"Rayne stood looking at her reflection in the mirror. Her a pale green ballgown clung to her curves and left little to the imagination. Her jet-black curls are swept up and pinned to her head, leaving her neck exposed. Tonight was the night that most of the unmated wolves in all the North American packs would hopefully find their mates. She was sure all of them were just oozing with excitement.

She was not.

She didn’t want a mate. She didn’t need a mate...."

“...but the sudden scent of jasmine and vanilla hit her nose from somewhere close. That meant only one thing. Her mate was near..."


Rayne met her mate at the Moonlight Ball when she was eighteen, her mate that she never wanted to find, that she never wanted in her life. He showed up out of nowhere. His actions that night unknowingly set her free. She took the freedom he gave her, ran away, and never once looked back.

Now five years later he shows back up in her life after rejecting her five years ago, demanding that she take up her rightful place by his side. He walked away from her after calling her weak.

Her body and soul beg for him to claim her, yet her heart belongs to another.

Can her mate convince her to give him a chance? Will her lover convince her to stay with him? The Moon Goddess paired her with someone not of her choice, all Rayne has ever wanted was the chance to choose for herself. Who will win? Rayne or the fate that the moon set for her?

"What the hell are you two doing?"
My voice tore through the crowd—only to be met with the words that destroyed my world.
"It was a drunken mistake, Ava. Don't read into it—it was just a meaningless fling."
"Who'd want a lowlife orphan like you as Luna?"
"As for Ava, she's stripped of her rank and banished from the Oakwood Pack."
With those sentences, Liam—my first love, the man I believed was my mate—cast me aside before the entire pack. And just like that, I became no one.
Exiled and shattered, I fled into the human world, where a kind doctor, David, found me unconscious on the roadside. Three weeks later, I woke to a truth that changed everything: I was pregnant. With triplets.
Five years pass. I've rebuilt myself into one of the human world's rising physicians. I'm engaged to David. My children—Jace, Niko, and their sister Rhea—are my life. I've buried the past where it belongs.
Or so I thought.
When Liam's warriors abduct me outside a hospital parking lot, the nightmare begins again. A mysterious plague is ravaging the Oakwood Pack, and his father, former Alpha Zane, is dying. Desperate, Liam demands my help—while his new "chief witch," Lucy, tightens her grip on the pack through deceit, prophecy, and a seductive hold on him.
But secrets never stay buried.
When Liam discovers that one of the children he glimpsed has his eyes, everything spirals. Loyalties fracture. Old wounds tear open. And I'm forced into a deadly game—cure the plague, protect my children, expose Lucy, and finally confront the man who broke me.
Because this time, I'm not the powerless orphan they threw away.
This time, I'm coming back as something far more dangerous.

What she never expected was her ex-husband's desperate attempt to win her back.

What we think to be revenge sometimes, is just something which kills us deep and we can only see properly when we let go of our emotions

Only to find out that, the whole context isn't what she thought it had been and she is left with a soft spot in her after meeting her mate

Thunder ripped me back from the edge of death—back to my 18-year-old bedroom, March 15, 2022 staring at me from the calendar. Seven days before Blake left me bleeding in the rain, before that drunk bastard finished what heartbreak started.

"Did you honestly think someone like me could love someone as pathetic as you?"

His words still burned as I grabbed the scissors and hacked off my hair. The chest binder squeezed tight as I pulled on an oversized shirt. The stranger in the mirror—this "River"—looked nothing like the girl who'd died for love. Good.

My sob story about being an orphan got me into the Ashworth mansion easily enough. But when I came face to face with Blake's perfect fake smile, Quinn was watching from across the room, her face white as a sheet.

Did she know?

This whole revenge plan was already going sideways, and I'd barely started. But I was done being the victim. Time to find out what really happened—and make them all pay.

Everyone was waiting for me to die.
My ex-husband was busy preparing for his engagement, my childhood sweetheart had disappeared without a trace and the so-called friends around me avoided me like the plague.
The doctor gave me a verdict: three to six months to live.
They thought I would slip away quietly, without making a sound.
But what they didn’t know was—I crawled back from the edge of death for one purpose: to destroy them.
Bankruptcy? Betrayal? Conspiracy?
I will make them pay for every single one.

Five years ago, I walked away pregnant and heartbroken.
He chose someone else.
He let me go without looking back.

Now I’ve returned—with a son who carries his blood
and a strength I never knew I had.

He kneels, begging for forgiveness.

My name is Aurora McNamara, federal fire investigator.

For seven years, I've endured the same three words from my husband every single day: "Get out, murderer."

Yes, my husband Phoenix—the fire captain who once whispered "I love you" in my ear—now looks at me with pure hatred every day, as if I'm the monster who killed his teammates.

But I didn't set those fires.

I was framed.

What's more twisted? The real killer sits on our couch every evening, gently providing "psychological therapy" to my husband, telling him he should "forgive his wife's mistakes."

That, Phoenix made his choice—in the raging inferno, he chose to save her instead of me.

Then I return to three months ago, before everything fell apart completely....

My husband and I've been married for three years, and he's been messing around with her the entire time.

Hugging and kissing her on set, whispering flirty lines in interviews.

Everyone online calls me a pathetic stand-in.

I never get mad. I just smile and help him smooth over every rumor.

That is, until I accidentally got pregnant and secretly had an abortion.

He was furious, his heart shattered, demanding to know why.

I cupped his face and said calmly: "Because I don't love you."

The one I truly love is his dead brother.
