Alice Seduces Jasper

In the heart of Seattle’s high society, Alice Geng returns—a changed woman. Once a naive girl cast aside by her own family, Alice was betrayed, scorned, and nearly destroyed by those she trusted most. Her father, Williston Geng, driven by greed, married her off to a man who despised her, while her cruel stepsister, Sherlin, and stepmother plotted in the shadows. But what broke her completely was the heart-shattering revelation of her husband’s affair with her stepsister and their plan to take everything she owned—even her life and unborn child. Abandoned and heartbroken, Alice narrowly escaped, leaving the city pregnant and betrayed, disappearing without a trace. For three years, she lived abroad, rising from the ashes of her past to become a powerful woman with connections reaching every corner of the globe. Her once trusting heart now encased in ice, Alice has returned, determined to reclaim her inheritance, exact revenge, and expose the dark secrets of the Geng family. But not everything will go as planned. There’s a twist in Alice’s story—a mystery surrounding her child’s true parentage. Slowly, she’s drawn into a magnetic dance with Jermin Hunt, the cold, calculating CEO of Hunt Enterprises, and a powerful mafia boss feared throughout the city. Jermin is ruthless, with little room for emotion in his life, but Alice’s strength and resilience ignite something within him. Unaware of their shared past, the two will discover that fate has woven their paths together in unexpected ways. Will Jermin be the one to melt the ice around Alice’s heart, or will her thirst for revenge extinguish any chance at love? In a world filled with secrets, deception, and unbridled ambition, Alice must navigate dangerous alliances and confront her past to secure her future—for herself and her child. ---

"S-secrets? W-what secrets? I am not hiding anything," Delilah whispered, her heart drumming against her chest as she tried her best to hide what was going on. The man in front of her smirked before he gripped her throat and pulled her close, loving the sound of her fast-beating heart. "Is that so? Do I make you nervous?" "A little," Delilah admitted. The smirk on the prince's face widened. "Good. Only I am allowed to make you nervous, just like only you are allowed to touch and have this kind of effect on me," The prince rubbed her lips with his thumb before leaning closer, their breaths coming sharp as he gazed into her eyes. "The moment you allow another man to make you feel anything, he will end up dead, and you, you my sweetheart will end up naked under me while I punish you for even looking at others," Zephyr whispered before he crashed his lips on hers, undressing her gently. ~~~~~~ On the mission to find the hidden secrets of the most powerful ancient wolves, Katherine Moon, the leader of the special task force, found herself in a fatal situation.

Task#12- Prepare a sweet dish for the prince. Reward#- 10 points in strength. Second, the system wanted her to seduce the future alpha king if she wanted to make this body stronger. If being reincarnated in a weak body wasn't enough, the body didn't even have a wolf. "Aaaaaa! Fuck my life!" Katherine groaned. "This isn't your life. You must help Delilah reach her destiny," the system's voice came again, making her groan. "If you want to become stronger, you must seduce the future alpha king," The system said again. What Katherine didn't know was that the man in the hidden palace already had his eyes on her. "Sir, is that lady the only one you can touch?" His subordinate asked. Zephyr's eyes shone brightly. "Yes, and I want that girl to be mine," Zephyr said. "But sir, it looks like after being rejected by the commander, she has made your brother her next target," Jacob whispered. "It's a statement, Jacob. That girl is mine. Full stop."

My face reddened, and his lips curled mischievously. Aren’t you an extra too? Why act like the male lead! I only needed the madness as a cure, but now I’m entangled with the villain, destined to vanish before the original story begins.
