Some beings are born into the world. Others endure it. Celeste walks through cities that quietly make space for her, through centuries that refuse to forget her. She carries a history no one dares to ask about and a presence that unsettles even silence. This is a story of distance and survival, of what remains when belonging is denied and memory becomes a burden. A tale where despair is not an end, but a companion, and where what is hidden may matter far more than what is revealed.

On my third wedding anniversary, my husband poisoned me. As I lay dying on the cold restaurant floor, I watched him smile beside my step-sister his mistress since before our wedding day. My marriage was a lie. My love was a tool. And my death was carefully planned. I thought dying would finally set me free. Instead, I woke up three years in the past one week before I married the man who killed me. This time, I won’t be the obedient wife who walks blindly into her own grave. I’ll cancel the wedding. Expose their betrayal. And marry the one man my ex-fiancé fears the most. Adrian Blackwood. The Devil CEO. A ruthless billionaire with no mercy for his enemies. I walked into his office with a deal: “Marry me. Help me destroy Ethan Cole and I’ll give you everything you need to take him down.” I expected a cold contract marriage. What I didn’t expect… was the way he looked at me like I already belonged to him. “You’re under my protection now, Sophia,” he said calmly. “And I never let go of what’s mine.” Revenge was supposed to be simple. Love was never part of the plan. But falling for the Devil may be far more dangerous than the man who murdered me. Because Adrian Blackwood doesn’t play games. And once he chooses something he keeps it. Forever. In my first life, I died for love. In this life, I’ll make them all pay.

TRIGGER WARNING: This story contains dark themes, emotional and physical abuse, trauma, betrayal, humiliation, and mature content. However, it also delivers humor, sharp sarcasm, a doting (and dangerous) mate, and chaotic chemistry between the leads. ★★ Synopsis ★★ They called her wolf-less. A disgrace. A curse. The girl blamed for her brother’s death. The unwanted twin. The shame her pack never stopped punishing. For seventeen years, Isabella endured cruelty from everyone who should have protected her—her Alpha, her pack, even her own blood. Beaten down. Enslaved. Ignored. Yet she never broke. Until the night her first heat dragged her into a forest she was never meant to enter. That night, she met Lucain. A king who had been sleeping for centuries. Cold. Ruthless. Starved. A ruler who rejected fate, bonds, and the Moon Goddess herself. He took her blood to survive. He meant to kill her afterward. Instead, he marked her. A bond never meant to exist. A mate never meant to live. A king never meant to awaken. The mark ignites a secret no one was meant to uncover—one that places Isabella at the center of power, prophecy, and bloodshed. Now the packs want her dead. The Elders want to use her. And enemies far older than wolves are watching. Lucain has spent his existence proving he cannot be owned. No bond. No mate.No weakness. Isabella has spent her life learning how to survive. Forced together by fate and hunted by the world, they face an impossible choice. Bow to destiny and submit to the bond… Or burn down everything that ever tried to control them. Because when fate tightens its grip, the real question isn’t whether the bond can be rejected...

In the shadowed halls of the demon realm, power is law—and love is weakness. Seris Vale, a human woman burdened by her family’s debts and haunted by abandonment, finds herself sold into a marriage she did not choose. Bound by an ancient, sentient contract, she is forced to wed Malrik Azrael, the immortal Demon King—feared by all and trusted by none. The contract is merciless. It enforces obedience, punishes deception, and reacts violently to emotional dishonesty. Yet it also responds to genuine feeling, and Seris’s resilience, intelligence, and refusal to beg or submit begin to challenge the immutable rules of the demon realm. Malrik, scarred by betrayal and ruled by fear, is equally unprepared. He does not seek love, but Seris’s presence—the quiet defiance in her eyes, the calculated restraint in her words—ignites a force even the contract cannot control. Together, they navigate treacherous political intrigue, assassination attempts, and ancient magic that will test their survival and sanity. As the contract awakens powers neither fully understands, Seris and Malrik are forced to confront what they truly desire. Love becomes both a weapon and a vulnerability, and only through choice—not obligation—can they hope to survive.
