Novels by Shen Shu

Manu couldn't believe he'd found his mate that same night. It was Kiera. But it bothered him that besides the strawberry scent he undoubtedly liked the first time he caught a whiff of it, that was just that. He did feel the mate bond as Cole was obviously over the moon they found their mate. Kiera's wolf, Fia and Cole, connected well. But Manu didn't feel as much connection with Kiera. Wasn't it supposed to be the same way since he and Cole were typically one? "Can you believe it?" Kiera was still ecstatic. "I've been far away from home for a long time thinking that I could find my mate somewhere else. But here you are all along… I missed so much time with you!" Selina was right. Kiera had blossomed into a very beautiful and fine woman. His last memory of her was when she was just ten years old and he was twelve. Her family migrated overseas and they lost touch since. It was the first in nearly two decades that they saw each other again. Kiera was no longer the thin, pal

"I'm home!" Sasha announced as soon as she got inside an old wrecked school bus by the foot of the forest. "You're back!" Five pairs of eyes stared back at her with anticipation. A couple of which were forced out of slumber. "I'm sorry I'm late. My boss required me to do overtime! It was a good thing that I still found an open bakery when I left work," she said, convinced she was a good liar as she put the bag of almost expired bread on the improvised table. But the kids, ages four to ten, burst her bubbles. "Where did you steal these from, Sasha?" "How much did you earn from getting people's wallets?" "Weren't you caught?" Three of her five siblings, not her blood siblings, asked one after the other. "Who told you I stole these?" she denied, of course, she didn't steal the bread but the money she used to buy them. Sasha recalled what she had to go through to be able to come home with something to feed the five children waiting for her. She waited the whole day patient

"Marry?!" The word came out like a surprise from Manu's mouth. It was as if he never heard of it before that the sound of it rolling off his tongue was like an alien from a planet yet to be discovered. He coupled that with a widening of his eyes upon hearing his mother's ridiculous request. But of course, he wouldn't dare say out loud that it's the most preposterous thing he had ever heard his whole life. The old woman's birthday was in the next two weeks and she was asking him to be married by then. Like where the heck in the world would he drag a bride from? "Magnus, you are twenty-eight. Haven't you found your mate yet?" Selina's tone was hopeful that he somehow already did. After all, didn't wolves usually find their mate when they turn eighteen or twenty-one? Manu was way past that age. Manu stood up and walked towards the glass wall of his office. From there, he could see the dazzling city being illuminated by the moonlight above and by the city night lights below. The

She groggily wakes up to the sound of the alarm. She felt so tired and sleepy yet she had to get up else the young master would scold her for being late again.Jacyn hastily got up and readied herself. She had no time to waste as it was already late. Silence enveloped her as she went out of her room. She silently went to the kitchen and heated whatever leftover food from last night as she waited for Liam. But thirty minutes gone and he was still out of sight. As she was beginning to feel something was amiss, she knocked on his room only to find out that the young master had already left."Why did he leave me? Why did he not wake me up?" Jacyn complained to herself. Sometimes, she couldn't understand him. She couldn't decipher his thoughts. "Ahhh…did I make him angry again?" Suddenly, she felt nervous. What if the young master was angry at her? He may make her life more miserable.She ran and got her things. She could just drive alone at the company. She saw her car keys in her bag but

The past few weeks were like a roller coaster ride for Jacyn. From her ex-boyfriend's betrayal to her failed revenge plan, she felt everything's going against her. She felt her world was crushed down and then, when she decided to fight, everyone unites and brings her down to the core. Nothing's going according to her plan.During those times of chaos and turmoil, except for her grandparents, Liam was the only constant in her life. Since he was introduced as her fiance, he was really acting like one. Like he had known her all his life and as if it was not arranged. The first time they met, he made it look like they weren't strangers. He even told her that she had forgotten him. Since that day, he had not told her why he had said that. She was also afraid to know so she never asked him. They avoid the topic like a plague. But she could feel that Liam treats her differently from the others. He was a cold, distant CEO to other people. They were scared and just admired him from afar. But

"Achoo…" Jacyn sneezed as she shivered. Did someone think badly about her?"Hey, are you okay?" Liam asked her worriedly as he checked on her temperature."I'm okay. I just feel cold all of a sudden." She smiled at him. They're on their way to the office. Though they went to the office together almost everyday, no one suspects anything about them. They believed it was just a pure employer-employee relationship. "Drink some meds later." His brows knitted. "Uhmm, okay boss." She rolled her eyes at him as she agreed or else he won't stop on nagging her. As days passed by, she felt comfortable with him like she already knew him for so long. Even she couldn't believe it, she knew how long she could warm up to people, but to Liam. It took him barely a month for her to feel like they were the best of friends. "Young master?""Uhmm, yeah?" He answered gently without looking at her."Why are you so good to me?" She asked while she looked at his side face. He was so handsome even on the side

"Big Brother Yan! Don't forget me when you get there." The young Jacyn told her with teary eyes. She was in pigtails and a princess gown. She was the princess of the Lou family. She was seven years old when he last saw her. He was thirteen. Liam was twelve. Their grandfathers were best friends since they were young, so they grew up together. They became best friends. He remembered they used to play together. Jacyn was a bubbly, little girl who played with them all day. Since she grew up with them, the game was all for boys and she blended with them easily. She was not a typical crybaby. She was an independent and strong little girl. Their time together was shortened when his family decided to migrate to the States. He didn't want to leave her there but he had no choice. "I'll take care of her, Xueqin." Liam patted his back as re-assurance. He just nodded at him and gave him a brotherly hug.That was the last time he saw Jacyn. Four years passed and he received a news from his gra

"I'm just kidding you." Master Yan laughed out loud looking at the two of them. "I know you're really meant for each other." He said with a meaningful gaze. He remembered how broken everyone was when the news about the Lou family being murdered. Only few and closest friends knew about Jacyn being alive. No one questioned the Old Lou why they hid Jacyn for a long time. And now, he could see that the old man had done a good job hiding her. "I've known the situation of the Lou Group. Don't hesitate to ask for help from me, young lady. I will try to give assistance whenever possible." He added seriously."Thank you, Grandfather." Jacyn bowed as a sign of respect to him.He laughed, "The old Lou was abroad? Now that I have already come back, he's not around. How about the Lee patriarch?" "My grandparents were both in the province. They love the climate there, especially the morning breeze as they walk on the beach." Liam answered. " You should visit them one of these days. I think you'll

"Miss Lou, what happened yesterday? Where did you guys go?" The secretaries surrounded Jacyn once they saw the CEO enter his office. They were already on 'gossip' mode."Have you seen them lovey dovey with each other?" They were thrilled to know if their goddess and the CEO were really in a relationship.Jacyn looked at Mr. Ng who just got out of the CEO's office. They didn't know that he was there already. He stifled his laughter as he heard them bombard her by their stupid questions. He didn't move and shrugged his shoulders playfully.Jacyn secretly rolled her eyes at Mr. Ng, she really didn't know how to handle these bunch of ladies who look ready to fight to get gossip about the great Liam Lee."Well, the CEO dropped me at the mall to buy something." She lied to them, because she didn't want to burst their bubble. "Why don't you ask Chief Secretary Ng instead?" She pointed at him, shifting the burden to the innocent Jawn Ng. "If someone knew the real score between them, it must b
