To pursue the goblin prince Cole Hutch, I devoted five years of my life. However, on the very day I'm about to marry him, dressed in a wedding gown, I overhear his cruel conversation about using me as a pawn to protect his true love Shia. My world shatters, and I'm soon ambushed and gravely wounded. When I wake, I remember everyone except Cole. So when the Heroic Alliance contacts me about an arranged marriage, I immediately book a portal back seven days later, ready to leave my past behind and forge a new destiny.

I was the Holy Maiden of the Beast World, foretold by the High Priest. I was also the future Beast Lady. Three of the best males were carefully selected to become my mates. However, I knew that they disliked me, even planning to kill me on our wedding night and hand my Holy Maiden position to my half-sister, whom they truly loved. Thus, when my father asked me to choose one of them to be my chief mate, I knelt on the sacred ground and drew lots, hoping the heavens could help me. Unexpectedly, I drew the clan's High Priest.

To save her vampire clan, Sonia, a vampire queen, surrendered to Stefan Ferrano, the man she once secretly loved. For five years, he locked her in a sunroom and tormented her daily, believing she was responsible for his sister's disappearance. When Sonia gave birth to their son Liam, Stefan married her former blood servant, Stella. He called their child a 'freak' and forced Sonia to watch him and Stella together. Stella delighted in torturing Sonia, making her dance undressed in the sun and even bathing in her blood. With only five days left to live before the ancestral vampire blood bond claims her, Sonia must decide how to spend her remaining time while protecting her son from Stefan's increasingly cruel games.

After the war between humans and shifters, an uneasy alliance was formed requiring daughters of human nobility to choose shifter mates. The first half-blood born from these unions would become ruler, ensuring lasting peace. As the eldest daughter of the Morrison family, I was first selected. Choosing wolf Alpha Calvin, I saw a terrifying vision on our engagement day: After failing to conceive for six months, Calvin would lock me in a cage, using me as a vessel for his pure bloodline. After giving birth to the prophesied hybrid, my sister Trina - consumed by jealousy over her own miserable marriage to the Elven Chief - would seduce Calvin and murder me brutally. Only Caleb, leader of the bear clan, demanded justice for my death. Awakening from this vision, I found Trina begging for Calvin, revealing he'd already marked her. To everyone's shock, I walked past them all to the unnoticed Caleb in the corner: 'Caleb Thorne, will you accept my proposal?'
