At the wedding banquet, my fiancé arrived late with his first love in a best man's outfit, while the groom's suit was thrown on the sofa in a mess. "Quentin, today is our wedding..." "Natalie!" Quentin interrupted me sharply, his eyes full of warnings. "I think you should know what to say and what not to say. Be accommodating and don't make me hate you." I laughed bitterly. Just because Quentin's first love lost her memory, everyone was playing a game of finding memories with her, so we had to hide it from her and coax her, and not overwhelm her. In order to comfort me, Quentin came forward and hugged me, and whispered in my ear, "Nat, you can understand me, right?" I nodded to show my understanding, turned around, and took the hand of the real best man to join in holy matrimony. Later, when I was shopping in the mall while pregnat, he stopped me with tears in his eyes: "Nat, we were all acting, weren't we? How did you get pregnant?"

For seventeen years, I believed I was nothing, Iris Delta, the unwanted orphan tolerated by a pack that saw me as a burden. The Maxwell quad Alpha heirs made sure I knew my place, tormenting me with cruel words and vicious pranks. I was weak, worthless, invisible. I was wrong about everything. On my eighteenth birthday, Alpha Maxwell reveals the truth that changes everything: I'm Seraphina Blackthorne, the last heir of a bloodline thought extinct. My parents didn't abandon me—they were murdered by the Northern Alliance, who believed they'd eliminated every trace of Blackthorne power. They were wrong, too. The moment my wolf Diamond awakens, the mate bond snaps into place with the four men who made my life hell. Fin, Brent, Kane, and Liam—my tormentors are my fated mates, four pieces of one soul that can only be completed by me. Their cruelty wasn't hatred; it was a fractured soul recognising its missing piece and lashing out in fear. But the Northern Alliance isn't finished. They've come to eliminate the last Blackthorne before I can claim my birthright. What they don't realise is that I'm not just the last heir, I'm the strongest Blackthorne born in three centuries. When divine justice flows through my veins and ghostly wolf spirits answer my call, they'll learn what happens when you try to destroy something the goddess herself has chosen to protect. The Blackthorne line has returned. And this time, we're not going down without a fight.

“Heaven has no rage like love to hatred turned, nor hell a fury like a woman scorned.” ~ William Congreve Aretha Hawthorne has loved and dedicated her whole life to her husband out of pure love and loyalty and to her foster family out of gratitude for having taken her in at her lowest. However, on a day that’s supposed to be the happiest one of her life, she never could have predicted that the same people she loved so dearly would plot such evil against her. Publicly humiliated, heartbroken and also suffering from the loss of her unborn child, Aretha is filled with a deep hatred and an immense rage when she discovers that she’d been played and made a complete fool out of for years by her husband and her foster family. Aretha seeks revenge but knowing that she can’t go against both famous families on her own, especially not with her name still being sullied by the media, she is forced to flee the country to recoup. However, no one expects the disgraced Aretha to return a year later with a fortune that greatly supersedes those of her ex-husband’s family and foster family combined. And even more surprising, she appears to have garnered the attention of neither one nor two but three of the most eligible billionaire bachelors of the United Kingdom, who appear to have become completely smitten by her. Let the game of vengeance begin…

"Nous voilà arrivés à votre nouvel établissement, votre Altesse." Je baissais la vitre teintée pour avoir une meilleure vue de l'édifice avant d'attraper mon sac prête à sortir de la limousine. "Pas si vite mademoiselle." Je me tournais vers Edgar la bouche en cœur. "Cela ne marche pas sur moi, votre Altesse." Je soufflais contrariée et reprenais place sur la banquette arrière. "La directrice de l'établissement va venir vous chercher. Elle vous donnera votre emploi du temps et votre chambre. Vous allez devoir la partager avec une autre jeune fille." Je n'en pouvais plus d'attendre mais je me forçais à rester assise. J'étais dans une limousine après tout je ne voulais pas attirer les regards. "Je peux y aller maintenant? -Abrielle n'oubliez pas que vous êtes ici sous couverture. Personne ne doit découvrir qui vous êtes ou sinon... -Sinon Gaspard risquerait de me retrouver. Je le sais. -Vos parents seraient fières de vous. -Fières? Satisfaits maximum. Je leur obéit au doigt et à l'œil sans rechigner. On me cache d'un psychopathe qui me veut du mal pour prendre de l'argent à mes parents. Personne ne sait que j'existe... -Ils font cela pour votre bien. Ils tiennent à vous. -C'est cela oui. Je ne les ai pas vus depuis mes quatre ans. Ils ne m'ont même pas envoyé de carte pour mon anniversaire. Tout ce que j'ai d'eux est une carte bancaire. Pour moi ce n'est pas cela tenir à quelqu'un. J'ai de la chance qu'ils aient acceptés que j'aille à l'école avec les autres adolescents de mon âge. Si ça ne tenait qu'à eux je serais enfermée dans une tour. -Mademoiselle Abrielle... -Je serai sage."

Please make love to me like it's going to be our last night.” - Levana Heididea Lambrix Susulitin ko na lang ang mga sandaling ito na kasama siya dahil baka ito na rin ang huli. Kung magkita man kami ng hindi inaasahan, maaaring hindi niya ako makilala o kung makilala man niya ako, sigurado ako na matinding galit niya ang sasalubong sa akin. Handa naman akong tanggapin ‘yun.  Wala siyang kaalam-alam na ako tao na matagal na niyang pinaghahanap, ang taong nagtangka na tapusin ang buhay ng uncle niya noon at ako pa rin ang taong kikitil sa buhay ng nag-iisang pamilya niya ngayon. Kapag nalaman niya ito, panigurado na kamumuhian niya ako.  ┅┅┅┅┅┅┅༻❁༺┅┅┅┅┅┅┅ Si Levana o Ashen Veil ay nagkaroon ng mission na tapusin ang isang politician, ngunit nagkaroon ng aberya dahil hindi ito napuruhan. Nakatakas ito at itinago ng pamangkin nito. Nang malaman ni Levana kung sino ang pamangkin ni Danilo, agad siya nagsagawa ng plano. Nag-apply siya bilang secretary nito at natanggap naman. Sa hindi inaasahan, nahulog ang loob nila sa isa't-isa pero kahit minahal ni Levana ang binata, priority niya pa rin na tapusin ang buhay ng nag-iisang pamilya ng lalaking pinakamamahal dahil ito ang mission niya at maglalaho na lang na parang bula.  Magagawa nga ba niya takasan ang lalaking minamahal at obsess sa kanya? Paano kung magbunga ang kanilang pagmamahalan?  Ano nga ba ang mas mangingibabaw, mission o pag-ibig?

Trois ans auparavant, j'ai drogué l'héritier mafieux, Victor. Après cette nuit de folie, il ne m'a pas tuée. Au lieu de cela, il m'a baisée jusqu'à ce que mes jambes faiblissent, en m'agrippant à la taille et en murmurant le même mot encore et encore : « Principessa ». Alors que j'allais lui demander sa main, son premier amour, Isabelle, est revenue. Pour la rendre heureuse, Victor m'a fait renverser par une voiture, a fait jeter le relique de ma mère à des chiens errants et m'a envoyée en prison... Mais quand j'ai finalement été brisée, m'envolant vers Marseille pour épouser quelqu'un d'autre, Victor a mis Paris sens dessus dessous pour me retrouver.
