Annabel does not care when it comes to her unprintable desires for older men. She is wild and always hot and the older the better. She refused to heed the counsel of her friend Lily and her guardian, Sister Pamela to fall in love and settle down. Her whole life was geared towards satisfying her unquenchable lust. It all started after she lost her family in an accident and was taken to the orphanage by the kind Sister Pamela who found her at the scene of the accident. Little Annabel spent the rest of her life waiting for the only family she knows, Rich as she believed that Rich would come to take her with him someday. So, on every eve of every Christmas which was the day the accident happens, she goes to stand by the window waiting to see him come for her. But then, Rich never came. Annabel left the orphanage at Beetville and came to Everestland land in search of Rich, but discovered that he was now the most successful CEO. She believed that he had long forgotten her and she vowed to revenge and make him pay for converting her father's wealth to his. Annabel's burning flare for older men could not be satisfied and when she unknowingly met Rich who gave his name as Jay, she made him drunk and had her way with him. In the morning she was gone leaving some cash at the hotel room for him. Rich later found her and fell in love with her without knowing who she really was. And when he discovered her true identity, he had to decide what he truly wants. Is it the bad girl that she has grown to become, or the little innocent girl that he had dedicated his whole life in search of?
THE CHILD'S POV
I was only six when it happened. On that fateful night, I lost my family. Yes, I watched my dad fight for his life. He tried to hold on, he wanted so much to live for me. But no, I was there when they took their last breath and I was unable to do absolutely nothing to save them.
Everyone says that I should be happy, they all tell me to be grateful to him and praise him for saving my life, but what is life without a family?
It was the noon of Christmas' eve and Jackson Rich had invited us to come and celebrate Christmas with him and his girlfriend, Arianna.
Mum said that he planned on proposing to her on Christmas and they would both be getting married on Valentine's Day. Mum also informed me that he had requested that I be his little bride, while my brother, Junior, would be the little groom. I was overjoyed by the news and I started counting down from that day.
However, when I had asked mum when Rich would be taking another wife after Arianna, but mum had hushed me and clearly told me that he is entitled to one wife, just like my dad. This realization made me sad because I had always thought that I was going to marry Rich someday when I grow up.
Don't get me wrong, I was only a little child and Rich appeared to be like the only perfect thing next to daddy. He was smart and even below the age of 25, he was already dad's business partner and dad said that his rare business ideas make them a lot of profit.
He was dad's very good friend and there was an age gap of over ten years between them. Notwithstanding this fact, dad made him a co-signatory to his business due to his utmost dedication and sincerity. Dad also named the business after me and him, AnnaJay Empire. Maybe it was this name that sent those crazy ideas to me.
I was young but knew so much about dad's business more than my mum and my elder brother, Junior who was more interested in science courses.
"Come on dad, can't we wait until tomorrow? The proposal will be tomorrow right, and we can get there right in time for that?" I protested.
"We are not just going there for the proposal. Rich wants to spend more time with us as family" dad responded.
"But dad, Rich is not family. Now I wish we have a grandma or an uncle or aunt to visit" I lamented.
"Your dad referred to Rich as family, because he had proven himself to be more than a friend" mum replied.
"Yes darling, Rich will always be there for us in any situation. You should never forget that" dad added.
"Okay, dad" I murmured.
"Let me get my wristwatch, I think I left it at the garage when I was fixing the car" dad excused himself.
For some reason, I don't want to go out tonight. I was having a very unusual feeling. I don't know if it was because I don't want to be there when Rich would finally put the ring on Arianna's finger or if there was something else attached to this. I turned to Junior just to confide in him and get his support.
"Junior, I feel a bit tense about this trip this evening, don't you feel the same too? We should remain here and go to Rich's tomorrow" I said.
"I don't feel the same, Anna. I think you just can't bear to see Rich get hooked by another" he replied and giggled.
"Stop that, Junior. I have always warned you against making fun of your little sister" mum corrected him. "See, dad is here now, let's leave"
...............................................
