Ordinary Grace

Dalawang taon na ang lumipas ngunit hindi pa rin nakakalimutan ni Erica ang gabing nagbago ng lahat. Isang umagang iniwan niya ang lalaking hindi niya kilala, dala ang perang kinuha mula sa pitaka nito at ang lihim na kalaunan ay magiging bunga ng isang anak na babae. Simula noon, mag-isa niyang itinaguyod ang bata, walang alam sa tunay na pagkakakilanlan ng ama. Sa unang araw niya bilang janitress sa isang mataas na gusali, inatasan siyang linisin ang opisina ng CEO sa top floor. Doon niya nabasa ang pangalang matagal nang pamilyar sa kanya, si Elias Samonte, ang ninong na hindi kailanman nagpakita sa kanyang buhay. Ngunit ang mas malaking pagkabigla ay nang harapin siya ng lalaking nasa loob ng opisina. Sa isang iglap, bumalik ang alaala ng gabing pilit niyang kinalimutan. Ang lalaking nakatayo sa harap niya ay ang estrangherong naging ama ng kanyang anak. At sa muling pagtatagpong iyon, malinaw na ang nakaraan na kanyang tinakbuhan ay hindi pa tapos sa kanya.

Seraphine Vale is the only child of Maelis Vale, a respected family of the Night Fang Pack. Born under the Moon Goddess’s prophecy, Seraphine was fated to bond with the Alpha Triplets: Kaleen Thorne, Lysander Thorne, and Riven Thorne, the heirs of the Night Fang Pack.

Seraphine Vale's mother dies protecting her, marking the night with grief and betrayal. Seraphine flees the Night Fang Pack and runs into exile, where she would survive as silent, wolfless, and cursed. Despite the Alpha Triplets' rejection, the bond still screamed Seraphine's name. Years later, under a blood-red moon, the Moon Goddess issues a proclamation that shakes the werewolf world: The one whom Seraphine Vale willingly accepts back shall be ruler of the Night Fang Pack.

The question remains: who has the best approach to regain her trust, loyalty, and heart?Seraphine Vale might return not broken but strong. She may return, not as their Luna, but for revenge.

A wolf howls. The forest stills… for a moment. Then, all wildlife burst into motion. Every living thing, from the smallest lizards and toads to the great brown bears and powerful mountain lions, flee. Spiders scurry to the top of their webs. Birds take flight. Squirrels leap from branch to branch. Wide-eyed deer and elk jump over brush and fallen logs. A lone wolf pauses, but tucks his tail and turns to join the escape. The wind whips through the forest, causing leaves to fall and tall pines to groan. Thundering hooves and paws make the forest floor shake. Finally, the forest stills. The wind gusts slow to a gentle and warm breeze. The wildlife seem calm once more and return to their foraging, napping, or grazing. The wolf howls again. ++++++++++++++++++++++++ Amerie moved to a small town in Montana for a fresh start and to follow her dreams. Things are starting to look up and feel right again.

When the fire broke out, I called my husband, Hector. He didn't answer. Instead, he ran straight into the flames—to save my sister, Emma. They held each other, clinging to life, while I was trapped in the basement, watching my calls go ignored until all hope burned out. Afterward, Emma played innocent, twisting everything. She told him, "Hector, don't blame Sienna. She didn't leave me on purpose... she was just scared." Her lie made me the villain, and everyone bought it. Fueled by hatred, Hector spat, "She's so vicious—why didn't that fire just take her?" Three months later, the police found my body.
