Just because I point out a mistake in the intern, Lester Hale's proposal that can cost the company millions of dollars, he feels embarrassed and goes straight to Sandra Wendell, the CEO, threatening to quit. The next second, she storms into my office and starts grilling me. "Couldn't you have spoken to him privately? Lester's young, and his ego's fragile. Why did you have to humiliate him in front of everyone? Don't forget, his dad's a major shareholder. I'm giving you two options now. "One, I'll promote Lester, give him a raise, and you'll become his assistant. That way, I'll agree to officially announce our relationship. Two, keep acting like this, and we break up." When I remain silent, she smirks triumphantly. "I knew you'd never pass up a chance to go public with our relationship. Now, you can clear your office for Lester. Later—" But I calmly cut her off, "Sorry, but I choose the second option, and I'm resigning. I wish you and Lester a happily ever after."

As the daughter of the Silvermane Pack's strongest Alpha, I was born with two enviable protectors. My brother, Adrian, couldn't bear to see me get a single scratch, and my mate, Liam, couldn't stand to see me shed a single tear. But at my transformation ceremony, Iris, an exile's daughter, stole the Moon Goddess Potion that was meant for me. She shifted first, becoming a rare, pure white wolf and capturing the awe of the entire pack. I only confronted her about it, yet my brother handed me over to enemy rogues as a bargaining chip for a truce. And my mate used wolfsbane to block my transformation, stealing my last chance to fight back. With their silent consent, I was tortured by my enemies until death was a mercy. Before I died, one of the rogues gloated, "So what if your father exiled me? My daughter, Iris, will soon be their Luna. The entire Silvermane Pack will be mine!" I died, consumed by hatred. When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn on the day of my transformation ceremony. Eyeing the preening white wolf before me, I sneered. "Guards! Shave all her fur!"

“Please…” Ariana whispered, her hands shaking as the marriage contract was pushed in front of her. “You can’t sell me to him.” “You should be grateful,” her stepmother snapped. “A man like Alpha Kael could’ve chosen anyone.” The room went silent when the door opened. Heavy footsteps crossed the floor slowly. Ariana looked up for the first time and wished she hadn’t. The man standing there didn’t look human. Tall, Cold, Dressed in black. His presence alone made the air feel thinner. Alpha Kael stopped in front of her. “So this is the girl,” he said. Ariana lowered her eyes quickly. “I didn’t kill anyone,” she whispered. Kael gave a short laugh. “That’s interesting,” he said. “Because I haven’t told you what crime you committed yet.” Her breath caught. “From today onward,” he continued, “you will live in my house, follow my rules, and pray I never discover the full truth about you.” Ariana swallowed hard. “And if you do?” Kael stared at her for a moment before answering. “Then your death will be the kindest thing I give you.”
