A year after my husband's passing, I visited the chapel at the old Wilson manor to pay my respects, only to find his name missing. Infuriated, I stormed into the Wilson household. Houston Wilson sighed with resignation, "Laurel, Jaiden asked me to have him and Reina laid to rest together." He continued, "He said that he and Reina missed their chance in this life and wanted to walk side by side in the afterlife." Reina Gutierrez was Jaiden Wilson's first love... When I blinked again, I found myself back on the day Jaiden brought Reina back from Europe. This time, I didn't hold on. Instead, I honored his wishes and ended our engagement, throwing myself into a confidential research project. Immersing myself at a leading research institute, I helped place our work at the forefront of biomedical engineering worldwide. --- Sunlight seeped through the curtains, bathing my face. I slowly opened my eyes, my head heavy and my throat burning, leaving me weak and exhausted. This pneumonia struck with a vengeance, sapping my strength with a constant fever and relentless cough; I had been recuperating at home for a week.

The steady beep of the heart monitor was the only sound breaking the silence in my private room at Cedars-Sinai. Outside, Los Angeles wept, rain streaming down the window like tears I could no longer shed. My own had dried hours ago, leaving nothing but a hollow ache where my heart—and my child—had once been. I stared at the ceiling, counting the tiny holes in each tile. Anything to distract from the emptiness inside me. The doctors had been clear: the complications from my miscarriage were severe. A hysterectomy had been necessary. Emergency. Life-saving. Life-saving.

I was just the maid on his yacht. He was the arrogant billionaire I couldn’t stand. Then the ship went down… and suddenly, he needed me to survive. “You don’t own everyone,” I reminded him for the umpteenth time. Maya Daniels only wanted to earn her paycheck and stay invisible. But when she’s forced to serve Liam Ashford the cold, dangerously charming heir to a billion-dollar empire, she becomes the target of his cruel games. Until a tragic accident leaves them stranded on a remote island… with no one but each other. He’s spoiled, entitled, and used to giving orders. Well, guess what? She’s done taking them.

I checked my watch as the Uber pulled up to our Presidio Heights home. Four hours early. Cameron wasn't expecting me until tonight—the perfect surprise after landing the Westbrook account in Seattle. My heels clicked against the marble foyer as I set down my carry-on, the house eerily quiet except for the distant hum of the air conditioning. "Cameron?" I called out, my voice echoing through our minimalist modern home. No answer. I slipped off my blazer and headed toward our home office, hoping to finalize the contract details before he returned. The afternoon sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating dust particles dancing in the air. Cameron's laptop sat open on the desk, screen still glowing—unusual for my meticulous husband who treated his devices like extensions of himself. I moved to close it when a notification flashed across the screen.

After my mate’s betrayal, I found myself sifting through his old phone. There, buried deep in his messages, were conversations that revolved around another she-wolf’s name with every word. "Lulu, if not for the pack’s interests, Amelia Bennett wouldn’t hold my attention for a second." "Every encounter with her makes me sick; you’re the one I truly love." Reading these affectionate yet damning words made my heart feel as if it had turned to ash. When I blinked again, I found myself revisiting the day the Bennett and Harper packs arranged their union. This time, I chose to let go willingly and decided to mate Ayden Harper, Emmett’s aloof and proud uncle. --- In the grand hall of the Silver Moon Pack, my father, Gamma Bennett, suddenly stood from his seat, his broad frame towering over the room. "Lia, are you sure you want to mate the Alpha of the Red Claw Pack?" With firm resolve, I replied, "Yes, Father, I’m sure." After a long pause, he sighed, his strong jaw tightening. "Alright, if that’s your decision, I’ll inform Alpha Harper." Once Father left, Emmett burst into the hall, his presence commanding despite his rogue status. "Amelia, the pack healer said if Lulu doesn’t undergo surgery soon, she might not make it through the year." "When will you finally donate your bone marrow to her?" I looked at him coldly, memories of a past life flooding in. Back then, I had been manipulated into undergoing a bone marrow transplant.

Three years after I buried an empty casket for my husband, I found him alive in a grocery store parking lot. He was rubbing a stranger's pregnant belly, smiling a soft smile I had never seen in our years of marriage. My husband, the ruthless Don of Chicago, had become "Arthur," a gentle man with no memory of the empire he ruled or the wife he left behind. To protect his happiness, I swallowed my agony and lied. "I am his cousin," I told his pregnant fiancée, Mia. I brought them home to his estate, enduring the torture of watching him give her the tenderness that used to belong to me. But my mercy was rewarded with cruelty. Dante looked at me with cold, unfamiliar eyes and slapped divorce papers onto the table. "Sign them," he demanded, his voice devoid of emotion. "I want to marry Mia before the baby comes. I want a fresh start." He didn't know I was dying of a heart defect caused by the stress of grieving him. He didn't know I stalled for two weeks not for money, but because I wanted to be buried with his name. I died the morning the deadline arrived, taking the secret of my love to the grave. Ironically, that very night, a bullet grazed his temple during an ambush, unlocking the memories he had lost. He remembered the peach orchard. He remembered our blood oath. He remembered that I was his soulmate. He ran to my brother’s gates, screaming my name, blood pouring down his face, desperate to beg for forgiveness. But my brother just stood there, blocking the entrance to the cemetery with a cruel smile. "She waited for you every single day," he spat. "And you killed her."

