Scheming Novels & Stories

"Why, Chelsea?" "What kind of reason do you want?" She forced herself to ignore the sharp sting on her wrist. Smiling slightly, she continued, "What we have is nothing but a consensual, transactional game. You need a young body to satisfy your biological needs, and I need your power to resolve my problems.

She is betting with two hundred thousand dollars. What is wrong with these people? I am brought back to the present as Stace squeezes my hand, and I drop my head and smile bashfully. I wonder what my facial expression just revealed to everyone surrounding us. This is so far from the life I had, some days I couldn’t even afford credit on my phone and would have to wait until payday to top it up.

Its Win or eliminate no walk” Arun said “That's nice we do need that push! We’ll manage it off don't worry” she said again patting his shoulders.

I beg you, don't cheat on me with other she-wolves. After assuring me that he would never cheat on me, Matthew proceeded to provide me with instructions regarding what I should communicate to the alpha king regarding my checkup. Matthew vowed that he would never deceive or cheat on me ever. "And while we're on the topic, make sure you tell the alpha king that I gave you some medication to speed up the process of getting pregnant so that you both could start a family as soon as possible. Also, make sure you take these vitamins regularly. In the event that he had any questions regarding the medicines."

That’s what I admire about Alphas, they’re predictable in their fury. And she is an Alpha born. She is angry, grieving as well, but she is going to rise stronger. Only, I am going to be sure that she chooses a different side this time, mine.” She looked away, frustrated. “You’re playing too close to the edge. If Xavier finds out…” “If?” I interrupted, raising a brow. “He will find out. Eventually. That’s the point.
