Princess Valery of Vesperia is a cheerful hardworking woman with a massive saviour complex that strikes at the most inconvenient times. So when she has a chance encounter with a potentially dangerous masked stranger with a bad sense of direction, her first instinct is to be unnecessarily helpful. Then her life takes a completely unexpected detour when she finds out that someone had nominated her for the Prince of Astanza's upcoming Courtship. A broadcasted event where the last girl remaining gets to become the Queen of an empire. The most beautiful, talented and accomplished girls from all over the world apply, but only 50 will be chosen as Nominees.

Unfortunately the whole world seems to be conspiring against her, because despite the suspicious circumstances surrounding her nomination, her uncle actually insists that she participate in the occasion. So, she resigns herself once more to the King's whims and tries not to be too resentful about it. Fortunately she has her masked stranger, who she strikes and unexpected friendship with, to anonymously confide her injustices to. As fate would have it, the masked stranger is the very prince she will be competing for in a few months, but what she doesn't know can't hurt her right? Right?

« Compagne ! » Mes yeux se sont presque échappés de leur orbite lorsque je me suis brusquement redressée pour regarder l'homme qui était visiblement le roi. Ses yeux étaient bloqués sur les miens alors qu'il se rapprochait très vite. Oh non ! Voilà pourquoi je le trouvais familier : c'était le même homme que j'avais heurté il y a peu de temps. Et celui qui avait prétendu que j'étais sa compagne … Oh... PUTAIN ! Cinq ans après la chute du monde que nous connaissions, nous célébrons cet anniversaire dans un futur dystopique. Les lycanthropes, des créatures surnaturelles, ont pris le contrôle et rien ne sera plus comme avant. Les villes sont divisées en deux districts : le district humain et celui des loups. Les humains, réduits au statut de minorité, doivent une obéissance sans faille aux Lycans. Toute désobéissance à ces nouvelles règles est sévèrement punie en public. Pour Dylan, une jeune fille de dix-sept ans, la vie dans ce nouveau monde est un véritable cauchemar. Agée de douze ans lors de la prise de pouvoir des loups, elle a été à la fois témoin et victime de ces punitions. Depuis que les loups dominent le monde, être la compagne d'un d'entre eux est l'une des pires choses qui puissent arriver. Alors, que se passe-t-il lorsqu'elle découvre non seulement qu'elle est la compagne d'un lycan, mais que ce lycan est le plus célèbre et le plus brutal de tous ? Suivez les aventures de Dylan sur son chemin parsemé d'obstacles, combattant la vie, l'amour et la perte. Une nouvelle vision de l'histoire des loups. J'espère que vous apprécierez la lecture.

One night of boldness leads to a marriage of convenience. Just a plain agreement. No commitment but a lot of sex. She is liking the setup until the 'right one' came back. Without a fuss, she left, bringing the memories and another heartbeat. ********** Dumped by her two-year relationship for the reason of her being prude and frigid, Alexzia Montes proves she was otherwise. With four glasses of wine in her system, she delved into a passionate night with a stranger she randomly picked. "Do I need to pay you? How much?" she outrightly asked. "Can you afford me?" he snickers. "Just tell me how much" she stubbornly retorted. She is getting pissed by his arrogance. "500 billion dollars" he briefly replies with raised challenging brows. "What?" she mumbles in disbelief. "My present net worth is more or less 500 billion dollars" he unconcernedly replied. Stunned, she becomes quiet. "That's why you look familiar..." she frustratedly whispers, facepalming herself. The man she often sees on tv and in newspapers but hasn't met in person. The only person in the country who has a five hundred billion net worth. "CEO Lucien Wright..." she whispers in despair, almost indistinct. Of all people, she had chosen the cold and ruthless CEO of Wright Group of Companies. How could she afford him? He could even buy her, body and soul. "I need a wife, a bait for my girlfriend to come back. Name your price" he casually announced, handing her the documents. "Once she is back, you will sign the divorce paper and peacefully leave. I will pay you, just name the amount" he added. The offer is tempting Alexzia. She needs ten million dollars and it's an impossible plight but she has an easy way out, being a Ten Million Dollar Wife to CEO Wright.
