The Stolen Life

Finish the mission, Seven, or we finish your sister." My handler's voice is static in my ear. Clinical. My sister's heartbeat still echoes from this morning's audio clip, steady, for now. Across the Volkov's gilded ballroom, my three targets watch me with possessive hunger. Alexei, whose brutal hands lift my chin like I'm something precious. Dimitri, who counts my lies like other men count coins. Nikolai, whose kindness is the most dangerous weapon of all, because it's the first thing that cracked my programming. I was engineered for this. Genetically modified to be immune to their mate bond, sculpted into the perfect weapon to destroy the most dangerous werewolf mafia family in Russia. Six months to make them love me. Six months to kill them. My immunity is failing. I feel it when Nikolai's touch doesn't repulse me. When Dimitri's suspicion feels like concern. When Alexei's cruelty looks more like pain. The bond I was supposed to fake is stitching itself into my bones, real and terrifying. Now my handlers want the kill. My sister's life for theirs. But the man who created me is their uncle. This isn't a mission, it's an eighty-year revenge, and I'm the blade he sharpened to cut his own bloodline. They think they've claimed their fated Luna. I'm carrying the knife that could end them. And I'm not sure which is sharper anymore:the silver in my sleeve, or the hope in my chest that maybe, just maybe, I could belong to them instead of my creators.

Hindi kailanman inakala ni Luhan na ang isang gabing dapat ay simpleng “boy’s night out” lamang ang sisira sa pinaghirapan niyang relasyon at nakatakdang kasal kay Stephanie. Sa isang iglap, nasangkot siya sa isang gabing puno ng alak at kalituhan—at nagising na may nangyari sa pagitan niya at isang babaeng hindi niya kilala. Sa desperasyong linisin ang kanyang pangalan, hinanap niya si Bella, ang kaibigang maaaring makapagpatunay na hindi niya ginusto ang nangyari. Samantala, pasan ni Cattleya ang mabigat na responsibilidad bilang ina kay Kesleigh, isang batang may sakit sa puso. Sa gitna ng problema sa pera, pagkawala ng tirahan, at trabaho, napilitan siyang tanggapin ang alok na maging sekretarya ng isang istriktong boss—si Luhan. Sa una’y puro iringan ang namagitan sa kanila, lalo na nang pagbawalan siyang magdala ng anak sa opisina. Ngunit habang tumatagal, unti-unting nahulog ang kanilang mga puso sa isa’t isa. Naging masalimuot ang lahat nang muling manggulo si Stephanie at unti-unting mabunyag ang koneksyon ng nakaraan. Isang rebelasyon ang yumanig sa mundo ni Cattleya—si Luhan ang lalaking nakatalik niya noon. Sa takot na mawala ito, itinago niya ang katotohanan, hanggang sa isang hindi inaasahang pagtatagpo ang naglantad ng lahat. Dumagdag pa sa kaguluhan ang paglitaw ni Caloy na nag-angking ama ni Kesleigh. Nasubok ang tiwala ni Luhan, ngunit pinatunayan ng DNA test na siya ang tunay na ama. Sa araw ng pag-alis nina Cattleya patungong ibang bansa, pinili ni Luhan na habulin sila—handa mang maghintay, umaasang balang araw ay mabubuo rin ang kanilang pamilya.
