Slow Burn Union Gap

I’m the public lover of Tara Brewer, the underworld queen. She often dotes on me and treats me like I'm her most precious treasure, and she goes as far as to claim that she wants to give birth to ten children for me. But when I'm getting beaten up by others while completely drenched in my own blood, Tara doesn't recognize me at all. Instead, she turns to comfort her beau, Brandon Holden. "That filthy bastard has crossed you, honey! You can just beat him to death! I'll be your safety net!" Only then do I realize that Brandon is Tara's lover this whole time. As soon as Tara's words fall, she snatches the boxing gloves from Brandon and begins punching my face, which has a mixture of blood and tears streaking down my cheeks. At the same time, she says icily, "Don't worry. Once you're dead, I'll inform your wife so that she can pick up your corpse."

Walang ibang taong naging sandigan si Sapphire mula pagkabata kundi ang kanyang Uncle Ares—ang lalaking kinupkop ng kanyang mga lolo’t lola bilang sariling anak. Tahimik, responsable, at palaging nariyan tuwing kailangan niya ng karamay. Sa tagal ng pagkakasama nila, hindi niya namalayang unti-unti na pala siyang naaakit sa misteryosong tikas nito. Kaya nang mawalan siya ng magulang sa London, agad siyang umuwi sa Pilipinas at nanirahan sa piling ng tanging taong pinaniniwalaan niyang tunay na ligtas siya... kahit pa ang puso niya ay nalilito. Bago pa man siya umalis ng London, pinangako niya sa sarili na ililibing na niya ang damdaming iyon. Hindi sila magkadugo, pero si Ares na lang ang natitirang pamilya niya. Pero paano kung malaman niyang matagal na rin pala siyang pinagnanasaan ng lalaking tinitingala niya? Can she hold on to her morals, or will she give in to the fire—and cross the line she swore never to touch?

On the day I'm set to give birth, a rogue crashes his car into the convoy that's meant to transport me and Alison Cranwell to the hospital for a prenatal check-up. My water breaks the moment the crash happens. A mixture of blood and amniotic sap soon dyes my seat crimson. At the same time, intense pain flares from my abdomen. My Alpha mate, Caleb Bright, rushes over immediately and hoists the doctor by the collar. "You must protect the she-wolves and their pups!" Warmth floods my heart at that moment. It continues spreading throughout my body until I get wheeled into an operating theater. Since the general anesthesia has yet to fully take effect, I can vaguely make out Marcus Knight, Caleb's Beta, speaking to him in a lowered tone. "The thing is, Alpha Caleb, Luna Selina is suffering from heavy bleeding as well. But we only have one vial of the most effective Lunar Grass essence left. If we don't use it on her, I'm afraid that she and the pup will—" "Alison is pregnant with my dead brother's only pup. She must not be harmed no matter what," Caleb states icily. "Selina is very strong, and her wolf can endure her grievous wounds. As for that pup… well, we'll have another one in the future." But what Caleb doesn't know is that I didn't just lose my pup that night—I've lost the last trace of love I have for him as well.

Raina Winters, once the beta's daughter, now finds herself relegated to the status of Omega and the bedmate of the ruthless Alpha, Tristan Knight who was once her fated mate and the first prince. Tristan became a cold-hearted beast due to her betrayal. Despite his abusive behaviour towards her, marking her and using her in bed, he is determined to make her hate him. She endures his wrath, biding her time until she will be set free. "I won't make it easy for you to run from me. You owe me too much; your life is bound to mine," Alpha Tristan Knight. In this tale, love proves feeble, while desire has the power to make it unforgettable.
