11

Behind every great Queen stands no one; something Miliani Hwang learned from the early age of ten after she was forced to take over the Hwang Family Mafia when her parents died in a murder-suicide. In light of their tragic end, she built herself up from the ground for 11 years, trusting no man to stand behind or even beside her. The sheer sound of her name was enough to have even the toughest men on their knees and despite not ever taking a life with her own hands, everyone in the crime world knew they should never cross The Great Miliani Hwang. It doesn't surprise her when she is betrayed on her 21st birthday but she never expected her own blood to be the mastermind. She flees to Sicily with the help of the Ravello Crime Family, where she learns many secrets about her lineage and starts falling for the smug Vincenzo Ravello. Now a disgraced mob boss with nothing but her name and rage a lingering question lingered in the back of her mind; who was she now if not The Great Miliani Hwang? Vincenzo Ravello, the eldest son of the Ravello Crime Family knew all too well about the dangers that come with his title as heir to the Cosa Nostra. He's spent the past few years of his life reminding his enemies time and time again that he wasn't a man they wanted to mess with. His heart was made of stone and women, to him were nothing more than playthings until her. He would do anything for her. Every Queen needs a King to avenge her and Miliani must learn to trust her heart to stand beside hers because he will burn the whole world until all her enemies bow at her feet.

Phoenix is the president of the Wolf's blood Motorcycle club, but he has another name . Well, no one but his vice president. That don’t know that his true name is Sephiroth Demogorgon nor that he’s a Prince of the werewolf’s east packs. He’s supposed to be next in line to be king, but he refuses to be so because he feels he’ll be the same as his father. When he was 16 years old, he ran away to escape the future that scared that he’ll become if he stayed. That was till the day that he runs into a witch name Nakesha Hakambir who turned out to be his mate and his world turns upside down. Nakesha Hakambir is a young witch that was left to the coven of her mother’s coven when she was only 6 years old and was treated like a slave to them. She was beaten and many times starved when she didn’t do all that was needed to be done in the coven house. When she turned 11 years old, she was made to wear a ring cuff onto her left ear to be told it was for her own good because her father had a split personality that led to his downfall. Nakesha had a life where she doesn’t trust anyone, nor does she believe those who tells her that they care about her does. She’s to the point that she believes that sooner or later everyone will leave her. Will Sephiroth be able to show her that not everyone will leave her or will his own demons hurt her more. Please first read "Betrayed by my mate" and "The secret wolf" because this story is the third in the series.

Run, Run, RUN. Don’t stop. The night was falling and like the creatures of the day, I needed to hide. My heart is thundering in my chest, echoing the sounds of the war that rage from the fields of my once loved home. That was before the coven came. Surprising us and taking my home and pack. The attack happened so quickly that no one was ready. We had no warning and after hours of waiting I was found. I had to run. Don't stop running. “CRACK” the current of magic shoots by and hits the tree to my left, my bare feet crunching the earth hard and fast. My small heart fluttering faster than a hummingbird's wings, my once sparkling beautiful dress is no more. It’s tattered, dirty, and torn. The edges burnt to a crisp and coated in blood from bodies of the battlefield that I raced away from. “Come here little wolfie,” a harsh raspy voice calls out cutting through the trees I hide quickly behind a tree to take cover to breathe, “I just want a little chat!” He calls singsong like, taunting me. He wants to find me to kill me. Ducking further behind my tree I hold my breath, my young body shaking with so much force my bones ache. Holding my breath and closing my eyes hoping for safety that surely won’t come. At only 11 years of age, I can’t fight this grown warlock... he will surely kill me like he did my parents... “Wolfie princess, where are you?” He mimics the rhythm of a child’s tune, as if I’d listen. Closing my eyes tighter I don’t want to die. I’m too young. My mind is racing, and my hearts bound t....

