What Is A Redemption Arc

The day I win the cheerleading championship, the entire arena erupts with cheers for my team. But from the stands, my brother, Nelson Locke, hurls a water bottle straight at me. "You injured Felicia's leg before the performance just so you could win first place? She has leukemia, Victoria! Her dying wish is to become a champion. Yet you tripped her before the competition, all for a trophy! You're selfish. I don't have a sister like you!" My fiance, who also happens to be the sponsor of the competition, steps onto the stage with a cold expression and announces, "You tested positive for illegal substances. You don't deserve this title. You're disqualified." All the fans turn against me. They boycott me entirely—some even go so far as to create a fake memorial portrait of me, print it, and send it to my doorstep. I quietly keep the photo. I'll probably need it soon anyway. It's been three years since I was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Knowing I don't have much time left, I choose to become the type of person they always wanted me to be—the perfect sister who loves without question, the well-mannered woman who knows when to keep quiet, and the kind of person who never, ever lies.

"His lips traced the curve of her neck, searing fire into her skin as his hands roamed, claiming every inch of her. Selene gasped, arching into him, her nails raking down his back. “Say it,” Ryker growled against her throat, his breath ragged, his body demanding. “Say you belong to me.” But she wasn’t just his. She was power itself. And tonight, she would show him exactly why." A strikingly beautiful and powerful Alpha, she was raised to lead her pack with strength and wisdom. But on the night of her ascension, she was shattered. Her fated mate—the one destined to stand beside her—rejected her. Publicly. Brutally. And in that moment, Selene broke. Or maybe… something awakened. As the humiliation settles like poison in her veins, Selene discovers a truth long buried—she is Moonborn, the child of an ancient prophecy. With power that eclipses even the strongest Alphas, she is meant to rule not just her pack, but all packs.. Then there’s him. Ryker—a rogue wolf with a past carved in blood. He steps into her territory like a storm, bringing with him danger, temptation, and secrets as deadly as her own. Their attraction is instant. Catastrophic. And though she fights it, Ryker is the one who stirs her deepest desires. But is he her salvation? Or her downfall? Betrayal lurks within her own pack. An enemy from the shadows seeks to claim her throne. The council of elders wants her power erased. And when Ryker’s true agenda is revealed, Selene is faced with the most devastating heartbreak of all. But she is no longer the broken Alpha. A story of rejection, seduction, and the rise of a ruler who will not be tamed. The Lunar Queen is coming. And she bows to no one.

“I’m sorry, Donna… the baby didn’t make it.” Those words shattered her world. Her husband’s betrayal finished the job. Once Luna of Ironclad, Donna is cast aside—rejected, beaten, and sold like cattle. The people who once bowed before her now laughed at her humiliation. Even her closest servants turned against her. “Five years without an heir. She has no value left.” But on the auction block, when all hope was lost, a stranger’s voice cut through the crowd. “One million.” The hall fell silent. His presence makes even Alphas bow their heads. And when his eyes meet hers, Donna felt it— the undeniable pull of a bond she thought was lost forever after being rejected. “She is mine,” he declared. “My mate.” Broken. Betrayed. Branded again by fate. Donna’s story is just about to begin.

Lumi-as someone who's being told what to believe and hope in everything as she grows up-reckons that living is a way to comply with and entrust one's entire life to serving superiors on top of the hierarchy. Who will not think of that way anyway? Being harbored in the lands of Castellanos, it is engraved in her mind that she lives to pay her debt of gratitude to the family who sheltered her, who protected her from all the cruelties the outside world has to offer behind those fences. What they're doing is to protect her life and welfare-that's what they told her. So there's no other way to live but be the gullible and obedient yokel of the Castellano clan, because they're doing everything just for her safety. But that's before her life turns upside-down as she discovers a strange note from the attic. "To whoever finds this message, they erased us. This is all that remains. Remember us, please." What does the note want to convey? Is it just one of those mundane trivial stuff found in an attic like the usual when someone decides to clean it? Or is it something connected to her... "safety?" For sure it is for her safety. That's what they always tell her. But what one hears is not always the version of reality. Most of the time, it is the most convenient scheme to twist and bend the truth. That... That's what they will never tell her.

Rejected and humiliated, Becca was cast aside by Alpha Desmond, the mate who was supposed to cherish her. Determined to prove her worth, she became a healer, using her skills to earn a place in the pack that shunned her. But when she is falsely accused of a crime and sentenced to death, her fate seems sealed. Until Alpha Eugene—Desmond’s long-lost brother and the rightful ruler—stops the execution with a shocking claim: Becca is his mate. Now caught between the Alpha who despises her and the one who swears to protect her, Becca must fight for her own destiny. Will she finally earn her place, or has fate already decided her path?

To "fix" Leonard Rinehart's oh-so-tragic depression, Naomi Gaffron—yeah, the same girl who once swore she'd only ever marry me—secretly tied the knot with him. So I gave in. Played along with the family's little matchmaking stunt. Married Aurelia Spencer—Brieton City's golden girl who'd been obsessed with me since forever. For seven years, she clung to me like I was oxygen. Every night, curled up like she'd break if I moved. I thought that was happiness. Then one night, I caught her whispering to her best friend: "Leonard's already got international awards. When are you dumping Leone?" "Whatever—I'm stuck with someone I don't love anyway. Doesn't matter who I married. Someone's gotta keep an eye on Leone so he doesn't screw up everything Leonard built." I checked her study. Found a hidden folder—over 100,000 photos of Leonard. A hundred unsent love letters. Even I couldn't fake it anymore. Bought a silicone dummy. Laid out the plan. The fire would be step one. Dead or alive—we're done.

Laya’s world is falling apart—haunted by a past she can’t outrun and a future she never chose. When shadows resurface and loyalties are tested, survival might cost her everything.

“Just give in, Catalina,” Theodore urged. No way was I going to. After the worst night of my life, the last thing I planned to do was accept his ridiculous proposal. I mean, who coaches a grown man on how to win his fiancée? “I’ll help you find your son,” he added as I walked away. I froze, his car stopping alongside me. “You need my help as much as I need yours. Don’t be stubborn.” Frustration burned through me. “Why would you want me? Didn’t you see what happened with my family? I’m the villain here!” Theodore stepped out, closing the distance. When his fingers brushed mine, I sucked in a sharp breath. He grinned. “Well, in my story, everyone gets a second chance.” His thumb traced my knuckles, eyes playful but intent. “Even the villain.” ------------------------------------------------------- Catalina Rodriguez has always been the black sheep of the wealthy Rodriguez family.
