Alpha King who claimed her in darkness… and was deceived into crowning another. As a false Luna ascends the throne, the real mate awakens something ancient and forbidden within Nyra, an inheritance powerful enough to shatter kingdoms and drive an Alpha mad with hunger. A stolen mark. A hollow bond. And a mate who refuses to kneel.

Omega Lilian Grey spent years quietly longing for Alpha Morgan Garren, the powerful and irresistible leader of the Blue Moon Pack. Her secret love remained hidden until one fateful night a drunk Morgan crossed the line, and their mutual passion ended in a one-night stand. However, things started to get complicated when Lilian found out that Morgan was her true mate. Morgan rejected the mate bond for one reason—she had a cursed bloodline. Afraid that she would bring the plague and destruction to the pack, Morgan kicked her out even after knowing she was pregnant. Lilian rebuilt herself from a weak and lowly omega to a successful businesswoman in the city. While Morgan was dislodged in his position as Alpha of the pack and lost his memory due to an accident. Years later, fate brought them together once more. Morgan, filled with regret, stood before her, pleading for forgiveness and begging for a second chance at the life he once refused. But Lilian is no longer the heartbroken Omega he once scorned. Now strong, confident, and in control of her destiny, she must decide if the man who abandoned her and their child deserves forgiveness—or if her greatest victory lies in leaving the past behind.

The biggest mistake I had ever made was falling in love with my Alpha stepbrother, Cayden Gates. I was 12 when my mom remarried, and he was the only one in the new pack who treated me kindly. I fell for him at first sight. When I was 16, I was attacked by rogue wolves, and he fought off ten of them alone to protect me. At 18, he was poisoned by silver. He nearly died. That was when my wolf told me he was my fated mate. Without hesitation, I donated my bone marrow to save him. That night, watching him asleep with a pale face, I couldn't help but kiss the corner of his lips. He opened his eyes at that exact moment, his face flushing red. "Tessa, we're siblings. You shouldn't cross that line." From then on, he started avoiding me, like I was a mistake he couldn't afford to make. His fiancée, Rosie Lloyd, had been diagnosed with a rare blood disease, and I was the only compatible donor. For the first time, he pleaded with me. "If you're willing to save her, I'll agree to anything." But I was already weak from the marrow transplant. Giving blood again might kill me. I said no, and Rosie died in the end. He didn't shed a single tear, like nothing had happened. But at her funeral, he smashed the portrait I'd painted of him in front of everyone and said coldly, "How filthy of you to dream of being with your own brother." Later, I became a disgrace, a walking joke. Humiliation and despair swallowed me whole, and in a haze, I fell into the lake and drowned. When I open my eyes again, I'm back at the moment he begs me for blood. I say yes calmly. I consider it the final debt I owe the Gates family. Cayden, from now on, we're done. There are no more ties between us.

"Lapastangan!"galit na wika ni haring Dracon at sinampal ng napakalakas si Veska "Patawad,ngunit mahal ko siya." Pangangatuwiran parin ni Veska. "Hindi mo pwedeng mahalin ang isang mababang uri na katalud niya!!! Siya ay alipin ng ating lahi! Isang malaking kahihiyan ito sa lahat!"madiing wika ng Hari. "Kahihiyan? Kung ganoon kahihiyan din ba ang batang dinadala ko sa aking sinapupunan ngayon?! Wika ni Veska halos lumubog sa galit ang hari sa kanyang narinig. Hindi tanggap ng Hari na isang alipin lamang ang mapapangasawa ni Veska. Ayon sa kanya isang malaking kahihiyan sa kanilang angkan na ang isang prinsesa o Prinsepe ay makikipag-isang dibdib sa isang mababa ang uri o ang tinuturing nilang alipin. Kumbaga isa lamang itong batas na ayaw suwayin ng hari.
