Sie ist gezwungen, als uneheliche Tochter der Familie Rosenzweig zu leben. Alle behandeln sie wie eine Außenseiterin in ihrem eigenen Haus. "Das ist meins. Das gehört mir. Eigentlich gehört alles mir", sagt Laylas Halbschwester zu ihr. Alles, was Layla gehörte, geht an ihre Halbschwester, einschließlich ihres Freundes. Dann wird sie gezwungen, den skrupellosen Onkel ihres Ex-Freundes zu heiraten, Lucius De Salvo, den furchterregendsten Mann des Landes. Lucius De Salvo ist bekannt für seine rücksichtslose Art, seine Arbeit zu erledigen. Sein Name reicht aus, um den Menschen Angst zu machen. Man sagt, er sei ein Mann ohne jegliche Gefühle. Er findet Gefallen an den Schmerzen und dem Elend der Menschen. Er liebt es, diejenigen zu quälen, die ihm in die Quere kommen. Aber warum ist er so lieb zu Layla? Oder ist das nur ein Vorwand? "Bist du bereit für die Hochzeitsnacht, Darling?" fragte Lucius. "Ich habe dich schon lange begehrt." "Was?" Layla war schockiert. "Warum solltest du?" "Weil du Layla Rosenzweig bist. Die Frau, die ich mag." Mit diesen Worten eroberte er ihren Mund für einen leidenschaftlichen Kuss. ~~~~~ Folge mir auf Instagram: rayoflight_pcy

Twenty-two year old Layla Mclan is in desperate need of a higher-paying job to clear off her mother's debts.

Layla’s eyes turned red, shoulders trembling, her soul wanting to reach out to her mom but alas… There was no way out, as she was already locked in the room, succumbing to the fears that didn’t feel very distant; She had gone through the same not long before. The agreement papers turned her body cold. Sometimes the worst seems best and there’s no end to the misery days; The one who avenges, the one who endures remains true to their valor. ‘Rule No. 1: Tending to your Master’s needs should be your top priority. Failing to do so, he can punish you however he pleases.’ ‘However, he pleases? What he’s gonna do to me?’ She mused and felt her heart sinking to the bottom of her chest. ‘Rule No. 2: You cannot say ‘no’ or oppose your Master’s orders.’ ‘Rule No. 3: You’re free to wear clothes of your choice… However, he can make you change it if he wants.’ ‘Rule No. 4: You are not allowed to step outside of the property.’ . . . Excerpt: “Ac-Actually I’m sleepy and I spent my day working for the household… Umm… Master, can I ask you something?” “Go ahead.” “I left my mom back home and I took this offer just to meet the debts… So will you pay me the said amount if I listen to your needs?” She asked in her feeble voice. “Needs Hmm… How about you strip off right now and lie down on the bed?” “What?” She exclaimed in horror. “You heard me,” he sounded dead serious. Layla gulped down the heavy lump that she had been holding for quite some time. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ***NOTE*** The cover isn’t mine.

Three rejections. Three shattered dreams. That was Layla’s reality, all because she was different—a half-shifter in a world obsessed with purity. Ostracized, shunned, and finally sold off like a pawn to the most feared ruler alive—the Lycan King. He was ruthless, a king with a graveyard of brides, each one a ghostly reminder of a fate worse than death. Layla loathed him. Hated the way his gaze cold and fathomless, held no warmth for her. Hated how his touch, both thrilling and terrifying, sent an uninvited chill down her spine. --- “I hate you!” I screamed, hands clenched so tight my knuckles ached. He sighed, a smirk curling at the edge of his lips, his tone mocking as he closed his book with a deliberate snap. “Stressed, are we?” he asked, strolling toward me, each step reminding me exactly who held the power here. “Lucky for you,” he drawled, rolling up his sleeves as he stopped just inches away, “I know exactly 70 ways to ease those nerves.” His fingers brushed my cheek, a touch that seemed to burn into my skin. “The first… a hug.” His voice dropped to a rough whisper as he leaned in, breath hot against my ear. “And the rest... well, that's 69? what do you say about that?" I swallowed hard, my heart thudding wildly as he tilted his head, waiting for me to react, that insufferable smirk still in place. “What’s the matter, darling?” he murmured, a taunt lingering in his gaze. --- A Dangerous Obsession Can she resist the pull, or will she dance into the flames of her own destruction? A dark dive into obsession, raw need, and the razor’s edge between desire and devastation. --- LYCAN KING CASSIAN I will tear her apart piece by piece, feeding the wildfire that grips her with each shuddered breath. Like air to flame, I’ll claim every inch, drawing heat from her skin until it sinks into her bones. Her pulse will race under my hands, her breaths shallow, pleading. Her eyes may scream, but her lips will still murmur my name. That first taste of fear will only feed something deeper—a need that burns through her veins, molten and fierce. And just when she’s too far gone to turn back, I’ll twist the knife, giving her the pain she’s learned to crave. She’ll be the moth to my flame, helpless against the very thing that will consume her.

