"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."

Si Arabelle Rivera, isang simpleng community development consultant, ay kontento na sana sa tahimik na buhay. Ngunit isang gabi, nang iligtas niya ang isang sugatang estranghero sa loob ng convenience store, nabago ang lahat. Ang lalaking iyon ay si Rafael Monteverde—isang malamig at kilalang bilyonaryong CEO. Dahil sa utang na loob at presyur ng pamilya, nauwi ang kanilang pagkakakilala sa isang kasunduang kasal—isang marriage of convenience na itinayo sa obligasyon, hindi sa pag-ibig. Sa likod ng matigas na anyo ni Rafael ay isang pusong sugatan, takot muling magtiwala. Samantala, ang matalik niyang kaibigang si Margaux Reyes ay napilitang pakasalan si Lucas Monteverde, ang pangunahing tagapagmana ng imperyo. Sa araw ng kanilang kasal, tahasan nitong sinabi na hindi siya ang babaeng mahal nito. Ngunit pinili ni Margaux na panindigan ang kasal—hindi para sa pag-ibig, kundi para sa dignidad at sariling prinsipyo. Sa paglipas ng panahon, unti-unting nabasag ang pader sa pagitan nila, at natutunan ni Lucas na pahalagahan ang babaeng hindi sumusuko.

Mananatili ba sila sa isang kasunduang walang katiyakan, o lalaban para sa pag-ibig na unti-unting nabubuo?

Viatrice Thaliya Rosales was never meant to beg or bend. Heiress to one of the country’s most powerful families, she walked away from the wealth and the name, determined to build a life on her own. But when the Rosales empire nears ruin, she’s dragged back into a world of power plays and secrets. And waiting for her is a man who holds the key to saving everything—on one condition. Marriage. It was supposed to be nothing more than a transaction. A contract bound by signatures, not emotions. But the more Thaliya finds herself tangled in his world, the harder it becomes to tell where duty ends and desire begins. She thought she was giving up her freedom. What she didn’t expect was to risk her heart.

I was a stray pup. At five years old, several elite warriors captured me and threw me in front of the Alpha heir, Lucas. I heard his wolf talking to Lucas in his mind. "Lucas, this damn little thing is a hybrid of a werewolf and an evil witch. The prophecy shows she will be extremely vicious in the future, even killing your Mate. For the Moon Goddess, you must kill her now to protect your future Luna." Lucas agreed carelessly. But when he saw me, he froze. "Seriously? Dude, you’re saying this tiny thing is a homicidal maniac? How vicious can she be? Cursing the future Luna with a lollipop?" I tugged the corner of Lucas's expensive shirt, and looked up. "Big brother, I'm so hungry." He looked at my body, starved to just bones, and hesitated. "Anyway, the mate hasn't appeared yet. Might as well let her eat first. Even when we execute rogues, we usually let them eat their fill before killing them." His wolf replied, "Makes sense... but after she's full, you can't hesitate again!" From that day on, he raised me, this mixed-race brat, like a little sister in his pack. For over a decade, he and his wolf plotted countless times how to kill me, but always found various excuses to postpone the execution. Until I was 16, my brother was injured and lying in the healing center, but his wolf, having lost its will to live after being rejected by its mate, was unable to heal itself. The healer said my brother was going to die. I didn't try to stop him; I just found that playboy from school who had harassed me. I forced him to send my brother a mind link. "Alpha, I just wanted to say, Emma's body is really... really banging. I'll take good... care of her for you." I even chimed in through the mind link with a flirtatious whine. "Jason, don't be like that, Lucas will get mad... stop it." Less than half a second later. An earth-shattering roar came. "Son of a bitch! Jason, get the fuck away from her!" "If you touch a single finger on her, I'll tear you to shreds!"
