In the eighth year of our secret office marriage, Marvin lit up every LED screen in Ocean City, just to make his little assistant smile. Amidst the well-wishes from everyone, the assistant cheerfully handed out gifts to the entire office. I casually tossed my gift into the trash. The assistant immediately ran to Marvin's office, tears streaming down her face, to report me. Moments later, Marvin, furious, suspended me from my position. As I walked out of the company building, Marvin's voice echoed from the loudspeakers on the top floor. "Celebrating Wendy's successful completion of her work, the gift is ready!" Wendy—was the assistant's name. As I watched the crowd rush past me, I calmly cut all ties with Marvin. This hidden marriage had come to an end.

But some things from the past seem to haunt and try to tear them apart. Will they still end up together in the future? Andrea Scout has been offered a chance to free herself from crippling debt. Owed to being a well-known actress, her life is plagued with drama and controversy. And when a billionaire CEO proposes to pay off all her loans in exchange of acting as his wife, there was no hesitation in saying “I do.” Although she believed that love and marriage were fantasies people only dreamed about, she may perhaps found the real deal in Sebastian Adams. But luck never seemed to agree with her as hurt and misfortune always follow her, like a looming shadow. So when a special person from his good old days shows up and she’s cast away by the partner she learned to love, Andrea might just have had enough.

Once the cherished daughter of Alpha Gideon, Ava fell from grace after a tragic incident that led to her younger sister’s death. Cast out by her father and hated by all her pack, she lived in the rogue lands for a decade, marked as cursed. After ten years in exile, Ava Duskthorn finally returns to the Blackvale Pack on her 18th birthday only to be publicly rejected by her fated mate, Alpha Caden Varkas—who claims her sister Seraphina has returned from the dead to take her place. But Seraphina isn’t the sister she once knew…and something ancient and evil is wearing her face. Betrayed by blood and bound by a cursed mate bond. Ava must choose: break the chains of fate or lose everything she’s ever loved. He marked her as his mate—then crowned her sister as his queen. A tale of love, vengeance, and destiny in a world where not all monsters hide in the shadows.

On the day of my marking ceremony, my mate, Alex Burke, and my sister, Rose Roth, are caught mating in the dressing room. This renders me the laughingstock of the entire pack. While I'm drowning in humiliation, the Alpha, Nate Hyland, steps forward and marks me in front of everyone! After we get married, Nate treats me exceptionally well. However, we're never able to conceive a pup. Eventually, I turn to IVF and finally get pregnant. Nate becomes even more attentive to me. He even calls me "Darling" in his sleep. I think this is a blessing from the Moon Goddess. This continues until I hear the conversation between Nate and his Beta one day. "How could you, Nate? Luna Diana adores you and cares for you so much. But just because Rose is scared of pain and doesn't want to go through pregnancy, you secretly switched their eggs and made Luna Diana carry her child? The pup is due in two months! What are you going to do about this?" Nate goes silent for a moment. Then, he sighs softly and replies, "When the pup is born, I'll hand him to Rose and let her live out her dream of being a mother. I'll tell Diana the pup was stillborn. She's just an abandoned Omega. Staying with her for life is compensation enough." So all the love and tenderness he showed me is fake. I immediately schedule an abortion, as I don't want this filthy pup. And I am certainly not holding on to this sham of a marriage either. I may be an Omega, but I am no one's pawn.
