When Prisca enters the school and catches the royal family’s eyes, the buried secrets surface, awakens Etheline's lost memory and bloodline. Finally, the whole family reunites in an unexpected way.

At her daughter Poppy's graduation, Nora watches her call "Dad" three times-only to be met
with an empty chair.
A few hours later, Nora spots her husband, Elliot, at the mall celebrating the birthday of Maisie,
the daughter of college-the ex-wife he never seemed to get over. The same man who is always
too busy for his own family, and who claims he's no good with kids, is tying another little girl's
shoes, carrying her on his shoulders, and treating her with the patience of a perfect father.
Nora soon realizes this wasn't just one missed event. For eleven years, the more capable and
understanding she became, the easier it was for Elliot to leave the family-and their daughter—
in her hands, while giving his most attentive and dependable side to people who seemed to
"need" him more.
This time, Nora stops making excuses for him. She files for divorce.
During the ninety-day legal waiting period, Elliot is forced to learn what it really means to be a
father, while Nora begins reclaiming the life she put on hold for their marriage.
But by the time Elliot finally becomes the dad Poppy has always waited for, is it already too late
for him to become the husband Nora needed?
On the fifth day after I get born into this world, my biological mother chooses to abandon me. But I'm not sure what she's thinking when she's picking out the location, for she actually abandons me at the entrance of the Bianco family. When the beautiful women of the family notice me, they are quick to frown. "Why don't we take him in?" Since then, I have 109 sisters in my family. At home, I'm the bratty ruler among my sisters. In order not to cause them any trouble, I've been leading a normal life for more than a dozen years. That is, until I've encountered bullying in high school. Giovanni Rossi, a rich student, has me cornered in the washroom with his lackeys flanking him. Not only do they dump cold water on me and tear my clothes off me, but they also use their phones to take pictures of my face. "What are you glaring at, huh? You're just a low-income student, so why are you still putting on airs around us? As if a piece of trash like you can ever get into college!" But since the beating I've received is far too brutal, so I holler at the top of my lungs as I yank Giovanni and jump off the third floor with him. When I wake up, Marcella Greco, the school's nurse, berates me angrily. "All Giovanni did is beat you up, and yet you're already planning to kill him, huh? Shouldn't you be reflecting on yourself when others scold and lay a finger on you? How dare you plot revenge against him instead! "I want you to summon your guardian here right away! If you can't do that by today, you can forget about leaving!" All of my hair stands on end as soon as I hear the command. Weakly, I ask, "Are you sure you want to meet my guardians, Ms. Greco?"

At Northwood Lycan Academy, I’m a Beta. One of the rare few without a fated mate. But I’ve never felt less than. I have raw strength. I have ambition that no one can match. I’m getting into the Lycan Alliance on my own damn merit. No one knows I already have a secret mate online. Alpha_X. The man I’ve never met. The man who flirts with me through the screen every night. [My Moon, I can’t control how much my wolf and I crave you.] [I want to pin you down and show you how hard I am for you.] My own wolf always howls for him. Even without meeting, I’ve already chosen him. He is my mate. My plan is to meet him after I get into the Alliance. I’ll kiss him and tell him my wolf craves him too. But just before graduation, Alpha_X sent me a photo. He was shirtless. Sweat drenched the rippling mountains of his back muscles. Savage scars only added to his wildness. But then my eyes scanned past him. To a weapon rack behind him. To an ancient sigil. My blood froze. Two silver wolf fangs crossed under a blood-red moon. The crest of the Bloodmoon Core. The most elite, most ancient, and most exclusive group at Northwood. Only the purest of purebloods can get in. I froze. My mind went blank. What kind of sick joke is this? The Alpha I’ve been talking to for a year… the one who wants to be my "chosen mate"… is someone right here?