We were in the car and I was playing with my toy when I heard dad exclaim. His exclamation was followed by a scream from mum and then Junior joined them. I could not understand what was going on or why they were panicking. However, I noticed that it seem as if dad was not in control of the wheel and the car was swinging from one part of the road to the other. It was getting off the road.
Junior stretched his hand on the car handle on my side and opened the door. And without saying anything to me, he pushed me out of the car.
I landed on my right shoulder. It was a great fall and I screamed from the effect of the pain I felt.
As soon as I landed on the road, I heard a very loud bang and I looked up. It was our car, it has collided with a very big tree and it was not moving anymore. But then, I could not hear the voice of anyone again. They are all quiet now.
Now that the car had stopped, I can go and meet them. I looked around and discovered that I was alone on the express road. There was no sign of a car or a human approaching.
I decided to get up and run to my family. In the process of doing this, I applied so much force and it caused me pain and I screamed. I had dislocated my right foot in the fall and I fell back on the road. Even the pain from my right shoulder was immeasurable. I took my hands to it and saw that I was covered in blood.
I attempted to get up again, but this time I was more careful and when I did, I leaped to the car on one foot. It was as if the walking was taking forever for me to get there, but I was determined to go meet them.
When I got to the car, I peeped at the back door, the door where Junior had thrown me out from and I saw him lying with his eyes closed. His legs are on the seat but his head was daggling downwards. He was not moving and blood was dripping from his head.
"Wake up junior, I am here now nothing happened to me and I am not mad at you" I called.
I shook him vigorously but there was no response from him and so I decided to go report to my parents.
"Mum, you warned Junior just this afternoon, didn't you? See he is playing dead with me after pushing me out of the car. Now tell him that I am not ready for his game" I called out to my mum.
I tried to open her door but it refused. But from the window, I could see her staring at me with eyes wide open. I wondered why she was looking at me without saying anything, and why some parts of her face appeared to be painted in red.
With a feeling of disappointment, I leaped over to my dad's side and opened the door.
"Dad" I called as I noticed that he was trying to make out some words.
I was oblivious of what had just happened. I did not realize that I have lost them and would not see them again. I never knew that I was left all alone to face the world.
"What happened here, little girl?" I heard a voice ask.
I turned to see who it was, and I discovered that it was a lady dressed in white.
"My family" I murmured.
The stranger appeared nice. And she held my hands trying to lead me away from my dad but I was reluctant to step even an inch away.
HOW MUCH CAN YOU PAY FOR A SINGLE NIGHT... The only offense Emily Lee seemed to have committed was being a human among werewolves. Emily was born to a human mother, Benita, and a werewolf father, Oscar Lee. And the fact that just like her mother, Emily has no wolf did not sit well with her werewolf father, Oscar Lee, who used every opportunity to express his displeasure. Emily's stepmother, Elise Lee, and her daughter were not left out in this hate. They taunted Emily and tried everything possible to get her out of the family. As a result of this ominous hatred, Emily made it her life's goal to earn the love of her family, especially her shady half-sister, Samantha Lee, who could not come to terms that Emily was more beautiful than her. After having a one-night stand with the powerful CEO, Don Nick, Emily Lee quickly realizes that she is losing her most cherished relationship with her boyfriend, Tyler. Samantha Lee's deftly planned stunt was used to make Emily deteriorate and come crumble on her feet. And even so, she vowed to make that icky night Emily's doom. All Emily wished for was to live a normal life and share a bond with her sister. Not for once did she imagine that the cost would be disastrous. Emily Lee was blackmailed into giving in to Samantha's cunning demands, and she paid a heavy price, which included losing her beauty and leading a deplorable life as a luna, to the renowned and strong Alpha Xavier. AGAINST HER WILL SHE BECAME A LUNA, BUT FOR LOVE SHE WAS MADE A MONSTER Emily's life as the luna of Twin Sparks Island Pack was nothing like the popular fairy tales would have you believe. It was never to be desired. Because Samantha Lee was the Lady of the Pack and Emily's young princess, Mila Xavier, lived in ruins and never learned what it meant to be born into royalty, despite the fact that Emily retained the title of Lady Luna. Emily Lee is currently a luna without the love of her alpha and a monster confined to a dungeon. In spite of this, Samantha hunted for the last drop of her blood, and wouldn't give up until she breathes her last. In Emily lies the answer Alpha Xavier sought, and she alone can bring Lycan Ryder, the vicious Dragon Lycan King, to his feet. However, Emily is held back by fear and will not use her might to her advantage. What was worse was that she was ignorant of the power she possessed. In all of this, only one thing kept Emily going. And that was the hope that she would one day give her daughter, Mila Xavier, her most cherished desire, the love of her father. Will Emily finally find her happily ever after despite her fear, or will that terrible night with the CEO, Don Nick, spell her death?

