Raising her own children, Samantha strived and overcame. Little did she know, her twins meant to find a daddy, and they weren't settling for any less! At three years old, her babies asked, "Mama, where Dada?" "Umm... Dada is far away." That was the easiest way for Samantha to explain to her kids the absence of a father.

After nearly six years, Samantha returned to the place that had long forsaken her, Braeton City.

However, one day, her twins came to her with glistening eyes and announced, "Mommy! We found Daddy!"

Nabuntis si Samantha Davis at wala siyang alam tungkol sa lalakeng nakabuntis sa kanya. Matapos siyang itakwil ng kanyang ama, nilisan niya ang lungsod para magsimula muli. Pinalaki niya mag-isa ang mga anak niya, nagsumikap at nalampasan ang hirap. Lingid sa kanyang kaalaman, hinahanap ng kambal niyang mga anak ang tunay nilang ama at hindi sila pipili ng iba! Sa edad na tatlong taong gulang, nagtanong ang mga anak niya, “Mama, nasaan si Dada?” “Ano… nasa malayo si Dada.” Ito ang pinakamadaling paraang para kay Samantha na ipaliwanag sa kanyang mga anak ang dahilan kung bakit wala ang ama nila. Sa edad na apat na taong gulang, nagtanong sila muli. “Mommy, nasaan si Daddy?” “Ano… nagtatrabaho siya sa Braeton City.” Pinili muli ni Samantha na magpalusot. Napagtanto niya na sasagutin din niya balang araw ang tanong ng mga anak niya tungkol sa kawalan nila ng ama at napagdesisyunan na oras na para sabihin ang totoo. Pero, isang araw, lumapit ang mga anak niya sa kanya habang kita ang kinang sa kanilang mga mata, “Mommy, nahanap na namin si Daddy!” Nakatayo sa harapan niya ay isang bloke ng yelo, si Mr. Ethan Wright, ang pinakamakapangyarihang businessman sa lungsod.

I conscientiously perform my duties as the Luna of the Blackwood pack throughout our three years of bond. During every cycle of the full moon, my Alpha, Damon Slater, insists on personally preparing Wolf Essence Elixir for me. He claims it enables me to manage my duties as Luna with greater ease. I trust him implicitly, never doubting his words. It is only later that the shaman reveals that "the elixir" is actually Shadowmoon Drug—a forbidden drug that induces infertility. I haven't even had the chance to question him when Isabelle Turner, his lover, brazenly posts a sonogram confirming the Alpha's pup in the group chat. Damon, my Alpha, does nothing, letting Isabelle accept everyone's pledge of loyalty to her. Damon coldly reminds me that our bond serves a purely political purpose for the alliance and then aggressively questions me about what grievances I still hold. He thinks of me as merely a means to serve the alliance, a tool that can be replaced at any time. He is completely wrong about that, though.
