Chapter 1Prologue

Roselia's youth began and ended with him.

Long before Roselia's betrayal, her childhood was intertwined with a boy. The catalyst to her punishment. 

Roselia forgot how long she was imprisoned for. She lost count. She abandoned hope of seeing in the darkness. Her eyes never adjusted, and she blamed it on being a wolfless werewolf. Her prison cell was in the darkest corner of the dungeons, where not even moonlight or ceiling lamps reached through the cracks.

Roselia accepted her new reality. She went from being the perfect Alpha's daughter to the pack traitor. 

During her first weeks, the air had been pungent and burned her nostrils. She grew accustomed to the stench. She guessed she was their only prisoner. For all of eternity.

This was Roselia's punishment. The crime? Love. 

"A…B…C…D…" Roselia would force herself to recite the alphabet to exercise her voice, but at times, it felt useless. 

Roselia hugged her knees tighter. Her stomach had stopped grumbling within the first few days. She was used to starvation. Her limbs were weak and weighed down by thick chains on her ankles and wrists. She tried to crawl everyday to exercise, but barely made it far due to surviving on one meal and a glass of water a day. 

Lately, Roselia discovered there was another prisoner somewhere in the dungeons. They were frequently tortured, their screeches filling every corner of the hallways. She almost welcomed the sound amidst the silence that nearly drove her insane. 

In the distance, Roselia picked up a sound. Footsteps

"She's alive."

Roselia was blinded by the abrupt light that exploded in her vision. She crawled back into the corner, covering her eyes.

"She smells horrendous. My nose hair is about to be burned off by her disgusting scent," another man spat out in disbelief.

"Shut up, it's Alpha's orders. Just because she's been in solitary confinement for so long doesn't mean she's deaf. Stupid, maybe, but not deaf." 

The cell doors clicked. Rough hands yanked Roselia to her feet, dragging her against the floor when she struggled to stand. 

"Get up and walk!" they barked at her.

Clink.

Roselia squeezed her eyes shut, the pain from the sudden brightness and sound felt like needles digging into her pupils and skin. They yanked her up by the armpits, her feet dragging behind her. She burned with agony as if her limbs were being torn apart.

Clink.

Roselia's chains rattled behind her obnoxiously. She tried to think of a way to escape, but it was impossible. Her attempts were futile and she'd always end up in solitary confinement as punishment until it became permanent.

"We're here, straighten up in the presence of Alpha Kerpan!" one of the men demanded. "Show some respect." 

They flung her onto the ground. Roselia hissed as pain burst from her limbs. She was brittle as glass, her skin throbbing from the harsh impact. Her palms trembled when she tried to rise and she rubbed her eyes to adjust her vision. 

"You're dismissed," Alpha Kerpan informed the guards. They scurried outside, frightened by his presence. 

Alpha Kerpan towered over Roselia, forming a large shadow over her pathetic position. His wrinkled face was as menacing as she remembered him to be. A heinous scar ran from his chin to his scalp, his left eye still covered by a black patch. 

Roselia blinked.

Alpha Kerpan glared.

"How dare you!" Alpha Kerpan seethed, kicking her roughly in the chest. 

Roselia doubled over, choking on the air, and shaking with agony. 

"Lower your gaze, you're just a mutt," Alpha Kerpan growled in fury. He huffed and puffed like some big bad wolf, but Roselia saw him for what he really was—a coward.

Roselia had expected his anger and abuse. After everything she did to his only son, he was the first person to seek vengeance. He got his revenge by being her prison warden, except, he wasn't allowed to torture her. 

The Supreme Council of Werewolves had made their decision over Roselia's crimes. As punishment, Roselia was to be stripped of her title as Alpha's daughter and sentenced to five years in Alpha Kerpan's territory. Not even Roselia's father could save her, not that he wanted to. Her Papa was disappointed and shamed by the loss of reputation caused by his daughter.

"You should be grateful to me," Alpha Kerpan snarled, using the tip of his shoe to raise her chin at him. 

