Introduction

Monica, an introverted and beautiful high school student, discovers that she was adopted after her parents passed away in a car accident. Three years later, she meets her biological family, which includes her managing director brother, Gavin Moore. However, Monica finds it hard to accept her new family all at once. Moreover, she is surprised to learn that she has four brothers. Gavin tries to ease her discomfort by giving her a gift, but the school's principal keeps flattering the family, which causes Gavin to offer funds for the school's construction to stop the principal's insincere behavior. Monica accepts the gift and meets her brother's Rolls Royce, which overshadows even the daughter of a member of the school board of directors. Monica is left wondering what life with four brothers will be like.

Chapter 1

It was a rainy day in September. A small town located in the mountains was shrouded in a gentle drizzle. The stone paths were washed clean by the rain, and the air was fresh with the smell of dirt.

In the only high school in the center of town, an eighteen-year-old girl was on her way to the principal's office.

The girl was dressed simply, however, her face was so comely and beautiful that one could ignore her dress. She had natural elegance and poise, which made her look charming but cold and distant.

'Principal, Monica is here." Monica's class tutor guided her way.

The tutor's attitude surprised Monica. She even had to consider the family background of students for the selection of student leaders. Why would she suddenly be so enthusiastic to herself?

"Please let her in!" The principal was also excited, and his voice was even trembling as he spoke.

Monica walked into the principal's office in confusion, and when she saw the person in the office, Monica understood and smiled.

It was because of him.

In the principal's office, a tall man sat on a delicate and expensive sofa. His bearing was out of the ordinary and looked like an elite of the upper class. If looking carefully, it could be found that the man's features are somewhat similar to Monica's.

Monica sized up the man while the man was sizing her up as well.

The man had planned to take Monica to the hospital for a DNA test later, but now it seems that this was unnecessary.

Because Monica and her mother look almost the same. They both have beautiful features and fair and delicate skin. Even in ordinary clothes, they were still very conspicuous.

The most striking part about Monica was her eyes.

Monica was only about 17 years old, but her eyes were cold, deep, and shrewd, just like the mysterious deep sea.

Noticing that the man kept staring at her, Monica asked with a frown, "Who are you?"

Monica knew she was not related by blood to the grandmother who raised her, and it had occurred to her that her relatives might be finding her one day.

But wasn't it usually the parents who would look for their children? This man was too young to be her parents.

The man's deep eyes flashed with indistinct helplessness. He said, "I am your brother."

At this point, the principal couldn't resist saying, "Monica, how come you never mentioned that your brother is the managing director of Imperial Capital Co. Ltd.?"

Monica rolled her eyes secretly and thought, she also just know this matter.

It was only when Monica's parents died in a car accident three years ago that her grandmother told her the truth - Monica was an adopted child. She finally understood why her previous parents had been so cold to her. When Monica was young, her adopted parents just fostered her in the grandmother's home in the countryside and did not care about her at all.

After her adoptive parents passed away, her grandmother went to the Police office to submit Monica's information form, hoping to find her relatives. Now Monica was reunited with her family, and surprisingly, her family is the managing director of the famous Imperial Capital Co. Ltd.

"Are you my brother?" Monica could hardly believe that such an absurd thing could happen to her.

"Yes, you have four brothers beside me." Gavin Moore, Monica's brother said gently.

"Four?" Monica frowned as the reality was far from the family she thought. It was hard for her to imagine what life would be like with four brothers.

Would it be noisy?

Finding that Monica was distracted, Grandmother said to Gavin politely, "Monica is introverted and may have difficulty in accepting these in a short time, please don't mind."

"Of course, I don't mind." Gavin smiled politely and stood up, then took out a box from his bag, "Nice to meet you, Monica. Here's a gift for you. Hope you will like it"

Seeing this, the principal said to Monica flatteringly, "Monica, please take the gift. You are so close to your brother. Hope you will not forget your former teachers and classmates after you transfer to another school."

