Phantom Falls

For ten years, I bled for my fated mate, Damian. I forged him into an Alpha. I built his pack from nothing. But on the eve of our Blood Moon ceremony, he chose her. He made his first love, Isla—the one who abandoned him—the High Priestess. Not me. He thought I was just some rogue with a knack for magic. He thought he could drain my power, cast me aside, and claim Isla as his true mate. But he forgot who I am. I brokered the treaties. I negotiated the trades. I built the wards that kept them all alive. He and his pack hailed Isla as their savior. They groveled at her feet. They tried to get rid of me. Their plan? Force me to escort a demon to the Abyss of Exile. But he never knew my secret. I'm no rogue. I am the youngest daughter of the Alpha King. I am royalty. So I gave them what they wanted. I walked away. They only started to panic when my wards shattered and their lands were overrun.

Para gumaling ang sakit ng kapatid, ibinigay niya ang sarili sa isang kakaibang lalaki. Makalipas ang isang taon, sa isang party kasama ang mga kaibigan ng kanyang bagong boyfriend, idiniin siya ng lalaki sa dingding ng banyo. Ikinawit niya ang gilid ng pantalon nito gamit ang mga daliri, "Sa kama niyan noong isang taon, 68 beses mong tinawag ang pangalan ko." Ang ilan ay nasa hindi matiis na sakit, at ang ilan ay galit na galit na humihingi ng awa. "Maling tao ang nakilala mo, hindi pa kita nakikita." Si Isabella ay tumakas sa gulat at bumalik sa kahon, ngunit hinila siya ng kanyang kasintahan sa lalaki, "Ang uri ng gamot na makapagliligtas sa iyong kapatid ay magagamit lamang ni Master Nicklaus." Ibinaba niya ang kanyang postura at malungkot na nakiusap: "Master, please." Ipinasok ni Nicklaus ang sigarilyo sa kanyang bibig, kinagat ang dulo gamit ang kanyang mga ngipin, na may malamig na mukha at isang malamig na puso, ngunit ang kanyang mga mata ay sumalo sa kanya at hinila siya pabalik sa kabaliwan ng gabing iyon. Ang abo ay pumasok sa kanyang nakalaylay na kwelyo, at si Isabella ay nanginginig sa init, ngunit hinawakan ni Nicklaus ang kanyang kamay at hinila siya palapit. "Marami akong gamot, ano gusto mong palitan?"

WARNING RATED SPG... Si Geraldine ay isang sikat at magaling na undercover agent na walang misyong hindi natatapos.

Ngunit sa mundo ng pagkakanulo at panganib, kailangang pumili ni Geraldine: ang sundin ang kanyang tungkulin bilang isang agent, o ang panindigan ang pagmamahal niya sa lalaking kinamumuhian ng organisasyong kanyang pinagsisilbihan. Mapapanindigan ba nila ang pag-ibig sa kabila ng dugo at kasinungalingan? O magwawakas ang lahat sa digmaan ng katapatan at kapalaran?
