Esteria, the queen of the northern human kingdom, was finally getting married to the vampire prince of her dreams. What began as a treaty between their two kingdoms had blossomed into a courtship where she had truly fallen in love. Life was perfect until darkness cast its shadow over her happiness. Her beloved vampire betrayed her, delivering a fatal blow. With her last breath, she made a desperate deal with a Demon God. "You will have to become my mate to gain the power to exact your revenge," he whispered in her ear, sending a shock through her dying body. This Demon God was not only breathtakingly gorgeous and immensely powerful, but he was also dangerously seductive. Now, he was offering her a deal that promised both vengeance and peril. Esteria’s mind was a storm of grief and fury. Could she handle the Demon God’s insatiable desires and the deadly power that came with their pact? Or would she be consumed by the chaotic demands of this new, dark world? "I will kill both of them. I will draw their last breath with my sword and burn their bodies with my fury," she vowed, her determination as fierce as the hellfire she now wielded.

Nothing is ever going to be the same again. In a way I am glad, changes needed to be made, but for the people we have lost, there are some wounds that will never heal. My mate comes behind me and wraps me in a tight embrace. We have never been this close before. It feels like everything in the world, except the Goddess, has kept us apart. Let me step back. My name is Leah and I am the only daughter, only child of Alpha Benjamin of the Crescent Moon pack. We're a part of a cooperative pack alliance called the Concordat. I know, it's as pretentious as it sounds, note my eye roll here. All of our Elders got together years ago to come together for protection and to ensure the survival of our race. Our Concordat, yep say it as snooty as you can, was made up initially of 10 packs in the shadow of a vast mountain range. This alliance worked exactly as it was designed for about 5 generations. But the Elders became set in their ways and used to certain comforts. They stopped participating in regular pack training, only including themselves high rank training of the Alphas and Betas and begrudgingly dealt with the Lunas at the compound. Males were taught they were superior simply being male, not for any other show of merit. Women were seen, and that was only if dressed properly, and to produce strong male heirs. My father did not believe in females being lesser, so he trained me well from the time I could walk. I trained in secret, learning skills on and off the field. Let me take you on my journey through love, loss and truly knowing what it means to be a friend, lover, mate, leader and enemy.

Limang taon na ang lumipas nang durugin ni Elly Panganiban ang puso ni Carl Montesantos at lisanin ang billionaire world nito. Ginawa niya ito upang protektahan si Carl, kapalit ng isang lihim: ang kanilang kambal na anak, sina Liam at Lia—ang lihim na bunga ng pag-ibig na kailangan niyang itanggi. Ngayon, napilitan si Elly na magtrabaho sa Montesantos Holdings, ang imperyo ng kanyang Billionaire Ex na si Carl. Ang pag-ibig ay napalitan ng matinding pagkamuhi at paghihiganti. Araw-araw, sinisiguro ni Carl na maramdaman ni Elly ang pait ng pag-iwan, tinatawag siyang "walang-kwenta" at "basura" sa trabaho. Mas lumala ang sitwasyon sa presensya ni Sharon Montemayor, ang fiancée ni Carl, at ni Theo Ramos, na nagpaalab ng selos sa Bilyonaryo. Sa gitna ng tensyon, nagbigay ng walang-awang kasinungalingan si Elly: "patay na" ang ama ng kambal. Ngunit ang lahat ng galit at paghihiganti ni Carl ay guguho sa isang iglap! Sa Lobby ng kumpanya, nakita ni Carl ang kanyang anak na si Liam. Ang bata, na eksaktong kopya niya at may matatalim na asul na mata, ay sumigaw ng katotohanan: Siya ang ama! Hindi siya namatay! Dinoble ang kanyang pamilya! Ang mga mata ni Carl ay biglang nagbago, mula sa poot tungo sa pag-angkin at walang-sawang possessiveness! Simula na ng giyera! Paano itatago ni Elly ang lihim kung ang Bilyonaryong Ex, na ngayo'y nag-aapoy sa galit, ay handa nang angkinin ang kanyang dugo at lahi?!

A marriage is a divine vow of a pact made by the consent of God. It's divine because it can bond the destiny of two people to one destiny by love. It's divine because it can make one work for the drawback of the other. It's divine because it can give one a shoulder where they can always lean on. It's divine because it can give birth to a new life only which a God Creator can do. If such a divine vow is made into a pact of lies, what will happen to the ones that play. Jayson and Ellen bounded by a contract of marriage only have hate and scowl for each other. Can the divine vow make them fall in love or the hate they have for the other grow to break the vow and their marriage?

In a world where power is measured by blood and betrayal, I thought love had no place. Then I met Raphael. Ruthless, commanding, and utterly captivating, he dragged me into his dark world, a place where enemies lurk in every shadow and danger is the only constant. But there’s more to my story than the whirlwind romance with a man like Raphael. I’m the last heir of the De Luca family—a legacy I didn’t even know I carried. A legacy cursed by a pact made long before I was born. The more I learn about my family’s past, the more I realize that my connection to Raphael isn’t a coincidence. It’s a ticking time bomb. Martin, Raphael’s greatest enemy, knows who I am. To him, I’m not just a woman. I’m a weapon—a means to destroy everything Raphael has built. As war ignites between them, I uncover secrets about myself I’m not sure I want to face. Supernatural abilities. A curse with a cost too terrible to imagine. And a choice that could save Raphael’s life… or destroy everything we both hold dear. In the end, love may not be enough. But if I have to fight to protect Raphael and break the chains of my family’s curse, then I will. Even if it means losing everything. Including myself.

The day I came of age, I had to honor the pact: marry a son of the Blackwood family. In my first life, I chose Julian, the man I’d loved for years. But after we were married, he treated me as nothing more than a tool for his pleasure and cheated on me with my adopted sister, Seraphina. They flaunted their affair right in front of me. In the end, they poisoned me, leaving me to die a bitter, hateful death. Reborn, when the Don Blackwood asked who I would choose for the marriage pact, I didn’t hesitate. I pointed to the sickly Damien. This time, I’d let Julian and Seraphina have each other. But this time, Julian was the one filled with regret.
