"Tu me détestes," articula silencieusement Lily avec des lèvres tremblantes. Zayn se pencha plus près, sa voix basse et amère. "Non. La haine est trop bon marché. Je veux que tu ressentes ce que j'ai ressenti. Chaque cri. Chaque perte." Elle n'a pas tressailli. Elle était fatiguée de supplier. Elle le regardait simplement avec des yeux pleins de douleur silencieuse. Alors pourquoi avait-il l'impression que son cœur se brisait? Lily Brightpaw est née fille d'un Alpha, mais elle n'a jamais vécu comme telle. Muette depuis l'enfance et incapable de se transformer, elle était traitée comme une malédiction par sa famille. Blâmée pour la mort de sa mère et battue jusqu'au silence, Lily a grandi sans amour et indésirable. Elle croyait que la Déesse de la Lune lui enverrait un compagnon qui la sauverait, mais elle avait tort. La nuit où sa meute est tombée, Lily a été traînée hors d'une cabane et jetée aux pieds de son nouvel Alpha, Zayn Knightmoon. Il était l'homme que sa famille avait asservi. Maintenant, il est l'alpha qui règne sur elle et il veut se venger. Zayn a tout perdu. Son père. Sa compagne. Sa meute. Tout aux mains de la famille de Lily. Quand il a réalisé que Lily était sa seconde chance de compagne, il l'a rejetée sans hésitation et a juré de la faire souffrir. Mais plus il la punissait, plus il voyait la vérité: Lily n'était en rien comme les monstres qui l'avaient élevée. Elle est aussi une victime et brisée... comme lui. Zayn s'est retrouvé déchiré entre la vengeance et un lien qu'il n'a jamais demandé. La souffrance de Lily sera-t-elle suffisante pour apaiser les fantômes de son passé ou la vengeance les détruira-t-elle tous les deux?

"Du hasst mich", formte Lily mit zitternden Lippen. Zayn lehnte sich näher, seine Stimme leise und bitter. "Nein. Hass ist zu billig. Ich will, dass du fühlst, was ich gefühlt habe. Jeden Schrei. Jeden Verlust." Sie zuckte nicht zurück. Sie war es leid zu flehen. Sie sah ihn nur mit Augen voller stiller Schmerzen an. Warum fühlte es sich dann an, als würde sein Herz zerbrechen? Lily Brightpaw wurde als Tochter eines Alphas geboren, aber sie lebte nie wie eine. Von Kindheit an stumm und unfähig sich zu verwandeln, wurde sie von ihrer Familie als Fluch behandelt. Für den Tod ihrer Mutter verantwortlich gemacht und in die Stille geprügelt, wuchs Lily ungeliebt und ungewollt auf. Sie glaubte, die Mondgöttin würde ihr einen Gefährten schicken, der sie retten würde, aber sie lag falsch. In der Nacht, als ihr Rudel fiel, wurde Lily aus einer Hütte gezerrt und zu Füßen ihres neuen Alphas, Zayn Knightmoon, geworfen. Er war der Mann, den ihre Familie versklavt hatte. Jetzt ist er der Alpha, der über sie herrscht, und er will Rache. Zayn hat alles verloren. Seinen Vater. Seine Gefährtin. Sein Rudel. Alles durch die Hände von Lilys Familie. Als er erkannte, dass Lily seine zweite Chance auf einen Gefährten ist, wies er sie ohne zu zögern zurück und schwor, sie leiden zu lassen. Aber je mehr er sie bestrafte, desto mehr erkannte er die Wahrheit: Lily war nicht wie die Monster, die sie großgezogen hatten. Sie ist auch ein Opfer und gebrochen... wie er. Zayn fand sich zerrissen zwischen Rache und einer Bindung, die er nie wollte. Wird Lilys Leiden ausreichen, um die Geister seiner Vergangenheit zu beruhigen, oder wird Rache sie beide zerstören?

