Introduction
Chapter 1
Larisa's Pov
My presence is a larger-than-life entity that sucks the life out of every room I walk into. That's why I cage myself everyday in my bedroom, refusing to go out or even say a word. For 365 days, I stare at the pictures on the wall — The pictures of HER and wonder where it all went wrong.
Hazel was not like me. She was warm, friendly, the kind of person you'd want to open up to, talented, and very beautiful that suitors from different packs ask for her hand in marriage. And always, she'd tell them no. That she wasn't ready. It always infuriated me. I was never going to be like her. I didn't have any suitors lining up for me or a friendly face or have any talent of any kind. I was the lazy, chubby twin no one wanted to look at. Sometimes, I wish Hazel and I had shared the same face so my troubles will be lesser than they are. But some wishes never come true. And one of them was bringing her back to life.
Hazel is dead.
And it's all my fault.
“Get your ass out here! It's time!” April’s voice tore through the air as she banged her fist on my door.
I didn't flinch. Didn't need to.
I knew why she was here.
It was Hazel’s remembrance day.
I picked up my calendar and marked the 25th of July like I did last year and pushed back my seat.
“If you don't get your —”
April was cut off mid-sentence when I opened the door and walked past her.
I didn't need to say much. She knew the drill. I did too.
The guards waited for me at the top of the stairs and they did like they always did every year — latching the silver cuffs onto my wrists and dragging me down the stairs.
Yes, I was a fugitive in my own home. A guilty one.
Soon, I'd be dead anyways.
The air got sucked out of the room the second my foot touched the marble floor.
All eyes landed on me and I could read the emotions in them — anger. Nothing changed. No one cared enough to. They all harbored the same feeling they'd had for me since the incident. Even my father.
The double doors parted and Father Morris walked in.
The guests in the hallway rose to their feet at his arrival and followed behind him, leaving echoes of fake-sniffles and fake-tears.
I trailed behind, holding a look of indifference on my face.
It was the same ceremony all over again and I was so fucking tired.
We entered the Remembrance Hall, one built to honour the souls of our fallen and seated as Father Morris.
He began the admonition about Hazel being this, being that. The sound of sniffles increased in the room and I nearly rolled my eyes.
Oh, please, none of you even liked her.
Luna Bella, Ava’s mom, had been palming circles on her daughter's back before she turned to me. Her baby-blue eyes held mine in an icy glare. She muttered something to her mother and looked away.
The ceremony carried on with the sniffles and whimpers till it ended at noon.
“Come on. Let's go.” One of the guards tugged on my arm and I rose to my feet.
Before I could leave, a soft hand reached my shoulder giving it a hard squeeze.
“I have to talk to her.” The voice said.
I'd recognize it anywhere — Ava.
The guards exchanged looks before one of them replied. “She had to return to her room. It's for your own safety.”
For your own safety? Spare me the crap.
“There are over a dozen packs in this room. She wouldn't dare lay a finger on me.” Ava hissed.
“Okay,” The guard gave up. “But you have 5 minutes. Make it quick.”
The moment he walked away, a slap traveled across my face.
“You arrogant bitch! How could you not care that your sister has died?” Ava said in a voice trembling with both pain and rage.
My blonde curls bounced over my face and I whipped them back with a little tilt of my head.
“Say something!” She screamed at me.
Now, everyone was watching us, including my father. Even he and his guards had their hands to their hips. So, that's what it is now? They're scared I'd kill someone else again?
“Talk, you fucking bitch!” Ava slapped me again and I reacted.
It was supposed to be subtle. It wasn't the high pitched scream of a girl but far more deeper and with extreme rage. The scream turned into a loud growl. The mere echo of it shook the room, sending everyone to their knees.
"What is she doing?!" Father Morris yelled over the uproaring noise.
Ava clapped her hands over her ears, startled by what she was seeing. The screaming stopped and so did the shaking building.
I paused, breathing hard. I looked at everyone, their hands over their bleeding ears as they moaned in pain, paralyzed by the sound of the heavy scream.
When the echo died, they all stared, eyes round in shock.
As if on cue, the whispers erupted.
“Monster.”
“She's going to kill us the same way she killed her sister.”
“Someone should get her out of here!” Father roared.
Rough hands clasped my arm and pulled.
I couldn't fight. Couldn't even struggle. I let them pull me away, defeated.
The whispers still linger in the air, a constant reminder of the failure I am.
Maybe my father was right that night.
Maybe, I should've died and not Hazel.
The guards dragged me upstairs and threw me inside my room, bolting the door behind me.
“Stay gone, monster!” One of them roared as he pounded on the door.
I crumpled to the floor, wrapping my arms around myself, praying, crying that the pain would go away.
I lifted my eyes and they met hers. It was a photo of us when we were still little cubs. We wore identical green gowns with bows in
our hair. She was smiling but I was staring away from the camera.
Hazel, come back!
Tell them I didn't kill you!

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.
And he was never far behind.
Ex-Wife, Current Wife
For three years, she lived in the shadow of a loveless marriage. She was the woman everyone loved to hate, the one who supposedly "stole" him from his first love. She endured his cold indifference, raised their son—who struggles with a speech impediment—in silence, and traded her own brilliant career for the thankless role of a trophy wife.
But when his long-lost love returns, she is unceremoniously pushed aside to make room for the "real" family.
Enough was enough.
After he publicly humiliates her and chooses the mistress’s daughter over his own son during a birthday party, something inside her finally snaps. She doesn't just want out of the marriage; she wants her life back. With a secret talent for design and a newfound resolve, she walks away from the gilded cage of his estate.
But as she rises from the ashes of her failed marriage to reclaim her status as a top-tier designer, he realizes the woman he treated as a disposable pawn was the only one who truly held his world together.
Now, the woman who once begged for his attention is no longer looking back. Will he be able to earn her forgiveness, or is he finally too late?

Old wounds reopen, grief masquerades as rage, and love refuses to stay buried. As parenthood binds them together and the past demands accountability, Emily and Ryan must face the question neither of them is ready to answer: is broken trust the end of their story… or the beginning of a love forged through loss, forgiveness, and brutal honesty?
