Ivy was once the most gifted Moon Priestess candidate in the werewolf world and the destined mate of Kane, the future Alpha heir. But to help his true love Selena take her place, Kane betrayed Ivy and locked her inside a mad wolf’s dungeon for seven days of torture. When Ivy finally escaped, she expected her family and her mate to regret what they had done. Instead, she was met with even more betrayal. Selena stole her title, her sacred dress, and even the man she loved. With her heart completely broken, Ivy decided to leave everything behind. But in her darkest moment, she accepted a Moon Goddess contract with Leon, the mysterious and powerful Lord of the North. What no one knew was that Leon was the little wolf Ivy saved years ago. Now, he returns as the strongest Alpha, ready to protect his Luna and make everyone who betrayed her pay the price.

After being reborn, I decided to write my sister's name on the marriage application. This time, I would help Sebastian Holt achieve his wishes. In this lifetime, I took the lead—I let my sister wear the wedding dress first and put the engagement ring on her finger. I personally orchestrated every encounter between Sebastian and my sister. When he took her to the capital city, I headed to Southport University without a second thought. In my previous life, even when I was over 50 years old, he and our son still knelt before me, begging for a divorce. This time, I would fulfill his final romantic destiny with my sister. Living this second life, all I wanted was to spread my wings and soar high, free from love's entanglements.

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.

Before turning 25, the pack elders use the mind-link 99 times to forcibly summon me. I have to bond with a mate before my 25th birthday or face an arranged marriage to serve the pack. When I tell Jacob Fulton, our patrol captain, he just scoffs. "I've never heard of any pack having a rule like that. Wendy, you don't need such a pathetic tactic to test me. I was going to mark you, but seeing how desperate you are, I've changed my mind." He tosses the protection necklace I hand-crafted for him to his childhood friend, Yelena Shaw, and walks off without a second glance. Yelena blushes as she offers the necklace back to me. A triumphant glint flashes in her eyes. I step back, refusing it with a soft voice. "You can keep my trash." Ignoring her sudden paleness, I turn and walk away. I don't want the necklace anymore, and I don't want Jacob, either. What Jacob doesn't know is that I'm the sole heir to the Darkmoon pack. Once I turn 25, I must return to fulfill my duty—to take my place as Alpha Female and bond with a mate. Only this time, Jacob won't be the one I choose.

As purebred humans, my sister Lily and I arrived on the Beastman Continent with the Breeding System, meant to help the beastmen breed and secure their future.. The system offered two talent trees for us to choose from. Lily hated the idea of pregnancy, so she jumped first and picked the low-tier talent: Surrogacy. I got stuck with the high-tier one: Litter of Many. We ended up mated to the wolf alpha and the tiger alpha, respectively. Lily had a wandering heart and secretly slept around with all kinds of beastmen behind closed doors. But she was terrified that getting pregnant would expose her affairs, so she kept using her Surrogacy talent on me. Over and over again, I was forced to birth litter after litter of low-grade beast pups. The whole continent was buzzing with rumors about me—that I'd spread my legs for anyone. My so-called mate, the wolf alpha Tyron wouldn't listen to a word I said. He called me cheap, a slut, a whore. Every time I gave birth, he'd kill the pups. In the end, I was tortured to death. When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the system was activated.

Aleya Rowan is forced to sign a secret blood pact with August: in exchange for bearing three pureblood heirs, she will earn her freedom. She accepts the bargain both to protect Silas, the fiancé she truly loves, and to repay the Drake family for years of protection. Over the next five years, she gives Cassian Drake two sons and a daughter. Everyone—including Cassian himself—believes Aleya is deeply in love with him. In truth, she has only been waiting for the day the contract ends. Just as their third child is about to complete the final dragon-blood certification required by the pact, Aleya discovers that she is pregnant again. At the same time, Cassian begins making plans to keep her in the Drake family permanently. Terrified of losing her position as mistress of the household, Seraphina drugs Aleya, sets her up with a man from another clan, and forges an order for one hundred strokes bearing Cassian’s dragon seal. Aleya is dragged into the Ancient Dragon Sanctuary to be punished. Before this, Cassian has already hurt her at the Frost Dragon Pool after acting on a misunderstanding. The drugs, freezing water, violence, and brutal punishment ultimately cause Aleya to lose her fourth child and leave her on the verge of death. August finally fulfills the promise he made five years earlier and secretly sends Aleya to Elvia in the North. Only after Aleya completely disappears does Cassian begin uncovering the truth piece by piece: Seraphina framed her, Aleya had been carrying a fourth child, and even Seraphina’s supposed act of saving his life five years ago had been a lie. Consumed by regret, Cassian begins searching for Aleya everywhere. Later, Cassian is gravely injured during a family war and is sent to Elvia, where he unexpectedly reunites with Aleya, who has already begun rebuilding her life. There, he finally learns the truth from her: their three children were never proof of her love for him. They were the price she paid for her freedom. Cassian eventually stops
