"I don't belong to you nor anyone, I have the right to my own body and can fuck who the fuck ever I want to !" I yelled suppressing the urges of pleasure that soared through me and in that instant, he ripped my dress apart. Ava's life took a drastic turn when she got sold off by her fiance into a contracted marriage to a ruthless Lycans Alpha who saw werewolves as weak beings. Going through stringent difficulties, she finds out that cruel fate at times, propels destinies to accomplishment.

Scarlett Carter had it all, wealth, status, and a husband she thought she could trust. But in a single moment, everything crumbled. Her husband betrayed her. Her best friend stole her life. Her stepbrother took everything she built. And now, pregnant and penniless, she’s nothing more than a scandalous headline. Just when she thinks she’s lost it all, Adrian Carter appears. The black sheep of the Carter dynasty. The vengeful older brother Daniel erased and despised. A man with power, money, and a vendetta just as deep as hers. Adrian offers her a deal, help him destroy those who made him an outsider, and in return she’ll get protection for her baby and revenge against those who hurt her . But revenge comes at a cost. As Scarlett steps into Adrian’s world, she’s no longer the woman they left behind, she becomes something far more dangerous, stopping at nothing to get her own pound of flesh. And when passion ignites between them, the lines between vengeance and desire blur. She was once the billionaire’s placeholder bride. Now? She’ll be the one to burn his empire to the ground.

—Señora Sterling, ¿está segura de que quiere terminar con este matrimonio de veinte años y renunciar a la custodia? —Sí. Inicie el trámite. Ya tuve suficiente —respondí con calma por teléfono mientras tallaba una mancha de grasa difícil en la isla de granito. Durante veinte años, me entregué a esta familia. Me hice cargo de las casas, de la educación de los niños y me mantuve al lado de mi esposo, apoyando su ascenso en el sindicato sin quejarme nunca. Pero mi esposo, Alexander, llevó a Chloe, su joven hermana adoptiva, a la entrevista y dijo: —Todo mi éxito se lo debo a mi hermana. Incluso mis propios hijos me menospreciaban; decían que yo era una simple ama de casa, alguien corriente. Se habían aliado con su eterna “tía”, esa mujer que parecía creerse la verdadera señora de la casa. Firmé los papeles del divorcio y me fui, dejándolos para que se convirtieran en la “familia perfecta” que tanto querían. Pero fue entonces cuando todos entraron en pánico…

Anya Who would have thought turning 21 would change my life and send me into the depths of hell and into the arms of a bad man. A very bad man who has a vendetta against my father. He can never know who I am or my life is over before it even begins. I'm kidnapped during my birthday celebration and tossed into the underground of a hotel to be auctioned off, then bought by the very same man who would love to watch me bleed. I do the only thing I can - fake it, if only to survive one more night. I tell him my name is Anika and he seems to buy my excuses. But how long can I hide behind a mask and how long before he learns of my true identity and brutalizes me for revenge? I'll pay for my father's sins. Maybe even with my life. *** Bastien I've never claimed to be a good man. I trade in the dark; anything, save for humans, can be up for sale to the highest bidder. The king of the black market, this city is my playground. All until tonight... All until her… The auction is held at my hotel once every four months with one iron clad rule in place: no trafficking. So to say that I'm shocked to find her on my stage amongst the goods like a precious lamb to the slaughter is putting it lightly. I had to buy her to appease one of my biggest clients, but the more I look at her, the more I realise… That I want her to be mine alone. But who is this little doll truly and why did she end up on my stage, ready to be sold to the highest bidder?

Tras la gran guerra entre humanos, vampiros, hombres lobo y elfos, se hizo un acuerdo que estipula que una descendencia híbrida sería la designada a gobernar el mundo. Cada siglo, las alianzas matrimoniales entre humanos y esos tres clanes decidían quién sería el próximo gobernante. Quien diera a luz al primer hijo híbrido reclamaría el poder para su linaje. En mi vida anterior, elegí casarme con Jax, el hijo mayor de la manada de hombres lobo, conocido por su férrea lealtad. Di a luz a nuestro hijo híbrido, un cachorro de pelaje blanco al que llamamos Zeal. Nuestro hijo se convirtió en el próximo gobernante mundial, y Jax obtuvo un poder inmenso. Mi hermana había codiciado la belleza de los elfos y se había casado con alguien de su clan. Pero sucedió que el príncipe elfo se acostó con todas las hembras del bosque. Finalmente, mi hermana contrajo una enfermedad que la dejó estéril. Celosa y amargada, provocó un incendio que nos quemó vivos a mí y a mi cachorro. Y entonces, volví a abrir los ojos. Estaba de vuelta en el día de las alianzas raciales. Sin embargo, mi hermana ya se había acostado con Jax primero. Sabía que ella también había renacido. Sin embargo, lo que ella no sabía era que Jax se comportaba brutalmente salvaje con sus compañeras, habiendo destrozado a innumerables lobas en su cama durante su periodo de celo. Y lo que tampoco nadie se esperaba era que, en esta nueva vida, yo eligiera a mi prometido en el más infame de los clanes. Elegí desposar a nada más y nada menos que el Lord del clan de los vampiros.

