23 Sisters

Celeste knew both happiness and sadness, but she had never lost hope, until the time when she lost her dad and her world came crashing down. What was the point of hoping and wishing, when everything she wished for would slip away right from her hands, like water running down her fingers? Pain and depression in itself are unbearable, but what would happen to a person if they have to deal with financial stress too? Celeste had to juggle not only schoolwork but also juggle three different jobs. With great difficulty, she was able to finish her bachelor's, and now she was finally able to get into her dream university for her master's. All this while she thought being far away from home would somehow take her troubles away too, but that wasn't the case. She had a looming 1-year student loan and was barely getting by with a full-time degree. And that's when she was forced to do something that she didn't really think she would have to do. She found herself browsing through what it would take to be a sugar baby and was mortified that it required the sugar baby to have consensual sex and her graysexual ass could never. She was saved from the nightmare when she met a mysterious rich boy/man who was willing to act as her sugar daddy, well not really. Gabrielle a boy of just 23, and an owner of a multi-millionaire company. He had money and everything nice right at his feet. But just like Celeste, he was a broken boy too, craving for a family that was already 6 feet under the ground. And who knew that both of them would find each other and maybe just maybe they would find what they lost all hope for.

Akan tetapi, Gisela juga harus membantu Marco memecahkan misteri meninggalnya kakak pertamanya yang terkesan ditutup-tutupi oleh Lukas dan ibunya. Kesepakatan pun terjalin. Keduanya menikah, meski Lukas dan ibunya sangat menentang dan membenci Gisela yang notabene hanya wanita biasa, yang tak memiliki darah bangsawan. Apakah keduanya bisa mewujudkan tujuan dari pernikahan mereka? Atau justru terlena dengan kenikmatan sebuah pernikahan, dan memilih melupakan luka mereka?

My sister Emma and I were mated to the most powerful Alpha twins in the North—Evan and Lucas. After the marking ceremony, they spoiled us rotten. Every she-wolf in the Pack was jealous. But they didn't know that in my previous life, when I was five months pregnant and attacked by rogue wolves on my way to a prenatal checkup, my mate Evan was taking care of another sick she-wolf. I contacted Evan ten times through mind link, but he said impatiently: "Aria, how many more times are you going to play this trick? Sophia just had a premonition this morning that there would be no rogue wolf attack today! Sophia has already coughed up blood from overusing her precognitive abilities! As the Luna, you're not helping, and instead you're here being jealous?" Sophia was a she-wolf that he and Lucas rescued three months ago while patrolling the border. She was delicate and pitiful, claiming she could foresee the future. Soon, she successfully warned of several small-scale attacks. Evan and Lucas treated her like a treasure, doting on her. My sister Emma saw this scene on her way to pick up her three-year-old nephew Noah from school. She rushed forward without hesitation to save me. She and Noah begged Lucas for help, but Lucas was even colder: "You two sisters are really something. It's bad enough you conspired to put on a show to force us to come home, but you even taught a three-year-old child to lie!" Finally, the rogue wolf pack caught up with us. Three-year-old Noah was brutally bitten to death, and my child was ripped from my womb. When I opened my eyes again, Emma and I were back an hour before the rogue wolf attack. This time, Emma and I had only one thought: to sever the mate bond.

[The Reed Sisters Duet Book 1] Cheryln Reed has a dirty secret. She wants a man she can never have, Alpha Nathaniel Cross, her mother’s devoted husband, a powerful alpha, and the man who practically raised her. Nathaniel has always been steady. Controlled. Untouchable. He kept a respectful distance, never once giving Cherry a reason to hope for anything more. Her feelings were her shame, her sin, her burden to bear alone. So she dated boys she didn't want, tried to starve the hunger she had no right to feel, but her wolf never stopped whispering his name. Now 22, Cherry’s world tilts the night her boyfriend abandons her, drunk, scared, and stranded in the middle of nowhere. So she calls Nathaniel, and he comes. But something is different. His gaze lingers too long. His voice drops too low. His wolf prowls beneath his skin, furious at the scent of another man on her. And when he growls that her problem is she keeps choosing boys who don’t know how to treat her right, Cherry’s heart roars. In a reckless, trembling moment, she kisses him. And to her shock, he kisses her back. That single, stolen kiss ignites a wildfire they can’t put out. Now every look is dangerous. Every touch is forbidden. Every night is a battle against a desire strong enough to destroy a family, a pack, and the woman Nathaniel vowed to love. If Cherry gives in, she risks losing everything: her future, her mother, and the man she’s loved in secret for years. But if she walks away, she’ll lose the only thing her wolf has ever truly claimed. Some temptations were never meant to be survived.

At a lavish pack ceremony, welcoming the Alpha home from a month-long summit. He is not alone, flanked by a stunning new she-wolf: Mira. Before the entire pack, he formally rejects Talia and names Mira his future Luna. Reeling from heartbreak and betrayal, Talia is ordered to serve as Mira’s guard and protect the future Luna with her life if needed. The final insult. But she refuses. With her younger sister Alina in tow, Talia flees, determined to protect the only family she has left. Leon, Thomas’s Beta, has sinister plans for Alina. Staying would mean surrendering her baby sister to a fate worse than exile. Branded traitors and rogues, the sisters are hunted. They brave harsh elements, feral wolves, and the pain of losing their pack. Just when hope is slipping away, rescue comes from an unlikely source: Casius, the Beta of the Obsidian Crown Pack. He offers safety—but Talia suspects his intense protection of Alina is concerning. Is it fate? Or something more dangerous? They settle, and Talia carves out a new identity on her terms. She’s offered a position as a trainer and the king's second chance mate. But her growing influence draws jealousy from rival warriors—especially Ilode, a dominant she-wolf with her sights on the King and Talia's new position. Talia doesn’t want power, but she needs it to protect Alina. Lucian sees her not as broken but as a survivor who will serve him and his pack well. Rogue attacks escalate, and Talia’s past threatens to destroy everything she’s rebuilt. She must choose: stay and fight for the future she wants or run again.
