On my 10th wedding anniversary, my former best friend posted a photo of her daughter, my son, her and my husband, with the caption "The perfect pair." I replied "Perfect indeed." The next day, my husband and son blamed me for upsetting her. I threw the divorce papers at them: "If it’s all my fault, I quit your perfect family of four."

Valeria Moretti lived the fairy tale the world envied. Luca Moretti, the golden heir of the most ruthless mafia family, abandoned blood and power for a girl from the slums. He called her his salvation. He made the press believe in forever. But forever had a second address. While Valeria believed in the man who trembled at her bedside, Luca was building a secret life with his childhood sweetheart Bianca Rizzo — complete with twin boys who already called him Daddy. The night Valeria discovered the truth, she didn’t scream. She calculated. Three days later a luxury cruise ship vanished in a staged tsunami. The world declared Valeria dead. Luca’s empire burned. He tore through cities, bribed governments, and buried men alive searching for a body that did not exist. Seven months later he finds her — pregnant with his child, building a quiet new life under another name, and colder than the sea that supposedly took her.

I was born a liar. That was the label my mother gave me. In the Dark Moon Pack, every pup carries a Lunar Mark on their wrist. Green means truth. Red means liar. My twin sister Maya slashed Mommy's ceremonial dress with a blade and blamed the pack hounds. Her wrist stayed soft and green. My mark went crimson when I said I was cold. "Mommy, I'm telling the truth. Please believe me." Elena would crouch down, look me in the eye, and say the same thing every time. "The Goddess's mark is absolute, Selena. Your own heart betrays you." She never touched me. She just looked at my wrist with disgust. No matter how honest I tried to be, my heart would race when I was scared. And every time my pulse spiked, the mark turned red. I lied when I said I was hungry. I lied when I said I loved her. I lied when I cried. After enough years, I stopped fighting back. I started to believe her. Maybe I really was broken. Maybe I was just born wrong. The night I died, I wrote one last line in my Penance Journal. "Mommy, help me. It hurts. Please — just believe me once." She never saw it. She had already locked the door and walked away. I'm sorry, Mommy. I died still trying to get it right. In my next life — will you hold me?

Years ago, Serena's father Victor stole Nathaniel's father's drug formula, killed him, and built his empire. Nathaniel faked deep affection to get close, plotting his revenge.
