Introduction
I spoke into the communication rune in my palm.
From the other end, the Moon Priest's voice spiked with warning. "Aria, do you have any idea what you're saying? The Forbidden Lands is an abyss of no return! It's ruled by the Lycans. You don't even have a wolf spirit—walking in there is a death sentence!"
"My decision is final."
After a long beat, his heavy, suppressed sigh echoed through. "Using a puppet substitute is an act of absolute blasphemy against the Moon Goddess... You've waited for Kaelen for so many years. Why walk away now?"
"Because a puppet will never betray a sacred vow."
Chapter 1
"Priest, I'm requesting to transfer my registry to the Forbidden Lands. And I need the materials to forge a Moonshadow Puppet. In three days, it will stand in my place at the mating altar."
I spoke into the communication rune in my palm.
From the other end, the Moon Priest's voice spiked with warning. "Aria, do you have any idea what you're saying? The Forbidden Lands is an abyss of no return! It's ruled by the Lycans. You don't even have a wolf spirit—walking in there is a death sentence!"
"My decision is final."
After a long beat, his heavy, suppressed sigh echoed through. "Using a puppet substitute is an act of absolute blasphemy against the Moon Goddess... You've waited for Kaelen for so many years. Why walk away now?"
"Because a puppet will never betray a sacred vow."
...
Cutting off the rune's connection, I glanced at the framed engagement photo hanging on the wall.
In it, Kaelen had his arms wrapped securely around my waist from behind, his eyes brimming with absolute devotion.
Yet, this very fiancé—the man who swore to protect me for the rest of my life—was currently upstairs in our master bedroom. With my half-sister.
For eighteen years, the entire pack had mocked me. I was the defective pureblood—born without a wolf spirit, forever deaf and blind to the pack's psychic network, the Mind-link.
But just moments ago, the invisible barrier sealing my bloodline shattered without warning.
[...Ah... Kaelen... not so rough...]
A woman's breathy moan sliced straight into my newly awakened neural cortex like a jagged blade.
[What? You don't like it? Who was just begging me for it in bed?]
The man's husky, arrogant chuckle—accompanied by the wet, rhythmic thud of flesh slapping against flesh—echoed flawlessly through my brain.
[Stop it... pause for a second,] the woman whined coquettishly. [Aria is just downstairs. What if she hears us...]
It was Selene. My half-sister.
We shared half our blood, yet our lives were worlds apart.
Selene had awakened a rare healing gift and was revered as the pack's "Saint." Meanwhile, anything I ever possessed—the moment Selene wanted it, our father would force me to hand it over to her.
Kaelen was the one thing I refused to yield. My absolute bottom line.
But now, even this last shred of hope had rotted to the core.
I didn't want garbage tainted by another woman's scent. They could have each other. I'd package up this hypocritical fiancé along with the Luna title and toss them both as charity.
It was time to sever all ties and break free altogether.
[What are you afraid of?] Kaelen let out a short, dismissive laugh. [She couldn't even awaken her wolf. She's completely deaf to the Mind-link.]
[The thought of you marking that useless trash makes me sick. Why does she get to be Luna?]
[Baby, those old fools in the council still don't respect me. Aria is the pureblood heir. Marking her is the only way I can secure the Alpha scepter.]
Extreme nausea churned violently in my stomach.
A few minutes later, Kaelen casually strolled downstairs. A faint flush of exertion still lingered on his handsome face.
He stepped up behind me, opening his arms to pull me into his embrace.
"That photo frame is too heavy for you. Why didn't you call me to do it?" His voice dripped with pampering scolding.
In that exact second, the undeniable stench of sex—mixed with Selene's sickeningly sweet vanilla perfume—hit my nostrils.
I took a half-step forward, smoothly dodging his touch without missing a beat.
His arms froze in mid-air. But he quickly masked his surprise, replacing it with a deeply affectionate smile. "The ceremony is just around the corner. Are you getting nervous? Don't worry, my love. Leave everything to me. I'll make sure the whole pack witnesses how much I love you."
If I hadn't just literally heard him plowing my sister upstairs, I might have actually cried tears of joy.
Just then, Selene sauntered down the stairs in a silk slip dress. The neckline plunged dangerously low, and right above her collarbone sat a fresh hickey she hadn't quite managed to cover with foundation.
"Sister." Selene beamed. "I was just upstairs testing the firmness of the mattress in your new master bedroom. You don't mind, do you?"
Kaelen immediately darkened his expression and shot her a stern glare. "Selene. Aria is my fated mate. The ceremony is in three days. Show some respect!"
What a stellar performance. What a fiercely protective fiancé.
Yet, the very second his righteous declaration ended, his voice slithered through the Mind-link.
[Be a good girl. I'm just putting on a show so she doesn't get suspicious. I'll meet you at the villa's back door tonight. Wear that sheer black slip.]
[Got it, my Alpha~] Selene purred back in his mind.
Out loud, he was the devoted, protective mate.
In the dark, they were shamelessly exploiting the Mind-link to orchestrate their next hookup.
"I need a moment in the restroom."
I walked past them.
The moment the door clicked shut behind me, isolating me from their sickening faces,
I slammed my hands onto the sink.
Bile clawed its way up my throat. I dry-heaved, my fingertips trembling violently against the edge of the counter.
Jerking the faucet open, I splashed freezing water over my face.
I slowly lifted my head, staring at the woman with bloodshot eyes in the mirror.
