The day of my bonding ceremony with my Alpha, Jeremy Morgan, was finally approaching. We had already postponed our bonding ceremony eight times. Not because he’d broken his promise, but because I hadn’t managed to forge enough emblems bearing the resonance mark. The Morgan Pack has a tradition. Every Luna chosen by the Moon Goddess must first forge nine emblems from her own lifeblood, each etched with a resonance mark. But no matter how careful I was, one emblem would always mysteriously disappear just days before the ceremony. This year, it had nearly cost me everything, but I finally forged the ninth emblem. Overjoyed, I rushed to find Jeremy. But through the half-open door of his office, I heard his Beta say: "Alpha, Freya has been waiting for eight years. Do you actually plan on completing the bond with her?" Jeremy’s voice was unnervingly calm. "I promised Dahlia I wouldn’t go through with the bonding ceremony with Freya this year, either." The Beta hesitated. "What if Freya has managed to forge enough emblems this time?" Jeremy was silent for a moment, then he clapped his hands. A shadow wolf materialized and then leaped out the window. Before long, the shadow wolf returned, a gleaming emblem held gently in its mouth. Jeremy took it, crushed the mark without a second thought, and sighed. "Freya is resilient. She could hold on for another ten years, not just one." "But Dahlia is suffering from a berserker curse. She only has me left, and all she wants is for me to be with her in her final days." "I can’t bring myself to refuse Dahlia, so Freya will just have to suffer a little longer." I couldn't believe what I was hearing. So, all those emblems that had mysteriously disappeared… he had destroyed them. We were fated mates. Becoming his mate had always been my dream. But if he never intended to bond with me, then I had no reason to cling to him any longer.

Eight years ago, a man found himself smouldering in a crater, a few miles away from the nearest city, with no recollection of his own past. After so much time had passed and he had finally thought he had found a life worth living, he found it all snatched away by a single terrible accident, but not in the way one would expect - an intensive surgery revealed his heart was wrought in iron, the same way that gods were according to ancient legend. He was immortal, and the wounds that should have killed him instead healed in a day. Now he has been locked up by the city's authorities and been forced to endure experiment after experiment in a twisted version of hell he could not escape. But now the devil is sitting before him, and she's willing to make a deal...

She was strong, but it wasn't just her strength, it was her heart too. You couldn't see it if you only knew her on the battlefield, she didn't hesitate to cut down her enemies, to use the most ruthless methods if they proved to be the most efficient. Her origins were bare when you saw her clawing through a man's body as his blood was almost invisible on her red skin. She was a monster, yes, but she loved this world more than anyone else. She helped others, took care of plants and animals as best as she could, she'd tell you that everything was okay as she hugged you as tightly as she could. She'd berate you if she thought you were being an idiot, she'd brave any hardship to save even a simple flower from harm. Yes, I know that's quite idiotic of her, but that was her strength. And now you will see her journey, her path to saving the world from doom.

Life is a realistic fiction book. This book is supposed to be a message.

Kenneth Ian Samuels has lived a life of privilege with no real responsibilities. He thinks his life of drinking, gambling and meaningless sex is perfect the way it is until his parents upgrade his sexbot for him.

this book would be different than you will expect, but expect some vulger scenes or language and anything apart with that. expect some action scenes, I don't know on how much there will be, but hopefully not enough to overwrite the genre... (tbh; I thought that the commas were periods...)

Story of the life of a common man from a different perspective,

Fu Xiaoxiao transmigrates into a book and immediately faces the crisis of being sent to the countryside. As the unloved middle child, her younger sister is the one meant to go — but her mother transfers her job to the sister instead. A disaster of a start. To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio? Just take care of the kids, and separate rooms are fine? The others may pass, but she won't. Every day is a battle of wits with the two kids. Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing. Lu Feng grits his teeth at Fu Xiaoxiao, who remains completely unmoved by his countless attempts to seduce her, and traps her in his arms. "Boss, let's talk this through. I know forty a month is a bit much — how about... five less?" Trapped in his embrace, Fu Xiaoxiao thinks he's unhappy with her high salary and starts bargaining. "I'm giving myself to you for free." Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
