Larissa Moretti viveu um namoro de cinco anos. Intenso o bastante para virar notícia em Aurimare. No dia de assinar os papéis do casamento, ele simplesmente... não apareceu. Ali, a paciência dela morreu. Larissa terminou. O noivo virou ex. E ela jurou: não voltaria atrás. Nunca. Só que a engrenagem do destino não parou. Um telefonema mudou tudo. Por puro orgulho, Larissa se casou com Arthur Vasconcelos, o homem frio com quem mal falava, e o irmão mais velho do seu ex. Arthur era o homem mais cobiçado de Aurimare. Brilhante, intocável. Foi ele quem levantou um império financeiro que atravessava fronteiras. Um magnata que o mercado respeitava. E, quando o nome Vasconcelos era citado, até gente poderosa baixava a voz. Depois do casamento, porém, Arthur só tinha uma regra: Larissa. Ele a tratava como raridade. Protegia, cedia, colocava o mundo em ordem com a mesma naturalidade com que tirava um fio de cabelo do rosto dela. Até o dia em que o ex a humilhou, chamando-a de inútil, como se ela não valesse nada. Arthur nem discutiu. Um soco seco. O irmão dele no chão. Ele se inclinou um pouco, a voz baixa: — Minha esposa é o meu tudo. Não existe joia neste mundo, por mais rara e brilhante, que chegue perto da luz dela. Tudo o que for dela, eu apoio. Insulte-a de novo e você está fora da família Vasconcelos. Para sempre. Só muito tempo depois Larissa entenderia. O homem que ela sempre temeu a amava havia dez anos. E aquele "casamento por impulso"? Foi um plano paciente. Um laço doce armado para ela cair... e nunca mais querer sair.

Ivone Marques foi como tantas mulheres que só despertavam depois de serem esmagadas pelo amor: ela tentou, com todas as forças, fazer um homem como Fabiano Moraes se apaixonar por ela. Mas, depois de três anos de casamento, os dois viviam como completos estranhos. Quando Ivone ficou entre a vida e a morte, vítima de uma armadilha cruel, Fabiano, em vez de estar ao lado da esposa, acompanhava a antiga paixão da vida dele. Ivone decidiu arrancar aquele homem do coração, ainda que isso rasgasse a alma dela. Só que ela não imaginava que aquele sujeito, acostumado a mandar em tudo e em todos, não ia aceitar ser descartado tão fácil. Ele passou a rondar a vida dela como um fantasma insistente, se aproximando passo a passo, afastando qualquer outro homem que tentasse chegar perto e fechando todas as rotas de fuga dela. — Lá atrás, foi você que fez questão de se casar comigo. Enquanto eu não disser que a gente se divorciou, você não vai sair da minha vida nunca! — Declarou ele, certo de que ainda mandava nas regras do jogo. Ivone o encarou com frieza e respondeu: — Sinto muito. Sr. Fabiano, você já foi chutado pra fora do jogo por mim faz tempo. Quem decide o divórcio sou eu. Se eu digo que acabou, acabou.

— Luna, a cirurgia para remover a marca do Alfa é excruciante. Depois disso, você será tratada como uma renegada sem alcateia. Tem certeza absoluta de que deseja seguir em frente com isso? — Sim. Eu quero ser uma renegada. O curandeiro do mercado negro estava completamente atônito. Todo o mundo dos lobisomens acreditava que o Alfa Ethan estava perdidamente apaixonado por mim. Há apenas alguns dias, ele havia gasto cem milhões de moedas de ouro para me comprar a "Mansão do Luar", enchendo-a com minhas flores da lua favoritas. Inúmeras lobas sonhavam em ser marcadas por um Alfa tão apaixonado e poderoso. Mas eu não hesitei. Após remover a marca, imprimi um Acordo de Rescisão de Vínculo de Companheiros e reservei um voo para uma alcateia europeia para uma semana depois. Adeus, Ethan.

"Sign the papers, Estella." Marco slid the divorce papers across the mahogany table, his eyes fixed on Claudia, who hovered by his side with a victorious smile. "Did you really think a nobody like you could keep me?" Estella's throat tightened as she forced herself to meet his gaze. The diamond on Claudia's finger caught the light—his best friend now wearing what should have been hers forever. "You should be grateful," Claudia murmured, resting a hand on her belly. "Letting you go is the kindest thing we've done for you." When Estella married into the powerful Valdez family, she believed in love conquering all. Instead, she found herself cast out, Helena Valdez herself showing her the door when Claudia announced her pregnancy. Then Alejandro De Luca appeared—Marco's sworn enemy offering an unexpected proposition. "A contract marriage," he said simply. "You get protection. I get revenge." Together, they plotted to dismantle the very family that had humiliated her. With each calculated move, Estella reclaimed pieces of herself she thought lost forever. But revenge is a dangerous game. As their plan unfolded and tragedy struck, Estella discovered that survival meant more than settling scores—it meant learning to wield her pain as power. The quietest heart, after all, often hides the most dangerous storm.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

To save my husband, I drank until my stomach bled. Despite making it to the hospital, no one would treat me—all because he, a prominent surgeon, forbade anyone from attending to his own wife. In a previous life, he had saved me, a deed that fate cruelly repaid: the same day he saved me, his beloved, Lily Evans, tragically died during surgery. Consumed by regret, he lamented, "If I hadn't saved you, she might still be alive." On my birthday, in a twisted celebration, he intoxicated both me and our daughter. In a horrifying turn, he used his surgical skills to ruthlessly stab us both. As I lay bleeding, I begged for our daughter's life, pleading with him to spare her, his biological child. He coldly justified his brutality by claiming that being tied to me caused him to miss his chance with his true love. Fueled by a desperate need to protect my daughter, I fought him ferociously. He inflicted thirty-eight merciless wounds on me before turning his murderous intent towards our child. As I faced death, my last sight was of him, his decision clear as he once again chose his lost love over his living family.

Dad and my brother, Jonah Atwood, have always favored my sister, Lisa Atwood, while resenting me. At my coming-of-age ceremony, when several werewolves in the Blackwolf pack corners and harasses me, it's Rex Vaughn, the Alpha's heir, who steps in to protect me. He throws the most extravagant mate-bonding ceremony for me, right before the Moon Goddess. Overnight, I become someone every other female wolf wishes they could be! I'm seven months pregnant when I show up at Lisa's birthday party. Somehow, we're ambushed by dark magic. As always, Dad and Jonah put Lisa first. They throw everything they have into shielding and dragging her out of the enemies' barrier, leaving me trapped in the center of the spell circle, nearly consumed. In the end, it's Rex who pulls me out. Later, I wake up in Stone Cabin, only to walk right into a scene that makes my blood run cold. "You paid off an old witch from the Darkmoon pack to set up that spell circle?" Rex's eyes blaze red with fury. "She's only seven months along, and you were already trying to rip the pup out of her? "What? Were you hoping Lily and her pup would blow up and die together?" Jonah and Dad shrink back, trying to explain themselves. "Lisa's wolf is fading fast. The old witch said the only way to save her and her wolf is to sacrifice someone with the same blood immediately…" Rex snaps, "I care about Lisa more than either of you do! Why else do you think I claimed Lily as my mate? Sure, I want to save Lisa, but not by sacrificing Lily and her pup!" That is how I learn the truth. Rex didn't bond with me because he cared. He did it to save Lisa. As it turns out, he's no different from Dad and Jonah. All they ever see is Lisa, the weak-born wolf. I was never part of the picture to begin with. Since no one's ever truly cared about me, I'll walk away with my pup.
