Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride... When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ GENRES: General Fiction · Literary Fiction · Contemporary · New Adult ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story is a work of imagination, entirely original and fictional.

"Everyone owns a dark side, hidden from the world" Moon Goddess Moon Goddess is known as the kindest deity and the protector of wolves. She imbued wolves with her soul and power. She adores all wolves, regardless of their rank. She gave every wolf in the world a mate. Mates are a wolf's destiny. The Moon Goddess blessed each wolf with a mate because a mate held a piece of their soul. A mate keeps a wolf calm and composed. Only a mate can control the beast of a werewolf. Without a mate, a wolf can lose his sanity and transform into the human form of a werewolf. But what if a wolf decides to oppose her? 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 looks at the devil and smiles, daring me to fall into the one trap I swore I'd never believe in- Love. And God help me... I'm already falling. Erika Carter He thinks he owns me. He thinks money, fear, and power can cage a woman like me. But Sebastian King is about to learn one brutal truth- Two can play this game. If he wants me, he can have me.
