Handsome, moody, and reclusive, billionaire Alpha werewolf Dane Wiltshire is confined to Vukasin, a secluded but pleasant internment island for werewolves where humans are allowed to visit for only three weeks a month (the fourth week is that of the full moon, when werewolves run rampant and no human is safe). The proud Dane meets his match during a chance encounter with the stubborn and willful middle-class human, Adara Huntington. She’s attracted to his handsome looks but put off by his Alpha arrogance. Nevertheless, she embarks on a love affair with him. But it ends when he breaks the heart of her sweet and beloved sister, Fawna, by dissuading his best friend Edin from marrying her, suggesting the sisters are social-climbing gold diggers. Things worsen when one of the island’s enforcement officers, the boyfriend of Adara’s other sister Emmalina, tells Adara how Dane stole the woman of his dreams, later causing her death. All of this is enough to make Adara despise Dane and avoid him at every opportunity. And yet she cannot overcome her attraction to his powerful Alpha personality and stunning good looks. Just as Adara and her sisters must leave the island for the week of the full moon, a dangerous turn of events gives Dane the chance to redeem himself in Adara’s eyes . . . but will he succeed?

The proud and spirited Evelyn White relentlessly pursued the aloof and cold-hearted Julian Moore, eventually becoming Mrs. Moore as she had dreamed. For Julian, Evelyn, the once-proud princess, lowered her noble head. However, after their marriage, she discovered that he still kept his first love in his heart, an unforgettable shadow from his past. Evelyn became the subject of ridicule among the affluent socialites of Riverdale’s elite circles. One day, a heated argument escalated into a dramatic rooftop scene, captured by someone with ill intent and swiftly posted online, making Evelyn the target of public scorn across the city. When she regained consciousness, all memories of him were gone. Evelyn asked, “Sir, may I ask who you are?” Julian replied, “Eve, pretending to have amnesia is such a cliché. I won’t divorce you.” However, Evelyn really turned and walked away without looking back. Three years later. A little girl with delicate features accidentally fell into Julian’s arms. Seeing the familiar figure that haunted his dreams, Julian instinctively blurted out, “Eve, this is... our child?” Evelyn, holding the arm of a charming and elegant man beside her, smiled and said, “Mr. Moore, let me introduce you—this is the father of my child!”

I did three years in prison for my wife, Lilian Parson. The day I got out, she handed me an envelope for her company's grand opening. Inside was a single dollar bill. For a second, I thought it was a mistake. Then I saw her colleague, Nathan Ramsey, holding his envelope—his also contained a single dollar. Relieved, I pushed my doubts aside. I smiled, stood by Lilian's side through the entire ceremony, the picture of a proud, supportive husband. That night, scrolling through Instagram, I saw Nathan's latest post. A photo of a check. [Congratulations to Lilian Parson on the grand opening! So generous—100 million as a gift!] The comments section exploded with envy and blessings, congratulating him and "the boss" on finally becoming a couple. Lilian offered no explanation. Instead, she hurried to draw a line between us. "You just got out of prison," she said coolly. "It's not a good look to go public right now. Let's keep our marriage a secret. In front of others, just call me your boss." Then she turned around and liked Nathan's post. I wiped the tears from my eyes, picked up my phone, and dialed the number of her greatest rival. "From now on, I work for you," I said.

Allyssa Andres, a woman who had nothing, but herself. She went through a lot of heartache from her failed relationships, and she even became a mistress. With that, she didn’t believe in love, but in lust. Nobody accepted and loved her, especially that she was an orphan that had nothing to be proud of. She really had enough from the pain and miseries she had, so she ran away from hell. Until a door opened embracing her flaws and miseries. Inside of it was a lair wherein men craved and ogled for women that could give pleasure. Her life revolved around being a pole dancer under the silhouette of Kryptonite at Gem, a prestigious night club for wealthy men. Dumbfounded, she only had one customer to pleasure with who was a sex god that would make her crave for desire and lust. But her perception was changed by him, especially that he accepted her not minding her past. He even made her feel like a queen like she always dreamt of. Until she found out that she was pregnant. She thought that she already found her perfect match, but not, because he left her. But little did she know that the customer she once loved had a secret that would surely make her life turned upside down, especially as she was owned and impregnated by a Hidden Mafia King.

On the eve of a surgery, I voluntarily resign from my position as lead surgeon. My colleagues sneer behind my back and mock me openly. "And this guy's supposed to have a PhD from abroad? Looks more like he bought a degree from some no-name university." "Can't even handle a challenge without running—what kind of doctor is that?" In my last life, I gave up competing in a general practitioner skills competition to take on this very surgery. But because the other lead surgeon violated protocol during the operation, it ended in a serious medical accident. My sister, the head of the department, pinned all the blame on me. Even my girlfriend stood firmly on their side, accusing me of incompetence. Overnight, I went from being a respected medical PhD to the disgrace of the hospital. I couldn't prove the mistake wasn't mine. I was fired and faced criminal charges. My parents, once so proud of me, pointed at me in rage. "We don't have a son who plays god with people's lives!" Crushed by shame and despair, I spiraled into deep depression and jumped from the hospital roof. But now, I open my eyes again. I'm back—back to the night before the surgery.

After coming back to life, I seek out a witch to erase the fated bond between me and Adrian Westwood. Then, using a magic potion that can transfer fated bonds, I plan to give it to his adopted sister, Hazel Quinn. From that moment on, Adrian will believe she is his one true mate. Before the marking ceremony, I quietly changed the bride's name on the invitations and gave Hazel the exquisite gown I had spent nearly six months having custom-made. After the ceremony, Adrian and Hazel left for the Southlands together. Adrian uses his authority as Alpha to let Hazel take the university spot that was meant for me. He even writes her a letter of recommendation to Eldren University so she can explore the human world. Meanwhile, I walk away and begin my studies at Harvard University, one of the top universities in the world. In my previous life, Adrian and I spent 20 years together. But in the end, he knelt at my feet in front of our descendants, begging me to sever the mate bond so he could be buried next to Hazel after he died. In this life, I decide not to sacrifice my future for anyone else. This time, I'm pursuing my own dreams at the top university, determined to make myself proud and never look back.
