HE WAS BORN TO INHERIT AN EMPIRE... UNTIL ONE SINGLE MISTAKE COST HIM EVERYTHING! Heir to an empire with a last name that opens every door, Asher West was powerful. An Alpha bred to be dominant, Asher takes what he wants and leaves behind a trail of broken hearts, never looking back. But for all his arrogance, Asher had two weaknesses. His taste for danger…and his blistering, malignant, and seething HATRED for his half-brother, Zane West. And that hatred was the key to opening the pandora’s box of his misery. Now stripped of his status, his pride, and his biology, Asher finds himself trapped in an Omega’s body, in a world that only worships the strength of an Alpha. And worse, the man holding the leash is none other than the one he hated the most. His half-brother, now his master. Zane West. The bastard no one wanted. The illegitimate Alpha, who clawed his way out of nothing while watching Asher like a wolf watches a dying stag. Silent. Cold. Hungry. There’s no mercy or humanity left in Zane’s gaze, only the promise of ownership. And the slow, patient destruction of the golden prince who once ruled him. Zane doesn’t want love. Or even forgiveness. He wants to own Asher, furrow deep into his skull until his entire existence revolves around pleasing him, Zane West. In a war for dominance where obsession replaces love and revenge tastes like sex and blood, who really wields the power?

"You're a virgin?!" sigaw ni Lysander Cuevas saka umalis sa ibabaw niya. Hinilamos nito ang palad sa mukha, trying to absorb everything that just happened. Trying to fully understand how could his wife be a virgin when she's supposed to be pregnant, the very reason of their forced marriage. "Papaano?" tanong ni Lysander at saka pinagmasdan siya na kumuha ng kumot upang takpan ang hubad na katawan. She trembled in fear as she finally looked up to him. "I'm Isabella, the twin sister of Gabriela, your bride." - Pinahid na lamang ni Isabella ang mga luha na lumalandas sa kanyang mga pisngi habang inaalala ang nangyari noong gabing iyon. After that confrontation ay agad na nagdesisyon ang asawa niyang si Lysander na palayasin siya sa mansyon. Ang malupit pa nito ay agad pinaasikaso ni Lysander ang mga papeles para sa legal nilang paghihiwalay, ngunit hindi niya iyon tinanggap. "Señorita Isabella, naghihintay na po ang sasakyan sa labas," sambit ng lalaking nasa likuran niya. It was her grandfathers' assistant. Tumango lamang siya dito, "susunod na ako, salamat." Muling lumingon si Isabella sa mansyon at doon ay namataan ang asawang si Lysander na nakatayo sa balcony at matalim ang tingin sa kanya. Hinihinntay niyang pigilan siya ni Lysander ngunit wala itong ginawa. Sa puntong iyon ay tuluyang tumalikod si Isabella at naglakad patungo sa naghihintay na sasakyan sa labas ng malaking gate. She's going home to the Herrera's. She looked at the facade of the mansion where she once lived. "Babalik ako." She whispered. - This is the story of Isabella Herrera-Cuevas, a castaway wife who made her way back to her rightful place, as Lysander Cuevas wife.
