Lydia Hall

In Reychelle City, a contest was held to crown the most beautiful woman. After my cousin scarred my face, she seized first place with ease. What she never expected was that this year's contest wasn't for fame; it was to select the future wife of the Third Prince, a ruthless, bloodthirsty eunuch. That very afternoon, gifts poured in by the cartload. My betrothed panicked. That night, he tore up our engagement contract and carried my cousin into the bridal chamber. The next day, she trailed her lacquered fingertips across my cheek and sneered, "Alicia, with your ruined face, who would ever want you? Perhaps the beggar at the street corner might take you in." I caught her wrist, let out a cold laugh, and said, "Who told you I would marry a beggar?" Before her stunned eyes, I pushed open my parents' chamber doors. "Mom, since Maggie doesn't wish to be the prince's consort… let me take her place." Three years later, before the eyes of a shocked court, the Third Prince entered the grand hall with me at his side, with two children in tow. No one had foreseen it. This body of mine, blessed with the rarest gift of fertility, was the perfect match for a man believed incapable of siring heirs.

The night before our 17th wedding attempt, my mafia husband, Rafaeal Holloway, looks at me and promises an uninterrupted wedding. He solemnly swears. "Gianna, I promise you. I told Natalia that even if the sky falls, she'll deal with it alone." I am five months pregnant by then. After three years of dating and five months carrying his child, we've never managed to make it down the aisle because he's canceled the past 16 weddings. Every single time, it's for his sworn sister, Natalia Sullivan. The first time, she claims she has a fever. I spend the whole night at the hospital, still in my wedding dress, just to find out she has a mild cold. The second time, she claims her chest hurts. Rafael abandons me mid-wedding and rushes to her side, while she's out laughing over afternoon tea with friends. The third time, she cries for fear of thunder. He bolts mid-vows and leaves me alone in a hall full of staring guests. But everything's different now. Three days ago, a letter arrived from Northern Silenzio. My father, the Don of the Rossetti family, has finally summoned me home. If Rafael walks away for Natalia one more time, I'll leave for good.

Apparently, the mafia heir, Giovanni Alonzi, is on his deathbed. The Alonzi family wants to select a candidate out of all eligible bachelorettes in Monteverde in order to carry his heir and pray for his recovery. The moment the news gets out, my fiance, Riccardo Moretti, instantly proposes to me. He also urges me to register our marriage on the same day. We've been childhood sweethearts since we were kids, and we've already gotten engaged a long time ago. Our initial plan is to get married this year. But on the day I'm supposed to register my marriage with Riccardo, one of the maids drugs me. My half-sister, Elena Ricci, who shares the same father as me, puts on my gown and walks into City Hall with Riccardo on my behalf. When I wake up, I find out that Elena is already Riccardo's legitimate wife. Rage overwhelms my senses immediately. I rush to the bar to confront Riccardo, only to overhear his conversation with his friends outside the private room they are in. "You really are a genius, Riccardo! You're engaged to Marcella, yet you choose to marry Elena! If Marcella refuses to marry Giovanni, she can only remain your secret lover! "This way, you'll have both sisters as your lovers! Wow, you really are lucky!"

Bon-Hwa Rohan Fernando was nicknamed 'Gravity' by his friends and 'Acada' by his family. His life was unpredictable and full of controversy.

On his wedding day, his wedding was interrupted by an aggrieved woman, prompting his bride to run away, Rohan was ashamed, embarrassed and too annoyed to leave the wedding hall without a bride. He threatened to kill the father of the bride if he fails to bring back his daughter within 30 minutes. When the bride's father; Chin Elvis could not find his daughter; Chin Sun, he forced his second daughter; Chin Cho to replace her step sister. Bon-Hwa Rohan cared less whom he was married to. Chin Cho refused at first, but latter agreed. after the wedding, the couple had an accident in the night of the wedding and was taken to the hospital. in the hospital, it was found out by the doctors that Chin Cho was 14 weeks pregnant. Rohan was mad and said to the doctors "take care of my wife and the baby in the womb, let nothing happen to them. when i come out of this hospital, am going to kill both the father of my wife and the father of the baby in her womb. At the end, he found out that he was the father of the child in the womb. will he kill himself?

Athena King is pregnant just after her one night stand and Rafael Hall wants her to have the baby by all means necessary. She signs a contract to live with him and have the baby but after that, she wants nothing to do with him. He agrees and she moves in with him but there are sparks between them, an undeniable chemistry that drives them into bed one more time and then over and over again. The real reason he wants Athena and her baby is simple. He remembers her… her name is distinct, you see. She is the daughter of the man that had ruined his life many years ago. Athena is unaware of the secrets of her father that had made Rafael an assassin all those years ago but to Rafael, she was simply the daughter of the greatest enemy in his life and his nightmare. Rafael however is unable to enact revenge… he sees how different and humane Athena is and he is consumed by his feelings for her which he does not want to admit to while Athena on the other hand wants to discover the secrets Rafael seems to be hiding from her. Secrets she is unaware would upend their relationship in the most gruesome way. ~~~ "You intrigue me, Athena King and I am not easily intrigued so congratulations”

"Maybe you should spank me. I've been very, very, very naughty, sir." He chuckled, watching me go on all fours, in the middle of his office as he sat at his desk, typing away on an electronic keyboard. "You have, Miss Lenora," he smirked. "And I'm beginning to think my punishment has been too light Biting my lips like a puppy begging for a treat, I loved the sound of his voice dripping like honey. He leaned back into his chair and returned to his work, "Now get out. I've got test scripts to mark." Lenora's world crumbles when the man she has a sizzling passion for rejects her for her sister. Heartbroken, she escapes the painful situation by enrolling at Eldridge College, a distant university where she wouldn't have to face her backstabbing sister and the sexy-as-hell Professor CJ who tore her heart into shreds. What will happen when she's in her lecture hall and sees the new professor walk in, the same man who shattered her heart? Ignore her uncontrollable lust for him by pretending that he doesn't exist, or risk everything, defying the grave consequences and surrendering to the irresistible charm that CJ possesses.