My boyfriend pulled in two million a year. He told me that once he'd banked five hundred thousand, he'd invest in my gallery. Year one, he said the startup was bleeding money; he hadn't saved a cent. Year two, he needed a new car to keep up appearances; no funds for me. By year five, he was on his private yacht brokering a major deal and told me not to bother him. I stood outside the cabin door and listened to the laughter rolling out from inside. "If Celeste wanted to open a gallery, Eth would write her a million-dollar check without blinking." "Hell yeah. If Celeste hadn't gone abroad back then, that knockoff he's got now wouldn't even be in the picture." Ethan's voice drifted through the crack in the door, lazy, dismissive. "Enough. Emily's been with me five years. I'll still put something in for her." "She's a free drafting machine. She's not worth five hundred grand. One day's revenue at the firm, maybe. Call it round. Two thousand bucks." My eyes burned. I pulled out my phone and called the one man Ethan hated most in all of New York, Adrian Sterling. "Mr. Sterling. That partnership agreement you offered me? I'm signing it first thing tomorrow morning."

After four years with Killian, I got pregnant. I took the pregnancy test and my ID to a private hospital to set up a file, but when entering insurance information, I was stopped by the blonde administrative specialist. "Mrs. Smith, the system shows there is a problem with your marital status." She looked at me awkwardly. "Your marriage to Mr. Killian is not legally effective." I was stunned and instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. We registered in Las Vegas, all the procedures were..." "There is only an application record, no final signed effective document." The specialist turned the screen around and tapped the keyboard a few times. "Moreover, Mr. Killian's legal wife... shows another lady's name." That name was like a thorn, piercing fiercely into my retina. Elena. Killian's personal secretary, and also publicly recognized as the benefactor who saved his life in the Alps avalanche five years ago. I felt all the blood in my body flowing backward. How could it be her?

Five years ago, Damon Thorne publicly severed the mate bond and personally sent Elara Rivers to prison. On the day of her release, Damon grabbed Elara at the hospital: "Your sister Isabella has been in a car accident and needs a kidney transplant, so give her your kidney." Elara was born with a congenital heart disease, and the kidney donation would have cost her life. She refused, but he used every means to force her. On the day of the surgery, her heart suddenly stopped, and the rescue efforts were ineffective. Reportedly, the man who desperately wished for Elara's death cried at her grave day and night. Later, he saw her again, and she had already married The Alpha King Lucian (also Damon's half-brother), holding a five-year-old child, and had become Lucian's cherished and adored young wife. Damon: "I know I was wrong, please come back to me." Lucian :"Get out of here, she is my one and only Luna."

Dylan is a rich spoiled brat with evil mind. He was forced by his parents to get married to a girl with a strong background. Dylan was least interested to get marry to her until he got to know about his family's dark secret. Adira, on the other hand , loves to live a simple life. She looks innocent by face but in reality she is beauty with brain. She knows how to deal in any situation and also to handle after facing betrayal. What will happen when Dylan marry to her for the sake of his family and later Adira comes to know about his reason of getting married to her and that too when he started to feel for her. Will Adira forgive him or leave him. Will they be able to feel the true love in their lives.

After five years of being mated to Alpha Lucas, I finally got pregnant. Lucas and I were ecstatic, but five months into the pregnancy, I suffered an accidental miscarriage. The Chief Healer told me it was because my wolf was too weak. I couldn't handle the news and blacked out. The usually stoic Alpha couldn't stop weeping. I thought he was as devastated as I was. That was until I accidentally overheard his conversation with his Beta. "Alpha, why gag the healer? Luna clearly ingested Wolfsbane. Why aren't we hunting down the culprit?" Beta Marcus's voice was full of confusion. "We bury this." Lucas's voice was heavy with suppressed pain. "It was Isabella. She slipped Wolfsbane into Emily's tonic by mistake. Isabella suffered severe brain damage saving me three years ago; she has the mind of a five-year-old. She can't tell the difference between Wolfsbane and Moon Grass..." "She just wanted to help brew the tonic to help Emily get better, to make me happy. But if the Council catches wind of this, they will absolutely execute Isabella for murdering the Alpha heir." Ever since Isabella saved his life three years ago and became mentally regressed, she had shamelessly invaded our lives. On stormy nights, she would crawl into Lucas's bed wearing translucent lingerie, crying that she was scared, forcing Lucas to hold her all night while I was relegated to the guest room. He always said Isabella was brain-damaged, stuck with the IQ of a five-year-old, just like a child. He treated her like a sister and told me not to hold it against her. Since you loved your Isabella so much, I would grant you your wish. I picked up the private phone I hadn't used in five years. "I regret it. I'm willing to return to the Royal Pack. Come get me tomorrow." But when I truly disappeared, the once arrogant Alpha killed his precious Isabella and begged me to come back.
