Lorenzo Holmes, who arrived in Old Dunling six years ago, now mingles in this city of steel and steam as a private detective. Here he has encountered a strange case. "So, there's something wrong with Wol's body?" "I pierced through his cervical vertebrae... His carotid artery ruptured, massive internal bleeding ensued, and he quickly died, but the bizarre thing happened then." "He should have died... he definitely died, but his heart was still beating, beating wildly. You could say his brain was dead, but the body was still alive, extracting fresh blood from the bullet holes."

In her past life, Shen Xi always longed for love and validation from her parents, members of the wealthy Su family. Unfortunately, the attention that she yearned for was stolen by the family’s fake heiress – her elder sister, Su Ruowan. As a result of Su Ruowan’s evil plans, Shen Xi was crippled, disfigured and eventually died of leukemia. However, in a surprising turn of events, Shen Xi was reborn. Returned to the time when she was a seventeen-year-old teenager, she’ll set things right and get her revenge against the Su family.

In her previous life, her mother suffered heartbreak and betrayal from her father, who misplaced his trust and met a tragic end. After a cruel twist of fate, she was exiled to a remote village for 19 years and ultimately lost her life at the hands of the Hampton family. Now, given a second chance at life, she vows to avenge her mother and herself. Fueled by fierce determination, she embarks on a mission to dismantle the treacherous scumbag and the deceitful white lotus who betrayed her. Along the way, she finds herself in an unexpected, sweet relationship with her seemingly "cheap" husband. The world is shocked and confused by her return. "Isn't she the village girl who was exiled for 19 years and killed by the Hampton family?" they whisper. But powerful allies emerge from her past: Her Uncle, a powerful corporate president, declares, "That's my precious niece." Her Second Uncle, a top celebrity, states, "I'm here for a discussion." Her Little Uncle, a champion in electronic competitions, stands ready to support her. And then there’s her husband. Known to many as a disabled man, he surprises everyone by saying, "That's my wife." When questioned about his disability, a knowing smile spreads across his face. "I'll only be crippled in front of her," he reveals, his mysterious aura hinting at hidden depths and formidable strength. Together, they form an unbreakable alliance, ready to dominate the world and take down anyone who dares to stand in their way.

After being betrayed by her fiancé and cousin on her wedding day, Zara, reborn with memories of past mistakes, vows to rewrite her destiny. Impulsively, she marries a stranger to keep her ex at bay, not realizing Snow is far from a mere call boy. Snow Zephyr, a wealthy CEO and alpha of the Ivory Crescent Pack, needs a contract wife to appease his father and secure his position. When a bold, determined woman proposes a marriage of convenience, Snow agrees, unaware of the chaos she will bring into his life. Zara's defiant choice provokes her parents' fury, leading to her being cast from the company and forcing her to find work elsewhere. She lands a job at Aurora Conglomerate Inc., only to discover that her new boss is Snow, the very man she married—and her ex's uncle. Sparks fly as their mutual attraction grows amidst the darkness of his family's secrets and looming threats. Zara’s strength and independence captivate Snow, who begins to see her as the potential Luna his pack needs. Together, they face vengeful ex-lovers, kidnapping plots, and deadly rivalries. As Zara's powers awaken, she must confront the reasons behind her family's disownment, the hidden clauses in her marriage contract, and her ultimate role in Snow’s world. When their marriage of convenience deepens into a genuine partnership, a new challenge emerges in the form of a fated mate. Will Zara fight the dangers that await or embrace her true destiny? **EXCERPT** "I... didn't want to be late for work. You seemed busy, so I thought I'd get a head start." Snow raised an eyebrow. "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.

Als eine kühne, entschlossene Frau ihm eine Vernunftehe vorschlägt, stimmt Snow zu, nicht ahnend, welches Chaos sie in sein Leben bringen wird. Zaras trotzige Entscheidung provoziert den Zorn ihrer Eltern, was dazu führt, dass sie aus der Firma geworfen wird und gezwungen ist, woanders Arbeit zu finden. Sie findet einen Job bei Aurora Conglomerate Inc. und muss feststellen, dass ihr neuer Chef Snow ist, der Mann, den sie geheiratet hat - und der Onkel ihres Ex.

