To Be Hero X Chapter 1

I, Lucas Roar, reject you, Avery Williams, as my mate.” The second I was rejected by my mate, Lucas William, nephew of the Alpha, I lost all hope, the bond caused my wolf to be unconscious. Nobody wanted me as a mate, or even a chosen mate, Except the man who had seen me naked. I just found out. He is the Alpha of the Pack, worse he is Lucas’s uncle. “You like that, don’t you?” He breathes into my ear. “You’re sweet, light, and good.” He leaned closer, his fingers tips over my jawline. “But you want the darkness, you crave it and I’m going to give it to you.” His eyes fell on my lips, and I swallowed hard in anticipation of his next words. “Now, strip and get on your knees.” *** He is the handsome, sexy, and heartless devil. There’s more to the cold and calculating Alpha Vald Hector that meets the eye, a tragic past, hidden vulnerability, and a connection that feels impossible to ignore. She is the purest, innocent, and beautiful Avery Williams. The one who had become his obsession, he’s there. Waiting, and watching her every move.

The first time I lived, my sister and I found two dragon eggs. The black one pulsed with raw, untamed power. My sister, Isabella, claimed it without a second thought. The white one was left for me. A cracked, forgotten thing. It held only a whisper of magic. I took it out of pity. Within a year, the black dragon shattered his shell and emerged a man so beautiful it was a curse. He became Isabella's devoted weapon, his power forging her path to godhood. Meanwhile, the white egg fed on me. I poured everything I had into my white egg. My magic, my money, my soul. For ten long years, it gave me nothing. Everyone said to abandon it. But I couldn’t. I was an orphan, ignored by my sister. I just wanted a companion. But as the dark plague swept the lands, the egg I'd nurtured for a decade hatched overnight—while I was dying, he soared past me to save Isabella. He could have hatched years ago. Could have been human all along. But he chose Isabella. He mistook her for his savior. Then I was back to the day it all began. This time, Isabella lunged for the white egg first, afraid I'd take it. I slung my worn satchel of herbs over my shoulder. Turned my back on them both. "You can have them both," I said calmly. "I choose myself." This life, I swore I would have nothing to do with Adrian. But now, he's the one filled with regret, willing to give his own life just to have me look at him one more time.

Seraphina Vale signs a marriage contract she never planned to survive. Crushed by debt and desperate to save her family, she agrees to become the wife of Lucien Blackwood—a cold, powerful billionaire CEO who treats love like a weakness and marriage like a business transaction. Their deal is simple: a public marriage, a private arrangement, and absolutely no emotions involved. But living under the same roof exposes cracks neither of them expected. Lucien’s control begins to slip as desire turns possessive, and Seraphina finds herself drawn to a man who was never meant to feel anything at all. When the truth behind their contract threatens to destroy her reputation and his empire, Seraphina must choose between her dignity and the man who owns her signature—but not her heart. And Lucien must decide whether power is worth more than the one woman who became his greatest temptation. What started as a contract becomes a dangerous emotional trap—because some deals are signed in ink, and others are sealed in sin. She wasn’t hired to be his wife. She was signed to be his sin.
