Samson Carroll's father, who is the CEO of Carroll Group, is hospitalized, and my sister decides to return to the hospital to work as a nurse. She throws herself into the role—donating blood, helping with emergencies, and keeping watch at his bedside around the clock. Soon, everyone's calling her a hero in scrubs. One night, she blocks the hospital room's security camera. She plans to kill the patient and forge a will so that Samson will marry her. I tell her it's too dangerous. The Carrolls are an influential family with deep pockets and powerful connections, after all. A few kind words and a forged will aren't enough to sway them. But she lashes out at me, calling me an idiot. She says that everyone in Jansbury knows Samson does whatever his father tells him to do. I drag her home, still trying to talk sense into her. "The Carroll family has ties to both the authorities and the underworld. They're untouchable," I explain. "If Samson finds out you lied to him, the consequences are unimaginable." Halfway home, she grows increasingly agitated. "Tonight was my only chance, and you ruined it! You're just jealous I'm about to become a rich man's wife! Go to hell!" Then, in a fit of rage, she shoves me into an open manhole by the side of the road. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the night I brought her dinner at the hospital.

Nos últimos dois meses, venho recebendo fotos. Fotos do meu companheiro predestinado, Andrew, transando com sua amante, Crystal — uma ômega sedutora. [Querida Luna, Andrew deixou tantas marcas em mim ontem à noite. Ele disse que sou a única que já o fez sentir um orgasmo de verdade.] [Ah, e aquela famosa habilidade calmante da qual você tanto se orgulha? Eu também tenho. Ele diz que agora posso te substituir completamente.] [Não se preocupe, vou cuidar muito bem do seu companheiro por você.] Nas fotos, a marca do batom de Crystal se destacava de forma gritante sobre a marca de companheiro de Andrew. Olhando para aquelas mensagens, a incredulidade se transformou em desespero e, por fim, em uma frieza entorpecente. Até esta noite, a Deusa da Lua finalmente respondeu às minhas orações desesperadas. Eu poderia sacrificar metade do meu dom calmante para romper sozinha o nosso vínculo de companheiros. Em sete dias, vou finalmente deixar Andrew para sempre.

When I'm at the hospital for a prenatal checkup, I find out that the husband of the woman sitting beside me is Rupert Hensley, a renowned businessman. It's such a coincidence. Rupert is my husband, too. As we chat, I learn that her husband isn't with her because he's out of town for a meeting. This is even more coincidental—my husband is also out of town for a meeting. After a long silence, I decide to get an abortion instead of going for my prenatal checkup. It's only when I later ask for a divorce that I remember he and I never registered our marriage in the first place.

She was sent to kill. Instead, she might be the one destined to end it all. Lea, a top-tier assassin for the secretive High Table, has never missed a mark—until now. What was supposed to be a routine mission turns into a long-term “quest” in the quiet town of Mystique Gore, assisting a cold, commanding man in a mansion older than memory. Strange? Yes. Dangerous? Definitely. But what’s worse? The mission wasn’t for a target... it was for *her*. Marked by a power she doesn’t understand and haunted by dreams that aren’t hers, Lea finds herself entangled in a world she never believed existed—one ruled by vampires, witches, and werewolves hiding in plain sight. And at the center of it all is Ivan, the enigmatic master of the house who knows more than he says... and watches her like she’s already his. As her assassin instincts clash with ancient prophecies, forbidden truths, and a mark that binds her fate to something much bigger, Lea must uncover why the High Table sent her here—and why the supernatural world is afraid of *her*. They say she’s the beginning. They say she’s the end. They say she must die to keep the peace. But Lea doesn’t take orders. She gives them.

Kieran Vale, the feared Alpha King, has never bowed to anyone—and never will. Cold, ruthless, and untouchable, he rules the shadows with blood and power. Eli is nothing like him.

When he stumbles upon a dying stranger in the forest, he makes the mistake of saving him. That stranger is Kieran. And before Eli can escape, Kieran marks him. Now bound by a bond neither of them wanted, Eli is dragged into a hidden world of Alphas, enemies, and deadly secrets. Hunted by those who want the Alpha King dead, Eli becomes both a target… and Kieran’s greatest weakness. But Eli refuses to submit—and Kieran has never been denied. Between danger, obsession, and a bond that burns deeper each day, one question remains: Will they destroy each other… or fall into something neither of them can control?