Gemeinsam stellen sie sich rachsüchtigen Ex-Geliebten, Entführungskomplotten und tödlichen Rivalitäten. Als Zaras Kräfte erwachen, muss sie sich mit den Gründen für die Enteignung durch ihre Familie, den versteckten Klauseln in ihrem Ehevertrag und ihrer endgültigen Rolle in Snows Welt auseinandersetzen. Als sich ihre Vernunftehe zu einer echten Partnerschaft vertieft, taucht eine neue Herausforderung in Form einer Schicksalsgefährtin auf. Wird Zara gegen die Gefahren ankämpfen, die sie erwarten, oder sich ihrer wahren Bestimmung stellen? **AUSZUG** "Ich... wollte nicht zu spät zur Arbeit kommen. Du schienst beschäftigt zu sein, also dachte ich, ich fange schon mal an." Snow hob eine Augenbraue. "Wirklich? Oder liegt es daran, dass dich die letzte Nacht so sehr mitgenommen hat, dass du meine Nähe nicht ertragen konntest?" "Schmeichle dir nicht selbst, Snow. Du hast mich nicht im Geringsten beeinflusst." Er schmunzelte und trat näher heran. "Ist das so?" Seine Finger strichen über mein Kinn und hoben mein Gesicht an. Mein Puls beschleunigte sich. "Wir sind bei der Arbeit", schnauzte ich und schlug seine Hand weg. "Das ist nicht professionell." "Du bist meine Frau", murmelte er. "Du hast mir immer zu gehorchen." Ich verkniff mir eine Erwiderung, ein Hauch von Rebellion flammte in mir auf. Langsam trat ich näher und ließ meine Finger über seine Brust streifen. Sein Grinsen schwankte für eine Sekunde, als sein Wolf reagierte und Snow sich auf die Lippen biss. "Vorsichtig, Boss", säuselte ich verführerisch. "Tu diesen Lippen nicht weh. Ich bin sicher, viele Mädchen würden sie gerne küssen." Snow beugte sich hinunter, seine Lippen streiften mein Ohr. "Und du? Willst du unbedingt mal probieren?" Überrumpelt zögerte ich, dann gewann ich meine Fassung wieder, als ich ihm in die Augen sah. "Im Gegensatz zu anderen Mädchen habe ich einen starken Widerstand gegen..." Ich konnte nicht zu Ende sprechen, als Snows Lippen mit einem heftigen Kuss auf meine trafen, der mir den Atem raubte. *************** REIFER INHALT Ich nehme am Viral Book Call Contest teil.

