Chapter 1Sacrificial Lamb

"Daddy, I don't want to go! I love General Cedric. I don't want to become King Alistair's mistress!" Princess Felicity whined to her father while tugging on his sleeve.

Sierra kept her eyes to the ground while she gritted her teeth. Her hands were clenched into fists upon hearing the princess's confession of loving General Cedric. He had led her on and she blindly believed him.

"I'll never make the same mistake again," Sierra muttered beneath her breath to herself.

"Alright, alright, my child, we'll think of something else," King Frederick consoled his daughter.

The King was a pushover when it came to his daughter. Princess Felicity was his only child and he had spoiled her rotten. She got her way, no matter the cost. Sierra could not help but sigh.

The alliance between their Kingdom of Caif and the Kingdom of Drakin rests on the princess's shoulders. Yet, she refused to go. The ministers and generals in the Throne Room erupted into conversation.

King Frederick cleared his throat audibly to get the attention of his subjects. The Royal Court settled down immediately. It was so quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

"We need another candidate for the marriage alliance. My beloved subjects, would any of you like the honor of marrying your daughter to the King of Drakin?" the King asked.

Everyone glanced at one another. No one dared to step forward or speak. If the rumors are to be believed, King Alistair of Drakin was a cold and heartless ruler. Not to mention, he was known to visit the whore houses regularly on a near-daily basis.

No father in the right mind would want their daughter to marry a womanizer. Let alone one who was rumored to be particularly cruel when it came to punishing criminals. But it had to be done.

Six days ago, every neighboring kingdom to Drakin received a letter. Each monarch was to send their princess to become a potential concubine to the King. Should they choose to decline, war awaits.

King Frederick was a cowardly king.

He would never dare to go against a large kingdom like Drakin. Furthermore, three kingdoms had refused to abide by King Alistair's instructions and each of them paid the price. Their ruling monarchs lost their heads while their lands now belonged to the ever-growing empire of Drakin.

"Your Majesty, I have a suggestion," General Cedric stepped forward to speak.

"Oh? Is that so? Share it with the court, general."

Sierra glanced up. At that moment, she knew she made her mistake. The moment their eyes met, her heart sank. He was looking straight at her with a grin. She glanced over to the princess. She too had the same grin on her face.

"I think Knightess Sierra would be the perfect candidate. I'm sure she will be more than willing to volunteer, for the sake of our glorious kingdom," Cedric suggested.

She used to love that handsome face. His chestnut brown hair, chiseled chin, and charismatic personality. Now, all she had for him was hatred beyond measure.

Everyone turned their attention to Sierra.

She could see all of them, staring at her. Some of the ministers whispered amongst themselves, discussing how viable of a solution it would be to their situation. Sierra gulped. Her palms began to sweat.

"Knightess Sierra?" her name rolled off the King's tongue with unfamiliarity.

General Leon, Sierra's father, took a step forward and got down on his knee.

"My daughter, your Majesty," he explained to the King.

Sierra felt a warm sensation in her heart. General Leon took her in as his own when she was six. He taught her everything she knew, including how to stand up for herself. He treated Sierra like his own flesh and blood.

"I didn't know the Bancroft Family had an heiress," the King exclaimed in surprise.

He clearly was a useless king, unaware of the affairs of his subjects.

"She's not his blood daughter, father. She's just some orphan girl he took in," the princess informed her father before the court.

Sierra gritted her teeth but kept her silence. Her fists were trembling. She took in a deep breath of air, hoping it would help.

"An orphan? We can't offer someone like that to King Alistair! He would be enraged if he finds out," King Frederick exclaimed.

Sierra's lips quivered. The tides have turned. Perhaps she would be able to escape this marriage alliance after all. But as quick as her hopes were restored, they were taken away in the blink of an eye.

General Cedric stepped forward with a suggestion, "Your Majesty, I have a solution. We can claim Sierra to be a princess in title. I am certain King Alistair won't suspect a thing!"

"Do you take him for a fool? He's a King for crying out loud!"

As soon as those words left her lips, Sierra realized she had made a horrible mistake. She had voiced her opinions outwardly in front of everyone. She was doomed. Her adoptive father glanced over to her, signaling her to get on her knees immediately.

Sierra did so immediately, keeping her eyes to the ground.

