All because the Omega he claimed was "like a sister" to him always managed to faint at just the "right" moment. At the 99th ceremony, that Omega got "hurt" again. "I swear I'll complete the marking next time," Kaelen said, scooping up the other she-wolf without a backward glance. I burned the Luna gown I'd worn 99 times and changed back into my royal princess dress from the Moonshadow Realm. Then severed my mate bond and walked away without a second glance.

I just have one job: protect her. That’s it. But Aubrey Campbell… she’s my obsession. She’s my best friend’s little sister, sweet, innocent, untouchable. Totally off-limits.

They call him 'playboy' and 'fuckboy'. Well, Matteo is just doing what he wants and get what he wants. And nothing is more interesting than girls pussies. And there is one rule for every girl he bedded-- NO AFTERS. Not his fault if they left crying and heart broken after their steamy make out. He never beg for it, they willingly surrendered their bodies. Not until he met this gorgeous woman in a nightclub in New York while he is on hiatus from modeling. The woman rejected him at first but he did not let her pass. And when he thought he wins, the woman ran away after and he felt very insulted. No one did this to him before! How could a waitress ran away from an idol like him? But he just smirk. He is Matteo, and what he wants, he gets. He will make her fall to her knees and beg for his touches.

My husband and his employees went on a camping trip, and his assistant posted on social media. [We drew lots for the tents, and guess who ended up with the handsome CEO!] The post showed a selfie she took. Behind her, my husband was taking his shirt off. Someone left a comment. [A man and a woman alone together? Sounds juicy.] The assistant quickly replied with a smirking emoji. [I like a little excitement!] After I liked the post, it was deleted right away. Soon, my husband called me on video. In front of his crying assistant and several employees, he scolded, “Why did you like the post?! It was just a game! Don’t be so close-minded!” As I watched him hold the assistant in arms and comforted her, I quietly hung up. After ten years of loving Caelan Sullivan, I decided then and there to let go.