I was being sold. I shuddered. Whoever would buy me… “Raise your number again, and I will rip out your throat.” Whoever it was, they were violent. I heard a hiss of pain and gasps around the room. Soon after, I was dragged off the stage and down the hall again. Then, I was tossed onto something soft like a bed. “I’m going to untie you now, okay?” “You smell so good…” he groaned and placed a hand on my thigh. “What’s your name?” Staring at the two twins in front of me, I cannot find a word to say. They even told me about a world beyond my understanding. “You’re a hybrid. There are things you need to understand about our world before we take you back to the pack. Thousands of years ago, the Old Moon Goddess passed away.” “When she was alive, we were one large pack, but when she died, we split up. Currently, there are the Black Moon, Blood Moon, and Blue Moon packs. The Blue Moon Pack is the most powerful.” ******Lucy, a hybrid of human and werewolf from White Moon Pack, the second goddess of the moon, the only survivor of the White Moon Pack. She has the power to unify the wolves, and because of her special identity, her parents died at the hands of the alpha of another pack.

Emily has carried a curse she did not choose and a shame she did not earn. On the night her powers first awakened, a fire broke out in her pack's sacred hall and her parents never made it out. She was six years old when her older brother, Alpha Aden, blamed her for everything. He stripped her wolf, locked her power away, and turned her into a servant in the house she was born in. For sixteen years, she has swept floors, taken beatings, and swallowed her tears. She stopped dreaming of rescue a long time ago. Then Alpha Lucas arrives. Dark haired, silver eyed, and terrifyingly powerful, the Alpha of Ironblood Pack has come to negotiate a deal with her brother. He was not supposed to notice her. She was not supposed to matter but something about the quiet girl with the dead wolf and the haunted eyes pulls at something deep inside him, something old, something that feels a lot like fate. He takes her with him not as a slave, not as a trophy but as he gets closer to the truth of who Emily really is, cracks begin to form in everything he thought he knew. Her blood is not ordinary, her wolf is not gone and the fire that killed her parents? It was never an accident. Someone wanted her silenced before she could become what she was always meant to be, but they failed.

Two weeks before my wedding to Alexander Hayes, he invites his friends over to our small home. During dinner, Alexander keeps groping me, whether intentionally or not. After they finish eating, I overhear their conversation as I clear the dishes and walk past the study. "Alex, Lydia's quite something. I touched her earlier, and her skin's so soft. She nearly pulled my soul out. "If you don't mind, let us guys have some fun with her once she pays off the debt for you. We'll help you cover the cost of whatever Kay wants." Alexander chuckles softly, his voice casual and careless. "Sure, I don't mind. I've been sleeping with her for so long, I'm already sick of her anyway. "Just make sure she doesn't rat us out to my grandpa... Actually, forget it. She's blind anyway, so she won't figure it out." For two years, I've devoted myself completely to taking care of Alexander, yet he's ready to throw me into other men's beds, using my body to settle his debts. I stand silently at the doorway, feeling absolutely nothing. Of course, I know that someone else has been replacing him for a year. The person who holds me close night after night isn't him, and the child in my belly isn't his either.

Ich war Alpha Damons leitende Beta. Sechs Jahre lang war ich seine Geliebte und stellvertretende Anführerin. Als er unsere Paarungszeremonie ankündigte, feierte das ganze Rudel. Mein Traum war endlich zum Greifen nah. Doch dann hörte ich ihn vor seinem privaten Trophäenraum über seine „Luna-Prüfungen“ prahlen. Und genau in dem Moment erkannte ich die Wahrheit. Ich war nicht seine Einzige. Ich war nur eine von dreißig Kandidatinnen. Einen Monat lang hatte er mit jeder von uns verbracht und bewertet: unsere Körper, unsere Unterwürfigkeit, unsere Leistung. Meine Punktzahl? Niedriger als die eines Omegas. Niedriger als die von Lydia. „Lydia zu ficken war unglaublich“, prahlte er. „Ich konnte kaum von ihr lassen. Dann sehe ich Elysia – so steif, so beherrscht – und bin einfach … gelangweilt.“ Eis durchströmte meine Adern. Mein Körper erstarrte. Sechs Jahre Hingabe. Unzählige Nächte in seinen Laken. All das bedeutete weniger als ein billiger Kick und eine Wölfin, die zu kriechen verstand. Mein gebrochenes Herz gefror zu Eis. Ich schickte eine Nachricht an einen Alpha, der mich schon lange begehrt hatte. „Adrian, du hast einmal gesagt, dein Paarungsangebot gelte uneingeschränkt. Gilt das noch? Damon und ich sind fertig.“
