"Elena, a top bomb disposal expert, returns to Sterling Harbor after an overseas mission — only to face an impossible choice on her first day home. Her son Oliver and Blair, her husband Grant's foster sister, are both strapped with timed explosives. She wants to save her child first, but Grant forces her to defuse Blair's bomb by threatening her mother Diane's dignity and safety. Oliver dies in the explosion. Elena then hears Grant confess that their marriage was never real — she was only a shield to protect Blair. She files for divorce and begins uncovering the truth, but is met with one devastating blow after another: forced to take the blame for her son's death, her mother driven to death by a secretly filmed video, her loved ones' ashes desecrated, her color vision damaged in a fireworks explosion, and her mother's ashes turned into a memorial diamond as a final humiliation. After losing everything, Elena sees Grant and Blair for who they truly are — and begins preparing to leave Sterling Harbor and make those who hurt her pay."

Caught in an unexpected public humiliation, Cindy runs into Haydon, the first love she hasn't seen in five years.

The Mary family was framed and destroyed. Consumed by deep-seated hatred, Mary infiltrated the palace, biding her time to take revenge on Kane, the son of her enemy. However, the man who appeared before her was not the true crown prince, but Marcus, a stand-in who looked exactly like Kane. Bearing old wounds, Marcus still retained the gentleness and inner conflict of his youth. While concealing his identity and living in the shadow of the throne, he found himself drawn to Mary's coldness and pain. The two circled each other through schemes, lies, and true love, only to gradually discover that the wrongful case against Mary's family was far more complicated than they had imagined. When Kane returns and court conspiracies tighten layer by layer, Mary must choose between revenge and love, and every step closer brings them nearer to the ruinous fate beneath the thorny crown.

Before my boyfriend, August Cadwell, marked me, we went to register our mate bond at the Pack Affairs Department. Without a word of explanation, he unexpectedly had someone throw me out of the office. Then he walked in with his childhood sweetheart. He didn’t even blink when he saw me sitting there on the ground, shaking with disbelief. "Hailey's pup needs to be part of the Aurelis pack. The best and quickest method is for her to register a mate bond with a werewolf from the Aurelis pack. As soon as we sever the mate bond, I'll form a mate bond with you." Everyone assumed the lovesick version of me would wait just one more month for him. After all, I'd already waited seven long years. But that night, I did something unexpected too. I accepted my parents' arranged mate bond and quietly left for the Lymerian pack, disappearing from his life entirely. Three years later, I returned to my original pack to visit my family. My mate, Ryder Weyland, was now the lycan chairman. Because of an urgent council meeting, he arranged for someone to collect me from the airport. I never imagined that “someone” would be August. The moment he spotted me, his eyes immediately landed on the sparkling bracelet on my wrist. "Isn't this a knockoff of the bracelet Ryder Weyland, the lycan chairman, spent two million dollars on for his mate? Didn't expect you to turn this vain after just a few years. "You've caused enough chaos, haven't you? It's time to return. Hailey's pup is now of school age. You can take on the responsibility of pick-ups and drop-offs." I gently ran my fingers over the bracelet on my wrist. Little did he know that this was the cheapest one Ryder had ever given me.
