Introduction

It was six years ago when they met and got separated for reasons still unknown to her. Now that she's on the path of making her own name and taking back what's rightfully hers, she might again need his assistance. Will she strike a deal with him again? Will she put her trust again on the man who had once betrayed and left her without saying anything? Will she take the risk of going over it again for the sake of her long planned goal?

Chapter 1

*“Ladies and gentlemen, Philippine Airlines welcomes you to Alicante. The local time is 2:00 am. For your safety and the safety of those around you, please remain seated with your seat belt fastened and keep the aisle clear until we are parked at the gate. The Captain will then turn off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, indicating it is safe to stand. Please use caution when opening the overhead compartments and removing items, since articles may have shifted during flight.”

“Señoras y señores, Philippine Airlines les da la bienvenida a Alicante. La hora local es las 2:00 am. Para su seguridad y la seguridad de quienes lo rodean, permanezca sentado con el cinturón de seguridad abrochado y mantenga el pasillo despejado hasta que....."

Rian was awakened from her deep sleep by the sound of the PA system signaling their landing.

"You awake?"

She turned to her side and saw Ethan sitting beside her.

Yes," she mumbled. Ethan responded with a bright smile.

"We're here," he said again. She

didn't reply and started to fix her hair.

"You've still got some drool on your right cheek, hehehe," Ethan said teasingly.

"What the heck! Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Rian panicked while finding some tissues in her pocket.

Meanwhile, Ethan leaned closer to her, making her still. He pulled a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the drool from her face.

"Here you go."

Rian looked away shyly while Ethan held in his laugh.

At the airport, a man in a black suit was waiting for them.

"Good morning, Ms. Marian De Castro and Mr. Ethan Dominguez. I am sent by G&G Inc. to escort you to the hotel. Please come with me."

He then walked the two to the limousine waiting in the parking lot. He was also the one who drove the car.

During the ride, Rian asked the man for his name.

"My name's Leonardo Milady, but everyone around me calls me Leon."

"Guess I'll call you Leon too."

"Please suit yourself."

After almost an hour of driving, they reached their destination.

"You said it was a hotel; I never thought it would be a villa." Ethan chuckled.

"I am sorry for the misinformation, sir. But this villa is also used as a hotel by G&G Inc."

Oh, I see."

"This place is pretty nice, though, Rian complemented.

The said villa is located in a hilly and rural area. It is composed of a two-story house, a private pool, a beautiful lawned garden with gravel and trees, and wonderful views of the sea, the valley, the countryside, and the mountains.

"This place is really good, Ethan said while roaming in the living room.

"Yeah, it feels like we're just having a vacation, Rian beamed.

"I'm going to rest in my room first. The jet lag has started to sink in my system" , Rian said tiredly.

Ok, have a rest. Do you need meds? " Ethan asked worriedly.

"Nah, a good rest will do. You should rest; we'll be going on the battlefield tomorrow." Rian smiled mysteriously.

"A battlefield, huh? Ethan sighed as he understood what she meant.

Upon entering her room, Rian immediately headed to her bed and slumped her body on the mattress. She can't sleep because of the jet lag, but her body is dead tired. In her 23 years of existence, this was her first time boarding a plane. She wants to sleep the fatigue away, but she just can't.

Meanwhile, Ethan, who is sitting on a sofa in the living room, is carefully looking at his laptop. He's reading information about G&G Inc.'s executives and owner. Striking a deal with G&G Incorporation is a crucial step in his and Rian's plan. They may succeed tomorrow in convincing them into a partnership. It has been five years since they started this war. Ethan is thrilled to think that they've gotten this far together.

Rian's POV

I'm really tired. While lying on my back, I closed my eyes because I felt like the ceiling was spinning because of my dizziness. Ugh, I never thought jet lag could be this bad. I should shrug this jet lag off because tomorrow's event is very important. I am nervous and excited at the same time. If tomorrow's deal is a success, the war that I started five years ago will come to an end with me as the winner. I can't stop looking forward to that day. When that time comes, I'll finally be able to repay Ethan's kindness to me. But in the middle of these thoughts, I can't help but remember someone I've already chosen to forget. About someone who made me experience a different kind of happiness and pain. He was the one who made me realize that feelings should be set aside for one to achieve his or her goals. Maybe I should thank him for making me the heartless person I have become now. But I hope that I won't get to do that because that means we have seen each other again. And I pray to the Gods and to my mother's soul to not let me see him again.

“I thought you said you were done chasing me?” Gen mocked.
“I am done chasing you.”
Before she could formulate a witty remark, Matteo threw her down. She landed hard on her back atop his dining room table. She tried to sit up when she noticed what he was doing. His hands were working on his belt. It came free of his pants with a violent yank. She collapsed back on her elbows, her mouth gaping open at the display. His face was a mask of sheer determination, his eyes were a dark gold swimming with heat and desire. His hands wrapped around her thighs and pulled her to the edge of the table. He glided his fingers up her thighs and hooked several around the inside of her panties. His knuckles brushed her dripping sex.
“You’re soaking wet, Genevieve. Tell me, was it me that made you this way or him?” his voice told her to be careful with her answer. His knuckles slid down through her folds and she threw her head back as she moaned. “Weakness?”
“You…” she breathed.

"White wolf! Kill that monster!"
That roar stole my eighteenth birthday and shattered my world. My first shift should have been glory—blood turned blessing into shame. By dawn they'd branded me "cursed": cast out by my pack, abandoned by family, stripped of my nature. My father didn't defend me—he sent me to a forsaken island where wolfless outcasts were forged into weapons, forced to kill each other until only one could leave.
On that island I learned the darkest edges of humanity and how to bury terror in bone. Countless times I wanted to surrender—dive into the waves and never surface—but the accusing faces that haunted my dreams pushed me back toward something colder than survival: revenge. I escaped, and for three years I hid among humans, collecting secrets, learning to move like a shadow, sharpening patience into precision—becoming a blade.
Then, under a full moon, I touched a bleeding stranger—and my wolf returned with a violence that made me whole. Who was he? Why could he wake what I'd thought dead?
One thing I know: now is the time.
I have waited three years for this. I will make everyone who destroyed me pay—and take back everything that was stolen from me.

As they uncover a conspiracy that threatens not just the pack, but the future of every living thing, Kaelen must fight for a kingdom he doesn't know and Lena must confront a legacy she tried to bury. In a world of broken thrones and fated bonds, they will discover that the greatest choice is not between love and duty, but between who you are told you must be, and who you choose to become.
