SYNOPSIS:I thought meeting my mate would be the start of my happily ever after. For a moment, it was. Jacob Jude, the powerful heir of the Golden Claw Pack, ignited a fire in me that I’d never known. Then, in one cruel twist, he shattered my world.

With my sight newly restored, I opened my eyes to betrayal—false accusations, heartbreak, and the lifeless body of my twin sister. Losing them both on the same day nearly destroyed me. But someone pulled me back from the edge.

Four years later, I’m no longer the fragile, blind girl who was cast aside. I’ve rebuilt myself, stronger and sharper than ever. Returning to the Golden Claw Pack wasn’t in my plans, but fate has a cruel sense of humor. Because standing at the altar is the man who broke me... and the sister I buried.

Now, I have one question—will love or vengeance claim me first?

I felt warm soft lips on my neck. My body felt like it was igniting.
“Your skin is so soft.” A voice said against my neck.

It was a familiar smooth voice that felt like it was filled with a richness. I felt a soft bite into my neck, and I moaned. Large hands slid down my sides. My knee went up and those large hands slid up my thighs, gently, caressing me.
The hands came up and moved between us to grab at my breasts.
The mouth that was occupying my neck moved down kissing my throat. My hands slid from his pale skin to his muscled back and wrapped into clean white hair.

Grey Eyes, black wings, and white hair that reminded me of silver. That was my future. A mastermind behind a stone mask. Someone who had been my bully all throughout my childhood. He became my captor, my husband, my abuser, my protector, my comfort, my partner, and my lover.

I got expelled from my other schools for fighting and arguing with the staffs. I have a big mouth and it seems to put me in a lot of trouble.

​

Oh and i'm also gay.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

​

"Rumi, it's time to go."".

​

I sighed. "I heard you the first time lady."

​

"Rumi don't be rude!" My father said as he walked pass my room.

​

Why do parents have to be so annoying. I got up and went to the bathroom and took a shower and combed my hair. I got dress and went downstairs I sat at the table while my step mom brought my breakfast but I ignored her and use my laptop to push the plate away. I don't mean to be rude so early but I'm not in the mood to deal with my parents or to acknowledge her burnt pancakes.

​

"Ready for your first day honey?" she ask.

​

"No, I don't want to go."I replied.

​

"Well you're going." My dad said. He was rubbing my step mother's belly and smiling like he's crazy, She's pregnant with my sibling.

​

I reach the bridge and stop. Below me, the river rushes swiftly, glittering under the moonlight. The sound of the water grows louder, colliding with my restless thoughts. Tears blur my vision. Tonight, it feels as though my life’s end rests in my own hands.

My chest tightens as I step forward, my heart pounding wildly. Darkness creeps in “Mu…mma…!!”

The voice freezes me. My breath stops. I turn instantly.

Little Ria stands there, staring at me with wide, innocent eyes filled with confusion. Why is Mumma crying? Why is she here? I cannot bear her gaze. My trembling foot pulls back as if death itself has released me.

Behind her stands Neil. His arms are crossed, his face rigid, his eyes burning red with anger, The sight of him makes me shudder.

“Go on,” he shouts bitterly. “Do it. Jump. Die.”

His words rip through my chest. Suddenly, he strides forward and grips my arm tightly. Pain shoots through me.

“What happened now?” he growls. “Jump!”

“Neil… it hurts,” I whisper.

“Do you even know how much pain I’m in?” he yells, his eyes storming with unshed tears.

Then I feel tiny arms around my legs.

Ria clings to me, her small hands refusing to let go. In her broken voice, she pleads, “Do…n’t… go… Mu…mma…”

I collapse, pulling her into my chest, sobbing uncontrollably. Neil lets go of my arm, his voice now exhausted.

“You never thought about me… or this child.”

“No!” I scream. “I love her… I’m not selfish!”

Neil speaks again, each word breaking me. “That one night mattered more than my love.”

