Five brothers, descendants from the ancient power of wolves, find themselves stuck with more than they bargained for after taking in Purity, a young female. Only one of the brothers has ever had interactions with humans daily, but add a curse, and promise to a vampire, you'll get a whole pack of wolves finding themselves acting out of character only to vie for her approval. What is the secret Purity's unaware of? Will she ever get along with the Alpha? Will her presence cause more distruption, or will it cause a love triangle of unusual circumstances?

결혼한 지 5년, 남편의 첫사랑이 인스타그램에 등기권리증을 찍은 사진을 올렸다. 그리고 이런 글을 남겼다. [강진 오빠, 집 선물해 주셔서 고마워요.] 나는 그 등기권리증에 적힌 주소를 보고 깜짝 놀랐다. 그리고 댓글에 물음표를 하나 남겼다. 그러자 조강진에게서 바로 전화가 걸려왔다. [가연이가 혼자서 애 키우느라 얼마나 고생인지 너도 잘 알잖아. 우리 집을 잠시 넘겨준 것뿐이야. 우리가 사는 덴 아무 영향도 없을 거야.] [너는 사람이 왜 그렇게 차가워? 정말 동정심도 없는 거야?] 핸드폰 너머로 강진의 첫사랑, 조가연의 울음소리가 들려왔다. 30분 후, 가연은 다시 인스타그램에 글을 올렸고, 이번엔 나를 태그 했다. 그녀는 2억이 넘는 고급 벤츠 사진을 올렸다. [일시불로 샀어요. 남자는 역시 사랑하는 사람한테 돈 쓰는 걸 아까워하지 않네요.] 이건 분명 가연을 달래주기 위해 산 선물일 것이다. 이걸 본 나는 마음속으로 강진과 이혼하기로 결심했다.

우울증에 걸린 양딸을 달래주기 위해, 부모님은 나를 절벽 끝에 매달아 놓았다. 집사는 내가 매달린 작은 나무가 곧 부러질지도 모른다며 그들을 말리려 했지만, 엄마는 차갑게 웃으며 말했다. “쌤통이야, 그러게 왜 현정이가 자는 걸 건드린 거야. 이대로 떨어져 죽는다면 운이 나쁜 거지!” 오빠는 그 옆에서 웃으며 장난스레 말했다. “이참에 사람이 먹지도 않고 마시지도 않으면 얼마나 버틸 수 있을지 기록해 둬야겠어. 분명 경찰들의 수사에도 도움이 될 거야.” 어릴 적부터 함께 자란 소꿉친구는 내게 눈길 하나 주지 않고 차가운 표정을 지으며 말했다. “그래, 제대로 혼나지 않으면 나중에 또 다른 사람을 괴롭힐지도 몰라!” 3일 후, 그들은 나무에 매달린 내가 생각난 듯 찾아왔지만, 난 이미 그곳에서 사라진 지 오래였다.

BOOK ONE of COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with? *** BOOK TWO: The Rogues Who Went Rogue BOOK THREE: The Indomitable Huntress & the Hardened Duke

Alessandro, a name which can make men double his size shudder with fear. He is the Boss of the Russian outfit. He made a mistake, that he knows he would regret as long as he lives. A mistake which almost cost him his outfit. He never let anyone see how deeply that one mistake affected him. But it did. He decided to kill everyone who backstabbed him. That's when he saw Olivia. She was brought as a peace offering by her step mother to save her father's life. The same father who betrayed Alesso by helping his cousin Victor. He is not interested in school girls who are too innocent to stay alive in their world for long. But something in Olivia pulled to him, begging for mercy and help. He wanted to refuse her and kill her father. But he couldn't. So he bought her as his slave. Thus began their journey. This was something he was not expecting. She hated his guts. He saw how much she loathe him. But that never bothered him, until she started affecting him. He used to have fun when she is riled up. He loved when she is flustered. Making her go red with anger and frustration was his favorite. She was his reprieve from his guilt. A light at the end of a dark tunnel, which never seems to have an end.

결혼식을 하루 앞둔 날, 호텔에서 전화 한 통이 걸려 왔다. “고객님, 안녕하세요. 누군가 고객님의 결혼식 현장을 엉망으로 만들었습니다.” 무슨 소린지 이해도 안 된 채 서둘러 호텔로 달려갔다. 도착하자마자 보인 건 한 여자가 내 예비 신랑과 함께 찍은 결혼사진을 들고 소리를 지르는 모습이었다. “이게 뻔뻔한 불륜녀 아니야? 우리 남편을 유혹하더니 그 돈으로 이렇게 호화로운 결혼식을 준비했다고?” 그 말에 순식간에 사람들 사이에 분노가 퍼졌다. 호텔 매니저조차 비난을 멈추지 않았다. “그러게요. 결혼식 준비 내내 신랑 얼굴 한 번 못 본 게 이상하다 했는데 원래 와이프가 따로 있었군요.” 결국 더 많은 구경꾼이 몰려들었고 분위기는 격앙되어 나를 마구잡이로 몰아세웠다. 그 과정에서 난 결국 아이를 잃고 말았다. 분노에 치를 떨며 난 웃음이 나왔다. 곧장 비서에게 메시지를 보냈다. “내일 결혼식 취소하고 진상혁한테 회사에서 당장 꺼지라고 전해!” 내 돈으로 다른 여자를 챙기고도 이렇게까지 뻔뻔할 줄이야! 좋아. 내가 어떻게 너희를 박살 내는지 한번 두고 보자고.
