When I was born, the nurse handed me over to my parents, and the smiles on their faces instantly vanished. Hovering over their son's smooth head was a line of numbers that no one else could see. 6570 days. It was exactly 18 years. Not a day more, not a day less. The nurse thought they were just nervous first-time parents, but my parents knew the truth. That number was my lifespan. While everyone else in the delivery room was celebrating a new life, my parents were staring at my death. For the next 18 years, I was the most precious person in the family. No matter how poor we were, the eggs were always mine, the new clothes were always mine, and the meat was always mine. My younger sister could only look on enviously. My parents often told her, "Let your brother have it. He doesn't have much time left." I was well-behaved from a young age, never causing trouble, quietly waiting to die. On my 18th birthday, I blew out the candles and said a sincere goodbye to the world. The next day, my parents and sister, dressed in black clothes, walked into my room with swollen eyes. I rubbed my eyes, smiled at them, and said, "Good morning." The air froze. The sadness on their faces slowly turned into astonishment, then coldness.

Ava Thorne never felt she could be Alpha Jackson Wolfe's mate, a merciless man. She was weak and helpless, unable to match the force and domination his pack demanded. Driven by three indisputable reasons—his pack needed a strong Luna, his desire to find an alliance with another strong Alpha through marriage, and a deep-rooted dread of vulnerability—something Ava's presence brought too near to the surface—the rejection was quick and forceful. Ava departed broken and humiliated, but she left with more than just dashed dreams. She carried his secret: twin heirs to the Blood Moon Pack developing inside her. Ava comes back five years later, no more the defenseless girl she once was. She is a mother, strong in her own right but still delicate in ways that trouble Jackson. Jackson understands too late what he threw aside as foes near and treason threaten his pack. But as he finds out about his kids, old scars come back and rivals hiding in the shadows start to stir. Jackson has to choose whether he would fight for the family he unintentionally built or let darkness take over everything considering the possibility of losing everything. Ava's life is thrown back into peril; one mistake might ruin both of them.

My father was a highly respected criminal investigator, and my mother was the head of the ER, dedicated to saving lives. However, I was a regular at the local police station.

My father dragged me straight to the police station in front of everyone and had me locked up for a full day and night. The second time, I led a gang of thugs to block my cousin’s way home in an alley. My mother was so furious, she dumped me deep in the mountains, leaving me to be bullied by a lecherous bachelor.

We will only believe she is changed for the better when she is dead.” So why was it that when they saw me lying in a pool of blood after shielding a hostage, they finally cried?

Even got herself in trouble just to be noticed by him. And then on her 18th birthday, she was waiting for her wolf to come out so it could reveal her mate. And then she finds out it was her father's Beta, the one man she had always fantasized about.

Until her father, his Alpha, told him to guard his daughter while he went far away from the pack.
