Who Killed Gyokko

My Mating Ceremony with my fated mate, Alpha Ronan, was supposed to be the biggest event of the year. Broadcast live. Worldwide. Every wolf would witness the union of the Black Moon Pack's Alpha and Luna. But right before my ceremony, I was staring at a video on my phone. Tears streamed down my face. "Harder, Ronan. It'll be so hard to see you after your ceremony." A she-wolf, pinned beneath Ronan as he slammed into her. He growled, going harder and sinking his teeth into her neck. "Don't you worry, you little minx. I've already got a potion to dull the bond. I can sneak away to fuck you, even on our mating night." I saved the video. Shut my phone. I contacted an agency that specialized in faked werewolf deaths. "Seven days from now. At my Mating Ceremony. I need you to stage an attack. I want to fall from a cliff into the sea, in front of everyone."

My boyfriend’s cousin went to live at his place after her divorce. Not only did she have a five-year-old, but she was even pregnant. She regarded my boyfriend as her support as if it were her right and blamed me for everything. She thought I had taken away her cousin. At a family gathering one day, her son splashed a drink at me and yelled, "You’re not allowed to steal my dad!"

Upon hearing about my husband's surgery, I braved a typhoon and torrential rain, driving four hours back to the city. When I arrived at the hospital, my husband, Xander Gray, was lying on the hospital bed, calling out loudly, "I want my wife! Get my wife here!" His buddies around him joked about how his wife had him completely whipped. Everyone said he loved me to death. Blushing, I walked over with a happy smile and held his hand, saying, "I'm here." To my surprise, he shook off my hand in disgust and snarled, "Get lost! You're not my wife! My wife is Beverly Long!"

Living all alone, Luna has never experienced love since the passing of her parents. The beautiful girl lives with her own aunt. Unfortunately, her aunt is cruel and heartless. Luna’s aunt even dared to sell her at a black market auction. The girl could do nothing but bow her head to her unfortunate fate. However, destiny had other plans-Luna met Draco Riordan, the man who bought her virginity. Everything began from here. Draco is a mysterious man who hides millions of secrets, while Luna is an innocent girl who knows nothing. The universe brought together two people from very different backgrounds. Draco, full of vengeance, meets a warm-hearted girl. So, what will become of their relationship? Will they unite, or are they like oil and water that cannot mix?

On the night Elara is meant to be announced as Luna, her Alpha mate chooses another woman instead. No rejection words are spoken, but the betrayal is loud enough to shatter her bond and dignity. Elara leaves the pack in silence, carrying a secret that will change everything. Three years later, Alpha Kael feels the mate bond burn back to life. The Luna he discarded has returned, stronger, untouchable, and no longer his to command. This time, regret will not be enough.

When I returned from a mission, I found my Alpha mate, Wyatt, had tattooed his Beta's sigil next to our sacred mating mark. I cut my mission short, stormed back to the pack, and publicly declared my intent to Reject him. The mating mark is sacred, a symbol of two souls eternally bound. Desecrating it is the gravest insult to the Moon Goddess. Wyatt tore the rejection papers to shreds, casting them to the ground. Fury blazed in his wolfish eyes. "Over a sigil? You're tearing us apart over a meaningless symbol. Are you insane?" "Do I look like I'm kidding?" I sneered. "Fine. Let the Moon Goddess be your judge." The color drained from his face. "Faye, if you dare go through with this, I'll strip Rory of his birthright. He'll never be Alpha." "How could I be cursed with a mother like you? You're ruining my future as Alpha! I hate you!"My son, Rory, snarled from the side, his eyes burning with hatred. I looked at this father and son, who was now both strangers to me, and my heart turned to ash. My fingers tightened on my herb pouch. "The moment your father desecrated our mark," I said, my voice eerily calm, "I was already done with you."

Every she-wolf in the Blackwood Pack envied me. Olivia Klein, the lowest-ranked Omega who married the most powerful Alpha, Dominic Blackwood. Yet none knew the truth of my torment. The Phoenix mark on my neck made me Dominic Blackwood’s Luna—but it never made me his choice. For five years, I endured his hatred, the pack’s scorn, and the crushing weight of a prophecy no one believed. And when the car crash nearly stole our unborn child from me, my desperate calls went unanswered. Instead, Dominic moved his ex into our bedroom. That’s when I understood: prophecies lie. Marks fade. And some battles? Aren’t worth fighting. For the sake of my child, I was resolved to leave. But tell me, why did that callous, heartless Alpha suddenly have regrets?

Two years into her marriage, nakaupo si Ysabel Gomez sa Quezon City Civil Registry, hawak ang marriage certificate nila ni Rafael Jimenez. Pero sa isang iglap, naglaho ang lahat nang matuklasan niyang peke pala ang kasal nila. Every I love you’s… Every promise of forever… it was nothing but lies she had foolishly believed. Dahil natuklasan niyang si Rafael Jimenez, ang lalaking minahal niya ng anim na taon, ay kasal na pala sa isang propesor na mas matanda sa kanya. She felt her world crumbling into pieces. “I’m unmarried. Childless. And I’ll inherit everything,” mariin niyang wika sa abogado nang kaniyang ama. Sa unang pagkakataon, pinili niyang pakinggan ang sarili. Tahimik siyang naglaho sa mata ng lahat. Hindi para magtago, kundi para bumangon. At nang muling makita siya ng mundo, hindi na siya ang babaeng minsang niloko at iniwan. Siya na ngayon ang babaeng tinitingala ng lahat. Confident, elegant, at nakatayo sa tabi ng isang makapangyarihang lalaki na hindi siya tinrato bilang pag-aari, kundi bilang kapantay. Habang pinapanood naman siya ni Rafael, doon napagtanto ng lalaki kung ano ang sinayang niya. And as Ysabel smiled before the flashing cameras, surrounded by a world that once pitied her, a smirk plastered on her face. Her story wasn’t over yet. This was only the beginning.

Everyone fears the King. But what the King fears is losing me. And that makes him even more dangerous to me.
