Novel & Cerita Ruthless Rival Lj Shen

"I will take her in exchange," Alpha Dante declared, and the ball room instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to the said girl. Whispers filled the ballroom, although it was rather useless since everyone could hear them clearly with their heightened senses. Rhea, the object of discussion, stood there in tattered clothes, confused and seemingly lost. She never wanted to draw so much attention to herself, but here she was with everyone's eyes on her because of a single statement from one man. "I am sorry, Alpha Dante, you must be mistaken, that is not my daughter..." Alpha Collins said but was rudely interrupted by Alpha Dante. "She is the one I want,” Alpha Dante said coldly. “Give her to me or forget about our deal.” ***** Born a mix of blood, half vampire, and half werewolf, Rhea was neither considered a werewolf nor a vampire. Just someone who wasn't needed. Someone who shouldn't exist. Someone whose existence was an abomination. Her father's absence in her life and her mother's passing rendered Rhea homeless, nowhere to go, and no one to turn to. She is forced to fend for herself from an early age, serving as a maid in the packhouse despite being hated and scorned by all. Dante, an alpha whose path had always been painted Scarlet, cursed by the moon goddess, walked a lone and bloodied path. He never asked for a mate and never wanted one after all. He was cursed by the very entity their race worships. He never thought he needed one until he met her. For the first time, he felt his heart waver, his silent beast stirred in the presence of another and definitely not out of hostility.

I caught my boyfriend in bed with my sister on the night he was supposed to mark me. Five years. Gone in thirty seconds. I ran into the forest. I was drowning in grief, burning with heat, and completely alone. A stranger found me in the dark. Massive. Dangerous. Eyes like molten gold. He marked me before either of us could think straight, and when I woke up, he was already gone. Now my pack calls me ruined. My father gives me thirty days to find a husband or face exile. The only wolf willing to take me is the most feared Alpha on the continent. Cold. Ruthless. Rumored to have slaughtered an entire pack with his bare hands. He looks at me like I am nothing. But his eyes are gold. The exact same gold as the stranger who marked me in the dark. The exact same gold that haunts my dreams. He knows who I am. He knows what happened in the forest. So why is he pretending we've never met?

A contract bride, a father's life saved, but she hides a heartbreaking secret: a son, the spitting image of him. How will a year-long contract end when the shadow of old vengeance threatens to expose the truth?
