Synopsis

Cora is unique among the vampires in Gray Vale. She is half fae. She has a beating heart. And she can bring life to the vampires around her, allowing them the ability to die when they desire it rather than being cursed with the same dreadful existence for eternity. Cora’s gift makes available this “death by desire” that is prized in the vampire world. Offering life to vampires is a beautiful gift, but it can also be used as a weapon. And that is what the royal family of vampires wishes to do. With no other choice, she must marry into the royal family for protection from those who are threatened by her ability. But when a “pet” lycan is gifted to her who is her true mate, will she find a way to break off the engagement, threatening her family and everyone else she loves in the process? Can her mate's lycan pack possibly win against the vampires who do not want to part with her? Or will they be forced apart? Published exclusively on Webnovel.

Chapter 1Future Pet

He was bigger than her, untamed and rugged—like a shape cut out of the wild forest.

Cora walked to the cage, curling her fingers around the bars and feeling his heat from where she stood. She was drawn to him. To the way the strength in his shoulders and chest rose and fell with his breath. The smell he brought with him of the forest… of the fresh grass and trees recently covered in rain. He was like an oasis there. A trapped, caged oasis that she had no right indulging in.

This male was vital and alive—such a stark contrast to the gray, undead, unliving dimension that he had been transplanted into. She had three years to get used to this nearly colorless place, and now his vivid life was so blinding, it nearly stole her breath.

"Pet?" she whispered to herself, grimacing at how the prince characterized this 'gift' of his.

Her voice affected him despite the wretched word she spoke—singing to him, calling him forward, pulling on something wild to unleash—but he didn't show it. His jaw remained clenched, all of his muscles taut and straining against the chains they had placed him in. And he refused to meet her eyes—not like this. Not here.

Was this truly the Moon Goddess' plan for him? A cage? Whatever chemical they had coated the metal with had weakened him to the point that he couldn't break out of the restraints like would be so easy for him otherwise.

Cora wet her lips, searching for words, feeling guilty that somehow the prince thought it right to bring this male here for her that he viewed as nothing but an animal, but she also felt so powerfully drawn to him. It reminded her of being within a breath of a lion at the zoo, and that thought riddled her with guilt as well.

He wasn't an object. He wasn't a pet either, regardless of how endearing that term could be. Rather… she wished to be a lion with him. Or to give herself to him as a meal.

"I am sorry. I will find a way to get you out of here," she whispered, her stomach twisting at the position she was in.

How would she possibly free him without offending the entire royal family?

"Is he not fascinating?" Prince Rayth's chilling voice arrived in the room followed by his distinctly threatening aura. His presence made her freeze, an instinctual fear creeping up her spine. All of the warmth from the male in the cage was doused by the freezing air of vampire royalty. "It is no easy task to catch a lycan, I can tell you that. I hope you will take very good care of him."

A long, pale finger caressed her cheek, causing her to shiver and a ragged breath to escape like death itself was caressing her. Perhaps death would be better.

"If you will be my bride, you will tolerate my touch, child," he whispered in her ear, causing her heart to stumble in its frantic attempt to run away from this situation, and both males heard it.

A low growl echoed around the room, instinctually releasing itself from the lycan's throat. Rayth chuckled in delight, his eyes flashing a threat to the male who now lifted his own threatening gaze. They stared each other down while Cora's eyes were fixed on the floor.

"I do hope the task of taming him will keep your skills occupied. There are far too many flowers blooming outside the garden today, Cora. If this continues, I am not sure my position alone can protect you from the unrest growing in Gray Vale."

My five ghostly husbands

Ruby was a genius; however, she tragically passed away after falling from the fiftieth floor of her own company's building. When she opened her eyes again, she found herself in an entirely different world. Have you ever heard about the Ghost World? I'm not referring to the world of deceased individuals, but rather a planet. Ruby was shocked when she woke up in the body of an twenty-year-old girl who was already married and had four ghostly husbands. Unfortunately, these husbands didn't love the original owner, and the original owner treated them poorly. The first husband leaned over with a sly smile on his face and said, "You think you can leave me, pretty wife? Nope! Once my eyes catch what I like, I will get it no matter what." The second husband angrily exclaimed, "I hate you, stupid witch! Don't leave me; your stupid husband loves you." The third husband innocently said, "Wife, I made my special soup for you," and proceeded to show bowls filled with blood. The fourth husband gently raised her chin and said, "Wife, I can't believe that with every passing second, minute, and hour, I'm falling for you even more." The fifth husband, who fell in love with her at first sight, looked at the camera and arrogantly smiled. "I fell in love with someone at first sight! Get ready to grab it; I'm throwing ten thousand gems to celebrate," he declared as the camera panned to a room filled with money and treasures. Ruby : "..." Please, someone, make me dead again.

Letters to Romeo.

[Mature Content. No Rape] 'All it took was breaking one rule that she was not supposed to' He was the bad boy with tattoos. She was the good girl with glasses, and she was his. — When Julianne Winters decides to move to the dormitory of the reputed University, she has everything planned so that she can complete her graduation and leave the place. But her plan is quick to catch fire from the moment the eyes of Roman Moltenore from senior year lands on her. And his appearance screams nothing but TROUBLE. "What rules?" Julianne asked with a frown as she read through the page. She was sure she hadn't seen any rules of the campus mentioned on their website. # 4. No using cell phones. # 12. Students should not roam outside the campus after eleven in the night. The further she read, the more bizarre it turned out to be. Her friend turned the page and then pointed at the last rule # 29. Listen to Roman Moltenore. "This is made up. Look, the last one is even written in pencil." Julianne couldn't believe that her friend from the next dorm thought she would fall for it. "And no phone?" "It is important you abide by all the rules. Especially number twenty nine," said the girl in a serious tone. "Remember not to get involved with Roman. If you happened to see him, run in the other direction. There is a reason why it is written down here." With the rules of the campus, she resorts to sending handwritten letters to her uncle. But who knew it would end up in someone else’s hand!
