"Eyes on me, Willow," he hissed, voice dangerously low. "I won't let you sit there and pretend it's someone else." I bit my lip, shaking my head. "Look at me!" he ordered. The sheer command in his voice had my eyes flying open. "Good girl, I won't have you pretend I'm the wrong brother." ****************************** Willow Thompson thought the worst thing that could happen to her was public humiliation. She was wrong. Because catching her boyfriend cheating in the hockey locker room is only the beginning. Theo Spencer is popular, charming, and used to getting everything he wants. Breaking up with him should have ended the drama. Instead, it starts a war. A war that drags in his stepbrother. Aiden Cross — the Alpha’s son, captain of the hockey team, and the most dangerous wolf in the school. When Willow impulsively kisses Aiden on the ice in front of everyone, it’s supposed to be revenge. Nothing more. A fake relationship meant to drive Theo insane. But the more time Willow spends with Aiden, the harder it becomes to remember what was supposed to be fake. Because beneath the cold exterior, Aiden is protective, relentless… and dangerously easy to fall for. And Willow has secrets of her own. Secrets that could turn the entire school upside down. Because Willow Thompson isn’t just the scholarship cheerleader everyone thinks she is. She’s also the hidden daughter of one of the most powerful men in the supernatural world. Now jealousy is turning to obsession. Enemies are beginning to circle. And in a school filled with wolves, vampires, and power-hungry rivals, Willow is about to learn one very important lesson: Falling for the Alpha’s son was never supposed to happen. But surviving the fallout might be even harder.

What is obsession? Am I obsessed? At first, I was just his substitute, then I became his real bride, then the supposed real bride returned, and I was kidnapped, tortured, and forced to divorce. Then I committed suicide because I couldn’t handle it, but I didn’t fucking die. Then I became a stalker of my ex-husband, who barely remembers me because I was declared dead by the world, and my face got melted down when acid was poured on me. I had a surgery that changed my whole face and my entire identity. Then I started working for him again and he fell in love with the new me, yet still traumatized by the old me, so I had to reveal to him that I was the same person. He was happy and relieved, but the world wasn’t. We were chewed on, spat out, and stepped on. Then he was fired from his company by his grandmother, who adopted a new son to take over the company. Then I was kidnapped again, and bombs were planted on me. We were able to defuse the bomb and escape. Then we were shot in the head by God knows who. His surgery was successful, but mine wasn’t, so I forgot everything about him and was forbidden to remember because a damn bullet is stuck in my head that could kill me if it moves to a sensitive part of my brain. Then suddenly, he was on the TV, framed for murder. I couldn’t hold back, I found myself in prison fighting for him with a gun in my hand, and somehow ended up in a coma, because the damn bullet in my head shifted… to the wrong direction. Then, in between this chaos, the doctor announced I-was-pregnant.

I take a live-in nanny job to escape campus bullies. My new boss? Jax Steele—the hockey captain who leads the pack tormenting me. Living under his roof changes everything. Late-night arguments end with my back against the wall, his mouth crushing mine, his hands gripping my thighs as he lifts me effortlessly. I hate him. I want him. The line between the two dissolves every time his fingers trace my curves like I'm something precious instead of the "fat nerd" everyone mocks. Then his wolf recognizes mine. We're both werewolves. And I'm his fated mate—the one woman his wolf is screaming to claim, mark, own completely. But Jax is engaged to someone else. The college queenbee. I thought that's the only reason we can't be together. But I've just discovered something that changes everything: I'm not just any werewolf. I'm royalty. Ancient. Powerful. Dangerous. My wolf isn't meant to submit to an Alpha. She isn't meant to be a Luna. But an Alpha herself. Duty wrestles with primal needs. Our wolves wants to fuck so hard, yet we can't be together. Can our destinies really be reversed?

I never thought he’d leave me on our ten year anniversary. I gave him everything, my youth, my dreams, my heart and he tossed it all away like I was nothing. Months of heartbreak, solitude, and tequila later, I’m barely holding it together. Then comes the invite: his wedding. The one where he’s marrying her. And me? I’m supposed to smile and clap? That’s when an idea lands in my lap a chance to fakedate the city’s hottest hockey star, the man every paparazzi swoon over. It’s supposed to be simple: protect his image, help him play the perfect boyfriend… maybe get over my ex in the process. But what I didn’t expect was the heat, the lust, the danger of wanting him… or him wanting me. Between stolen kisses in empty arenas, the paparazzi hunting our every move, and the ex who thinks he still has a chance, I’m discovering the dangerous thrill of power, passion, and revenge. But as my fake love story becomes dangerously real, I realize one thing: the game isn’t over, and I might just win… or lose everything I’ve dared to desire.

At the very beginning, he had said to her, "Wanwan, I shall fill your days with joy and happiness." Later on, he had said, "Ye Wanwan, why don't you go to hell?" As she stood upon the edge of a cliff and looked down into the abyss below, a serene expression settled on her face as she whispered helplessly, "It seems that after everything we've been through, we won't be growing old together after all, my dear Qing."
