This is my 18th time coming to City Hall, yet Tessa's still nowhere to be seen. Right as I'm about to call and ask her how much longer she'll be, her childhood friend's post popped up on my screen.

As for the license date, it shows February 14th, three years ago. So this is why she hasn't shown up the last eighteen times. It turns out that she's already somebody else's wife.

When the lights came on at the end of the graduation party, the spotlight suddenly shifted and froze on a young couple kissing passionately at the back of the auditorium. The young man held up a bouquet of roses and shouted to the crowd, “Sophie, be my girlfriend!” The moment the girl covered her face and nodded, the cheers in the hall nearly lifted the roof. Amid the thunderous applause, my hand trembled around my phone. The screen still showed the message he had sent half an hour earlier. Rowan: [Wait for me. I’ll come to you right away.] After the party, I took off the couple’s bracelet from my wrist and threw it into the gutter, along with four years of love.

Alexander Romano. Istrikto, dominante, at walang puso. Sa kabila ng ilan sa mga negative na ugali nito, marami padin ang nahuhumaling sa lalaki. Bakit ba naman hindi, bukod sa pagiging panganay na anak at taga pag mana ng Romano Corp. (isa sa pinaka malaki at kilalang kumpanya sa bansa), si Alexander ay marami na ding napatunayan sa sarili niya. Graduate ng Magna Cum Laude sa kursong BS Management Engineering at nakakuha ng maraming awards sa iba't ibang sports ng University na pinasukan, tulad ng swimming, lawn tennis at marami pang iba. May tangkad na 5'11, makakapal na kilay, mga matang kulay kape na tagos hanggang kaluluwa kung tumingin, ilong na makipot at matangos, at mga labing maninipis na ni minsan ata ay hindi dinapuan ng ngiti ngunit lalong bumagay sa pangahan nitong muka na nagbibigay ng 'mysterious' effect sa pagkatao nito. Maraming kababaihan ang nahuhumaling dito at inggit naman sa kalalakihan. Mga bagay na hindi alintana ng binata ngunit wala naman siyang pakielam sa mga opinyon at nararamdaman nito. Namumukod tanging si Jessica Pantaleon lang ang nakakakausap ng maayos dito bukod sa pamilya niya. Si Jessica ang kababata at bestfriend na din ni Alexander. Alam nito lahat ng pinagdaanan ng binata sa unang babaeng minahal na si Mara, kaya siya lang din ang nakakaintindi sa binata. Boyish pero maganda at sexy si Jessica. Natural na straight at itim ang kanyang buhok na hanggang bewang. Bagay sa balingkinitan na katawan, morenang kutis at 5'6 na height niya. NBSB siya at hindi din nagpakita ng interes sa mga nagtangkang manligaw dito. Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, nagising nalang si Jessica sa tabi ni Alexander. Pareho silang walang suot na damit. Paano nalang ang mangyayari sa kanila lalo na ngayong bumalik na si Mara sa buhay ni Alexander?

My mate thinks I'm a murderer! "Do these things belong to you?" He poses his question, his eyes boring deep into mine. I can feel the heat of his gaze inside my body. It's frying every organ inside me and if he keeps looking at me like that, I'm going to drop dead on the floor. He's my mate and he's my only hope. If he also believes the lie that I killed my sister and his brother, then I'm doomed for life. "I…I…" I start to answer, but he quickly cuts me off. I’m sorry "Yes,or no!" Anger flashes in his eyes as he says those words. The tone of his voice sends shivers down my spine. He is angry. He most definitely hates me. This is the end for me! Aurora was locked up by her father for the first eighteen years of her life. He did that for his own selfish desires. On the day of her eighteenth birthday, she thought she would be waking up to a grand party organized for her as promised by her father, but she was dragged to a hall where she found out she was being married to a complete stranger. Confused and terrified by the idea, she ran away from the hall, only to be accused a few hours later for the murder of her sister and the man she was supposed to marry, who was the son of the Alpha of the pack.

They both have to work together to prove her innocence and that marks the beginning of their love story.

Everyone had been poisoned. The toast for my party had just happened and now people were dropping like flies around me. And then I saw him. He entered the hall like an angel of death, his dark brown eyes two pools of malevolence that shone with sinister intent.Despite his twenty years of age, he definitely had more kills under his belt than years on his person. I was viciously yanked into the hard body of the man responsible for everything going on.One muscular arm went over my chest, pinning me to him. Fear lodged itself in my throat upon the sensation of cool dangerous metal at my temple. I bit back a whimper. He was going to kill me. “The name is Gabriel Rossi,” he murmured, his deep voice sending ripples of fear down my spine. “And your papa is going to watch me k*ll his precious princesa. He took my birthright from me. I’m gonna take something from him too.” I gathered my courage and with a surprising amount of strength fueled by the sheer terror pumping in my veins, I pulled myself out of Gabriel’s grasp. He tried to grab my arm, only for his hand to go over the protective bangle that suppressed my magic. I gave another fierce jerk of my body and the bangle broke away, left behind in his hand as I pulled free. I heard the cocking of his p*st0l. My eyes met the feral glowing yellow eyes of my killer, one hundred percent sure I was going to die. “Mate,” Gabriel Rossi said, staring straight at me. **** In a world where darkness and magic collide, Evelina finds herself entangled in a perilous dance with fate. You can run from Gabriel Rossi....but you can't hide. ***
