Noah, a gifted but emotionally closed-off artist, had a dream of having his own art show. He reluctantly goes out to the club, he usualy work, where he meets Kai—a global superstar whose life is dictated by the merciless glare of the spotlight. Their initial meeting is far from ideal, colliding in a hot-headed argument that neither will ever be able to erase. But fate has other plans. As their paths continue to intertwine, Kai finds solace in Noah’s raw honesty, while Noah is drawn to the vulnerability hidden behind Kai’s dazzling facade. Their love story unfolds in secret—stolen moments, whispered confessions, and the ever-present fear of exposure. They are left with impossible decisions with the burden of celebrity weighing on them and an industry that prohibits love. When betrayal, heartbreak, and time try to tear them apart, one question remains—will love be enough to overcome the world?

The news was a brutal hammer blow, which shattered the fragile hope she clung to, leaving only the raw, agonizing fear of a future alone and an uncertain future. Amputated, she repeated. How will he work? What about our lives? Our children? What about our plans? The promise we have made together - has it all gone down the drain? My husband, one leg? God, oh God is this really happening? She muttered. I understand this is incredibly difficult, and I know there are no words that can truly ease this pain. But we are here to support you. Please take your time. Would you like us to call a family member to be with you? He asked with concern etched on his face. All she could do was nod, unable to speak, as she continued to shake and sob. Nurse, Doctor Eden called out,

“Just—just get it over with.” He paused, titling his head sideways. “Get what over with?” I glare at him, “The rejection. Just do it.” He stared at me, the smile he wore on his face suddenly dropped, replaced by a frown I didn’t like. “You think I intend to hurt you? That I will reject you?” Okay, if he wanted to play this way then no problem. “Fine. If you won’t reject me, I reject you.” I don’t even have time to react before he’s in front of me, one knee pressing onto the bed, hands braced on either side of me. “Try again, little wolf.” He leans in, his lips a breath away from my ear. “Reject me all you want,” he murmurs. “The moon goddess brought you here for me and now you’re mine.” ~~~~~ Emma had always been nothing. An orphan. An omega. A maid. A shadow in her own pack. But when she turned eighteen, the Moon Goddess gave her hope, her mate was Aiden Dale, the future Alpha. For the first time, she thought she belonged. For the first time, she believed she was wanted. But Aiden shattered her. He rejected her. He used her. And then, in front of the entire pack, he claimed another as his mate and Luna. Broken and betrayed, Emma ran. She didn’t care where she ended up, until she crossed into forbidden land and was thrown into a cage, waiting to die. Only for him to appear. Kieran Valerian. The Lycan King. A man whispered about in fear. A ruler with blood on his hands. And when his golden eyes locked onto hers, the entire world seemed to stop. “Mate.” But Emma refuses to be weak ever again. She will never beg for love. Never trust an Alpha’s promises. Not even when the most powerful Lycan alive looks at her like she belongs to him. Not even when his touch ignites something she can’t control. Because she learned the hard way that mates can destroy you. And this time, she won’t go down without a fight.

Ryzel, a nineteen-year-old guide, was expecting to marry Dwight, but the man changed his mind a month before the wedding. “I’m sorry, Ryzel. I wanted a nice and compassionate wife, so I am going to marry Sean instead. Unlike you, who were usually preoccupied with other things, he always showed concern for me. Not to mention how highly compatible we are with one another. I've actually met him before, but he persuaded me to date you because he feels sorry for you." Without even waiting for Ryzel's response, the man left. Ryzel, who was left behind, can't even bother caring about his heart because he's been dealing with a lot of issues as a result of the sudden rejection. He was turning 20 in a month, which meant he had to be married according to the federation's laws. After he reaches the age of 20, the government's assistance will cease, leaving him to fend for his own expenses. If he is not married to a powerful sentinel, he will not be able to reclaim his inheritance and will be forced to die on the front lines. He instantly began looking for solutions, but his hope kept dwindling as his birthday approached without a proper solution to his problems. On the day he felt all hope was lost, his ex’s superior, General Lewis, proposed to him. "I'm not gentle and kind; my priority probably won’t be you; our compatibility may not be high; do you still want to marry me?" Ryzel questioned, fixing his gaze on the general. "It's okay, I don't need my wife to be gentle and kind. Our compatibility is also high. You can focus on your studies, job, or dreams. As long as you remember that you are my guide." “Okay, let’s get married.” ------------------------ This is the story of Ryzel's advancement in career and love life, even with all the troubles surrounding him.

“You want to know about the mate bond we share?” His words stopped me midway as I turned around to face him. I didn’t say a word as I felt my heart palpitate in anticipation. “Beta Perez, I…” Before I could speak, he continued. “I have decided to never let a woman into my life, Miss. James. I have learned long back that they only serve as a distraction. Why would I need a mate if I could have any women I want? Am I right, Miss. James?” He asked me as I felt my eyes burn, but I held back my tears. “A mate is your better half, Beta Perez.” I choked out the words when he let out a humorless laugh. “According to me, you need a mate to satisfy your needs and maybe an heir in the long run. I think I can buy that with some money, Miss. James.” “Don’t you feel the mate bond, Beta Perez?” I asked him, but he didn’t answer. “I would have at least considered mating with you if you held a rank, Miss. James. But I don’t think I want a woman who is a nobody with a lonely mother and a runaway father.” I felt my chest rise and fall in anger while something broke within me.

Join us in this journey where Aurora and Zander find love again as sparks ignite between them and desire crackles in the air, the tension builds, pushing them closer together.

It was a rainy morning in Seoul. As usual, I sat in the corner of the classroom, holding the worn notebook that always accompanied me. Every page was a note about him—the one whose name I had never spoken. But today, the notebook was soaked with rainwater, and for the first time, I saw something that had never been there before: a message written on the last page, as if I had written it myself. "Don't let the rain stop you. There is something bigger waiting for you." Who wrote this? I don't even remember writing it. It was the beginning of a secret that would change my life.
