Ray Dalio Principles

I was supposed to be his mate. His Luna. The woman he vowed to cherish. But under the silver glow of the full moon, **Alpha Cassian Blackwood rejected me.** In front of the entire pack, he shattered our bond like I was nothing. No explanation. No hesitation. Just a cold, brutal rejection that sent searing pain through my soul. I ran. What else could I do? But fate wasn’t done with me. Captured by rogues, I thought my life was over—until **Ronan Vale, their dangerously handsome Alpha, offered me a deal.** A contract marriage. Protection in exchange for my loyalty. A union that would make me untouchable. I should have refused. Instead, I let myself fall into the arms of a man who sees me not as weak, but as powerful. And he’s not the only one. **Kai, the brooding strategist with haunted eyes, and Luca, the charming beta with a deadly smile, both make it clear—Cassian may have rejected me, but I will never be unwanted again.** But now Cassian wants me back. **And he’s willing to start a war to claim me.** I should hate him. I should want revenge. But when I look into his stormy silver eyes, I feel the bond still there, fraying but unbroken. Now, the men around me are asking me to choose. **My past, or my future. My fate, or my freedom.** But no one has realized the truth yet. *I’m not the weak, rejected mate they thought I was.* And I will never be powerless again.

Camilla thought the worst day of her life was the day she was framed for cheating—and it only got worse when her contract husband, Lawrence, divorced her without giving her a chance to explain. But nothing could have prepared her for the final blow: walking in on Lawrence and her best friend tangled in bed. Betrayed, humiliated, and heartbroken, Camilla disappears from his life, vowing never to reveal the one secret that could tie them together forever—she's pregnant with his child. Years pass, and Camilla has rebuilt her life on her own terms. Now a respected surgeon, she's engaged to Raymond, a charming man who offers her stability and peace. But her carefully constructed world begins to crumble when Lawrence reappears—this time, as the powerful new owner of her hospital. He's no longer the man she remembers. And he wants her back. As buried truths resurface and past betrayals are unraveled, Camilla finds herself caught in a dangerous game of love, lies, and second chances. Lawrence’s love for her burns stronger than ever, but Raymond’s motives remain uncertain. When everything she thought she knew turns out to be a lie, Camilla must make an impossible choice: return to the man who shattered her, or risk everything on the one who’s never truly let her in.

“$100,000!” yelled a man with a golden tooth and a scar that looked like it had been carved by a bear. “$200,000!” “$300,000!” The numbers climbed, each one a nail on my coffin. “$1 million.” The entire room froze and practically everyone turned towards the deep commanding voice. "Going once... The Princess of Sinaloa, Sold for $1 million!" *************************** Lola Volcan lived as the princess of Sinaloa believing her family’s wealth came from tequila exports.

A common goal. A crossed fate. A deep and undeniable connection. A which with deep scars in her soul and heart, who run away from her ghosts and isolated herself from civilization so no one could harm her. A fae male with stronger principles who never consider himself when it comes to dangerous situations and helps the ones he loves the most.
