THE DEVIL'S ADDICTION

**PROLOGUE** "They say the princess will be transferred to another island." "Well, her skills are useless in this field." "Right? I don't even know why she's still here." "You know how it is, as long as there's a connection." I just sighed at the noise I heard. Actually, I'm used to it; there's not a day when I'm not the topic. But today is surprisingly weird. This is the first time I've heard that I will be transferred? Why am I the last to know? I just shrugged and continued carrying some stuff for the lab. "Where have you been? Why are you just arriving now?" I looked at the person who spoke. It was one of the healers with me in the lab, the head leader Cole. "Oh, I went to get what we needed for the lab." I quickly replied, afraid to get him in a bad mood. "The prince has been calling for you." My face lit up at the news. The prince? It's been a while. "Show some respect, go there quickly." "O-Oh yes! Wait… is my appearance okay? Should I fix myself first? It's embarrassing—" "Just go! You rarely get called, and yet you're so slow." He snapped at me, clearly irritated. "And do you really need to pretty yourself up?" said his companion, who had been side-eyeing me earlier. Yeah, people here don't like me much, but as I said, I'm used to it. I didn't answer and left. "Tsk. The prince didn't even have a choice; she's so prissy." Ah, I heard that. Pretty myself up? I just want to look presentable in front of the prince, is that so wrong? I just bowed my head. I should just get the dust off my dress. Why did the prince call for me? The last time he called me was two months ago. Our interaction was so short. He just wanted a life update, but he doesn't talk much. I pretty much do all the talking. As I walked towards the main room of the palace, I noticed something different. There were a lot of new items that weren't there before. 'The saintess needs this! She commented that the main hall looked sad.' I stopped in my tracks. The saintess, huh? My eyes drooped, and I continued walking. The prince doesn't like such things. Even his sister can't force him to make the hall look lively, but the saintess can? Although Prince Kaden manages this place, Prince Hellion always takes the lead in handling things. “WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN BY THAT? TRANSFER?! AND TO THAT PLACE?!” I was about to open the door when I heard a familiar shout. “We don’t have a choice—” “Choice my ass! Just because of that woman, you're going to replace Lady Mora!? Have you got no shame?!” I opened the large door and saw Aurora there. She was clenching her teeth in anger. I also saw Princess Hellena, Prince Hellion, and a saintess I didn’t know. “Look, the skill Lady Mora has is really not suitable for us. She can heal, but it’s slow, and we need to fight quickly in order to win,” Princess Hellena insisted. “The lady has arrived,” announced the guard who seemed to have forgotten to open the door for me, so I just opened it myself. He was there, so why didn’t he open it? They all looked at me, well except for the prince. “My Lady!” Aurora shouted, rushing over and hugging me. “Stop me, I might hit them.” She cried. “Lady Mora, you’ve finally arrived,” Princess Hellena said softly. “Please don’t take our news the wrong way; we only want what’s best for the Hearthorn Empire.” I suddenly felt cold at what I heard. The rumors were true? “Our engagement…” I quickly looked at the person who spoke. Prince Hellion, my fiancé. “Lady Morana Viole Fleur.” It was the first time I heard my full name from his lips. “We will have to break our engagement.” Wh-what!? Wait—this isn’t the rumor I heard?! I thought I was just being transferred to another island?! Why does it have to be our engagement?! --

COALESCENCE OF THE FIVE SERIES BOOK ONE: THE 5-TIME REJECTED GAMMA & THE LYCAN KING BOOK TWO: THE ROGUES WHO WENT ROGUE BOOK THREE: THE INDOMITABLE HUNTRESS & THE HARDENED DUKE *** BOOK ONE: After being rejected by 5 mates, Gamma Lucianne pleaded with the Moon Goddess to spare her from any further mate-bonds. 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. He is pleading for a chance: a chance to get to know her; a chance to show her that he’s different; and a chance to love her. But when not-so-subtle crushes, jealous suitors, self-entitled Queen-wannabes, an old flame, a silent protector and a past wedding engagement threaten to jeopardize their relationship, will Lucianne and Xandar still choose to be together? Is their love strong enough to overcome everything and everyone? Or will Lucianne resort to enduring a sixth rejection from the one person she thought she could entrust her heart with?

"Is it considered betrayal to develop feelings for your best friend's boyfriend? What about when fate intervenes, and he turns out to be your destined mate? You might think it's luck and thank the moon goddess for such a twist of fate. That's what I believed until the love of my life uttered those dreaded words: 'I want a divorce!' As I stared at the pregnancy test in my hands, I realized it was better to keep my secret to myself. My name is Violet, and this is my story."

Once upon a time, there were two kingdoms once at peace. The kingdom of Salem and the kingdom of Mombana... Until the day, the king of Mombana passed away and a new monarch took over, Prince Cone. Prince Cone, has always been hungry for more power and more and more. After his coronation, he attacked Salem. The attack was so unexpected, Salem never prepared for it. They were caught off guard. The king and Queen was killed, the prince was taken into slavery. The people of Salem that survived the war was enslaved, their land taken from them. Their women were made sex slaves. They lost everything, including their land. Evil befall the land of Salem in form of Prince Cone, and the prince of Salem in his slavery was filled with so much rage. The prince of Salem, Prince Lucien swore revenge. 🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳🌳 Ten years later, thirty-years old Lucien and his people raided a coup and escaped slavery. They went into hiding and recuperated. They trained day and night under the leadership of the fearless and cold Lucien who was driven with everything in him to get back their land, and take Mombana land too. It took them five years before they ambushed and attacked Mombana. They killed Prince Cone and reclaimed everything. As they screamed out their victory, Lucien's eyes found and pinned the proud princess of Mombana. Princess Danika. The daughter of Prince Cone. As Lucien stared at her with the coldest eyes anyone can ever possess, he felt victory for the first time. He walked to the princess with the slave collar he'd won for ten years rattling in his hand as he walked. He reached close to her and with a swift movement, he collared her neck. Then, he tilted her chin up, staring into the bluest eyes and the most beautiful face ever created, he gave her a cold smile. "You are my acquisition. My slave. My sex slave. My property. I will pay you in spades, everything you and your father ever did to me and my people." He stated curtly. Pure hatred, coldness and victory was the only emotion on his face. .

Allison fell in love with Ethan Iversen, the soon-to-be Alpha of the Moonlight Crown pack. She always wanted him to notice her. Meanwhile, Ethan was an arrogant Alpha who thought a weak Omega could not be his companion.  Ethan's cousin, Ryan Iversen, who came back from abroad and was the actual heir of the pack, never tried to get the position nor did he show any interest in it. He was a popular playboy Alpha but when he came back to the pack, one thing captured his eyes and that was Allison.

"You're mine, little puppy," Kylan growled against my neck. A soft gasp escaped my lips as his lips brushed my skin. My mind screamed at me to push him away-the Lycan Prince who had humiliated me again and again, but my body betrayed me, leaning into him before I could stop myself. He pressed his lips against mine, and his kiss grew more aggressive, more possessive as I felt my legs weaken. What was I doing? In a split-second, I pulled away and slapped him hard across the face. Kylan's eyes darkened, but the smirk on his lips exposed his amusement. "You and I both know we can't fight this, Violet," he said, gripping my wrist. "You're my mate." "And yet you don't want me," I replied. "You told me you were ashamed of me, that l'd never be your queen, that you'd never love me. So please, accept my rejection and let me go." "Never," he whispered, his grip tightening as he pulled me closer. "Soon enough, you'll be begging for me. and when you do-I'll use you as I see fit and then I'll reject you."