All she wanted was freedom, a chance to take control of her life for the first time. But the moment she returned to the ranch with her new husband, the real battle began.

His past was a puzzle, one that Alora couldn't quite piece together. But as they fought against betrayal and deception, an unexpected bond formed between them-one that neither had anticipated. However, secrets have a way of unraveling, and Molitta was the first to glimpse Hanson's true identity. And once she did, she would stop at nothing to claim him for herself. Now, Alora faces a battle she never saw coming. She must fight, not just for her marriage and the man she's grown to love, but for the future of the child growing within her.

"Be careful of the good you see, it might be an evil yet to be formed" Just how careful can alpha Andrew be in the quest to save his princess from the impending battle coming for her? To kill the cat was all he was required to do but he failed even at that. Consumed by love for his princess, alpha Andrew did all he could to alter her fate. He concealed her true name, built a wall to secure his pack, secretly destroyed her most prized possession, and kept every truth hidden. Princess Andrea's life is far from fun. Having had her wolf since the age of two, she struggled to be accepted by her peers who only saw her as a monster. Even in love, she was despised by her crush, her lover was mated to her best friend, and turning eighteen, her mate refused to reveal himself. The sweet princess accepted things as there are until she met Luciana, the sorcerer who revealed to her enough to cause some stir. Feeling betrayed by her father's actions, the princess left the palace and made her way into the woods and into all alpha Andrew has done the unthinkable trying to change. Will the battle be won, or would not killing the cat spell her doom?
"Don’t worry, we would soon hand you over to a mate just as misery as you are. But we are even finding it difficult to get such a person. You are just so disgusting” These were the exact words Sam told his little sister, Scarlet. What happens when a feeble female werewolf is tortured, maltreated, satirized, and despised by the same people she calls family? What happens when her alpha lover turns his back on her at the point when she needed him the most, and enacted a decree restraining her from ever appearing before him? What happens when she is forced into a marriage with a ruthless alpha? What happens when in her new forced home the mistress of her husband swore to take her life? Having had enough, Scarlet went into a self-imposed exile, and there she met an old lady who handed over to her a seemingly supposedly worthless stone amulet which turns out to be a gift from the moon goddess. Life was filled with uncertainty for Scarlet, and it was a voyage of discoveries for her. A life puzzle, which could only be unraveled by patience, love, wisdom, and above all, the dictates of fate. Living through this puzzle, she had to fight against her blood (family), conquer the Titans, force the rogues to bend to her will, rule over the Pixies, and finally subdue alphas, kings, lords, and nations. Now, the once feeble werewolf is bent on ensuring that she does not get bitten a second time, and thus, she must rule with jealousy and guard against future betrayers to ensure maximum loyalty. And to achieve the almost impossible, she has to do an act never conceived in the heart of men. Follow Scarlet to find out just what the moon goddess has in stock for her, and how she navigates through life's thorns to get to the petals. With a hope for victory, we must fight to win.