He takes a shaky breath. “You’re still my love… that’s why I’m leaving. Forever.”

My heart stops.

“I hope,” he says softly with teary eyes, “you'll find a better life partner.”

I never thought my best friend would become the source of my deepest pain.

When Alpha Mason Grey found his true mate, everything changed. One moment, I was the girl he promised forever to. The next, I was invisible—replaced by Luna Stella, a woman as beautiful as fresh snow and twice as cold.

She makes my life miserable when no one's watching. The humiliation, the cruelty, the constant reminders that I don't belong—I endure it all in silence. Because speaking up means losing everything: my home, my pack, my family.

But when Mason banishes me without a second thought, I discover something that changes everything. I'm carrying his child—a secret he'll never know.

He took my heart, my dignity, and my place in the pack. But this baby? This is mine. And I'll protect it with everything I have, even if it means starting over alone.

Little does Mason know, the girl he threw away is stronger than he ever imagined. And one day, he'll realize exactly what he lost.

After I gained the ability to read minds, my senior, who had taken care of me for years, thought: "What a shame I didn't install a camera in her bathroom..."

My senior was handsome, wealthy, and had a gentle personality. I thought I must have misheard, but the next day, I found a tiny hidden camera in my bathroom.

In a panic, the innocent junior who had been pursuing me for half a year suddenly showed up at my door.

"If she doesn't agree today, I'll just drug her. I've wasted too much time already."

My mind went blank. Trembling, I forced a smile and let him in.

I don't remember anything. Not my name, not my life, not even what I did yesterday. The only thing that I seem to remember is my training. A training to obey my masters in every desire they have. I don't know what will happen next, but then I remember dark brown eyes. A shiver runs down my spine when I think about those dark brown eyes, and I feel moist between my thighs. A reflex that I can't stop. I do not know what it means, and I do not know whose eyes they are, but it's the only thing that I remember.

At its heart, the story follows a love triangle woven with power, ambition, and desire.

The plot begins when Chiamaka, an ordinary woman with unshakable resilience, encounters Ade Bakare, a billionaire known for his dominance in both business and society. Their first accidental meeting creates an undeniable spark, one that both terrifies and intrigues Chiamaka. For Ade, a man used to control, her resistance only fuels his obsession.

As the story develops, Ade pursues Chiamaka with intensity but never outright force, pulling her slowly into his orbit. His wealth and influence dazzle her, but his raw presence unsettles her even more. At the same time, Dapo—Ade’s ambitious protégé—enters Chiamaka’s life with charm and apparent safety, though beneath his smooth surface lies envy and manipulation. A dangerous triangle emerges: Chiamaka caught between two men, Ade fighting his own contradictions between obsession and emotion, and Dapo plotting betrayal while disguising it as friendship.

The turning points come through a series of confrontations and revelations:

Chiamaka’s entry into Ade’s private world, where attraction becomes undeniable.

Dapo’s quiet moves to exploit her vulnerability and undermine Ade.

Chiamaka’s inner conflict between desire and danger, torn between her modest reality and the storm of power circling her.

As the conflicts deepen, the love story evolves into something larger than attraction. It becomes about trust, betrayal, and survival in a world where power dictates choices. Ade must confront his humanity, Chiamaka must face the cost of desire, and Dapo must reckon with the consequences of his ambition.

The conclusion will bind together love, betrayal, and sacrifice, proving that love born in forbidden fire never leaves anyone unscathed.

I closed my eyes and announced, "I am not Anna!"
He said calmly, "Well, I knew about it already."
My eyes flared open in shock, "How - How did you know?"
He looked deeply into my eyes and replied, "I met Anna at a ball but didn't feel anything. But when I saw you for the first time in the carriage, I felt the bond between us."
Sweat beads covered my forehead as I tried to process his words. Did it mean…?
The man knew what was going on in my head and replied, "Yes, you are right! You are my mate."