Düğün gününde nişanlısı ve kuzeni tarafından ihanete uğrayan Zara, geçmiş hatıralarıyla yeniden doğar ve kaderini yeniden yazmaya yemin eder. Dürtüsel olarak, eski sevgilisini uzak tutmak için bir yabancıyla evlenir, ancak Snow'un basit bir çağrı oğlandan çok daha fazlası olduğunu fark etmez. Snow Zephyr, zengin bir CEO ve Ivory Crescent Sürüsü'nün alfası, babasını memnun etmek ve konumunu güvence altına almak için bir anlaşmalı eşe ihtiyaç duyar. Cesur, kararlı bir kadın bir anlaşmalı evlilik teklif ettiğinde, Snow hayatına getireceği kaosun farkında olmadan kabul eder. Zara'nın meydan okuyan seçimi ebeveynlerinin öfkesini provoke eder, şirketten atılmasına ve başka bir yerde iş bulmasına sebep olur. Aurora Conglomerate Inc.'de bir iş bulur, ancak yeni patronunun evlendiği adam olan Snow olduğunu - ve eski sevgilisinin amcası olduğunu keşfeder. Karşılıklı çekimleri, ailesinin sırları ve yaklaşan tehditler arasında kıvılcımlar uçuşur. Zara'nın gücü ve bağımsızlığı, onu sürüsünün ihtiyaç duyduğu potansiyel Luna olarak görmeye başlayan Snow'u büyüler. Birlikte, intikam peşindeki eski sevgililerle, kaçırma komploları ve ölümcül rekabetlerle yüzleşirler. Zara'nın güçleri uyandıkça, ailesinin onu reddetmesinin arkasındaki nedenleri, evlilik sözleşmesindeki gizli maddeleri ve Snow'un dünyasındaki asıl rolünü kabullenmek zorunda kalır. Anlaşmalı evlilikleri gerçek bir ortaklığa dönüştüğünde, kader eşi şeklinde yeni bir meydan okuma ortaya çıkar. Zara, bekleyen tehlikelerle savaşacak mı yoksa gerçek kaderini kucaklayacak mı? **ALINTI** "Ben... işe geç kalmak istemedim. Meşgul görünüyordun, bu yüzden öne geçmeyi düşündüm." Snow bir kaşını kaldırdı. "Gerçekten mi? Yoksa dün gece seni o kadar çok etkiledi ki etrafımda duramıyor musun?" "Kendini pohpohlama, Snow. Beni hiç etkilemedin." Gülümseyerek yaklaştı. "Öyle mi?" Parmakları çeneme dokundu, yüzümü kaldırdı. Nabzım hızlandı. "İşteyiz," diye çıkıştım, elini uzaklaştırarak. "Bu profesyonel değil." "Sen benim eşimsin," diye mırıldandı. "Bana her zaman itaat etmen gerekiyor." Bir karşılık vermemek için kendimi tuttum, içimde bir isyan kıvılcımı parlıyordu. Yavaşça yaklaştım, parmaklarımın göğsüne dokunmasına izin verdim. Kurdu tepki verdiğinde gülümsemesi bir anlığına titredi ve Snow dudaklarını ısırdı. "Dikkatli ol, Patron," diye baştan çıkarıcı bir şekilde mırıldandım. "O dudaklarına zarar verme. Eminim birçok kız onları öpmek isterdi." Snow eğildi, dudakları kulağıma dokundu. "Ya sen? Bir tat almak için ölüyor musun?" Hazırlıksız yakalandım, tereddüt ettim, sonra ona gözlerine bakarak kendimi topladım. "Diğer kızların aksine, benim güçlü bir direnç—" Snow'un dudakları benimkilere çarpıp nefessiz bırakan vahşi bir öpücükle cümlemi bitirme fırsatım olmadı. *************** YETİŞKİN İÇERİK Viral Kitap Çağrı Yarışmasına Katılıyor.

Setelah dikhianati oleh tunangannya dan sepupunya di hari pernikahannya, Zara, yang terlahir kembali dengan ingatan kesalahan masa lalunya, bersumpah untuk menulis ulang takdirnya. Secara impulsif, dia menikah dengan orang asing untuk menjauhkan mantannya, tanpa menyadari bahwa Snow bukanlah sekedar panggilan anak laki-laki biasa. Snow Zephyr, seorang CEO kaya dan alfa dari Ivory Crescent Pack, membutuhkan istri kontrak untuk menyenangkan ayahnya dan mengamankan posisinya. Ketika seorang wanita yang berani dan bertekad mengusulkan pernikahan yang nyaman, Snow setuju, tanpa menyadari kekacauan yang akan dia bawa ke dalam hidupnya. Pilihan Zara yang menentang memprovokasi kemarahan orang tuanya, menyebabkan dia diusir dari perusahaan dan terpaksa mencari pekerjaan di tempat lain. Dia mendapatkan pekerjaan di Aurora Conglomerate Inc., hanya untuk menemukan bahwa bos barunya adalah Snow, pria yang dia nikahi—dan paman mantannya. Percikan terbang saat ketertarikan timbal balik mereka tumbuh di tengah kegelapan rahasia keluarga pria itu dan ancaman yang mengintai. Kekuatan dan kemandirian Zara memikat Snow, yang mulai melihatnya sebagai Luna potensial yang dibutuhkan paknya. Bersama, mereka menghadapi mantan kekasih yang dendam, plot penculikan, dan persaingan mematikan. Ketika kekuatan Zara terbangun, dia harus menghadapi alasan di balik pemutusan hubungan keluarganya, klausul tersembunyi dalam kontrak pernikahannya, dan peran utamanya di dunia Snow. Ketika pernikahan mereka yang nyaman berubah menjadi kemitraan yang nyata, tantangan baru muncul dalam bentuk pasangan yang ditakdirkan. Akankah Zara melawan bahaya yang menanti atau menerima takdirnya yang sebenarnya?

