How Many Sans Aus Are There

My sister, Gabriella Rutherfurd, is the richest female CEO in Brightshire. Her male secretary, Freddie Morgan, mentions that he wants to see a real-life version of the Squid Game, so she builds the venue and spends 100 million dollars to make it happen. The lure of a gigantic cash prize draws in countless desperate souls. Even the bodyguards responsible for protecting my brother-in-law, Cyril Harding, abandon their posts to participate. Cyril has no choice but to go to the hospital without the bodyguards for his medical appointment, but he is abducted halfway there. In my previous life, I found Gabriella and asked her to stop the game and send people to rescue Cyril. After hesitating, Gabriella agreed. She stopped the game and managed to save Cyril just in time. But the few players who had made it to the final round were furious that the game was canceled. To vent their rage, they took Freddie and beat him to death. Gabriella acted like it had nothing to do with me. Yet, on the day Freddie was buried, she ordered her men to beat me up. When I open my eyes again, I am back to the day that Cyril was abducted. This time, Gabriella gets what she wants, and the Squid Game is held as planned. By the final round, a masked man is dragged onto the high platform. Freddie announces that whoever slices the man's head off will win the 100-million-dollar prize. When Cyril's head rolls to Gabriella's feet, she finally snaps.

Claire Hanzel was an omega by birth with an extraordinary power: she can communicate with witches, dead or alive. As her race was always considered the lowest and she was rejected by her mate, the Alpha King's son, Ajax Larwoods, Claire felt heartbroken and went to seclusion with the help of a witch. Thinking back on how poorly she was treated by everyone, including Ajax himself, Claire was resolute to live a new life where she can be free and happy. So when Ajax suddenly appeared to her peaceful abode and almost killed everyone surrounding Claire, Claire was beyond speechless. With a horrible but powerful alpha such as Ajax, Claire was imprisoned and suffered through the hands of her very own mate. Every full moon, she prayed to never want to see Ajax ever again, even in their next lives. But as if fate continued to play its trick on her, when the war emerged and she died, on her rebirth with memories intact, Claire found herself facing her scum alpha mate once again. But why was Ajax suddenly showing her differently? He was the cause of her demise. He was a scum alpha... he was, right? Status. Identity. Power. When everyone wished for omegas to die, one omega desired to live. This was the story of a powerful alpha and his brave, little omega who wanted to change the world's views, challenged by the hands of fate.

Elisa De Luca a tout perdu un matin d'hiver, à la mairie. En refaisant son certificat de mariage, on lui a soufflé que le sien était un faux. Trois ans de mariage, réduits à une feuille truquée. Elle est rentrée chez elle, les mains glacées. Davide Santoro ne s'est pas excusé. Il lui a dit la vérité, froidement, comme on arrache un pansement sur une plaie encore vive. Depuis cinq ans, il était marié à la conseillère de leur université, Valentina , une femme plus âgée, plus discrète, plus utile. Davide avait tout orchestré en silence. Il avait soudoyé un médecin pour faire croire à Elisa qu'elle était stérile. Il lui avait imposé d'élever l'enfant qu'il venait d'avoir avec son autre femme. Elisa avait changé des couches, veillé des nuits entières, aimé cet enfant comme le sien, sans jamais savoir qu'on se moquait d'elle depuis le début. Elle s'est effondrée dans le couloir, sans un bruit. Puis elle a appelé son avocat. Sa voix était éteinte : « Je suis célibataire. Pas d'enfants. Mes biens sont à moi seule. » Elle est partie sans se retourner. Davide a souri. Elle reviendrait, pensait-il. Elle n'avait nulle part où aller. Il ne l'a jamais revue. Jusqu'à ce jour où son visage est apparu sur tous les écrans du pays. Une alliance à la main. Un homme puissant à ses côtés. Et dans ses yeux, plus de larmes. Juste le silence des tombes et l'éclat froid de la vengeance.

I made my way directly to the library with the present I had for Asher all nicely wrapped up, ready to be torn open. I was so excited and nervous at the same time. When I arrived at the library, no one was there. I sat there for a whole 20 minutes waiting for Mr. no show. I felt stupid for thinking he would actually come. I got dolled up for no reason at all. Maybe I’ll still meet my mate today. Then it won’t be for no reason. I got up from the table seat and went into the hall, hearing a lot of whispers regarding my new appearance. Some asking if I’m a new girl, others saying I’m trying too hard and others saying I look drop dead gorgeous. I didn’t know how to feel about myself. As I was wandering around the halls waiting for school to start, a smell hit me like a truck. It filled my lungs and took over my mind. It was the smell of after the rain had fallen. Petrichor. "Mate", I growled. I let the scent lead my feet to where my mate was. I was so excited and my palms are sweaty. It led me to the janitor’s closet and before I opened it I heard a moan. I put my ear to the door and heard shuffling. “Hurry Saige, I smell my mate, I can’t let her meet me like this.” I know that voice my heart skips a beat, fear and anger covers my heart like a blanket. It can’t be. It can’t be. There’s no way.

