Understanding By Design

“A Luna is meant to be graceful and elegant not…” His mother sniffed, her nose up in the air, “not this.” Disdain and disgust dripped from her words. Every word felt like a blow to my heart, I kept still, waiting for Roland to come to my defense like a good mate. I sent a pleading gaze to him but all I got was an icy stare in return, but I still held faith in my heart. He sighed and his gaze softened with something that looked like self-loathing, “I'm sorry Selena, you're not just Luna material,” His gaze shifted to the person beside me, “And I'm in love with another.” There was a ringing in my ears as time slowed and my world came to a standstill, “W-what?” I choked out, dazed. Selena was the fat unwanted twin, the one her mate rejected for her prettier, slimmer sister. Once rejected, betrayed and left for dead, she almost gave up on life itself. When she stumbles into the arms of two alpha werewolves the world fears, she doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Four years later, she returns, stronger and fiercer, a queen in her own right. The weak fat wolf is dead and in her place is someone they would never see coming. A weapon. Vengeance.

Rejected. Humiliated. Broken. On the night she was meant to find love, Aria lost everything. Publicly rejected by her fated mate and cast aside like she was nothing, she fled into the darkness—wounded, alone, and hunted by the shame she couldn’t escape. But the forest didn’t offer safety. It offered him. A man more dangerous than any rejection. A King feared by every pack. A predator who doesn’t ask, doesn’t hesitate… and doesn’t take no for an answer. He didn’t save her. He claimed her. Bound by a force she doesn’t understand, Aria finds herself trapped under the rule of a ruthless Alpha King whose presence ignites both fear and something far more dangerous. He is cold, dominant, and impossibly powerful—and he’s decided she belongs to him. Now, there are rules. Rules she must follow. Rules she must survive. Rules that blur the line between control and desire. But Aria is not as weak as they believe. Beneath her pain lies something rare. Something powerful. Something that could either destroy her… or make her unstoppable. As her past refuses to let her go and her rejected mate begins to regret the biggest mistake of his life, Aria is caught between two worlds—one that broke her… and one that threatens to consume her completely. And the deeper she falls into the King’s dark world, the more dangerous the truth becomes: She is no longer just a rejected wolf. She is something far more powerful. Something worth fighting for. Something worth destroying kingdoms for. And when her true strength awakens… She won’t just survive. She’ll make them all kneel.

After I've completed 98 tasks for my fiancee, Cheryl Landeau, she finally agrees to marry me once I've completed the 99th task for her. For that task, I'm required to pick her up outside her company. On the day I stand outside Cheryl's company with a huge flower bouquet in my arms, I don't see her at all despite having waited till late night. Soon after, I get hospitalized due to a high fever. When I tap on my phone, the first thing I see is a photo of the marriage certificate belonging to Cheryl and her assistant, Jason York. Jason even includes a caption with the photo. "My mom is very satisfied with her daughter-in-law. Please take good care of me from now on, my dear wife." The next day, I hang a banner outside the company. "May Ms. Landeau and Mr. York grow old in harmony and be blessed with children." All of my colleagues are stunned, to say the least. At that moment, Cheryl quickly pulls me into her office. She then explains, "Jason's mom is severely ill. Her death wish is watch him get married. What's wrong with me fulfilling her wish? Can't you show more kindness toward Jason? "Now, stop throwing that tantrum of yours and get rid of the banner. Once Jason's mom passes away, I'll file for a divorce from him." I just smile as I set off more fireworks at the doorway. "Oh, you don't have to bother with a divorce. I'm worried that his mom might come back to life soon. Let's just end things here."
