Man Slave Chapter 1

I wanted a start over, somewhere quiet. That is why I agreed to move to a new town with mom. The haunting memories were too much to handle. I felt like I couldn't breathe anymore. Entry into a new home should be rewarding, refreshing even. But is It? Why does it feel like I've run into a place that has me question every noise, people and even my own dreams? Something lurks in the deep parts of the forest, it's calling my name- a summon. 'It's You!' That's what I heard. But I never realised that my very own existence, was what GRIPPED the secrets of the moon.

Isang Half Irish-filipino na dating mayaman ngunit naghirap dahil sa malaking pagkakautang ng kaniyang ama sa isang kilalang pasugalan. Nawala ang lahat ng yaman na meron sila at walang nagawa kundi ang umalis sa malaking mansyon na kaniyang kinalakhan dahil may ibang tao na ang bumili. Bata pa lamang siya ay kinailangan na niyang tulungan ang kaniyang ina na magtinda ng mga gulay sa palengke habang nakakulong ang kaniyang ama dahil sa pagkakalulong sa ipinagbabawal na bisyo. Hanggang senior high school lamang ang kaniyang natapos dahil sa matinding hirap at sa laki ng kanilang gastusin sa pang-araw-araw. Kinailangan niyang tumigil sa pag-aaral para makahanap ng trabaho upang may pangtustos sa pag-aaral ng kaniyang dalawang kapatid. Kahit anong klaseng trabaho ang tinatanggap niya para lang magkapera. Akala niya ay doon lang tumatakbo ang kaniyang buhay sa mga trabahong tinatanggap niya, hanggang sa may mapulot siyang pitaka na naglalaman ng malaking halaga. At dahil napalaki siya ng maayos ng kaniyang Mommy ay ibinalik niya sa isang kompanya ang pitaka kung saan nagtatrabaho ang taong nakahulog nun. Lingid sa kaniyang kaalaman ay doon na pala magsisimulang magbago ang kaniyang buhay. Dahil ang taong nagmamay-ari ng pitaka ay walang iba kundi ang pure Italian na bilyonaryo at kilala sa buong bansa na gwapo, hot at masungit na business tycoon at may kulay-langit na mga mata. Si Azzurro Cielo Russo.

Their meeting is in no way favorable. Although Noel Kieran tried to reject him, as a mage and a magic-oriented being, he needs Ricky Kruger as much as he needs Mana. Things took a drastic turn when he couldn't return to his original world after he transgressed to Earth, leaving him with either to accept Ricky or not. His choice wavered when Ricky discovered who Noel truly is... (BROMANCE alert! Read at your own cost!)

Although the Supreme returns in order to pass his days peacefully, he was belittled by everyone. On his wedding day, with a wave of his arm, he summoned the Nine Great Gods of War to him, who addressed him as their master…

"I, Conrad Alaric, Alpha of the Shadow pack, break every bond that I share with you, and on this day reject you as my mate." Hearing his words caused my eyes to shut instantly, with the whimpering that went inside of me. My wolf was sad. But , it was that day I decided to take the change, the day I put an end to begging for his love. "And what makes you think that I will come back to you so easily?" "Because... Because I think I'm deeply in love with you now, Katherine."

Because of an accident during the hunt, I lose the chance to be "awakened". My wolf becomes badly damaged, and I'm forced to take the "inhibitor" injection to stay alive. I lose my strongest backing—my dad, the Alpha of the Argent Flame pack. After my dad's passing, his close friend, Ryder Wright, takes me to the Glace pack. As the Alpha and leader of the pack council, he can protect me. Meanwhile, my most trusted best friend steals the original draft I wrote when I was younger. The story goes viral among humans, and she becomes the most popular "werewolf literature" author. There's a charming Alpha in the story. He's her crush. Now, the three candidates of my marriage of convenience have been following her around, arguing about the real identity of her crush in the story. When I'm being mentioned, they seem irritated, and their tone is full of contempt. "How could she still think of marrying us when her wolf can never be awakened?" "Princess of the Argent Flame pack? Hah! She's nothing but a loser now!" "Why don't we try triggering her again? Maybe she'll go completely crazy if she loses control of her wolf." "Haha! Then none of us needs to marry her." I stand at the door, and the wolf hidden in me for years is awakening. They have no idea that the inhibitor has lost its effects, and my awakening is secretly happening. I've never loved any of them. They are merely pawns for me to pick. My phone rings, and it's a call from Ryder. "Aria, have you decided? Among the three candidates, who are you going to choose?" "Alpha Ryder, do I only have three choices?"
