The 1984

At my best friend's wedding, a girl lunged forward and caught the bouquet—only for it to slip from her hands and land squarely in my arms. My best friend, Lauren Walker, beamed at me. "Madison, looks like you're the next bride." The guests exchanged knowing glances and turned toward my boyfriend of eight years—Mason Ryder, the CEO of the Ryder Group. But he calmly plucked the bouquet from my hands and casually passed it to the girl standing beside me—his secretary, Natalie Carter. "She caught it first." He ruffled my hair, his voice gentle. "Be good. Give it back to Natalie for now. We'll wait for the next time." The spotlight—and the guests' attention—shifted with the bouquet, settling on Natalie. I looked at her startled yet shy expression, then rested a hand on my stomach and forced a bitter smile. Mason didn't know there wouldn't be a next time. Our eight-year promise had already come to an end, and we still hadn't taken the step into marriage. And I had already promised my parents, who were royalty, that next week, I would leave and return to Montelvia to inherit the family legacy.

At the age of ten, Charles loses everything—his memories, his family, and his identity. Found wandering alone after a mysterious incident, he is adopted by the compassionate Chris Lynch family, who raise him as their own. Gifted with extraordinary intelligence and determination, Charles rises from humble beginnings to become one of the youngest and most successful entrepreneurs in City A. Just as he prepares to enjoy the rewards of years of hard work, his world comes crashing down. Five years later, the global business landscape is dominated by a mysterious figure known only as The Alpha, an enigmatic billionaire whose influence extends across finance, technology, shipping, energy, and international politics. His true identity is unknown even to world leaders, yet his decisions shape markets and governments. Behind this carefully guarded persona is Charles, who transformed his greatest defeat into unimaginable power during the years everyone believed he had been broken. Amid the pursuit of justice, Charles finds himself torn between two women. Evelyn, the woman who first captured his heart and never truly stopped believing in his innocence, represents the life he lost. Amelia, the courageous woman who secretly gave birth to his son while he was imprisoned, represents the family and future he never knew he had. With powerful enemies closing in, hidden identities exposed, and a decades-old conspiracy threatening everyone he loves, Charles faces the greatest challenge of his life. To clear his name, protect his family, and uncover the truth about who he really is, he must risk losing everything once again. The Phantom Alpha is an epic tale of betrayal, resilience, redemption, love, and revenge, proving that while a person's identity can be stolen, their destiny can never truly be erased.

Eight years after running away pregnant, I found myself crossing paths with my ex-husband, Howard Quinn. His friends stared at me in surprise. "So, this is what you have become after leaving Howard? Reduced to a cleaner?" When I was six-months pregnant, I met with an accident. While I lay there, he was staying by the side of another woman, his so-called true love, in labor, never leaving her side. When I confronted him, in pieces, he looked at me bored and impatiently. "Don't be so jealous and petty. I have no time for you. As long as you behave, you'll always be Mrs. Quinn." I couldn't stand it any longer, so I ran away, staying away for eight long years. Now, those sharp eyes glared at me. "Have you had enough? If so, come home." What he didn't know was that my husband and daughter had already made dinner, waiting for me and my son to return home.

My mate’s childhood sweetheart was throwing a tantrum again, so Henry wanted to break our mate bond once more. Though I felt despair, I still looked calmly at him as I said, “This is the eighth time you’ve broken our bond.” His eyes were full of guilt and helplessness as he gently cupped my face, pleading softly. “Nicole, you know I have no choice. Alice threatened to take her own life with a silver dagger again. I grew up with her. She’s like a sister to me. I can’t just leave her alone. “My love, don’t worry. I swear, once I’ve cheered her up, we’ll immediately re-establish our mate bond.” I stayed silent. He’d made this promise to me countless times, so much that we had formed a mate bond and broken it eight times. To the werewolf pack, a mate bond was sacred. But in his eyes, it was nothing. “Please, my love.” As he took out the potion to sever our bond, I quietly clenched my fists. “Okay.” After all, there won’t be a next time.