Years ago, during a pack hunt, the arrogant pups of the Alpha Council forced me into a mud pit.
They mocked my lack of a wolf, and it was Selene who led them to snatch away the only protective amulet my late mother had ever left me.
Right as a set of shifting claws was about to shred my throat, Kaelen threw himself in front of me. He took the brutal strike on my behalf, leaving his back torn open and bleeding.
"Aria, don't be afraid. As long as I have a breath in my lungs, I'll never let anyone hurt you."
For that single promise, I had endured years of my father's toxic favoritism and Selene's relentless theft of my life.
I believed that as long as I had Kaelen, I still had a safe haven.
Now I realized what that was. A cruel, sickening joke.
Suddenly, the rune in my pocket flared with searing heat.
[Transfer to the Forbidden Lands: Approved. In three days, a guide will be waiting for you in the Black Pine Woods.]
The three-day countdown had officially begun.

Rejected By My Family, Desired By The Mafia
While the real heiress struggled to survive, the nanny’s daughter, Talia, was raised in luxury as the beloved jewel of the Laurent family, pampered by Camille’s parents, adored by her three brothers, and even promised to the prestigious Matteo Devereux through a childhood engagement arranged by their grandparents.
Then the truth came out.
Six months ago, Camille was finally brought back to the Laurent family. To protect the family reputation and prove their devotion to their bloodline, the Laurent patriarch transferred 35% of his personal shares into Camille’s name overnight, instantly making her one of the wealthiest heiresses in the country.
It brought anxiety to all the Laurent family. But what they don’t know…is that Camille never needed them.
Behind her elegant smile lies a woman filled with secrets powerful enough to shake the whole family. She's a miraculous healer capable of curing the incurable poisons.
Yet despite everything, her family still chooses Talia.
Every accusation against Talia is forgiven. Every scheme against Camille is brushed aside. Even Matteo, the man who was supposed to be Camille’s fiancé—cannot let go of the woman he always believed belonged by his side.
But while the Laurent family underestimates Camille, another man begins to see exactly who she is.
Dante Moretti.
The ruthless heir of an old-money dynasty. A billionaire CEO worshipped by the public…and the merciless king of a criminal empire hidden beneath the city’s glittering surface.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.
He was wrong.
Six years ago, Pete Leadsilver had everything an Alpha could want. Power, a respected pack and a future already written for him.
Then he met me.
What began as a game became a mistake I would spend years trying to survive. When I told him I was carrying his child, Pete chose not to believe me. He rejected me, humiliated me, and allowed the people around him to make sure I understood that there was no place for me in his world.
So I disappeared.
I took the secret of my pregnancy with me and built a life far away from the Alpha who had broken me.
Six years later, Pete finds me again. Only this time, he isn't the man with all the power. His pack is dying, his people are running out of time, and I may be the only person capable of saving them.
But I'm no longer the woman Pete remembers. And beside me is a little boy who carries far too much of Pete's face to be a coincidence.
Our reunion should have been about a cure, but instead, it becomes the beginning of a war neither of us saw coming.
Because Pete's greatest danger isn't outside his pack.
It's inside his own family.
Old resentment turns into manipulation. Loyalty becomes betrayal. And the people Pete trusts begin hiding secrets that threaten to destroy everything he's built.
Then someone comes for the people I love.
Suddenly, this is no longer about whether Pete can earn my forgiveness.
It's about whether he can keep me alive.
Whether he can protect the son he never knew existed.
Whether he can uncover the truth before the people closest to him destroy everything he has finally learned to value.
Along the way, we'll lose people we thought would always stand beside us, I'll be forced to confront wounds I've spent six years trying to bury, and the family we're slowly building will be tested in ways neither of us could have imagined.
Because sometimes love isn't the hardest thing to find. Sometimes it's the hardest thing to survive.
Pete once believed power meant never needing anyone and I once believed surviving him meant leaving him behind.
We were both wrong.
Because some bonds refuse to die, some betrayals cut deeper than rejection and some people don't come back into your life to give you a second chance.
They come back to show you exactly what you almost lost.
Pete Leadsilver lost me once.
This time, he'll have to fight to keep the family he never knew he needed.

Letters to a Dark Prince
Thrown into Isteros Academy—a world of old money, blood money, and cruel social games—she's an outsider by birth and an afterthought by design. Her sister Solyn is the school's untouchable queen and Mara is her favorite target.
Everyone expects Atreus to treat his fiancée’s scholarship sister like everyone else does—as if she doesn’t matter.
Instead, his dorm room sits directly across from hers, close enough that she can see his light go out at night. Some nights, he climbs the old maintenance trellis just to check on her. He teaches her chess. He shows up exactly when something's gone wrong—and never once asks to be thanked for it.
"Don't fall in love with one piece," he warns her, over a board neither of them treats like a game anymore. "It punishes the person who only sees half of it."
Mara doesn't understand why the boy who's supposed to make her life harder keeps quietly making it easier—not until she realizes the anonymous stranger she's been writing to every week already has a name.
His.
He doesn't know he's writing to her, either.
By the time they find out, it's too late to stop what's already happening. Far too dangerous for anyone to find out.
In an empty studio, in the middle of a rainstorm, she asks him: 'Am I the kind of girl who kisses a boy engaged to my sister?'
He doesn't answer.
So she asks: 'What are we?’
He told her not to fall in love with one piece.
She fell anyway.
