My ex publicly denied our relationship, called me delusional, and kissed another girl in front of the entire campus. Overnight, I became the joke… the pathetic girl who couldn’t take a hint. So I kissed the one man Logan hates most. Cassian Leonidas Alexandris. His rival hockey captain, campus menace and the last person I should trust. When photos of me leaving his apartment send the internet into a frenzy, I propose a deal: fake date him and help repair both our reputations. It should have been simple. Except fake kisses start feeling real and my jerk ex suddenly wants me back. And the terrifying hockey captain who’s supposed to be pretending keeps looking at me like he’s already won. The problem? Cassian Alexandris has never lost a fight. And I’m starting to think he has no intention of losing me either.

Aurelia had always hated the Thorne twins, and it was no secret. She hated the way they looked like she mattered only to pull the step siblings card… she hated the way they always had their stupid signature smirk on their faces whenever they pulled her leg… hated the way they knew how to pull the right strings to get her and most importantly hated the way, they acted like they weren’t watching that day, watching her as she climaxed alongside them. So no, she definitely didn’t watch them when they weren't looking and absolutely didn’t care who they were smiling at when it wasn’t her. Their friendly step- siblings rivalry had ended on her send off party and 20 year old birthday when she had confronted them and ended up in their bed… only to wake up to their leaked tape. They however did nothing but watch as her dignity was rubbed all over the ground. Five years later, she had moved on and built a perfect life with her 4 year old baby girl and her best friend from back home. Life was perfect until his proposal was interrupted by the Thorne brothers while she was on their cruise ship sailing to the city of her dreams to her dream vacation. It all happened in the blink of an eye and she had woken up to see that their ship was floating in the horizon, leaving them on an abandoned island with nothing but their clothes. Old hatreds ignite. Old secrets surface. And this time the twins aren’t just watching in secret like they had all these years. They’re here to finish what they started… this time they have no plan to let her GO…

Zyrielle's POV I was so naive when I met Pierce and Eve, they were visiting my father to plead for his support. That night, I fell in love with him, who wouldn't after he had waited two more days to comfort me and as he was leaving, he promised to one day save me from my monster of a father. At twelve, just after my failed attempt to commit suicide, they had once again comforted me after reprimanding me for trying to take my life before repeating their promise to save me even if it meant asking my father to marry me off to Pierce. Three years after that, on my birthday, Moonstone was attacked by the Beast of the North… Pierce had stopped my father's carriage with my help and killed him before running off with me. The next day, I was his wife and Eve’s Co-Wife, and for the first time in fifteen years, I was happy. But that happiness didn't last for long, as the worst mistake of my life was saying yes to being a part of his harem. If I hadn't, maybe I would have had a better life because once Pierce realized I couldn't give birth for him, he alongside Eve who had been so welcoming, changed for the worst. “Where is she?” I could hear Eve thunder while searching for me. After my marriage to the couple, it was blissful for a while before the storm, they seemed determined to get me pregnant and when it failed, they switched on me. If I knew better, I would have held said, there was something they needed from my child but I was nothing. “That stupid girl just can't listen to simple instructions huh?” She continued, banging doors until she got to mine and like a coward, I buried my head under the sheets praying she passed by but my door was flung open. I could almost see the sneer on her face when she removed the covers off my body. If I laid there calm and pretended to be sleepy, just maybe she would leave me alone. But I was just so wrong… her slap landed on my face forcing me up in a matter of seconds. We weren't alone, behind her were her minions and a few other passerbys that had stopped to watch, of course I was a spectacle. In a matter of years, I had gone from being their baby to being the mistress with a secret mission to ruin their marriage. “Eve?” I asked, shocked with my hand still clutching my stinging cheeks. With her hands folded, she replied sharply, eyeing me up, “It's Luna to you, you lazy twat!” “I’m sorry, Luna, what did I do this time?” I asked, my voice shaking with my head lowered down in surrender. “I had specifically asked you specifically to wash a few of my dresses and underwear yourself, and you disobeyed me and gave it to the maids!” Eve carelessly replied, pointing her fingers at my face. I still stood there, using every atom of restraint in me not to strangle her up right here and now. “Those things had your blood on them, and you threw them on my face…I tried but I couldn’t, I’m your co-wife, Luna” I cried out almost pitifully. And I heard the gasps… I couldn't remember the last time I had spoken back to her, after all she was the true Luna and I was just some mistress. Whispers slowly followed suit. The glaring shock on her face that she wasn’t expecting my reply… not when I had taken all her insults and disrespect quietly. Where was the Eve that had kissed me while covering my face from seeing our husband, slice my father's head? My gaze drifted to everyone in the room, it was no secret how they saw me… a witch, barren, daughter of the devil… Pierce mistress. Goddess! I wished I had known better, being fifteen wasn't an excuse… if only my six year old crying figure hadn't leaned into Pierce's warmth when he made his attempts. “Oh please, don't start growing some dignity now… What good are you, then, if not a maid, huh, Zyrielle?” She threw back and everyone burst into laughter. “I’m nothing yet you and your husband just couldn’t wait to have me!” I wanted to add that they had been the one to kill my father to do so but I choose not to. “You have no right to talk to your Luna in such a manner,” I heard one of her minions say and she didn't stop there, “At least she was able to give the Alpha, her husband a child..” “Unlike you, You are just as useless as you are worthless…even after saving you from that monster, you can't even be a little grateful.” another popped in. That's right… I wish the fifteen year old me had refused Pierce advances… had I known all they wanted was a child because of my father's lineage then I would have run when I still had the chance. I had to admit that her words had cut deep, and even after I'd received so many insults from everyone including my husband, I'd expected to be used to it by now, but I wasn't. It hurts every single time. “Thank you!” I quietly said and turned to walk out, before I would do something I'd regret and just as I walked into the passage, Eve came for me. In my defense, I pushed her back and watched as she let out a scream ev
