The Smiling Proud Wanderer の小説・ストーリー

I was only ten years old when Timoteo Panno found me on the streets of Sirithi. He's the Don of the Panno family, the strongest mafia family in the country. He's also the one who taught me how to protect myself. When I turn 18 years old, I become his lover as well as the weapon he's most proud of. Timoteo isn't interested in other women. I'm the only one staying by his side for many years. We've been with each other for four years. Everyone thinks I'll eventually become the Madre of the Panno family. That is, until Nadia Bellucci accidentally kills her fiance and desperately needs a clean identity to wash herself of all suspicions. As she clutches her chest that houses her heart, which is now weakened from the time she has saved Timoteo's life, she whines coquettishly, "Timoteo, I don't want to go to prison…" With a smile on his face, Timoteo doesn't hesitate to push me out as the scapegoat to take the blame for Nadia. "You've always been a pawn who gets abandoned all the time, so you might as well do it one more time."

Freya Garrick has spent twenty-five years of her life believing werewolves are monsters. Her hunter father trained her to become a werewolf hunter like him while harboring the belief that they killed her mother. She lived her everyday life like this with her father and bethrothed, hunter Lucian, until they heard of a new feral Alpha in Eryndor—Alpha Torin— He’s dark, vicious, and untouchable. He’s avenging his brother’s death and ordered for humans to be captured. Freya was among these humans, but she disguised as a man to get her way through him and kill him. But fate delivers a fatal twist: Alpha Torin is her mate. How could a human be fated to a wolf? She didn’t live long to know because she was killed by his Luna out of pure jealousy. Freya died only to be reborn as a dangerous and cursed hybrid. The kind of creature even Alphas fear. Now she must find out about her real identity, and also either make her father proud, or fall in love with the ruthless Alpha. “She’s a cursed hybrid,” the pack witch warned. “And she is not to be mated.” — What happens when the Alpha couldn’t stop his endless craving for her?

My mother married the ruthless Alpha King, but my fairytale ended the exact second his three monstrous, breathtaking sons cornered me in the dark. I was destined to become a proud Luna who would rule over her domain. Instead, I became a secret captive in my own home. My stepbrothers who want to use my family danger as bargaining power to take my rightful title from me. They hate my ancestry yet they have developed a complete obsession with controlling my behavior which forces me to participate in their twisted survival game where I must meet their deepest needs to survive till morning. The eldest brother—my own fated mate—looks me in the eye and publicly rejects me in front of the entire pack just to break my spirit. They think I am completely ruined. They believe that I exist as a delicate, shattered object who has become ensnared in their seductive, perilous net. But they are dead wrong. Every time I face rejection, every time I get ordered to do something humiliating, and every time someone touches me in secret, these experiences awaken the ancient power of my inner wolf. They believed that by breaking a Luna they could take her crown, but I will rise from the ashes and make all three of my tormentors bow at my feet.

" "If she ever found out that you're the loan shark and own the bar she stripped at… She'd probably drop dead from anger right there and then!" another chimed in.

At the contract-signing meeting, a major client casually asks our new technician if she can handle her alcohol. She immediately pours a glass of red wine over his head and says coolly, "This sort of socializing is a bad habit. I'm putting an end to it." Leon Langley, a top client who brings the company 300 million dollars in annual revenue, flies into a rage and tears up the contract on the spot. As the project lead, I bend over backward to apologize and drink with Mr. Langley until I'm hospitalized with gastric bleeding—just to salvage the deal. When I report the incident to my boss, he scolds me instead. "As the person in charge, you nearly ruined the project. Forget the three-million-dollar commission we planned to give you. Consider this a warning." After that, I put Hannah Storrie's name on the department's downsizing review list. She sneers. "I'm a top talent the boss poached at great expense. I'm not some cheap hostess who survives by smiling and drinking like you. "Firing me would be throwing the company down the drain. When that happens, you'll be begging me to come back." I ignore her. However, when the review period ends, the name on the layoff list turns out to be mine. My boss seizes the opportunity to announce that Hannah will replace me as the new sales director. "Clients are extremely important to us. You don't seriously think you're capable of landing them, do you? "Hannah's is more qualified, more tech-savvy, and prettier than you. She's clearly the better choice." I simply smile, turn around, and dial a number.
