Arti Alter Ego

There is no Prince Charming in my world. Only beasts who claw and fight their way through the masses to get to the top. I was always told that I was a prize. A treasure to be cherished. My lineage was a desired treasure, a prize worth spilling blood for. Many would stop at nothing to claim the honour of being the one to leave their mark upon me, to impregnate me and forever intertwine our fates. A child born from me would possess a level of power that surpasses anything they have ever experienced or witnessed. I could never fully comprehend it until Ace Ripley came into my life revealing secrets that would forever alter my way of life. He was a man whom I believed to be our sworn enemy and when he takes my virginity, that's when everything changes and this brutal, ruthless man decides that he wants to keep me for himself. His to worship. His to pleasure. His to corrupt. Even if that means going to war with his best friend. My father. --- "She is mine, Nathanial. If you want to keep up this bullshit engagement to my son for her, fine. But come Saturday, I will be the one putting my ring on her finger. I'll be the one who gives you grandchildren, and it will be my name she takes. I will also protect her from everything and anything in this life that tries to fuck with her or hurt her. You've been warned, now you need to accept that is happening and there is no way in hell I am backing down from this.”

Alice Brown es un caso atípico en el palacio de los metamorfos. Es débil y no puede transformarse, y es la criada más insignificante del palacio: todo el mundo puede intimidarla y todos los hombres la desean. Como tal, Alice mantiene una máscara inocente y un corazón vicioso y egoísta. Algo que demuestra cuando el nuevo guerrero de palacio, Simon, la llama débil. ¿Débil? Ella le demostrará que se equivoca. Y empezará por aprender mostrándole de lo que es realmente capaz. **—Tendrás que encontrar tú misma la respuesta a esa pregunta —se burló él—. No puedo decírtela. —¿Hay recompensa por responder correctamente? —pregunté atrevidamente mientras me inclinaba hacia atrás para mirarle a la cara. Cuanto más tiempo pasaba sentada en su regazo, más segura me sentía. Diosa, ayúdame.Sus ojos se oscurecieron y sus palabras salieron más como un gruñido: —Sí."Seduciendo al Alfa Mayor" es una obra de A.B. Elwin, autora de eGlobal Creative Publishing.

Sanay si Dominic Villaruel, isang gwapong bilyonaryo at may-ari ng kilalang hotel chain, na habulin at pagsilbihan ng mga babaeng halos mag-unahan para lamang mapansin siya. Dahil sa tingin niya’y pare-pareho lang ang lahat—nahuhulog sa kanyang yaman at sa kinang ng kanyang kagwapuhan—hindi niya kailanman sineseryoso ang pag-ibig. Mayabang, arogante, at sarado ang puso; iyon ang mundong matagal na niyang nakasanayan. Ngunit biglang nag-iba ang lahat nang makilala niya si Mira Santos, isang tahimik at introvert na staff sa kanyang hotel. Sa unang pagkikita, ni hindi siya nito binigyan ng tingin—para bang ang kinang ng kanyang itsura ay wala lang. Sa halip na ikababa ng kanyang ego, mas lalo siyang naiintriga. Unti-unti, natuklasan ni Dominic na sa likod ng pagiging mahiyain ni Mira ay may matatag at matalinong babaeng kayang suwayin ang kanyang kayabangan. At sa bawat saglit na magkasama sila, tila isang pana ng kupido ang muling bumuhay sa pusong matagal nang naniniwala na hindi na muling iibig. Hindi niya akalain—ang babaeng hindi man lang siya pinapansin ang siya palang dahilan ng pagbagsak ng kanyang pusong matagal nang sarado sa pag-ibig.

I felt his lips brush against my earlobe, a soft brush that suddenly made my toes curl. His breath lingered on my neck before he finally whispered, "I own you Crystal. The sooner you get to accept that the better for you. I'll make sure you submit yourself to me, be it the hard way or the easy way. And I'll break this ego of yours. I promise you" * * * * * * He was her beast and she was his beauty. He was addicted and she was his favourite drug. He was a sinner and she was his sin.

She swore never to succumb to him but what she didn't know was that he was also determined to show her that he would earn a place in her heart and life.

“When I pictured what today would look like, it never involved me standing here, alone at the alter, humiliated, as the prying eyes of guests etched at me like daggers and hushed whispers rose amongst them, with the collective gasps of disbelief.
