When Sarafina is faced with the burden of refilling her dad's medications due to his sickness, she is forced to take extreme measures. Broke and recently fired from her job as a stripper, she offers to take her friend's place as an escort for a night, she needed the money to keep her dad as healthy Sitting in room 204, nervously waiting for whoever it was to appear. What Sarafina didn't expect was for the supposed 'customer' to be Ryan A. Adrian , the famous son of the wealthiest business tycoon in the country. Another shock was to come her way when he merely dropped an empty cheque leaving, without asking for anything in return. Ryan A. Adrian, smitten over an escort began to search for her but to no avail. Desperate to find her, Ryan sends his best friend Tony to find out more. But then Tony's luck was to find a love interest when he comes across Amber, the friend sarafina had taken her place as an escort for the night. What happens when sarafina's ex lover is proving to be an obstacle? Will Ryan's love survive the various challenges to come their way? Will an escort be the right girl for the famous and wealthy Ryan A. Adrian?
Sarafina, that was her name, a red hair lady whose priority was her family. As an only child, the responsibilities of her sick dad weighed heavily on her.
She had roamed from one job to another hoping to secure a well paid one, she had no one else except for her father and her mother, that's is if she's alive.
Sarafina grew up without a mother and she was contented with that
"Dad, the doctor said if you continue taking your meds as prescribed, you will be on your feet in no time" Sarafina beamed at her dad, she dropped his breakfast on the table next to him, adjusting his wheelchair to a more comfortable state.
"Those pills are so large and they taste as awful" sarafina's dad groaned, he reached for the plate of fried plantains seasoned well enough randomly picking at the thick piece
"I know but with time it will be over, trust me dad" Sh encouraged patting his grey hairs out of his face, he had refused to get a haircut to sarafina's distaste
"Of course, there's only two pills left in the pack"
Sarafina paused, worry creasing her forehead. The pills were what the doctor said would keep her dad going, his hypertension had gotten the most part of him.
Once while walking down the stairs, sarafina's dad had collapsed due to stroke. This had led to the paralysis of his legs, it could progress further, sarafina had seen some whose hypertension had led to their full body paralysis, she feared without the pills her dad could become a victim
"Dad!" She called panic thick in her voice. "Why didn't you tell me earlier before now, I should refill it" sarafina rose from her kneeling position, she stirred the ginger tea and tasted
" Right to your taste, make sure you savour every drop. I should be on my way dad, take care and call me if anything going wrong, the phone is right by your left"
By the time Sarafina completed her speech she was out by the door already.
She had no destination in mind, the thought of her dad's pill exhausting and leading to a serious health problem plagued her. She couldn't stay still and watch that happen, just last week sarafina was fired from her job as a stripper, the pay from that day had been their only mode of surviving
It had rained yesterday, everywhere was wet and vehicles roamed through the mud filled road, children played in the puddle while their parents called out for them, the scene made sarafina smile, she had made her mind already, taking a sharp turn she dragged her feet briskly to the strip club she no longer worked at.
Sarafina adjusted her hoodie letting it drop over her face, her steps faltered and her breath hitched, taking in a deep breath to gather up courage, she resumed walking quickly.
Luck wasn't on her side, whatever or whoever she was trying to avoid Chased after her easily grabbing her arm to halt her
" Sean, let go. I'm in a hurry" sarafina attempted to snatch away, though successful but with a red painful mark, she muttered profanities under her breath. She continued walking ignoring Sean who trailed next her.
" Sarah, why don't you listen to me for once. You can't keep denying how much you love me" Sean declared. His feet thumped against the cold floor as he walked
"I don't want this anymore Sean, I don't love you, do let me go okay. We had a relationship, but it's over I no longer want to be with you. Do yourself a favor and stay off. Away" Sarafina heaved, refusing to meet his gaze, she could hear the pause in his movement
"I hope you know what you're getting yourself into" She heard him say, the subtle threat in his words didn't go unnoticed, Sean always had difficulty taking no for answer, at first she admired that habit in him mistaking it for determination, he soon proved her wrong and pulling away was becoming a hard thing.
Pushing Sean and his obsessive behavior to the back of her mind, Sarafina arrived at the club sneaking her way into the backstage, she was sure to find who she came for there. The convenient room was filled with ladies changing their attire, each one recognized her as they threw familiar pleasantries
"Sarah, over here"
Sarafina grinned at her friend Amber, they had both met at the club and clicked right away. Amber was a tall lady whose mischief never failed to amuse people around her, she took the stripping job as her own rebellious stage in life as she would often be heard saying. Most times Amber spent her time as an escort.
" Hey, I need to talk to you" sarafina didn't bother to beat around the bush, the worry in her wouldn't allow her to, Amber looked around taking in her friends pale face, she would immediately sense something was wrong
Amber grabbed Sarafina's hand leading her to a secluded room where the voices of the changing women could be distantly heard.
" Talk to me" Amber demanded looking her friend dead in the eyes.
"I need help Amber, I don't want you to say no pls" Sarafina pleaded taking Amber's palm and intertwining it with hers,
" Tell me Sarah, I will gladly help"
"I wanna be an escort..." Sarafina announced, clasping their hands tightly, Amber's brows furrowed, she had never in her life expected Sarafina of all people to approach her with that
" What are you talking about. You have always felt repulsed of such act"
"I know-w Amber," her voice shook noticable, she was trying hard to hold in her emotions
"Dad's pill are almost exhausted, I have being fired from my job. I don't know where to get all this money from. Look, I know I should have looked elsewhere but I swear I have nowhere else, no one will offer me money within two days, Amber I need this" Sarafina was getting desperate by the second, her voice rose significantly
Amber silently admired her, no one could have predicted Sarafina's troubles, she always looked calm from the outside and made drastic decisions with no hint of worry.
"Calm down Sarah, I'm willing to help you in every way possible, all I want to know is are you sure you want to do this"
" Yes" the answer came with no hesitation
Amber nodded " I will help you"
"Don't worry.. if you're sure you wanna do this then I have no qualms but I really wish I had another way to help apart from this" Amber's voice was sullen heavily sharing her friend's emotion, she squeezed Sarafina's hand that was still in her grip reassuringly
"I was called just yesterday, I will have you take my place okay? Also, it's tomorrow so you have the whole of today to decide if you still want to. Make sure you're ready for this okay" Amber said her tone very motherly.
Sarafina nodded, she was certain she she wasn't going to change her mind.
'Come tommorow, dad you will be fine, I will make sure of that' she thought

To her dismay, she is being bonded for the sixth time. What’s worse is that her sixth-chance mate is the most powerful creature ruling over all werewolves and Lycans - the Lycan King himself. She is certain, dead certain, that a rejection would come sooner or later, though she hopes for it to be sooner. King Alexandar was ecstatic to meet his bonded mate, and couldn’t thank their Goddess enough for gifting him someone so perfect. However, he soon realizes that this gift is reluctant to accept him, and more than willing to sever their bond. He tries to connect with her but she seems so far away. He is desperate to get intimate with her but she seems reluctant to open up to him. He tries to tell her that he is willing to commit to her for the rest of his life but she doesn’t seem to believe him.

Will Selene return back to the pack which had caused her so much pain, and what would she do when she realizes that she is mated to the Alpha who had betrayed her in the past?
