Jake replied with a sheepish grin. “See?” Daniel gave him a cocky grin. “ This is why you should calm down. Your blood is just boiling for nothing.” “Buzz off.” Jake frowned, pushing his friend slightly. They faced the screen and resumed their game. “ Alright. If you have the guts,don't use Shao Khan..or Goro.” “Alright then.” Daniel laughed. He selected Sub zero while Jake chose Scorpion. “Perfect.” Jake smiled evilly. “Let the real game begin.”

Why?” “Why not?” she whispered from the corner of her mouth. “Every other choice was useless, I couldn’t give it to Shewa because she is a class below you and you were the only other manageable option.” I rolled my eyes. “I am so pleased to be the manageable option, it is an honor, Annabel Reed, to be your second choice.” She laughed and nudged my arm. “Oh, shut up. You deserve this.” In the crowd I saw Christian wave to try and catch my attention, he smiled and gave me too thumbs up. I smiled back.

Well alpha Leonard was the strongest of them all but he grew weak when he found his mate, Felicia cracks. She made him too emotional. He had helped Queen Agatha get rid of Felicia by filling her in on all the information she needed even about the baby she was having. "Wait a minute! Didn't that boy say he's Jaden cracks?

There is also an option for a man with no fingers and a man who is castrated and finger-less. The choice is always yours to make.

Three years together. Lucian proposed seventy-seven times. Aurelia said no every single time. The entire family called her ungrateful. How dare she reject the Underboss? But Aurelia knew the truth. Lucian never wanted to marry her in the first place. The first three times, she said yes. She took the ring with tears in her eyes. Each time, his face turned to ice. "A proper woman doesn't give in so easily," he scoffed. She took the hint. She handed the ring back and said no. Only then did his warm smile return. Then came year three.
