The One I Yearn For

“I’m confused,” Jane said. “Actually I’m very confused.” Tristan gave her a bored look, “About what?” “What just happened upstairs? Did you forget that you just told your mother- I mean Your Highness that we are dating? Because the last time I checked, we spent one night together?! Are you crazy?” “It’s really not that complicated,” Tristan turned towards her, a determined look in his eyes. “We will date for a while. I mean fake date for a while so that my mother and the media can get off our back. No big deal. It’s not like you have a boyfriend or anything. Why are you worried?” Jane wanted to kill him and wipe that lazy smirk off his face. But he was royalty, and she would pretty much be hung for that. It was not worth it. *** Jane Rosetti is an exchange medical student in Walsh, new to almost everything.

One night. || One mistake. || One Alpha who won't let her go. She had one plan to escape her arranged marriage to the crippled Alpha—lose her virginity to a stranger and make herself unsuitable as a bride. Desperate and heartbroken after catching her boyfriend with another woman, she walks into a club room and gives herself to a man she'll never see again. Except she does see him again. The next day. In a wheelchair. Surrounded by guards. The stranger wasn't a stranger at all—he was the Alpha himself. And he was never crippled. Now she's trapped in a marriage she thought she'd escaped, bound to a man who knows every inch of her body but reveals nothing of his secrets. He moves through shadows, hunting traitors in his pack while playing the weakened leader by day. And he's decided she belongs to him—not because of politics or duty, but because of a mate bond only he can feel. When he discovers her university application, her last hope for freedom, he doesn't hesitate. One word from him could destroy her future, blacklist her from every college on the continent. She'll stay. She'll play his wife. And she'll hate him for it. But he doesn't need her love. Not yet. He has time to make her understand that the night she tried to throw away was the night that sealed both their fates. She can fight him all she wants—he's already decided how this ends. She thinks he stole her choice. He knows he's just claiming what was always his. In a world where women have no power and Alphas have all of it, she'll learn that the most dangerous prison is the one built by a mate who refuses to let go.

Just as my wealthy boyfriend and I were talking about getting married, his mother dismissed me as an unrefined girl and demanded I attend a finishing school to learn how to be a proper wife. Looking at Zach’s pleading gaze, I gave in. I endured relentless psychological and physical torment for three months. However, on the day I was discharged, I overheard a phone call between Zach and his friend. “Zach, if you don’t want to marry Cathy, why didn’t you just tell her? Why did you have to send her to that hellhole to suffer? That finishing school your family runs is a freaking torture chamber. Constant beatings, electric shocks, forced kneeling for hours… No one comes out of there the same.” “You don’t get it. Jen is about to get engaged, and I can’t risk Cathy ruining it. As long as Jen is happy, I don’t care who I marry. Cathy grew up poor, so she can endure a little hardship. Three months of hardship for a lifetime of Stein money is a fair trade.” My vision blurred with tears when I heard those cruel words from his mouth. I thought. “Zach, since you loved Jenna so much, why did you have to toy with my feelings?”

After being reborn into a new world, the system assigned me four male leads and a mission to complete. As long as I successfully won over one of them, I would be able to come back to life, as I had died in a car accident in my original world. However, I failed with all four. Every one of them fell in love with the female lead of that world instead. Because of that, they turned their hostility toward me, hurling cruel words and even telling me to die. In the end, I failed my mission, and I chose to leave that world. Only when they saw my body did they completely break down.

On the anniversary of my mother’s death, my girlfriend told me she had to work overtime. However, her first love later posted something on social media: [Thanks to Camelia for coming to celebrate my birthday with me!] My chest tightened and my hands shook as I called her to demand an explanation. She replied calmly, “It’s Grayson’s 25th birthday today. It’s important. I didn’t want to miss it.” That was it. I let out a bitter laugh and looked down at the cancer diagnosis report in my hand. It was alright. I would be dead soon anyway.

Is there anything more tragic than having a crush on your boss? Being secretly In love with an Alpha that still engages in sexism. It would be a bitter secret love that was going to end in vain? It would be unrequited love? Or it would turn into an unexpected love story?

All my life I've been waiting for my mate. I never thought he would turn out to be my boss. I’m his secretary by day, but his secret lover by night. That’s been our status quo for four years now. He says an Alpha in his position must maintain his reputation. “My family’s honor is my greatest privilege,” he once said to me. Honor might keep Emeric Garvalle from claiming me properly as his. But it sure doesn’t stop him from devouring me during our weekly hookups. Nor does it stop him from locking his office door behind us and bending me over his big mahogany desk whenever he feels so inclined. Most of the time, Emeric is nothing but cold to me. But he’s like a different person in bed, where he can’t get enough of me. A secretary with benefits. That’s all he wants me to be.

She gave herself two choices; abortion or keep it and either way she tells him or not. Will it kill her from the inside or will she live her life how she wanted with the kid or not. The ending is an twist sad/happy story of the little girl after years of finding out who her father was, does the same thing he did with her mother.
