The Malay Archipelago

When I learned that Holly Jones had gone to deliver cold medicine to her young assistant, even though she knew I was trapped in the elevator and suffered from claustrophobia, I asked for a divorce. Holly signed without hesitation. Smiling at her best friend, she said, "Jim is just throwing a little tantrum. His parents are gone, so there's no way he'd really divorce me. Besides, there's a thirty-day cooling-off period before it's finalized. If he regrets it, I'll graciously forgive him and take him back." The very next day, she posted a couples' photoshoot with her assistant, captioned: [Capturing your every sexy moment.] I counted the days. Calmly, I packed my belongings and made a phone call. "Uncle, buy me a ticket to Hudson City."

Si Kaelen Vireaux ay isang makapangyarihang bilyonaryo na kinatatakutan at hinahangaan sa mundo ng negosyo. Ngunit sa likod ng kanyang tagumpay ay ang mga taong lihim na naghihintay ng kanyang pagbagsak. Isang gabi, matapos siyang ipagkanulo ng sarili niyang mga kasosyo at tangkaing patayin, nawalan siya ng malay sa gitna ng dagat. Nagising siya sa isang liblib na isla—walang alaala kung sino siya, kung saan siya nanggaling, o kung bakit siya naroon. Ang tanging taong tumulong sa kanya ay si Aelira Bloom, isang tahimik na island girl na namumuhay nang simple sa gitna ng isang maliit na hardin ng mga gulay at halaman. Kilala siya sa sitio bilang kakaiba, dahil tila may malalim siyang koneksyon sa kalikasan. Sa kanyang mga kamay, ang mga halaman ay mabilis tumubo, at ang mga baging ay tila gumagalaw na parang sumusunod sa kanyang kagustuhan. Habang tinutulungan ni Aelira si Kaelen na makabangon at matutong mamuhay muli, unti-unting nabubuo ang isang malalim na ugnayan sa pagitan nila. Sa gitna ng katahimikan ng isla at ng simpleng buhay na natagpuan niya roon, dahan-dahang nahuhulog ang puso ni Kaelen sa babaeng nagligtas sa kanya. Ngunit ang nakaraan ay hindi madaling takasan. Kapag bumalik ang kanyang mga alaala, babalik din ang mga taong nagtangkang pumatay sa kanya mga taong handang sirain ang lahat para sa kapangyarihan at kayamanan. At kapag nalaman nila kung nasaan siya, hindi lamang si Kaelen ang magiging target… kundi pati na rin ang babaeng nagbigay sa kanya ng bagong buhay. Sa isang mundong puno ng pagtataksil at kasakiman, kaya ba nilang ipaglaban ang pag-ibig na umusbong sa isang tahimik na isla? O tuluyan itong mawawala, tulad ng mga lihim na tinatago ng dagat?

On the day that I returned to the country, Lola Lawson, the one who was once the love of my life for ten years, sent me a picture of a baby. She told me to think of a name and meet her at the city hall to register the baby, as she had prepared a welcome-home gift for me. So, I rushed over with bags full of baby supplies. But when I arrived, she and her girlfriends were bent over with ridicule and laughter. "I told you! Even though he was gone for a year, he's still a loyal lapdog! Just a wave of my hand and he'd even be willing to raise someone else's kid for me!" She sized me up with mocking amusement. "Kevin Sheraton. How could you still be this naive? Just one joke and you come running?" They laughed without any restraint, calling me names and hurling insults, saying I'd do anything for Lola. But when I walked past them and took a number to register my own child's birth, and later wrapped my arm around my wife as the three of us took a family portrait, Lola's eyes were completely reddened with tears.

For ten years, Isaac was my fated mate. My Alpha. My future. Then, on the eve of his Alpha Ceremony, he chose another she-wolf to be his Luna, Chloe. His reason? She was wild and free...everything I used to be. "We are FATED MATES!" I screamed, my hand flying to the mark on my neck. "How can you defy the Moon Goddess? How can you just throw me away?" My wolf howled through our bond, trying to make him feel my pain. The backlash should have crippled him. But he didn't even flinch. It wasn't a real mark. Just a lie, painted on with magic. A trick to chain me to his side. My legs gave out. I hit the floor, a raw sob tearing from my throat. When the tears dried, the grief turned to ice. I stormed the Elders' Council and demanded they sever the bond. Then, I did the unthinkable. I chose his cursed uncle, Vincent. Isaac laughed. He thought it was a pathetic game to make him jealous. He had no idea. The Elders had already named his uncle the new Alpha. He didn't understand his mistake until he saw me crowned Luna on Vincent's arm. Only then did he come crawling back, begging for a forgiveness I would never give.
