Ten years ago, he was forced to escape from a rich and powerful family. From then on, he drifted away like an ant, and everyone could bully him. Until that day, he dialed the familiar yet strange number. If you hold my hand, I will make you proud...

"Who are you?" tanong ni Arlon habang hawak sa braso ang isang bata na babae. "Let go of me. You scumbag!" The arrival of his daughter awakened a longing for connection and love that he had never known. He loved Charlotte unconditionally but found himself lost, unsure of how to bridge the gap that had formed between them. Umiiyak si Charlotte sa isang kwarto. Puno iyon ng mga laruan na pambata, stuff toys at puno ang closet niya ng magaganda na dress ngunit wala sa mga iyon ang nakakuha ng ngiti at attention ng batang si Charlotte. As fate intertwined their lives, the complexities of love, sacrifice, and the unbreakable bond of family began to unfold. In their journey through the trials of life, would they discover that true strength lies not in perfection, but in the messy, beautiful reality of loving one another? "Wala sa inyo ni Miss Ophelia ang nagmatch ng blood type ng bata. Paano nangyari iyon?" May isang babae ang umiiyak na tumatakbo patungo sa emergency room na talagang kamukha ng nagpakilala na ina ni Charlotte at nakasama niya ng gabi na iyon. Cordelia Monteveros the woman who have a mentally unstable and walang kakayahan makapagsalita. Putikan ang dulo ng suot nito na puting dress at nakapaa. Hinawakan siya ng babae, puno ng pag-aalala at paulit-ulit na hinila ang sleeve niya— gumawa ng mga hand sign language na talagang hindi maintindihan ni Arlon. Nanatili si Arlon na nakatingin sa babae na akala niya na hindi na niya na ulit makikita at doon narealize ni Arlon na nakagawa siya ng malaking pagkakamali. In a world where family ties are tested by secrets, control and power.

Le di tres años de mi vida, solo para que me trataran como a una simple sustituta… peor que a un perro. Cuando su llamada “luz blanca de luna” regresó, me apartó sin dudarlo. Está bien. Acepté la alianza familiar y me casé con el Alfa más poderoso del Norte. ¿Ahora se arrepiente y me ruega que vuelva? Demasiado tarde. Confabularon contra mí con aconita, queriendo que muriera en un sucio sótano. Pero mi compañero —el verdadero Rey del Norte— arrasó con toda la hacienda solo para salvarme. Intentaron robar mi linaje alfa con magia oscura. Los hice saborear el exilio, convertidos en renegados, despreciados por todos. ¿Y él? Se arrodilló ante mí, suplicando por perdón. Yo me refugié en los brazos de mi compañero y lo vi ser desterrado para siempre. —Ángel —le dije con frialdad—. —Abre los ojos. Yo soy la única Luna del Norte.

My childhood friend said that he was connected with the doll. Now that he had lost it, he called me up to cry. One hand held my phone as I consoled him, while the other toyed with the doll. His voice began to take on a more interesting tone with my purposeful touches… I squeezed and pinched the toy and comforted him, “Shh, I agree with you. Whoever took your toy is a terrible person…”

Yo soy Isabela Cruz, hija del primer padrino de la Isla Santa Lucía. Crecí siendo rebelde, y mi padre, temiendo que por un arranque de impulsividad me casara con cualquier don nadie, decidió ordenar mi compromiso con Lucas Marino, heredero de la nueva y poderosa familia Marino. Aunque es un matrimonio político, al menos quería elegir mi propio anillo. Por eso asistí a la subasta privada de las familias mafiosas. Cuando el anillo de joya principal salió a la luz, levanté mi paleta de puja. Antes de que el martillo cayera, una voz femenina, arrogante y altiva, sonó a mi espalda: —¿Tú, una campesinita, quieres competir conmigo? ¡Doscientos mil! Si tienes dignidad, lárgate. El lugar quedó en un silencio repentino, roto solo por el clic sutil de las cámaras. Me giré y vi a una mujer con un vestido dorado de alta costura. Sonreía con desdén, como si toda la sala fuese su escenario personal. Antes de que pudiera responder, el subastador bajó el martillo con prisa. —¡Adjudicado! ¡Felicidades, señorita Sofía Duarte, por obtener el anillo estelar “Estrella Eterna”! Fruncí el ceño, sintiendo cómo me ardía el pecho. —¿Se puede cerrar una puja sin terminarla? Qué falta de reglas tiene este lugar. Sofía se volvió hacia mí, sus ojos recorriéndome de los pies a la cabeza con una frialdad cortante. —¿Reglas? —rió con desprecio—. Cariño, yo soy la ahijada favorita de Lucas Marino. Aquí, yo soy la regla. No pude evitar reír. Qué coincidencia tan divina: Lucas es justamente el nombre de mi prometido. Saqué el teléfono sin dudar. —Lucas, tu “ahijada” acaba de arrebatarme el anillo de compromiso que quería. Dime, ¿qué vas a hacer al respecto?

Typical date nights involve dinners and movies, or late-night talks at a coffee shop. They do not involve life-altering events that make people question their whole relationship, right? Wrong. Enora's last date was anything but typical when she accidentally found out her boyfriend Victor was an Alpha shifter. And if that wasn't enough of a shock to her system, he is the leader of one of the two most well-known mafias in her area. With a longtime rival who has set his sights on Enora thrown into the mix, how will they get through this? Torn between a crippling fear of shifters and the risks of entering a life of crime, the battle between love and life begins. *** “My decision shouldn't matter.” “Maybe it matters to me. What is it?” “You by my side. Forever. Everything I have is yours if you say the word.” “I...” Shouldn't the answer be easy? What was it that she truly wanted?
