'No matter if I am there with you or not, don't let anything get you. Just close your eyes, think about me, and persist. You are a female-wolf, Lisa, and a female can do anything if she determines it.' ~~~ It was Lisa's Twenty-first birthday when all the hell broke loose. Her parents, Alpha king and Luna queen died a painful death while saving her. Her brother, Sebestian, threw himself at the mercy of the enemies so that she escaped from their filthy clutches. They wanted her. All of them in the pack wanted her after the ambushment of her father's rule. And to protect herself, Lisa kept running away— until she fell in the arms of Alpha Alan, the strongest alpha of the continent who disguised himself as a rogue to keep her protected. But after months of saving her, he willingly let her be taken away. What made him take such a decision? He knew she was in danger, then why did he let her slip away out of the warmth of his protection and fall back in the hell she's been running away from?

“Mummy, Is the President our daddy?” Layla asked curiously, head tilted sideways. Her brothers listened in attentively, obviously wanting a response. I forced out a chuckle as I crouched low before her to cup her soft cheeks. “Honey, the president isn’t your daddy. The President is a very wicked person.” “But, we met him today and he was very polite. He even complimented my hair.” Layla continued earnestly and my heart hammered against my chest violently “Cupcakes, whenever you run into the President; stay away from him because he’s very cruel, okay?” The triplets’ eyes were wide as they hastily nodded their heads, and I pulled them into a long hug. They had no idea the President had once wanted them dead without second thoughts. I’ve sworn to protect them with my life since I had them. No one’s going to take them away from me. Not even their vile father, the President! ~~~ Zendaya Montclair unwillingly got into a contract marriage with the President and suffered a great deal in the marriage– from having to break up with her high school sweetheart because of the marriage, to depression, to public humiliation– to her ex-boyfriend whom she was still in love with, getting married to her supposed best friend. Zendaya was heartbroken. She got drunk that night and spent it in her husband’s bed, which instantly led to an accidental pregnancy. The President wanted her to get rid of the pregnancy because he never saw her as a mother of his future children and only a wife of convenience. That was the last straw. Zendaya left everything behind and fled, promising herself to come back for revenge on every single person who had wronged her. Including the President, she was going to make him pay!

“Reject me!” She begs. “Reject me now!” His eyes are on the pitiful girl who is on her knees, begging for rejection. Her desperate tone makes his heart ache. He will do anything for this woman. Kiss her, love her and kill anyone for her. But reject? “You are stuck with me, my dear,” his silky voice resonates in her ears. His handsome face leans close, his scarlet eyes locked into hers.
