He rejects his mate and falls in love with a forbidden clan woman, with whom he mates. This is an insult to her. However, she did not punish them because she knew fate would punish them severely. True to her words, the wolf's chosen mate dies while giving birth to two stunning twin sisters. One of them was taken by the woman's clan. However, the wolf is successful in saving the elder one, "Olivia Hart". Instead of punishing the wolf and his mate, Moon Goddess chose to punish their innocent daughters. She decided to punish them in the most interesting way. She sees opportunity in them. An opportunity to fulfill an old promise while also granting her wishes. It is like killing three birds with one stone. Nonetheless, her selfish actions ruined some lives... ..................

*She wasn't looking for love - just snacks and a nap. But then he smiled...* ~True love? Unexpected. Emotional growth? Unwanted. Drama? Inevitable.~ Veronica D'Costa isn't exactly the main character type just - a regular teen: emotionally avoidant, chronically sarcastic, and fully committed to winging her way through life, with her loyal (and mildly chaotic) friend group. One night. One betrayal. That changed everything. Now Veronica's pretending, deflecting, and power-napping her way through emotions. But when a certain boy - golden-eyed, infuriatingly kind, and way too observant - starts asking the right questions, she'll have to do the one thing she's avoided all year: feel. Because surviving senior year means more than just acing math or mastering beer pong - it means facing what broke her, before she lets it define her. She's growing up. She's falling in love. And she might just be the main character after all. Messy, meaningful, and mildly chaotic - this is the year everything changes. Even her. P.S.- This isn't a fairy tale. It's a slightly sarcastic coming-of-age crisis.

I gave my heart to the one person I knew would break it. And still, I whispered, "I love you." He didn't say it back-but I saw it in his eyes, felt it in his kiss. He just didn't know how to hold something fragile without breaking it. "I love you... and I'm sorry you don't know what to do with that." *** Jordan and Alisha were just two kids in a group home in Mumbai-both carrying invisible scars, both learning too young what it meant to lose, bound together by a fleeting yet powerful bond. They were torn apart too soon, but the connection they shared lingered- etched in memory, in silence, in everything unsaid. Alisha was the kind of girl who craved magic- someone who moved through life with a hopeful heart, a smile that refused to fade, and a laugh that healed even the deepest wounds. Jordan built his life around cold ambition. A storm hardened by pain, shaped by survival, he kept his walls high and his heart hidden. Success was his armour. Control was his safety net. But when Alisha walked back into his life, she brought with her everything he didn't know he needed. If he was a storm, she was the rainbow that followed the chaos. It only took a moment; one night, one impulsive decision, one kiss to invent the future. **A story of lost time, found family, and the kind of love that rebuilds what the world tried to break.**
