Jabal and Jasmine are hybrid twins, born by a werewolf-witch parent. On the night of their birth, it was said that they've been born with special powers, but can only manifest when they clock eighteen. A few days to their fifth birthday, war broke out in their park, leading to their father and mother's death. They were saved by their father's friend, who flee to the human territory. He hid the truth from them and trained them as humans. Several years have passed and the twins are now eighteen. They began to manifest strange powers, which made them different from their mates and made them withdraw from the rest. They ran from home in search of the truth about their real identity. The truth can change their lives and also bring them into a realm of superpower, magic, witchcraft, and mystery.

For seven years, I poured my passion, my dreams, and every spare cent into our future, believing Jackson and I were building something real. Then, his engagement party to socialite Blair Kennedy became front-page news, exposing the truth about the "sentimental" cubic zirconia ring he’d given me. The ultimate betrayal struck when my beloved grandmother, my only family, desperately needed a $100,000 surgery, and Jackson, the man I trusted with my life savings, coldly refused to release a dime of *my* money. "Old people get sick," he scoffed, before having me forcibly removed from a fancy restaurant, publicly shaming me as a gold-digger. He meticulously drained my hard-earned savings, funnelling it into Blair’s lavish diamond, while forcing me to sign IOUs for groceries and calling it “financial discipline.” My grandmother died shortly after, her fragile heart unable to bear the shock of his engagement news. How could the man I loved for seven years, who built his very future on *my* sacrifices, dismiss my grandmother’s life with such casual cruelty? The sheer audacity of his calculated lies, his emotional and financial manipulation, left me shattered, broken, yet ignited a cold, hard fury. But I am Emily, a baker, and I decided their game was irrevocably over. I wasn't just leaving; I was rebuilding a new life a thousand miles away, ready to rise, a sweet empire of defiance forged from the ashes of his betrayal.

East Lynne by Mrs. Henry Wood

My ten-year marriage to Jordan was over. I went back to our old college campus to dig up the time capsule we buried, ready to erase every memory of the man who broke me. But inside, an old Nokia phone suddenly rang. The voice on the other end was bright, hopeful, and unmistakably my own from ten years ago. "Are we married to Jordan? Are we happy?" she chirped. I had to tell her the brutal truth. "We're getting divorced." I told her how he cheated with his assistant, Bristol. I told her how, in the car crash that cost us our baby, his first instinct was to shield her, not his pregnant wife. Her heartbroken sobs echoed the pain I no longer had the strength to feel. The final humiliation came when he forced me to apologize to Bristol after she faked a suicide attempt on a cliff. He chose her, again and again, destroying the woman I used to be. "I won't marry him," my past self finally said, her voice firm through the phone. "I'm taking the scholarship to London." As she made the choice that would erase my entire life with him, my vision faded to black.

Classic adventure novel. According to Wikipedia: "Edward Sylvester Ellis (April 11, 1840 – June 20, 1916) was an American author who was born in Ohio and died at Cliff Island, Maine. Ellis was a teacher, school administrator, and journalist, but his most notable work was that that he performed as author of hundreds of dime novels that he produced under his name and a number of noms de plume. Notable works by Ellis include The Huge Hunter, or the Steam Man of the Prairies and Seth Jones, or the Captives of the Frontier. Internationally, Edward S. Ellis is probably best known for his Deerhunter novels widely read by young boys up to the 1950s (together with works by James Fenimore Cooper and Karl May). In the mid-1880s, after a fiction-writing career of some thirty years, Ellis eventually turned his pen to more serious works of biography, history, and persuasive writing."

I am an Omega doctor, secretly kept as a pliant plaything by the Alpha King, Harden Clark. I endured the humiliation of the shadows, watching him parade around with his powerful Alpha bride-to-be, just to survive in this carnivorous Pack. When he left town for a three-month mission, I thought I finally had room to breathe. But his sister leaked a venomous post on our hospital's internal forum, exposing my deepest secret. The post painted me as a conniving Omega who seduced the Alpha King and was now preying on my newest patient, a high-ranking Beta warrior named Dawson Abbott. Suddenly, I was the target of everyone's disgust. A violent mob of Rogues stormed the hospital lobby, surrounding me, hurling obscenities and screaming that I was a shameless disgrace to our kind. Harden had promised his assistant would ensure I wasn't harassed, yet here I was, fed to the wolves by his own family. He always protected his precious reputation, never my dignity. Why should I keep suffering in silence for a man who only saw me as a cheap secret? Looking at the hateful crowd, my patience completely vanished, and I decided I was done hiding. Just as I was about to publicly admit the truth, Dawson pushed through the mob in his wheelchair. His icy gray eyes swept the terrified Rogues before locking onto me. "Doctor," he commanded, his voice echoing in the silent lobby. "You're pushing my wheelchair. We're going for a walk."

The Branding Needle, or The Monastery of Charolles by Eugène Sue

In the heart of a forest where the wild creatures roam, there exists a clan of werewolves, each bound by the ancient laws of their kind. Among them is a young female werewolf, Aria, who is the embodiment of strength and grace, though she is unaware of her true power. Orphaned at a young age and taken in by her father's new wife, Aria's life has been one of suffering. Her stepmother, Selene, and her stepsister, Lila, have made it their mission to belittle and abuse her, treating her as nothing more than a servant in their lavish home. But Aria's suffering runs deeper than mere cruelty. Betrayal has poisoned the very roots of her trust. Her best friend, Zara, whom she has confided in and loved as a sister, has turned against her in the most painful way imaginable. Zara's betrayal has shattered Aria's heart and left her isolated from everyone she once cared for. The story takes a turn when Aria discovers that her stepsister, Lila, is set to marry Dante, a man whom everyone believes is weak and poor. Lila is ecstatic, thinking she has won the favor of the most powerful man in the region. However, what no one knows is that Dante's true identity is far more dangerous and powerful than anyone could ever imagine. He is not the poor, helpless man he seems to be but rather a formidable figure with immense wealth and influence, capable of changing the fate of all who dare to cross him. What's worse, Aria's stepmother, Selene, has her own plans for the marriage. Instead of Lila, Selene wants Aria to marry Dante. With this marriage, she believes she can secure her own position of power and wealth. But what Selene doesn't understand is that Aria is not a pawn to be manipulated. As Aria's journey unfolds, she uncovers hidden truths about her lineage, her powers, and the betrayal that runs deeper than she could have ever imagined. With the help of unlikely allies, Aria must navigate the treacherous politics of the werewolf world, reclaim her power, and confront the darkest truths of her life. Will she rise above her suffering and take control of her destiny, or will she fall victim to the machinations of those who wish to control her? The Silver Moon's Betrayal is a tale of power, love, vengeance, and self-discovery, where the stakes are as high as the full moon that rises over the forest. Aria must choose between love and duty, between the family that has betrayed her and the man who could either save or destroy her. Will the moon's light shine on her path to redemption, or will darkness consume her?