"Really? Or is it because last night affected you so much that you couldn't stand being around me?" "Don't flatter yourself, Snow. You didn't affect me at all." He smirked, stepping closer. "Is that so?" His fingers brushed my chin, tilting my face up. My pulse quickened. "We're at work," I snapped, swatting his hand away. "This isn't professional." "You're my wife," he murmured. "You're supposed to obey me at all times." I bit back a retort, a hint of rebellion flaring within. Slowly, I stepped closer, letting my fingers graze his chest. His smirk wavered for a second when his wolf reacted and Snow bit his lips. "Careful, Boss," I purred seductively. "Don't hurt those lips. I'm sure plenty of girls would love to kiss them." Snow leaned down, his lips brushing my ear. "And you? Are you dying for a taste?" Caught off guard, I hesitated, then regained my composure as I looked him in the eyes. "Unlike other girls, I have strong resistance against—" I didn't get a chance to finish when Snow's lips crashed onto mine with a fierce kiss that left me breathless. *************** MATURE CONTENT Participating in the Viral Book Call Contest.

Hellbound Heart

[WARNING: MATURE CONTENT] - Izabelle had underestimated the fire she thought she was going to play with tonight. But how could she ever have foreseen that the man she had happened to come across with does not play with just a small fire, but a whole inferno? ___ Excerpt: "You going through this marriage with me might as well be like you digging your own grave. Because the moment you start to want more from me, I will divorce you. And the moment you break your promise and try to fight me… I will ruin you and break you apart completely. Mercilessly. You will regret ever meeting this devil tonight." His threat was given in the same soft but cold voice. But Elle did not even flinch. Her gaze never faltered either. This man was ruthless, and she knew that clearly. His eyes that moment promised nightmares and darkness without any promise of respite. But no matter what he says now, it would still not change her decision. She truly had no other choice. "I understand now…" she said quietly, steeling herself. "Since you don't trust that I will keep my word, how about we do this? You prepare the divorce documents beforehand now and I'll sign it. That way, once you decide to divorce me in the future, the papers would already have been signed and there would be no way I can trouble you about it. You would just need to send it to the lawyers and have it notarized." A heavy silence reigned before his quiet disbelieving laugh broke the silence. "I'm at a loss for words, Princess Izabelle." He looked wickedly amused. But then he started nodding in approval. "Fine, princess. I will marry you." ___ Instagram account: kazzenlx.x facebook page: author_kazzenlx Discord server: https://discord.gg/UGTA3A4 Cover is mine so don't use it.

Chosen by Fate, Rejected by the Alpha

Eighteen-year-old Trinity is unlike any other werewolf in her pack. For one, there were unusual circumstances surrounding her birth, for another, she is the only pack member to never shift into a wolf form. So now she doesn't quite belong anywhere. Not quite human and not quite wolf. She thought she would be able to live her life how she wanted when she had turned eighteen. Go to college, make some friends, have some fun. But what is she to do when the dangerously sexy Alpha literally falls right into her lap? "I am not human, and I am not a wolf. I don't belong anywhere..." "...we both know that no one is going to mate with me, and even if they did, they would just reject me anyway." What is the sexy, brooding Alpha going to do? The elders are making him hold these ridiculous parties to search for a mate. He doesn't want a mate, but he knows he needs a mate to finish the Alpha Circle. Without a mate, a Luna for the pack, his people would suffer. And what is he going to do when he stumbles across the girl that fate has chosen for him and he finds out she has no wolf? "This cannot be!" I roared. "There is no way that I can mate with a girl that does not even have a wolf. She will be too weak. She will be inferior. She will not be strong enough to be a Luna." "I simply could not accept her as my mate. Not fully. It wasn't safe for her. She would get herself killed. And she would bring my pack down with her." When these two meet, sparks will surely fly. But will it be from passion, or their constant fighting? Neither of them wanted a mate. Neither of them wants the mate that fate chose for them. And neither of them can make that mate bond go away. What are they going to do now that they're literally stuck with each other? ***Rating Warning*** Adult Language Violence Strong Sexual Content THIS BOOK IS UNDERDER AN EXCLUSIVE CONTRACT AND IT IS NOT TO BE POSTED OR PUBLISHED ANYWHERE ELSE.
