[COMPLETED] She leaned down to look inside the well and sighed. Tucking back her hair behind her ear as the evening wind blew. "I told you not to be a curious cat," she scolded looking at the well to receive a small 'meow' from it. Her cat had stepped on the edge of the well no matter how many times she placed it back on the ground and as expected it fell inside it, "You know what I'm going to leave you here and get you once you reflect on what you did," she said firmly and heard her cat meowing non-stop as though it was asking for her forgiveness. Spotting a bucket with a rope around it she took it and lowered the object down carefully but the length fell short. The cat could get into it if it tried but it seemed to have different plans as it sat down. She leaned forward as she stood on her toes, making the bucket touch the cat. "A little more and you can provide the cat with your company," a voice said behind her, leading her to almost fall in if it weren't for the stranger's hands. "My my, what a troublesome girl," the owner of the hands around her waist said. Lillian was adopted by a demon couple and was happy with how her life was going on until an unfortunate incident. An incident that will pull her back to where she belongs. Juggling with her past and present will she survive the future?4.44
“I'm on the hunt for someone special, someone who would howl at the full moon with me. And you, my dear, seem to check all the right boxes,” Thorin tried to seduce Riona with his mesmerizing gaze. “Not in this lifetime, not in any lifetime.” But Riona couldn’t stand the sight of that smug face. What did Thorin hope to gain from a fangless vampire who couldn’t even turn into a bat, anyway? There must be something seriously wrong with the brain of that infuriating Alpha werewolf. *** Since their parents died, Riona Kahler and her brother have been adopted by the King of Eira, who treats them more like overworked houseplants than a cherished family. As the only vampires in Eira without fangs, they're outcasts among their own kind, toothless and ridiculed. Riona's spirit remains unbroken until her brother falls ill due to the palace's cruelty. Determined to protect him, Riona vows to escape, but there's only one way to do that. Thorin Klein is one of the most famous Alpha werewolves, renowned not only for his charming looks but also for claiming the Alpha title at the tender age of thirteen. Despite his howling success, his mother’s powerful werewolf clan, the Klein, never acknowledged him because his father went rogue. Determined to prove his worth to the Klein clan, Thorin believes he has finally found a potential solution. Though Riona couldn’t stand being around Thorin for more than one second, Riona realizes that marriage is their only path to achieving their goals. It's a love story that bites and barks in all the right places. #werewolf #Alpha #vampire #fromslavetoqueen #enemiestolovers #strongFL #contractmarriageIn a pack that sees her as nothing more than an outcast, Leslie has spent her life concealing her true self.

Scarletts Welt bricht zusammen, als sie unter Drogen gesetzt und gezwungen wird, einen alten, stinkreichen Witwer mit fünf Kindern zu heiraten. Um ihren scheinbar unausweichlichen Problemen zu entkommen, nimmt sie ein einjähriges Heiratsangebot eines mysteriösen Mannes an.

Machen Sie sich bereit für eine fesselnde Geschichte, die Sie von Anfang bis Ende fesseln wird und die rätselhaften Geheimnisse von Scarletts Leben aufdeckt. ******* Nur eine verrückte Person würde sein Angebot annehmen. Und im Moment fällt sie nicht in diese Kategorie. Sie ist noch bei klarem Verstand. "Verstehen Sie mich bitte nicht falsch. Ich versuche nur, mir selbst zu helfen. Und gleichzeitig dir zu helfen." Scarlett war noch mehr verwirrt. "Ich weiß, mein Problem ist kompliziert. Aber ich denke, mit einem Mann verheiratet zu sein, den ich gerade erst kennengelernt habe, ohne Liebe, fühlt sich komisch an..." sagte sie. "Das ist keine echte Ehe, sondern eine Vertragsehe, die du zu deinem Vorteil einrichten kannst. Und auch zu meinem." Scarlett hörte schweigend zu; innerlich war sie schockiert und ein wenig verwirrt. Xander verschränkte seine Arme vor der Brust und sah Scarlett in die Augen. Er fuhr fort: "Wie ich bereits gesagt habe, werde ich dir helfen, und gleichzeitig wirst du mir helfen. Ich brauche nicht zu erklären, was mein Problem ist. Aber ich versichere dir, wenn du dich bereit erklärst, eine Vertragsehe mit mir einzugehen, dann werden deine Probleme gelöst sein. Also, was denkst du!?" Scarlett hatte es nicht eilig, zu sprechen. Sie hob langsam den Kopf und sagte: "Ich kann also jede beliebige Klausel in den Vertrag schreiben?" Der Mann nickt und sagt: "Solange es mir nicht schadet." Sie bot Xander einen Händedruck an: "Okay, abgemacht!" ____ Weitere Tags: #Rache, #Hacker #Bösewicht #Komödie, #Action, #Assassine, #Genie, #Romanze, #vernarrterEhemann ____ Wie Sie mich kontaktieren können: >> Instagram-Account: authorpurplelight >> Meinem Discord Server beitreten: https://bit.ly/purplelightserver _____ Anmerkungen: Dieses Buchcover gehört dem Autor; bitte nicht weiterverwenden. _____

"....She was his drug, he was her water..." ............. Arissa had always been an avid fan of freedom. She hated nothing more than being tied down to a relationship, especially when she was still in her early twenties. Yet, her parents had come up with an ultimatum marriage proposal. Strong-willed, confident, independent, and wild Arissa was forced to be humble to her parents and grant their wish of doing something extreme to her to save the life of someone she loves to a fault... And let's not forget, she lives for that person. Fast forwarding to Nicklaus Wyatt, we have a successful, cold-hearted, and Dominant CEO. On the outside, he is the most successful man on planet Earth and the most eligible bachelor but on the inside, he is an extremely damaged and broken soul of no repairs. His mysterious Aura also made it extremely hard for anyone to come close so, they just admired him from a distance. He only has one wish and that is to expand his empire more and not some stupid marriage proposal. So, do we think he would accept the marriage deal?? ....... "I'm your wife and yet, we live like strangers do!" Arissa seethed, gripping his tie in her fist as she tried to support herself. "Of course, it would eventually result in something as ridiculous as a cheating scandal. We aren't even acting like a normal couple should!" She emphasized lowly. Bringing her hand to wrap around his neck, she suddenly missed her footing again and then, she braced herself for the fall about to come but surprisingly, a strong arm for the second time in a night, held her waist firmly. Arissa smiled drunkenly as she made herself comfortable in his strong arms. Bringing her both hands to his checks, she gave them a pinch. "You were scared I would fall?" she asked him with a drunken smile. Yet, that smile was quickly replaced with a frown when she met with nothing but a cold gaze in reply. She pouted and brought her hand to his mouth. Tracing his lips with her slender fingers, "We don't even kiss" she complained with a smile, and at the same time, unknown tears slipped from her eyes. Nicklaus stared at her tears and down at her plump-tinted red lips. He stared at her face again and at her eyes that are already fully stocked with tears and without a second thought, he bent slightly and gave her a light kiss on her lips. SPOILER ALERT::Don't expect a fast romance. Romance would come late because both ML and FL are hard to tame. Their relationship would also go through numerous ups and downs, including occasional break-ups, aggressive ex-girlfriends, attempted murderers, and more. But, would their love strive through all the obstacles or would a few blows and manipulation crumble them Disclaimer: cover is not mine. Daily update, 14 chapters a week. Bonus chapters when pleased.
