Sila'y pinag-isang dibdib ng kanilang masidhing pagnanasa— ang maghiganti at manubos para sa mga inosenteng buhay na isinangla kay kamatayan. Kapwa nanumpang palaging iingatan, poprotektahan, pahahalagahan, at mamahalin ang isa't isa mula sa araw na ito at sa mga susunod pang bukas, subalit ito'y hindi pangkaraniwang kwento ng romansa. Sila'y kapwa nanunumpang dudurugin, sasaktan, kasusuklaman, at kikitilin ang buhay ng isa't isa mula sa araw nang pagkakabunyag ng nakaraan at sa mga susunod pang bukas, hanggang si Kamatayan na mismo ang tumapos sa kanilang ugnayan. Bilang nag-iisang anak ng tanyag na mafia boss, lumaki si Quinn Amara Montejo sa pagkandili ng mga baril at patalim. Sa paghele ng karahasan at kalupitan, kanyang nasaksihan ang walang-awang pagbawi sa buhay ng kanyang mga minamahal. Ganid at uhaw sa dugo ang kaniyang kinalakihang mundo. Tila isang bombang nasa binggit ng pagsabog, rebelyon ang kanyang nakitang tanging susi upang makalaya mula sa anino ng kaniyang ama, ngunit agad itong natuldukan nang mag-aklas ang mga guhit sa kanyang palad. Ni hindi naligaw sa kanyang hinagap ang pagpapakasal, lalong hindi kay Gunther Zenith Dragoza, isang tanyag na business magnate na maraming sikretong itinatago. Lahat ay umaayon sa plano ng binata subalit kung siya'y ipinagkanulo't pinagtaksilan ng sariling puso, sino ang mananaig? Paghihiganti o pag-ibig? Dalawang pusong buong tapang na naglayag sa iisang sagradong tipanan. Sa bisig ng isat isa nga ba nila matatagpuan ang tahanang kanilang matagal na pinananabikan, o sila'y kapwa estrangherong dumaong lamang sa maling isla?

Loriah Dee has never truly belonged. Orphaned young, with no family, she clings to the only thing that feels like home—music. Winning a scholarship to one of the country’s most prestigious universities is her one chance to chase her dream of becoming a singer. But campus life brings more than sheet music and rehearsals. It brings Draco Thorne. Draco is the heartthrob of the university—, devastatingly handsome. Only a select few know that he is a werewolf, destined for a Luna chosen by his powerful family. But from the moment he sees Loriah, he wants her. At first, she is just a distraction— a dazzling freshman with innocence in her eyes and the hottest body he has ever seen. Winning her over proves a challenge. Desperate to have her, Draco lies to gain her trust. Slowly, she lets him in. But Loriah’s world comes crashing down one night while working at an upscale restaurant. There, she sees Draco seated at a lavish family dinner, surrounded by wealth and privilege, a stunning fiancée at his side—his future wife. In an instant, every lie begins to unravel. She quietly begins to piece together the truth. Bit. She discovers the deception, the secrets, the double life he has woven around her. She has given everything to him. Her first time, her first kiss, her trust. She had bared her soul to him. But he had left her with nothing else to give, trampling on her love and leaving her to gather the pieces of her soul. By the time Draco realizes Loriah is not just another girl, but the only one he has ever truly loved, she is already gone. And he is left with nothing but regret, longing, and the hollow echo of the song she carried into his life.

“Bakit sumunod kayo rito?" tanong n'ya sa mga kaibigan n'ya. “Nandito ang bagong misyon natin kaya pinapunta kami ni Boss dito." sagot ni Via sa kan'ya. "Sino?" tanong ko kay Via. “Ang pamilya Lazardo." sagot naman ni Fritzie. “The hell! Ang pamilya ni Franz,?" gulat kong tanong sa kanila. “Kilala mo ang mga Lazardo?" tanong naman ni Mau. “Guys, naalala ninyo iyong lalake na nakabangga ko sa Hongkong?" tanong ko sa kanila. “Anong kinalaman ng lalake na 'yon sa misyon natin?" tanong ulit ni Mau. “Puta naman oh! Ano question and answer portion ba ito ha Pia?" naiinip na tanong ni Cassy. “Ang nakabangga ko sa Hongkong na lalake at ang tinutukoy ninyo na pamilya Lazardo ay related sa isa't-isa. Siya lang naman ang panganay na anak nina tita Victoria at tito Mauro." mahabang paliwanag ko sa kanila. “So iyong lalake na tinutukoy mo ang mas dilikado ang buhay dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana ng isang Mafia Boss." sabat ni Via sa usapan. “What the hell!? Ibig sabihin si tito Mauro ay isang Mafia Boss! Kaya pala no'ng kaarawan ni tita Vicky ay may nagtangka sa buhay nila, mabuti nalang at matalas ang pakiramdam ko kaya nakita ko 'agad ang tatlong lalake na balak sanang maglagay ng lason sa mga baso ng mga Lazardo," mahaba kong paliwanag sa kanila. “Pero ang pinaka punterya nila ay iyong lalake dahil s'ya ang tagapagmana sa lahat kaya mas dilikado ang buhay n'ya." saad ni Mau. “Kaya lumapit ang mag-asawa kay Boss upang humingi ng tulong para maproteksyonan ang mga anak nila." sabi naman ni Via. "At nabalitaan namin na may mga ibang grupo na ang 'andito sa probinsya kaya kami napasugod 'agad." dagdag pa ni Via. Paano pagnalaman ni Franz na ang babaeng nasa likod ng maskara at ang babaeng pinakamamahal n'ya ay iisa?

Renzo, the Alpha who claimed her first, burns with a dangerous obsession. His love is no gentle devotion—it is possession, relentless and consuming.
