A love story written in glances, laughter, and stolen moments. He ran beside her in schoolyard races, learned dances to make her smile, and shared stories only she could understand. As years pass and paths diverge, the story of their childhood friendship transforms into a tale of longing, hope, and first love — one that could either remain unspoken or finally find its voice. This story, while embroidered with a touch of fiction for drama, is deeply inspired by my real-life experiences and the emotions I lived through.

He picked her up and took her home, but he couldn't watch her grow up. When they met again, he was a business tycoon who could call the wind and summon the rain. His possessiveness toward her became uncontrollable the moment he saw her again. He had never spoken words of love to her, yet he regarded every man around her as a rival in love. She kept her love for him a secret, but little did she know that he had always had ulterior motives, plotting for her to marry him. After a difficult marriage, the always gentlemanly and elegant man became like a wolf at night, entangling with her.

Lennox cornered her in the hallway, his amber eyes troubled. “You didn’t deserve that.” “Didn’t I?” Olivia challenged. “Wasn’t it you who told the entire pack that the daughter of a traitor should be treated as less than human?” “I was wrong,” he admitted. “We all were.” “Three years, Lennox. Three years of serving as your Omega, of being spat on, of watching you three worship the ground Anita walks on while I’m nothing but a shameful secret.” From the shadows, Levi’s voice emerged. “The Moon Goddess bound us for a reason.” Olivia’s bitter laugh echoed through the corridor. “And you’ve fought that reason every step of the way.” “We didn’t know,” Louis appeared beside his brothers, forming the triangle that had always made Olivia feel trapped. “About your father, about the conspiracy—” “So that’s what it takes?” she asked, voice trembling. “My father’s name being cleared for you to acknowledge me as your Luna? As your mate?” “No,” Lennox reached for her. “It’s seeing your strength, your resilience despite everything we put you through.” “We were cruel,” Levi admitted. “We were wrong,” Louis echoed. Olivia looked at each of them, these three powerful Alphas now regarding her with something approaching reverence. Olivia’s smile held no warmth. “Now I realize some wounds cut too deep to heal. You can’t break someone for years and expect them to be whole for you when it’s convenient.”

I let out a bitter laugh. “It’s ironic, isn’t it? You spent years making my life a living hell, and now you look at me like I’m the very air you breathe.” Lennox’s face fell. “Olivia, it wasn’t supposed to be like this—” I cut him off, my eyes blazing with anger. “Oh, but it was. You wanted me broken. You wanted me to suffer. And I did.” I paused, my voice trembling. “But not anymore.” Louis, who had been silent, spoke softly. “Olivia, we—” I shook my head and took a step back, putting distance between us. “No. Whatever you think you feel, it doesn’t matter. It’s too late. You had a choice. And every single time, you chose her. Over and over again, you chose Anita.” Levi shook his head. “We were wrong.” I met their gazes. “Yes, you were. And now, you’ll have to live with it.” With that, I turned away, refusing to let them see the tears burning in my eyes. •••••••• Olivia Parker was once the cherished daughter of a respected Gamma—until betrayal shattered her world.

For ten years, Luo Yixin stood silently by Ren Jiayun’s side—his best friend, his confidante, his shadow. She was the one who knew how he liked his coffee, who answered his late-night calls, who watched him fall in love and fall apart… all while hiding her own feelings behind quiet smiles.

 Her silence hides scars from the past — a betrayal or a forced decision that kept them apart. Till  they meet again at a meeting between their empires And he shows nothing but hate, contempt  Jealousy? Obsession! Possession! and betrayal… is about to be unveiled  Is it just a charade?is he still madly obsessed, yearning for her?….. Well let’s find out.

The King is dead. The palace chef is accused of murder. And the new King—the son returning to claim the throne—wants the truth. She swears she’s innocent. He swears to uncover her lies. But when suspicion turns into desire, will he crown her guilty… or his Queen? _____________________ Once the palace’s quiet chef, she is suddenly branded the prime suspect in a murder that could topple the throne.

Yet the deeper he digs, the more he finds himself drawn to the very suspect who might have spilled his father’s last cup of wine. Was she the King’s poisoner… or his only ally in a palace drowning in lies? ______________ EXCERPT “You're lying to me, aren't you, Althea? That's not the reason." Alaric pulled her impossibly closer, causing her to stand on her tiptoes. Her face turned up towards his. He dragged his nose across her cheeks. Althea's eyes closed at the contact against her will, and her breath hitched as his lips found her ear. "Tell me what it is. Is it because of whatever rumors you have heard about Morwenna and me?" Althea stiffened instantly, and her eyes shot open. Alaric felt the change and looked into her eyes. He could see the guilt in her eyes, and he smiled. Althea blinked at his reaction. "I don't have any intention of marrying her or getting engaged with her. I have no intentions with her at all. The one I have any intentions with is you and only you, Althea." With that he tilted his head, and his lips met hers in a passionate kiss. The hunger in his kiss left no space for doubt. It was fierce and consuming, as if he'd been starving for her all along. He kissed her like a starved man, each breathless press pulling her deeper into a storm she couldn't resist.

Waking up crushed under a man, I nearly screamed—until I saw who it was. Adrian. My cold, obsessive husband. The man I spent a lifetime escaping from. In my past life, I trusted the wrong people. Betrayed the only man who ever protected me and died alone. One life ruined me. This one? I’ll ruin everyone who tries again. Now, the game is mine and I write the rules. I'll act sweet. Stay mysterious. And pit every snake against each other. And as for my dangerously obsessed husband? I will tame—wait... WAIT! I was just being a little gentle, why is this tyrant acting like a delicate princess? 'Hey, hey, stop clinging to me! What? You want cuddles? Head pats? You—You are not a cat, Adrian!' … “He’s deathly allergic to strawberries? But he devoured one from my hand like it’s a miracle elixir.” “He has sleeping disorders? But he hugged me and passed out like a lazy cat!” “He’s sulking… because I didn’t hold his hand?” When he saw me hugging my female best friend? He lost his mind. Yanked me into his arms and growled, “Mine,” like a deranged villain in love. I finally understood: no one else ever stood a chance. I was his only obsession.
