Calliope: All my life my parents have sheltered me and now I find out not only am I a damn fairy, I have been promised to some psycho Warlock who thinks he's a God among women. DId he really think I would just drop to my knees right then and there in the damn dining room? Why does he have to be so damn hot....maybe once couldn't hurt, I can always leave tomorrow. I will show him who the God is here, he will be begging for me. Alexander: Who the hell does she think she is? She should be so lucky to be my wife, like she is some prize.

Either way I will be her undoing.

「宿主、あなたはすでに伊賀修司（いが しゅうじ）の攻略を8回挑戦していました。現在の好感度は99%。これまでで最高の数値です。 もう一度攻略すれば、成功の確率は極めて高いと予測されます！ 9回目の攻略を選びますか？それとも、リスクを取って攻略対象を変更しますか？」 システムの声を聞きながら、白鳥暖子（しらとり あつこ）はこれまでの8度の攻略を思い出した。 どんな身分で近づいても、修司には毎回、正体を見破られてきた。 最初は地震の中、彼を助けて命を落とした。 そのときは、ほんの少しだけど、彼も悲しんでくれた。 でも、彼が暖子が「復活」して再び自分に近づいてくるのを知ってからは、少しずつ彼女を人間として見なさなくなった。 7回目の死は、別荘の火事だった。 彼は、本命の飼い犬を助けに行けと命じた。 炎に焼かれて死んだあの痛みは、今でも思い出すだけで体が震える。 目を閉じて、かすれた声で暖子は答える。 「はい、変更する」 「了解しました。9回目の転生後、新たな攻略対象に変更します」 ……

Sylvie Bouchra, à l'insu de Louis Vincent, a envoyé la jeune fille qu'il gardait chez lui dans un top conservatoire à l'étranger. Louis, que tout le monde décrivait comme un homme froid et détaché, est instantanément devenu fou. Il a envoyé Francis, son fils avec Sylvie, sur un bateau de croisière à destination de l'Arctique. Il a forcé Sylvie à lui livrer Flora Richard. Sylvie regardait son fils de cinq ans pleurer pitoyablement sur le bateau, qui naviguait progressivement vers les eaux internationales. L'assistant de Louis tenait l'enfant suspendu au-dessus de l'eau, tout le petit corps de l'enfant exposé au vide. La voix sinistre et étouffée de Louis a résonné : « Sylvie, il ne te reste que cinq minutes pour réfléchir. Si tu refuses toujours, ton fils tombera dans la mer ! »

Five minutes before the graduate admission exam began, the campus heartthrob quietly slipped a crumpled piece of paper into my pencil case. Lines of floating text drifted across my vision. [The paper is filled with answers. The school heartthrob has reported it, and the proctor will be here any second!] [As long as they find it, his admission slot will be canceled immediately!] [Serves this bookworm right for standing in our heartthrob’s way. The proctor is his aunt. He’s doomed today!] The next second, the proctor stormed into the classroom and headed straight for my seat. “Someone has reported you for cheating,” she said sharply. “Empty your pencil case. We’re checking it.” Without a word, I turned the case upside down. A few pens fell onto the desk, but there was no paper. The campus heartthrob’s eyes widened in disbelief. “How is that possible? I–” Before he could finish, a slip of paper covered in answers slid out of his own pocket and dropped onto the floor. What they didn’t know was that I was born with a weird power called “Misfortune Rebound.” Anyone who tried to harm me would end up suffering the consequences themselves.

Twins' Stormie and Misty were about as different as they came. While Stormie was quiet and preferred to be alone, Misty was outgoing and popular. Misty was even more popular with their parents. For Stormie that didn't really bother her. While she was a few minutes older, she didn't care that her sister was their parents pride and joy. After nearly eighteen years, she was familiar with the hostility that her parents and sister showed her. As long as she kept to herself and stayed under the radar, she will be able to leave the Pack when she turns eighteen. Both girls are identical, but it's Misty that is being set up to marry the Alpha Axel. Well that was until the day she received the mark of her wolf, on her eighteenth birthday. Her parents are determined to make sure that their precious daughter marries the Alpha, even if that means they sacrifice their other daughter. Everything seems to be working out for the twin's parents and Misty, until Misty disappears with a rogue that she claims to love. Now Stormie is forced to act as Misty until Misty returns. Pretending to be Misty is going to be harder than she thought, especially when she starts to fall for Alpha Axel.

Three days before my wedding, Adrian canceled it for the fifty-second time. He came to the Palermo workshop to approve my gown’s crest embroidery, but the moment I stepped out from the fitting curtain, he snatched up his holster and radio. “Torino bastards smashed Bianca’s vineyard, surrounded the estate. Lia’s terrified, so I have to go. The wedding is off.” Once, I would have stopped him and demanded to know who mattered more to him, me or Bianca. This time, I simply let him go. Thirty minutes later, Bianca posted an Instagram Story: [You’re the only shelter for me and my daughter.] The photo showed Adrian holding Bianca close, with Lia in his arms, calling him Dad. They looked like a real family. My parents sighed. “Seraphina, is the wedding in Hawaii off again? We’ve already sent the invitations to every renowned Italian family. What will this do to the Bellini family’s honor?” I shook my head, tapping the backup invite. "The wedding goes on.  In three days, I’ll still be a bride. Just not Adrian’s."
