Two extraordinary love stories in a series. When Sadie Greer gets into an arranged marriage with a Crypto developer, an evil wrapped in a pretty thousand-dollar suit Cenric Wollf, she thinks her life is over. She only agrees to escape the family trap with a hefty price tag. With an ulterior motive, Cenric Wollf marries the daughter of his enemy-she's just his subject, his pawn, and to warm his bed. They fall deeper into their own trap-crazy chemistry and thrills, afraid they're losing control over until the sham marriage turns into something more real. Adley Kross does something beyond imaginable-proposing marriage to the man she despises for her inheritance. It doesn't take long enough for her to realize she's marrying the right man for the wrong reason. Her heart starts to beat on its own. Mykel Creed's only priority is making himself filthy rich with a little bit of fun along the way. When someone he owed comes to collect it, he has to pay it back with something that compromises his beliefs in relationships. It doesn't take a lot of convincing-he's already saying yes, even if it comes with stupid terms.
Business Deal
CENRIC
I hate promises.?I always would.?
When I made a promise to protect someone, I failed her. That changed my perspective-maybe it meant to be broken. Right now, it contradicted everything that I believed. I had to fulfill that promise. Even for someone like me, I couldn't escape from it.
It happened even before I became who I was, and I should have forgotten about it, but looking back at the dying woman in my arms I failed to protect, I just couldn't let it go. I had to make it possible, even if it meant signing off my life away from freedom.
I rifled through the folder on my desk. I wanted to get my mind off the wedding-my wedding in two days. And here I was, working my ass off even if I should be relaxing before the fucking end of my bachelor life.
But there was something about her that I couldn't shake off.?
I had not met her. I had decided not to. The marriage was a fucking business deal, and her family was even enthusiastic about that-the fact that I literally bought her, and she knew that-it sickened me.?
My brother, Cas, met her on my behalf. I always found excuses every time there were gatherings, even our engagement. I wouldn't call it a party because we were not in love.?
It was a business deal- mutual understanding between her father and me.
The blue folder caught my eye again, even if I tried to ignore it for the whole month.?
Fuck.?
I grabbed and flipped it open. I squeezed my eyes shut before I stared at the first page. Her picture caught me off guard. She looked young in this photograph, but I knew she was already twenty-one. In fact, she finished college this year.
"Like her already?" I almost fell off my chair. My cheeks burned as if someone had just caught my hand in a cookie jar.
I closed the folder and turned to face my brother. "What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to fit your stupid tux or something?"
He walked in towards my desk and grabbed the folder of the background check report I asked for from my PI. I was curious about my future wife, and at the same, I wanted to know a bit about her life. To be honest, I wanted to know her past relationships before our wedding.
Her family, on the other hand, I hated her father, and so as her brother. Who was sane father did that to his own blood??
Hanslo was a son of bitch who chose to save his business over his daughter.
Her brother, Jasper, was another fucking son of the bitch. I hated him even more-he had my future wife on his leash. It had to end, or I would finish it myself.?
"Cenric?" He snapped his fingers on my face. "Your teeth would crack if you wouldn't calm down. And you're about to create holes into that wall."?
"Sorry. Why are you here again?" I straightened up on my chair.
"I haven't told you, but I came here to check up on you and make sure you're not getting cold feet and planning to be a runaway groom."
I rolled my eyes. I looked down at the stacks of folders, and I wanted to throw them in the trash. I tried to focus on some things, particularly not reading the file of my bride. Shit. It sounded awful.
I saw her once, but that was years ago. I still wanted her to be ugly, fat, with braces and pimples, but if the picture in that folder is up to date, then she was undeniably gorgeous.?
She had a small round face. Her big crystal blue eyes staring back at me held a multitude of secrets. Her nose was straight and perfect. Those lips should be a sin. Her dark blonde hair just made her more beautiful.?
She was my downfall. I could feel it.
"I know everyone is gonna be nervous when getting married. It's normal. You wouldn't be human if you wouldn't feel like there's a knot in your stomach."
He was right, I had never been this nervous in forever, but knowing that my life would change drastically in a matter of two days, I couldn't shake this feeling off, so strange I wanted to throw up.
"Spare the advice, bro. You're not the one whose life is gonna be tied to a woman you don't know."?
"She's gonna be a good wife. Trust me. If you just took my advice to meet and know her, you wouldn't feel this way."
I glared at him. "I want to take care of her, not fall in love."
"So you admit that she's attractive?"
"Fuck you. I can't go through do that. Knowing her father and Jasper are power-hungry, I feel like I'm gonna fail her again. I won't let it happen."
"Then you made the right decision."
"I hope so. I hope she's not a pain in the ass."
"Can't be just you, brother. It should be one way or another."
"Fuck you. Get out before I run away and never show up on my wedding fucking day."
"It's fine by me. I will be marrying your fiancee."?
An utmost overpowering outrage gripped me. The words marrying and fiancee in one sentence made me see red. An unfamiliar possessiveness shocked me that even my own brother I wanted to wring his neck.?
He shook his head before his lips spread into a wide grin. His eyes glimmered with laughter. His lips twitched in amusement before he lifted his hands in a surrendering gesture.
"Get the fuck out. I have a lot of things I need to settle before I go on my merry wedding way."
"See you, brother." He saluted before he burst out of my office door.
Once Cas was gone, I shifted in my seat uncomfortably. I started to realize that there was no going back. Everything was set and ready for the big day, only me that I couldn't think of even getting a girlfriend, let alone getting married to the woman I knew nothing about aside from her being Greer.
I stared at her picture again, hoping it would magically turn her into an ugly duckling. But the more I stared at it, the more she turned into a fucking swan.?This is not happening.?Something about her that made me want to own her, mark her, take her right here, right now.?Jesus.
I was accustomed to letting my lust lead me when it came to sex. I got what I wanted, and I gave what I could. But by just looking at her image, I wished I was wrong. These unfamiliar feelings of raw lust, rage, and possessiveness started to be out of my control. And the worse part was, I had not even met her yet.
I almost jumped in my seat when my phone vibrated on my desk. An unknown number blinked on the screen.
"Wollf."
"Help me!" It was a voice of a terrified woman. My heart stopped dead in my chest.?
I froze for a moment.?Why do I feel like I know her?
"Who's this?"?
"Cenric-" The line went dead.
I stared at the screen in shock. "What the fuck?" She knew me and called my name, yet her voice was unfamiliar.
I dialed the number. I was the kind of man who never answered or called back, but I got the feeling it sounded like her life was hanging in the balance, and my instinct told me to protect her. Whoever she was.
Then it answered quickly from the other line.
"Who's this?"
"Cenric?" It was Jasper fucking Greer, my future brother-ass-in-law.
I shot him a bloody murderous glare even if he was not in front of me. "Where is she?"
"She's fine."
"Then why did she call? She sounded terrified, and the line went off after."
The other line went silent for a few seconds as if he was trading his words carefully. "She tried to escape."
"Is she held against her will?"
"She wants to run away. You know that she didn't want to get married from the start of the arrangement." Of course, who would willingly want to marry someone like me? I may be filthy rich, but not all women could be bought by fucking shiny and glittery diamonds.?
"Don't ever hurt her or lay a hand on her. If I ever see a small cut or bruise on her skin on my wedding day, call everything quits, even our fucking contract. Do you understand me?"
"Of course."
"And make sure in two days, I have a bride to marry, unscathed."
"I had a husband before I had a boyfriend!" Autumn blurted out, while the other two girls stared at her, wondering what she was talking about. "Did a random guy propose to you?" Ella asked her with raised eyebrows. "The man I met the last time we had a night out, uh? We had a good night and all that, and when we woke up the next morning, guess what I saw?" She didn't wait for them to guess before she said it herself. "A signed marriage certificate between both of us!" She exclaimed. You must be joking!" Ella exclaimed in shock. How in the world did that even happen?!

