what is a tsuguko

Arianne Dela Vega lives with two different types of life every single day. A nerdy student with a bitchy attitude by morning and a queen of mafia who's fearsome and deadly by night. She wanted to experience what it is like to live a normal life despite the riches and power she has. But then, her peaceful life in the morning was ruined when an asshole came into the picture. Adonis Jace Villanueva came from a rich and powerful family, that because of so much power they have, they took over and controlled everything in his life. That suffocates him, that's why he's being rebellious. Not until he met that nerdy bitch who stepped on his ego and hurt his pride. What will happen if two negatives meet? Will it turn positive like in Integers? or will it just stay negative?

“Mamili ka: ikukulong mo ‘ko at wala kang makukuhang impormasyon, o ibibigay mo sa’kin isa sa mga anak mo at makikipagtulungan ako sa inyong mahuli niyo ang ibang mafia bosses?” Iyan ang naging speech ng mafia boss na si Heath kay General Chrysanthe—ang lalaking nakahuli sa kaniya at ang tatay ni Brianna. Kaya sila biglang kinasal nang patago. Heath married Brianna for leverage. Brianna married Heath because she wanted to protect her younger sister from their father. Hindi akalain ni Brianna na may mas lulupit pa pala sa mundong gusto niyang takbuhan. Ang mailap na ugali ni Heath ay hindi niya matagalan. Alam niyang mali pero parang nahuhulog siya sa kaniyang bodyguard na si Rainer. Pareho silang naghahanap ng daan palabas sa kanilang mga problema. Ang tanong: matatapos ba ito at paano? Alam nilang walang "happy", at "ending" lang ang mayroon sa kwentong ito. Pero... hindi nga ba talaga posible ang happy ever after?

❝I was supposed to be engaged to the love of my life… Instead, I was sold to a crippled stranger on my wedding day.❞ Jamie Zach had been the family’s shame—an omega male in a world where only alphas mattered. Used and discarded by his fiancé, betrayed by his own sister, and left pregnant after a night of cruelty, Jamie had lost everything. To save face, his family forced him into a hasty marriage with Sir Lucien Von Nightshade, a man who never showed his face, a crippled, masked nobleman rumored to be cursed. But his new husband was not what he seemed. Beneath the mask hid a monster… and a king. As Jamie fought to reclaim his life, Lucien watched him from the shadows, dangerous and possessive. While the world mocked Jamie, his husband silently destroyed every enemy in his path. Until one night… when Lucien’s carefully guarded secret was revealed. He was never crippled. He was never weak. He was the last of the pure blood vampires, a mafia. And Jamie… Jamie was his mate. Now pregnant with a child that could change the supernatural world, Jamie is caught in a war of power, love, and obsession. And his once-crippled husband? He will burn the world down to keep Jamie by his side.

My biased mother brought my sister, Irene Baxter, to help me with my child. But one day, I forgot to bring a contract to work. When I returned home, I saw two bodies entwined. To cover up their secret, my husband, Sam Hodgson, and Irene pushed me off the tenth floor. It was only after my death that I realized I had been nothing more than a tool for carrying on the family name. "It's better that she's dead. Now my sweet girl can be a mom without having to go through childbirth." "Sleeping with her was revolting; she was like a block of wood. Irene is so much better." Even Irene had regrets. "Still, we shouldn't have pushed her down. She was smashed beyond recognition—otherwise, we might’ve been able to sell her corpse for a pretty penny." When I opened my eyes again, I had returned to the day they pushed me off the building. This time, I wouldn't let any of them off the hook.

I don't expect to be reunited with Reyn Aldric, the heir of Frostfang Clan, at a banquet to celebrate his ascendance. I also don't expect him to throw me out heartlessly. As I walk along a deserted street, my mind replays Reyn's mocking words. "You abandoned me for money and status, Ms. Valtara. Do you regret your actions now that I've become an heir? Throw this materialistic gold digger out! I don't want to see her anywhere near me!" And so, I'm thrown out of the banquet hall just like that. I fall to the floor. It's been five years. I didn't think he would still hate me so. Then again, it makes sense. Who wouldn't hate someone who left them when they were on the brink of death? But my dear Reyn isn't dead. He's alive and well; he can even get mad at me without worrying about it affecting his health. I'm about to die, though. I don't even deserve to be emotional. Why? Because my Heart of the Wolfkin beats in Reyn's body.

A wolf in hunter's clothing. Belle is a rare and odd beauty among her pack. Unlike the lycans in her pack who can combine themselves with their wolves when they shift, she can only become a full wolf or a full human. She is different, but that does not mean that she is weak. With her being the newly appointed beta of the pack, the alpha assigned her a mission to watch over a human child. Belle did not like the idea of using a kid for their plans to take down the humans, so she helped the girl escape. Because of saving the child she was adopted by the humans, allowing her to enroll to their academy and learn their secrets to compensate to her pack for letting the child escape. But the more she learns, the more she realizes she is siding with the wrong people. Mysteries emerge as she learns that she is not the only lycan who can shift between human and wolf, or otherwise known as werewolves. Whenever she tries to learn about these creatures like her, she is always hampered by Ajax Finnegan, another hunter in training at the academy who is just as strong as she is. To Ajax, he feels like Belle is hiding something. He can sense that she's too different - too special, to be just an ordinary human. She's a beauty with the strength of a beast. Will Belle continue to side with the lycans, or will she continue her search for answers about these so called werewolves? Can Ajax figure out the beauty's secret?
