Plot

I was eight months pregnant and had just gone into labor, but my Alpha mate, Damien, locked me in a silver cage in the basement to delay my labor. When I cried out for help, he just told me to wait. Because his late brother's mate, Victoria, was also giving birth that day. The Pack Seer had foretold that only the firstborn pup would be blessed by the Moon Goddess and become the future Alpha. "The title belongs to Victoria's child," he said. "She lost Marcus. She has nothing. You already have all my love, Elena. The silver cage will make sure you deliver after her." The contractions were torture. I begged him to take me to the clinic. He grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him. "Stop pretending. I should've known you never loved me. All you've ever cared about is wealth and status!" "To force your labor early, just to steal what belongs to my nephew… You're truly wicked." Pale and trembling, I whispered: "The pup is coming, I can't stop it. Please, I'll make a blood oath. I don't care about the inheritance. I only love you!" He scoffed."If you loved me, you wouldn’t have forced Victoria into that contract to give up her pup’s birthright. I'll come back for you after she delivers. After all, that's my pup in there, too." He stood guard outside Victoria's delivery room. Only after he saw the newborn pup in her arms did he remember me. He ordered his Beta to release me. But the Beta's voice trembled. "Luna… and the pup… they're dead." And in that moment, Damien went feral.

The princess of Oberlin City scorns the poor, and I'm the biggest thorn in her side—I live in squalor but am specially admitted by a prestigious college meant for the rich. "What right does a peasant like you have to study at the same college as me?" Nails appear on my seat, and the shampoo in my bathroom is switched to glue. Chantelle Gorman even daringly tries to ram me over at the campus entrance—all because I'm a poor young woman from the countryside. To survive, I set my sights on her father, a perfect gentleman. He's a domineering CEO who's never had a shortage of women in his life. It's too bad he has no other children besides Chantelle. Chantelle thinks I'm a piece of trash who'll get kicked to the curb after a night of pleasure, but she doesn't know how easily the women in my family conceive. I give birth to seven sons and a daughter for the domineering CEO. How can Chantelle possibly go up against me and my eight children?

Daddy brought me to Aunt Jenny’s party. As I was eating a piece of cake, I tasted a cherry between the layers and hurriedly spat it out. Once, I broke out in rashes after eating a cherry and nearly died, so I was deeply traumatized by that flavor even as a young child. However, Aunt Jenny looked heartbroken. “I hid a cherry in the cake as a little surprise, just like it’s good luck to get a bay leaf in a pie. How could you be so rude, Kenny?” Daddy did not even let me explain. He chased me out in the yard and made me stand there as punishment. Mommy said it had been more than a hundred degrees out lately, so she told me to stay home and not go out to play. Now I knew just how hot 104 degrees could be! My body was all itchy, too. I was finding it hard to breathe. I wanted to ask Daddy to forgive me, but he refused to open the door no matter how hard I knocked. He glanced at me coldly through the floor-to-ceiling window. He was not going to let me back in.

They are both wondering: Can they truly move on, or will the embers of their past reignite into something far more dangerous?

At three months pregnant, I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy. My husband, a doctor, was overwhelmed with worry, pulling every string he could to arrange surgery and remove the baby. "As long as you're okay, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have our own child. We can always adopt. I can't lose you, Evelyn!" Heartbroken, I blamed myself for being useless, for failing to carry our child, and for disappointing my husband. But then, I accidentally saw his chat messages with another woman on the phone. "Don’t worry, I already told her she had an ectopic pregnancy." "I’ll have her sign the adoption papers soon, then find a way to bring you into our home." "Asher is my only son. I will make sure he inherits everything I have!" That was when I realized that the husband I loved so deeply had long since built another family behind my back.

Bound together by a paper of contract called marriage, will genuine and unexpected love change the course of their fate?

Saat usia kehamilanku sembilan bulan, aku sudah ada di penghujung masa kehamilan, tubuhku terasa berat dengan bayi yang bisa lahir kapan saja. Tapi suamiku, Alexander Santoso, wakil kepala keluarga, justru mengurungku. Dia menahanku di sebuah ruang medis bawah tanah yang dingin dan steril, lalu menyuntikkan obat penahan kontraksi. Saat aku berteriak kesakitan, dia menatapku dengan dingin dan berkata aku harus menahannya. Karena pada saat yang sama, istri almarhum kakaknya, Elisa juga diperkirakan akan melahirkan. Sebuah sumpah darah yang pernah dia buat dengan mendiang kakaknya menyatakan bahwa anak laki-laki sulung akan mewarisi wilayah keluarga di Teluk Barat Jaya yang begitu menguntungkan. "Warisan itu milik anak Elisa," katanya. "Davin sudah tiada, dia benar-benar sendirian dan tak punya apa-apa. Seluruh cintaku tetap untukmu, Alana. Aku hanya butuh dia melahirkan dengan selamat. Setelah itu, barulah giliranmu." Obat itu membuat tubuhku terus-menerus tersiksa. Aku memohon padanya untuk membawaku ke rumah sakit. Dia justru mencekik leherku, memaksaku menatap mata dinginnya. "Berhenti berpura-pura! Aku tahu kau baik-baik saja. Kau cuma berusaha merebut warisan itu." "Untuk mendahului Elisa, kau rela melakukan apa saja." Wajahku pucat, tubuhku bergetar hebat. Dengan sisa tenaga, aku berbisik lirih, "Bayinya akan lahir... aku tidak peduli soal warisan. Aku hanya mencintaimu, dan aku ingin anak kita lahir dengan selamat!" Dia mencibir. "Kalau kau memang sesuci itu, kalau kau benar mencintaiku, kau tak akan pernah memaksa Elisa menandatangani perjanjian pranikah yang membuat anaknya kehilangan hak warisan." "Jangan khawatir, aku akan kembali padamu setelah dia melahirkan. Bagaimanapun, kau mengandung darah dagingku." Sepanjang malam, dia berjaga di depan ruang bersalin Elisa. Baru setelah melihat bayi itu di pelukan Elisa, dia teringat padaku. Dia akhirnya menyuruh tangan kanannya, Raka untuk membebaskanku. Tapi ketika Raka menelepon, suaranya gemetar. "Bos... nyonya dan bayinya... mereka sudah tidak ada." Di saat itu juga, Alexander hancur.

Zayn Ulrich and I have dated for seven years. However, when he's prosecuted and sent to prison, I leave him without hesitation. I turn to his best friend instead. Now, Zayn is out of prison. He rises from the ashes and uses every means possible to force me into marrying him. Everyone says he truly loves me, but no one knows the truth. Every night after our wedding, he brings different women into our bed, not even sparing my own sister. This is his punishment for my so-called betrayal. What he doesn't know is that I risked my life to clear his name—I willingly walked into a mafia hideout and traded one kidney and half my liver for the key evidence that saved him. Unfortunately, my time is running out.

"Doctor, have you finished the examination? I can't hold on any longer," I say as I lie on the examination table in the college clinic. A screen completely blocks my view. The examination instrument pokes a few inches deeper into me. I try my best to suppress it, but a whimper escapes me. "No!" The doctor remains silent and merely adjusts the machine so that my legs are lifted higher.
