Water Dragon's Bride

She heard people running in the distance, and in an instant, she was pinned to the floor. The young girl cried out in pain and fear. As he made her stand up, she fell back down because of the force of his slap. Blood dripped from her lips, and she couldn't stand up because she felt dizzy. He grabbed her hair and said, "You're such a little fox. You'll learn not to lie to me again." The little girl cried out in pain because of the pressure on her head. The king put her on his shoulder as he and five of his soldiers and his beta went back to his tent. "The poor thing, she's dead." Said one of the soldiers in a whisper

Ever cried till you no longer had tears to shed? Bled till there was no more blood to bleed? Endured till it became a part of you? At that point, pain no longer seems like pain, but reality. No one knows how deep it cuts, how bad it hurts. But you endure it anyways. You don’t cry, you stay strong like a warrior that’ll never give up nor win. Talia Malakai, the Alpha’s daughter by name alone, lived like a shadow in her own home. In a pack where her blood should have earned her respect, she was treated as nothing more than a servant, scorned, unseen, a burden, bad luck, a curse. She learned to bow her head and swallow her voice, to endure the weight of each day like shackles she could never break. Her life was not hers, and she told herself it never would be. But even a broken girl could still be discarded. And when her father—the Alpha, the man who should have protected her—decided to sell her off like unwanted property, he called it relief. A relief from bad luck, he said, a release from the shame of having her as his blood. What awaits a girl who has already lost everything? Could being sold offer the faintest chance at freedom? Or was this only another hell waiting to swallow her whole?

“Sa ‘kin ka na, Ava. Isang taon lang ‘to… pero pagkatapos noon, hindi ka na makakatakas sa akin kahit gusto mo pa.” Pakiramdam ni Ava Lim ay wala na siyang lusot sa mundo. Isang talented wedding gown designer na halos mawalan ng lahat—ang bahay, ang negosyo, at ang inang may malubhang sakit. Walang ama, walang kapatid, mag-isa na lamang siyang lumalaban. Hanggang isang araw, dumating si Sebastian Rivas—ang pinakamakapangyarihan at pinakakinatatakutang bilyonaryo sa bansa, ang tinaguriang “Demon of Real Estate.” Hindi siya nag-alok ng awa. Nag-alok siya ng kontrata: magpakasal sila sa papel at sa publiko, titira sa kanyang pribadong isla sa Palawan, at kapalit nito, babayaran niya ang lahat ng utang, gagamutin ang ina ni Ava, at bibigyan pa ito ng bagong simula. Pumayag si Ava—walang choice. Pero hindi alam ni Ava na may mas malalim na dahilan si Sebastian. Ginagamit niya ang kasal para makapasok sa lihim ng pamilya Lim—at mahanap ang katotohanan sa pagkamatay ng kapatid niya na hindi niya matanggap na aksidente lang. Sa bawat titig, bawat haplos, bawat gabing magkasama sa malaking kama, unti-unting nawawala ang lamig ni Sebastian. Nagiging obsessed siya—selos na selos sa kahit sinong lalaking lumalapit kay Ava, hinahawakan ito na parang pag-aari, at handang sirain ang mundo para mapanatili siyang malapit. Pero kapag natuklasan ni Ava na ang pamilya niya mismo ang maaaring may kinalaman sa trahedya ni Sebastian… magagawa pa kaya niyang manatili sa piling ng lalaking nagsimula sa kontrata pero nagtapos sa pag-ibig na parang tanikala? Makakalaya ba si Ava mula sa mala-presong kasal na ito… o siya mismo ang magiging dahilan para mas lalong lumalim ang dilim na hawak ni Sebastian?
