"I can't be with you," he states, and I look up at him in outrage. "This isn't right." I take a step closer to him, pressing my body on his and feeling him responding with desire. "Look me in the eye and tell me that it feels wrong." He doesn't move. But he doesn't turn away either when I lift my hand to his chest, letting my hand trail down. "Don't," he warns, but I can only hear lust in his voice. "Dont' start a game that you can't finish." I don't listen. I let my touch speak for itself, to let it translate all the need I feel in my body right now. I go lower, much lower, until he finally snaps and grabs my face, devouring my lips and pressing me up against the wall.

Hindi akalain ni Serena na ang simpleng pagtanggi niya na sapilitang maikasal sa kuya ng kanyang best friend ang magiging daan pala para maungkat ang isang rebelasyon tungkol sa pagkatao niya. Iyon din ang naging simula ng isang napakalaking pagbabago sa buhay niya. Mula sa pagiging tagapagmana ng mga Choi ay natagpuan niya na lang ang sarili niya na nasa isang napakahirap na kalagayan. Mula sa naglalakihan at mga bonggang runway platform na nilalakaran niya suot ang iba't-ibang designer items ay naroon siya ngayon sa isang maliit na entabladong nasa gitna ng madilim na club— sumasayaw ng malaswang sayaw habang suot ang maliliit na piraso ng tela na kaunti na lang ay maglalantad na sa kaluluwa niya. Mula sa tingin ng paghanga at sigaw ng admirasyon mula sa mga umiidolo sa kanya ay nauwi siya sa pagsalo ng mga malalagkit na tingin at mahahalay na salita mula sa mga lalaking hindi niya kilala na pawang mga hayok sa laman. Ang magandang katawan na dati niyang iniingat-ingatan, ngayon ay naging parausan na lang ng kung sino man ang may kakayahang magluwal ng pinakamalaking halaga para sa isang gabing impiyerno sa loob ng VIP room ng club. Paanong ang simpleng paghahangad ng kabutihan niya para sa sarili ay naging sanhi ng pagbaliktad ng mundo niya at pagkawala sa kanya ng mga taong mahalaga sa buhay niya? Ngunit sa kabila ng hirap at walang katiyakan ay pinili niya pa ring mabuhay. Kahit alang-alang na lang sa isisilang niyang anak sa lalaking nakasama niya sa isang gabing impiyerno na iyon. Sa lalaking hindi niya man lang nakikilala...

J'ai aimé Luc Dupont pendant dix ans, mais il a dit : « Elle ne m'intéresse pas. » Et puis il a passé ses jours et ses nuits avec une autre femme… En tant que son amie d'enfance pendant dix ans, lui et moi n'avons pas eu de bons résultats, alors je ne voulais plus être son second choix. Plus tard, j’étais sur le point de me marier avec une autre personne. Au milieu de la nuit, Luc a frappé à ma porte en disant : « Claire Moreau… » « M. Luc, puis-je vous aider ? » Ensuite, la voix sexy d'un homme est venue de la chambre à coucher : « Chérie, où as-tu mis mes sous-vêtements ? » En entendant cela, Luc a titubé et a craché une bouchée de sang devant moi… Peu de temps après, je suis tombée sur le blog de Luc : « Il y a des gens à qui l'on manque pour la vie.

Operation Seduce Her Father’s Friend began but as she progresses, she soon discovers that she had bitten way more than she can chew.

Faced with such an overwhelming passion, will she be able to handle it or will she run for the hills?

In honor of my mother’s last wish, I concealed my true identity and married Alpha Xavier, the son of my father’s closest friend. Ours wasn’t a storybook romance at first, but through our union, I grew to love him deeply. On the night of our wedding, as we pledged ourselves to each other, war erupted. My new husband—the fierce and honorable Alpha—was called to the front lines, leaving me behind with one promise: to wait. He swore that when he returned, he’d spend every day of his life by my side, that I was his only love. While he fought, I dedicated myself to the pack, stepping into the role of Luna with every ounce of strength and loyalty I had. I protected them, nurtured them, and in time, I earned their love and respect. I became their Luna in heart and in spirit. A year later, Xavier returned, victorious. But he didn’t come back alone. By his side was Bianca, a warrior celebrated across the realm, a woman with scars that tell stories of triumph on the battlefield. Xavier declared her his true mate, already bound to her through the sacred mark. She stood as my equal, sharing the title of Luna. But Bianca is no quiet partner. She sees herself as more than a “housewife” and makes it clear she’d rather be on the battlefield than tied to pack life. Xavier, reveling in his victory, has even traded his war victories with the Alpha King for what he calls the “Luna Duet,” a shared rule with me and Bianca. But I won’t be cast aside or overshadowed. If he wants two Lunas, may the best Luna win.

I liked every inch of it, and now I can’t bring myself to stop wanting more…
