November 20 Zodiac

He’s the alpha king, my crush, my guardian. And he’s 20 years older than me. ** “How old are you?” “T-Twenty,” I bit my lower lip, stuttering on the lie. “I’m an adult.” I trembled but turned my head, allowing him to drag his nose along my neck and breathe in my scent. I didn’t know what I smelled like to him. Did I smell like I was lying? I held still. He shifted just a bit, seemingly retreating, and I flung my arms around his neck, holding him down. “Please, Alpha King,” I said. My voice trembled even as I tried to sound sultry. “I’m… sure I can please you.” “Do you know what happens when you lie to the Alpha King, little girl?” He knew. I should have known that he would know I wasn’t twenty. “You seem so deliberate, but I’m not interested in your offer. How about we play a game?” “A-A game?” He narrowed his eyes and gave me a slow, cruel smile. “If you win, I’ll grant you sanctuary.” My eyes widened with a spark of hope. “But if you lose….”

Rejetée depuis son enfance, elle est perçue comme une simple humaine malgré des signes étranges qui commencent à apparaître à l'âge de 18 ans. Elle ressent des douleurs inexpliquées et des visions de créatures mythologiques, mais n'a aucune idée de ce qui se cache réellement en elle.

Dès leur rencontre, une attraction irrésistible naît entre eux, mais ce n’est qu’après avoir senti son odeur particulière qu’ils réalisent qu’elle est leur âme sœur. Ils découvrent rapidement que Savannah est bien plus qu'elle ne l’imaginait : elle est à la fois mi-dragon et mi-loup, un être légendaire au pouvoir immense, une créature au cœur d’une ancienne prophétie.

My mother-in-law gets into an accident and is taken to the emergency room. I call my attorney husband, but he only answers after over 20 missed calls. "What are you on about this time? Gigi has a bit of a problem, and I'm helping her. Stop being unreasonable." I suppress my grievance and say, "Mom's gotten into an accident. Transfer 100 thousand dollars to me." However, he believes Gigi Norris' lies and snarls, "What does your mother getting into an accident have to do with me? Don't even think of getting money from me to provide for your family. Now, leave me alone. I'm busy!" He hangs up, and my mother-in-law dies. Three days later, I see my husband in court. Gigi has been taken to court for driving under the influence, and he's there to defend her. He speaks eloquently and manages to get her off based on a lack of evidence. I lose hope in him and ask him for a divorce once the court is out of session. That's when he panics. "Think about how well my mother treats you! You'll break her heart by divorcing me!" I sneer. I throw the hospital bill and death certificate in his face. The idiot doesn't even know he no longer has a mother!

Jenine Ysabelle Guevarra, a simple Senior High School teacher at De La Salle University, had a conservative and old-fashioned approach to life. This led to her first boyfriend leaving her for a wealthy, sexy, and liberated woman. Since then, Jenine had become aloof with men and hadn't found a boyfriend until she reached the age of 32. For her, it was better to stay single than to get hurt again. Fate, however, had other plans. Jenine was assigned to teach the worst ABM section, where she met Huxley Baltimore, the younger brother of the man who had broken her heart. Huxley was handsome, rich, arrogant, rebellious, and a troublemaker, feared by everyone. At 20 years old, he hadn't finished Senior High because he kept dropping out of school. Even with his antics, he couldn't be expelled from the university because his family owned it. From the very first day in Huxley's class, Jenine experienced the headaches of unruly and noisy students. This was a tremendous challenge to her profession, and she wouldn't give up until she tamed these spoiled brats. However, Huxley challenged not just her profession but also her heart, manipulating her for his own game to get her fired from the university. Jenine was about to be kicked out, but Huxley intervened, saying, "I'd rather be expelled from here than lose such an outstanding teacher."

In my previous life, everything I do to care for myself somehow ends up benefiting my new housekeeper instead. I apply expensive skincare, yet dark spots and fine lines spread across my face, whereas the 45-year-old housekeeper's face becomes silkier. I jog every morning, yet my body only grows heavier and bulkier, while hers becomes slender and toned. When my husband notices the stretch marks on my abdomen, his face twists with disgust, and he never touches me again. "I genuinely can't bring myself to touch you. How can you look worse than Mirabelle when you take such good care of yourself?" My housekeeper looks at me with a sinister smile. A chill crawls up my spine, and the strange feeling makes me fire her on the spot. Yet, as soon as she leaves, I start aging at lightning speed, entering menopause 20 years early and developing diabetes and high blood pressure. I see every doctor I can, but after hanging on for a week, I die from a stroke. When I open my eyes again, I'm back on the day she first reports to work. This time, I push away the royal jelly she sets in front of me with a pleasant smile. "I've been avoiding certain foods lately. You can have it instead."
