Falling for his warm touch despite his usual coldness, she loved him only to be disappointed and betrayed in the end. When love turns to darkness, it festers to be poisonous and consumes the soul. The naïve Arabella evolved. *** “Thank you for becoming my wife,” was her cold husband’s last words before he died, coupled with a smile that had never before graced his lips. Not on their wedding day. And not even at the birth of their only child. Emperor Ferdinand, someone Arabella loved so much, killed their son. She became a villainess and vowed revenge for her beloved child. For a decade, she used everything she could to make Ferdinand pay. Until finally… he fell to ruin! With her revenge complete, Arabella's life soon ended with her dead husband in her arms. But fate wasn’t done playing with her. All of a sudden, she was back two decades ago right after their wedding. Was it a curse or a blessing? It didn’t matter. Because there is only one thing she needed to do. “I will ruin you in this lifetime too!” This was her hateful promise to herself upon realizing she was reborn. But in her second life, Arabella was unexpectedly bestowed a gift to uncover the truth. Who was wrong and who was right? Only time will tell.

Chapter 1Prologue

With a cold pair of amber eyes that looked dead due to the lack of emotion, Empress Arabella silently watched as the ever so glorious and formerly undefeated Valeria Empire finally fell to ruin for the first time since its founding.

Surely, her name would go down in history as the villainous empress who caused the downfall of her own husband — the mighty Emperor Ferdinand.

Yes, HIM!

Along with the Valeria Empire that sheltered her for years.

Or did it?

Wasn't it only pain and grief that it caused her?

Ah, there was a bit of joy and warmth in the beginning, when she was nothing but a young pampered lady who knew nothing about the world.

But when she grew wiser, she realized, even those brief moments were not true.

This empire was nothing but a prison to her. 

It shackled her to this cold unwelcoming place and took away everything precious to her.

Her youth, her love, her home, her freedom — and most especially, the light of her life.

Everything!

All this place gave her was misery.

It was hell.

But then again, for Arabella, she had been dead for a while so it didn't really matter anymore.

Nothing mattered since her son's death.

Ah, wait! There is!

Revenge.

The destruction of her once beloved husband and the source of his power.

***

The morbid scent of burning bodies and buildings greeted her nostrils as she got closer to the edge of the window.

Black smoke rose everywhere and made dark clouds loom over the once bright and prosperous empire.

From the highest floor of the Magic Tower, she marveled at the sea of flames engulfing Riva — once the beautiful and glorious capital of Valeria.

This was the fruit of her years of hard work.

All her painstaking efforts finally paid off!

It had been ten years since she plotted to ruin her husband and what he loved the most.

Power.

The power and prestige of the mighty Valerian Empire.

And now, she finally succeeded.

Her husband lost his throne and Riva was in flames.

Valeria had fallen.

Was she happy as she listened to the screams of their people dying?

Heh. Were they ever her people? 

All they did was torment her. 

They were never her people even when she tried her best to be their Empress.

They never truly accepted her despite her efforts.

They never saw her improvement and achievements. 

Instead, they only saw her faults and mistakes.

When she performed well, they scoffed and said it was to be expected. 

That it was the least she could do as the spouse of the Emperor.

They made it seem like she should have done even better and sooner than she did even when her carefree and happy life was suddenly stolen from her so she could be here.

Even her good performance seemed like a mistake since everyone simply said she should have done it so much earlier than she did.

No one talked of her good deeds and improvement since they didn't see it as one.

Yet, if she made even the smallest mistake, it always became a huge issue which got known to everyone and they never moved on from it.

They talked about it so much more than any of her achievements.

Even after the years went by, she was just a foreign Empress they always judged and criticized.

She never truly belonged here, so they were never her people in the first place.

Still…

Was she happy that the capital and the places she used to wander around were all engulfed in flames and would soon turn to ashes?

She wasn't.

But it didn't matter.

Because she could no longer be happy.

Her heart died long ago. 

It was buried with her only child. 

That adorable kid was her light in this dark and cruel place.

He was her only joy.

Her happiness.

Her everything.

Yet, her own husband took his life.

Arabella considered herself dead ever since her son died. 

She thought of herself to have been buried along with him.

What remained was an empty shell with nothing but her hatred, fury, and sorrow. 

It was no longer her.

Just the strong longing to seek vengeance for her innocent and charming son.

It was what kept her alive even when she was already dead inside. 

She had to exact her revenge and ruin the person who mercilessly poisoned her only child.

***

Arabella's eyes had no emotion in them despite the carnage down below.

No happiness or sadness.

Just relief.

Everything was finally over. 

She could finally follow her beloved child.

But when she suddenly wakes up, reborn as her younger self, with a new-gained ability which enlightened her of the truth, will Arabella still be able to continue all the plots she prepared to drag her husband down once again?

Or will love find its way even amidst all the hatred and fury she holds for him and cleanse her tainted soul?

Two times rejected Luna, the desire of all Alphas

Valerie, the daughter of the murdered Alpha of the Yellow Stone Pack, could never lead the pack because she had a Luna wolf. Her mate, Tristan, was made the Alpha in her stead. After assuming the title of Alpha, Valerie was set up and brutally rejected, not only by Tristan but also her whole pack, and her kid sister, Scarlet, with whom Tristan had secret affairs. “I reject Luna Valerie as my mate. She was caught in bed with a stranger, meaning that she would sell the pack out. The punishment for treachery is death,” Alpha Tristan announced heartlessly. The chants from the pack members and visiting Alphas who had come for the Alphas' conference attracted them to the judgment. No one thought that Alpha Denzel, whose name caused the hairs on their skin to stand straight due to his ruthlessness, would make it to the conference. Valerie found hope when she realized that Alpha Denzel was her second chance mate, but painstakingly, she was rejected once again. The double rejection caused her to lose her wolf, and she was condemned to die by all the Alphas present. She thought her fate was sealed when Alpha Denzel left and a warrior was ready to execute her. Everyone was shocked when Alpha Denzel suddenly turned around. “Stop! The treacherous daughter of a late Alpha should not be killed. More suffering awaits her,” he declared. Valerie’s heart dropped when she saw his dark look, which was like a bottomless pit, as she blacked out from exhaustion. A few months down the line, there was a war among the Alphas as they began to lay claim to the two-times-rejected Luna. With her wolf dead, will the moon goddess be gracious to give her another wolf? And which Alpha would be able to melt her now cold heart?

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles.

Haunted by his dark past, he has vowed never to take a mate, yet the moment he lays eyes on Avery, everything changes. With a single word, Avery is bound to Cain—whether he wants it or not. In a world where betrayal runs deep, can Avery ever trust the alpha who might just be her worst enemy.