"Me odias", articuló Lily con labios temblorosos. Zayn se acercó más, su voz baja y amarga. "No. El odio es demasiado barato. Quiero que sientas lo que yo sentí. Cada grito. Cada pérdida". Ella no se inmutó. Estaba cansada de suplicar. Solo lo miró con ojos llenos de dolor silencioso. Entonces, ¿por qué sentía como si su corazón se estuviera haciendo pedazos? Lily Brightpaw nació hija de un Alfa, pero nunca vivió como tal. Muda desde la infancia e incapaz de transformarse, fue tratada como una maldición por su familia. Culpada por la muerte de su madre y golpeada hasta el silencio, Lily creció sin amor y no deseada. Ella creía que la Diosa de la Luna le enviaría una pareja que la rescataría, pero estaba equivocada. La noche en que su manada cayó, Lily fue arrastrada de una choza y arrojada a los pies de su nuevo Alfa, Zayn Knightmoon. Él era el hombre al que su familia había esclavizado. Ahora es el alfa que gobierna sobre ella y quiere venganza. Zayn lo perdió todo. Su padre. Su pareja. Su manada. Todo a manos de la familia de Lily. Cuando se dio cuenta de que Lily es su segunda oportunidad de pareja, la rechazó sin dudarlo y juró hacerla sufrir. Pero cuanto más la castigaba, más veía la verdad: Lily no se parecía en nada a los monstruos que la criaron. Ella también es una víctima y está rota... como él. Zayn se encontró dividido entre la venganza y un vínculo que nunca pidió. ¿Será suficiente el sufrimiento de Lily para calmar los fantasmas de su pasado o la venganza los destruirá a ambos?

Rhys needs Clementine's firm to complete a prestigious, city-defining project that will solidify his dominance. Their agreement is clear: a year of public pretense, no emotional entanglements, and a shared goal of professional success. It's a business deal, pure and simple, or so they tell themselves. From their first fiery encounter, Clementine and Rhys clash. She sees him as an arrogant, unfeeling corporate shark; he views her as an impulsive, impractical artist. Yet, forced into close quarters by the demands of their fake marriage and the complexities of the architectural project, their sharp banter slowly gives way to grudging respect. Kaelen's unconventional methods challenge Rhys's rigid control, while his unwavering support in unexpected moments chips away at her cynicism. As they navigate treacherous corporate rivals, scandalous rumors, and the suffocating expectations of high society, an undeniable, inconvenient attraction ignites. They discover hidden vulnerabilities, shared dreams, and a surprising passion that threatens to shatter the carefully constructed walls around their hearts. But when a long-buried secret from Rhys's past resurfaces, threatening to unravel their fragile bond and expose the truth of their contract, Kaelen and Rhys must decide if their unscripted love is strong enough to withstand the storm. This is a fast-paced, dialogue-rich tale of two stubborn souls who find love where they least expect it, proving that even the most ironclad contracts can't dictate the heart's true desires.

They call him Ghost. A name whispered in fear across warzones, black markets, and underworld circles. To the world, he's a phantom—a faceless mercenary who leaves no trace but bodies in his wake.

Her fingers itched to tear it apart, to make this nightmare disappear. But deep down, she knew that wouldn’t change anything. “I don’t remember,” she whispered, more to herself than to him. “I don’t remember any of it.” Blake nodded as if he had expected this reaction. “That is expected. You had a lot to drink last night.” he fished out a phone from the back pocket of his trousers, opened it. “Here, this is us celebrating, after we got married last night,” he said, showing her a picture. Delilah’s breath caught in her throat as she stared at the photo. It was indeed her. “How?” she whispered, her voice barely audible. “I don’t remember any of this.” “It was a wild night,” he said softly. Perhaps she had married Blake because he was wealthy. That would be the only logical reason for her to make such a blunder. There was hope, she thought, as she clung to the possibility of salvaging something from this disaster. Turning to him, she forced a smile, “Is this your house? Are we in your house?” She asked, looking around the bedroom. Blake shook his head, “No. This is a hotel,” he said, and she nodded. “I see. It looks like quite an expensive hotel,” she observed, “What do you do for a living?” she asked, trying to keep her voice steady as she searched his eyes for any hint of affluence. Blake hesitated, his confident demeanor faltering for the first time. He looked away, rubbing the back of his neck. “I’m... in between jobs,” he stuttered, avoiding her gaze. Delilah’s heart sank, disappointment crashing over her like a wave. “In between jobs?” she echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief. Blake seemed to sense her dismay. “I know it doesn’t sound great,” he said quickly, trying to reassure her. “But I’m working on a few things. I just need a little more time.” “You’re jobless,” she muttered to herself as reality sunk in. “How did you pay for this room? For the wedding bands?” She asked, and he winced. “I didn’t. You did,” he said, and she collapsed on the bed. (PS: Cover photo isn’t mine. Credit to the real owner)

