Reminder To Myself Artinya

I am Jayden Esperanza La Gualias... I am the daughter of the most powerful alpha to have ever lived. And on my sixteenth birthday, I met my mate... he is also a prince of another clan but as it turns out, he is not my opposite. Can an alpha prince be so weak and timid? And why - oh - why did the Goddess pair me, a badass princess, with a weak mate? Should I even give him a try? Or should I reject him outright and find myself a suitable chosen mate? This is my life... and I am willing to do whatever it takes to get what is rightfully mine.

I was framed. Sent to prison for a crime I didn’t commit, abandoned by the family I trusted. But I was given a second chance .. in the most twisted way. A Substitute Marriage. A pawn in a family’s scheme. And then I met him. Tyce Graham. The man I was told was crippled, dying… but he's nothing like the rumors. Now, I’m trapped in a marriage with a man I don’t know, a man who’s hiding secrets. As I search for revenge, I find myself drawn to him. The man I should hate. Can I still destroy everything they’ve done… while my heart betrays me?

"All I've ever wanted to do was travel the world, experience new cultures and find myself amongst the museums and tourist spots. Unfortunately, my father has other plans for me. Being the only heir to take over the family business, I have no choice in the matter." From Italy to New York, the fashion scene is vast but her heart longs for more and when a green eyed stranger is forced into her life, her perspective soon changes. From family secrets, hidden histories and car chases, Emiliana uncovers much more than she bargained for. Her bodyguard is her only salvation but is he harboring secrets of his own?

Four years ago, I was humiliated by my first love who I should’ve never trusted with my heart. On the same night, I was silently rejected by the one person I thought I could count on with everything including that shattered heart. Four years later, my world collides with the anonymous wolf who has kept my entire world from falling apart, put it back together, and made it better for myself and my younger sister. What I’m not expecting is the wolf to be my mate that silently rejected me years ago… and I’m definitely not expecting it to be one of the most powerful wolves in our world — the Northern Alpha King.

"Tell me how do you want me to make it up to you??" I asked, putting myself at risk by asking the big bad alpha wolf that question. "I'm not simply interested in having sex with you," He smiled and came closer, running his finger up my neck, "I want to experience everything with you." "How about not wearing any clothing whenever we are alone in this mansion?" I gasped in shock as he murmured into my face.

"Please, I'm begging you… Give it to me… I feel so itchy down there… It's so itchy that I'm dying… Sir, please…" In the dimly-lit stairwell, I can only stare at the flushed cheeks of the beautiful woman who lives next door. That's when I feel my heart beating loudly. I approach her, hoping to lend her a helping hand. But I'm feeling a little hesitant at the same time. The next thing I know, she spreads her legs right in front of me all of a sudden. As I stare at her wet entrance, I can no longer hold myself back…

After encountering problems at work, I lose myself in a virtual reality game. I randomly meet a male player in there and depend on my amorous interactions with him to escape reaity. We flirt with each other and have roleplay; he grunts and groans over the microphone. Everything changes when I accidentally reveal my true identity. The young man next door pins me underneath him and roams his hands over my body. When he speaks, his voice is hoarse. "You were great at flirting in the game, weren't you? Why can't you make those noises now?"

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life. Kung paano niya kinuha ang lahat sa akin, ganun din ang aking gagawin. The person I trusted betrayed me, so I will do the same as he stabbed me repeatedly in my back. I gave myself to him and believed that he would help me with my revenge, but it turned out that he was deceiving me from the very start. Hindi ako titigil hanggat hindi siya gumagapang sa putikan- kasama ko. Hindi ako titigil dumalak man ang dugo. I am Agatha Herrera- the lost heiress to the throne.

In the coastal quiet of Baler, a studio is born—not of architecture, but of intention.* Founded by Yam, a poet whose words cradle pain gently, and Franc, an artist who paints tenderness into walls, the studio becomes a refuge for those learning to stay—with grief, love, longing, and themselves. As visitors arrive, they leave behind more than footprints: a sigh recorded in bamboo, a poem tucked into the “Found Letters” shelf, a mural painted in crooked lines. Through zines, tea, silence, and sketchbooks, the studio teaches softness as revolution. Ren creates the *Window of Soft Returns*, an installation of anonymous voice recordings—each whisper forming a community of echoes. Drew builds the *Staircase With No Wrong Turns*, inviting people to walk through emotions without shame. Franc offers brushstrokes as brave work, and Yam curates writing circles that map healing in half sentences. Together, they host festivals that feel like hugs, and they begin traveling their archive, letting softness cross oceans. Even those who once left—like Miguel—return, discovering that some doors never truly close. Others, like Tala, capture the studio’s sound and turn it into a podcast of breath and becoming. Over seventy chapters, the studio transforms into something larger than itself: a mural of memory, a sanctuary for second chances, a place where return is sacred and voice is proof of survival. In the final bloom, the studio stands not as a monument—but as a reminder: > *“Staying isn’t easy. > But chosen together, > it becomes home.”*

Before the pack's Winter Solstice festival, I was given a Moonwater Mirror, forged from the waters of the Moon Goddess Spring. But the face staring back at me wasn't my own. It was my face, but younger. The girl I was eight years ago. Her eyes were bright with a joy I hadn't felt in years. When she realized I was from her future, she practically vibrated with excitement. "Our fated mate, Alpha Owen, he confessed today! He's going to plant moonflowers around the lake cabin. He'll stay with me for every full moon. He promised to make me his one and only Luna forever!" Her voice was full of hope for the future. Her joy was a bitter reminder of what I'd lost. I listened quietly, only managing a faint smile. My reaction must have given me away. Her excited chatter died. Her gaze drifted over my shoulder, taking in the cold, empty penthouse behind me. "Wait... where's Owen?" Her smile faltered. "We're happy, right? After eight years?" I didn't say a word. I just slowly, deliberately, turned the Moonwater Mirror toward the terrace. There, my Alpha mate, Owen, had another she-wolf pinned to the railing. Their mouths were fused, their breaths mingling in the cold night air.
