Michael Carter—the most dangerous, the most powerful, and the most mysterious name in the capital. His mere presence was enough to silence people. A personality so formidable that not only enemies but even the closest ones hesitated to get close to him. It was said about him that he believed in neither emotions nor relationships. The brilliance of money and power was his entire world. He was so isolated that strange rumors began to spread about him—some even believed he was gay because no woman’s shadow had ever been seen in his life. On the other hand was Ruby Smith—a simple, straightforward, but bubbly girl. She had grown up through struggles, but she lived her life with a smile on her face and dreams in her eyes. She had no connection to wealth, but in her small world, she was very happy. She trusted neither fate nor the dreams of princes. But fate had something else in store. One day, when Ruby and Michael’s paths crossed, no one could have imagined that their first meeting would change their lives forever. There was something in Michael's eyes that reached deep into Ruby's soul. And Michael... a man who had never been touched by a woman, decided that very day that he would marry Ruby. The decision was sudden, unbelievable, and for Ruby, it was like a storm. She wasn't ready—for this relationship, for this world. But Michael was in a hurry. His grandfather's last wish was that he marry and take on responsibility, and Michael was determined not to break that vow. And thus, a marriage based on a contract took place—Michael Carter and Ruby Smith. On one side was a man drenched in power and prestige, whose heart seemed impossible to reach... and on the other was a girl who carried love and hopes in her heart, but was forced by circumstances. Now the question is— Will this relationship, which started as an agreement, truly turn into love? Can Ruby, who is living in fear and confusion, change a man like Michael, whose heart is as hard as stone? Or will this marriage remain another incomplete story?

Mate. Something every werewolf looks forward to. The thought of finding someone tailor-made by the moon goddess for you alone in the entire world is exhilarating. At least it was for me. For a while. I waited for what felt like forever. Everyone finds their mate once they turn eighteen. I'll be eighteen in a few days. I wanted to keep myself for my mate. To be pure but who was I kidding. Nobody could have prepared me for who my mate was. Not even my adoptive parents. The alpha's son. Maverick Tatum. The same boy I used to think of as a scum after watching how he treats the female in the pack. That same boy was my mate. I'm Ares Powers. My parents said they found me in the woods with my name engraved in the wood of the beads I was wearing. They have tried taking off the beads multiple times when I was growing up. They couldn't. They took me to the pack seer and he said only my true mate can help me remove the beads and unlock my wolf's highest potential. I wonder why my birth parents would want to keep my powers locked. The day I found out Maverick was my mate was the same day he rejected me. In front of everyone. The next day, I was banished from the pack. I swore to get my revenge then. But until then, I have to find a way to unlock my wolf's full potential because my mate turned out to be unreliable.

For eight years, Cecilia Moore was the perfect Luna, loyal, and unmarked. Until the day she found her Alpha mate with a younger, purebred she-wolf in his bed. In a world ruled by bloodlines and mating bonds, Cecilia was always the outsider. But now, she's done playing by wolf rules. She smiles as she hands Xavier the quarterly financials-divorce papers clipped neatly beneath the final page. “You're angry?” he growls. “Angry enough to commit murder,” she replies, voice cold as frost. A silent war brews under the roof they once called home. Xavier thinks he still holds the power-but Cecilia has already begun her quiet rebellion. With every cold glance and calculated step, she's preparing to disappear from his world-as the mate he never deserved. And when he finally understands the strength of the heart he broke... It may be far too late to win it back.
