Introduction
Five years later, Elena returns to her home country with her twins Liam and Luna—now a world-renowned top doctor. Unexpectedly, she finds herself entangled with Arthur once more. His eyes reddening with emotion, he grabs her abruptly and pleads, "Elena, I was truly wrong. This time, I will never let you get hurt again."
Chapter 1
"You're back! You never show up when you should, but when you shouldn't be here, you're stirring up trouble!"
Isabella Mellon had barely stepped through the door when her mother-in-law, Scarlett Lewis, started yelling at her.
Isabella was taken aback.
Was there ever a right or wrong time to come home?
Wasn't this her home?
Knowing Scarlett's temper well, Isabella didn't argue.
If she said the wrong thing, Scarlett would make her kneel as punishment.
Besides, Isabella had been in a car accident today, with multiple scrapes and bruises.
She had just returned from the hospital and was completely exhausted.
"Mom, I'm sorry. I'll go rest for a while..." Isabella started to say, but Scarlett interrupted her.
"No, you can't go in!"
"Why?" Isabella asked, puzzled.
"Because I said so! How dare you question me?" Scarlett's face showed a mix of guilt and anger. "What were you up to today? You're never settled."
"The house chores aren't done, dinner isn't made, and you just want to rest when you get back? Do you think the Carter family married you to be the lady of the house?"
"If it weren't for Terry saving you back then, you might be dead on the streets. You should be grateful every day, keeping this house spotless, and you dare to be lazy?"
All Isabella had done was ask why, and Scarlett unleashed a torrent of accusations.
Isabella, feeling utterly drained, looked at her injuries and her torn, muddy clothes.
"Fine, I'll make dinner."
She chose not to argue with Scarlett.
As she turned into the kitchen, Scarlett's face showed satisfaction, glancing occasionally towards the bedroom.
The kitchen's smoky air made Isabella gag.
She felt awful.
The doctor had told her she was pregnant today.
She had been overjoyed, but then she had the car accident.
Her husband, Terry Carter, claimed he was too busy to even answer her calls.
The nausea worsened.
Noticing Scarlett was no longer in the living room, Isabella went to pour herself a glass of water.
As she finished, she heard noises from the bedroom.
"Terry, be gentle!"
"Baby, can't handle it?"
Isabella stood at the door, listening to the intimate sounds inside. The glass slipped from her hand and shattered on the floor.
"You wretch, what are you eavesdropping on?"
Scarlett appeared at the door.
"Mom, inside..."
"Elora is back. Don't disturb them!"
Disturb them?
Allowing Terry to cheat in their own home was a good thing?
She had given up her career to be a homemaker for Terry, and this was her reward?
Scarlett had sent her to the kitchen so Terry could have an affair in their bedroom!
Absurd!
"What are you standing there for? You cannot conceive, so what if Terry seeks out Elora? They've known each other since childhood!"
"And if you hadn't butted in while Elora was abroad, you think you could have married Terry?"
"You, an orphan with no background, are nothing compared to Elora, the daughter of the Harris family. I'm telling you now, I'm deciding for Terry. You're getting divorced, and Elora will marry in. If you insist on staying, you'll be a servant in the Carter family!"
Scarlett's words made Isabella dizzy.
She didn't want to listen anymore. She just wanted to open the door and confront Terry about why he was doing this.
The next moment, Scarlett grabbed Isabella, preventing her from moving forward.
The force made Isabella slip.
The pungent smell of disinfectant was overwhelming.
Isabella struggled to open her eyes.
The bedside was empty.
She quickly felt her abdomen, where the pain was intense.
The door opened the next second.
A nurse walked in. "You're awake? You need to pay the bill. The person who brought you here left without paying."
Isabella was stunned. "What about my baby?"
"The baby is fine. The CT results show you're carrying twins."
A wave of warmth surged through Isabella's heart, which had been filled with sorrow.
The twins were her children.
"You can't keep getting stressed. The fetal heart is unstable. If you keep fainting like this, you might lose them. Where's your family?" The nurse asked.
Isabella was at a loss.
Just then, a tall figure appeared at the door.
The man, dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, exuded sophistication but looked impatient.
He glanced at the nurse, his tone cold. "She's fine. Discharge her."
He handed over a credit card for the nurse to process the paperwork.
Isabella looked up. It was her husband of three years, Terry.
And just earlier, he had been in their bedroom with his lover.
"Mom said you talked back to her and faked fainting to get into the hospital." Terry's voice was filled with annoyance. "Now stop your nonsense and go apologize to Mom. Or else, I'll..."
"Divorce me, right?" Isabella's voice was calm. "Fine, let's get divorced."
Her tone was firm, without a hint of reluctance.
Terry finally looked at Isabella directly.
Her thin, haggard face and messy hair made her unworthy of being his wife.
And now she dared to mention divorce?
Did she really think he wouldn't dare?
But for some reason, her words made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
At that moment, his phone rang.
"What? Elora... Okay, I'll be right there."
He turned to leave, saying, "Go apologize to Mom and stop causing trouble."
Isabella laughed bitterly.
Terry cheated and now left her to go to Elora, yet she was the one causing trouble?
Her phone buzzed with a notification: [Billionaire Terry announces engagement to young actress Elora.]
So, they were getting engaged!
What did that make her?
A servant to them? Never!
The debt for saving her life was now repaid.
She couldn't, and wouldn't, allow her children to be born into such a family!
She unlocked her phone and dialed a number she hadn't called in a long time.
Three seconds later, the phone was answered.
"Isabella, have you finally decided to come back and take over the family business?"
Five minutes later, a powerful headline dominated the news: [The world's richest family, the Mellons, welcomes their heir back.]