Alpha Kerpan sneered down at her. His working eye lingered on the thin rag barely covering her body. He licked his lips, especially when he saw his son's mark on her neck. A big fat "K." 

Roselia's stomach twisted with his leery stare. He was the father of her ex-lover. In a different life, she could've been his daughter-in-law. Alpha Kerpan was older than her Papa, but here he was, practically drooling over her.

"Instead of wasting away in my cells," Alpha Kerpan stated. "I've decided to show you mercy." 

Roselia nearly scoffed at the idea. Mercy? When he was the man demanding to keep her as prisoner the very day she was sentenced by the Council of Werewolves?

"Get up," Alpha Kerpan growled. 

Roselia tried to stand. Her body screamed in protest, but she managed. Her stance was shaky and her knees wobbled. She hugged her stomach, glancing around to see they were in the foyer of his pack house.

Her freedom was right behind her—the doors leading out of this hell hole.

"The Council of Werewolves has agreed to pardon your imprisonment for a lesser punishment…" Alpha Kerpan eyed her from head to toe, his attention lingering on her bosom. 

"What is their decision?" Roselia asked, her voice hoarse and weak.

Alpha Kerpan smirked. "You are to marry me and sire as many heirs as I please."

Roselia wanted to puke. If she had any content in her stomach, she'd empty it all over him.

"But I have to give you the option to run for your life and into your father's territory," Alpha Kerpan sighed. "If you succeed, you're a free woman. If you fail, you're to be my wife."

Roselia almost leaped with joy at the opportunity, but she wasn't stupid. There was no way she'd make it to her Papa's territory, despite it bordering Pack Kerpan. Roselia's pack was ten miles away from here. She would know. She used to sneak onto Alpha Kerpan's territory. 

"Not even a normal werewolf can run that long without taking a break," Roselia realized out loud.

And for Roselia, who never gained a wolf? This was a death sentence.

"So?" Alpha Kerpan shrugged.

"Does my Papa know of this?" Roselia demanded.

Alpha Kerpan glared, raising his hand to smack her. Roselia flinched, turning her head and bracing herself for the impact. The pain never came. 

Roselia took his anger as an answer. No. Her Papa did not know.

"Or, you can save yourself the trouble, and just marry me right now," Alpha Kerpan seethed, noticing her palling face. "The Council of Werewolves granted me the opportunity, for it is the least you can do after you left me childless and without an heir."

"I'll run," Roselia gasped out, shaking her head. She'd rather run through the forest barefoot and die on the soil she was born in. If Alpha Kerpan was going to marry her, he'd have to drag her corpse to the altar.

"Stupid, stupid, girl," Alpha Kerpan spat out. "I'll enjoy catching you with my bare hands, Roselia."

Alpha Kerpan motioned for the guards, and they came forward. Roselia jumped back in fear, her entire body on high alert. To her surprise, they unlocked the chains on her wrists and ankles. 

"Go on," Alpha Kerpan gestured to the doors that slowly opened behind her, revealing the forest behind his backyard. "I'll give you a head start."

Aiden Winslow, an enigmatic CEO isn’t just mysterious —he is determined, and won’t allow to take Arwen away from him again. ____ Excerpt: Aiden narrowed his eyes, “Are you sure about this?” “If I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have asked,” Arwen replied coolly. “Stop dawdling. If you’re unwilling, I’ll find someone else who can get the marriage certificates today.” His expression darkened as he pulled her close. “Once offered to me, it’s mine alone.” Unfazed, Arwen asked, “So, do you accept? If yes, we’ll get the certificates now.” “On one condition,” he said. “I don’t do contract marriages. The woman I marry will be the woman I share my bed with. If you agree, then we’ll—” “Not a problem. Let’s go,” Arwen said without letting him finish, pulling him into the Civil Marriage Bureau.

