With his help, she begins to uncover the truth of her identity. She wasn’t an omega but the purest blood of her kind. Her discovery draws enemies, and she soon was forced to return to the world she fled in search of a cure for her son. She learned that the Alpha King had been finding her for years, and now, she was torn between two powerful men. Her fated mate, who once chose to believe lies over her, but is now seeking redemption, and the Lycan who stood by her when no one else would. Both are unwilling to back down for Cleo’s heart, while Cleo races against time to save her son.

Roseanne Moonveil has just woken up from a coma, only to find herself arranged to marry Damian Fenrison—a cold Alpha and arrogant CEO harbouring countless secrets. Roseanne knows their marriage isn't about love but cooperation. Yet, the longer she stays near the wounded Alpha, the more she realizes there’s so much more hidden behind his icy gaze. Damian Fenrison lives in the shadow of loss. As the Alpha of the Aeternum Pack, he lost Lyra, the mate who was the center of his world. To Damian, Roseanne is nothing more than the Omega needed to strengthen his pack—nothing more, nothing less. But who would have thought that the stubborn Omega would challenge his every belief and slowly rewrite his view of her? As their hearts begin to connect, fate seems determined to tear them apart. One by one, truths about the past come to light, shaking the fragile bond between Damian and Roseanne. Can a new love blossom amidst the shadows of the past, allowing them to become each other's salvation? Or will the truth bring nothing but devastation to them both?

She needs freedom and he needs a wife for convenience. They both agree to have a fake marriage by mutual consent, something that would benefit them both in their lives, without even foreseeing the mess they were getting into. Brenda Harper thinks there is no worse place than her home, where her overprotective parents suffocate her with rather backward ideas about marriage and life. That's why she decides to find a prospect for herself before her parents choose a repulsive old man for her. Giovanni Romano is an old family friend, although the last time they saw each other they were children, but thanks to Giovanni's mother, they arranged a date where they talked about their interests and desires, something they had in common and led them to a brief marriage of convenience. Living together begins, where they have to adapt to each other's routines and comply with the terms they both set for their marriage, although it becomes increasingly difficult for them to be apart from each other's lives. Brenda starts feeling jealous, which is a problem since Giovanni clarified that he had his sexual life covered, although he hadn't told her that he had a special woman he planned to marry after finishing the deal with her. Things go wrong when the sexual attraction they feel leads them to a night of passion, but the intrigues of Fiorella, Giovanni's love, and misunderstandings, separate them and Brenda discovers shortly afterward that she is pregnant, so she leaves for another country without saying anything. The problem is that Giovanni realizes his feelings and goes to look for her, which causes a lot of tension between them when a third party appears on the scene.