I heard him roar like the beast that he truly is. His skin was turning into fur, his canes expanded, and his claws extended on both his hands and legs. His eyes turn pitch black. After some time, everything calmed down and I felt a soft breath on my face. By smelling the scent I know it's him in his human form. "You are my desire and my only hope to shed away this guilty birth of a werewolf." He grunted pushing me to the wall and holding my cheek tight between his fingers. Bending his head he traced a line with his tongue from the back of my ear to my jaw line and bit me on my neck. "I marked you as mine. Now no one is going to touch you." He made a deathly roar. I look at him in trepid and he whispers softly in my ears after kissing my cheek. "MY HEART CRAVES FOR YOU. MARRY ME, ALEXA SULLIVAN.

Corinne devoted three years of her life to her boyfriend, only for it to all go to waste. He saw her as nothing more than a country bumpkin and left her at the altar to be with his true love. After getting jilted, Corinne reclaimed her identity as the granddaughter of the town’s richest man, inherited a billion-dollar fortune, and ultimately rose to the top. But her success attracted the envy of others, and people constantly tried to bring her down. As she dealt with these troublemakers one by one, Mr. Hopkins, notorious for his ruthlessness, stood by and cheered her on. “Way to go, honey!”
For as long as Emily can remember, she has wanted to overcome her shyness and explore her sexuality. Still, everything changes when she receives an invitation to visit one of the town's most prestigious BDSM clubs, DESIRE'S DEN. On the day she chose to peruse the club, she noticed three men, all dressed in suits, standing on the upper level, near the railing. Despite her limited vision, she persisted in fixating on them. Their towering statues belied the toned bodies concealed by their sharply tailored suits-or so she could tell. The hair of two of them was short and dark, and the third had light brown-possibly blond-hair that reached the shoulders. The dark, crimson background incised their figures, exuding an air of mystery and strength. They stood in stark contrast to the unfiltered, primal energy that pulsed through the club. Shocked by the desires these men aroused in her, she was disappointed to learn that they were masters seeking a slave to divide and conquer. She couldn't afford the fee, and she also realized that they were outside her league. Emily hurriedly left the club, feeling disappointed and depressed, unaware that she had also caught the group's attention. A world of wicked pleasure, three handsome men. Over the years, they have lived a life of decadence, their lavish lair serving as a stage for their most sinister desires. But despite the unending parade of willing subjects, one woman sticks out. A mysterious stranger with white porcelain skin and a killer body, a slave, a name with no address, the first lady to attract their eye and they will go to any length to obtain her no matter the consequences.

"Ahh!" She was in a moaning mess. She did not want to feel anything for this man. She hated him. His hands began to move all over her body. She gasped when he pulled down the back chain of her dress. The chain stopped at her lower waist, so when he zipped it off, her upper back and waist were exposed. "D-Don't touch m-ummm!" His fingers rolled around her bare back, and she pressed her head against the pillow. His touches were giving her goosebumps all over her body. With a deep angry voice, he whispered in her ear, "I am going to make you forget his touches, kisses, and everything. Every time you touch another man, you will only think of me." - - - Ava Adler was a nerdy omega. People bullied her because they thought she was ugly and unattractive.
