Riddle About Silence

Min was raised to rule a criminal empire soaked in blood, silence, and obedience. Jun was never supposed to survive in that world, too soft, too defiant, too human. Min despises Jun and the feeling is reciprocated, but they are bound by family and it all comes to head by the dissapearance of the Chairman. A quiet mafia war begins to surface, Jun is pulled back into Min’s territory, his house, his rules, his shadow. What begins as obligation turns into control. What starts as protection becomes obsession. Min knows Jun is a liability. Jun knows Min is a monster. Neither can seem to let go. In a world where loyalty is enforced with violence and weakness is punished, desire becomes a weapon. And loving the enemy, especially one you call family, may be the most unforgivable crime of all.

The humiliation clung to my skin like a stain I couldn’t wash away. With trembling hands, I pulled my clothes back on, desperate to leave the room, to put as much distance as I could between me and this hell. But as I reached for the door, Chris’s voice called after me, smug satisfaction lacing his words. “You’re not so bad, Camilla,” he taunted, turning to Tyson. “What do you think, future Alpha? Do you mind if I visit a little more often?” Tyson’s face was a mask of cold fury as he looked at me, his pride and ego burning from the knowledge that his mate was a lowly omega. He stared me down, a sneer twisting his lips as he spoke. “I, Tyson Woods of the Two Moons pack, reject you, Camilla, as my mate.” His words struck me like a blade. “Accept it or don’t. I don’t care.” **** Turning eighteen was supposed to change everything. I should have felt my wolf awaken, should have finally belonged to my pack. Instead, all I got was silence—the same empty, gnawing silence that’s haunted me since the day I realized I’d always be the runt, the omega no one cares about. When I met my mate, I thought it might finally be different. But Tyson Woods, my so-called fated mate, didn’t just reject me—he destroyed me, making it clear I was nothing but a stain on his pride. Running away was my only choice, even if it meant crossing into enemy territory. Now I’m trapped, claimed by Alpha Ryker—a man as cold and unyielding as the forest that swallowed me up. He’s dangerous, feared by every wolf on this side of the border,

I choose to love you in silence, because in silence I feel no rejection "Kung ako lang ang masusunod, ngayon na okay na ako? Ayaw na kitang makita. Kung pwede nga lang na hindi mo makilala ang anak ko ay gagawin ko, pero hindi ako gano'n ka selfish at kasamang tao na pagkaitan ang anak ko ng ama. I already suffered a lot when I was a child, not having my Mom and Dad by my side and I know how painful it is, kaya hindi ko ipaparanas 'yon sa kanya. Mas gugustuhin ko pa na ako na lang ang mahirapan at masaktan huwag lang ang anak ko." Si Kiara ay nag iisang kapatid ni Storm, bata pa lang ng maulila sila dahil namatay ang kanilang mga magulang, pero kahit gano'n pa man ay hindi nakaramdam ng kakulangan sa pagkatao ang dalaga dahil nandyan ang kanyang kapatid na laging nakasuporta at nakaalalay sa kanya. Darating ang araw na susubukin siya ng isang problema na magiging dahilan ng muntik niya ng pagsuko. Ang dating masiyahin ay mapapalitan ng lungkot at hinagpis.

Paano kung bumalik sa buhay nila ang taong ni minsan ay hindi nila maisip na makakasama pa nila ulit? May pag asa pa kayang makuha niya ang kasiyahan na matagal ng hinahangad?

His silence gave me my answer but I still can’t believe it. I can’t believe I fell for someone like him. I wipe my tears as I sniffle my words out "Why did you lie to me." "I can explain, I love yo-" "No, you don’t." I cut him off not wanting to hear those words from him. I think I have heard enough of his lies but not anymore. "You don’t love me, you never did." "Just let me explain." He says "No, I won’t. Because I do, you will lie again and lying isn’t love." I say as I felt my throat close up. He stayed silent probably because he doesn’t know what to say to me. How would he, words cannot explain the lies he has told me and the heartbreak that I am going through right now. ———————————————————— The book starts with the protagonist Ivy, whose life evolves with parties and one-night stands but that ended after the death of her boyfriend Evan.

The seer foretells that I will mate with an Alpha and give birth to the strongest heir. Because of this, I am arranged to be mates with the Alpha heir, Chad Gibson, since I was a child. And from then on, I am groomed to become a Luna. I devote my entire youth to bleeding, fighting, and enduring it all.

He then publicly declares that during a hunt, he accidentally consumed a lustbane and bred with Yelena. Thus, he must take responsibility and make her his future Luna. Seeing the unshakable resolve on his face, I ask in a trembling voice, "What about me? What am I supposed to do?" Without a moment's hesitation, he replies, "Tessa, because of that false prophecy, you have stolen the future Luna's place and enjoyed privileges that were never yours for long enough.

Instead, I simply remove my veil and return the ring that symbolizes the future Luna. Later, when Yelena gives birth, the pup turns out to be of Omega bloodline. Only then does Chad realize the prophecy is true, that I alone can bear the Alpha heir destined to lead. But when Chad finally regrets everything and begs me to come back, it is already too late.

Marrying Sebastian Romano had felt like a wish granted too perfectly to be real… until reality crushed it. For two years, Jasmine lived in a blur of champagne, penthouse lights, and a husband who looked at her like she was his entire future. In the third year, the silence arrived. The kisses turned into calendar appointments. The marriage shrank into handshakes and small talk. Then Jasmine found the truth. Sweet messages that were not for her. Hotel bookings that did not include her name. A blonde secretary who did not know shame. Jasmine walked out without looking back. She left her ring, the signed divorce papers, and her ruined heart on their ridiculous king-size bed. What she did not know was that another life had already started inside her. Five years later, Jasmine lived small on purpose. Quiet. Safe. Her child grew up without drama, without the weight of the Romano name. Jasmine promised herself it would stay that way. Until Adrian. Adrian was nothing like the men who used to own her world. Calm where they were cruel, clever without being cruel, steady in a way that felt dangerous only because she wanted to trust it. With him, Jasmine finally stopped feeling like a problem to fix and started feeling like a person to keep. When Adrian dropped to one knee at a glittering Monte Carlo...Jasmine did something she had sworn never to do again. She thought about forever. Then she saw him. Sebastian Romano. The man she had loved, left, and learned to hate in the exact same lifetime. Those cold eyes. That unreadable face. The past she thought she had buried standing three steps away from her fresh start. “Interesting,” Sebastian said. “Your fiancé… happens to be my brother.”
