Chapter 1Chapter One

The library is jam-packed, as it usually is during midterms. But of the hundreds of students in here, only about half are actually studying; the remaining half is split between those snagging a good library sleep and those using the free wifi here for things completely unrelated to studying- like the guy I pass on my way to the shelf typing 'pornhub' on his search bar.

I turn my face away, face involuntarily scrunched up. When I get to the shelves, I grab a few books for my intro to psychology class and go back to my study group table.

Yes, I am part of the studying population.

"So guys, I was thinking it's best to divide and conquer seeing how bulky the course load is-" I say as I drop the textbooks on the table, just to look up and see that all my friends are busy on their phones.

My friends, apparently, aren't part of the studying population.

"Guys" I snap my fingers in front of them to their attention but to no avail. "Hello, earth to y'all"

Still no response.

I reach out and snatch a phone straight out of one of their hands.

"Hey, not cool" the guy, Calum, says and tries to reach out for his phone but I hold it away from his grasp.

"What's not cool is that we came here to study, not watch…" I trail off and look at the phone screen for a few seconds. "the network news?"

Calum uses the opportunity of me being thrown off to grab his phone back. "Yeah, we're watching the breaking headlines" he says

"There was an attack last night" Thea, my bestfriend, says. "At the local farm; all the livestock were brutally murdered, flesh torn and all"

Noah, Thea's boyfriend, speaks up next. "Most people are speculating that it's just a random wild animal attack but there's another crazy theory circulating. With the nature of the attacks and the scratch marks and all, some people believe that-"

"Werewolves are back" Calum finishes the sentence, his voice lowered to sound dark and conspiratorial.

Just as I'm about to respond, someone comes up behind me and places a kiss on my neck before settling down beside me. It is my boyfriend, Jesse.

"What's up, guys?" He says with his signature smile. "I can't help but notice that Eloise is here yet the textbooks are still closed"

"We were just talking about the local farm attack" Thea says

"Oh, yeah, I saw that in the news earlier" Jesse sits up. "What are your theories?"

"I for one think that the whole werewolf thing is completely ridiculous" Thea says. "I mean, there hasn't been a werewolf sighting in years and then what, they just reappear and start killing random animals? Nah"

"But the evidence is there" Calum counters. "Let's be real here, what other creature could have made such claw marks?"

"Uh, I don't know, real wolves?"

"You guys are missing the point here" I cut in, raising my voice above theirs, "point being that they most definitely won't ask us about werewolves during our midterms so if we could please focus and drop our phones" I look pointedly at them one after the other till they give in and drop their phones.

"Thank you" I smile sweetly and open one of the textbooks in front of me. "So as I was saying about dividing and conquering, maybe we'll split it by topic; Thea and Calum should take schools in psychology while Jesse, Noah and I will take-"

"But what if it really was a werewolf attack?" Noah cuts in suddenly. "That would mean werewolves are still living amongst us; that there are werewolves in this school and maybe," he smirks and looks at each of us suspiciously, "there's a werewolf on this table"

"Noah, please let's leave the werewolf tal-" I begin

"If there's a werewolf on this table, it's definitely going to be Calum" Jesse says. "I mean, he's got the hairy and gruff part down"

Calum scratches the stubble on his chin. "Hey, just because I'm a little behind on shaving doesn't make me a monster, I'm not gonna take that accusation lightly, you know" contrary to his words, he is grinning. "If there's a werewolf on this table, it'll most definitely be Eloise: uptight, bossy and oh look, she's twitching, probably hungry for my blood"

I'm indeed twitching, but simply because I'm trying my best to not sucker punch Calum right now.

"Ha ha, very funny" I manage to bite out with a forced smile. "Now, can we please get back to the matter at hand without any more distractions?"

"Okay, alpha wolf" Jesse comments under his breath with a small chuckle and I give him a menacing side glare.

"Sorry, babe" he quickly says, laughter faded out, and pecks mu cheek.

I divide the topics among us and we finally get to study in silence for a while until Calum yawns loudly.

"I can't focus anymore, I'm starving" he says and stretches. "I call for a lunch break"

"You can't call for a lunch break, it's too early" I say

"I'm actually pretty hungry" Thea says. "I wouldn't mind getting something to eat"

"Yeah, same here" Noah says, getting up with Calum and Jesse nods in agreement.

