Right before our Mating Ceremony, my mate, Alpha Damien, told me he had to temporarily mark an Omega from our pack, Seraphina. He claimed she had the Moon Sickness and would die if he didn't mark her. I fought him on it, but the next day, he moved Seraphina right into the penthouse of the Pack House. The suite meant for the future Luna. My suite. To calm me, he even got on his knees, his eyes red as he promised, "Once she's safe, I'll remove the mark. You'll still be my only Luna." But then, Seraphina found me, a medical report in her hand. Six weeks pregnant. They'd already held their marking ceremony long before Damien ever came to me. My heart shattered into ash. My pen dug into the calendar, carving a vicious X over the date that was supposed to be our Mating Ceremony. Then, I opened my laptop and replied to the email from the European Laurel Healers' Guild. "I accept your invitation. I leave on the day of the Mating Ceremony."

Six months ago, I was accidentally poisoned by wolfsbane. The poison is deadly, and my days are numbered. My body gradually weakens. Today, my wolf is completely gone, and I have three days left to live. On the last day before I draw my final breath, I agree to donate my kidney to my sister. Thrilled, my mate swears that he'll make it up to me someday. My sister is being swamped with insults on the college forum after she was caught plagiarizing my Belladonna thesis. But I come forward and claim that I'm the one who plagiarized it. Mom and Dad are pleased, saying I've finally become mature. At last, I've become the perfect mate and daughter in their eyes. But why are they crying after my body has turned cold and lifeless?

Serena Lowe is a child prodigy who builds a billion-dollar fortune for her family before turning 18 years old. But on the company’s IPO day, she loses her brilliance after being poisoned. Her parents have long favored their adopted daughter, who steals not only their love but also Serena’s childhood sweetheart. After leaving home, Serena unexpectedly spends a night with Wilder Lute. When she learns she is pregnant, she chooses to keep the baby.

Serena is betrayed by her birth father, cheating ex‑boyfriend and vicious stepsister, and sold as prey at an underground auction. Wealthy heir Alexander lives with Selective Touch Disorder: any ordinary human touch inflicts searing burning pain, and Serena is his only cure. He pays a sky‑high price to rescue her. A cold contract binds them: her companionship in return for life‑saving medical treatment for her mother. Trapped in a twisted physical bond, they face brutal high‑society schemes and relentless persecution from her cruel family. Strong‑willed Serena refuses to be merely his cure. The ruthless billionaire grows genuinely attached to her during their transactional relationship. Deadly threats keep coming: kidnapping, public humiliation, frame‑ups and car‑crash plots, set off by her ex, stepsister, greedy father and the domineering matriarch of the wealthy family. From helpless auction‑cage captive, she breaks her dark chains. What started as a contract turns into real love. Through mutual redemption, she defeats all her tormentors and rises to become the lady of the powerful billionaire household.

In her previous life, Serena, the Golden-Tailed Princess of Atlantis, was betrayed and murdered by her adopted sister, Lina, and her fiancé, Kaelen. Reborn with the memories of her past, she sees through their schemes and, to escape her doomed fate, ventures into the Abyss, where she bonds with the ancient Sea God Nereus, who has long been sealed away. Their union leaves her carrying nine divine eggs. At the Birthing Ceremony, Serena exposes the villains' conspiracy and joins forces with Nereus to defeat them. Together, they abolish the merfolk tail-caste system, and Serena ascends as the Sea Queen, ruling the deep sea alongside the Sea God.

A deadly shipwreck. One glance, and mermaid Serena falls for Marcus, bleeding herself dry to save him. But he chooses her scheming stepsister instead. Heartbroken, Serena becomes the Sea Emperor Julian's bride. When Marcus finally learns the truth, regret drives him into the sea—but Serena has already found her true love.

On our fifth anniversary, Alpha Liam gave me nothing more than a simple pack mark of protection. That same night, he held a bonding ceremony with his first love, the she-wolf Seraphina. I refused to accept it. He accused me of being irrational. “My bonding with Seraphina is for the future of the pack, not because I still have feelings for her.” “You’re only human. Shouldn’t my pack’s mark be enough? This was your final test, Elena, and you’ve failed.” I walked away. And he turned around and proposed to Seraphina. Five years later, we met again at an exclusive hotel designated by the Alpha Council. His pack was on the verge of becoming a major power, and he had Seraphina, draped in a moonlight silk gown, on his arm. When he saw me, covered in sand and standing ankle-deep in the hotel’s ornamental fountain, he frowned. “Elena,” he scoffed. “You looked down on my protection back then. Look at you now. I bet you can’t find a single pack in this city willing to take in a human.” “And don’t think this pathetic display will make me take you back.” I ignored him. My cub’s treasured moonstone, a gift he’d found while combing the beach, had slipped into the fountain. The little guy was beside himself, and I had to find his precious amulet.

I was the biological daughter of the Moretti family, stolen and deliberately switched at birth. When they finally brought me home, everyone believed I had come for their money and power. No one said it more often than Bianca, the daughter they had raised in my place. She said poor people knew better than anyone how to look helpless, and how to trick the rich out of everything they owned. For three years, I tried to prove her wrong. I kept the surname Vale. I stayed away from Moretti Holdings. I refused every expensive gift they offered me. Then my father announced that the family was facing a liquidity crisis. Several core accounts had been frozen, and three of their transport routes had been shut down at once. I believed him. I signed an emergency cash-sale agreement for the house my adoptive mother had left me and rushed to the hotel with confirmation that eight hundred thousand dollars was waiting in escrow. Only then did I learn that there was no crisis. It had been a test. Bianca swirled the wine in her glass and smiled at the room. “She offered eight hundred thousand because she thinks she can use it to buy the entire Moretti family.” My parents did not contradict her. My father even asked whether I had known all along that the family could never truly fall. In that moment, I finally understood. No matter how much I gave, they would call it calculation. So I revoked the transfer authorization. I gave up the Moretti name, and then I gave up on them.
