Contract Bound

OUT of boredom, Apple thought of sketching a teddy bear on the blank side of a contract in front of her, without her realizing that it was actually a contract and her sketch would be counted as her signature. Nakasaad ditong kailangan n'yang samahan si Dravour Ichigo Forestier, isang sikat na modelo, sa loob ng isang taon, hindi lamang upang maging alila nito kundi upang paibigin ito bago matapos ang kontrata. Sa kabilang banda, kontrata ang naisip na paraan ni Dravour upang makahanap ng babaeng ihaharap sa kaniyang ina. Ito ay bilang pagtutol niya sa kagustuhan nitong ipakasal siya sa kaniyang kababatang si Shantall na hindi naman niya mahal. Ang kaibigang sina Hiro at Kio ang tumutulong sa kan'ya sa paghahanap ng babae, at kapag hindi n'ya ito nagugustuhan ay s'ya na mismo ang tumatapos sa kontrata. Bagama't mas'yadong isip-bata at 'weird' ang dalaga ay hindi kaagad tinapos ni Dravour ang kasunduan kahit na malaya siyang gawin iyon sa simula pa lamang. Hindi n'ya rin magawang ipakita sa babae ang kaniyang tunay at itinatagong kondisyon dahil sa takot — takot na iwan din s'ya nito katulad ng ginawa ng mga naunang babaeng kaniya ring pinaperma. Sa kabila ng mga balakid at problemang idinulot ng kontratang iyon, pipiliin pa rin ba nila na ipagpatuloy ito? O sila na rin mismo ang kaagad na tatapos dito?

Getting hit by a car should have ended my story. Instead, it was only the beginning. Waking up in a strange new world ruled by werewolves, I’m given a mission by an AI-like voice: Find Thorne—the broken, outcast alpha—and stop him from becoming the monster destined to destroy this world. Saving him should have been simple. Stay close. Win his trust. Change his future. But I wasn’t prepared for the fierce, wounded man behind the scars. I wasn’t prepared for the way his golden eyes watched me like I was the only thing he needed to survive. And I definitely wasn’t prepared for how my heart began to betray me, falling for the very man I was sent to save. Now that Thorne has risen to power, he refuses to let me go—body, soul, and heart. I came here to change his fate. I never expected him to claim mine. And if I can't find a way to choose between my old world and the alpha who would burn down kingdoms to keep me, I might lose both.

Astrid Jones had just gotten into college and was juggling studies and her part time waitering job at the popular Queens House, when she met Robin DeMarco, the well known billionaire. Robin's fiancé had just jilted him just few weeks to their wedding, so he was in desperate need for a substitute bride he would pay handsomely, to go down the aisle with him and they would get divorced after three months. Astrid had accepted the proposal because of the pay and had went on with the fake marriage. However, fate had other plans for her, when she started budding feelings for Robin towards the end of their contract term. Would he ever love her back, especially when his ex fiancé was back in his life? Astrid was forced to choose, either to fight for her love or leave like the contract had stated.

“Are you going to kill me?” Shawn whispered. Owen’s fingers slid up his throat, squeezing lightly as he backed him against the wall. “If I wanted you dead, you wouldn’t still be talking.” Shawn swallowed hard. “Then what do you want?” His mouth curved, giving him that dangerous rugged smile. “I’m deciding.” *** That morning, Shawn only wanted to finish his shift, collect his pay, and get back to the real problems waiting for him outside the hotel: tuition he couldn’t afford, a mother dying in a hospital bed, and a younger sister who still believed he could fix everything. Then he walked into the wrong suite. There was blood on white sheets. Fangs buried deep in a dying man’s throat. Crimson eyes meeting his across the room. The creature should have killed him. But no, it didn't. It let him run. Now it’s everywhere. In his dreams, his space and in his thoughts. Watching him. Waiting… And just when he thinks the nightmare can’t follow him into daylight, he learns. The vampire has a name. Owen Rothwell de Valemont, as old as history. And he’s Shawn’s new boss. Owen doesn’t chase him. He doesn’t threaten. He simply moves closer, adjusting the world around Shawn until escape becomes impossible. And Shawn, fear should drive him away. Instead it turns into something darker. Something harder to resist.

He’s a ruthless, powerful, and undefeated Alpha. She’s a weak omega with no family or rights, a slave. Could the moon goddess have made a mistake? In the history of this infamous race, there has never been a divine mating between an Alpha and an Omega. Power and weakness do not mix. Aurora, an omega with no memory of her past, has done well to live quietly and hidden in a pack that merely tolerates her. Damon Bane, one of the strongest Alphas to ever grace the battlefield has returned from war. He’s to conquer a list of other alphas in battle and become the Alpha king. But first, he needs a Luna to be qualified. He has no interest in love or matrimony. So he agrees to have his Luna chosen for him. Then the unbelievable happens. Aurora, a slave and omega in the pack, is chosen for the Alpha. Aurora’s quiet life is driven into chaos when the Alpha rejects her. She has nowhere else to go. Especially with the dark secret that haunts her. Will the moon goddess’ choice make or break the Silvercrest pack? Or can Aurora prove to her Alpha what she’s worthy and melt his cold, lonely heart? And when she finds out his secret, a deep truth hidden from all, will he be able to trust her with his legacy? *** “Damn the moon goddess. Never will I bed a pathetic, little omega, or make her my Queen! She has nothing to offer and is worth less.” His eyes glowed blood red when he turned to her, his exposed fangs stamping his disgust. “If I ever set my eyes on you again, I’ll rip your throat open with my teeth and send you to the goddess.”

The day before her wedding, Nora Gibson discovered that her fiancé had impregnated her sister, causing her immense pain.

Despite his flaws, they had a one-night stand that created a bond between them that would last a lifetime.

He was supposed to be my salvation. Instead, he rejected me. Cael has lived his whole life in the shadows, an omega without a wolf, without worth, without hope. At his second mating ceremony, the one chance the Moon Goddess promised him, he’s humiliated and abandoned all over again. Broken. Forgotten. Until the Alpha King finds him. Thorne, fierce and burdened with prophecy, has been waiting for a sign that his fading kingdom still has a future. When he stumbles across Cael, something ancient stirs, the prophecy awakens, binding them in ways neither of them expected. But power this dangerous always comes with a price. The Hollowborn are hunting, packs whisper rebellion, and fate demands more of Cael than anyone believes he can give. He was supposed to be the weakest omega alive. Now he might be the only one who can save them all.
