I used to be the most promising composer of my generation. But while I was working on my latest piece, my husband Charles Lambert's childhood friend destroyed everything I had. She slashed my face, stole my compositions, and set fire to my house—leaving me to burn alive alongside the kitten I'd just adopted. Then, as if my death were just a spark for her success, she posted my compositions online, claiming I'd plagiarized her. And people believed her. Everyone did. Strangers on the internet sneered and spat my name, and my own husband, Charles, chose to believe her over me. Even the International Musical Society rescinded my award and handed it to her without a second thought. My students, who once followed me loyally, were now fawning over her. I became the laughingstock of the entire internet—mocked, discredited, erased. It wasn't until a week later, when someone stumbled upon the charred remains of my lakeside studio, that they found what was left of me.

300 years ago, humankind created their own nightmare. Demons, are originally humans but the lust for power changed them inadequately, this is humans own doing. Around 300 years ago, a large asteroid bombarded the earth's very ground. This is the beginning of the birth of demons. This meteor was large, but out of the blue, a mysterious lifeform is intact in it's very core. A human named Cruzius Akiyoma was intrigued when witnessing these menacing looking creature. He interpret this as a blessing from heaven. He then owned the creature and conducted an experiment. He was surprised when he saw the structure and building blocks of life of this creature. He obsessedly pictured this as a one stepping stone through human evolution. He extracted the DNA of the creature and modified it in able to merged it to human DNA. Without any hesitation he then merged his DNA to the DNA of the creature. He is willing to offer his body to attain his goal, thus sacrificing his body is necessary. After the merging, he was surprised because nothing in particular happened. But, he suddenly felt a surging power circulating through his body. He screamed in pain as his body is gradually changing. Darkness fell upon humans as the scream of the first demon engulfed the sky, seas, forest, and fortress.

"Ah… Slow down… My husband hasn't even ended the call yet…" I slump on the floor with my butt raised high. As I listen to my husband's instructions, I continue to shift positions every now and then. Meanwhile, the gym trainer has one hand latching onto my hip while smacking my butt heavily with the other. Under my husband's instructions, he thrusts forward heavily…

There are dreams we've carefully planned with specific timelines, only to feel dissappointed when none of them come true. It's as if we've been pressuring ourselves, comparing our progress to others, and in the process, we forget to pause, breathe, and relax. For Danica Raven Pineda, every second counts. Vacation? She'd rather spend her time reading books and attending seminars. She's set high expectations for herself, and relaxation hasn't been a part of her plan. At times, we also need to allow ourselves exceptions-like falling in love with someone unexpected, such as the Conglomerate Samuel Dane Salvador. She adds a new chapter of her life-- the one that she did not looking foward for based on the timeline she has set on herself.

Als mein Alpha-Gefährte Logan bemerkte, dass ich seit drei Tagen keinen einzigen Ausgabenantrag einreichte, meldete er sich zum allerersten Mal von sich aus bei mir. „Baby, ich habe die nächste Phase der Heilung deiner Wölfin bereits genehmigt. Siehst du? Solange du lernst, dich zu benehmen, gibt es nichts, was ich dir nicht geben würde.“ Sein Ton war immer noch so zärtlich, als wäre er wirklich ein guter Alpha, der sich krank vor Sorge um seine Gefährtin machte. Aber er wusste nicht, dass ich, während sein „Baby“ über meinen Bildschirm flackerte, die Vereinbarung zum Durchtrennen unserer Gefährtenbindung längst fertig ausgearbeitet hatte. Bevor ich ging, war das Einzige, was ich mitnehmen konnte, das alte T-Shirt, das ich getragen hatte, als er mich markierte. Niemand hätte je geglaubt, dass die geliebte Luna des Blackmoon-Rudels in den drei Jahren seit unserer Bindungszeremonie nicht einmal fünf anständige Kleider für sich selbst zusammenkratzen konnte. Jede einzelne Haushaltsausgabe, die ich hatte, musste mit dem Siegel der Luna genehmigt werden – dem Symbol meiner Macht. „Sienna, die Bücher zu führen ist zu anstrengend. Das wird dich nur auslaugen.“ „Lass Chloe die lästige Arbeit mit dem Siegel erledigen. Du musst nur schön sein, meine perfekte Luna.“ Und so wurde das Siegel der Luna, das eigentlich mir hätte gehören müssen, zu etwas, das ich Chloe anflehen musste – der Sekretärin des Alphas, die angeblich „die lästige Arbeit für mich erledigte“. Vor drei Tagen stand meine Wölfin kurz vor dem Zusammenbruch. Ich weinte und flehte ihn um die zweihunderttausend an, die für einen Notfalleingriff benötigt wurden. Doch Chloe hielt das Siegel absichtlich zurück und verzögerte die Genehmigung, indem sie sich auf angeblich falsche Abläufe berief. Schließlich wurde meine ohnehin schon gebrochene Wölfin tief in meiner Seele völlig still. Und damit war ich auch mit diesem Alpha fertig.

My mom ended up in a vegetable state because my husband's childhood sweetheart hit her while drunk driving. When the police asked her to take a breathalyzer, Sarah swore she hadn't drunk anything and dared them to draw her blood for a test. At the hospital, James faked the test results. He staked his career on it, producing a clean report that cleared her of driving under the influence. The day she walked free, he went to pick her up. I screamed at him, "Don't you know she hit my mom?" He shrugged. "Margaret is not dead. She'll wake up, okay? Why are you freaking out, trying to ruin Sarah's life? Will that make you happy?"
