At the verge of losing his appointment at the peak of his career, Erica offered to sign a marriage contract of three years with Henry as an appreciation for saving her life. “Congratulations ma. You're two weeks gone!” The doctor told Erica when she regained consciousness after three hours of being unconscious. “Oh no! I'm in a big mess! Our contract is ending by next week and this was never part of our deal!” Erica lamented instead of rejoicing over the news of her pregnancy, wondering if to inform Henry or just terminate the pregnancy secretly. “Your blood is not a match sir. It will be good if you find her blood match with immediate effect because she's in a critical condition,” Dr Hanson told Erica's father, who wanted to donate his blood to save his daughter's life on the sick bed.

Will she give him her son? Or will she get married to him?
“You will either strip and get on the bed, or go down on your knees and beg for my forgiveness. Choose one, princess.” Athena’s heart thundered like a runaway train as Hector’s dark, powerful gaze flickered over her semi-naked body. She tightened her fingers into fists and gave him a stubborn glare; “Neither! I will do no such thing. I will die before I let you touch me again, Hector.” His lips curved in a smirk and his golden wolf eyes gleamed dangerously. “Three years ago, I let you run away from me with my children. I let you do whatever you wanted. I’m sorry but your time for enjoyment has run out. You’re mine now. Mine to do as I please. Henceforth, we will be doing things my way.

AUTHOR NOTE: The first forty chapters are written in various points of view but often from a male perspective. This is story is a primarily female voiced story. After chapter 44 the split is about 90/10 female to male. The story arc demanded that the male characters are well fleshed out because most of the rest of the story is about the lead female and her story arc. I hope that helps to answer some questions.

The guests laugh at us. They call our couple all sort of names. "The prince charming and the pancakes' eater Kelly" is one I can sadly remember." "I, Jason Bentley of the South pack, reject you Kelly Thompson as my mate and the Luna Queen," he declared fiercely. *** Kelly Thompson, an eighteen-year-old curvaceous and wolfless she-wolf, has been quietly admiring Jason Bentley, the heir apparent to the throne of the dominant South pack, for a number of years.

But, the plump Kelly has an advantage over the skinny Betty because of a strong vow made by Jason's father, the Alpha King Don Bentley, that his son will marry the daughter of his Betas who gave their lives two years ago in a fight against the North pack's fiercest adversaries in order to preserve the life of the Alpha heir. But clearly, nothing goes as smoothly as Kelly imagines.

Discord: https://discord.gg/fAjMB7eFDnShe hadn’t expected to be cornered like this, not here, not now. His tall frame loomed over her, blocking any escape as he stood inches from her, pinning her to the wall with his presence alone. His hand rested just above her head, his fingers brushing the cool surface of the locker, creating a barrier that trapped her in place. Her breath caught, her heart thundering in her chest as she realized how little space was left between them. His eyes were dark, full of something she couldn’t decipher but desperately wanted to understand. He stared at her, not saying anything at first, just letting the silence stretch between them. She could feel her pulse race, her face flushing, her body frozen, even though she wanted to push him away. “What are you going to do about it?” he asked, his voice smooth, teasing, and filled with a challenge. There was something in the way he spoke, something that made her stomach twist with a mixture of confusion and excitement. She opened her mouth to say something—anything—but the words wouldn’t come. Her hands hung at her sides, unsure whether to push against his chest or hold herself back. She couldn’t tell if she wanted him to step closer or if she just wanted to run far away from the intensity that radiated from him. “Stop…” she murmured, but the word felt too weak, too powerless against the gravity pulling them together. “What do you want from me?” His lips curled into a small, almost predatory smile. “I want you to stop pretending you don’t feel it,” he said softly, his gaze never leaving hers. His closeness was suffocating, but in the most intoxicating way. The tension between them was palpable, like a storm ready to break. She could feel the heat of his body against hers, could hear the steady rhythm of his breathing as if they were the only two people in the world. She wanted to fight back, wanted to be strong and resist, but something in her—something deep inside—kept her rooted to the spot. He was her classmate, the guy everyone knew, the one with that effortless confidence that made all the girls swoon. And now here he was, making her feel things she wasn’t sure how to deal with. Her hands trembled, caught between pushing him away and giving in to the wild, dizzying pull she felt toward him. She was terrified, but there was also a spark of curiosity, of something she couldn’t quite control. “I’m not… ready for this,” she whispered, though her voice shook with uncertainty. “I don’t even know what you’re doing.” He didn’t answer right away, his gaze softening just enough to let her know that he was listening, that he wasn’t in a rush. He leaned in slightly, his breath brushing against her cheek. “I think you do,” he murmured. “You just don’t want to admit it yet.” Amidst the whirlwind of school friendships, and the pressure. Can anyone dare to be open to the possibility with someone who seems so unreachable?

"Are you serious?!" Nemesia exclaimed, spitting blood. The silver in her system wreaked havoc, turning her healing wounds into bleeding sores. She lifted her eyes to the man who had promised to stand by her side and love her. The man she believed was sent by the goddess herself. They were meant to be together forever. She had done everything for him throughout their reign, dirtying her hands to ensure he remained an unblemished king in the eyes of their subjects. She endured the disdain of his parents, and the current rulers, and maneuvered him into the position of heir apparent over his siblings. She suffered and toiled for him because they were destined wolves. So why... WHY was he now before her, holding some scrawny blonde waif he had found battered in the woods? What did it matter that she was poor and had suffered? What did it matter how she was treated? Why was she crying at his side while Nemesia, his future queen and partner, was drenched in her own blood from the silver whip's lashings? "Melody is such a delicate creature, how could you treat her so harshly? I don't need a queen who's a monster!" Marco, the future king, her mate, hissed in anger. Shocked, Nemesia burst into laughter. "You don't need me? You made me a monster! You wanted power, you got it... and now you want to discard me? You'll regret this!" She bared her fangs. Melody cowered in Marco's embrace as he shouted for the guards to load Nemesia onto a wagon and take her to the Tower. The Tower! That's where she had banished many of his enemies... and now he wanted to send her there? Not over her dead body! Goddess, do you see how your faithful child suffers? I will have my revenge... I promise you! ---------------------------- In a realm where loyalty and betrayal are as intertwined as the roots of an ancient forest, the tale of Nemesia, a future lycan queen caught in the throes of palace intrigue and forbidden love, unfolds.

Her descent into vengeance begins when Marco chooses Melody, a weak shifter girl with a troubled past, over her. Cast aside and condemned to the Tower, a place of despair for the kingdom's foes, Nemesia's story is not just about a fall from grace but a fight for power, identity, and retribution against those who wronged her. In a time when the line between hero and villain blurs, Nemesia's journey challenges the very fabric of their society, questioning the nature of love, loyalty, and the price of true power.