"What is wrong with me?
Why does being near him make my skin feel too tight, like I’m wearing a sweater two sizes too small?
It’s just newness, I tell myself firmly.
He’s my boyfirend’s brother.
This is Tyler’s family.
I’m not going to let one cold stare undo that.
**
As a ballet dancer, My life looks perfect—scholarship, starring role, sweet boyfriend Tyler. Until Tyler shows his true colors and his older brother, Asher, comes home.

**
I hate girls like her.
Entitled.
Delicate.
And still—
Still.
The image of her standing in the doorway, clutching her cardigan tighter around her narrow shoulders, trying to smile through the awkwardness, won’t leave me.
Neither does the memory of Tyler. Leaving her here without a second thought.
I shouldn’t care.
I don’t care.
It’s not my problem if Tyler’s an idiot.
It’s not my business if some spoiled little princess has to walk home in the dark.
I’m not here to rescue anyone.
Especially not her.
Especially not someone like her.
She’s not my problem.
And I’ll make damn sure she never becomes one.

The Rejected Luna’s Rise
Luna Ariana Volkstane slid the formal rejection request across the table. "Let's end this bond. It's better for you, me, and your first love."
He just smirked. "You want me to reject you? You think you can break our bond that easily?"
So she did. Ariana cut ties with him completely, poured herself into her career, and rose to global fame as a legendary healer, her knowledge of rare herbs, wolf anatomy, and ancient magic sought after across continents.
The powerful suitors lined up. The Alpha of an overseas empire whispered, "Ariana, hurry up and perform the severing ritual. I can't wait to claim you." A powerful pack leader vowed, "I'll be there with you the day you break the bond." A legendary wolf attorney promised, "I'll handle your rejection case with the pack council myself."
Ariana just rubbed her temples. It's not that she didn't want the split, she wanted it more than anything, it's just that the Alpha she was mated to refused to let go.
Finally, she announced, "Whoever can officially get me rejected, I'll put you at the head table of my bond-breaking celebration."
Not long after, Alpha Damian was served the official rejection request right in the middle of an emergency pack council meeting. That same afternoon, he was attacked by rogues at the gates of his own territory.
When Ariana showed up at the pack infirmary with healing herbs, she repeated calmly, "Let's sever the mate bond. It's better for you, me, and everyone else."
But the cold, untouchable Alpha pulled her into his arms, his eyes blood-red with fury. "You want me to reject you? Over my dead body."

I feel the tip of him again at my entryway. He pushes in slightly, and my body comes to life again. My muscles react to his presence, contracting and loosening, as if my body is trying to suck him deep inside.

But when Alex vanishes without a word after a morning of gentle intimacy, Sarah is left with a hollow ache and a creeping doubt.
Their encounter was no accident. Behind Alex's blue eyes and skilled touch lies a darkness far deeper than she ever imagined—and the love that burned so bright may come with a price that could destroy her.

Now, we live under the same roof. Three people. One bed too close.
Every time my boyfriend touches me, I flinch. Every time his uncle looks at me, I burn.
He's dangerous. He's forbidden. He's everything I shouldn't want.
Is he saving me... or does he just want to own me?
Some fires don't just burn. They consume.

summoning a big, bad Alpha who knows exactly how to quench her fire.
When he claims her, it’s ecstasy and ruin.
For the first time, she believes she’s been accepted.
Seen.
Chosen.
Until he leaves her the next morning—
like a secret never to be spoken.

Because secrets never stay buried.