One Wild Night

Lucinda Perry, a social recluse and a workaholic, makes a pledge to herself to go all wild on her twenty-fifth birthday and even score a one night stand if she gets her long deserved promotion at work. Few days to her twenty-fifth birthday, she gets promoted to not just a higher position but to the head office in a different city. Having to spend her birthday night in a new city, she goes to the club where she meets a very handsome stranger, Thomas Hank, who offers to be her one night stand after catching a glimpse of her dare-to-do list, which included having a one night stand. Thomas Hank, after having been used by several ladies in the past, is bent on getting the lady of his dreams who would love him for himself and not his wealth. So when he meets the cute and naive Lucinda Perry at the club, he decides to keep his true identity from her and find out if she was worth keeping. ***Excerpt*** What is more entertaining than a crazy side character? Say hello to Sonia and Bryan. Sonia's heart stopped beating for a second, and then different thoughts started flying right through her head at that same time. Bryan Hank? Her celebrity crush was kneeling right in front of her and asking her to be his wife? Was he mistaking her for someone? Was it possible this was a skit, or maybe this was like one of those celebrity pranks, and there were cameras around, waiting to capture her make a fool of herself? Or perhaps she was dreaming? Sonia wondered as she looked around them, but all she saw were curious onlookers. "Please! Be my wife and make me the happiest man on Earth," He said in a very loud voice that caught the attention of everyone. Her editor who she had been waiting on for over an hour because he was trying to sign a deal with a movie producer who was interested in one of her stories, showed up at that moment, "Sonia, you know Bryan Hank?" Her editor asked in genuine surprise as he watched the scene before him. It seemed like an hour had passed since Bryan went on his knees, but it had only been a minute. Bryan knew no lady would be crazy enough to accept such a crazy proposal, and even if any were, paying her off and calling off the whole thing would be easy since all he wanted was the scandal that could come from this. The headlines were either going to be about his rejected Marriage proposal or his supposed engagement, which would be enough to let Sophia off the hook. "Yes!" Sonia said as she bobbed her head excitedly and extended her finger for him to wear her the ring. "Yes?" Bryan asked in confusion when he heard her response. "Yes! I will be your wife and make you the happiest man in the world!" Sonia said with a giggle and wiggled her fingers until Bryan slid the ring down her finger. Surprisingly the ring was her exact size, and it sat on her finger like it was made just for her. The sound of applause erupted all around them as Sonia stood up with a big smile on her face and embraced Bryan before kissing him right on the lips. Bryan was slightly taken aback by her boldness but quickly recovered since this was his game, and he had to play along. He was the one who had approached her first, after all. So when she tried to break the kiss, he held her chin and slowly nibbled on her lower lip before parting her lips with his tongue and sucked on it in a teasing manner, eliciting a moan from Sonia. Sonia felt light-headed. This was too good to be true. It just had to be a dream. How else could she explain that one moment she was seated at the lobby of a hotel waiting for her editor, and the next she was engaged to her celebrity crush and was kissing him right here in the open?

Devilish secretary

After centuries of ruling the underworld with terrifying power, Lilith dies in an epic battle, only to be reborn in the human world. But instead of a grand rebirth as a queen of darkness, she's reincarnated as something far more mundane—a secretary. Rather than despair, Lilith finds this new life amusing. After all, who would suspect the devil herself to be working a 9-to-5? Settling into her new reality, Lilith embraces her role, living in a luxurious apartment and working diligently in her office. Though her devilish instincts are hard to suppress, she's determined to be the perfect secretary. But when people push her too far, the devil within still comes out to play. When a creep in the office dares to look at her the wrong way, she calmly fixes her gaze on him. "You keep staring like that, and I'll show you what a broken wrist feels like." The man quickly scurries away, leaving Lilith with a satisfied smirk. Even the rich, entitled girl from accounting isn't safe from her wrath. "You think you can push me around just because you've got money? I've burned entire kingdoms for less. Don't test me." She says this with a calm smile, her eyes glinting dangerously. The day continued like that—stopping creeps in their tracks, putting rude heiresses in their place, and being the flawless secretary she intended to be. But, of course, her boss—the CEO—had his eyes on her, more curious than ever. And while the entire office might fear her or wonder about her, she remained blissfully indifferent. This was fun. And she wasn't here to impress anyone but herself. Who knew being a secretary could be so... interesting?
