Handa ka bang talikuran ang isang pagsasamang nabuo lamang mula sa isang kasinungalingan? "Naiintindihan ko kung bakit kinamumuhian mo ako, Diane. Huli na rin nang malaman ko ang ginawang panloloko sa'yo ni Caleb pero maniwala ka man o hindi, nagawa niya lamang ang lahat ng iyon para sa akin, para sa kapakanan naming dalawa ng anak kong si Theo. Kaya hanggang maari, huwag mo sana siyang sisisihin." "Malinaw sa akin ang lahat nang ikinasal kaming dalawa ni Caleb, Serena. Alam kong may limitasyon ang pagsasama naming dalawa at kung si Theo ang pag-uusapan, malinaw sa akin ang karapatan mo bilang biological mother." Ngumiti ito— isang ngiting hindi niya maintindihan kung ano ang ibig sabihin. "Hindi na ako magpapaligoy-ligoy pa, Diane." Inilatag nito sa mesa ang isang dokumento at sinadyang itulak ng kamay papalapit sa kaniya. "Handa na akong bawiin ang mag-ama ko. Heto ang application for annulment ninyong dalawa ni Caleb..." Pinakinggan niya ang mga sinasabi nito mula umpisa hanggang dulo. "Ibig sabihin, handang ibigay sa'yo ni Caleb ang mansyon at ang rest house sa Tagaytay. Maliban doon, handa siyang bayaran ka ng limampung milyon bilang kabayaran sa limang taong pagsasama ninyong dalawa." Muling nagtama ang mga mata nilang dalawa, doon nasilayan niya kung paano naging nakakalason ang maamong ngiti ni Serena kanina. "If you think everything's okay. Pwede ka nang pumirma." Nanatiling blanko ang ekspresyon niya sa kinatatayuan. Hindi nito alam kung matutuwa ba siya o masisilaw sa mga ari-arian at milyones na alok ng dalawa. Dahil kung tutuusin, isa lang naman ang gusto niya...gusto nitong makalaya mula sa mala-impyernong buhay kasama si Caleb.

“So you didn’t think you needed to tell your mate he can’t have a child? You thought you could just hide it from me?” “Hide it from you? Are you serious? You’re the one sleeping with my own twin sister in our bed, and you have the nerve to stand there asking me absurd questions like that?” Eamon’s jaw tightened as he took a step closer. “You’re in no position to speak to your Alpha like that, Lyra.” “Position?” I laughed. “You want to talk about position? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself? Even the Beta shows more responsibility than you do. You destroyed everything we had, everything I believed in, and you think you can just throw your title in my face like it fixes any of this?” ***************** He betrayed her with her own twin.

They say the happiest moment in a Lycan’s life is when they finally meet their fated mate. But what happens when you reject your fated mate just to be with your chosen one—only to realize you made the biggest mistake of your life when the one you chose abandons you and picks someone else? That was exactly what happened to Amelia Blake. After discovering she was pregnant with the child of her boyfriend and chosen mate, Lucas West, she was cruelly rejected by him. Instead of staying by her side, he chose her stepsister, Olivia Blake. What Amelia didn’t know was that everything had been planned from the start by her stepsister and stepmother. They wanted Lucas—the Alpha of their The Crescent Moon Pack—for themselves. Ever since her mother died and her father left the empire, her stepmother had been slowly poisoning her, leading to the loss of her unborn child… and eventually, her own death. Before she drew her last breath, the truth was finally revealed to her. “Even with your dying breath, you’re still a fool, Amelia. You’re too kind, just like your mother. That’s why you’ll die without even putting up a fight.” With her final breath, she vowed she would seek vengeance. She swore she would make every single person who hurt, used, and belittled her pay the price. And when she opened her eyes again, she found herself back in the past one year before her death. There, she met again the fated mate she once rejected and decided she would use Lorcan Ashford—Lucas West step-brother, as her weapon in her revenge.
