Odd Man Out Meaning

When I hear my boyfriend, Terence Bowen, is trapped in a house fire, I immediately rush back to save him. However, after dragging him out with all my strength, I realize it's just a dummy. Laughter erupts from the house next door. "Ariana Brock is such a fool! She fell for it again!" Through a half-open window, I spot Terence lounging on the couch, casually scrolling through his phone. He looks completely fine. "That's the 47th prank we've pulled on her. Three more to go and we're done." "Serves her right. She shouldn't have stolen Bethany Howard's scholarship. Bethany is the one Terence actually cares about. That's why he decided to fake a relationship with Ariana to get revenge 50 times over. Too bad the game will end soon." I bend over, gasping for air. All this time, the relationship I've worked so hard to protect is nothing but a game to them.

Betrayed by the man she called her mate, her friend and her parents throwing her out, Calla Spencer only has one thing in mind, and that’s getting revenge: She has given up on love completely until she met the alpha king. Would she love him like he loves her? Or just use him to complete her revenge?

Adrianna is an ordinary college student who's trying to get through her life by working part-time. Isang araw ng pagdalaw niya sa kaniyang ina ay kinagiliwan siya agad ni Madam Polly, ang ina ni Axl Genesis. She offered her to work for Axl. Ang akala niyang masaya at simpleng unang araw sa trabaho bilang secretary ni Axl ay nauwi sa isang pangyayari na lubos niyang pinagsisihan. She became a witness of a crime done inside the Genesis Office. And became the suspect for it. She did everything to prove that she's innocent. In the end, she has to stay with Axl, in his condo unit so she can prove she is innocent. Axl made sure she's safe as a witness and secured as a suspect as well. And he made sure she stays with him while the investigation is on going. The investigation and Adrianna's work with him was a rollercoaster ride. Unti-unti niyang nakilala si Axl. She found out why Axl became aloof, she found out why it was hard for him to trust people. Hindi nagtagal, nalaman niyang nahuhulog na rin siya rito. With her status in life and Axl's wealth, alam niyang imposible silang dalawa. She left for Axl's sake, to save his name and his family. But Axl didn't want it that way. He's willing to fight for her, he's willing to face all the problems as long as she's with him. Adrianna realized that she can do the same, that she can protect him and love him while they're fighting for each other. They are willing to prove that there's no such thing as meant to be, that there's no such thing as destiny, because you can be with someone as long as you want to be together. We create our own destiny.

After being forced to donate the blood from my heart to my Alpha's beloved witch, I die in the cottage that he'd built for me. Before my death, my five-year-old daughter runs to the castle in the forest to beg him thrice. The first time, she runs into the study and tells him I'm coughing up blood. My mate, Alpha Alaric sneers. "Is this one of Clara's new tricks? I can't believe she taught a child to lie!" He orders his attendant to take our daughter away. The second time, she knocks on the door cautiously and tells him I'm trembling all over. Alaric snorts contemptuously. "What's with the act? All I did was take some of her blood, not gouge her heart out. She'll heal on her own soon enough!" Once again, his attendant chases our daughter out. The third time, she kneels by the study door and weeps, saying that I'm already unconscious. She begs Alaric to save me. This time, he gets mad. He grabs her by the arm and throws her out of the castle. "I told you your mother won't die! Lie to me again, and I'll kick her out of the Wolffang Pack. She can die at the hands of those Rogues!" He breaks her arm in the process, and she clutches it. She has no choice but to pass the family heirloom—a ring—that represents her identity as the Wolffang Pack's heiress to a passing merchant. "I can give you everything valuable I have, Mr. Merchant! I don't want to be an heiress—I just want my mother to stay alive!" The merchant accepts the ring and soon brings a herbalist. However, Alaric's beloved witch, Elena has him taken away. "Sorry, but your father is worried that I'll be upset because my darling black cat is sick. He's ordered all of the herbalists in the pack to focus on treating my cat first." She snorts. "Your mother can wait."

In that little town on the island, there was one family more rich and powerful than the rest, the Dankworths. And Jana knew that all too well. She was a pretty fifteen-year-old girl from the other side of town. Her family were outcasts, nobodies, seen as part of the lowlifes. But even so, she had eyes only for Lawrence Dankworth, one of the Dankworth sons. He became the center of her universe, though she had to keep it a secret. If people ever found out about her ultimate crush on him, she would become the laughingstock of the town. Lawrence held nothing but hatred for her family. It even came to the point where he showed up at their home and ordered them to leave. She was too shocked to comprehend the hatred in his eyes, too stunned as their house burned under his command, before she could even pack what little they owned. They had no choice but to leave the island. But Jana carried the memory of that day deep in her heart. Years passed. And now, she has decided to return.