Gavin showed a disapproving look when he heard what the principal said. He glanced at the principal, and said indifferently, "Don't worry, my sister has been educated in your school for so many years, I will provide funds for the construction of the school."

He, Gavin, never owes anyone a favor.

The principal's eyes brightened when he heard this, "That's great! I'm very grateful to you."

Finally, Monica did not refuse her brother and accepted the gift.

The principal flattered them for a while before sending them out of the school with the tutor.

A Rolls Royce was parked in front of the school gate and it is also surrounded by many other luxury cars. Such a scene had already attracted the attention of a lot of people.

Vicky had just gotten off the car when she heard her friend's voice, "Vicky, here you are!"

Vicky glanced at her carelessly, because her attention was on the Rolls Royce, "Whose car is that?"

She was the daughter of a member of the school board of directors. Usually, she was in the limelight in school, but today this car overshadowed her.

"I heard that the managing director of the Imperial Capital Co. Ltd. came to our school."

"Imperial Capital Co. Ltd.?" It was the top enterprise in the imperial capital, and even her father was not qualified to work with them. "What are they doing here? Want to invest in this stupid school?"

"No, I heard that the managing director was here to pick up his sister."

"Pick up his sister?" Vicky was stunned, "Are you serious? How can a rich girl study in our school?"

As they spoke, Monica and a tall man, surrounded by the principal and a group of senior faculties, walked out of the school.

"Vicky, that tall man is that managing director!" The friend said excitedly.

Vicky was completely frozen when she looked back. If that man was the general manager of Imperial Capital Co. Ltd., then the person beside him should be his sister.

But she is Monica, the bumpkin she hates and despises most!

Vicky was so shocked that she turned pale. She never thought Monica had such a family background!

After college, Lucas pursued me relentlessly.

He was the CEO of the Blackwood Group — a man whose wealth and power eclipsed ninety-nine percent of the world.

He was gentle. Romantic. Attentive. I fell for him fast.

But a year into our marriage, I began to notice something — a pattern.

Lucas's sexual appetite was intense — he wanted me almost every night. Yet every single month, he arranged a solo trip to send me away. I told myself it was his way of spoiling me.

Then a message arrived from someone called Sweet An.

Do you really know your husband?

From that day on, my life filled with shadows.

I suspected my husband of having an affair.

When Lucas and I made love, something felt wrong — his body too large, too much, like something I couldn't explain.

I heard sounds during sex — animal sounds, like something feral had crawled into bed with us.

My best friend Mia said: "There are men sick enough to let dogs fuck their wives."

The family doctor, Daisy, told me: "You could never stay by Lucas's side forever. Your background doesn't make you worthy of being his wife. Do you understand?"

I went looking for whoever had been tearing my marriage apart. I fought to win my husband back.

But the deeper I searched, the larger the secret grew — something far darker hiding beneath this supposed betrayal.

Does Lucas truly love me?

And why, out of everyone in the world, did he choose to marry me?

Mara Kim has never belonged anywhere… until someone decided she did.
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.

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.

I should've taken the damn bus.

But no, I had to walk through the park at midnight like an idiot. Now I've seen something I can't unsee—a massive black wolf tearing apart three men, then shifting into the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.

Kieran Vaughn. Wealthy lawyer, werewolf, and apparently, he thinks I'm his mate.

Here's the problem: I don't do relationships. I definitely don't do supernatural things. I absolutely don't do rich guys who think they can control my life just because their inner wolf has decided I smell like home.

When hunters start targeting me to get to him, Kieran drags me into his pristine penthouse for "protection." Now I'm living with a man who looks at me like I'm his last meal, whose touch sets my skin on fire, and who's barely holding onto his control.

He says everyone he loves dies. I say that's not my problem except it is because I'm falling for this broken, dangerous man and his beast.

And in his world? Love will get you killed.
GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

GO ON YOUR KNEES, ALPHA.

He thought the worst thing he had ever done was losing me.

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.
