“This is no fairy tale love story,” he said softly. “I would never love you, and yet I would make you love me. I would make you beg for my love till it destroys you, and then I would destroy your family, everything you stand for.” Isabel offered herself to her father’s arch enemy, the Alpha Xavier as mate in exchange for his help for her father. She stepped into her new home, and her new life with Xavier with only one thing on her mind, to love her mate with all her heart and make the most of a bad situation but…. The wickedly handsome Alpha Xavier has promised never to love her, to instead use her, destroy her, and use her to destroy her family and pack as revenge for what her pack did to his former mate. Now, even when he holds her so tenderly, when his kisses set her on fire, his eyes remain cold and wicked, and he always finds a way to hurt her I’m the midst of her pleasure.

The laundromat I regularly visit has been showing an odd fluctuation in its price lately. "This coat isn't easy to wash. We're probably the only store that's willing to clean this at a loss. The market price is 55 dollars per item, but I'll give you a discount and only ask for 200 dollars for four items." I look at the boss' mother, who's new at the laundromat. I'm a little pissed. Still, I hand her my membership card without saying anything. This laundromat is opposite my residential area, and they had a promotion during their opening. I topped up ten thousand dollars on the card because I pitied the owner for raising a child alone. Unexpectedly, the owner's mother looks at me and says sarcastically, "That dumb membership card means nothing to me—you have to pay me in cash. You youngsters are too lazy to wash your clothes, yet you're more than willing to use your brains for nonsense like this. My son is too kind to let you take advantage of him like this." I grab my clothes and leave. It's time to use my brain for some nonsense—I think the laundromat should have a new owner.