“Los gemelos no pueden estar juntos, o el mundo será destruido.” Dijo Sabrina sin emoción: "¡Tenemos que separaros!" El dolor de una nueva existencia. “¡Simon!” El llanto de la niña hizo mudanzas en el tejido de la trama.  “Yo tomaré todo lo que tienes, abuelo, y te destruiré” El odio del niño hizo quebró lazos. Dos almas que volvieron al mundo, desde temprano, solo para experimentar nuevamente el dolor y el sufrimiento. Pero había personas que de esa vez les acompañarían para luchar contra su destino escrito en piedra, y les mostrarían que vivir, no era solo desespero, cuando había alguien de tu lado. “Te ayudaré”, dijo el joven . “Enfrentaremos eso juntos” “En el pasado, cometimos errores tontos”, la chica que odiaba se puso de su lado. “Pero ahora, juntos, venceremos cualquier desafío, ¿no es para eso que volvimos?” En una dimensión rota, una niña le miraba con tanta codicia e interés que le dio pie de gallina. “Eres exactamente la cobaya que procuraba”, la niña lo miró con una sonrisa sádica que le hizo dar un paso para atrás reflexivamente. “Venga, cuidaré bien de ti” Adentrando en una tienda sospechosa e interesante, el hombre que la comandaba se viró para mirarla, sus ojos, negros, se volvieron azules, como si llamas lo incendiasen.  La chica dio un paso para atrás, sintiendo el peligro, pero la porta se cerró detrás de ella con un golpe y el hombre le sonrió. E con una voz magnética y seductora, le dijo calma y posesivamente. "Estás finalmente aquí, de esa vez, no te dejaré ir." Mientras los poderes dimensionales luchaban, planeaban, crecían, ganaban y perdían. El árbol del mundo dejó su última hoja caer. Iniciando. El fin.

L’horloge de la vieille gare de Saint-Roch indiquait 23h57. L’air était chargé d’humidité, et une fine brume rampait entre les pavés du quai désert. À cette heure, plus personne ne s’attardait ici—sauf lui. Gabriel Delcourt attendait. Son manteau sombre battait légèrement sous la caresse du vent nocturne. Ses yeux, d’un vert profond, scrutaient l’obscurité au-delà des rails, là où les lumières de la ville s’arrêtaient net. Il n’aimait pas cet endroit. Trop de souvenirs. Trop de fantômes. Un murmure s’éleva derrière lui, comme une respiration retenue trop longtemps. Il se retourna brusquement, son cœur martelant sa poitrine. Personne. Pourtant, il le savait : il n’était pas seul. Ce soir marquait le début d’une quête qu’il aurait préféré éviter, un plongeon dans un passé qu’il s’était efforcé d’oublier. Mais on ne fuit pas éternellement les ombres, surtout quand elles portent un nom. Et le sien venait d’être murmuré dans l'obscurité.

'A self-centric Female Lead, lost-in-love Male Leads, and useless extras who will die. On top of it, this world will not be here for long because of that ancient threat. So, what should I do now?' What kind of world was a world of Female-Oriented Fantasy romance? One filled with tinted glass and roses? Life should have been easy here, right? Wrong! Layla had read this book before, and she knew what happened. "Those useless leads left this world in a shamble! I need to do something about it before it gets destroyed. If I am going to live here, I need to ensure this world stays alive long enough. Who has time for romance when the world will end soon?" Her goal was set, and her life was laid out. Layla was going to use whatever she could to secure her second life. Everyone was a useful piece from here on, and Layla used them well to achieve her end goal. This might be a world based on a fantasy romance, but she would ensure it would not repeat it's ending. ______ Note: It has a strong Female Protagonist as the MC. No romance, no harem, no yuri.
