No Commission? Watch Me Raise Hell in the Tax Bureau

No Commission? Watch Me Raise Hell in the Tax Bureau

At the contract-signing meeting, a major client casually asks our new technician if she can handle her alcohol. She immediately pours a glass of red wine over his head and says coolly, "This sort of socializing is a bad habit. I'm putting an end to it." Leon Langley, a top client who brings the company 300 million dollars in annual revenue, flies into a rage and tears up the contract on the spot. As the project lead, I bend over backward to apologize and drink with Mr. Langley until I'm hospitalized with gastric bleeding—just to salvage the deal. When I report the incident to my boss, he scolds me instead. "As the person in charge, you nearly ruined the project. Forget the three-million-dollar commission we planned to give you. Consider this a warning." After that, I put Hannah Storrie's name on the department's downsizing review list. She sneers. "I'm a top talent the boss poached at great expense. I'm not some cheap hostess who survives by smiling and drinking like you. "Firing me would be throwing the company down the drain. When that happens, you'll be begging me to come back." I ignore her. However, when the review period ends, the name on the layoff list turns out to be mine. My boss seizes the opportunity to announce that Hannah will replace me as the new sales director. "Clients are extremely important to us. You don't seriously think you're capable of landing them, do you? "Hannah's is more qualified, more tech-savvy, and prettier than you. She's clearly the better choice." I simply smile, turn around, and dial a number.

Her Final Payment: A Noose

Her Final Payment: A Noose

My mom and I work our butts off in order to clear Gregory Hudson, my boyfriend's crippling debt. Because of that, Mom even contracts lung cancer. But when I rush to the hospital to pay off the hospital bills, I find out that she's already taken her life by hanging herself. All she leaves is a suicide note. "I can't hang on anymore, Hailey. You should use the money to pay off the debt. Gregory is a good man. I know he loves you; it's just that he's stepped down the wrong path. "Once the debt is cleared, both of you should stay together and live a good life." After collecting Mom's ashes in an urn, I entrust the 300 thousand dollars—the money that Mom has earned with her blood, sweat, and tears—to Gregory. When I return to the company, I accidentally overhear the conversation between Gregory and a few of his debtors. "Mr. Hudson, Ms. Jackman has already passed all of your trials so far. What other arrangements do you have for her?" Gregory's childhood friend, Sophia Wagner, suddenly speaks up. "Even though Hailey can endure all the suffering with you, we still need to test if she can still handle living a good life with you." Gregory purses his lips. "Next, I'd like to know if Hailey's love for me is pure and sincere. If she doesn't pine for my wealth and doesn't become materialistic after finding out about my identity, I will marry her." As I look down at Mom's ashes, I can't help sobbing like a lost child. Both my mom and I are wrong about Gregory. I don't want to marry him anymore.

You Want My Crown? Fine, Take the Trash Too

You Want My Crown? Fine, Take the Trash Too

After graduation, I spend a year interning with my mentor, a healer, out in the neutral lands—no packs, no laws, and no one to protect me. My brother, the Lycan Chairman of all werewolves, nearly loses his mind over it. He's terrified I'll fall for some Rogue and impulsively form a reckless mate bond. As such, he handpicks an arranged mate for me—Falcon Sterling, the Alpha of the strongest pack in Northmere. He's handsome and dangerous, a legendary figure. My brother orders me to come home for the mating ceremony, so I have no choice but to go pick out a Luna crown. At the jewelry shop, my eyes snap straight to a crown made of pure silver and covered in diamonds. Just as I reach out to take it, a sharp female voice cuts in. "I like the one she's holding. I'll take it. Hand it over." Before I can react, the clerk snatches the crown right out of my hands, nearly scraping my skin. I straighten up, forcing myself to stay calm. "Ever heard of 'first come, first served?' I saw it first. Is this how you do things here?" The she-wolf slowly turns toward me, casting me a long, mocking look. "This crown costs 300 thousand dollars. You sure you can afford it, peasant? I grew up with the Alpha of the Silvermoon pack, Falcon Sterling. Around here, I make the rules." I stare at her, almost laughing. Isn't that funny? Falcon just happens to be my arranged mate. I pull out my phone and press the call button. "Hey, Falcon. Your adorable childhood sweetheart just stole the Luna crown I'm supposed to wear for the mating ceremony. What do you think I should do about that?"

