Under The Sky Room 553

My mom has always been biased toward my younger sister, Nina Henderson. But before she passes away, she leaves the only house she owns to me. Meanwhile, Nina, who has always been the apple of my mom's eye, obtains nothing but a jewelry box. Just as I'm about to feel touched, I see comments springing in front of my eyes. "The truth is, their mom owes someone a huge sum of money. She left Leah her house because she wants Leah to take over the debt. In the end, Leah is forced to jump off a building by the debt collector. What a poor woman." "Nina, on the other hand, is able to marry the richest man's son thanks to the photo hidden inside the jewelry box. She gets to enjoy a lavish and comfortable life." "It's such a shame that Nina begins cursing at her mother the moment she hears the will being uttered. Because of that, her mother dies of anger before she can tell Nina the whole truth." I'm left feeling dumbstruck. That night, I dig up the jewelry box that Nina has thrown away. Then, I'm able to track down the richest man's villa.

Selene’s life was ordinary—until the night it wasn’t. A promising young woman with dreams and a quiet life, she never imagined that one moment of trust could shatter her world. Kidnapped by unknown assailants, she awakens in a secluded house with two strangers—Lucien, calm and commanding, and Asher Night, the enigmatic barista she thought she knew. As Selene begins to recover, she discovers that her body, her senses, and her very instincts are awakening in ways she never expected. The people who saved her are not what they seem—they are werewolves, part of a hidden world of packs, power struggles, and rivalries, and Selene herself is caught in the crossfire. Between dangerous attacks, forbidden truths, and the mysterious pull she feels toward Asher, Selene must navigate a life where danger lurks in the familiar, loyalty is tested, and love is as perilous as it is inevitable.

In a world where trust is a risk and survival depends on knowing who—and what—you really are, Selene must decide who to fear, who to follow, and how far she’s willing to go to protect herself… and the people she’s only just begun to care for.