Après avoir été trahie par son fiancé et sa cousine le jour de son mariage, Zara, ressuscitée avec les souvenirs de ses erreurs passées, jure de réécrire son destin. Sur un coup de tête, elle épouse un inconnu pour tenir son ex à distance, sans réaliser que Snow est loin d'être un simple gigolo. Snow Zephyr, riche PDG et alpha de la meute d'Ivory Crescent, a besoin d'une épouse de convenance pour apaiser son père et sécuriser sa position. Lorsqu'une femme déterminée lui propose un mariage de commodité, Snow accepte, ignorant le chaos qu'elle va apporter dans sa vie. Le choix défiant de Zara provoque la fureur de ses parents, la conduisant à être expulsée de l'entreprise et à devoir trouver du travail ailleurs. Elle décroche un emploi chez Aurora Conglomerate Inc., pour découvrir que son nouveau patron n'est autre que Snow, l'homme qu'elle a épousé et l'oncle de son ex. Des étincelles jaillissent alors que leur attraction mutuelle grandit au milieu de l'obscurité des secrets de sa famille et des menaces imminentes. La force et l'indépendance de Zara captivent Snow, qui commence à la voir comme la Luna potentielle dont sa meute a besoin. Ensemble, ils font face aux ex-amants vengeurs, aux complots d'enlèvement et aux rivalités mortelles. Alors que les pouvoirs de Zara s'éveillent, elle doit affronter les raisons du désaveu de sa famille, les clauses cachées de son contrat de mariage et son rôle ultime dans le monde de Snow. Lorsque leur mariage de convenance se transforme en un vrai partenariat, un nouveau défi se présente sous la forme d'un compagnon destiné. Zara va-t-elle combattre les dangers qui l'attendent ou embrasser sa véritable destinée? **EXTRAIT** "Je... ne voulais pas être en retard au travail. Tu avais l'air occupé, alors j'ai pensé que je devrais prendre de l'avance." Snow haussa un sourcil. "Vraiment? Ou est-ce parce que la nuit dernière t'a tellement affectée que tu ne supportais pas d'être autour de moi?" "Ne te flatte pas, Snow. Tu ne m'as pas du tout affectée." Il afficha un sourire narquois en se rapprochant. "Vraiment?" Ses doigts effleurèrent mon menton, inclinant mon visage vers le haut. Mon pouls s'accéléra. "Nous sommes au travail," je répliquai, repoussant sa main. "Ce n'est pas professionnel." "Tu es ma femme," il murmura. "Tu es censée m'obéir en tout temps." Je retins une réplique, une lueur de rébellion s'allumant en moi. Lentement, je me rapprochai, laissant mes doigts frôler son torse. Son sourire vacilla un instant lorsque son loup réagit et Snow se mordit les lèvres. "Attention, Patron," je ronronnai séductrice. "Ne blesse pas ces lèvres. Je suis sûr que beaucoup de filles aimeraient les embrasser." Snow se pencha, frôlant mon oreille de ses lèvres. "Et toi? Meurs-tu d'envie d'y goûter?" Prise au dépourvu, j'hésitai, puis repris mon assurance alors que je le regardais dans les yeux. "Contrairement aux autres filles, j'ai une forte résistance contre—" Je n'eus pas l'occasion de terminer que les lèvres de Snow se posèrent sur les miennes avec un baiser fougueux qui me coupa le souffle.
