Defy The Alpha(s)

Two centuries after the Great War, peace between humans and werewolves was finally achieved, or so everyone believes. Werewolves reign like gods, and humans remain blissfully unaware of their true place in the new world order. To maintain this fragile balance, each year, a handful of "lucky" humans are selected from various districts to attend Lunaris Academy, a prestigious institution that promises glory, status, and a chance to mingle with the elite. Those chosen are hailed as the lucky few, destined to marry powerful alphas and rise as luna. This year, Violet Purple is among the chosen, much to everyone's surprise. For an orphaned girl adopted by a disgraced prostitute, this is a golden ticket to a better life or so she's told. But Lunaris Academy isn’t the paradise it’s painted to be. Everything Violet and her fellow humans have been taught is a lie. Humans are far from equal; they're pawns in a much larger game. The academy is nothing but a gilded cage, and the students are lambs led to slaughter, playthings for the alphas to toy with in their ruthless games. To make matters worse, Violet catches the attention of the most dangerous players in this game, the Terror Four: the Alpha of the North, Alpha of the South, Alpha of the East, and Alpha of the West. Each one is more dangerous, more twisted, and more powerful than the last. But even among themselves, the alphas are divided, each with their own deadly ambitions. Yet, they all have their eyes on her. They expect Violet to play along, to fall in line like the others who worship at their feet, to break under their games. But Violet isn’t like the others. She refuses to bow. She’ll defy them all.

Défier Les Alpha(s)

Deux siècles après la Grande Guerre, la paix entre les humains et les loups-garous a finalement été atteinte, du moins tout le monde le croit. Les loups-garous règnent comme des dieux, et les humains restent dans une ignorance bienheureuse de leur véritable place dans le nouvel ordre mondial. Pour maintenir cet équilibre fragile, chaque année, une poignée d'humains "chanceux" sont sélectionnés dans divers districts pour assister à l'Académie Lunaris, une institution prestigieuse qui promet gloire, statut et une chance de côtoyer l'élite. Ceux qui sont choisis sont acclamés comme les quelques chanceux, destinés à épouser de puissants alphas et à s'élever en tant que luna. Cette année, Violet Purple est parmi les élus, à la surprise de tous. Pour une fille orpheline adoptée par une prostituée déshonorée, c'est un ticket en or pour une vie meilleure ou du moins c'est ce qu'on lui dit. Mais l'Académie Lunaris n'est pas le paradis qu'on décrit. Tout ce que Violet et ses camarades humains ont appris est un mensonge. Les humains sont loin d'être égaux ; ils sont des pions dans un jeu bien plus vaste. L'académie n'est rien de plus qu'une cage dorée, et les étudiants sont des agneaux menés à l'abattoir, des jouets pour les alphas dans leurs jeux impitoyables. Pour aggraver les choses, Violet attire l'attention des joueurs les plus dangereux dans ce jeu, les Quatre Terreurs : l'Alpha du Nord, l'Alpha du Sud, l'Alpha de l'Est et l'Alpha de l'Ouest. Chacun est plus dangereux, plus tordu et plus puissant que le précédent. Mais même entre eux, les alphas sont divisés, chacun poursuivant ses propres ambitions mortelles. Pourtant, ils ont tous les yeux rivés sur elle. Ils s'attendent à ce que Violet suive le mouvement, tombe dans les rangs comme les autres qui vénèrent à leurs pieds, qu'elle casse sous leurs jeux. Mais Violet n'est pas comme les autres. Elle refuse de s'incliner. Elle va tous les défier.

The imperial concubine is online every day

Tong Xiang had transmigrated in one day and had become the vicious imperial concubine in the book. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the scene of the emperor who was as beautiful as a banished immortal. What a waste of time! "Your Majesty, are you sleepy?" Tong Xiang looked innocent. Mo Rongsu's thin lips curled up."If my beloved consort can't sleep at night, I'll send someone to send poems and songs to cultivate her sentiments." Tong Xiang was petrified and fled. Mo Rongsu hated the imperial consort. Tong Xiang had to take over this mess the moment she arrived. She had no power and only a beautiful face. Thinking about the fate of the vicious supporting actress in the future, he thought that he had to keep his life first. Being close to the water pavilion…Ah pui! He had to ease his relationship with the male lead first. As for the other female leads, supporting male leads, and so on, I'm sorry, we're not familiar with each other. Whatever you do, I won't be able to do anything to you. Please don't stop me from cultivating my husband and wife relationship with the male lead. Just like that, day after day, she boiled soup and brought water to the male lead, recruiting concubines and taking in concubines. Tong Xiang thought that this imperial concubine was doing her best than the empress. However, this cheap husband was still not satisfied. In the end, he finally decided to let the female protagonist get close to a good husband. This time, he should be satisfied. Tong Xiang felt that she was really understanding! After that, the personal maidservant looked at the relationship between the Imperial Consort and the Emperor and felt that it was not ordinary. One day, Tong Xiang opened her eyes in her sleep and saw the Emperor lying on his side being awakened."Your Majesty, have you come to the wrong place? This is my bed. Yours is over there." Mo Rongsu buried his head in Tong Xiang's neck. He opened his long and narrow eyes. His gaze was deep."When did I say I was going back?" (The real tiger, the bold and seductive Tong Xiang, versus the fake gentle, the real scheming Mo Rongsu)