"You should eat something too, El, didn't you skip breakfast?" Thea gets up.

"I'll get something later. Right now, I just want to get past chapter three-"

"Nah, I'll get something for you" Jesse says, getting up. "What do you want?"

I smile gratefully. I haven't eaten because I am short on cash at the moment.

But never would I admit to that.

"An everything bagel with cream cheese and a frappucino, please"

"You got it" he leans down and pecks my lips.

"Ah, so you were hungry," Calum smirks, "I'm not surprised though, werewolves are known to have huge appetites"

I roll my eyes. "Give it a rest, Cal"

He laughs and the four of them walk away, leaving me.

I sigh and organise the textbooks on the table, closing them up after marking the pages.

There's no harm if I take a little break myself.

I think back to the news about the lifestock attack and what it could mean for Krystal City.

I'll have to agree with Thea- it's close to ridiculous to think that werewolves could have done it. I mean, it would've been plausible fifty years ago during the height of the human-werewolf conflict but a lot has changed since then. We won the war. Werewolves were caught and mass executed, save for the few that managed to escape, never to show themselves again. Even if, somehow, there are still some werewolves in Krystal City, they wouldn't dare show themselves by blatantly attacking a farm. And they most definitely won't be hiding in plain sight like Noah thinks; anti-werewolf legislature made sure of that, and from kindergarten, they'd taught us how to identify a werewolf from their physical appearance. It was a simple poem:

'If they have long nails and sharp, pointy teeth,

With long ears and more hair than any human you'll ever meet,

Then it's a big, bad werewolf you see;

Run away before you become its next meal.'

But whatever the cause of the attack was, it doesn't matter. Sure, animals were killed and the farmer suffered a loss, but no human life was lost, so why is everyone making it a big deal?

"You know, when you sit at the group table, you're meant to have a group" a voice says above me, dragging me out of my thoughts.

I look up to see that it's none other than Asher, my…well, basically my archenemy.

Asher and I used to be friends back in elementary and middle school, best friends even, but then high came along and really put a strain on our friendship. We started competing for the same things till the lines blurred and everything became a personal battle. Then, one day during our junior year, he became completely cold towards me and in the blink of an eye, sixteen years of friendship went down the drain.

"You know, when you don't have anything better to say, you shut the fuck up" I retort and stick out my tongue.

"You know, I was just on my way to meet the dean. Now I just have to make him aware that he admitted a child"

"I must be a child prodigy then, since I'm taking most of the same classes with you and getting better grades" I smile sweetly. "But while you're at the dean's, please do make sure to add that fact"

Asher mimics me before walking off.

I roll my eyes and decide that perhaps, I've taken too long a break, so I open one of the textbooks in front of me and pick up my pencil.

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.

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.