Alexander Romano. Istrikto, dominante, at walang puso. Sa kabila ng ilan sa mga negative na ugali nito, marami padin ang nahuhumaling sa lalaki. Bakit ba naman hindi, bukod sa pagiging panganay na anak at taga pag mana ng Romano Corp. (isa sa pinaka malaki at kilalang kumpanya sa bansa), si Alexander ay marami na ding napatunayan sa sarili niya. Graduate ng Magna Cum Laude sa kursong BS Management Engineering at nakakuha ng maraming awards sa iba't ibang sports ng University na pinasukan, tulad ng swimming, lawn tennis at marami pang iba. May tangkad na 5'11, makakapal na kilay, mga matang kulay kape na tagos hanggang kaluluwa kung tumingin, ilong na makipot at matangos, at mga labing maninipis na ni minsan ata ay hindi dinapuan ng ngiti ngunit lalong bumagay sa pangahan nitong muka na nagbibigay ng 'mysterious' effect sa pagkatao nito. Maraming kababaihan ang nahuhumaling dito at inggit naman sa kalalakihan. Mga bagay na hindi alintana ng binata ngunit wala naman siyang pakielam sa mga opinyon at nararamdaman nito. Namumukod tanging si Jessica Pantaleon lang ang nakakakausap ng maayos dito bukod sa pamilya niya. Si Jessica ang kababata at bestfriend na din ni Alexander. Alam nito lahat ng pinagdaanan ng binata sa unang babaeng minahal na si Mara, kaya siya lang din ang nakakaintindi sa binata. Boyish pero maganda at sexy si Jessica. Natural na straight at itim ang kanyang buhok na hanggang bewang. Bagay sa balingkinitan na katawan, morenang kutis at 5'6 na height niya. NBSB siya at hindi din nagpakita ng interes sa mga nagtangkang manligaw dito. Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, nagising nalang si Jessica sa tabi ni Alexander. Pareho silang walang suot na damit. Paano nalang ang mangyayari sa kanila lalo na ngayong bumalik na si Mara sa buhay ni Alexander?

내 친구가 거금을 들여 내 뱃속의 아이에게 행운을 가져다줄 복주머니를 구해주었다. 나는 그저 고마운 마음으로, 그 복주머니를 밤낮으로 베개 밑에 두고 자곤 했다. 그리고 한 달 후, 나는 아들을 낳았다. 가족 모두가 모인 자리에서, 내 친구는 갑자기 친자 확인서를 들고 찾아와 무릎을 꿇었다. “아빠, 엄마! 제가 진짜 두 분의 친딸이에요! 임수정의 친엄마가 병원에서 우리를 바꿔치기했어요! 그리고 이 아이는 민혁 씨의 아이가 아니에요. 임수정이 밖에서 다른 남자와 몸을 섞어서 임신한 아이예요! 제 뱃속의 아이야말로 민혁 씨의 진짜 아이예요!” 내 부모님은 처음에 믿을 수 없다는 듯이 그녀를 바라보았다. 그러나 친자 확인서를 들여다본 순간, 그들의 표정이 변했다. 결국 그들은 실망감과 분노가 섞인 표정으로 나를 집에서 내쫓았다. 시댁과 주민혁도 나를 믿어주지 않았다. 그들은 내가 거짓말을 한 거라고 확신했기에, 나는 결국 그에게서 이혼을 당했다. 11월의 눈이 내리던 날, 나는 돈 한 푼 없이 거리에 서 있었다. 아이를 품에 안고, 길거리에 웅크려 앉아 아이에게 젖을 먹이고 있을 때, 길거리를 떠도는 노숙자가 나를 발견했다. 그는 내 아이를 강제로 빼앗아갔고, 나는 그 자리에서 극심한 고통을 느끼며 모욕을 당했다. 그리고, 그렇게 나는 죽음을 맞이했다. 죽은 뒤, 나는 모든 것이 내 친구의 음모였다는 것을 알게 되었다. 그녀는 나와 인생을 완전히 바꾸기 위해, 내게 복주머니를 주었던 것이다. 다시 눈을 뜬 나는 친구가 복주머니를 주었던 그날로 돌아갔다. 그러나 나는 이번에도 복주머니를 베개 밑에 두고 잤다.
