The day I found out I was pregnant with twins, I saw my mate, Alpha Viggo, bringing another she-wolf to her prenatal check-up. I froze on the spot, the pregnancy report crumpling in my fist. That night, he looked at me with ice in his eyes. The same man who once kissed every inch of my body. The same man who swore he was mine and mine alone. “She’s carrying my pup. Her wolf is unstable. You will brew her calming tonics. Every single day.” “She's sensitive. She can't sleep without my scent. So move your things to the west wing. Make room for her.” The huge villa fell deathly silent. My wolf howled—a sharp, wounded cry. Pain from our mate bond ripped through my soul. But I didn't shed a single tear. I just calmly grabbed the suitcase I’d already packed and walked toward the door. The guards tried to stop me, but Viggo didn’t even glance up. “She’ll be back,” he said, swirling the wine in his glass, his Alpha arrogance on full display. “Three days. That’s all she’ll last. Her wolf will drive her mad without my touch. She’ll come crawling back, begging.” The pack members and allies who had come for our ceremony erupted in laughter. A few of them even made a bet right in front of me, wagering a million-dollar aurora ore mine. They bet I’d be torn apart by the fear of going rogue and be on my knees by midnight, begging Viggo to let me back in. But they had no idea. My birth father had already secretly sent our family token. My pack was already waiting. This time, I would shatter our bond for good.

Zoe Shaw is a lowly intern desperate to raise enough money for her grandmother's surgery, while Chase Lloyd is a powerful billionaire whose unusual condition makes him unable to tolerate physical contact with women. Two people from completely different worlds collide after a drunken mix-up, only for Chase to discover that Zoe is the one woman his body accepts. A month later, a positive pregnancy test ties their fates together for good. From that moment on, he shields her from every grievance, indulges her with increasingly outrageous favoritism, and even offers her a marriage certificate. Zoe assumes Chase is only doing it for the sake of the Lloyd family's reputation and an heir. But she couldn't be more wrong. Because the one thing Chase wants more than an heir is the woman carrying his child.

After losing his eldest son Ethan, Kane Morgan, founder of Vertex Capital, became utterly disillusioned, retreated from the spotlight, and began driving for a ride-hailing service to quietly watch over his younger son Liam. During a carjacking on a rainy night, his former subordinate Victor appeared, revealing that Kane still commanded a vast, hidden power. Liam threw a welcome party for his beloved Aurora, only to be humiliated by Damian and his gang. He also stumbled upon his late brother’s fiancée Vanessa having an affair with Damian. Shortly after, Liam was kidnapped and taken to a warehouse, where he learned his brother’s death was noaccident — he had been deliberately tortured and murdered by Damian. Damian then set up a cruel gambling game to torment Liam and imprisoned Aurora. At the critical moment, Kane smashed through the door and overpowered everyone with his formidable strength. Victor arrived and bowed in submission, and only then did Damian realize the taxi driver was a top-tier capital magnate. Kane declared his revenge, returned to Vertex Capital, and used his wealth and connections to launch an all-out assault on the O’Hara family’s business empire. Victor severely punished his own son Taylor, while Vanessa’s repentance proved futile. After enduring these trials, Liam reconciled with his father, and together they managed the conglomerate. He and Aurora fell deeply in love, and the O’Hara Group ultimately collapsed completely.

Aaron hopes his father won't attend the wedding, yet Samuel insists on being there, determined to support him no matter what.

To defuse the bomb strapped to the hostage, I had no choice—I cut off all her clothes. My clueless new wife, Dana Poole, blasted it online. She cried as she faced me. "Why not at least leave her underwear on? You were saving her, I get it—but did you have to take everything? Doesn't a girl's dignity matter? With cameras everywhere, how is she supposed to live after this? You couldn't even cover her up?" The backlash exploded. The unit benched me to calm things down. So I stopped caring. I followed procedure, no improvising, no extra effort. Then one day, at the busiest mall in the city, Dana's mom got strapped into a brand-new linked bomb. This time, the whole unit panicked.

"The new intern angrily called me out in front of the entire executive team at the quarterly meeting.“Please look at the hard evidence. For the past three months, Caroline has been absent from the office for over twenty hours a week.""""And here is a record of her squandering company funds.We need to let her go right now and save the company's cash flow."" She had no idea that my ""absences"" were spent leveraging my family's three-generation network to woo billionaire investors for this tiny company. Behind those outrageously expensive bills were partnership agreements worth tens of millions of dollars and the hospital bills from countless nights of drinking with clients until my stomach gave out. Claude,the CEO of this company, was my Ivy League classmate. He knew the truth. However, he just stared at me coldly.""Caroline, what's your explanation for the absences and expenses Lia has presented?"""

For three years, I’d used my family’s connections to bring the company hundreds of millions in revenue. But at the quarterly meeting, the new intern stood before everyone, displaying my attendance and expense reports, and accused me of “unexcused absences” and “squandering company funds.” “These high-end clubs, these restaurants…” she declared, her voice ringing with self-righteousness. “She spends thousands of dollars every time! These are completely unnecessary expenses.” “I strongly advise the CEO to fire her immediately and save the company’s cash flow.” I glanced at Claude, the CEO. My old classmate. He knew exactly how much revenue each of those meetings generated. He also knew that when I wasn't in the office, I was at some bar, negotiating with investors, sometimes drinking until my stomach turned. But he just stared at me coldly. “Caroline, what’s your explanation for the absences and expenses Lia has presented?” I smiled. “I have nothing to explain.” They would all learn, very soon, the consequences of this little stunt.

My younger sister, Lydia Miller, and I are unexpectedly reborn into a beastman tribe, where the Beast God gives us a choice of identity. The first option is to become a beast woman with tremendous strength and a tall, imposing physique. The second option is to become a saintess with the ability to reproduce across species and an alluring, graceful figure. In our previous life, Lydia became a beast woman to survive, while I became the frail saintess. She ended up scorned by the tribe's beastmen for not being feminine enough. Meanwhile, I captured the hearts of the three strongest and most handsome beastmen in the tribe with my delicate frame. I became their most cherished beloved. Eventually, they rose to rule the primeval forest, and I basked in endless glory as their saintess. Driven mad with jealousy, Lydia pushed me into a poison swamp when no one was looking. With my last bit of strength, I plunged a poisonous thorn into her body, and we died together. When I open my eyes again, we're back at the moment when the Beast God asks us to make our choice. This time, Lydia rushes to claim the saintess identity first. "Ella, this time I'll be the saintess. Since I pity you so much, I'll let you have those three defective, impotent beastmen." I bite back the wild joy flooding through me. What's so great about serving as a breeding tool anyway? In a primitive society, strength is everything.
