On the day Shane Jackson and I registered our marriage, his infatuated secretary pushed me off a building. I fractured two ribs, lost my baby instantly, and slipped into a coma. Shane stayed by my side and told everyone I was his only wife, never leaving my bedside. But when no one was watching, he pressed that secretary against the hospital bed and murmured, "If it weren't for you, Lily and I would already have a three-year-old child. You owe us a baby. This is what you must repay her." Joanna Rogers trembled in his arms, eyes full of tears. "I'm sorry, Mr. Jackson. I loved you too much. I'll accept whatever punishment you give me." A moment later, I heard their heavy breathing. My eyes, which had been shut for three years, suddenly opened. Tears rolled down my cheeks.

Sa Pilipinas, hirap at tiyaga ang susi sa pag-angat, lalo na para sa mga hindi nakapagtapos ng pag-aaral. Si Tresandrus Villafahr o kilala sa pangalang Tres, isang binatang may matayog na pangarap para sa pamilya— ay napilitang tumigil sa pag-aaral upang suportahan ang kapatid at alagaan ang maysakit nilang ina. Bilang breadwinner ng pamilya, pinasok ni Tres ang trabahong labag sa kanyang paniniwala at prinsipyo—ang pagiging male prostitute. Nilunok niya ang kanyang hiya at dignidad, isinakripisyo ang kanyang sarili para sa kinabukasan ng pamilya. Sa madilim na mundong kaniyang ginagalawan, isang gabi, pinasok ni Tres ang madaliang trabaho para kumita ng mas malaking halaga na makakapagligtas sa Nanay niya—ang maging isa sa bidding item. Sa gitna ng tila mga hayok na mayayamang kalalakihan, isang naiibang babae ang nagtaas ng bid paddle at binili siya sa halagang hindi kayang pantayan ng sinumang naroon sa kaniyang harapan. Ang gabing iyon ay nagbukas ng isang bagong kabanata sa buhay ni Tres. Sino ang babaeng ito at ano ang dala niyang pagbabago? Magkakaroon kaya si Tres ng lakas upang baguhin ang kanyang kapalaran, o mananatili siyang alipin ng mga makapangyarihan? Magkakaroon kaya sila ng pangalawang pagkakataon, o ito’y panandalian lamang?

“You’re useless.” I lift my head, wrists aching where the rope bites into skin already numb from the cold. My father stands over me, his shadow long and sharp in the firelight spilling from the clearing behind him. I can hear the celebration. My sister’s laughter. The pack chanting her name. “I tried,” I say. My voice cracks, and I hate it for that alone. “I did everything you asked.” He scoffs. “Everything?” His gaze drags over me like I’m something rotten. “If you’d done anything right, your mother would still be alive.” My chest burns, each breath a knife. “She chose—” “She died because of you,” he snaps. “Because you were too weak to protect yourself. Too weak to be worth the trouble.” I swallow, tasting blood. “I’m your daughter.” “No,” he says coldly. “You’re a reminder of my failure.” He turns away, already done with me. “Be grateful I’m hiding you instead of killing you. An Alpha can’t afford dead weight.” The rope tightens as he knots it higher, out of reach. He doesn’t look back. Behind him, the pack howls in celebration. I lower my head and let the tears fall silently into the dirt because crying is the only thing they haven’t taken from me yet. But as the night deepens and the forest breathes around me, something else stirs—slow and patient. They call me useless. One day, they’ll choke on that word.

I live alone. At eleven o'clock on a rainy night, an unexpected call came through. The voice on the other end said my car window was left open and urged me to go downstairs. Cautious as a woman should be, I didn't act rashly. Instead, I called the property security office, only to discover that even the security was fake. It hit me suddenly—I was ensnared in a vast conspiracy. Someone was orchestrating all of this. But for what purpose?

Four years ago, Alpha Matteo Donovan was drugged. On that crazy night, I became his cure. From that moment on, I was his most trusted Beta by day and his lover by night, tangled up in his sheets until dawn. Just when I started drowning in the heat of his gaze, his first love, Sabrina Monroe, came back. To please her, Matteo threw me to the pack’s borderlands, where it was rogue-infested. He even tore up Mom's keepsakes right in front of me. When I finally gave up and applied to leave the pack, Matteo suddenly began to look for me like he had gone mad.
