Cannonball Lyrics Damien Rice

Sign this or someone dies. Lena Brooks thought her biggest problem was choosing between groceries and rent until billionaire Damien Black appeared at her door with a marriage contract and an ultimatum that shattered her world. Now she's trapped in a glittering world, where every smile hides a threat and who to trust is a game on its own. Caught between terror and an attraction she can't deny, Lena will have to uncover the truth to protect the people she loves before it’s too late.

When Lena Ardent, a once-renowned child psychologist who lost her voice after a tragic accident, receives a mysterious job offer sealed in red wax, she has nothing left to lose. The letter summons her to Veyne Estate, home of the enigmatic billionaire Damien Veyne a man who never speaks and lives under strange, nocturnal rules. Lena signs a contract that promises fortune but demands silence. At first, her role seems simple: be his interpreter, his voice in a world he refuses to face. Yet soon she notices things that defy reason claw marks on marble floors, whispers in the woods, and a wolf that watches her from the treeline. When Lena breaks his one rule and opens the forbidden red book, she discovers Damien’s secret: he is bound by an ancient curse that turns him into a wolf under the Blood Moon. Even more shocking Lena herself appears in a century-old portrait labeled “The Mute Oracle Bonded Mate.” As their bond deepens, the Blood Moon rises, forcing Lena to choose between saving the man she loves or freeing him by destroying herself. When she finally speaks his name for the first time in years, her voice breaks the curse and awakens a love older than time. In the end, silence becomes power, and love becomes the loudest sound of all.

BLURB "If you reject him, I will accept your proposal and marry you. Not only that but I will make you the first Alpha Queen." Maya Stone made one mistake that cost her everything. She fell in love with Alpha Damien who used her, betrayed her and destroyed her entire pack. He killed her parents, enslaved her people and turned her into a breeder and a maid for his side piece Isabella. But Maya is not the kind of woman who stays broken forever. In order to get revenge she needs power. Power she does not have. The fastest way to get it is to marry the most feared man alive. The Lycan King, Asher Baxton. But marrying Asher is not as simple as signing a contract. His world is filled with dark secrets and dangerous lies. He has his own reasons for agreeing to this marriage and none of them are pure. He tries to keep Maya at arms length because a Lycan and a normal wolf were never meant to be together. But fate does not care about rules. And the more they try to fight their attraction the harder it becomes to stay apart. Meanwhile Damien will stop at nothing to drag Maya back. He will burn down everything in his path to get her. But this time Maya is not the same weak girl he threw away. This time she is becoming the Alpha Queen.

Olivia was proposed to by her lover Jacob, but she couldn't agree. They could not make love or even kiss. Because this was a vampire-ruled country, werewolves were vampires' slaves. All werewolf women must remain chaste, because every young girl was a tribute waiting to be chosen by a vampire. Once a girl turned 15, she would enter the annual lottery. Only girls who were not chosen five times in a row were allowed to fall in love with their mate, and vampires considered five years of waiting a mercy. Olivia had not been selected for four consecutive years, and as long as she failed again this year, she could marry Jacob. This year's tribute lottery was special, and all tributes would be dedicated to the legendary Vampire Duke Damien. Olivia was lucky not to be chosen. Unfortunately, her sister became a tribute. To save her sister, Olivia volunteered to be a tribute. Unbeknownst to Olivia, her blood had aroused Damien's interest. When a vampire came looking for the blood pet chosen by Damien, an accident caused Olivia to swap identities with another tribute. Olivia planned to escape, but was found by vampires and became their appetizer. Just as Olivia was about to fall into nothingness, she heard an indifferent voice.“Who allowed you to hurt my pet?”

"When Gold meets silver, when White meets Black, The sky would weep and the earth would bleed." "His mate is here!" people whispered but I couldn't make sense of what they were saying. His eyes caught mine glowing,and unnatural gold as they got closer to me. A loud click chimed Tick, Tock Matching the rhythm of my beating heart. Within a twinkle, I was yanked out of Damien's hand with full force pulling me into the rock hard chest "Mate!"

I moaned out his name. "Damien, you are not trying hard to get me, yet .." He smirked and whispered to my ears. "I like being hard, Not "trying" hard."

My twin sister, Sarah, was dying from silver poisoning. My blood was the only thing that could save her. The healer was overwhelmed and made a mistake on the paperwork. She mailed the diagnosis report to the pack house with my name on it instead of Sarah's. She told me the truth in private.I wanted to rush home immediately and correct the misunderstanding. But before I could, the news reached the pack. My parents and Alpha Damien reacted in a way I never expected. They firmly forbade Sarah from donating blood to save me. They raged that I was being selfish for even asking for help. They said Sarah couldn't handle the weakness that came from a blood transfusion. I fought back the coldness spreading through my chest. "I'm pregnant. If I don't get treatment soon, the poison in me will kill the pup too." My mate Alpha Damien, the one who had sworn to protect me forever, responded without warmth. "We can always have more pups. Sarah only has one life to live." My wolf howled in agony inside my head. So I chose to leave, to walk away from the place that had brought me nothing but pain. By the time they realized the truth, it was already too late for regret.

Madeline has been killed. Not by an enemy or a rival pack; not even by the rebellious rogues that roam the kingdoms. No. Madeline has been killed by someone close to her heart. Her mate, Damien— lycan King of the empire of Ker. To hide his affair with her best friend and daughter of a very troublesome rogue pack, Damien rejects her and then kills her. However, fate is not blind. The moon goddess hears her plea and she is reborn. She wakes up 3 months before the incident and now has to alter the very course of time. In this second chance, she will use any means necessary to get her revenge and make those two pay. Even if it means siding with the dangerous alpha ruler of the growing rebellion, Axel Black. Even if it means losing herself to his serpentine tongue. She would take everything her mate had; including his precious throne— and nothing would stop her. But when sparks begin to fly between the ruined queen and this strange rogue she has made a volatile deal with, can Madeline hold on to the revenge cogs she has begun to spin? Especially when this rogue only has one goal in mind— to destroy her mate and all the royals in Ker— not excluding her, of course.

"You signed the contract, Bianca." Damien’s voice was dark, and laced with cruel possession as he towered over her. "That means when I say strip, you strip. When I say crawl, you get on your knees. And when I say beg… well, show me how desperate you can be." Bianca clenched her fists, trembling and, swallowing her pride. This was the price she had to pay for revenge. She lifted her chin and exhaled. "Yes, sir."
