Caught between the ruthless competition and her own desire to return home to care for her sick mother, Elara is faced with an impossible choice. To defy the Baroness could cost her life, but to play the game could ruin everything she holds dear. In a world where deception, betrayal, and monstrous beasts lurk around every corner, Elara must decide: Will she bow to the power that holds her captive, or will she risk everything to escape, uncover the hidden truths, and confront the dark forces threatening the kingdom?

Maya’s senior year feels like one long blur, a cycle of classes, routines, and endless motivational posters that do nothing to change the fact that everything feels… off. But there’s one thing that matters—the "Last Day Club." What started as a joke between Maya and her best friend, Elena, has turned into an after-school ritual. The club is the one place where they can talk about what they'd do if tomorrow was really their last day. It’s their escape, a safe spot where nothing is too serious, and the world outside doesn’t matter. When the group meets one night at Riley’s house, Elena is mysteriously absent. At first, it’s brushed off—Elena’s always busy or late. But as the hours pass and there’s still no sign of her, Maya starts to feel something isn’t right. She can’t shake the feeling that Elena’s disappearance isn’t just some random thing. And when things take a darker turn, Maya and the rest of the group are forced to confront secrets they’ve been avoiding, realizing that the Last Day Club might not be just a game after all. What started as a way to kill time and dream up outrageous “last-day” scenarios is about to become something much more dangerous—and much more real. Because when the truth finally comes out, none of them will be ready for what happens next.

"It's okay to love me." "No, I don't!" "Because I love you too." "You misunderstood!" Jua Gu, panting, gazed at the lunatic. "Why does every single protagonist think I love them?!"

Hemera is rejected by her one true love Crane. After that, she finds out a big truth which the Crescent moon pack has been hiding all this while and she is determined to find out the truth at any cost. Even if it means marrying a complete stranger, Elpis Kane, alpha of blood moon pack. “You never know. I might be of help.” I looked at him and inhale. He is right. he might know him. Besides there is no harm in trying. He will not actually figure out what I want to do. He looked at him with a little smile and goodness, it was so convincing. “I am looking for a certain alpha. I want him to ask me for a dance.” I spoke. I saw his eyebrows rise with doubt and surprise. He put his hand behind him. “Why? if I may ask” “It’s complicated.” “Try me.” I looked at him and he smiled. Well, what do I have to lose? “Well, he is the only one who can help me find the people I am looking for. I heard he is the most powerful alpha and is well gifted and connected. So, I need him.” Said to him. For some reason I trusted this person even if I should not. But he seems calm and powerful. Not one to talk much but one to do a lot. “So, you are going to use him?” “Don’t make sound bad if not I will feel bad.” He laughed making me laugh as well. “Besides, I am not just going to use him. I will trade something in return.” “Hmm.” He nodded with a smile. Goddess what is wrong with me? I should be looking for Elpis not talking to this guy I haven’t even heard of. “So, what are you doing here? You are meant to be downstairs dancing with him” he smiled at me. “I know that.” I said and rolled my eyes. “I looked for me everywhere but I couldn’t find him. I was told he was going to me that this party that is why I bothered to come.” I told him. I was disappointed. “And what might be this might alpha’s name?” he asked me. I was a little bit hesitant. “You never know. I might just be the angel that will send you to him.” I wasn’t sure if I should tell him. But then I thought about it, he was right. What if he knew him or what if I could reach him through him? Besides I couldn’t sense anything bad about him and my senses are never wrong. “Elpis Kane.” I told him, “Elpis Kane. Alpha of blood moon pack.” I told him. The smile on his face immediately went away. He kept on nodding and that gave me some kind of hope that maybe he knows him personally. But he dashed my hopes. All he said was “Hmm” and I smiled. I just grunted and went downstairs. I went down the stairs thinking. I was already two steps down to the ballroom when I felt someone hold my hand. I turn and I saw the same man. This time he had his mask on. “A dance you want? A dance you will get wolf.” He said with a small smile.
