Addison wakes up thinking this day is going to be like any other, but soon she finds out her uncle has other plans: she is going to marry King Gregory Dominis, the most handsome yet intimidating man she has ever met and the ruler of a far away kingdom. Now she is going to be the wife of a man that terrifies her and the queen of a place she knows nothing about. ******* excerpt ******* “I have great news for you, Addison,” he announced. “You are to be married today!” At first, his words made no sense, how could I be getting married today if wasn’t even engaged? I didn’t even have a suitor! “Ma… married?” I babbled. “Yes, don’t you know what married means? I don’t understand why you look so baffled, girls your age marry all the time!” He exclaimed. The king was right, it wasn’t unusual for girls my age to get married in Lerene, but they were usually informed in advance, not the very same day of the wedding. “But… today? It is so soon…” I mumbled. “I know, but the groom is a busy man who has no time for a long engagement,” he said. His reply made me realize I hadn’t asked the most basic question. “Who is the groom?” “I am glad you asked, Addison, because that is the best part,” he said smirking. “You are to be married to King Gregory Dominis of Dranda.” My heart sinked into my stomach. I felt like I was going to get sick. Did he just say I was going to marry King Gregory Dominis? How could I marry a man I have never met? And he was not just any man but a king!

El padre de Regina Morales le fue infiel a su esposa. Hundida en la depresión, su madre se quitó la vida. La amante, junto con sus dos hijos, no tardó en ocupar su lugar en la casa. Desamparada, Regina fue acogida por la mejor amiga de su madre y creció bajo el mismo techo que Maximiliano Valderrama. Amigos desde la infancia, su cariño parecía destinado a convertirse en amor. Pero el destino le tenía preparada una cruel sorpresa: el día de su vigésimo segundo cumpleaños, Maximiliano, el hombre con quien creía que se casaría, anunció públicamente su relación... abrazando a la que consideraba su mejor amiga. Para Regina, solo quedó la humillación de convertirse en prácticamente una hermana, y en el hazmerreír de todos. Descubrió que, para Maximiliano, nunca fue más que una carga, una presencia pegajosa e indeseada. Él y su círculo de amigos siempre la habían menospreciado. Todos le aconsejaban ser razonable, y no agotar la poca consideración que aún le tenían. Su supuesta amiga, con fingida servidumbre, incluso se ofrecía a presentarle otros hombres. Harta del maltrato, Regina decidió poner la mira en el inalcanzable Gabriel Solís. Precisamente el hombre que su examiga anhelaba en vano. Gabriel no solo era una eminencia como jefe de cirugía cardíaca, sino también el heredero de la familia más influyente de la Ciudad de México, los Solís. Además, resultaba ser otro conocido de la infancia de Regina y, para complicar más las cosas, el objeto del deseo de su propia hermanastra. Gabriel Solís detestaba la actitud caprichosa y altanera de Regina, su aparente falta de amor propio y su evidente actitud manipuladora. Sin embargo, la joven poseía una belleza radiante y una atracción innegable que lo cautivaba. En un momento, él dejó de ser sólo un caballero. La atracción física fue la carnada; entró en su juego y quedó atrapado, hundiéndose cada vez más. Al final, su único destino sería rendirse por completo a ella.

Going through a foolish and stupid night with Cedric. Two months later, she tests positive for pregnancy. Her career, position, and financial stability are now at stake. What other misfortunes will Anya Joice face? Oh, here's one more. This is the worst. "Please, don't do anything foolish again. I just want, Mrs. Anya, to be healthy. Whatever burdens you, let me shoulder them. Because inside you, there is my child. I beg you, Ma'am." Cedric's words continue to resonate, making her reevaluate her initial idea of terminating the fetus she's carrying.

“Your name?” a woman who’s wearing a dress, has pale lips and short hair asked me. I stuttered. “L-Livia Washington, ma’am,” I answered. “My husband and I can’t produce a child. I need your help and in exchange, I will reward you with money at your price. Just help me…” she said, her face screaming desperation and almost pleading. Without further hesitation, I nodded my head. “Just tell me what you want me to do, Ma’am…” I didn’t know that an offer I would be accepting would ruin the pipe dream I yearned for. Money. I need money. Surrogacy is the only quick way to get a billion dollars just like what they offered. However, things didn’t go the way I liked. “You came out with a woman again?” I busted out in anger after waiting for Archer to come home. He only scoffed, he was supposed to come upstairs yet I held his hand. “Just to remind you, Archer, you still have a wife waiting for you!” His jaw clenched then took his arms roughly. “Then you should have thought of your husband before cheating on me, and bearing someone else’s child, then, Livia!” he backfired, critically narrowing his eyes on mine. Being married to Archer for five years never became easy. I’m tired of it and was tormented with the punishment he had given to me. “A divorce won’t happen, Livia. I won’t give you the freedom you want. This is your punishment,” he narrowed his rough, stoic voice before coming to his room directly.

After getting into an accident, I pretend to be an amnesiac to pull a prank on my husband and son. "Who are you guys?" I ask. A hint of delight flickers in my son's eyes. He pulls a woman waiting outside the hospital ward inside and says, "My parents and I came to visit you, ma'am." My husband watches all of this happen without saying a word. He doesn't correct our son.

La légende prétend qu'il existait un monde merveilleux, un lieu magique où humains et créatures surnaturelles vivaient en paix. Un clan de puissantes sorcières aux yeux d'or y maintenait l'équilibre, jusqu'à ce qu'un mage au cœur aussi sombre que l'obsidienne le décime lors d'une nuit sanglante. L'harmonie rompue, le monde bascula dans le chaos. Le mal y règne désormais en maître, obligeant les êtres magiques à se cacher et les humains à se battre pour leur survie. Mais l'espoir revient lorsque l'Oracle prédit le retour des sorcières aux yeux d'or, car l'une d'elles a survécu au massacre. Une jeune fille prénommée Elena.

Kristof is the Alpha of White Claw Pack and heir to the Kingdom of the Grey Moon. He finds his true mate one night in a werewolf owned nightclub, a human named Aláine. She is everything he would want in a mate and future Luna, but he has to take the relationship slowly, so he doesn't scare her away. Aláine will have to deal with becoming a werewolf and abduction by an evil and crazed werewolf before finally taking her place as Luna. She will need to look within herself and find that inner strength to overcome all of this and more. Background: In this world, werewolf law states that only humans who are fated mates may be turned into werewolves and only with consent. There are three Kingdoms in the world and are ruled by those who are direct descendants of King Leto. Only these direct descendants have white fur tinged with a golden colour. There are some pure wolf-born packs who refuse to mate with humans for they feel it will dilute the pureness of that line. If they find that their fated mate is a human, they will either reject or kill that human, and choose another mate. Werewolves have three aspects: They appear human, but still have wolf-like powers. They are usually taller and stronger than most humans. They have a Lycan aspect and a wolf aspect. Both of these aspects are large creatures.
