Desperation is a quiet, creeping sickness, one that makes a person blind to the edge of a cliff until they are already falling. Alice was no exception. She had a devoted husband and a peaceful life, yet she remained hollow, obsessed with finding a way to bear a child. Her husband pleaded with her to stop, but she stubbornly chased every dead end until she finally had no choice but to give up. Then, a mysterious woman arrived, breathing life back into her fading hopes. Alice followed her deep into the Forbidden Forest. Almost instantly, the bright sky withered into a suffocating darkness. Every instinct warned her of danger, but she was already too far deep to turn back. "Say something, Alice!" Thomas roared, his voice cracking with a manic mixture of rage and pure panic as he slammed his fists onto the wooden dining table. The porcelain teacups rattled against their saucers. "Say something! You saw what happened out there! You saw what that... that thing did to the dog! It didn't even touch the beast, and it dropped dead, frozen from the inside out!" "Shut up, Thomas! Just shut your mouth!" Alice screamed, spinning around to face him. Her face was flushed, tears spilling over her eyelids, but her expression was fierce, contorted by a desperate, defensive fury. "He defended us! The dog was rabid! It was going to attack your son, and Edwin protected himself! Why are you attacking him for trying to survive?!" "That is not our son!" Thomas yelled back, his chest heaving as he stepped around the table, closing the distance between them. He pointed a trembling, white-knuckled finger toward the boy in the corner. "Look at him, Alice! For the love of God, look at his face! Look at his eyes! When have you ever seen a living child look at the world like that? He doesn't breathe! He doesn't blink! The very grass beneath his feet turns to ash, and you are still standing there making excuses!" "Because he is my son!" Alice shrieked, her voice reaching a pitch of sheer hysteria that echoed off the low ceiling. She stepped in front of Edwin, throwing her arms out to shield the boy’s unmoving figure with her own body. "He is my boy, Thomas! He is the child I carried for nine months, the child I watched die in that bed while you did absolutely nothing to save him!" The words struck Thomas like a physical blow. He staggered back a half-step, the color instantly draining from his face. "Alice..." he whispered, his voice cracking with profound betrayal. "You think I wanted him to die? I loved him just as much as you did. I am mourning him right now!"

To everyone at university, Jason was the untouchable bad boy. Cold. Lethal. Effortlessly dominant. To me, he was just the guy who looked right through me like I was made of air. I thought he just hated me. I had no idea why. I didn’t know my protective father was secretly the world’s most feared werewolf hunter—or that he brutally slaughtered the woman Jason once loved. Then came the full moon. The woods. The bloody bite that changed my genetics forever. Now, I’m no longer human. I’m a half-breed wolf, dragged into the lair of the icy Alpha who despises my bloodline. But the primal mate-bond doesn't care about blood feuds. The second his eyes lock onto mine, his hatred turns into a terrifying, possessive obsession. I’m his captive. His submissive. His ultimate temptation. My father is sharpening silver weapons to exterminate Jason's pack, unaware that I am inside the compound. My Alpha is demanding my total surrender. And to survive the war brewing between them, the shy college girl I used to be has to die... so the Luna can rise.

As the ruthless CEO of RP Holdings, he rules his empire with silence, cold precision, and absolute control. After cutting off his obsessive ex for good, he demands total solitude. Instead, he gets Elena Morgan. Blonde, bold, and infuriatingly calm, the new housekeeper refuses to bow to his command. But Elena isn’t just domestic staff—she’s a fallen heiress operating under a false identity, stripped of her fortune, and running out of time. She has nothing left to lose, and she certainly won't yield to another powerful man. Leonardo is used to people bending to his will. Elena might be the first person to break it. What begins as a clash of authority quickly spirals into a dangerous obsession. But in a penthouse built on secrets, falling for the enemy is the ultimate gamble—and the truth might destroy them both.