A Wolf King's Last Plea After a Broken Blood Pact

A Wolf King's Last Plea After a Broken Blood Pact

Today is the death anniversary of Jordan Willis, the Alpha of the Moonshadow Pack. He's also known as my dead mate. My name is Sasha Calhoun, a she-wolf who descends from a family with a weakened bloodline. I'm also the current Luna of the Moonshadow Pack. In a world where the bloodline purity determines the status quo of werewolf society, I seem to exist solely to enter a marriage alliance with Jordan, the Alpha who comes from the most elite family with a pureblooded heritage. This is a political trade meant to strengthen Jordan's position in his family as well as reassure the Elder Council. A year ago, Alpha Jordan sacrificed himself in a blazing inferno while on a mission. I become the most pitied she-wolf in the pack who has to keep the only light on in my empty home. At the same time, I need to protect the only flicker of hope in this pack. As I carry a bouquet of white lilies, which were Alpha Jordan's favorite flowers when he was still alive, I approach his grave. The pup in my womb seems to have picked up on my emotions, for it kicks me gently. I can feel the hum of a powerful and pure-blooded lifeform from the movement. It's the lifeblood of a pup destined to become the future powerful Alpha. Even though I'm still carrying the pup, I still feel reassured and proud. But the next thing I know, I spot a wolf sinking down to one knee far away on the horizon. He appears to be proposing to my younger sister, Winnie Calhoun. Even though there's more than 300 feet between us, I can still smell the Alpha's familiar scent, which seizes me by my heart. After all, I had once immersed myself in that particular scent for countless days and nights in the past. That Alpha… is actually Alpha Jordan, who supposedly died one year ago! I instinctively clutch my belly, my palm caressing the newly-developed heartbeat of my unborn pup. Then, I call the pack guards.

Prends ma couronne, et le déchet aussi

Prends ma couronne, et le déchet aussi

Après avoir obtenu mon diplôme, j'ai passé un an en stage avec mon mentor, un guérisseur, dans les Terres neutres – sans tribus, sans lois et sans gardes du corp pour me protéger. Mon frère, le Président Lycan de tous les loups-garous, en a presque perdu la raison. Il avait peur que je tombe amoureuse d'un rôdeur et que je forme impulsivement un lien de compagnon imprudent. C'est pourquoi il m'a personnellement choisi un compagnon – Arthur St-Clair, l'Alpha de la tribu la plus puissante du Nordlac. C'est un homme beau et dangereux, une figure légendaire. Mon frère m'a ordonné de rentrer à la maison pour la cérémonie d'union, donc je n'ai eu d'autre choix que d'aller choisir une couronne de Luna. À la bijouterie, mon regard a été immédiatement attiré par une couronne en argent pur et couverte de diamants. Juste au moment où j'ai tendu la main pour la prendre, une voix féminine stridente a retenti. « J'aime bien celle qu'elle tient. Je la prends. Donnez-la-moi. » Avant que je puisse réagir, le vendeur a arraché la couronne de mes mains, me griffant presque ma peau. Je me suis redressée, me forçant à rester calme. « Vous connaissez l'expression « premier arrivé, premier servi » ? C'est moi qui l'ai vue en premier. C'est comme ça que vous faites ici ? » La louve s'est tournée lentement vers moi, me lançant un regard moqueur. « Cette couronne coûte 300 000 euros. Tu es sûre de pouvoir te l'offrir, paysanne ? J'ai grandi avec l'Alpha de la tribu Lune Argentée, Arthur St-Clair. Ici, c'est moi qui fais les règles. » Je la regardais, manquant de rire aux éclats. N'était-ce pas absurde ? Après tout, Arthur était mon fiancé. J'ai sorti mon téléphone et j'ai appelé Arthur. « Écoute, Arthur. Ta chère amie d'enfance vient de voler la couronne de Luna que je veux porter pour notre cérémonie. Que penses-tu que je devrais faire ? »