Clara, a fiercely independent graphic designer and new single mother to adorable baby Leo, is on the brink. With a career-defining project looming and her childcare plans in smithereens, she’s out of options and almost out of caffeine. Across the hall in their vibrant Artisan’s Quarter apartment building lives Ethan, a meticulous, career-driven architect whose perfectly ordered world is as sleek and minimalist as his ambitions are grand. He needs a “stable partner” image—fast—to clinch a make-or-break partnership at Sterling & Finch. A desperate situation calls for a desperate solution: the "Project Co-Habitation & Career Advancement Mutual Assistance Pact." It’s a hilariously formal, strictly platonic agreement where Ethan becomes Leo’s weekday caregiver in exchange for Clara playing the role of his devoted partner at crucial work events. Lines are drawn, rules are made (mostly in a shared, sarcastically annotated Google Doc), and disaster is meticulously planned for. But as Bridgewood City buzzes around them, and baby Leo’s innocent charm works its magic, the carefully constructed walls between Clara and Ethan begin to crumble. Late-night baby duties turn into shared laughter, business arrangements blur into unexpected tenderness, and the undeniable chemistry simmering beneath their witty banter becomes too potent to ignore. Can their unconventional pact survive the intrusion of real, messy emotions? Or will the fine print of their deal be hilariously rewritten by a love that was never part of the plan? "Today's Kind of Fairytale" is a witty, heartwarming contemporary romance about unexpected love, the beautiful chaos of modern parenting, and finding your own version of happily ever after, right where you least expect it.

For ten years, Elena Morrison gave everything—her heart, her career, and even her family—to a man who cast her aside for another. When her world shattered, she leapt to her death, only to wake up a decade earlier. Determined to rewrite her destiny, Elena vows to avoid the man who betrayed her and protect her future. But her plans take a sharp turn when she uncovers the truth: she isn’t just a discarded wife. She’s a stolen heiress, and her entire life has been a lie. Now caught in a whirlwind of forbidden love, family secrets, and dangerous schemes, Elena finds herself in a sudden marriage with Victor Sterling, a man as dangerous as he is alluring. Together, they must uncover a tangled web of deceit that stretches back decades. Will she reclaim her life, or will the same forces that destroyed her before rise again to take everything?

No dia do meu casamento, meu noivo foi pego em flagrante com seu amor puro Lily no banheiro, seus corpos nus expostos a todos os convidados. O resultado foi inevitável; o casamento trocou de noivas na hora. Meu pai sofreu um derrame devido ao choque e faleceu apenas alguns dias depois. Incapaz de suportar a morte repentina do meu pai e os rumores circulantes, minha mãe saltou do trigésimo andar de um prédio alto. Durante aquele período mais sombrio da minha vida, desenvolvi graves problemas psicológicos. Rylan, o irmão mais novo do meu ex-noivo, ficou ao meu lado dia e noite, me salvando de inúmeras tentativas de suicídio. Levou dois anos inteiros antes que eu finalmente me recuperasse. No dia da minha recuperação, Rylan alugou o iate mais luxuoso da cidade, cobrindo o convés com novecentas e noventa e nove rosas, e me pediu em casamento. Depois daqueles dois anos de companhia constante, eu já havia me apaixonado por Rylan. Com lágrimas nos olhos, aceitei seu pedido. No nosso quinto aniversário de casamento, trouxe um presente cuidadosamente preparado, esperando surpreendê-lo. Em vez disso, acidentalmente ouvi uma conversa entre ele e sua secretária. "Já se passaram cinco anos. Por causa de Lily, estou casado com essa mulher nojenta há cinco anos. Só de pensar em comemorar nosso aniversário com ela mais tarde me dá náuseas." A voz da secretária tremeu: "Sr. Sterling, por favor beba menos. Se essas palavras escaparem na frente de sua esposa, será difícil encobrir." "E se a Sra. Sterling descobrir que há sete anos, contratamos alguém para remover o tubo de oxigênio do pai dela..." Rylan não mostrou preocupação, até mesmo exibindo uma expressão zombeteira. "Por Lily, estou disposto a fazer qualquer coisa." "Além disso, já desperdicei toda a minha vida com aquela vadia."