Reborn As Cursed Alpha's Mate

What happens when a goddess falls in love with a shifter? Asara; the goddess of love, was punished by her father, the god of thunder. Her crime being falling in love with a mortal shifter Alpha. To pay for her sins she was reborn as Cassandra LeBlanc; a mortal Princess in the magical Kingdom of Speldaria. Her family and kingdom, except her middle sister, shunned her for she was born without any magical abilities and she had no recollections of her true identity. Her betrothed, the powerful mage commander of the Speldaria, was unbothered by her. He wished for someone strong. Cassandra’s life was toppled when she was gifted a warrior slave by the mighty Alpha of Dusartine. She was asked to take part in the Yearly Arena Event by collaborating with the warrior. Cassandra who hated ‘The Arena’ with her very breath. A place where blood flowed like wine and life was cheaper than the very air they breathed didn't understand her purpose in it. On top of that, the mysterious warrior affected her in unimaginable ways. His hypnotic gaze unsettled her. His rare essence overwhelmed her. His muscular bronzed body consumed her with sinful thoughts. Even the dreams of her past life plagued her. When ‘The Arena' began the hidden agendas and underlying truths came to light and Cassandra was played a hand of fate. She was left with no choice but to give in and choose a path. The question would be. How will Cassandra grapple once she learns of the curse placed on her? Will she be able to obtain her magical abilities and stand up to her father? Who will help her along the journey? ~Excerpt~ Then she felt him, all of him. All his ruggedness. The strength of his arm. The softness of his lips. The grip of his hand. The warmth of his breath. Every muscle in her body went taut at the implications of sleeping in a man’s arms. She had never slept in a male’s embrace before. Her whole skin tingled like tiny sparks dancing on the very parts that connected with him. The crevices of her brain had these memories which weren't hers. This touch somehow didn't seem foreign to her. She felt safe in his soothing embrace and didn't wish to push him away and yet she knew this was far from appropriate. Cassandra tried to wriggle out of his hold, his arms seemed to be built from iron for they wouldn't budge. The light garment she had worn had lifted from her milky thigh baring it as his bronzed muscular one was draped on it. And now she could sense something poking her back. Her eyes suddenly expanded from the realisation and Cassandra fully panicked. “Let go!” She voiced out, heavily. Siroos slowly lifted his leg and slackened his hold on her waist so she could shuffle away. He had awakened when she had stiffened for the first time but wished to behold what she would try. With eyes blown wide she stole a glance towards the man who had her wrapped in his embrace like a precious treasure, his treasure. His molten gold eyes had flickered open and there was this softness and want with which he stared at her. Those soft brown curls cascaded over his eyes as he forgot to blink, watching the timeless beauty that she was. Her one-of-a-kind fragrance was a torture to his senses. How he wished to grab her dainty ankle, pull her from it and have her sprawled underneath him. To kiss the very skin that oozed such scent which was driving him insane. Instead, he bent his arm and placed it under his cheek using it like a pillow to watch her with desire-filled eyes. The awkward lull between them prolonged as Cassandra cleared her throat. “Did you have to climb on me to sleep?” “It wasn't intentional but was certainly enticing and definitely won't be the last time.” His deeply hypnotic voice was even more alluring this early in the morning as it resonated all around her. The book cover is mine.

Betrayed by Blood, Claimed by the Alpha

“P-please let me go..” I stammered and before I knew it, I was word vomiting while crying. “—I won’t return. You won’t ever see me again. I know you don’t want me as a mate. You hate me, so please let me go.” I cried out. Cain’s jaw tightened with each word that left my lips “What gave you the idea that you have the power to choose what you want?” His voice was low, “You don’t get to decide what, how, and when you leave. Only I get to do that. You don’t get to leave me, you don’t get to run! You only leave when I want you to.” "I didn’t ask for this,” I whispered, trembling. “I didn’t ask to be your mate.” Cain stepped back, “Neither did I,” he muttered under his breath. “But the bond doesn’t give us a choice, does it?” ~~~~ As the only child of her late Alpha father, Avery Jae was meant to inherit her family’s legacy. But on the day of her arranged marriage to Alpha Lucian, her world crumbles.

Alpha Cain has a reputation that sends chills down the spine of even the most dangerous warriors. Haunted by his dark past, he has vowed never to take a mate, yet the moment he lays eyes on Avery, everything changes. With a single word, Avery is bound to Cain—whether he wants it or not. In a world where betrayal runs deep, can Avery ever trust the alpha who might just be her worst enemy.

Was it you that night?

On the eve of their wedding, Yan Changsheng brought back a girl and publicly called off the marriage. Only then did Shen Qinghe realize that Yan Changsheng was the crazy male lead from a book, and the girl was the irresistible female protagonist. As for her, she was just early cannon fodder fated to die, and her elder sister was the malevolent female supporting character whom everyone wanted to beat up. Tsk, the plot is just freaking ridiculous! After awakening, Shen Qinghe busied herself with cultivation, protecting her elder sister. Yet, unknowingly seizing the female protagonist's luck, she attracted several crazy male leads, each of them forcibly taking what they wanted from her. She thought Dongfang Wuya was relatively normal, but who knew he was crazier, actually seizing the position of Heavenly Emperor and then forcibly marrying her to become the Heavenly Empress! ** As the high and mighty belle of the cultivation world, Dongfang Wuya had countless admirers and fans. Yet he was devoted to cultivation, treating love as if it were dirt. Initially thinking Shen Qinghe was deeply in love with him, he sternly advised her, "Focus on your cultivation, do not get distracted by romantic entanglements!" Later, irked by her dedication to cultivation, he pressed her into his arms and kissed her, seductively coaxing with a playful smile, "Be my Daoist companion, and I'll aid you in cultivation, hmm?"
