Butlers Amusement

"Do I scare you Jane ?" He suddenly asked after watching me like an eagle stalks his prey. I couldn't dare look him in the eye. I could only lower my gaze and fiddle with my fingers. He hummed again, a sound so pleasing to my ears, "tell me what you've heard about me." I immediately looked up, blinking at me, thrown off balance to see the amusement in his eyes. Was he being serious right now? "Cat got your tongue, little one?" He tilted a brow at me and I found myself blushing under the intensity of his gaze. "You're a monster." I squeaked, waiting for him to grow enraged and send me to the land of the dead. Jane Miller was sold to the cold, ruthless Lycan King to give him an heir. Would she survive the sinister plans of his arranged mate?

My drunken father, Alpha Damon, blamed me for my sister's death. He wished that I had died instead. "Why did she have to die and not you?" He asked, crying on my sister's grave. From that day, I abandoned my pack and went rogue for ten years due to the statement made by my Father. On my 18th birthday, I discovered who my mate was; he was the most respected and feared Alpha of the strongest pack. He took me to his Pack but didn't show any affection or physical contact with me. This made me choose to play the role of the Luna just to win him over, despite the mockery that I faced, but to my amusement, on a faithful day, he brought a woman home. "This is the woman I love. You can leave." He said. I looked at the woman, then fell on my knees as I looked at her face.

Veronica spent her entire life trying to be the perfect daughter and the best Luna. However, none of it was ever enough. Two years into her marriage, her Alpha joined hands with her family to overthrow her and was then replaced by her two-faced stepsister. After all this, Veronica was sacrificed to their worst enemy, she thought that it was the end for her— until she caught the interest of the infamous Prime Alpha, and King of the strongest lycan clan, Sebastian. “I want a queen as feisty as you,” he says as his grip on her jaw tightens while he stares closely at her face. “You’ll have the Luna you want in one condition,” she answered firmly. He smirks in amusement and tells her, “Name anything and I shall grant it.” “I want my revenge on everyone who scorned me.”

My roommate sets me up. She deliberately forces me into a death-trap survival game. As I shut my eyes and wait for death to take me, I realize that the game's bosses can read my mind. "Look at the blood spurting from this baby doll's neck. It's like a fountain of pee." The baby doll is baffled. It's about to launch its ultimate move, but it falters. "Man, look at how this guy is still sweeping the streets when he's so old. Does he not have a pension?" The old man is about to swallow me whole, but he suddenly gets a heart attack. An ambulance takes him away. "Oh, so this is the amusement park's owner. Oh, dear god, he's handsome, albeit a little skinny. I can send him flying with a kick!" The handsome owner's expression darkens. He instantly takes off his shirt to reveal his washboard abs. "Do you still think I'm skinny?"

“I’m not afraid of you,” I whispered as he pressed himself against me, running a hand down the side of my face.“Are you sure, because your heart says otherwise.” A twinkling of amusement lingered in his eyes, and running his tongue across his fangs, he smiled. “You people see us as celebrities, dazzling creatures of the night. In reality, we are so much more.”~~~~~When Lorelei’s sister Lucy disappears, she ensures she is accepted into the lottery of paradise to spend a year with the most celebrated of vampires.

While I worked hard for my husband and son to have a privileged life, they went to an amusement park with Rachel to eat ice cream together. I still worked overtime to treat him when Oliver openly denied that I was his mother in the kindergarten and claimed that Rachel was his "biological mother". I still believe his assurances even after I discovered a photograph of my husband Derek and Rachel from before we met.

Everyone in Vallermoore knew I was Cole Mitchell and Finn Archer's most treasured princess. At 12, Cole saved me from my abusive dad's grip and gave me a second shot at life. He vowed to protect me always. At 13, Finn rented out an entire amusement park for my birthday and whispered that guarding my smile was his mission for life.

However, for years after, they tore the city apart and tried to find me like mad.

I was Randy Johnson's contract wife. For five years, I tried every possible way to make him fall in love with me. But aside from showing me concern in bed, he ignored me the rest of the time. When a piece of equipment at the amusement park fell and struck me, the first thing he did was rush to his beloved first love. She was startled but unscathed. Yet, he rushed her straight to the hospital. When a towering cake display collapsed on me, leaving blood streaming down my arm, he still chose to comfort his first love, who merely had a stomachache. Since he loved her so deeply, there was no reason for me, his contract wife, to stay. So I let him go and freed myself in the process. I chose to study abroad, vowing never to see him again for the rest of my life. I never expected… this time, he would be the one to regret it.
