Jade was found in the aftermath of a rogue attack and taken in by a nearby pack as a servant. She is told that her parents were likely some of the rogues, and as such she is treated as worse than worthless her whole life. One day, she snaps and has enough of her treatment, earning herself a death sentence. When a mysterious stranger rescues her and claims to be her mate, Jade realizes that her past may not be as simple and vague as she was led to believe.

When he sees a girl in danger during a visit to River Bed pack, he steps in and saves her. When he finds out the girl is his mate, and that she is sentenced to die in a few days, he takes drastic action to get her away from her evil pack and to the safety of his lands. But when he gets his mate home, he finds that they have more history than he thought: Jade is none other than the fallen alpha of Mystic Moon's daughter. But when both Elliott and Jade have no memory of the specifics of the attack, they realize a greater plot may be at foot here, and Elliott is--for the first time in his life-- left wondering if he alone is strong enough to face it.

In my last life, my brother Leo—the heir to the Moretti crime family—stripped our estate bare of every last soldier, all for a Vegas jaunt. All because his new flame, Scarlett, had a jones for the high-roller tables. The Volkovs—our rivals, the very ones Leo had just pissed off—saw their opening and stormed our gates. My mother, Sofia, took a bullet meant for me. Died protecting me. I blew up Leo’s phone, my pleas turning to screams. He didn't answer. He waltzed back in after the shooting stopped, bringing our men home, but far too late for it to matter. Then, the news from Vegas. Scarlett was gone. A suicide note left behind. In it, she painted me as the monster. The one who’d leaked our weaknesses to the Volkovs. The one who'd orchestrated a fake kidnapping and torture plot, all to drive her to despair and lure Leo home. A perfect, tragic lie. Leo read the letter calmly. Then he burned the letter and told me, "Forget it. It's handled." Father tore into Leo for abandoning his post, for leaving his family to die. And me? I was named the new Consigliere. But after the celebration, Leo cornered me in the wine cellar. His face was a mask of cold fury as he pressed the barrel of his gun to my forehead. "This is for family traitors," he hissed, his voice pure venom. "The throne is my birthright, not some backstabbing bitch's prize!" When I opened my eyes again, I was back. Right in the middle of the fire and the blood. This time, I shoved my mother behind me, dragging her toward the panic room. And the bastards who were too blind to believe me? They’ll regret it.

Saat aku berusia tujuh tahun, wanita cantik yang dibawa pulang oleh ayahku memberiku sekotak mangga. Hari itu, sambil melihatku menyantap mangga dengan lahapnya, ibuku membubuhkan tanda tangannya di atas surat cerai, lalu melompat dari gedung untuk mengakhiri hidupnya. Sejak saat itu, mangga menjadi mimpi burukku seumur hidup. Oleh karena itu, di hari pernikahan kami, aku berkata kepada suamiku, Edwin Faresta, "Kalau suatu saat kamu mau cerai, kasih saja aku buah mangga." Suamiku memelukku tanpa mengucapkan sepatah kata pun. Namun, sejak saat itu, mangga juga menjadi hal yang tabu bagi dirinya. Pada malam Natal di tahun kelima pernikahan kami, teman masa kecil suamiku meletakkan sebuah mangga di atas meja kerjanya. Hari itu juga, suamiku mengumumkan pemutusan hubungan dengan teman masa kecilnya, Rani Delana dan memecat Rani dari perusahaan. Pada hari itu, aku merasa bahwa dialah pria yang memang sudah ditakdirkan untukku. Hingga setengah tahun kemudian, aku kembali dari luar negeri setelah berhasil menegosiasikan kontrak kerja sama senilai dua triliun. Di pesta perayaan itu, suamiku menyodorkan segelas minuman kepadaku. Setelah aku meminum setengahnya, teman masa kecil suamiku, yaitu wanita yang dulu diusirnya dari perusahaan itu, berdiri di belakangku dan bertanya sambil menyeringai, "Apa jus mangganya enak?" Dengan wajah penuh rasa tidak percaya, aku menoleh ke arah Edwin, suamiku. Namun, Edwin justru menahan tawa dan berkata, "Jangan marah ya. Rani bersikeras memintaku untuk mengerjaimu sedikit." "Aku kan nggak kasih kamu buah mangga. Aku cuma kasih kamu sebotol jus mangga saja." "Lagi pula, menurutku Rani benar. Kamu nggak mau makan mangga itu cuma karena kamu banyak tingkah aja." "Lihat sendiri, 'kan? Tadi kamu meminumnya dengan sangat senang." Wajahku langsung menjadi dingin. Aku mengangkat tangan dan menyiramkan sisa jus mangga itu ke wajah pria itu, lalu berbalik pergi. Ada beberapa hal yang selamanya tidak akan pernah menjadi bahan candaan. Mangga bukan sekadar lelucon dan niatku untuk bercerai juga bukan candaan.

After the video exposing my sister Issa Acosta’s plot against me was revealed, my parents and my fiancé, Henry Nolan, stood firmly by my side, making me feel loved and safe. I confidently handed over all the evidence to them, trusting them to handle it. However, they told me that after Issa was kicked out of the house, she died in a sudden car accident, and I believed them. That was until five years into my marriage, when I accidentally saw Issa—the woman who was supposed to be dead. She was holding a little boy, clinging tightly to Henry’s hand. "Henry, if it weren’t for you and my parents, I’m afraid Zoe would’ve thrown me in prison. Thankfully, my parents destroyed the evidence and even opened a jewelry design studio for me. To avoid suspicion, you even sacrificed your own marriage. Thank you for everything in the past five years.” "Think of it as me atoning to Zoe on your behalf. As long as you and Bear are happy, that’s enough for me." So, what I thought was a happy family was nothing more than a giant lie—a scheme concocted by my parents and Henry. My parents, my husband, and Issa were the real family, and I? I was just the fool who had been deceived for five long years. Whether it was family or love, none of it was real, and I don’t want any of it anymore.
