Sub Urban Cradles

Ava-Rose Redclaw is excited when she meets Alastor Drexel on her 19th birthday. He's handsome, powerful, and the Alpha of The Drexel Forest pack. Proud of the mate the Moon Goddess gifted her with, she wants to jump into her role as Luna only days after meeting. As soon as Ava-Rose touches the Drexel Forest pack's soil, her mate's true nature surfaces. He's a cruel tyrant, with a thirst for blood. Ava realizes that her mate has no love in his heart for her. Saddened by this fact, she turns to his younger brother, Beta Trenton Drexel and they begin a 10-year affair. He loves her dearly, but he loves his brother more, so much so, that he turns a blind eye to the abuse Ava-Rose endures by his brother's hand. Tired of the abuse and humiliation, Ava teams up with a White Witch she befriended who lives alone in the swamps. Winifred invites Ava to run away with her to a land far, far away, out of the reach of her mate. Ava sees this as the perfect opportunity, as she's been planning her escape for a while, knowing that the day is near when her secret will come out. On the day of the voyage, scores of she-wolves from near and far show up to journey with the Luna. They are tired of their abusive relationships as well. Days later and they arrive at Mount Hecate, a sacred place for white witches. Ava is content with getting revenge on the pack that tried to break her. Love is the furthest thing from her mind until she meets Typhon, a mysterious shifter that lives on the top of the mountain.

My stepdaughter, Alana Greenwood, brought me some abortion medicine on her Coming-of-Age Ceremony. Everyone around knew of her little "prank", but none came to stop her. Even my husband just stood and watched. I smiled bitterly as I took the medicine and drank it in one go. I immediately felt the pain in my lower abdomen. My head began to spin, but I could still hear the harsh tone in Alana’s voice. "Well, did you think you could replace my mother after giving birth to your child? Let me tell you this, Dad agreed to marry you back then because I was young and was in need of a free nanny! If you dare think about replacing my mother, you will be kicked out of the Greenwood family!" I covered my stomach and took a deep breath. "There's no need for the trouble. You're an adult now and I've completed my task. I'll leave... tomorrow."

For three years, I played the role of a dutiful wife to my husband, Williams, until I found out I was just a mere substitute for his first love— the woman he truly loved.  When she returned, he threw divorce papers at me as if I meant nothing.  And when I refused to sign them, I was forced to donate my blood to his precious mistress, causing me to lose a child I never even knew I was carrying. Shattered and broken, I walked away with one purpose— avenging the death of my unborn child.  He realised his mistake, but it was too late. I was no longer his substitute, but a future he'll never touch.  “You were right, Williams. I was a substitute you never deserved.” 

Nangangailangan si Sapphire ng malaking halaga upang maoperahan sa puso ang kanyang ina kaya tinanggap niya ang alok ng kanyang ama, ang maging substitute bride. Ayaw kasi ng half-sister niyang si Fiona na magpakasal sa isang bilyonaryo na lumpo na nga, bulag pa at masama pa daw ang ugali. Aanhin daw ni Fiona ang pagiging bilyonaryo nito kung hindi niya ito maipagmamalaki sa kanyang mga kaibigan. Ngunit dahil nga pabagsak na rin ang kumpanya ng kanilang ama ay kailangan isa sa kanila ay magpakasal dito. Napatunayan nga ni Sapphire na masungit si Kaiden sa ilang linggong pananatili sa bahay nito. Pero inintindi na lang iyon ni Sapphire dahil sa kalagayan nito. Noong una nga ay nagalit pa ito dahil alam ni Kaiden na hindi siya ang dapat niyang papakasalan. Pinagbintangan pa siya ni Kaiden na pera lang at apelyido ang habol nito sa kanyang pamilya. Pero hindi sumuko si Sapphire hanggang sa unti-unti niya nakilala si Kaiden, napagtanto niyang isa itong mabuting tao at asawa sa kanya. Ngunit dito naman dadating ang iba't ibang pagsubok na susubok sa kanilang pagiging mag-asawa. Mga lihim na akala nila ay maibabaon na nila sa lupa. Malalampasan kaya nina Sapphire at Kaiden ang mga ito? O tuluyan na magkakaroon ng lamat ang kanilang pagsasama na hahantong sa pagkawasak nito.