Delphine isn’t sure how she ended up in this position- a song bird with clipped wings and a gilded cage. Where did everything go wrong? The answer is the man who commands her to sing.

I signed for my sister's dinner. Not for love. Not for glory. Just so she wouldn't go to bed hungry again. Now I'm carrying his heir — and Clause 7 says I'll never see this baby's face. Elara is an omega with nothing left. So when Alpha Kael Blackwood — cold, haunted, called the Ice Alpha — offers her a contract, she doesn't hesitate. One year. One heir. $200,000. Live in his house. Carry his child. Leave when it's over. What the fine print hides: Clause 7. If the baby is a male heir — a True Alpha — Elara's parental rights end at birth. No visits. No goodbyes. Just a check and a locked door. She discovers this at fourteen weeks. After the morning sickness. After the first kick. After she's already named her daughter. Kael Blackwood is not a good man. He buried his entire pack at nineteen. He hasn't smiled since. But Elara sees the cracks. The hallway light he leaves on because she's afraid of the dark. Her sister's crayon drawings taped to his fridge. The way his hand hovers over her stomach — never touching — when he thinks she's asleep. He's not supposed to care. She's not supposed to want him to. When an old enemy discovers Elara's pregnancy carries the prophesied heir, the contract becomes a death warrant. Kael must choose: Follow pack law and lose her forever. Or burn his legacy down — and keep her. The Ice Alpha's Contract is a complete standalone dark werewolf romance. No cheating. No non-con. Pregnancy from Chapter One. Guaranteed HEA. ---

Quand mon compagnon Alpha, Logan, a remarqué que je n'avais soumis aucune demande de dépense depuis trois jours, il m'a contactée de lui-même pour la toute première fois. « Bébé, j'ai déjà approuvé la prochaine phase de ta guérison de loup. Tu vois ? Tant que tu apprends à te tenir bien, je te donnerai tout. » Son ton restait si affectueux, comme s'il était vraiment un bon Alpha, inquiet et malade pour sa compagne. Mais il ne savait pas que lorsque son « Bébé » a clignoté sur l'écran de mon téléphone, j'avais déjà fini de rédiger l'accord pour rompre notre lien de compagnon. Avant de partir, la seule chose que je pouvais emporter avec moi était le vieux T-shirt que j'avais porté quand il m'avait marquée. Personne ne croirait jamais que la chère Luna de la Meute de la Lune Noire, en trois ans depuis notre cérémonie d'union, n'a même pas réussi à réunir cinq robes décentes pour elle-même. Chaque dépense ménagère que j'engageais devait être approuvée par le sceau de la Luna, le symbole même de mon pouvoir. « Sienna, gérer les comptes est trop fatigant. Ça va t'épuiser. » « Laisse juste Chloe gérer le travail fastidieux avec le sceau. Tout ce que tu as à faire, c'est d'être belle, d'être ma Luna parfaite. » Ainsi, le sceau de la Luna, qui aurait dû être le mien, est devenu quelque chose que je devais supplier auprès de Chloe, la secrétaire de l'Alpha qui était censée « gérer le travail fastidieux pour moi ». Il y a trois jours, ma louve était sur le point de s'effondrer. J'ai pleuré et supplié pour les deux cent mille nécessaires pour une intervention d'urgence. Mais Chloe a délibérément retenu le sceau, retardant l'approbation en prétendant une procédure inappropriée. Finalement, ma louve déjà brisée est devenue complètement silencieuse au fond de mon âme. Et sur ce, j'en avais fini avec cet Alpha aussi.

Aku sudah menikah dengan Dennis selama sepuluh tahun. Aku bahkan pernah bertemu dengan mantan pacarnya setelah kami menikah. Setiap kali dia bosan dan ingin ganti pasangan, aku selalu jadi alasan terbaik untuk putus dengan setiap pacarnya. “Kamu akan jadi seperti dia kalau menikah denganku. Pada akhirnya, akan bosan karena terlalu akrab dan terbiasa, jadi nggak ada perasaan baru lagi.” Di hari peringatan pernikahan kami, aku malah sibuk menghibur mahasiswi yang baru saja dia putuskan, sementara dia asik menonton bioskop bersama pacar barunya. Saat tisu di tanganku habis, aku seakan melihat bayangan diriku di masa lalu. Jadi, aku pun mengajukan cerai pada Dennis. Dia jarang sekali tampak bingung begitu dan berkata, “Nggak mau tunggu sebentar lagi? Siapa tahu aku bakal sadar dan berubah. Aku hanya tersenyum tipis tanpa menjawab, lalu memesan tiket menuju negeri seberang. Jika aku tak bisa menunggu kepulanganmu, biarlah aku yang melangkah pergi lebih dulu.
