Us Presidents: William Mckinley (nonfiction)

I was sold to a monster to pay off a debt that was never mine. He’s a cold-blooded mafia boss with a vendetta burning through his veins. To him, I’m the daughter of the woman who ruined his life. A name I never chose. A lie I’m forced to wear. He wants to punish me. Break me. But he doesn’t know the truth—and if he finds out, I might not survive it. Still, there’s something in his eyes when he looks at me. Something dangerous. Possessive. Something that makes me forget I came here to escape. I was meant to be a sacrifice. But now I’m the obsession he never saw coming. And if we’re not careful, the secrets between us will bury us both.

On our wedding day, my boyfriend, Hayden Grant, had me thrown out of the chapel. Instead, he walked down the aisle hand-in-hand with his childhood sweetheart. I went back in and collapsed at the side of the aisle. The bouquet slipped from my hands, and scattered petals fell everywhere. However, his eyes did not linger on me for even half a second. "Selena's child needs a dad. Once that's taken care of, I'll marry you." Everyone thought I, the lovesick fool, would willingly wait another month. After all, I had already waited for him for seven years. However, that night, I did something no one expected. I agreed to my parents' arranged marriage and left the country. Three years later, I returned home to visit my parents. My husband, William Fields, was the CEO of a multinational corporation. When an unexpected, important meeting came up, he asked me to head to the company's branch back home ahead of him, where his subordinates would take care of me. To my surprise, one of those subordinates turned out to be Hayden, the man I had not seen in three years. His eyes went straight to the sparkling diamond on my ring finger. "Is this a knockoff of that pink diamond Mr. Fields bought for his wife that's worth five million dollars? I didn't expect you to become so vain after all these years. "You've stirred up enough drama. Come home. Selena's kid is in school now, so it's the perfect chance for you to take care of his lunches." I did not say a word and just traced the ring with my fingertips. He had no idea that this was the cheapest of all the gems William had ever given me.

“I fled my engagement party and found him on a basketball court at midnight.” I had three months of freedom before I was married off in a business arrangement like it was nothing more than a possession. My escape was Crescent Bay University, a last ditch effort at taking control of my life before it got snatched from me. I wasn’t prepared for a 6’4, amber eyed basketball captain, who was known to be closed off. But if it’s true that he doesn’t do relationships and he has no interes in women, why can’t he take his eyes off me? When his eyes met mine, something electric sparked between us. Something dangerous. Something neither of us could walk away from. Then his eyes flashed gold, and I realized my temporary escape had led me somewhere far more dangerous than I’d ever imagined. He has secrets that could destroy me. I have power I never knew existed. And the men hunting us will burn the world down before they let us be together. Some bonds can’t be broken. Some loves are worth dying—or killing—for

The moon goddess gave us a gift, a whole lot of us were blessed with wolf‘s, receiving it due our ancestors good deeds, as the tale tells and is known. But the one gift we all have is life and to live it one must do whatever it takes, so she rebelled. Until a question arose, how will Serena live without him, yes a male, her mate? A woman who is strong headed, kind but stubborn and who her entire life wished to never have a mate despite having seen one of the most beautiful and loving relationship of her parents. She doesn’t know what the future holds for her, but the one thing she does know is when she does something she does it with all her heart.

At one point we were both abandoned in the woods. Our meeting started with distrust. His wounds were more than the gnashing scratches of the wilderness, it extended to trash his memories and kept him from truth more than once. Her wounds were more than the bruises of the poisonous wilderness, it extended to crush her security and increased her self doubt. It was an exile that led a prideful yet underestimated prince and an tortured daughter of a successful merchant. Our tale only began when we acknowledged our desires, yet the world around us conspired to thwart our every step. The both of us didn't want to doubt, yet, would our resilience and trust be enough to navigate through the jungle of doubts?

“Swallow my cum, pretty thing—then beg us to knot you until you’re leaking us for days.” The night the rogues attacked, everything I knew went up in smoke. One second, I was just another student trying to survive pack school politics. The next, I was being dragged through blood and fire—sold to men whose names carry more fear than the word Alpha itself. Dante. Lucien. Kade. Three Alphas born of chaos. They don’t follow rules—they make them. And now, I’m caught in the middle of their world—bought, claimed, and marked by hands that command armies and hearts that know nothing of mercy. Three Alphas. One claim. And me—torn between wanting freedom… and craving the chains that come with their touch.

Jennie Lawson spent four years believing William Simmons truly loved her. She didn’t realize how wrong she was until his ex-wife appeared with their two-year-old daughter. The truth hit her so hard it made her sick. She got drunk enough to forget the whole thing and ended up in bed with a man whose influence could tilt the entire country. After that night, he practically attached himself to her, following her around with the devotion of an overgrown, lovestruck puppy. From then on, whenever Jennie made a scene, someone stood behind her without hesitation. When she hit someone, a hand quietly passed her what she needed. And when she finally filed for divorce, that man stepped forward with the full weight of his family name and inheritance, ready to marry her on the spot. William wasn’t worried. He thought she had no one. He thought she loved him too much to ever break free. He thought she would run back sooner or later. He never expected to see her again at the biggest society wedding of the decade. She stood there glowing with confidence. He never imagined that the woman he once dismissed as a nobody, a simple botanist, would be the one who cultivated a rare species that shocked the entire nation and gave hope to countless patients. That was when the fear finally set in. His eyes red, his hands shaking, he dropped to his knees. “Jennie, let’s stop this. Come home.” Jennie only smiled. A second later, she was pulled into someone else’s arms. The man holding her was cool and elegant, but there was a sharp, deadly edge in his eyes as he looked at William. “She’s my wife. We have a child. What home could she possibly return to with you?”

My mother’s a doctor and with one beer and some stolen sleeping pills that she knew nothing about, they were knocked out like little babies. I ran to my mother’s room who was working on some paperwork when I grabbed her arm urgently. “We need to leave. We need to leave right now.” I demanded. “What are you talking about?” “Let’s go.” I yelled, yanking her off the bed. We ran down the stairs and out the front door when my mother stopped momentarily when she saw the guards on the ground. She looked at me and knew that I did something but I kept yanking on her arm towards the car. They were ready for us at the border and I could see my mother hesitating as she saw the line of wolves blocking the road. So I reached my leg over and I pushed it on hers so that we would accelerate faster. “Savannah. What the hell are you doing?” My mother screamed. “If he catches us now, what the hell do you think he’s going to do to us?” I asked. “I can’t believe you just did that.” My mother said, practically out of breath. “If I had told you that I was going to do it then you would have stopped me.” I said. “Because Alpha Calvin is not going to stop looking for us. He is going to come after us and it will be even worse when he finds us. We don’t even know where we’re going.” Mom said. “Louisiana.” I said. “What?” She asked, looking at me confused. “We’re going to Louisiana. Alpha Kane at the Hidden Moon Pack.” I said.