Wright was inside of the gym exercising when his phone began to ring. “Gosh, it is already past 9 am,” He said as he looked at the wall clock. “And who could this caller be” Acting very reluctantly, he went for his phone. “Philip” he murmured as he saw the caller. “Hey man,” Wright said as he picked the call. He wondered why Philip would be calling him this early. Philip is not one to call often unless he really has important news and Wright prayed that whatever this call was for, it should better not be what he was thinking, it should not be in any way related to the Pack. Anyways, he maintained his cool and waited patiently for Philip to tell him the reason for the call himself. “Wright” Philip responded. From the tone of Philip’s voice, Wright could tell that he was a bit tensed and was only trying to hide it. Philip and Wright had grown up in Shadow Rank Pack as best of friends. In fact, if the tussle with the rogues had not happened, Philip would have been Wright’s beta. Wright’s dad, Alpha Lucas is the alpha of Shadow Rank Pack and Wright is his successor before he left everything behind during the war with the rebels and moved to Edmonton where he had met Evolette and had further denounced his werewolf lineage. As a good friend, Philip had left the pack with him amidst the conflict but had soon left Edmonton for Regina for greener pasture. It was by the twist of fate that Philip had met Kyra in Regina while he had met Evolette here in Edmonton and both close friends had married the same sisters. When Evolette discovered Wright's true nature, she was not receptive to same and so, just so as to please her, he had all these years live outside that part of him until the midnight of her burial when he had shifted and had run into the wild to let out his grief for his self-acclaimed lost mate. Kyra on her part had been a little indifferent and receptive about the whole werewolf thing and was even ready to move back to Shadow Rank Pack with Philip just that Philip was unwilling to go back because of his love and solidarity for his friend and Alpha as he had always addressed Wright whenever they were alone.“ My Alpha, are you there?” Philip inquired when Wright had not responded to him.“ Gosh, this better be good” Wright spat. Now he was sure that Philip's call was definitely related to the Pack as he had feared. When Wright left Shadow Rank Pack, the rebels did not leave him as they were still out to get him. It was with the help of the allies that Wright built in Edmonton that he had been able to operate discreetly without getting the attention of his foes. All these years, Philip had been Wright's number one ally and had been on the lookout for possible threats to his friend, Wright, and had always alerted him whenever there was danger. Wright had been able to live a quiet life until just before the death of Evolette. He tries to act normal to Riona, but within him, he constantly fears for her safety. “Speak Philip, I am listening” Wright muttered. “Okay Wright, where is Rio?” Philip asked. “She is not in” Wright replied. “What!” Philip exclaimed. “Come on Philip. Or do you want me to pee on my pants?” Wright was already getting irritated and all he just wanted was for Philip to spill the bean. “Sorry, man,” Philip said. “Gosh” Wright spat. “I am so sorry, I am sorry” Philip was tense. “I don’t even know what I am thinking” “Relax Philip, what is the problem?” Wright asked. “I just got the news that some rogues from Shadow Rank are out, they are there in Edmonton since yesternight” Philip announced. “What!” Wright screamed. “And how come you are just telling me of this now?” “I just got the news right away and I quickly called you. The first thing that came to my mind was Rio” Philip explained. “Rio” Wright stuttered. “Rio left this morning. I think she said she was going to get Sandra to come spend the weekend with us” “Shit” Philip cursed. “O my God, o my God. What the hell?” Wright cursed. “Please be cool,” Philip said. “I am cool, man. What is the situation with the rogues at the moment, do you by chance know that?” Wright was curious. Wright is so anxious and filled with anger right now and he cannot imagine any harm coming to his little girl. He promised himself that he would spare no life in Shadow Rank if there is as little as a mosquito bite on Riona. “From my information, they don't have her yet, and happily they don’t know what she looks like just yet,” Philip said. Wright interrupted him. “Wait, what do you mean they don't know what she looks like just yet, do you plan on revealing that to them?”