I was kidnapped alongside Cecilia Montoya, the new fiancée of the man who destroyed my life. Her fiancé, Damond Crane, was my ex-mate-the one who framed my father for treason just so he could marry her. He arrived with a duffel bag full of cash, his face a mask of heroic worry for Cecilia. The Rogues took the money and shoved her into his arms. But then their leader pointed at me, tied to a pipe in the corner. "What about the spare?" he sneered. "A little extra for the pretty Omega you left behind?" Damond didn't even hesitate. He looked right at me, his eyes as cold and empty as a winter sky. "She's nothing," he announced, his voice echoing in the silent warehouse. "A worthless Omega not worth a single coin. Do what you want with her." He turned his back on me. He walked out the door with his new love, leaving me to be torn apart by monsters. In that moment, my soul didn't just break; it shattered into dust. Just as the Rogues unbuckled their belts, a shadow dropped from the rafters. It was Waylen Montoya, Cecilia's brother, the most feared Alpha in the region. He landed between me and them, his power a crushing weight. He knelt before me, his voice a low, dangerous promise. "Did you really think I'd let them have what's mine?"

When the man who promised forever is only playing for keeps, Maya learns the cruelest lesson of all: the deepest love can hide the darkest lies.

She believes in second chances, in beauty that heals, in people who stay. Then comes Aaron. Charming. Attentive. Devastatingly perfect. He sees her soul, remembers every whispered dream, makes her feel truly seen for the first time. What starts as electric connection spirals into intoxicating devotion-or so she thinks. But Aaron is hiding more than secrets. He's a man who has mastered the art of deception, a gay man navigating a world that forced him to perform, now driven by cold ambition.

As possessiveness masquerades as passion and every sweet gesture hides a calculation, Maya ignores the warnings, the cracks, the gathering storm. Until the mask shatters. In the wreckage of betrayal, Maya faces the hardest choice: cling to the illusion of love that nearly destroyed her, or rise from the ashes and paint a future that's finally hers. A haunting tale of manipulation, hidden truths, and the price of trusting too easily-where love isn't blind... it's a weapon.

He ruthlessly exposed Keifer and Fabiola's murder plot, sending them to federal prison. Three months later, Dominic stood before her rebuilt headstone in a pristine white tuxedo. "It's finally over. I can finally come pick you up." He pulled out a silver scalpel and slit his own wrist, leaving a bloody kiss above her carved name as he died. Bryn fell to her knees, screaming and sobbing uncontrollably. The boy she thought hated her had loved her with his entire life, while the parasites she trusted had killed her. Why had she been so utterly blind? A blinding light swallowed her soul, and Bryn suddenly snapped her eyes open. She was standing by her high school lockers, completely alive. She had returned to exactly three years before her death.

There, everyone receives a class and a blessing from the gods to start a new life. While his friends acquire powerful classes like knight, mage, healer, and assassin, Raka is given the class considered the weakest and most shameful: the One Tree Branch. - Considered a burden and a threat to the group, Raka was betrayed and hunted by his own friends on their first day of arrival. Cornered in the Forbidden Forest, a place known as a region full of monsters and death, Raka discovered his class' true ability: Devour Root, the power to absorb the attributes, energy, and even skills of anyone he kills. - Since then, his life changed completely. - To survive, Raka is forced to kill monsters, bounty hunters, and the people who hunt him. Each victory makes him grow stronger, while his class weapon slowly evolves from a lowly twig into an increasingly terrifying weapon. - In the midst of his struggle for survival, Raka meets Nara, a mysterious girl wielding two daggers who has her own agenda in the Forbidden Forest. Together with Nara, Raka enters the Core Zone, the mysterious center of the forest filled with ancient ruins, artifacts, and a dangerous organization called the White Council. - There, Raka discovers that his class resonates with a mysterious entity called the False World Tree, a giant tree that is the source of the anomalies in the Forbidden Forest. - The deeper he unravels the secrets of the False World Tree, the more it becomes clear that the One Tree Trunk class is not a failed class, but rather a forbidden fragment of the true World Tree-a power that has long been sealed away because it was thought to be capable of destroying the balance of the world. - Now Raka is at a crossroads: take revenge on his friends who betrayed him, or pursue the truth behind the World Tree fragment that is now directly connected to him. - But one thing is certain, the more power he absorbs, the closer he gets to something far more dangerous than death: losing himself and becoming the new vessel for the World Tree.

I spent three years making myself small, hiding my sketchbook beneath silk blouses just to keep the peace in a marriage that felt like a museum. Then, Blair came home early, bringing his first love, Keely, into our living room to serve me with divorce papers. He didn't look at me, only at the legal document he’d laid on the glass table like a death warrant for my entire life. He told me to be smart and sign it, while Keely smiled and thanked me for keeping his home and wearing her clothes while she was away. I had been nothing more than a placeholder, a shadow filling the space she’d left behind, and now I was being discarded without a cent or a home. I looked at the Baccarat chandelier and the life I had tried so hard to build, suddenly realizing that I had spent three years desperate for a love that was never on offer. I signed the papers, took nothing but my sketchbook, and walked out into the freezing November rain with three hundred dollars to my name and nowhere to go. I was nothing, I was alone, and I was entirely free. I stood on the corner of the street, shivering in the downpour, and made a desperate, insane gamble when a black car pulled up to the curb. I looked at the stranger behind the tinted glass and asked the only question I had left: "Do you need a wife?"
