Going Plus Ultra

“But that’s not fair, Gunnar!” I protested, my voice barely rising above a whisper. Despite his blindness, I dared not look him in the eye. “This second-chance bond goes both ways. Why are you allowed to flirt with other women, but I’m not?” Gunnar growled fiercely, pushing me against the wall. “No one is flirting with anyone, Aqua. If I were you, I would forget about that healer because you’re not going anywhere. YOU. ARE. MINE.” -------------------------------------------------- Aqua, a third-tier submissive wolf, finds her peaceful world shattered when her lover, Leon, tricks her into a perilous plan to offer her virginity to the most ruthless and powerful alpha wolf in the lands: the Alpha King, Gunnar Buchanan. Furious and feeling betrayed, Gunnar initially wants her dead for the deception. However, he soon discovers that the weakest wolf in the pack is his second-chance mate, a bond that complicates everything. Determined to break the bond, Gunnar struggles with his own desires. He cannot fathom making Aqua his Luna Queen, yet something in her innocent blue eyes ignites a possessive fire within him. As the bond deepens, Aqua’s presence challenges his resolve and awakens feelings he thought were long buried. As Aqua transforms from a submissive wolf to a dominant one, she faces numerous trials, from jealous pack members to deadly external threats. Her bond with Gunnar, initially a curse, becomes a source of strength. But as she gains power, the question remains: Can she break the second-chance bond that binds them, or will she find that her destiny lies with the Alpha King?

My husband’s childhood friend was trapped in an elevator for half an hour. In his anger, he stuffed me inside a luggage bag and locked me inside. “You’re paying double for all the suffering Grace went through.” My body was forced into a curled-up state. I had a hard time breathing. I cried as I apologized, but all I got was my husband’s cold reproach. “You’re going through the entirety of this punishment. Once you’ve learned your lesson, you’ll behave.” He then locked the luggage bag in the closet. I screamed in despair and struggled to break free. My blood seeped out of the bag and soaked the floor. Five days later, he felt sorry for me and decided to end the punishment. “Let this punishment be a warning for you. This time, I’ll let you go.” Little did he know that my body was already rotting inside the luggage bag.
