Seohyun Golden Maknae

He came to destroy her. She planned to crush him. Neither expected to fall. Mona is the queen of the business world; ruthless, feared, and untouchable. She doesn’t do love, friendship, or second chances. In her world, weakness is fatal, and survival means staying one step ahead no matter the cost. Her golden rule? Never get distracted. But then Kade walks in...sharp, relentless, and dangerously charming. He wants answers about a secret from her past. He wants justice. What he doesn’t expect... is her. Mona’s used to eliminating problems. And Kade? He should’ve been just another one. But every move she makes to push him away only pulls them deeper into a tangled game of power, desire, and control. He’s falling for the villain. She’s terrified she might actually feel something. And when hearts get involved, someone always bleeds.

She was the good girl, the kind who went to church, held onto hope, and believed love was patient, kind, and safe. He was the golden boy, a charming athlete with a dangerous edge and a past full of secrets. When their worlds collided, it wasn’t gentle. It was wild. All-consuming. Addictive. From the very beginning, he swept her off her feet , with compliments, promises, and intense affection. She fell hard. He changed her, slowly pulling her away from her values, her friends, and herself. But behind the sweet messages and stolen kisses was something darker: cheating, manipulation, and obsession. When she made one mistake, one moment of weakness, he unraveled. Possessive. Cold. Punishing. Their love turned into a battleground of blame, silence, and control. She finally found the strength to walk away. Two months of no contact. Healing. Distance. She went overseas to find space from the chaos. But just as she began to breathe again, he messaged her. They reunited. Briefly. Just long enough for her to realize the truth: he hadn’t changed. But she had. This is the story of a girl who lost herself in someone else’s world, and slowly, powerfully, found her way back. It’s about love bombing, heartbreak, emotional survival, and becoming your own safe place. She meets other men, learns new lessons, and begins to understand that what she really wants isn’t chaos disguised as passion… It’s peace. Wholeness. Companionship built on truth. He was never her forever. But he was the lesson she needed to meet the love she deserved.

WARNING: RATED 18+| NO RAPE!!! Excerpt; "Was I a good girl?" she hiccupped, her bare skin flushed and glowed as she rolled across the sheets like she owned the bed—and him. Six weeks without his touch had scraped her raw. She was slowly losing touch of her sanity. "You did good, Penguin," Alanis said, his voice low and rough as he reached for his tie. And just like that, the spell cracked. He was leaving...again. It wasn't fair, she had to remain in the shadows, while her perfect half-sister was rubbing his chest in public. Poppy slammed the door shut, while she arranged her robe, her eyes wet and wild. "Can you… stay… just one more night?" He hesitated. And she saw it, the guilt and pull. "You know how this—" Something made him stop mid-sentence. His gaze dropped. One sharp breath, and he was staring at her peaked nipple like it was a commandment. "Please?" she breathed, arching toward him. With a low growl, he tossed her back on the bed because he had been starved, and he was ready to devour his Penguin. ... Poppy never had a chance to be the golden girl. Not with a cruel stepmother, and a father who forgot she even existed. Penelope was given everything that belonged to Poppy. Now Penny's prize? A diamond ring—a wedding to Alanis Caelum, Velmora's most powerful billionaire. Cold, brilliant, and devastatingly magnetic. To everyone but Poppy. Because before he became Penny’s perfect fiancé, he belonged to Poppy—in the dark, in secret, in sin. He knows her body like a weapon. He calls her Penguin with a growl that makes her knees buckle. And when he’s inside her, he forgets who he's supposed to love. She had him wrapped so tight, he forgot the world.

"How dare you,” Alpha Loeka sneered, putting his foot over my hand. Blood trickled down her cheek. My skin was splintered, but I was done talking. His nostrils flared. “You will do as commanded!” he growled. His alpha's tone was commanding and powerful, clearly drawing the line between those who gave the orders and who followed. “Wha…t about the academy?” I stammered. The words felt fragile in my mouth, as if they would shatter if I let them out again. “I will let the council know you're no longer interested in the admission,” Father answered, his voice laced with disdain. My brow rose in surprise—and, well, surprise. “Father…!” I protested. My heart shattered. This was betrayal. I brushed off a tear that had slipped free. There was no use crying. Father didn't deserve it. But the pain I felt was numbing; it was slowly killing me. “You've always wanted to do something great for the pack, right?” he said, grinning slyly. He was using my words against me. If cruelty were a person, it would be my father. **** Camille Loeka, hunter and daughter of Alpha Loeka, had lost her father's interest—or whatever love he had once shown her—after the night of her disgraceful shifting What had begun as a bitter disappointment from Alpha Loeka had transformed into an outright disdain for her very existence.
