“I'm not just the vampire king of tales, Ellie. I'm a talented artist.” Vanchure said with every stroke he made on the canvas with his paintbrush. “So you can either be the one posing on my couch, behind the canvas, or be the one whose blood I will use in replacement for paints.” In a mystical world named Shirlon, there was a division of two powerful mythical creatures, two great kingdoms, with two great rulers. Speaking of which were the Black Pack, the werewolves, and the Thorx Coven, the vampire with the respect of law and order. These two kingdoms had a ball of symbiosis where they worked hand in hand to maintain their stable world. The werewolves were considered as the soldiers, the ones left to do the tough and dirty jobs within both kingdoms. While the soldiers had the day and night to themselves, the vampire blossomed in the dark. The vampires were also known as Royalties. They've been known to have ancient riches, making them superior to the soldiers. In these two kingdoms, they had their kings. Eamonn, Alpha of Black Pack, and Vanchure, king of Thorx Coven. They had maintained the order of peace and had always set their boundaries between each other until Ellie came along. Ellie was born of the soldiers, just a commoner that the Alpha of her Pack proclaimed as a mate. Ellie was set on a path to rescue her missing sister from the hands of the vampire king, Vanchure. But on her first encounter with that handsome devil, her whole life takes a different turn.

Dear Readers, I love reading stories of werewolves so I wanted to try my hand at writing a novel. This is not your typical “abused omega” wolf story. I hope you fall in love with the characters as much as I have. I am still currently in the process of writing so please bear with me. My goal is to upload a chapter or two everyday. Please show your support by commenting and sending gifts. Thank you for giving my story a chance <3

Warning!!! Adult Romance, sesuaikan usia kalian! Sorot mata Sunshine sinis membalas tatapan mata Lexy. "Seharusnya kau bisa mengerti keputusanku, aku terlanjur muak dengan semua permainanmu." "Aku akan memperbaiki semua kesalahanku, sejak awal, aku telah mengatakannya, aku akan memperbaiki kesalahanku," ucap Lexy dengan nada lembut. Sunshine tertawa pelan. "Kau memperbaiki kesalahan dengan menciptakan kebohongan." "Aku sedang berusaha memperbaiki hubungan kita, aku jatuh cinta padamu, dan aku menginginkanmu sebagai pendamping hidupku." Ucapan Lexy memang terdengar indah hingga melambungkan perasaan Sunshine, juga melambungkan harapannya. Tetapi, kebohongan dan pengkhianatan Lexy terlalu menyakitkan untuk diingat. Sunshine melepaskan cincin dari jari manisnya. "Yang Mulia, jika kau menginginkan aku, seharusnya kau berusaha untuk mendapatkan aku, memenangkan aku. Bukan mempermainkanku," ucapnya dengan nada sedikit meninggi dan emosional seraya meraih telapak tangan Lexy dan meletakkan cincinnya. "Keputusanku telah final." *Jika ada kesamaan dalam nama tokoh, kejadian, dan tempat, itu bukan kesengajaan. Cerita ini fiksi dari pemikiran Author setelah bersemedi di rawa-rawa selama beberapa-abad. *Mohon dimaklumi karena tidak ada yang baru di bawah sinar matahari.

I just closed a deal worth 50 million. The room did its job, so I went to the reception to check out, and I got myself a bottle of water worth 2 dollars. That very same day, I got an email from the company accusing me of misusing company funds. They canceled three months' worth of KPI from my records and fined me 5,000 dollars. I ignored that, thinking that it was a mistake some new guy in finance made. When I went to work the next day, my access card was denied. It was canceled. I couldn't even get into the building. Furious, I called my CEO fiance, but his secretary took the call instead. "How many times do I have to tell you to follow the rules when it comes to money? Did you tell finance about that bottle of water? No? Then that's against the rules! Everyone else follows the rules, so why can't you? You're a veteran!" The CEO chimed in, "Christina, you're a veteran of the company. You must be an example. You're not allowed back to work until you finish your 8000-word reflection and read it out loud at the all-employee meeting!" They tossed the phone aside, and a moment later, moans of delight and passion traveled through the air. Stone-faced, I hung up and called our competitor's CEO. "I've got a 50-million-dollar deal and a sales manager who just got fired for you. Are you taking that deal?"

*Excerpt* My gaze met Sergio's. He didn't look away. I couldn't look away either. It felt like there was an invisible magnet pulling us towards each other. He looked away, breaking us from the trance. "Are you sure you're okay, Nicole?" "Come inside." He shook his head. "I was worried, and—" "Come inside, let's talk." He shook his head again, unyieldingly. "We're already talking." "Are you scared?" I asked in a challenging voice, my gazed fixed on him. "What are you so scared of?" "Nicole..." "To answer your question, no, Sergio, I'm not okay." "What's bothering you?" The vulnerability in his eyes towards me was palpable. It was my chance to act. I couldn't afford to waste it. "You," I replied, my gaze still boring into his. "And your fiancee. I couldn't bear watching you together." Sergio swallowed, his Adam's apple bobbing.
