"The kiss escalated, turning fierce—his free arm banding around my waist, hauling me against his hard chest. I kissed him back despite myself, fingers tangling in his hair, pulling as much as clinging. Heat built between us, the bond singing, my omega side reveling in the connection even as my mind railed against it. I hated how good it felt, how his touch ignited me like nothing else." *** Naomi Voss has spent three years hiding from the one man fate destined for her. Once childhood friends, she and Elias Kingsley were bound by the mate bond—until Naomi discovered a devastating secret connected to her father and fled before Elias could uncover the truth. Now fate cruelly drags them back together when Naomi unknowingly ends up in Elias’s bed during his dangerous Alpha rut. Elias is no longer the boy she remembers. He’s become a powerful S-tier Alpha feared across the city—cold, dominant, and consumed by betrayal after Naomi vanished without explanation. As misunderstandings, family conspiracies, and ruthless enemies close in around them, Naomi becomes trapped in a dangerous contract that binds her to the man she both fears and longs for. But beneath Elias’s cruelty lies a possessive obsession neither of them can escape.

"For a second, I just watched her, my own heart racing unexpectedly. Her face was flushed, her lips soft and inviting, and I could see the nervousness in the way she tensed under my touch. But she wasn't pulling away. I leaned in slowly, my gaze fixed on her rosy lips. My pulse quickened as I closed the distance between us, pressing my lips gently against hers. Her breath hitched in surprise, but she didn't move away. Instead, she relaxed into the kiss, her lips soft and warm against mine." *** Sophie became limp after an accident while saving an old grandma. Her parents, who resented her, laughed and said, "No one will marry a limping girl. Marry an old man and bring us the dowry money!" She thought her life was useless now. Until, the grandma's handsome grandson appeared with a shocking marriage proposal: "Marry me and I'll help you with your leg surgery!" She was stunned. "But I'm just a poor girl with a limp leg… why would you marry me?” His lips curled up into a smirk. "At least, I'll have a silly girl as my wife." Blinded by desperation and hope, Sophie agreed. Only later did she discover her new husband's true identity. Dominic William, London's most elusive billionaire, notorious for his icy heart and disdain for women.

"The kiss was soft at first, like an apology. Then deeper—like a promise. Her fingers clutched his shirt as the waves crashed behind them, the sound like nature itself applauding. When they broke apart, both breathless, he whispered, 'You taste like forgiveness.' She laughed through her tears. 'You taste like trouble.' 'Then we're perfect,' he murmured, pulling her closer again." *** Ophelia gave her heart to Alexander, only to watch him rip it apart. Betrayed, accused of crimes she never committed, and abandoned for another woman, she lost everything-her husband, her child, her family's legacy. Then, when she thought the pain couldn't cut deeper, death took her, leaving behind nothing but regret and seething hatred. But fate grants her a second chance. Reborn years before her downfall, Ophelia is no longer the naive woman who once begged for love. This time, she won't be a victim. She will take back her family's company, expose Wren's deceit, and ensure Alexander Harvey suffers as she did. However, something is different. The cold, ruthless man she once loved is.kind. Patient. Protective. The husband who once tossed her aside now gazes at her with devotion, as if she is his entire world. Is it all another cruel trick? Or did fate not just rewind time-but rewrite their destiny? Ophelia has vowed to never love him again. But what if, in this life, Alexander is the one chasing her?
